UK Family Trip 2016-What happen.

Hiiiii.
This is Nik coming in.

This post will not be about tips and me putting all the infos that I want to share about my trip but it will be more about story telling time.

At the beginning of this year, my sister said that she will be having a graduation ceremony in London and hoping that all of us can attend and also at the same time have our family trip.

Seriously, we start talking about this since January or last year. Im not sure.

We sort out everything and came up with a rough budget on how much will it cost each person.
I was the one who calculated every single thing.

How much will it cost if there's 13 people (this is all of us) then
how much will it cost if there only 9 people, 8 people and finally 7 people.

Only 7 of us end up going.
due to budget.

eventhough it will be merrier if all us went but some other things are way more important than travelling 10 000km away from home.

After finalizing on how many people are going, we bought the flight ticket and then we start to plan our route from there.

IT IS NOT EASY.

It is not easy NOT because it is hard to go around in the UK ,
it is more to making sure that we have proper place to pray, enough time to rest and my parents will not get tired.

Ouh yeah. The people who went to the UK are my parents, my sisters, two of my teenagers cousin and I.

Whenever we move, or where ever went, we always think about.
What if mama gets tired. What if papa got sick. Where can we perform our prayer comfortably and so on.

I will be sharing my schedule later in another post.
For now, lets look on the bright and fun side.

We went to the UK to attend my sisters' graduation and went to the cities other than London because we never done that before.
Many have said that, going outside of London is better than staying inside London.

I personally still thinks that I like London, I dont why. But I have to admit it is much calmer going outside of London. Less traffic, less crowded.

In 2014, I went to London, when I got back, I had a chit chat with my lecturer who has British citizenship. I said to him.
"I dont understand why my parents like taking the bus than the train"
then he replied
" It is better!"
and I said, "No, its not. Its so slow"

Now, its 2016. I am two years older and matured. hahaha
I have to say taking the bus is better than the train.

If you really just wanna relax the bus is the best.
You dont actually have to change bus unlike train where you have change according to the "line" that you have to take if necessary.

It takes us 45 min to arrive to my sister's graduation hall by bus but only 18 mins if we took the train. but we have to change it.
We dont feel like the bus ride was 45mins at all. because we are busy looking around. Rest and relax.

So if you are tourist and you wanna relax OR you have older people that cannot run here and there as much as a young person can, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE THE BUS.

I have changed so many of my perception towards UK. The people and the place. You cannot judge UK just by ONE visit. It changes every time you go.

At the end of the day, I still love Malaysia but still wanna go to UK. Insya Allah. I can and I will.
Well, sapa je taknak travel kan.

EXP Broga-part 2(Fajr at Broga)

This is Nik, comin in ..................................... over. beeeeeeeeeep

peek-a-boo. I made it to the top.  Alhamdullilah.

Assalamualaikum readers.
In this part Im going to share my experience and tips after my first ever "solat darurat" ats bukit
tapi takder la darurat sangat

okey. since Im a newbies in hiking, and most of us are. we took an hour to reach the first peak.

6.40 am , kitaorg tak sampai lagi peak pertama.aku dah cuak coz, kalau kat normal darat, syuruk pukul 7, kalau atas bukit mesti lagi cepat kan.

itu pasal, in the first part I wrote. It was a mistake for us not to pray before we start hiking, coz waktu start nak naik tu dah subuh dah.
so people, plan ur time wisely.make sure u prioritize the one that is important first.
but still, kalau boleh, bertolak la awal, so that korang boleh solat dekat atas bukit, kalau tak kurang la #umph dier. just a suggestion though.

The moment I reached the first peak, ader dua line jemaah tgh solat tapi dah rakaat terakhir, so tak sempat la join dgn tak berwudhunyer lg
aku jadi sangat2 kalut sebab aku tak pernah berada dalam situasi sebegini, so aku mcm
"mana nak amek air sembahyang"
"mana nak sembahyang"
"sapa nak teman"

waktu2 macam ni la, ilmu pasai agama hang, diuji. malu tau tak kalau tak tahu cara beristinjak,tayamum and so on. mcam aku......err bukan tak tahu,tak pasti.samar2.huhu

POINT
1-bila time2 cenggini. its better not to wait for other people IF OTHER people is making uolls lengah2 kan waktu solat.kalau mampu buat, BUAT.
2-Jangan nak kata penat la, kalau dah naik sampai ke atas. (alasan seperti ini, orangnyer layak ditolak, jatuh guling2 dari puncak bukit. seyes)
3-if u gotta do it alone, then just do it.
4-tak kisah laaa... kena tinggal ke apa. asalkn yg wajib buat.

continue
so, I took my ablution then took out my shirt, which I prepared if anything happen to the one Im wearing,and make it as sejadah.
prayed at celah2 batu. with the view of the entire Semenyih.
AMAZING.

kan aku kata aku kurang ilmu, kurang experience pun yer. the thing that I did wrong was, I prayed with my shoes on. -_-.
hanya mampu mohon Allah terima solat ku waktu ku jahil ni jer. -_-
tapi kalau aku buka, pon ader masalah. my socks was too short, if I sit down, my ankle will be exposed, ini aderla lagi satu benda aku belaja. PAKAI STOKIN PANJANG SIKIT lain kali. haih.

so peeps. WEAR CLOTHES THT YOU CAN directly use TO PRAY. what I wore was, hijab tht cover my chest.loose clothes and to cover up my arm, I wore UNIQLO jaket,where there is a place to put ur thumb so that the sleeves will not move.

sumber google: some sort mcm ni laaa. tapi aku tak pakai gloves, tempat sarung ibu jari tu memang dah ader dkt sleeves jacket tu. kalau tak pernah jumpa, pergi la UNIQLO. hohoho.

done solat. continue having fun.
serious talk, you will never understand the feeling of menadah tangan dan berdoa lepas solat kat ats bukit/gunung unless u do it.
another thing is, bila dah solat dlm keadaan kurang sempurna daripada biasa, usually u will feel more kusyuk and by that moment you will say to urself,
"Im praying for Allah because of Allah and not coz its my daily routine"

so seek for adventure. it is never a waste of time.this post is just for friendly gestures for me to share my experience

This is Nik Camelia Al Haded, prayed on a river bank and on top of a hill but still want to explore more experience of "solat darurat" hehe

over and out.

p.s: did you know that 60% of muslims in Malaysia TAK solat 5 waktu, as in tak lengkap. so dear brothers and sisters, please be in the 40% and lets together work hard to reduce the number of people who are not praying 5 times a day.lets make 100% Muslims in Malaysia prays. :)
