Alhamdulillah I'm back at home. After spending 20 days at my in-laws', we moved back to our little nest yesterday. I' m feeling better now. The exterior wound is almost healed although I can't say for sure for the internal wound where the doctors had taken out the fibroids. There's still a slight pain once in a while to remind me that I'm still on medical leave. In fact, I can do almost everything I had done pre-surgery except drive. I'm trying to psyche myself for the first drive post-surgery, for the bumps on the roads might not be comfortable with me on the driver's seat.
And today I'm supposed to start packing again , hahahaa.. but not to the hospital, nazu'billah.
As said earlier, Husband and I are planning a trip to the land of our ancestors. And alhamdulillah, with about 2 weeks to go, we've managed to book our places with a good Muslim tour agency. The reception and treatment they've given us via phone calls and emails have been satisfactory (they're in KL, we're in Penang). InsyaAllah, if everything goes well, Husband and I will be leaving for 'the land of the dragon' next week, when my medical leave is over.
I know some would say I'm crazy to go on tour to a far away land at such a short time after my open surgery. However, I'm feeling fine and we've planned this trip months before. As we're not sure what plans Allah swt has for us next year, we're taking this chance to go and have a great time, insyaAllah. As the trip has been paid up, by hook or by crook, we'd go. Even my mother, who has been there, has given her approval although she was initially worried about my health and recovery rate. Mom knows there's no stopping me when I've made up my mind, hehehe.
It's winter there, so I'd be looking for some warm clothing soon before the trip. We've chosen a rather relaxing 6 days' trip to the capital of China, so we'd have some time to rest every day. I'm looking forward to see the Forbidden City and the Muslim mosques, while Husband can't wait to walk on the Great Wall. It'd be more of a learning tour than shopping for goods. I hope the travel agency treats this nyonya well, for I intend to write about the trip in this blog when I return :)
Gosh, I've just returned home and there're bags to unpack and repack.
It'd be an interesting week ahead, that's for sure.
I've another big important project up my sleeve, and I'm praying hard that Allah swt will allow the transaction to happen smoothly. If everything goes well, insyaAllah I'd be repacking more things soon, hehehe.
Hmm, now what shall I pack for the trip?

ReplyDeleteSis Aliya,
Alhamdulillah. I am glad you are recovering fast. Waa..nak pergi holiday... bestnya..! Hope you have a great time. Can't wait to read about it.
Salam Aliya, good to know you're recovering well. Wah... Holiday in China! Sounds exciting, take cool snapshots ya! :-)
ReplyDeleteSalam kenal, nin hao.
ReplyDeleteSy gembira dpt bertemu blog yg unik ini. Dpt sy membaca pandangan dari sudut yg berlainan. Selama ini hanya menerima pandangan Melayu Islam, tidak daripada Cina Islam.
Di Malaysia, selalu mualaf masuk Islam akan jadi 'Melayu'. Bercakap Melayu dan berpakaian Melayu. Hendak disalahkan tidak boleh juga kerana pengaruh Melayu sbg majoriti di sini dan juga byk buku agama dan sekolah agama yg berbahasakan bhs Melayu.
Amat jrg kelihatan umpamanya rancangan tv berbahasa Mandarin yang memperkatakan tentang islam. Yg ada rancangan Tamil untuk India Muslim. Byk tanggapan salah tentang Islam terutamanya drp masyarakat bukan Islam di Malaysia seperti org islam tidak perlu byr income tax. Komen ketua persatuan sekolah cina yg takutkan kalau semua anak cina terpaksa ke sek keb, mereka diwajibkan diajar agama islam adalah contoh lain yg byk ketidakfahaman ttg islam. Byk yg terpengaruh dgn idea Barat yg menerapkan islamophobia.
Harap sis dpt mengekalkan identiti cina. Islam bukan utk melayu shj tetapi untuk semua, semua orang di dunia ini. Dalam pada itu, tak ada blog dlm bhs cina ke? Ke boleh cakap je.. jgn marah.. :)
Hrp tabah menjalani hari2 mendatang. Wassalam.
salam..
ReplyDeleteowh, sronoknya kak aliya bercuti di china. My friend kt sini, mostly from China too. Maybe next time, I'll be in China too..
hehe..
Take care there. Sure it will be very cold. Even here, it was 1degree. Huhu..
Jazakallah.
Waalaikumussalam MS & aieen,
ReplyDeleteAlhamdulillah I've started driving again today, short distance :)I'm so thrilled! Macam lepas kandang ajer, hehehe..Yes, the holiday's been confirmed.Ahh,excited ada, takut pun ada..takut sejuk!Well, a vacation to look forward to helps to a quick recovery for me :P
Waaalaikumussalam stROZze,
ReplyDeleteSelamat berkunjung ke blog ini dan selamat berkenalan. Fenomena 'mualaf masuk Melayu' boleh disebabkan berkahwin dengan orang Melayu dan pasangannya/mertua tidak memberi ruang untuk mengekalkan identiti sendiri. Saya agak bertuah kerana suami serta mertua menerima saya seadanya. Alhamdulillah dewasa ini semakin ramai saudara baru & lama yang telah tampil ke hadapan menjalankan dakwah kepada orang ramai. Saya bertuah kerana berpeluang mengikuti ceramah mereka ketika menuntut di USm Penang.
Blog ditulis dalam BM & English bukan Mandarin supaya mesej sampai kepada orang ramai. Lagipun orang Cina sekarang pun fasih dalam kedua-dua bahasa ini, banyak kerja kalau nak tulis dalam 3 bahasa, hehehe. :)
Waalaikumussalam ahmad fairuz,
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be -3 till 3'Celcius in China, brrrrr... macam masuk peti ais. Apa-apa pun, am praying hard everything will be fine there. If allah swt izinkan pergi ke sana, insyaAllah tentu ada hikmahnya, bukan?
