Journey

Hello u guys :-)

I'm really sorry this second post took some time, ermm more than two weeks actually, its because I was trying to find all the good pictures we took in Bahrain from my friends in Zagazig.

Flight from Malaysia to Bahrain at 11.30 a.m. (Malaysian time)

Gulf Air

We was required to be at the KLIA at 7.30 a.m, 3 hours prior to the departure time, to hand in our passport and to check the luggage weight (no more than 30 kilos per person). An advice for future travelers is if you're going on an international flight, its better to wrap your bags (they have counters there). It'll only cost you about ten bucks and ensures your bags are safe (and it gives you peace of mind too). First we were briefed regarding the schedule, the flight and all. After doa we spend time with our family, while waiting for the luggage to be scanned and all. Come flight time I walked with with my sis to the terminal. We stay close to each other. It was unbearable. Seeing each and every one of your family crying (except my uncles, of course) well, it reminds me that I'm gonna be away for 'a while'. Hm.

Flight to Bahrain took 7 hours, I can't recall the exact time though. It was pleasant, despite that I had a 10 minute scare looking for my passport. Found it under my chair. A reminder for me to keep important documents safe. I spent most of my time thinking. Then chatting with friends. Watching the entertainment on the plane I watch a whole episode of Hans Baaliya though I don't understand the language, it was funny, I mean, the show was funny. Oh ya and I didn't fast that day. Musafir (travellers) don't have to. To be honest I was kinda looking forward for the experience, its the first time I'm not fasting in the month of Ramadhan. Haha sorry Ku. So in Bahrain we stay in Delmon Hotel. The building is very beautiful, or should I say, artful. I'll put the pics later. These are the pics in Bahrain International airport.

And surely it begins... A window on the Unseen

Now Allah has created the dream not only as a means of guidance and instruction, I refer to the dream, but he has made it a window on the Unseen.

Tonight is the last night that I'm in Malaysia because as of tomorrow, I will be departing to Egypt, with the purpose of chasing a dream. I will be a student of University Al-Azhar, in the faculty of medicine, for 6 years. Now although this dream serve a purpose, as a means of guidance and instruction, I must say that it is not my dream all this while. It is in my top list, however, and it will not deter me from putting my best effort. I must say, that this is not my dream alone, for my family, relatives and close friends all hope from me the best I can do and so I will not dissappoint them. Being a doctor, in my opinion, would suit me well, as I cannot stand to watch others in pain. I would want to help to ease their pain, and I want to help them the best I could. Having went under two surgeries in my teen age, makes me understand what people are going through. And I am lucky, I believe, to have my family and friends when I went through both surgeries. The moral support bring great strength to myself.

I am quite anxious of going to Egypt. Although I've got a lot of information on how life would be there, I still could not help but feel uneased. Yes I am afraid of the unknowns, but I am not afraid of what the future might bring. What would be of me in 6 years? I would not have the answer to that myself, for I have no idea. But I hope with His grace and His guidance I will make this through, and with the support of my friends and family, I am sure I can do this. I will try to post frequenty for you my friend, of what life is like over here in Egypt.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

And to Alif, Ku, Kapil, Kameelia, Logeish, Hidayat, Al-Syafiq, Mukhlis and Amir Hariz, you all colour a part of my life, and I give thanks to God and thank Him for the opportunity of meeting you all in life. I can say that all of you have made footprints on my heart and I'm a different person from who I was. I love all of you. Regards, Khairullah.

God give me strength, for all strength comes from You
