lambaian kaabah...


I came home from work Friday evening last week and sat with Mama who was watching one of her favourite dramas on TV.

"Jom pergi umrah. First flight on 15 Jan... Mama dah kira dah. You only need to take 7 days leave because of CNY. Seats selling fast."

So that's how it started. I've been harbouring hopes to pay tanah suci Makkah another visit since my last was over 15 years ago.

Checked with boss, OK can take leave. On Monday (I had planned the leave some time back) I went to the travel agent, got a salinan of my surat beranak for visa-muhrim purposes (couldn't find the original even after selongkar the whole house... Mama had misplaced them).

So... insyaAllah, I'll be heading there next month. I'm quite excited!
