Umrah Part 2

Assalamualaikum.

We were in Makkah for 5 days if I remember correctly. It was 5 days that I'd rewind it back if I could. The first day we're like still finding our ways around Makkah. But after a while, it has been el nature for the two of us. Alhamdulillah in this first trip to Makkah, we got to do a couple of umrah, 3 to be precise. If you intended to your umrah slow and steady, you ought to do them during dhuha time. Around an hour or so after subuh right after zuhur. Because for me that's when it's the least people around the Masjidil Haram. Once I got to do tawaf for like 20 minutes or so during dhuha time. That's quite impossible to achieve in the peak hours, I'll say it's from Zuhur to Isya'. Even after Isya' hundreds  of people were still all over the Masjid.

Our umrah package includes meals throughout our days both in Madinah and Makkah. So that way we could focus on optimizing our time for seeking Allah's pleasure. Anyway I don't know about anyone else in our Rayhar package, but  ohh boy did the food on Madinah or Makkah was amazing or what haha. It's a rare thing for me to eat only once during any meal time. One time tambah is the way to go for me hehe. I eat so much back then that one of Rayhar officials reckon I didn't miss Malaysia at all. L to the O to the L.

Bismillah.

Looking back at our marriage back when we were 22 years old, so many things have changed. Ohh I remember back then when I was so lack of common sense that the common theme of our arguments would be for the lack of my common sense. And I'd say till this day, but maybe down a tad bit, yes? Hehe. I would go further telling you what has changed for me but I would save that for other people to tell. Now what I want to tell you is how my partner has changed, far more interesting, yes?

First off, at the beginning of our marriage, my wife was kind of scared with my big family as most of them were.. socially active I would say. I for one completely understand as it can be intimidating for her to interact people like my family since she's can be a little bit shy being with people whom she's not familiar with. But now she can click quite a bit with other members of the family. And that make me happy. We family meet quite a lot so it's great for her to be comfortable.
