Best souvenirs to get from Hejaz @ Mecca & Medina! || Travel guide 🤠

18th Dec 2019, 15.34 pm

Alhamdulillah, my mum just got back from her Umrah! I was so toast, 10 days captived at my own home 😖. It shouldn't supposed  to be that bad at first but my dad suddenly informed us that HE REALLY NEEDS TO OUTSTATION. So ya. I am all alone.

When my mum has reached there, in Jeddah, i am very excited and wondering what will she get for me? I do love collecting things and stuff from other parts of the world! Soooo my mum's trip to there will surely makes me can't hold my breath any longer that i decided to surf the internet about souvenirs from Hejaz.

Sadly, all pictures of souvenirs on Google didn't show much. And i keep saying to myself, there must be something good in Hejaz.. like what the companions r.a bought long time ago? What kind of gift they got for their wives and daughters? 

 So, time moves pretty fast that my mum safely arrived her home sweet home and i am shocked,, my mum is SO BRILLIANT in buying goodies. Like everything she bought is totally simple yet it means everything about the Haramain. Here, let me compile the gifts she bought :

1. Chocolates 🍫

Arabian chocolates are totally different than European and Asian chocolates. The most important thing is they are all Halal. I know, some of u might not one of the big fan of Arabian chocolates for somehow it tastes like the cheap one. But trust me, there ARE some of the chocolates that taste so sensational. 😉 like below, they are all my favourite and i was crying last night when i first time eat it and now i cannot stop! 


So this chocolate comes in 2 fillings ; caramel & strawberry. I LOVE THE STRAWBERRY ONE FOR IT TASTE LIKE STRAWBERRY YOGHURT. I swear these are so good 😭 that you should definitely buy tons of it!! 


This is how it looks like inside. 


Next, is my no.1 favourite. It is very similar to Ferrero Rocher but in coconut version 🥥!! I've never been in love with coconut this MAD before 😭! It has almond and chocolate cream inside and being covered with shredded coconut. It sooooooooo gooooodddddd. Btw, i cannot show u guys the inside for i ate LOTS of it and my mum has warned me to stop. So 🥺


2. Nuts and dates and raisins 



Actually my mum did buy cashew but what to do,, the cashews all in our tummy. 😚 hehe. But about nuts, the price is just same like in Malaysia. Nothing different.  Still expensive. 

3. Bracelets 💫


Eeeepp my mum and i are big fans of bracelets!!! And look what my mum chose for meee 😭😭😭😭 it looks so ancient and look exactly like in Ertughrul 😭😭😭 i love it soooo muchhhhhh!! ❣❣  as for the gold one, i totally want to wear it for weddings, it looks somewhat " pakistani " and Pakistani are gorgeous. Bracelets are women bestfriend. 

4. Perfumes 🤧


So everyone, this is totally suits for everybody either man or woman. Especially for men, you can easily gain reward by wearing perfume! Here, my mum picked Raudhah scent Hmmm i wanna cry 😭😭😭😭. It is just, increadibly beautiful to have that smell in a bottle and keep in your home sweet home. I've been to Raudhah before.. but long time ago la. It costs only 6 riyal. / bottle. 

5. Last but not least is, Abaya. 💃🏻

* i will post the pic of the abaya when i found good background ok *

Black abaya is the signature outfit for Arabian women and it so modest. The best thing about the Arabian abaya is, the fabric is cold, which is comfortable to wear during any kind of weather compare to abaya made in my country ( and i don't know about yours ).

I really hope this entry would be helpful to  you through out your trip to Hejaz/Mecca & Medina. If it doesn't, then nevermind! I am just sharing ideas. May Allah protects us wherever we go. Salam 🌻

Called her mine.

 22nd August 2023      She was somehow a Lebanese.. perhaps an Arab.. whose kind soul was the warmth of the friendship between my family and her. Her husband, was caught dead while protecting the country, he was a brave, fine soldier. And this woman, she had that big eyes and a pointy nose. Her hair was nearly curl and it is in light brown. She was a doctor and somehow people are so greed for heaven that they got her killed. In that dream, she was a good friend of mine.     " You take her! " was her last word to me, for her first born. The little angel was just born and knew nothing. Not even she could recognize her mother.      So I called her mine.. That time was as if I am an independent adult, alone, and ready to spend my life for the little girl. I brought her everywhere and taught her to laugh. She has that bright, big smile and that cheeks, light pink shades whenever she sees me. Her eyes blue and, she is mine.     I remember...

Seeking back my wild spirit for finals // sem 2 of degree.

24th April 2022, Sunday - prepping for the very 1st crit of semester 2 tomorrow (Monday) and I hate my concept - like it can be better, I was hoping for comments that can help me develop my design but my lecturer seemed to just love everything. He only said "yes" when I explained 2 design concepts  and contrary to any of my acceptance of approval before this, I am quite lost; getting thirstier for instructions. And yep, I am still here, having my face glued on the lappy screen, writing my own thoughts on blog while doing and reading some research about the similarities between the European housing because ----- Okay this is the story, we are given a site, and we are to interview a client based on professions & themes the faculty has assigned us - My site is located at the coconut orchard, with a very old-fashioned lifestyle happening in the community there, the existence of a traditional Malay house, nipah-made homestays, and chicken coop as the contexts. I am to do a ge...

Table for two, poem

I am just the size of Eve Little, weak and somewhat unclear Only a room for a heart A room for laugter And two for tears But the day you were in front of my eyes this universe inside me  Growing horizonless And just then i realise How this love in this body is countless. - No boundaries, limitless of self rise until paradise. R, 18.

Insecurity-

 27th June 2022.  So I have this little secret I hid, deepest in my heart; Something of its truth I won't admit, but poison is never meant to be kept. - My insecurity.  For all these years of living, it's quite shocking to say that I have been thinking of suicide so much for this semester. Nobody knows, how hard for me to cope with everything, and it's even funnier when people described me as "problemless" - quite a compliment for me for being hell good at camouflaging the flaws.  There were times I wished to be killed during my sleep, for somebody to suddenly come and stab my back during my prayer. I sometimes lusted to fall sick and to have the most beastly disease on earth and die. I just hate of living. I don't want to meet anyone.  I have no idea where of all these are coming from, I did everything - from turning on the Ruqyah for myself, to have some emails from Malaysian government of mental health careline.. I even had spilling session with somewhat ...
