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 🌻

Awakened by prince charming

AAAAAAAAA dyou guys wanna know?? I had a magical and wonderful dream last nightttttt. If you're my sisters or my roomates, you know that i love love love to set a continuous alarm in the morning. 5.40 am, 5.50 am, 6.05 am, 6.15 am, 6.20 am and 6.25 am and each of these comes with my favourite One Direction song :3 So this morning, my spirit finally knows how to come back to its body. I woke up freshly at 6.25 am, and dont thank to my alarm, instead, to the prince charming i met in my dream. (Wait at this right moment i am currently at cafe, the awkwardness seems demanding to be the king in my mind and thoughts for the abang cafe is waiting for me to be in front of the paying counter. 😖😖😖😖😖😖) Okay what was it just now?? Ohhh the prince charming. Sooo i think i was blanketed by the demon's pee for i felt soooo lazy to wake up for fajr. (Dont copy the action, or you'll get the ticket to Jahannam in no time) During my 5 minutes sleep (between 6. 20 to 6.25) , i...

Adjusting the crown & get the day started, Hijab Tutorial!! 🧕🏻

Hello!! So it's my 1st time doing this kinda content since some of u wondering about how i wear my hijab.. well, it is just a hijabi classic look ! But since everyone still wondering how.. To be honest I am really bad at wearing hijab.. obviously you can see how i look like at school. My mum keep telling me it's alright to look ugly sometimes as long as u have a good wide mind. Remember that the sun doesn't lose its beauty when the clouds are covering her. So, i am notorious for not wearing any under scarf and more than 1 pin for everyday look. And im not even ashamed. I am a very simple girl ye la sbb nanti nak singgah solat lah, lepastu org ada adik kan.. First things first, i use cotton material i bought in Turkey. Like mostly, this is the common material people in Arabs, Turkey and around that region use for their hijabs. It costs me 40tl ( rm 40 ) only , and to me it is affordable for i bought this at the Grand Bazaar. 🤔 Without further a do, here's a ...

Facts about me: too many names

29 nov 2020. Today my fellow brought my friends and i to some groceries shopping in Gambang. I have to admit that the town is kind of gloomy since it is surrounded by trees and jungles. There are a lot of buildings though but not as high as in my home sweet home, Klang. And most of the buildings are empty. I guess because half of the citizens here work in Selangor though. Hm. Because of the pandemic Covid19, the university only allow 3 students to go out, so there went Zulaikha my roomate, Zulaikha my new roomate, and I. We sent our matric numbers and some biodata to the upper management and we were finally at the grocery store. There are only 19 students who chose to stay at the campus until the end of semester 2 next year, which is going to be conducted online. So 16 students who remained at the campus, texted us about the stuffs they wanted to buy. Everyone wrote their desires in the whatsapp group i made before. But there were 2 students texted me personally ...

He's there..

Huaaaaa i feel like my house is going to drown in a few minutes. I wanna cryyyyy 🥺🥺. I'm not going to make this as formal like usual. this entry is going to be extra special. So it needs to be different. For all the times that i cried, thinking about what i lost; my very bestfriend and other things,. Indeed, God is the best film director. I love my life! I am REALLY BREATHING tonight! 😭😭😭 I always thought that i am alone. But... this night told me that i am not!! There is someone who watches everything i do. Listens to every word i say. And understands every act i play. I couldn't find the word he deserves to make him feel appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🥺💗 This is a friend you guys should look forward to. Who is always there. Even when they know that u dont notice their existence. Been there before you even get started,. Never stop to give moral supports, oh my i am touched!! 😭 seriously angels like this dont deserve us. Thank you. I hope i can do the same thi...

1st day keluar rumah after 7 minggu captived in my humble crib

7 Ramadan 2020, 1st day keluar rumah after 7 weeks terperangkap, Smiled at literally everyone. 🥰 Semalam, alhamdulillah, Umi told us that dah boleh keluar rumah berdua!!!! So i begged Umi to take me out, i can help angkat2 barang dapur, or apa2 je but please please please bring me see the light of the day. " barang dapur pun dah habis, kalau dah boleh keluar berdua, ha jomlah esok pergi Ramly. " Sejak pkp ni, Papa je selalu beli barang dapur. Tapi since my father is working dengan something related to perhubungan, jadi masa PKP ni beliau sangat2 la diperlukan. Selamani, o/station 3 hari je, 3 hari kerja balik petang, and 1 hari cuti whole day (ya u might want to scream at me ha tengok pengorbanan sang ayah! ). Tapi PKP ni, dia kena o/station 4-5 hari and 1 hari cuti, 1 hari lagi balik time berbuka je & pergi kerja balik lepastu balik tengah malam.
