A journey to Istanbul, Turkiye~ Part 1

Assalamualaikum.

3 February 2011

Aku bertolak ke Terminal 3 Cairo International Airport. Bercadang kalau rusuhan yang berlaku di tengah bandar merebak ke lapangan terbang akan menyukarkan lagi keadaan. Jadi, aku memilih untuk tidur di lantai airport.

4 February 2011

Flight dijangka pukul 3.50 petang ni. Aku masih sabar menunggu. Tepat pukul 1, tiada list flight yang bakal aku naiki. Aku ke kaunter pertanyaan Egypt Air.

"Sorry miss, this flight is cancelled. It may be postponed to tomorrow in the early morning."

Argh! Terpaksa menunggu lagi! Aku terpaksa akur. Nak je aku tawarkan diri jadi pilot untuk terbang petang tu jugak. Sabar...

5 February 2011

Pukul 6.30 pagi.

Peristiwa yang sama berulang, flight kami cancel lagi dan postpone ke hari esok. Pada masa tu aku dah mula berfikir untuk balik terus ke Malaysia. Ops Piramid masih belum berakhir jadi aku masih berpeluang untuk mendaftarkan diri untuk kembali ke Malaysia bersama ribuan lagi pelajar yang masih terkandas di Terminal 1, pusat pengumpulan pelajar dan penerbangan untuk Ops Piramid. Aku yang keletihan menanti dan menahan kemarahan yang membara di hati terus tertidur.

Pukul 12.00 tengah hari.

Aku terbangun. Aku bersihkan diri di tandas dan kemudian kembali ke tempat duduk kami. Sahabatku naik ke tingkat atas, departure hall dengan harapan akan ada flight yang berlepas ke istanbul petang itu. Kemudian dia kembali dan memberitahu bahawa ada flight yang akan ke istanbul petang ini pukul 3.50 pm. Tanpa berlengah aku tolak troli bagasi laju-laju ke tingkat atas. Aku ke kaunter pertanyaan.

"Sir, can you put us in the waiting list for the flight to Istanbul 3.50 pm?"

Lelaki yang berada di kaunter terus mengambil itinerary yang berada di tanganku lalu mengangkat gagang telefon dan bercakap dalam bahasa arab yang mana aku kurang pasti apa maksudnya. Di dalam hati aku berdoa panjang semoga ada kekosongan untuk petang ni. Lepas bercakap di telefon, lelaki tadi berkata, "Please go to the security now." sambil menulis sesuatu di atas itinerary tadi.

Dengan pantas aku menuju masuk ke security check dan menghulurkan kertas itinerary. Alhamdulillah, kami berjaya melepasi security dan juga menerima boarding pass. Aku sangat bersyukur kerana tak perlu terkandas di sini untuk sehari lagi. Penantian yang sangat meyeksakan. Sambil aku berjalan menuju ke pintu kapal terbang, aku berkata, "Goodbye Egypt!" Sungguh, aku tak pasti adakah aku akan kembali memijak tanah berdebu dan bersejarah ini lagi. Sehinggakan disaat aku memakai tali pinggang keselamatan di dalam kapal terbang, aku masih tak percaya yang aku akan meninggalkan bumi Mesir ni dalam beberapa minit lagi.


terima kasih Egypt Air, kerana membenarkan kami keluar dari Egypt. Haha.


Pukul 5.30

Touch down at Atartuk International Airport, Istanbul. Setelah mengambil bagasi dan mengeluarkan wang, aku ke kaunter booking hotel. Setelah menerima sekeping map dan resit hotel, kami menuju ke hotel dengan menaiki shuttle car yang disediakan oleh ejen. Jalan raya di sini lebih kurang dengan Malaysia, cuma bezanya driver di sebelah kiri. Bandarnya besar seperti bandar Kuala Lumpur, dipenuhi bangunan pencakar langit. Suhu : 8 degree celcius. Sejuk!

Tiba di hotel, aku bersihkan diri, dan merangka jadual untuk esok berdasarkan peta yang ada. Masa untuk malam ni masih ada, jadi aku berkeputusan untuk ke Taksim Square. Ianya lebih kurang macam jalan Abbas 'Aqad di Mesir. Di Malaysia aku tak pasti, mungkin macam Jalan Bukit Bintang kot. Ish, ye ke? Tak pasti lah gua bukan orang KL. Jalan-jalan dulu, survey apa yang ada. Banyak kedai yang dah tutup. Masa tu dah pukul 11 pm. Rupa-rupanya musim sejuk diorang tutup awal sebab malam awal. Masa kami sampai pukul 5 pm tadi pun dah gelap. Balik hotel, terus pengsan kepenatan yang teramat sangat.



6 Februari 2011

Akibat kepenatan yang amat, aku terbangun lambat. Nasib baik belum pukul 10, kalau tak, terlepas lah breakfast ku. Lepas breakfast, terus keluar berbekalkan sekeping peta dan D90 mencari Blue Mosque. Tak sampai 10 minit, kami bertemu juga dengan Blue Mosque. Cuaca sejuk walaupun matahari riang mengeluarkan sinarnya. Disebelah Blue Mosque kulihat beberapa wanita tua menghulurkan piring yang dipenuhi makanan burung merpati kepada pengunjung. Aku juga tak melepaskan peluang. Seperti yang aku jangkakan, Blue Mosque ni sangat cantik dan besar. Juga ramai pelancong datang dari seluruh dunia. Di sebelah masjid ni terdapat Makam Sultan Ahmet dan kerabatnya. Kami singgah solat di Blue Mosque.


sempat memikat burung merpati di Istanbul...


Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque)

Kemudian kami ke Basilica Cistern. Ruangan bawah tanah terdiri dari tiang2 yang tersusun rapi, dan kolam di bahagian bawah. Serius cantik!


Underground Basilica Cistern

Lokasi seterusnya Hagia Sophia, tinggalan yang dahulunya gereja telah dijadikan masjid. Sekarang ni completely dijadikan muzium. Aku sangat teruja dengan binaan masjid ni. Terasa seperti kembali ke zaman empayar Ottoman.

perhatikan di bawah ada mimbar, dan diatas ada Mary dan Jesus.


wishing column - kononnya your wish will come true lah. ;)

Kemudian aku ke Topkapi Palace. Ruangan istananya yang sangat luas, dihiasi taman yang cantik serta pokok2 yang tinggi. Suasana petang tu sangat tenang dan nyaman. Bagi yang suka berjalan dikelilingi pokok dan bunyi burung2, this place is the most suitable for you!

Lepas keluar dari pagar istana, kami berjalan ke taman di sebelah istana pula. Walaupun penat, tapi bagi aku, rasa sangat rugi kalau tak meneruskan perjalanan. Tanpa dijangka, kami tiba di pelabuhan feri berhampiran kawasan Eminonu. Wah, tak sangka aku dah jauh berjalan. Kami decide untuk membeli tiket feri untuk ke Bursa keesokan hari. Aku bertanya beberapa orang tempatan, tapi mereka tak faham bahasa inggeris.

Tiba-tiba datang seorang lelaki tempatan berumur lewat 40-an menegur kami dalam bahasa inggeris. Beliau cam kami orang Malaysia. Beliau pernah bekerja di Perak tak lama dulu. Beliau sangat suka orang Malaysia kerana suka membantu orang. Bangga sekejap aku. Beliau kemudian membawa kami ke pelabuhan feri Yenikapi dan membantu kami membeli tiket. Oh, terasa sangat terhutang budi dengan beliau. Ya, di kala aku kesusahan, pasti ada orang yang akan membantu. Alhamdulillah~ Setelah mendapat tiket, kami berpisah dengan lelaki tersebut di Eminonu, dan kami menuju ke Taksim Square buat kali kedua. Kami terserempak dengan sekumpulan pelajar Malaysia yang belajar di Jordan di dalam train menuju ke Taksim. Aku sempat menangkap sepasang winter coat untuk main salji esok dan satu backpack Adidas. Hooyeah~

Cerita pasal main salji ni.. hmm.. next entry plak la ye? Hehehehe~

El-Tahrir.

Assalamualaikum!

Alkisahnya, semalam aku pergi Embassy of Malaysia dekat Mohandisseen dengan sorang member ni. On the way balik, kami naik bas nombor 121 (perlu ke bagitau?) ke Ramses. Bas tu gila sarat pun kami naik lagi, biasalah, kalau nak comfort2, balik Malaysia jelah.

Yang malangnya, semasa bas tu melalui jambatan 15 Mei dekat dengan Tahrir tu, bas tu tiba-tiba rosak kat tengah-tengah jambatan. Semua yang sarat dalam bas tadi bengang and bising-bising semua. Kitorang terus turun  and nak cari teksi. Then, aku dapat idea cantik punya. Tengok jam, awal lagi ni, baru pukul 2 lebih. Tak jadi cari teksi, kitorang jalan kaki dari atas jambatan tu ke Tahrir. Menyusuri tebing sungai Nil, wahh!!! Aku dah lama berhajat nak jalan-jalan tepi sungai Nil di Tahrir ni. Actually takde apa yang best pun tapi bagi aku, scenery tu yang best. Hampir-hampir nak naik cruise menyusuri sungai Nil. Weehehehe~


Cantik tak?


abaikan tudung yang serabai tu sebab angin kuat gila. nasib baik aku tak pakai baju kurung. hehe~

Ada apa kat kat Tahrir? Ada Sungai Nil, cruise, restoran atas kapal, National Museum, and Mugamma (pusat untuk buat visa). Setakat ni, itu je yang aku tau. ;)


di depan Mugamma. ni gambar lama masa bulan 12 tahun lepas. 

Ja ne!

Postpone, Hang-outs, Housemates, & Omedetou

Assalamualaikum!
Fuh~it takes a loooonnngg time for me to post this entry, even to upload all of this pictures (45 minutes just for uploading photos,,yeah)
but, whatever it is, i'm glad to have this opportunity to put some of the pictures while i'm here. (heh, i'll spend 5 years here so there'll be more pics coming later..XD)

How am i doing?
well,, just good enough..
the first thing is, the final semester exam that i've mentioned in the entry before was postponed.
POSTPONED!
that's a good news, and also a bad one.
the exam is postponed because we still did not get our tasydid kuliah
(a letter confirming that we are the student of the university)
That thing is important for entering exams and for extending study visas afterwards.
Huh~so, we'll have to wait untill the end of February to get our tasydid kuliah and entering for final exams.
well, i hope that will going through without any problem.

Our HEAVY classes have already over. We've already going through all the syllabus, and just wait for the exam day. There's only Arabic language and Al-Quran class that still be held. So, as you may guess, we've a loooot of times! As if, you know me, a travel-loving person, ouh yeah!
Ronggeng habisssss!!!
Hehehehehehe...


fi Tahrir.. this is the place that people making visas. Actually, taking pictures were forbidden here but we managed to ignore it and took pictures by any chances we have. Haha!


Ah~well, is it a nice dress?(Really, this is a question, not asking for praise) I newly bought it but even when i'm wearing it, i still cannot find the side that makes this dress looks good on me. That's the weak part of me. Haih~
This picture was taken at my friends' house, just near opposite of my house. Their house is at the eight level and the highest of the building. Haha. Luckily there was a lift there. It's just that they faced some problems with water supply. Sometimes.
My house was on the second floor and no lift. Thank God for not get the higher one. Phew!


Ah, this one was taken just after we've finished our oh-we're-really-tired-after-six-hours-non-stop-classes-but-just-endure-with-it. Hehe, that day we come to class on eight am and just only finished on eight pm. Oh, notice that the woman at the centre is our Botany practical lecturer.

Oh! Did i forgot to mention that i'm one of the newcomers that enters the batch 2009/10 quite late? That consequence with my treatment on AVM and because of that, i came a little late to study here. Then, the others in the picture also the newcomers. So, that's why we've to endure the full day classes to catch up all the syllabus that we've skipped.


Waiting for the train to the Shobra, the place that we went to see the crystals.

Huhui! This is the best part. Introducing my housemates, from left : Sumayyah, Meha, Tasya, Zara, and Syuhada. And, as you see, they are just like that. (What does this sentence mean?)
Haha, on simple words, diorang semua sempoi2 je. and sporting. that's the important thing. Ah, Heiji-san, introducing the one that crazy on english anime, Tasya. I think i've told you about her, right?


The one thing that makes us same, we love hang out! Hehe... I'm grateful to have them as my housemates. Love you all, minna-san.



besar kan kek nih?? housemate aku sume dasyat2 kalo bab makan neh.


ni koleksi biskut peneman study...serupa biskut raya tak? jgn risau, kat sini ada tiap2 hari...


I think that's all for now. On the next post i'll story about my new pets, and also my housemates', and also, of course, more pictures! Well then, ja ne!


P/S : I'm sorry for still not having time to visit your blog, minna-san! Gomen-ne.

P/S : It's kinda late, but, Happy Birthday, Mr. Farizz (7th Jan), Ierah-chan, and Mr. Perfection (23th Jan). Have a sweet 20th birthday...

Ja Ne!



Within the spaces,

across the roads,

in the midst of the unknown people,

their hearts unite without being realized by their own self...

they even doesn't know each other, yet...

in the night that we meet coincidently,

it's like the last night we only have together,

and by the God's Will,

it's also the night that we depart...

while walking in separate route,

no one knows that both of us

pray that we will meet again,

someday...

pray that the route which separate us,

will intersect anyway,

to be the one and the only route,

that we will walk together,

someday...

Kau rasa?

Sometimes kau rasa empty bila suami jauh dari kau. Kau rasa takde protection, kau tak rasa belaian kasih sayang dia. Even though nowadays we...
