1st Day At Langkawi

sekadar perkongsian buat tatapan sahabat:

22hb Oktober 2011

Hari pertama di Langkawi? Nothing much.. Risau juga, sebab i'm going alone..my flight was 12pm, and arrived at Langkawi at 1pm while my sister and the others will arrived at 5pm..menggelabah juga, tapi sebab dah banyak kali juga naik flight sorang from KL-Sabah, so kurang juga lah nervous, lagipun, Allah dah tolong plan, bila sampai sana alhamdulillah, there will be someone yang akan tolong teman..instead of one, i got two persons yang akan menemankan diri ini selama berada di sini sehinggalah yang lain sampai *ayat skema*..

macam mana boleh ada?

well, that day on the morning, my sister tiba-tiba cadangkan "kau tiada kawan orang Langkawi kah? boleh tanya di mana mau pergi, kami nda tau ni.."-__- I was like "nda tau mau p mana? bukan sudah plan since last year?" "ya..tapi jalan apa semua nda tau, macam mana mau p apa semua, nda tau.." "i know someone, insyaallah he can help, tapi i dont know if i can reach him, sebab sudah lama nda contact..but i'll try"

so i texted abang syahmi asking if its him, cause its been a long time since i contacted him through phone..

alhamdulillah, he replied! melonjak kegirangan sebentar..sebentar ja lah, sebab tanya dia kat mana, and unfortunately he didnt went home and in UIA Kuantan..dalam tengah frust, my sister told me to ask him if he could help on telling directions or suggesting about places to go, or if theres someone in Langkawi that we can contact..alhamdulillah, he told me that his cousin would come..by that time, I didnt know that i'm going on the plane alone, because I was supposed to be with kak Meri..

at the airport, i was already nervous, where was Kak Meri cause my sister couldnt reached her until when i was waiting for boarding and met Una Murcielago, my sister called saying that Kak Meri couldnt come because she's still at the workshop..oh, by the way, Uno Murcielago is my coursemate and she was going home that day..

ok..I was a little bit scared, because i was alone and abang syahmi told me that his cousin is a he..but i forgot that for a while..this was the fun part and i was told a lot of people about this already, well, first experience i guess..

i was seated between two beautiful lady, alhamdulillah..sitting besides the window was Syazani, she's 13 years only girl from Johor Bahru..while on my right side was Cyrine, a tunisian lady..She just got married to a handsome guy i must say on the 16th of October 2011..Cyrine stared a conversation with me while i was putting my quran tafseer in the seat pocket(is it?)..

Cyrine: is that the quran?
Me: Yes..why?
Cyrine: why is it not in arabic?
Me: it is..*sambil buka quran*
Cyrine: oh, i see..by the way, i'm a muslim *smiling*

i was suprised actually when she said that she's a muslim, well, it is hard to figured it when you looked at her appearance..but she's very pretty and i know she'll be much prettier if she wears the hijab..

Cyrine: sorry if i asked, but why did you wear face veil? i know that wearing hijab is in the quran, but that, its not stated..
Me: *trying to open the quran*
Cyrine: though it is, its only for the prophets wives

for a moment i was speechless not that i dont know how to answer but i was thinking how to speak out my answer in english..ok..kelakar..i know the answer but i couldnt say it because i didnt know certain terms in english..haha..ok ok..shame on me.."itulah pentingnya english education"
so, to simplify and i hope she understand what i'm saying..haha..

Me: there's many opinion on this matter from the ulama'..
Cyrine: oh..yes..i know..syafie?
Me: yes..imam syafie..

i was trying very hard to remember what is wajib in english..poor cyrine,she's trying to understand what i'm saying, but i coulnt say it out..so, i said something else, though i already said part of the sentences that i want to..-___-

Cyrine: syiah?
Me: No, i'm sunni
Cyrine: oh, me too..
Me: alhamdulillah..is it the only two of you?
Cyrine: Yes..
Me: your husband?
Cyrine: yes, actually we just got married last sunday/
Me: alhamdulillah *barakallahulakuma wa baraka alaikuma wa jama'a bainakuma fi khoir*
Me: honeymoon?
Cyrine: oh, yes honeymoon *giggles* you?
Me: hollidays..

She told me that Malaysia is beautiful, so i asked where she's from, she told me that she's from Tunisia and it was very far about 20hours flight..and she asked where i'm from, so i told her about sabah..then we talk about the revolution in the middle east..

i was wondering what language she's using because i heard that she's speaking in arabic with her husband..

Me: do you speak arabic
Cyrine: yes..do you?
Me: i know a little bit of arabic words
Cyrine: what words do you know?
Me: Kaifa haluki?
Cyrine *muka excited* ana bi khoir, alhamdulillah..
Me: alhamdulillah..i forgot to ask, what's your name?
Cyrine: Cyrine
Me: how to spell that?
Cyrine: C yada yada yada

i dont understand the way she spell so she wrote it in the air..hehe..actually on the back of the seat infront of her..

Cyrine: what's your?
Me: Thalibul Ilm
Cyrine: your name is in arabic?why is that?
Me: yes, most Malaysian names are in arabic..
Cyrine: oh, i see..is it your surname?
Me: do you know the ...?
Cyrine: oh..i know..
Me: yes, the descendents..
Cyrine: i see..

well, actually what i learned from the conversation with Cyrine was, i really need to improve my English, not just for education but in terms of communication and dakwah..who knows, Allah sends me to meet her, to talk to her about important of wearing hijab but i couldnt because of my poor english..-__- dont ask about arabic..that's a total fatal..haha..dont blame me, i never learn arabic formally..

so, when i arrived at Langkawi International Airports thinking that abang Syahmi's cousin would be there already but he's not..something came up and he'll be late, so i decided to wait at the musollah, because i got nowhere to go and i'm not familiar with the place nor the people..

then he texted me, saying that he'll bring someone else..alhamdulillah..because i was scared thinking that it'll going to be the only the two of us..so, he's a nice guy, cause he know that i'm alone, so he bring someone else, ok good..less worries..and he was late because he went to the mosque..ok, plus value..really nice guy..

so, we went around the island..i thought he's originally from langkawi, but it turns out that he's from Perak and just moved there 4months ago, thanks to abang Syahmi, no one in the car knows the road well including his brother..-___-

i was a little bit surprised that the other guy was abang Syahmi's little brother cause i've never knew that abang Syahmi has a younger brother which was only a year younger than me..well, i never asked, my fault..besides, memang muka tak sama langsung..i dont talk much because i was sleepy and hungry..they asked me if i want to have lunch but i repeatedly saying no, its not that i dont want but segan..even keluar dari kereta pun tak nak..adeh..segan tahap dinosour..

i thought kami naik kereta jalan-jalan tak jauh, rupa-rupanya, bila tengok peta, kitorang dah pusing hampir 1 pulau..dalam masa 2jam kot..tapi tak singgah-singgah lah, berhenti

somewhere kat pantai pasir hitam kot,

masjid temonyong,

petronas near the dana,

near awana porto malai

and that's the most i can remember..

then we went back to the airport about 5pm++..thanks to them, i remember most of the roads..yalah,jalan pun pusing, masuk sini keluar ikut lain pulak, pening juga nak hafal, but alhamdulillah, bila sesat malam tuh, and i remember the road, dapat juga sampai rumah..haha..
the sad thing was, bila dah sampai airport, naik kereta ni

wira KV 3930 C *rujuk gambar atas* my sister told me that, "beg kakak jadi macam beg mu hari tuh, tertinggal.." pulak..so, malam kena pergi airport ambil kawan my sister lagi sorang and ambil beg..dinner pun kat airport..so we spent most of the night at the airport and the road sebab sesat..haha..
