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 🌻

biggest mistake.

 23rd August.  I have no idea what's the silver lining -  definitely the shittiest thing that ever happened to me after my ex-crush likes somebody else. maybe, I got to write this entry and journal the worst episode of me, overthinking about how lovely it would be if it was him and me.   I'm currently at the beginning of my final weeks and suddenly today, my laptop decided to leave me for Hawaii. I met some of the university computer technicians and they legit don't want to take risk since my laptop is the newest among newest. like excuse me, I paid that for rm 5k with my OWN money as 10 years-road-to-advanced-architect investment. I picked from one of the famous brand of all  and only got to use it for 5 months?? are u kidding me like on my final week???? now my friends are rushing with their final submissions and I bet they're gonna finish it by the week, while me, waiting for my spare parts from Dell within 3 weeks since the laptop is made in Saudi - lik...

Give it a chance

 31st May 2026, It's supposedly cuti seminggu sebab Rayaji and somewhat bday Agong kot (Agong pls dun b offended kalau salah), tapi I had to balik ke UIA awal sebab gelabah lagi 2 minggu nak final. Hi there, it's me again, Raihana. To be honest I am really having my butt burning right now sebab masa gonna be sangat suntuk for me to finish the damn dissertation, design presentation and ethics. But tonite I think I'm just gonna sketch je kot. EEEE I cannot susun words rite now or even to think about it. But,  Give it a chance, Raihana, how cikgu2 sekolah kau dulu bg kau chance utk kau pidato masa sekolah rendah, then jadi best debater during sekolah menengah, lepast kau lead everything during your university... semua waktu yang kau rasa prime and rindu sangat tu, all started by giving chances to yourself from the first place..  Now, aku tahu you might feel sangat tak fit in taking tis masters. And malaikat jadi saksi how hard the journey for you so far.. Everyday kau pun da...

...a whut? Poem

I have no power to Stop somebody from hating me Nor the power to Stop somebody from loving me So why bother..? -R, 14th October 2019 The story behind the poem's title is my 1st reaction when i first heard what was really happening. What was the happening thangg? You'll ask. Well, this is one of the bizarre event of my life.. it's about a very bold man (i have to admit). at first, i was left puzzled in the hallway  but on 14th of October, everything was very clear to me. I was not very shocked as people thought me i should have.  Such a bold act, all i could describe. This poem is dedicated to what was happening on me and has nothing to do with everyone. I really appreciate your love for my blog and my writings as promised, my digital diary. But dang, i am too shyyy to write every single piece of my ages crocheted mind. I think a lot a daydreaming a lot! Whoever reads the poems in the blog  and wondering, keep on cause I do enjoy left people puzzled. ...
