I feel a little scared and nervous for tomorrow. Sadly but truthfully, umrah was like a big escapee from this world here, the distance I need but no other practical action I did other than doa. So hence the feelings. But the reality of this world I need to do actions to solve it with guidance of doa. This world is certainly tough. All I did there was go back and forth to masjid, definitely push my limits at madinah. Makkah has it owns charms though I did 3 umrahs, it's not a rush to go an hour before. Where you pray, early or late really depends on how Allah arranges it for you cause of the line, the queues, the doors. One umrah I did after a night hiking up Jabal Nur which was insane how the next day our feet were perfectly fine.
This umrah, I was in better shape than the last. No cracked lips except a small tear in my first few days then just melecet sikit on one of my small toes after my third umrah I think. Being there, just to and back the masjid, in the room for food and cleaning up, time certainly went by too fast I didn't have time to do other things. Even journaling, mostly on the bus. My down time was in taif. I'm really grateful for my umrah because from what I see what I prayed for most part (just one part in madinah I can't go to mosque alone but I'm sure it comes with rewards for intention to help others). The hotels was near, food was great which weirdly I think my tummy half misses it. Anyhow, I cooked a half porridge for me with chicken stocks, eggs and daun ketumbar.
Barely shopped except for laban. Did a little shop in taif. I found the indomie my dad ate during their stay. Can't find it any other places. Haha. A honeycomb, zabib, walnuts and that's it. I bought konafetto off of shoppee and praying mats. I spent my cash on ziarah and on others. So I still have half my riyals with me.
I'm having the sniffles since asr oh well.
Bismillah for tomorrow,
TGiaH
