Our umrah journey started with a delayed flight for 2.5 hrs. Saudi Arabia Airlines flight KUL to Jeddah was suppose to take off at 3.00 but took off at 5.30pm. Is this a sign? “Ya Allah,…permudahkan urusan kami…permudahkan perjalanan kami. Jangan kau uji kami dengan dugaan yang tak mampu kami tanggung.” Well, must remain positive. Dugaan kecil sahaja. Just enjoyed the moment.
Before we took off, we were to wait at the departure hall before finally boarding the plane…well another security check point… …scanned our hand luggage…and hey news flash!!!! no water, fluid into the plane…whatever u have in the bag, drink it all. Just bought a 750ml mineral water, throw it or, yup….drink it all before boarding…me and my sis had to finish it all between giggles that is…glug, glug, glug…lepas tu …bila jalan berkocak perut….hehehehe…
Slept for the 1st 2 hours of the journey. Lepas tu terlelap sekali sekala. Buat la revision le sket hafal doa2 apa yang patut. The meals on board…well, have tasted better. But, no complaints. Alhamdulillah, rezeki malam tu.
After the meal, terlelap kejap…tetiber, dengar comotion? What?...ada 2 mamat arab bertumbuk about 10 rows away from us. Hey action drama! Wow, they really swing their punches.. the stewardess was running looking for help, soon after a steward was running to the scene and both were separated. Phew!!!..One of them was taken to the business class. Ok le…lepas bertumbuk, dapat masuk business class. The other man…remain at the same seat.
We arrived at Jeddah International Airport at 1.50 am (Malaysia time) or 8.50 pm local time. How long was the flight? 8 hrs 15 minutes. Di Jeddah, filling in the disembarcation form, smooth immigration. We were greeted by the THTS and was ushered to the coaster which will ferry us to Madinah. Kira berapa orang…dah cukup? Mana lagi 5 orang? 1½ jam tunggu, rupanya…kes beg hilang. Alahai….senyap je la. Jgn complaint. Masalah org lain lagi teruk. Beg hilang. Kita setakat tunggu je. Naik coaster for the next 5 hours. Stop for Isyak and dinner. Sejuk juga kat desert ni. Makan nasi ayam mandi tengah2 malam...ish...tersekak tekak. Sampai di Madinah at 4.30am, dah nak subuh.
