korea

 

no, i'm not a fan of kpop or korean dramas etc etc :)

alhamdulillah, He gave me the chance to put my feet on korean ground.

thanks to abg Is & kak Fidah.

thanks to father.

arrived around 5.30 or 5.45 at Incheon Airport.

more pictures on FB :)

N Seoul Tower, Hanok Village, Skadi Ski Resort, Children's Grand Park, Seoul Land, Itaewon.

didn't really come up with a good planning so we kinda missed out some other nice places like Jeju, Nami, Everland, Insadong, Gyeongbok Palace etc etc.

Masjid at Itaewon.

The best place to be at.

Arrived here exactly at Maghrib.

Alhamdulillah after the prayer, there was a small makan2 - Nasi + gulai daging.

Sejenak terfikir...oh how sweet Ar-Rahman ^_^

that must be His indirect 'gift' for us upon our arrival at His place.

masha-Allah

and and...it happens to be at the women's area there's a plastic bag full of children clothes somebody put there for sedekah and a muslim korean lady offered to me some for my nieces.

again alhamdulillah...alhamdulillah...

and oh yea, the muslim korean lady, Maryam Lee :)
masha-Allah, so glad to know her.

after chatting with her then only we know there's Everland. haha

and that one of the best thing to shop at Korea is cosmetics!

all the Missha, Face Shop, Skin Food~

and she asked me "you come here with your husband?"
*that awkward moment. i dunno how to feel*

i just said no and introduced my sis-in-law.

and tadaa, she asked me, "you're not married yet?? how old are you?".

No and I'm 21 :)

kata mama, dah orang korea pun tanya macam tu, takleh la bujang lama2.

hewhewhew :P

bak kata The Bent Pencil, a writer in Terfaktab,

Sebenarnya kalau saya nak memang boleh pun saya kahwin esok. Lusa, tulat, tahun ini, tahun hadapan. Tapi jodoh ni bukan “kalau saya nak”, sebaliknya “kalau Allah nak.”

anyhow, life's not all about finding that missing part...

....but who can deny the yearn to feel and be complete (in that sense). fitrah what.

ah, enuf enuf bout this~ dahh lari tajuk :D

well there's so much more to say, dah tak reti nak put into words..haha..

alhamdulillah, get to capture bunch of beautiful scenery of korean sun and more. 

and nothing more i can say except subhanallah. 

all praise be to The Creator. 

this is such a beautiful photo. sayangnye satu, kak fidah yang jadi photographer.

and ohh lupa nak tulis yesterday...masa dekat masjid there were few other muslim korean ladies.

the best part is bila cakap dengan diorang, they call me 'sister' (fenomena yang seriously jarang berlaku di sini). *hati berbunga-bunga* yaaa, sesungguhnya muslim dan muslim adalah bersaudara :D betapa beautiful Islam itu. betapa beautiful ukhuwwah itu. betapa beautiful perasaaan tertautnya hati kerana faith, kerana sama-sama sujud pada Dia Yang Maha Esa. and regarding the korean sisters,  masha-Allah, their attire, boleh kata so nicely covering the aurah. despite being in a non-muslim country, despite being the minority...masha-Allah. termalu seketika me that time since I had skinny jeans on sebab pakai boots (tapi kira not so bad la (kowt) sebab i had long winter coat on 0.o) but still...that was like a reminder to me - i could've put on something better, memang silap giler attire haritu. kira awesome giler they all, despite smua tu and despite winter season, boleh sajaa pakai something yang labuh and loose. teringat old times, weather malaysia dah sangat alhamdulillah okay untuk put on long loose clothes tapi..pilihan pakaian...=.=""" sumpah malu dengan diri sendiri, dan of course lagi la malu dengan Tuhan. tutup aurah itu paling awesome. dan pakaian yang kira superthebest adalah pakaian taqwa as mentioned in the al-Quran. oh dear self, tolong ingat ye :)

ps - brought contengan jalanan as teman dalam kapal terbang. tetiba rasa teringin nak pergi backpacking macam fend & k2 :D
