The Unforgettable 38w4d Checkup

Posted on by

So a week after we went for another check up. Which was yesterday. The hilarious one i must say. Funny but complicated. Lol

Few days before i was sooo looking forward for birth, coz first; my husband finally here (yay!), second; its about time when Aaqil was born ie at around 38wks, third; cant wait to meet this lil bub, his weight is just niceeee, just the right ‘size’ for me to push him out? I even googled “gentle birthing tips” and “how to induce labor naturally” ha ha thats how serious i was. We even planned the long weekend for jalan2 at mall dari hujung ke hujung just to kickoff the labor ;p

So yesterday, husband teased me. Nak naik tangga tak sampai tingkat 6 (the clinic) . But i replied takpelah, tgk nanti kalau baby belum engagaged kita turun pakai tangga lah. He he.

I gained 2kgs in a week!! Yayy. Siap cakap yesss masa timbang. Nurse tu pun pelik2 tny kenapa suka haha. 

Fiza called my name. Tak sempat nak duduk dpn Dr Seri terus Dr Seri cakap “kausar duk diam2 ya” pastu tgk my face clueless, dia sambung…”Coz i’ll be flying to xxx tonite. I’ll only be back on 1 Feb…”

Buntang mata jap. Taktau nak react camne. Pandang husband. Pastu sengih lama2 tergelak sbb kelakar dr seri cakap gitu ??

Dr Seri kata the plan was adhoc and she has to make this trip yada yada. Family related thingy. Tapi rasa cam kelakarrrr sangat the whole session we were laughing our hearts out sebab now we have to plan to just stay home the whole weekend lol. And no more Jan babyyyy. Dgn Fiza2 pun sama masuk dalam cerita psl cny holiday plan lol

Dr Seri quickly ok let us scan the baby so we know where we’re at. She pressed my tummy. Oooo tinggi lagi ni. Phew baby has not engaged yet. Haha phew okay. And he gained 200g in a week alhamdulillahhh. No more worries. Ummi makan byk. If the babys out after Dr Seri balik, he’ll prolly be 3.2kg camtu whoaaa. Aaqil was only 2.85kg mind you. She even said that she doesnt like to induce her patients just because she’ll be away for vacation its ufair to them. And she’s not keen on ‘giveaway’ her patients to other gynaes. Mcm rasa xbest gitu. Awwww

The head was still ‘floating’ as shown in the ultrasound screen. Not in the birth canal yet. Not just yet. Alhamdulillahh 

Dr Shilpa will be replacing Dr Seri’s cases when shes away. But ye lah of course you want your own gynae to be there when u in labor kan. Plus shes the only muslim lady gynae in the hosp. I want her to sambut my baby…

So. For now, all i can do is not to induce labor naturally just yet. Let the baby snuggle a lil bit longer. Enjoy the last few days being preganant. Aaqil to enjoy his last few days of being the only child. Oh and did i tell you that i’ve begin my nesting instinct — i can spent this cny weekend spring cleaning my wardrobe, my fridge, my freezer… He he

Having said that, on topppppp of everything, the most important thing is my baby is safely delivered, healthy and we both have no complications post delivery. Amiin. Whoever sambut the baby is no 2. Babies know their birthday. Allah knows best. Right. 
Oh we’ll be meeting the gynae again on 2nd Feb! What happen in between today to that date is rahsia Allah. Pray for us!! ❤️

So earlier today we went for our 38wks check up. Was quite nervous the whole time because we need only oneeeeeee more week before we can let the baby out. Aci ke ayat cemtuh. Coz next week husband will still be in KK. And i still have to close out my project final review. CNY only we can call “its timeeee babyyyyy” ? So sekarang baby pls help yourself inside ummi buatlah mcm rumah sendiri sementara tunggu walid balik okayy

So i just gained 100gram from my weight 2wks ago ie 60.7kg. Say whatttt. We actually went for brunch at Haslam prior to the checkup — nasi campur ngan roti canai pisang dgn 2gelas air. So i thot that wud make me emm 2kgs heavier, no? In total i’ve gained 13kgs from my pre pregnancy weight. Ok la kan. 

So masa scan i was hoping that the baby took all the 100g plus 100g from i dunno where. Our 36wks recorded 2.6kgs. Today? 2.76kg. When Dr Seri plotted the fetal growth in the chart, it seemed the baby growth is at plateau abit. Growth not as expected. 

Suspen.

“Hmm kenapa eh doc. Saya makan banyak dah… Amniotic fluid ok kan”

“Tu la i tgk mcm plateau ni. Hmm. Let me measure the fluid. So far i nampak normal je. If not i kena induce you…”

Terus muka pucat pandang husben. Dalam hati doa supaya everything is normal. I dun fancy the word induce. Tskkk

“Ok sini ok. Here also ok. Hah… Ur fluid level just fine. Kenapa ni adikkkk. I rasa u memang jenis ruan kecik ni…”

Pandai Dr Seri sedapkan hati i huhu

Oh btw baby still on the high side. Tak turun lagi. Which makes me relief. Coz we need at least another week pretty pls. CNY onwards nanti kita jalan bebanyak ok. Ukur jubin mall, squat dsbg

So next checkup is in 6days. 

Lepas pcmc singgah low yat plaza. Husband nak cari barang. So lepak minum frappe nak kasi berat katanya. But honestly i ate a lot. Err i think. Tho at times i ate in less portion coz my tummy getting smaller i guess. 

As long as the baby is fine and healthy we are more than happy amiiin

So baby pls stay put til next checkup and grow sikit je lagi before we meet okayhhh ❤️

2016 Rolla Costah

cant believe its already the last day of 2016! I’d say this year flies so fast u have no idea. So many ups and downs, dreams shattered, plans gone haywired, unexpected gift and surprisingly we managed to go through this year phewwww*lap peluh* … syukur ke hadrat ilahi

Familyplanning-wise, I can still remember we (our little family) started the year with high hope that my husband will demob to KL from Ashgabat for good in Feb; after been let down for few months, as promised by HR…since early 2015 mind u ;( So we braved few more weeks to Feb 2016. I even have my calendar being strikes out day by day, countdownla kunun. 

Come Feb, we got another news. All mob-demob of personnel kena freeze due to restructuring exercise throughout the company. Not only we were upset with the postponement, but with the not-so-happy rumors on salary cutting la, vss la, downsizing la etc. Feb was an emotional month for both our careers and family planning. I was sooooo overwhelmed with so many things in my head that i decided to leave Facebook (until today alhamdulillah still sober lol). Deleted fb from my phone. Thats what i did. Walaupun ekceli takde kena mengena pun dengan re-org tu. Kebetulan je. Hehe. Just so happen that i want to clear up my mind (fb ni kadang semak especially bila ada benda viral dan it occupies my mind yg tgh semak masa tu hihi). 

So yeah dari Feb pospon ke Mac. And finallyyyyyyy 19th March my husband finally back in KL like finally. 3x finally tu haha. Kurang beberapa hari je tu genap 4 tahun bermastautin di bumi Turkmenistan huhu. No doubt the country has been good to us, the memories we will forever cherish in our life ❤️

Not even 2 weeks we celebrated his homecoming, the company was vss-ing ppl, moving the staff, trasfer sana transfer sini. Then we heard rumors that my husband’s name was NOT in KL. Say whatttt. I even have the possibility to be transferred outside KL. What will happen to all our 2016 plans and dreams and —–

30th of March, at our airbnb stay in the middle of Tokyo city, we braved ourselves with the news…ie reading his letter of transfer to *drumrolls* Sabah operations. It was such an emotional night for both of us. Terus pk Aaqil camne, i camne, dia camne…after so many yrs being apart…then this happens.

It took us few hours to finally fall asleep and decided to sleep on it haha. Pagi tu macam2 idea keluar – sambil nak bersiap ke Disneyland. Can u imagine our mix of emotions at that time. We were on vacation and dealing w not so good news at the same time. My husband tried his luck to delay the date of mob to Sabah. Pujuk bos la. Riki HR la. But little that we know that not only us facing the sudden news. Some of our close friends been offered w vss. Some others went through the same ordeal as us, ie LDR and most of em w small kids. Alhamdulillah it  took us less than a day to actually digest this news and redha. Acceptance is hard but  thats the only option we have. And make the best of it. Alhamdulillah im still at KL office so its just back to square one. Cuma i no longer stay w my parents that is. New challenge tu. 

Financial-wise, it has been one of the most challenging year. Firstly, we no longer enjoy the international allowance that we hav since 2012. Now we are quite tight up with this ‘new arrangement’ ie we have to impulsely buy a 2nd car, new furnitures for the house at Sabah, monthly rental n expenses, AND the weekly flight ticket KK-KL-KK. Quite a big chunks of RM there. Aaqil was not happy with walid only around during weekends. But thats the best arrangement we can make for him so that it wont be the same as walid-kat-Ashgabat. Inshaallah duit flight tu berbaloi. Nak kira brp habis mmg nangis tapi life goes on. Ini bahagian kami…❤️ at least husben kat kk. Ada kawan tu wife kat bintulu, dia kat kl. Anak 2org kecik2 lg. Bintulu tu ada satu je kot flite pegi balik kl tiap hari. So my fren jaga si kakak, wife jaga baby. Cant imagine of we were in their shoes… Allah uji ikut kemampuan hambaNya…

Despite that,

Allah granted our du’a in front of Kaabah, at haramain, in Raudhah, ie to conceive again. Alhamdulillah. 2 months after my husband transferred to Sabah, we received this big-beyond-happiness news. Allah Maha Kaya. Allah Maha Adil. With me alone w Aaqil and this lil bub inside me, i know that if He get us to this, He will get us through this. My pregnancy so far alhamdulillah no complications. Allah blessed me with energy and redha and sabar. He knows my limit. Ada sorang kawan cakap, bila diuji macam ni, barulah kita rasa sangat pergantungan kita hanya pada Allah, bukan pd manusia…so true!!??

And the pregnancy just became the highlight of my year. All the tears and frustrations during the first quarter of the year seems nothing. Allah is the best planner. He wont give us all. He leave us with a tiny ongoing ujian so that we keep on remember Him. Syukur…

Oh so THAT ??? my fellow readers, are my 2016 roller coaster ride highlights he he. Other than that, in random..

1. We went to Japan(woot!) during sakura blooming – spring in March. Japan is just uhmaaazinggg. We wish to comeback someday he he. Mahal naw naw so kena tunggu tabung Aaqil penuh. Eh ??

2. I dunno how this made to the list but looking at the no of purple boxes growing giv me somewhat therapy hihi. Yes I got dUCk-ed. Like a pregnancy hormones or something. Frankly i’ve once condemned the brand for putting ridiculos price on a scarf. Tapi tak tahan beb. Especially bila tgk cite Love Vivy. Baby nak jgk lol salahkan baby. My fav would be the PB satin silk. N those georgettes. Chiffons pun best. Pendek je la ducktower tu compare ngan hardcore duckies hehe. My next target is their #worldmapduck. Moga berjaya dalam battle itteww?? If u nak try ducks tapi xmo spend too much you can go to ig #duckscarvestoletgo and buy the preloved ones w cheaper price. Tapi premium basics je la. Yg limited ed macam bloomingduck tu harga makin naik adalah sampai almost rm1k selai. Hehe

3. Aaqil been rushed to emergency due to high fever TWICE! Within less than 2mths gap. Sekali bln puasa, lg sekali cuti merdeka. Luckily nothing serious. Only infection so after few hrs under close monitoring he was discharged. And both happened during weekdays so husband wasnt around. Alhamdulillah my dad and lil sister were available to accompany us during those hard times. My family is definitely my strengths.

4. Trip to KK and Kundasang for a week. So happen that Aaqil’s school was closed for whole week during EidAdha+Hari Malaysia so i took leave and spend a week there. Supposed to blog about this but so malas. Later i pwomise.

5. Aaqil needs to wear glasses! I was quite upset when his specialist revealed to us the news. I was in denial. He’s supposed to start wearing ’em in Aug. But i just ignore the prescription letter by the doctor. Suami pun xmo paksa nnt mak buyung marahh hihi. Until in Nov if im not mistaken, I finally told my husband ok lets do this. Power dia tak tinggi sgt pun dlm 75 gtu je. Tapi silau tinggi. We also dont want his squint eyes to recur. We went high and low looking for the most suitable glasses for his age. Yelah budak2 kan lasak, belum pandai jaga barang etc. So MIRAFLEX is the best brand in town. Very practical and comfortable for kids. The frames are made of rubber, comes w more than 20 colors! Cantikk. Cuma downside dia adalah tak byk kedai ada brand ni. We finally found his glasses at a very small optical store at Mydin PV12. So far dah pakai dekat 3wks and he seems okay with it alhamdulillah 

6. One of the sweetest memory for 2016 was ; Aaqil received an award for Best Khalifah in his class during Ihtifal ceremony! Alhamdulillah. Also he is now able to read in Malay. He just started ReadEasy for english few months back. We are forever proud of him regardless. May he continues to excel in both academic n akhlak n a better muslim for sure. Amiin

7. Recently we went for our babymoon(nak jugak) cum roadtrip cum LegoLand trip for year end vacation! SO.MUCH.FUN… Coz we also cramped in our iteneraries with jjcm at JB and Melaka. Bestttt! Later jugak i blog if rajin hihehu

  Our most recent photo – boxing day 2016 ?? Me @ 34wks?

And that my dear, wraps up our 2016. No doubt it has been colorful with lots of love and blessings alhamdulillahhh 

May 2017 brings us more hope, more happiness, more rezeki and better person amiiin! ❤️

Half Way There

In any pregnancy, this is one of the most long awaited and exciting moment — feeling your baby move 🙂 

Masa ‘Aaqil dulu ingat lagi first time rasa “dubb” kat dalam tu masa raya puasa, kat Baling. Masa tu dlm 20-21wks pregnant. Terkejut sebab ehhhhhh. Lepas tu asik tunggu je next kick hehe.

Kali ni dia rasa mild2 je start dari 17wks. Macam bubble gitu. Tak reti pulak identify significant kick. Mungkin sebab bukan 1st pregnancy so kita cepat notice perubahan dalam rahim. Sekarang pun rasa ala2 gelombang. Dan paling obvious malam2 lepas dinner ❤️ 

Alhamdulillah. Moga anak ummi membesar dengan sihat dan kuat dan sempurna segalanya, selamat hingga fullterm, amiin.

Now dah nak masuk 21wks. Will be going for detailed scan end of this month. Nervous pulak rasa. 

Mual2 dah takde. Tapi alahai on off pulak tonsil bengkak, batuk selsema sakit tekak. Doktor bagi antibiotik tapi takmau makan sebab tak berani bila google(well google kata semua xleh). Dont wanna risk anything so i prefer to go natural heal. Tho i still take small dose of pcm sebab kadang dah tak tahan sangat melepek sian kat ‘Aaqil. Ada sekali tu sampai demam panas so pasrah telan pcm. Antibiotik tu i ganti dengan makan Garlic Complex Shaklee. Alhamdulillah 2hari bengkak tonsil surut. Tu yg paling best utk substitute pcm. Thumbs up! Cuma batuk selsema ni bertahan je pantang la air sejuk jap, minum air panas air suam atau honey lemon je. Asalkan tak demam kita tunggu je la dia heal sendiri. Inshaallah…

Selera makan kali ni tak macam masa 1st dulu. Tak mampu lagi nak makan banyak gila. Selera ada tapi masih portion biasa. Terkejut pabila kenyang sebelum waktunya. Eh eh seperti kaciwa pula hehehhehe. Tingin la nak makan lunch dinner lepastu lapar lagi boleh makan desert tapi nan ado. Takpe asalkan baby sihat je ummi ok. Nanti bfeed kita makan banyak2 k ;p

Lagi nak bebel pasal penyakit malas. Saya pregnancy #2 adalah malas. Tapi malas tu takleh dilayan. Oh kalau boleh dilayan memang bahaya. Mujur suami jauh jadi penyakit malas tu tidak terlalu berleluasa dan semakin parah lol. Pastu suka tido lajak2. Padahal belum 3rd tri lagi. Kemon kemon. Alkisah nak tido puas2 nanti nak kena jaga baby tgh malam. Cant imagine those having babies back to back with toddlers some more. Where you guys (i mean mommies) get your energy huh? 

Yang kelakar tu sejak 1st tri dah panic  attack. Buat jadual pagi sampai malam ie mandikan anak2, basuh botol2, basuh bpump, aaqil nak kena makan, baby nak susu, ummi bfeed ni kelaparan kena masak sedap2, siapkan barang skool/nurseri. Mana nak basuh baju sidai baju. Dulu masa ‘Aaqil baby duk umah mak. Mak siap masak, so tinggal melahap makan je. baju pun tinggal lipat je mak n adik2 dah tlg basuh jemur. Sobs. I was so lucky and blessed!

Baby bump? Masih boleh sorok. Masih boleh pakai baju n blouse n skirt prepregnancy. Seluar kije ada 2 helai je masih boleh pakai. Jeans dah kena pakai button extension. I foresee next month kena shopping (yay!) for maternity pants and nursing blouses. Inshaallah…

Ok lah sekian bebelan pabila kerajinan menaip itu datang. Sebagai tatapan di masa depan. Gitew. Till next post.

Bismillah. Yes, Im pregnant again, syukur. 

First trimester just ended today. Phew, alhamdulillah. This time around has been more or less the same macam masa aaqil dulu.

Ada la beza sikit compared to last time terutama sebab kali ni dah takleh manja sangat. Husband is only around during weekends, so…yeah. Let me recap,

– no vomitting syukur. Tapi mual tu normal la. Same cam dulu

– ohoi kali ni takde craving (so far). Cuma ada satu time tu selera nak western je. Imagine nasi berlauk pun boleh memualkan. Scroll ig penuh gambar food pun rasa mual haih

– timing 6 ke 10wks tu masa bulan puasa. So go figure. Penat ngantuk lapar mual semua bersatu. Alhamdulillah Allah beri kekuatan utk puasa penuh. Tapi puasa 6 tak dpt kali ni. Sungguh mencabar itellyou

– syukur juga diberi kekuatan nak buat housechores on weekdays. Aaqil pun dah besar dan faham ummi tak larat. Buat susu sendiri, gi toilet sendiri, mandi sendiri, kemas toys sendiri. Walau kadang kena jd mommymonster haha

– kali ni takleh minum air masak. Rasa mual. Nak air manis dan berperisa je. 

– bab memasak boleh je cuma malas. Takde isu bau tumisan pun cuma isu malas nak masak. Dalam seminggu tu mungkin 2-3x je masak

– bertenaga di hari bekerja tetapi elok suami sampai rumah jumaat malam, terus tetiba nak baring lebih. Lembik. Blame the hormone hihi

– bau kereta masih tak menyenangkan. Stat enjin je terus bukak semua tingkap. Fresh air fresh airrrrr

– bau bilik sendiri yg sangat xbest. Sampai ada satu time tu tukar cadar tilam bantal semua. Tapi sama jurrrrr

– rasa mual bila perut kosong dan bila perut terlampau kenyang. Kena makan tiap 2jam tapi takleh lelebih

– lately selalu pening lebih. Muka pucat. Bibir kering. Bila pregnancy glow nak mai ni ;p

Not whining. Just my notes for future. We are beyond happy with this pregnancy. Waited for years (plus we were and still on long distance). Thank you Allah for this miracle. Buku merah dah buat minggu lepas hihi. Milestone!

Nah belanja satu gambar… 
 

Ultrasound scan at 12wks☺️ #abangsikatbelahtepi

Do make du’a for us. May Allah protect the baby(and us) and bless this journey ❤️

Sakura Hanami

Alhamdulillah we experienced the magnificent view of sakura during our visit to Japan last March!

Saya pakai hashtag #krashkozzjapan kat ig sebab imagine kitorang pergi Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo dalam masa 6 hari! Selain dari nak merasa naik shinkansen, tujuan utama ke sini mestilah nak sakura viewing(hanami) hihi.

Gambar iPhone tak secantik Samsung tapi jadilah kan daripada takde ;p

1. Shirakawa-Minami Dori   Ni tgh kelaparan mencari ramen halal dalam hujan renyai2.  Hihi. Dekat dgn restoran tu, Gion Naritaya, ramen sedap, yakiniku sedap, wagyu beef sedap, chicken karage sedap. Haih. 

Ni masa dah kenyang perut senang hati. Tepi tu ada sungai omg cantik gila pls?

2. Kyoto Imperial Park   Elok sampai je sini, hujan turun dengan lebatnya. Setengah jam jugak berteduh kat salah satu shrine.
  Masa ni Kyoto baru nak bloom sakura nya. So dalam sebesar2 park tu tak banyak sakura tree yg fullbloom. So ramai kerumun pokok sakura ni. Comel je

3. Sagano Romantic Train
  

4. Shinjuku Gyoen Park
Park ni dalam 5-10minit jalan kaki dari JR Shinjuku station. Kalau nak solat, boleh singgah kat Takashimaya Square Mall, dlm 5minit je jalan dari park. Ada musolla kecik kat situ.
    Sambil suami hantar ‘Aaqil yakyak, saya selfie jap. Kitorang sempat berpiknik makan roti Gardenia cicah kuah Brahims kat sini. Berlapikkan disposable raincoat #sebabtujeyangada #seriustaktipu

5. Ueno Park
 Ini adalah tempat yg paling best kalau nak sakura hanami/viewing. Melaut-laut sakuranya. Sama macam pengunjungnya. Masa kitorang pergi tu agak sesak dengan manusia. Tapi berbaloi sesangat sebab foc je takyah bayar. Dalam park ni jugak ada Ueno Zoo tapi kitorang tak pergi la. Lokasi pun senang sebab dekat je dgn stesen Ueno (JR Yamanote line). 

Istimewanya Sakura ni dia bloom kejaaaap je. Lepastu ada jadual dia. Kalau seantero Jepun tu, ada date bloom utk setiap prefecture(bandar). Tempoh antara Mac-Apr.  

 So kalau uols nak tgk Sakura, pastikan cek dulu kalendar Sakura sebelum beli tiket atau sebelum siapkan itenerari. 

Goodluck! ?

Nak Baby

Lama dah tak cite pasal ‘Aaqil. Dah 4 tahun dah pun Januari lepas. Oh panjang akal sangat. Sekarang ni dalam pada semua benda nak buat sendiri, ada lagi rengek “nak ummmiiii..” dia tu. Dah boleh mandi sendiri, cebok yakyak sendiri, buat susu sendiri, basuh pinggan mangkuk periuk pun nak buat sendiri. Kadang stress sebab bila dia buat sure tertumpah la, terbanjir air la, becak la toilet. Hmm. So kena very close monitoring lagi.

Sooo memandangkan dah fefeeling besar, sejak beberapa minggu lepas ‘Aaqil suruh panggil dia ‘abang’ hashtagnoimnotpregnantyet. Haha. Lepastu asik sebut nak baby ummi nak baby ‘Aaqil. Maksudnya nak adik lah. Sebab dia memang nampak boring la main sorang2. Walid pun takde. Ummi asik buat housechores (macam bz sgt). Pastu bila balik rumah atok wan dia Nampak la dia seronok ramai orang dan kazen. Dia selalu cakap ‘Aaqil suka ramai-ramai… T_T
So semalam dia repeat lagi nak baby. Alang-alang Ummi pun tanya lah,

Me : ‘Aaqil nak baby berapa orang?

‘Aaqil : Nak tiga lah ummi. Nak one 4yrs old, one 4yrs old, one 3yrs old.

Haha! Siyes ni main order je kan. Pagi tadi pun tanya soalan sama jawapan tetap sama ie 2 org 4yrs old, sorang 3yrs old. LOL!  

 Moga Allah perkenankan doa ‘Aaqil ummi dan walid untuk dapat baby yang ramai ya. Amiiinnnnnn

Memori Umrah (21-31 Dis 2015) part 2

Posted on by
1

Bagi saya dan suami ini merupakan umrah pertama dan dipanggil umrah wajib. Maksudnya umrah ni takboleh dibuat dihadiahkan/diniatkan utk orang lain. Dah setel yang ini baru boleh umrah utk orang. Kalau ikut kursus yg saya pergi tu,1. Hadiahkan untuk mereka yang telah meninggal dunia ataupun mereka yg sakit tenat yakni memang tak dapat la buat sendiri. Paling afdhal hadiah untuk parents.

2. Untuk satu umrah tu boleh hadiah untuk sekali ramai. Lepas tahallul tu, lafazkan dengan ini saya hadiahkan umrah ini untuk xxxxxx kerana Allah taala.

Ok so anywayyyy. Dah siap breakfast semua kami pun turun ke lobi dengan group kami. Mutawif kami namanya Ustaz Abd Rahman, asal Indonesia dah berpuluh tahun tinggal di sana. Dari hotel ke Masjidil Haram boleh berjalan kaki sahaja tak sampai 50meter. So niat kan dah setel masa kat miqat kan. Berjalan lah kami ke Kaabah untuk mulakan rukun ke-2, TAWAF tujuh pusingan keliling Kaabah.

Pertama kali nampak Kaabah, rasa naik bulu roma. Sampai masa menaip ni pun rasa bergenang airmata. Perasaan yang tak sama macam nampak Eiffel, Big Ben, Disneyland. Rasa yang lebih hebat dari itu. Kami baca doa yang ada dlm buku panduan Umrah – – – doa melihat Kaabah. Kami dibawa mutawif untuk melakukan tawaf. Bermula dari penjuru Hajarul Aswad, keliling 7 pusingan. jemaah sangat ramai jadi kami kena pegang each other. Walid pulak dukung ‘Aaqil. Plan asal nak pimpin ‘Aaqil kat tengah tapi subhanallah ramainya manusia, suami kena dukung juga ‘Aaqil. Kena pastikan bahu kiri menghadap Kaabah. Kalau terpaling, kena repeat pusingan tersebut. Sebabtu susah sikit kalau pimpin tangan anak sebab katalah terlepas, kita takleh toleh ke belakang dsbg. Bacaan pula terpulang masing2. Tapi untuk pertama kali ni kami ikut mutawif. Mutawif ikut doa dalam buku panduan umrah. Sepanjang tawaf kena dalam keadaan berwudhu’. So kalau terlepas angin tu kena la keluar, berwudhu’ dan repeat pusingan tersebut. Purata nak complete tawaf dalam pace yang normal adalah satu jam. Kami mula tawaf kalau tak silap jam. Oh ya, di penjuru ke 3, dinamakan penjuru Yamani yakni penjuru sebelum Hajarul Aswad, menurut riwayat ada beribu-ribu malaikat yang mengaminkan doa. Maka bila lalu kat sini, doalah apa2 yang dihajatkan paling utama mohon diampunkan dosa diajuhkan dari Neraka dan diberi kebahagiaan hidup dunia akhirat. Bila sampai ke pusingan baru, lambaikan tangan ke Hajarul Aswad dan beristilam (kucup tangan dan lafaz bismillahiallahuakbarwalillahilhamd).

Alhamdulillah habiiiis je 7 pusingan kami minum air zamzam sambil memandang Kaabah. Kemudian tunaikan solat sunat tawaf. ‘Aaqil alhamdulillah suka sangat dengan ‘aktiviti’ ni. Enjoy sesangat esp bab istilam dan minum air zamzam hehehe.

Next rukun — SAI’E! Dari kawasan Kaabah nak ke bukit Safa dalam beberapa minit sahaja berjalan kaki. Tak terasa pun sebab lalu kawasan masjid je. Haaa ni pun ‘Aaqil berdukung. Mula2 tu nak la berjalan. Paling fav dia masa kena lari anak kat lampu hijau hehe. Last2 suami kena juga dukung dia. Cian jetlag pun tak habis lagi ye nak 😉 Permulaan Sai’e adalah berdiri atas bukit mengadap Kaabah dan baca doa. Kemudian mulalah berjalan dari Safa ke Marwah. 7x jadi mula di Safa, berakhir di Marwah. Sai’e ni tak perlu berwudhu’ pun. Dan tiada syarat spesifik so just jalan seperti biasa ke arah hadapan. Jangan mengundur pulak hiks.
Selesai Sai’e, baca doa lagi dan di bukit Marwah tu, lakukan Tahallul, rukun yang terakhir. Tahallul tu apa? Gunting rambut 3 helai sambil pegang rambut tu, baca doa dan gunting. Biasanya mutawif buatkan yang Jemaah lelaki dan kemudian yg family/spouse lelaki guntingkan rambut yang perempuan. Maka selesailah UMRAH WAJIB kami yang pertama!! Moga Allah terima ibadah dan doa kami. So basically nak completekan satu umrah dalam 2 jam sahaja minus niat di miqat. Sebab kami mula tawaf dalam jam 11pg. Selesai Tahallul jam 1pm camtu. Kejap je. Yang terasa lama tu sebab dari niat kat miqat sampai nak ke tawaf tu makan masa hamper 12jam atas urusan imigresen, perjalanan ke hotel, makan2 dsbg. Umrah yang seterusnya kami bermiqat di tempat yang lebih dekat dgn Masjidilharam jadi kalau keluar jam 9pg, mungkin 3-4 jam lepastu dah boleh settle Umrah 🙂

Apapun, tersangat rasa bersyukur atas rezeki yg Allah berikan sepanjang kami beribadah di sana. Rezeki kesihatan kerana alhamdulillah paling teruk pun batuk je takde yg demam dsbg , rezeki kelapangan masa kerana kami pergi tu kerja di ofis slow down sebab baru habis appraisal hihi, Allah beri rezeki lebih sikit untuk stay di hotel yang dekat dgn Masjidilharam. Jadi segalanya mudah ie nak ke toilet yg selesa, nak ulang alik solat Jemaah tiap waktu, nak balik makan, mall pun kat bawah je kalau nak beli apa2, dan paling utama rezeki dapat bawa my parents sekali at least sekali seumur hidup mereka dan ketika mereka masih sihat dan kuat. All praise is due to Allah. ALHAMDULILLAH.
Meh kongsi beberapa gambar kami ketika di sana 🙂

Esoknya pagi2 kami ada ziarah luar Mekah ie Jabal Rahmah, Jabal Thur, Jabal Nur, Mina, Arafah dan sekaligus bermiqat di Masjid Ja’ronah (jarak 20mins naik bas) untuk umrah yang ke-2. Umrah yang ketiga pula miqat di Masjid Hudaibiyah (jarak 30mins naik bas).

Ok2… nanti saya sambung lagi ya hehe

Memori Umrah (21-31 Dis 2015) part 1

Tahukah anda perasaan rindu kepada Haramain tu sukar digambarkan. Alangkan belum sampai pun boleh rasa rindu, inikan pula bila dah jejak kaki ke sana. Saya ambil masa berbulan untuk hilangkan rasa rindu yg kuat tu. Perasaan tu macam jadi sebak bila teringat, tiap kali solat nak bayangkan kaabah depan mata, that kind of feeling. Yang buat bertambah sebak sebab mungkin saya ke sana dgn mak abah, orang yg paling saya sayang dan betapa bahagia bila mereka dapat ikut ke sana sekali 🙂  
Plan asal nak pergi bulan Nov. Tapi memandangkan suami tak dapat bercuti, so postpone la sebulan. Alhamdulillah tarikh utk Disember tu still ada cuma masuk Mekah dahulu. Tak ramai kenalan dan family saya yang berpakaian ihram dari Malaysia jadi saspen juga. TIPS, jika kita rasa mudah maka akan mudahlah ia. Allah menurut sangkaan hambaNya kan. Jadi think positive je jangan fikir susah etc.  

Siapa sangka kami para Jemaah diuji seawal kami di KLIA! Flite sepatutnya jam 10pagi. Lepastu masa taklimat kat KLIA, diberitakan yang flite tunda ke 12tghari. Ok la takpe lagi. Lagi sejam nak fly tu, kami pun pergi ke boarding gate. Masuk dalam kapalterbang. Tapi tak fly2. Kami diminta turun dari flite dan rupanya kapalterbang tu ada masalah teknikal. Fuh menguji kesabaran jugak. Cuma mujur masih di Malaysia. Sebab kami ada dengar ujian kat imigresen Jeddah lagi seksa. Ni macam intro la kira huhu. 

Tak lama kemudian pegawai TH kata flight bakal berlepas jam 8 malam. Ya, 8 MALAM. Masa tu baru pukul 2ptg mcmtu. MAS sebagai ganti akan beri kupon lunch, hotel untuk mandi2 rehat2 dan dinner. So para Jemaah ni pun berpusu la ke restoran utk pakai kupon lunch tu. Tak silap kat Burger King dgn satu kedai noodle ni je boleh redeem lunch. Punyalah ramai beratur. Sebab kiranya satu flight tu kan.

Lepas lunch, naik bas ke hotel (area Sepang), amik kunci bilik, mandi2 dan dinner. Kesian tgk muka masing2 macam letih berpusing2 dlm negara sendiri. Hihi. Yang lawak tu kami hantar la gambar dah sampai bilik hotel kat whatsapp group family. Mereka ingat kami dah sampai Mekah dah. Ha ha. ‘Aaqil pun bila sampai hotel tu dia kata ummi kita dah sampai Dubai ke. Pulokkk T_T

  
Alhamdulillah akhirnya kami berlepas juga jam 8malam ke Jeddah. Penantian yang sangat menguji. Permulaan ibadah umrah kami yang sangat menarik dan sukar dilupakan.

Sepanjang atas flight saya tgk tak ramai Jemaah yang bukak inflight entertainment hihi. Mungkin sebab penat sgt menunggu dari Subuh, nak isya’ baru boleh naik plane masing2 dah terlelap. Ada yang ulangkaji rukun umrah dan doa2. Termasuklah saya. ‘Aaqil Alhamdulillah happy je. Dia sorang je yang tgk movie gamaknya. Dalam gelap lak tu haha. Makan pun elok. Lepas tu tidur. 2 jam sebelum mendarat, ketua agama TH (ustaz) buat taklimat sikit. Ingatkan Jemaah terutama muslimin (sebab tak boleh pakai pakaian berjahit/tutup kepala etc) untuk berpakaian ihram dan baca bersama niat ihram. Jika anda masuk Mekah dahulu, miqat adalah di Qarnul Manazil yakni 1-2jam sebelum mendarat di Jeddah. TIPS, kalau Jemaah lelaki tu takpe je nak pakai ihram belah bawah sahaja kemudian jubah diluar. Sebelum niat ihram, kena cabut la apa yg patut kemudian pakai ihram belah atas.
Tak dapat dinafikan lepas niat ihram tu debaran dia lain macam. Bermulalah pantang larang ihram hingga lah lengkap rukun umrah. Niat – Tawaf – Sai’e – Tahallul – Tertib. Kalau perempuan debar dia lebih kepada rambut yg gugur/tercabut. Saya ni pulak ada habit pelik suka cabut rambut dan Tarik rambut gugur. So memang kena bertahan la rambut gatal ke apa. TIPS adalah jangan cari rambut gugur kat baju ke inner ke serkup ke. Atau garu/sikat rambut beriya.

Touch down dalam kul 12tghmalam waktu Jeddah. Macam zombie masing2. Beza tau touchdown pergi cuti2 dgn touchdown Umrah. Rasa rendah diri sangat dpt jejak kaki ke Jeddah. Baru airport ni wei. Lagi bertambah sayu ni sebab masing2 berpakaian putih bersih nak menjadi tetamu Allah.
  
Dekat 5 jam jugak tunggu nak clear imigresen. Jeddah airport ni takde sistem yang teratur. Line q pun takde. Jadi ikut dan je lah. Masa flight kitorang sampai tu ada lagi 2-3 flight lagi serentak. ‘Aaqil alhamdulillah tak meragam sebab dah puas tidur agaknya.
Ambil beg semua dan naik bas untuk ke Tanah Haram, Makkatul Mukarramah. Perjalanan mengambil masa sejam lebih kurang. Sempat singgah Subuh di masjid tepi jalan. Oh bila mutawwif tu announce je “Kita dah masuk Tanah Haram…” perasaan sebak tu sukar digambarkan.
 Rasa macam mimpi jadi kenyataan dapat jejak tempat di mana Rasulullah pernah suatu ketika dahulu terima wahyu dan berdakwah, tempat dimana Islam bermula, perit jerih perjuangan Rasul dan sahabat membangunkan Islam. Masa sampai tu fajar baru menyinsing. Kami terus ke Hotel Movenpick, check in bilik, makan breakfast dan kemudian turun ke lobi untuk Umrah yang pertama :):)

Ewah!

Ada kawan tanya saya cuti panjang pergi mana. Bila cakap pergi Dubai terus dia kata eh bukan dah banyak kali ke pergi. Saya jawab “aah…sebab suka..”. Haha. Tapi selain daripada sebab suka, tapi sebab tu adalah flight yang paling murah dari Ashgabat. Imagine kami 3 beranak cuma USD300 je return ASB-DXB. Sambal menyelam minum air lah. Janganlah pergi Dubai je. Kena bijak plan supaya dapat pergi ke tempat yang tak pernah pergi juga…
