Back at work ....

Assalamualaikum wbt.  Syukur, alhamdulillah.  Dah hari ke 18 kita berpuasa.  Selamat meneruskan ibadah puasa.   Kita di fasa kedua Ramadan yang penuh barakah, pengampunan Allah amat dekat, bersama-sama lah kita lipatgandakan amalan untuk meraih keampunanNya.

I am back at work.  Tengok meja yang penuh dengan papers, rasa trauma dah.  Anyway, blog had been quiet for the past few days.  Sebabnya aku balik kampung.  And I managed to do most that I wanted to do.  Syukur alhamdulillah.  Met wonderful people there.  Yes, and the most wonderful one.  Somebody should agree.  We depart KL on Saturday around 1.00 am and arrived AStar almost 6.00 am.  Lama kan?  Sebabnya berhenti beberapa kali.  Last stop was at Pelita Nasi Kandar in Juru for sahur.  Tak banyak boleh buat on Saturday sebab pejabat-pejabat yang aku nak pergi tutup.  Lupa pulak Saturday tu cuti hujung minggu.  So kena tunggu hari Ahad.  Cadang nak ke bazaar Ramadan around Jitra.  Someone dah bagi direction bagai, tapi kami drive sampai ke Kodiang tak jumpa2 pun bazaar tu.  Tanya orang kat tepi jalan, dia pun bagi direction, still kami tak jumpa.  Last2 tengok jam dah almost 6.50 pm, terpaksa patah balik area hotel and beli lauk kat situ.  Kami buka puasa kat bilik je.  Best la jugak, a simple buka puasa.  Bangun sahur at around 4-ish, makan roti and ikan bilis goreng.  Hotel ada bagi sahur - packed rice with ayam  masak merah, ikan percik and kambing masak kurma.  Haishh... mana la kami boleh makan macam tu bagai.

Sunday we were out half of the day doing what I had wanted to do.  Alor Star town ni kaya dengan traffic lights.  Banyak la sungguh.  Jem la jugak, tapi quite teratur.  Nak habag kata orang Kedah obedient bab-bab ikut traffic light ni.  Aku pun masa tu rasa diri ni so Kedah.  Kalau kat KL?  Haishhh... tak leh cerita.  Nanti kakak akan tulis something else!  Anyway, managed to do what I had wanted to do.  Was in  K.Nerang jumpa ustaz kat Madrasah Darul Ulum, jumpa Ustaz Razak kat pejabat zakat and lastly jumpa imam masjid kat kampung aku.  Paling mustahak, aku dapat visit kubur arwah ayah.  Ada lagi yang lain-lain yang tak sempat, tapi that aku boleh selesaikan other ways.  Planned to be back by tengahari sebab adik nak jumpa Irfan.  Merajuk pulak  kalau aku over-over with all my plans!  Buka puasa on Sunday was at the Club House.  RM48 nett person - ok lah. Food was good and macam-macam ada!  Lepas solat semua, packing and check-out.  We met Irfan and Iqbal for coffee and also to say goodbye.  Mhmmm...

It was a fruitful and interesting trip overall.  Adik, I hope you have had a good time walaupun ada hiccups!  My apologies to Irfan for making too many plans of my own forgetting they had their plans too.  Macam tu lah mummy kalau dapat balik kampung - lupa habis orang lain punya plan.  Anyway, I wish happiness and the best for all.  Somebody balik KL je dah angau - she said to me and Edrie last night that she missed him already.  Irfan, do something!  

Will be back there again soonest - lepas raya.  We are going to have more time, insyaAllah.  Kakak dah plan nak makan nasi lemak at our favourite gerai.  She had asked the owner of the kedai and she said 2nd day raya dah bukak.  That's kakak with food!
