A trip well-ended alhamdulillah..

Assalamualaikum..

How are you guys doing? Hope all of you are in the greatest of health in-syaAllah. As for me, alhamdulillah I am fine. 20 minutes ago, 3 of my friends from UK, Pojoe of Notts, Bojol of Warwick and Aiman of IC just got into a cab and went to the airport as their flight to London is scheduled to be at 805 am. For the whole week, we had had a very great time together with my other friends, Azmir of Warwick, Si Anip and Zul of Cork, Adilla, Hani and Zawani of Galway, Shila of Dublin, Lion and Yatt of..err..korang kat mana ar? :P We went to a trip around the Ireland, mainly to Dublin, Cork and Galway.

I had been very busy after the Hilary Term exam. Not really doing something really beneficial, but well, just giving myself somethings as a relaxation. By submitting my spotter test answer sheet to the demonstrator at 1030 am, 16th March 2005, the exam ended with a slight relief. Maybe not because of the I-think-the-paper-was-not-very-bad mentality, perhaps only because the exam was over, that's all.

On the 19th, there was an event held by PPIMI(Cuti-cuti Musim Bunga a.k.a CCMB). 1st event called Islam Ceria. An inter-dublin universities(UCD, TCD, DBS and RCSI) quiz about Islam. I was one of the participants representing TCD. We didn't make it through the final though. Then there were workshops; Learn to speak Arabic, bakery, literature and Tajwid. Went for the Arabic, bakery and the Tajwid workshops. LAter that evening was a play by the RCSI students entitled "Mencari Jalan Pulang". Was a very great play. Went home at about 9 something pm.

Next day was paintball day!! 1st timer nii!! Best gile main paintball. But I felt really bad because most of my friends had injuries all over their bodies due to the speeding pellets hit them while I had no injuries at all except for some scratches. What really made me sad was that I just realised that I still don't have the spirit of fighting for the team's goal. I'd rather save myself and my bullets rather than 'charge and die'. Can I defend my faith and my religion, when I can't even dare to let myself being hit by the paint pellets? Hmm..

On Monday and Tuesday, went to the ETOC a.k.a End The Occupation Conference organised by FOSIS and Islamic Human Right Commision. I was one of the delegates. Cheh, bunyi gempak jek, padahal gi dengar jek. Eheh :P There were Masooud Shadjareh, Carlo Nero, Imam Mohammad al-Asi, even Yvonne Ridley who was captured by the Taliban during the occupation of US upon Afghanistan.

Later that Tuesday, went straight to the airport to pick up Azmir, Aiman, Pojoe and Bojol. Their flight was delayed so I expected to see them at about 1030 pm. Reached the airport at 950 pm, I sat under the escalator where it was quite dim-lighted and less people sitting on the bench there. Fell asleep. Heh. Realised someone was approaching, opened my eyes and saw Aiman and Pojoe in front of me. Luckily they found me or all of us will spend the rest of the night at the airport. Hehe. Took a van cab back to 39, Mount Drummond Square.

Next day, went to Powerscourt's House and Waterfall. Both are in County Wicklow. We went there with some of the girls. One hour travel by bus to Powerscourt's House and at 2 pm, we walked all the way to the waterfall which is about at least 5 km from the House. Yes, we walked! 1 and a half hour later we got there. Alhamdulillah our hard efforts were really paid off. Tempat tuh, subhanallah cantik betol!! Hilang semua penat2. Solat Asar kat situ, sangat la terasa kebesaran Allah. Terasa kekerdilan dan kelemahan diri nih. Moga keinsafan terus hadir dalam diri dan hati nih in-syaAllah. Balik naik bas la kan. Then singgah rumah our seniors. MAkannn!!! Balik umah semua terbongkang, letih woo!!

Khamis, packing up. Cork here we come!! Pagi tuh kuar ngan Azmir gi beli tiket bas. Cadang nak breakfast ngan sorang lagi member dak Dublin, tapi dia pon bangun lewat daa. Maka aku bawak la Azmir masuk TCD, tengok2, amik gambar, jalan2 city. Jumpa kawan Azmir. Then balik umah sampai dalam kul 10 lebih. Cepat2 kemas, then kul 1 amik bas gi Busaras. Naik kul 2 and sampai Cork kul 7 lebih. Si Anip ngan Zul dah tunggu.

Jumaat. Gi jalan2 city then solat Jumaat. Lepas solat, gerak gi Blarney Castle. Amik bas kul 4. Sampai dalam kul 430 pm. Orait la tempat tuh. Tengok la gambar kalo tak caye. Balik kul 6. Sampai umah, solat then semua terbongkang lagi.

Sabtu. Kuar agak awal sebab nak gi Fota. Fota nih nama tempat. Kat situ ade Wildlife Park. Kire ala2 zoo la. Sangat best. Sebbaik tak terpengaruh ngan kata2 beberapa orang member yang kata tempat tuh bosan. Best jek. Apa la korang. Kul 1 lebih gerak balik sebab nak gi Galway plak. Nak kejar bas kul 325 petang. Alhamdulillah sempat. Sampai Galway dalam kul 6 lebih. Adilla ngan Hani amik and gi makan kat umah diorang. Then amik cab gi umah Zawani.

Ahad. Kuar awal pagi jugak. Sebab nak gi Cliff of Moher. Travel using one of the travel agent. Cliff sangat la cantik. Subhanallah, skali lagi sangat terasa kekuasaan Allah dan kerdilnya diri nih. Kat sini tak bape banyak bergambar sebab tak bape sehat satu hari. Flu attack plak dah. Memang hilang mood sket. Tapi takpe, in-syaAllah menjadi kafarah dosa...Malam tuh pegi umah Dilla lagi, makan lasagna. Sementara diorang buat tuh, dak2 nih main ape ntah. Aku tido je la, tak sehat kan. Balik jalan kaki ke rumah Zawani.

Isnin. Pegi ke Salthill. Tempat tuh ialah tepi pantai sebenarnye. So sangat la indahnya. Alhamdulillah haritu pon sangat cerah. Cam biase, aku amik gamba scenery bebanyak, sampai abih memory capacity kamera aku. Huhu. Dalam 230 petang tuh jalan balik. Siap2 nak balik Dublin. Cadangnya nak amik bas kul 530, tapi aku telah menyusahkan semua orang sebab aku leka main game. So terlepas bas kul 530 and terpaksa tunggu bas kul 630. Sori korang!! Huhu..perjalanan amik masa dalam 4 jam. Sampai umah 10 lebih.

Selasa. Jalan2 Dublin. Bawak diorang nih gi city and jumpa kawan Bojol and Pojoe; Ja ngan Ely. Petang tuh gi makan. Then malam tuh gi makan lagi kat umah Lan Helmy. Wahaha!! Sesat tak jumpe umah dia. Tak penah pegi la katakan.

Skang nih kat umah aku ade Si Anip, Nik ngan Ngocop. Hmm..at least tak la sunyi sangat. Tapi maybe Khamis nih Ngocop nak balik Newcastle dah. Kembali la rumah nih kepada keadaan asal. Dengar kata dak2 UK ramai betol gi Paris cuti Easter nih. Huhu. Enjoy la korang. Jangan lupe diri dah la ye?

Ucapan terima kasih dan jazakumullahu khairan kathira kepada semua2 yang telah memberi layanan yang sangat superb kepada kami2 ini(Zul, Si Anip, Zawani, Dilla, Hani dan lain2) sebab kalo tak, sure trip nih sangat la tak bestnye. Yang bestnye trip nih sebenarnye ialah kite dapat sama2 kumpul balik and jumpe and buat aktiviti same2. Moga lenkali dapat gi trip gini lagi. Maybe tempat lain la plak kot? In-syaAllah.

Ok aku rasa takat nih je la kot. Panjang sangat kang tak larat korang nak baca kang. Segala salah dan silap tuh adalah di atas kelemahan diri aku, mohon maaf dan ampun kepada korang2 yang datang dari UK, and yang terlibat ngan trip ni kalo ade aku terkasor bahase ke, ter'menyusah'kan korang ke. Maaf sangat2..Moga tautan ukhuwah nih makin kukuh and terikat dengan nama Allah in-syaAllah.

Wallahu a'lam

Wassalam.
