The Adrenaline Abu Dhabi Desert Safari

 Salam. What I loved most about Abu Dhabi's trip was the Desert Safari. 
Adrenaline to the core. 


There were two groups of us in the jeep, 'representing' Britain and Malaysia. And the driver was from Pakistan. That made us a bunch of colonies, don't you think? A commonwealth group of peeps. LOL.

The SUV jeep

The driver was crazily a pro. Been doing it almost a decade, he said.

The pro driver was amused by a silly me, who was 'afraid' of the camels.

The winter had just started. I for once didn't have any idea the weather was gonna be freezing in the desert! Subhanallah.. Luckily I made a point of putting on a long john underneath. Or else I'd have turned into frost or something.
  

At the top of the desert we could see the moon at one end and the sun at the other.
I mean, how awesome could that be?


What a breathtaking view there in the desert. Masya Allah.


The sun set ever so beautifully upon us. Mesmerizing. What a privilege to have seen it.

Our fast-friends from Britain

The joyride took us to a remarkable 'oasis' further up. The food was ridiculously marvelous. Even the dates were out of this world. So delicious that I couldn't stop eating. I didn't really like the belly dancing segment but loved the music that they played nonetheless. Other tourists of course seemed to enjoy the shaking of the bon bon thing very much. I was the only hijabi but still the dancer persistently invited me on stage. She looked upset when I kept saying no politely. I did lots of head shaking for her, each and every time she approached me to join her. Well, she could shake her body all night long but all I was shaking was my head. LOL.

 It was such a lovely experience of a lifetime. Mere thought of it still made me smile. The memories lingered. Would definitely go again one day. For more info, log on  here

That's all for now, folks. Thanks for dropping by.
Much love, TPJ.

      It's quite funny, though.. All the guys who dress like Arabs are all Indians or Pakistanis.

Mematikan Setem Hasil Di Hadapan Pesuruhjaya Sumpah

Image
Assalamu’alaikum. Okay, dalam banyak-banyak perkara tentang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah, bab mematikan setem ni aku nak kongsi dengan korang semua. Kita buat dalam bentuk rumusan fakta sudah la, ya? 1- Setem Hasil: RM10 sekeping, beli kat mana2 pejabat pos. Ada sesetengah Pesuruhjaya Sumpah dah beli siap-siap, standby kat ofis kot-kot la orang datang berkehendakkannya. Tapi jangan kecewa, marah atau tak puas hati kalau takde tau, sebab itu bukan tanggungjawab dia. Kira value-added service. 2- Dokumen apa yang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah boleh matikan setem hasil ni? Bukan semua dokumen, ya, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan. TIGA jenis je pun:  -i- Afidavit;  -ii- Surat Akuan Berkanun (a.k.a Akuan Sumpah); atau -iii- Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis.  Dengan syarat Afidavit, Surat Akuan Berkanun dan Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis itu ditandatangani dan diangkat sumpah di hadapannya. 3- Cara mematikan setem, takde cop2 bulat bagai macam kat LHDN tu, ya... kena buat dua palang kat lua...

Dress Code Peguam Muslimah

Image
Assalamu’alaikum. Kali ni aku nak cerita pasal dress code bagi peguam syari’e di negara tercinta kita, Malaysia. Straight forward je sebenarnya:  1- Bertudung putih/kelabu; 2- Berbaju warna gelap, berkain hitam; 3- Blazer berwarna hitam; dan 4- Jubah khas (kes di hadapan hakim Mahkamah Tinggi & Rayuan). Pendek kata, itulah warna asas selagi mana menjadi peguam: MONOCHROME to the max! Majoriti peguam syari’e wanita lebih selesa memilih untuk memakai sepasang baju kurung berwarna ataupun bernada hitam. Macam aku pulak tengok mood, ada masanya lengkap 1 sut blazer dan skirt labuh, dipadankan dengan blaus putih/hitam paras bumper. Ada masanya aku pakai baju kurung macam orang lain, ye la ikut mana yang sesuai dengan kehendak hati.  Dulu kami tak boleh pakai tudung lain kecuali warna putih, punyalah bosan tahap cipan hari-hari macam kaler taik cicak. Sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni, Arahan Amalan Mahkamah Shariah dah perluaskan kebenaran warna kepada kelabu. Barulah ada va...

Onak, Duri & Ranjau Kehidupan

Hidup tak selalunya indah. Adat la, langit pun tak selalunya cerah. Penuh cerita suka dan padat cerita duka. Itu la pun yang mewarnai kehidupan.  Lumrahnya, semua orang nak selalu bahagia, kalau boleh. Tak mau ada duka ataupun air mata. Nak ketawa dan bergembira sentiasa. Tapi hakikatnya berbeza. Harapan lain. Kenyataannya lain. Takde pilihan pun sebenarnya, mau tak mau kena telan, kena terima apa adanya. Yang mendewasakan kita itu la dia.  Kadang-kadang kepedihan yang kita rasa macam tak mungkin ada hujungnya. Itu tahap pertama. Pada permulaannya. Disebabkan tak ada pilihan, kita tetap melangkah. Ya, mungkin longlai. Mungkin juga bagai tak jejak kaki ke bumi. Tapi masih perlu terus melangkah. Dan melangkah. Tanpa sedar, kepedihan itu kian menipis. Hari berganti hari. Bulan berganti bulan. Tahun berganti tahun. Waktu akan memulihkan. Percayalah. Apa yang paling penting adalah kekuatan jiwa. Tanpa itu, hampir mustahil untuk mengawal perasaan, apa lagi keadaan. Carilah ap...
