Barakallah

So many things going on lately, that I can''t find even a minute to post a new entry. Busy with work at the office, family weddings, being an awesome buddy, being an obedient daughter, being a dedicated worker (errrrr betul tak bos?), being so many things.

Yet, I am grateful for I am still here.

Writing stuff happened in my life.

Live life. Inhale the fresh air. Get to meet my loved ones (I love you dear)

On March 12, marks the solemnization of my beloved elder sister, kaklong. Right after that on the afternoon, people flocks in to the wedding reception at CAC banquet hall in IIUM. I fell deeply in love with the grand hall, especially the decoration of the pelamin, with all the pink and white roses. Got me mesmerized for seconds. I guess I was right when introducing the designer, Hazree Wahid to my mom.

We had a double wedding on that day, makes that 2 brides and 2 grooms celebrating the most wonderful moment of their lives (feels like crying, really, don't ask why). So, who's next? Hahahahaha.

 The hall reminds me of old interior from France, Italy, somewhere there. Maybe the lights, maybe the dining table, maybe the composition of the photo itself.

 Isn't this just lovely?

 My sister and hubby. May you have a blessed life along the way.

My beloved brother and his dearest.

بارك الله لكما وبارك عليكما
وجمع بينكما في خير
بارك الله لكما وبارك عليكما

وجمع بينكما في خير

So, what is happening in your life lately? Share with me.

Till then, good day people.

Beijing

Forbidden City. It has four entrance, each is made for different level of people (according to Chinese interpretation)

This place is called Summer Palace. Did you see the water has become ice? The temperature is -6. I love this place, it is so serene.

This is the oldest mosque in Beijing. The name is Niu Jie Mosque, believed to have been around since year 996, but later was reconstructed.

I think this is similar to slum housing area. This can be seen when you're on top of the Great Wall of China. I think it is somewhat cool to live in a house near one of the seven wonders of the world.

The signage with translation, which is very convenient for non-Chinese tourists.

Climbing the Great Wall of China. It takes lots of stamina.

A day at Snow World. Get ready to fall down many times.

Although the people speak no English, Beijing trip was fun. Speak with body language, that is all it takes. The city is indeed very very big, explains the number of populations. And I noticed the roads are very large, each lines are wide. On working days, the traffics are bad. Really bad it slows everything down. And because I was here during winter, man it is freezing cold. I think it is colder as compared to my winter trip to Seoul, Korea last two years. But too bad, the snow isn't falling when I was in Beijing.

So yeah the tourist guide, his name is Ah Liang who happened to be a localman with a high proficiency of Indonesian language, takes us to many places of interest famous among tourists. To name a few, Forbidden City, Ti An Men Square, Great Wall of China, Summer Palace, Snow World, Niu Jie Mosque and a few others. We moved by a coach and later walk during arrival at these places. My most favorite place would be Summer Palace. An imperial garden with Chinese architecture. The place gives me some sort of calm feeling. And not to forget, The Great Wall which is very very long you can't possibly finished walking on it in one day. I've been to one of the seven wonders of the world. One down, six more to go? InsyaAllah.

What about the food? I love Beijing Muslim food, it is somewhat almost similar to Malaysian cooking. Most of the food are fried. Fried eggs, fried vegetables. But tell you what, in most meals, 7 out of the 10 dishes served are veges. It's true, no bluffing. So if you're not so fond of veges, screw it. You might end up eating rice with only fried eggs. Hahaha.
