CATLIO and THE BEST JOURNEY EVER
The Pre-and Post Journey TestsThey say it suppossed to be a test. And yeah, it was one great series of tests. I will be tested to surrender fully.
1. Out of the blue, when I was so confident, thing that I treasured the most is in jeopardy. As this thing is something that has a very great influence in my life, my mind was all over the place. Strangely, I was so focused before the journey itself.
2. When I thought the test is over, the big test came. Someone broke into my house, stealing my family jewellery and electronics. I, myself, lost three stuffs:
a. My G5 PowerShot Camera. Yes, it's old. But it was the first camera I ever had.
b. My iPod. Ah, I miss this the most.
c. My Nokia Communicator which is supposed to be a gift from someone.
It's not the dollar value that I miss and regret, but the sentimental value that the stuff has. But well, they're only gadgets. It's nothing compare to the health I have during the journey.
3. When I finally back to my normal life, my landlord try to increase the rent almost 100%.
The Journey itselfBut, those tests are negligible compared to the journey I had. It was wonderful and it was amazing.
1. Nabawi and Masjidil Haram are wonderful. Extremely wonderful.
2. My father has almost none health complaint while usually he complain more than once a day.
3. I do not lose my weight. All the food there taste perfect for me.
4. It just wonderful when you are so focus on one thing and forget anything else. It was so peaceful.
5. It just feel so nice when you can enjoy something that you always thought as your duty and not your rights.
6. I just never expect that all Arabian women are pretty.
Post-Journey.I wish I can be someone new. A better one for sure. Someone that my friends treasure to have, Someone that can make my parents proud, Someone that my love can count on and Someone that can be useful for my religion.
There are so many thing happens around me. Someone suddenly holds hand with someone (wink2), Someone suddenly broke up, Someone suddenly has a new one. And well, there are few things happen to me. After stripped from few my favourite gadgets (which of course, will result in new and better gadgets), I was moved into a new division on work, Starting a new semester, a new phase of relationship (when I can 'drive' her home, finally) and old house with new rental rate. Hopefully, with many new things around me, I'll become someone new. Better one. The one who surrender fully.
