Am glad you enjoyed my ramblings...:) <BR/><BR/>GUiKP - it's so true, opportunists are everywhere. that was why pilgrims were advised to use agents authorised by Tabung Haji (usually our students in Saudi, Egypt or Jordan who wanted to earn some pocket money during the Hajj season). tapi our pilgrims kadang2 degil. they would rather take a chance on strangers who offer SR50 less than on TH agents.<BR/><BR/>Kak Teh - wah, kak teh duduk at the super-plush inter-continental! you step out the main entrance and terus langkah atas courtyard masjid.<BR/> <BR/>Pak Zawi - that's my wish too Pak.

Banyaknya syaitan mengganggu.<BR/>one example: We checked in at the Inter-Continental that you mentioned. Indeed a beautiful place - and I was so in awe of the place, which I regretted almost immediately as we were not there for worldly things. As soon as we stepped in the inter-continental, we were told our rooms are not ready. So we sent off to another hotel. I think God wanted us to have a taste of different hotels. Only later at night we were taken back to the INter-continental. By then, even when my room wasnt quite facing the Haram, I didnt mind.<BR/><BR/>But because it was so close to the mosque, I did go to the mosque alone. <BR/>There were so many surprises and so many incidents that I have yet to talk about. <BR/><BR/>I do know of some friends who pay for rombongans for their friends to do the Haj and Umrah..and I am one of those who benefitted. Never in my wildest dreams..!

I lost a bit, but the scale went up again upon the return home. <BR/><BR/>So true as you have put it about the thoughts that run through our minds when we are there. I had a tough time having to endure BOs of others. Each time after solat, I'd be the first one to run into the bathroom to throw up. Then one morning as I was walking towards the Haram, I saw an old man soundly sleeping on sheets of boxes, just outside the toilets near the mosque, a sudden rush of guilt came to me, and made me realize how lucky I was, to have proper bed and and sleeping in so much comfort. <BR/><BR/>God is Great, after that, my nose didn't behave as a hyper scent scanner as it used to be.
