safely back home......

ok..........parents are safely back home after their 2 weeks trip to perform their umrah with mum having sore throat and loose her voice and dad, well let's just say that he was bald there.,........hehehehehe.........they went there with my aunt julina and also uncle shah.......... this is their second time for them to perform such holy occasion......... as for me, well, let's just say let the others go first......hehehehe..........
so their trip started from kl heading to cairo in egypt where they've spent for 2 days and a nite there........... they went to the following places:
  1. pyramids
  2. sphinx
  3. taking a cruise on the nile river whilst having their dinner there
  4. went to see the museums where there are mummies and also ancient stuffs
  5. visited imam shafie's tomb

parents said that their airport sux........klia is much more advanced if compared to them and also that their system really really slows down the traffic.........so no wonder there are always flight delays from egypt........hahahahaha............even the facilities there are terrible and overheard their major industry there is tourism.......but they said that it is a good experience though..........and i was like.......hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........interesting..............it is not just the airport, it is the whole country even their society is still in midst of rising up.........well, dunno what's so fuss bout these egyptians........whenever they come to other countries, their ego are above the pagar........

so from egypt they went straight to makkah where they stayed there for like 5-6 days........ apparently, after the hajj season, the arab government have decided to deconstruct 1500 buildings around the the mosque so that they can build a spacious place for people to perform their prayers and all..........so mum said it was very hazy and very dusty............you just name it, hotels, shops, police stations even the king's palace, yes the king's palace which is located beside the the pity thing is that they had to walk 800meters to the mosque as that is the nearest hotel to the mosque.........so u do the calculation, 800meters one way x 2 ways x 5 times = more or less 6 km per day............hmmmmmmmmm..........exercising and also noble..........think bout it.......hehehehe..............dad said that makkah was very hot in terms of the weather and it is dry..........

from makkah, they went to madinah and stayed there for 6 days and then from there, they took a flight back to cairo............they transit there for like 6 hours.........mum said that the egypt air even took the initative to ensure that the passengers are being well taken of that they even provide meals to the passengers on a luxury restaurant.......... 2 busses went with police escorts.........so vip i must say...........

so they arrived in KL bout 915ish and came out from the gate bout 11ish...........too many passengers and bags i guess.............oh yeah, there's one bag that weights 35kg........and it took me and my cuz to carry it up into the boot of the car..........and there are also some other stuff that they've got from abroad.........2 people's luggage needs 2 cars's boot.....hmmmmmmmm.....well what ever it is, they are safely back home and that's what matters.........
