اللهم صلي على محمد

 gantang-gantang semua السلام عليكم مانيس-مانيس دان 

Haa,,terpaksa tukar tulisan sebab lembap bebeno type nye dan tiada ku jumpa huruf 'ga'. Gantang itu maksudnya kacak ye (tapi nak panggil Bukit Gantang pon boleh)..ate mike tau ke bukit gantang tu mane letoknye??haha

Abaikan apa yang dah terjadi. Hari ini, saya ingin menyambung membuka galeria Tukiye. Masa yang diberikan hanyalah sejam, jadi mana yang sempat saja lah ye..

Tarikh:26-28 Januari 2013

Tempat: Bursa

Suhu: Hujan (pon boleh)

Seperti catatan tarikh tu, kami berada di Bursa selama 3hari. Tak ingat berapa jam perjalanan menaiki feri. eh kapal.eh feri. ntah tak tah nak beza kapal ke feri. Hehe. Dan perlu diingatkan, ianya sangat memeningkan kepala dan meloyakan tekak. Tapi alhamdulillah, perjalanan sangat lancar dan bes wooo tengok ombak. Sukew tau tingok ombaakk~~ (dengan suara seperti tiada anak tekak dan mahu dipelempang sikit). 

*Berhenti rehat jap, nak solat*

*sambungan*

Sebelum tu maaf sebab gambar agak berterabur. Ada dua folder asing jadi pilih-pilih yang sesuai. Macam di bawah la jadinya. Maaf. Apapun selamat membaca!

Bursa kami datang!!! (tak pasti nie nak pergi ke dah sampai)
 Please notice that, i was always left behind. always. Because..
see the leg la..mana mampu nak langkah lebar2..haha

Nie curi-curi ambil gambar dia sebab muka sama macam kawan.
Fatimah.kawan saya tu. untung la muka cam Turkish girl..

Tulisan khat dalam masjid. ini di Ulu Cami (C dibaca J).
Saya suka sangat masjid-masjid dekat Turki. Dipenuhi dengan khat yang cantik-cantik. Sangat cantik!
Oh ya, ada kisah menarik tentang masjid ini.  Nak tahu tengok gambar bawah..

Apanya yang menarik..kolam je pun..Masjid lain pun ada kolam..Haish..sabar jap..
Begini kisah kolam ini. pada zaman dahulu (dah macam crita astro ceria pula), Kawasan kolam tu kepunyaan orang Kristian sementara disekelilingnya milik orang Islam. Jadi, orang Islam meminta untuk membeli tanah tersebut daripada orang Islam. Orang Kristian bersetuju dengan syarat tanah itu tidak dijadikan tempat solat. jadi, terbinalah kolam tempat mengambil wudu ini.  Pengajarannya, kita dengan sesiapa pun mestilah bertolak ansur. Hatta dengan non-muslim pun, perlulah ada toleransi dan hormat-menghormati. ok?!

Ini di rumah pemuda Turki, Ismail. Kawan baru yang kami (actually kaum lelaki) jumpa di masjid. Sangat baik orangnya.
Orang cakap, kalau nak jumpa orang baik, pergilah tempat yang baik-baik. Alhamdulillah, tak sangka dalam kepenatan berjalan-jalan jumpa Ismail. siap bawa pergi rumah jumpa opah dan atuknya yang juga sangat baik dan peramah.

Ini gambar nadia, saya, sherifah dan k.najla. Sewaktu ditinggalkan oleh geng lelaki (deme ke masjid),
kami tinggal la dengan sherifah. dapat bayangkan betapa susahnya nak berkomunikasi.
Tapi both us and sherifah tried very hard to understand each other. alhamdulillah, with that bahasa isyarat we communicated quite well. Lupa nak cakap, Ismail sangat baik bahasa inggerisnya. He even awarded and ranked 1st in Ankara English Exam if I'm not mistaken. So, he became the translator.hee

Tiga gadis pingitan. tak sebenarnya, tiga gadis bingitan. sebab asyik bising..haha

As i mentioned before, every sultan in Turkey during khilafah have their own symbol.
So, their symbol were used in stamping document or what so ever. So, this is Othman Gazi symbol.

everyone can read right. so no need for explanation :P

Masjid nie atas bukit. Sangat tinggi. Dan sepanjang perjalanan kuburrrrr je..
Tetiba jumpa anjing, lepas tu ada orang tu menjerit sambil melompat dan berlari. cuba teka sape?

See, grave all the way..

Wait, i think this one is called blue tomb. But i don't remember whose tomb is it. Sorry for my short memory :(

Lepas dua gadis turki nie bergambar dengan kami, seorang lagi rakan deme nak jugak bergambar.
Mashaallah, nak faham punyalah susah.
'Oh, awak nak saya ambil gambar awak'
'Oh awak nak ambil gambar dengan kawan saya'
Macam-macam oh sampailah..
'Ooooo,,your friend wants to take picture with us?'
'Evet evet'..

Selepas penat berjalan seharian, kami berjalan-jalan di bazaar. Tak ada la beli apa pun. Tapi,
terserempak dengan warga Malaysia dekat sini.
Ada cerita menarik juga tau. Tapi, i decided not to write it here.
Biarlah menjadi kenangan abadi dan lucu antara kami.
Semoga kita semua mendapat hidayah. tu sajalah mampu saya doa.

I just wanted to let people know how much i love Turkish food.
Except ayran. It is 'susu sangat sangat masam'.
I think i can give my salutation to those who can drink it.
I can't even take a sip.
those who can finish it, all i can say is 'is your tongue normal?'
Yeah, i know you just have Turkish taste, so marry a Turkish please..huhh

Since i love adventurous activity, So i would not waste this big chance. one thing i had always wanted to do. Alhamdulillah. even so, the feeling was not that good. hwaa..Because it was so high and so slippery too and so no-experience too. it was so scary when at the top. I did practise but even if it take years, i'm still an amateur. At first, i thought i really can do it like how others smoothly slid down with that jump and spin style. But the only style i could do is roll.automatically! Once in my lifetime, i felt the distance between me and death was like no distance!
Even so, I want to do again. for next time, i'll do better. You just wait!
Would like to remind, anyone wish to ski, make sure you have healthy bone so you wont get fractured easily. Sakit lutut dan pinggang itu boleh terima la.
Anyhow, i'm an advanturess!!!

Lepas penat, boleh nikmati ABC (ais boleh cirit). Nak makan tu korek bahagian yang molek-molek sakit.
Nanti sakit perut, siapa ajar? Sendiri yang kurang belajar. haha..

Ini kumpulan percussion untuk majlis tarian pusing-pusing tu. Tahu kan? Yang sambil berpusing-pusing sambil berzikr dan berselawat. Allahuakbar. Hebat orang-orang macm ni.
suka la saya nak ingatkan, Kalau nak pergi ni, pandai-pandaila cari. Sebab ada juga yang buat untuk tujuan komersial. Berbayar. Yang nie, tak payah bayar dan duduk dalam majlis ni terasa sangat zuqnya walaupun tak faham. Fam lailahaillah and sollallahualaihiwassalam je la.hehe
Before majlis tari tu, kita ada ini dulu...

Majlis pengajian!!
disebabkan tak faham sangat, hanya dengar dan berdoa sajalah dalam majlis tu. Inshaallah makbul doa kita dalam majlis ilmu. ye dok?

Ini makam ibu kepada my beloved Sultan Mehmet al-fateh.

Sewaktu melawat makam-makam yang banyak, terjumpa dengan beberapa orang Asia. Indonesia pun ada. Belasan tahun baru, tapi dah macam kakak pun ada. Deme belajar dekat sekolah menengah di sana.

Kami lah wirawan dan wirawati!
Dihadapan kubu Sultan Mehmet al-fateh.
Very enormous and i believe it was the greatest during his time.
Pemimpin yang hebat, tentera yang hebat, rakyat yang hebat.

These are graves i mentioned in the photo before. I noticed that, Turkish couple have their grave beside each other.
I asked a Turkish friend about this, and she said that it is normal thing and kinda tradition..

Blue tomb.

You can see perfectly the so much perbezaan between me and that baby.
Erm,, 'comel macam anak aku' is my trademark when i see cute baby.

Seronok masjid nie sebab dia ada pangkin macam nie. Rasa macam tenang je kalau dapat solat dan bermunajat, bertafakur sendirian dekat sini. Gadis bingitan terpaksa ada dalam gambar sebab tak jumpa gambar pangkin alone..hehe

Sedang berbingit di atas pangkin, jumpa dengan salah seorang jemaah umrah. Untungnya pakcik, makcik dan anak-anaknya.
people keep asking me 'bila kau nak pergi umrah' because they heard my country wishlist yang panjang lebar tapi Mekah dan Madinah tak tersenarai and they started to say this line 'pergi la mekah dulu' or 'tak nak pergi mekah ke'. I don't know if i just to suspicous with them, but i really think that they are trying to say 'kau nie tempat lain pergi, mekah tak nak pergi' in a polite way. I'm sorry if i'm wrong, but that is my idea and my instinct almost always right. It's not that i don't want to step my foot there, i really really do want. but you see, there is no mahram. And, when i said that, they will say 'kahwinlah' as i can just pick any man i like and propose him and then say to him 'lets go umrah'. oh my.  So now, let just pray we can be special guest of Allah. As soon as possile.
Panjang pula caption untuk yang nie. Sorry~~

left behind with transparent umbrella. the only one with umbrella.

The 'keterukan' face after long journey to Uludag (where we skied). I slept all the way. while everyone excited with the snow along the road, i just relieved my drowsiness and nausea by sleeping..woohoo.  This picture was taken after someone fell down due to her enthusiasm and eagerness to play with snow..We can't help laughing..sorry you

This is Ismail!! (jerit sikit). Anyone interested? kind-hearted, good looking, clever, 'soleh' inshaallah..
Okay i'm kidding here. Someone have crush on him. I'm sooo dead if she knows this.
Let just pray, if menjadi bahagialah, if not, there will be someone match her well.

Thanks for the orange winter 'balloon'. I'm so apparent among the man and woman in black.
I'l look for blue and yellow later!...

Alhamdulillah, selamat perjalanan ke Bursa. Sangat banyak kenangan dan memori. Lebih-lebih lagi bila berjumpa dengan adik Ismail (umur dia 17 tahun.sekian). Jika anda ke Turki, jangan lupa ke Bursa, kerana terdapat begitu banyak makam dan  masjid. Tidak berkesempatan pun nak ke semuanya. Inshaallah, yang baik-baik sahaja anda akan jumpa jika niat anda memang baik. Maaf kerana tidak dapat nak memasukkan gambar banyak-banyak sebab terlalu banyak. Cukup lah kot sekalian mendapat idea how Bursa looks like. 

Also, thank you for reading this. Those in a journey, have a safe trip and may you reach destination safely. enjoy yourself and enjoy this so beautiful world of Him. Do not forget to 'puji-puja' the Creator!

Thank you again!

nota kaki:owh tak sabar winter lagi sekali..

Bestfriend :)

Assalamualaikum..

Dear bestfriend,
It have been 14 years (more or less) since we were apart. Wow, we have not seen each other for that long! i wonder what are you doing now. Are you alright? I hope you are always in best state of health, happy and bless of course. Bestfriend, do you still remember all those days we were together? I think, i remember almost everything that happened between us. how can i forget you? The new comer when we was in 2nd year of primary school. But then, who greet who? if it was you, i'm sorry i forgot. If it was me, then never mind that.

Bestfriend, do you still remember every evening, at the back then, you would come to my house. we ate that bear-shaped biscuit together with my sister behind my house? No, to be exact, beside. Maybe corner? haa. Oh yeah, i would make drink for us. But, was it milo or tea? I don't remember that, but we really enjoyed that evening together. You had lunch at my house once. I remember how you refused afraid if your mom know. But, my mom and me of course, forced you and convinced you that she will be okay. Before that, you came into my room and saw a beautiful scenery picture I stuck on the wall. With my quite an ability (i call it talent anyway), i said if it was my drawing. You nearly believe, but why asked my mom? Huh, lucky you. but hey, 'I know she can't draw well' was too honest. yeah, i don't have that artist hand but you see, i can draw better now since i had compulsary art class for 2 years. fine, it was histology class. Don't worry, i didn't take your word seriously. I cheated, right?

Bestfriend, I also remember vividly the sport day held in our school. I wondered why you just sat there near the small bridge. Then i came to you and invited to join the race. But your answer surprised me.
'I can't. i had a heart disease. You can go'
With your expression, i could tell that you actually wanted to run together with me. with other friends of us. But, the only you could do was cheering and supporting. I win as 1st runner and you shall be happy to know that you are the first to know after the judges. hehe. Hmm, there is something i'm sure about my feeling. After you came to my school or should i say since you came into my life, that was the first time i felt that i had a very sincere, honest, innocent friend and that make me think, you have complete set what a person needed to be a good friend. I'm not saying that my friends now are not good. No. In fact, they are too good which i can't even compare. Another fact, i'm the one lacking something. The thing i want to say here is, you are different.

Bestfriend, everything happened too fast. Very fast where i could not even say goodbye. I could not think well. Did not ask your phone number (that time, we did not have cellphone, so not my fault), your address. Where do you live now? are you still in Australia? Have you come back to Malaysia? Without knowing your whereabouts, i can only pray so that, you with your family always fine, safe and sound. Oh yeah, your brother, is he still bullying you? If he does, note me, i'll come over and teach him well :) If it is fated we cannot see each other in this small and temporary world, let's pray we will be together in jannah.

Bestfriend, I'm pretty sure you wont read this, unless coincidentally. I search you many time in the facebook, twitter and i-forgot-the-application-name though i know from the start it will upset me. However, isn't it better than doing nothing? It is hard really because i don't remember your face very well but the memories that hold us together i will remember all my life inshaallah. that's why i'm writing here. Well, i'm getting older and who knows about our future life. maybe i'll have dementia or Alzheimer or what so ever that you-can't-remember-thing disease (naudzubillah), that time, i can read this again (will i remember the password?) haha..

Bestfriend, have a blessed and blissful life okay? Wherever and whenever you are, always remember the one up there. Sorry for calling you bestfriend when you don't even approve me that level of friend. Ngee..

Your friend,
Imah :)
