Going to Bangkok

Salam alaykum

Ita a good feeling to be able to leave the nest and went for a trip with others once in a while. Here it goes .... another conference trip with my good buddy and our husbands. And this time its Bangkok.

We decided to go 2 days earlier to get a better glimpse of Bangkok and Allah's beautiful creations.

Prior to going to Bangkok, we did a research on what are the interesting places, the transportations system, halal eating places, prayer (solah) places and what souveniors they offer. Alhamdulillah... we the advent of the technology... all these information is just a click away. Through some blog walking and site viewing, we prepared a thorough itenarary that is agreed by both.

We began our day at 4am. We leave the house at 5am heading to the airport. We parked our car at the Putrajaya LRT station and took the ERL transit to the airport. As we took the AirAsia, our airport will be the KLIA2, Malaysia's low cost carrier terminal. It has been on few occasions that we parked our car at the Putrajaya station when taking the flight to any places. The parking fees and ERL ticket is cheaper than taking the airport cab to and fro the airport and our house. For 4 days, the parking charges was only approximately RM24.

Reaching the airport we hurriedly to the Drop Bag counter as we had ealier done the online Checked-in. We, later proceed to perform our solat Subuh. And later leisurely walk our way to the designated Gate. The flight is scheduled at 8.20am.

Alhamdulillah... the flight was on time and smooth. We ordered in-flight breakfast earlier. Alhamdulillah the food was satisfying.

Immediately upon disembarking the flight and passing through the immigration checks, we were greeted by the mamy telco companies for a temporary sim card. We were offered an unlimited data plan for 300Baht for duration of a week... and we accepted the offer. While the girl set up our phones, another lady briefing us on how to get about to the various interesting places. And were suggested to take the metered taxi to our first destination, our hotel, the Royal Orchid Sheraton.

For the taxi, we proceed to the left of the airport exit to Exit 8. There was a taxi counter there. Alhamdulillah it was a smooth drive through the highway to the hotel. It took us approximately 30 minutes to reach the hotel from the Don Mueang Airport (unlike the many readings on the massive traffic jam in Bangkok which estimated for an hour 30 minutes to the hotel from the airport).

Alhamdulillah... we were allowed for an early check-in at the hotel.

Our first destination as per in our itenarary is the famous Chatuchak market.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
