I am here.
The Kaabah
Yes. I mean I AM here.
ilyani and the Kaabah
Arrived in Jeddah airport 10pm local time on Thursday, and right now I have been in Makkah for almost one week. I can’t write much now coz the internet in this hotel is damn expensive, though I can get online on my mobile via Saudi’s Mobily (it’s much reliable than Celcom broadband, sigh) to check my emails and write on WordPress, I can’t upload pictures with mobile! (or maybe there’s a way, but I have yet to find out). And apart of the glorious Masjidil Haram itself, and the Kaabah, I am endlessly amazed by bunch of people here, we’re getting 2millions or more filling up Makkah by this day and the number is increasing like crazy.. people are still coming from every angle of the world until the Hajj session starts which will be a few days before Eid. Every prayer time those 4 floors are always full and even the mosque yards and on the street are full with people praying, it’s like real HUGE feast and even though you don’t like crowds but THIS crowd is like pure heaven! I am glad I am in the middle of this busy Holy city in this particular time. Alhamdulillah.
I want to write more and put more pictures but I don’t have much time I have to run. See yeh.

This is my another attempt to write in this blog using the mobile, last time the post didnt turn up (ugh!) but I hope this time should be okay.
I am only 50% ready for Hajj, or maybe less than that. But nevermind, I am going anyway. And I am excited about it!
Danas neko je ovdje da vidi me! Ko je to? Guess lah :P I ja sam puno puno stretna :) On je nedostajeo mi like crazy, divno je da smo mogli da opet se vidimo. Hvala Allahu.

At 7:15pm. My neighborhood isn't very fancy-looking, but at least at this particular time you can see a pretty sky.
This morning I had a phone interview with Intel Penang. It was lousy, I was talking almost craps and couldn’t think much anything to answer properly. They had called me ealier some time last week so in fact I had a few days to prepare for the interview, but I didn’t. And at 9:30am today they were talking to me probably assuming I was sitting on the computer in my office in KL, like I wrote in my application, while actually I was (and I am) 500km away, at home, in a comfy bed, half-asleep and wondering if I was really doing a job interview or just a mere dream. I don’t know if I am actually in the mood of looking for a new job, though these days I somehow did apply a few places with hopes that I will not be jobless by the time I return from Makkah in January. I am afraid I can’t have much hope anymore in finding jobs. God will not help me again, I am almost sure about that.

At least I can guess what Postcrossers do when they’re unhappy. They tag more in forum, write and send more postcards, make themselves busy arranging postcards, and oh, uploading postcards pictures on the new Postcrossing wall too! So they somehow have reason to be happy for a while.
And some of my friends, close friends, are getting married this December. So everyone starts getting married this year, it seems. I am glad in December I will be away from this country so I don’t need to attend the weddings. Thanks for the invitation, anyway :)
