i'm back!

back from internet-less life [cut off for one week!! ughh..not just mine, the whole country! yet some manage to online eyh..weird..] and back from the luxury-ness of Cairo!
yes i admit i am broke for the time being. i'm kinda thankful
that i'm placed in Mansoura, rather than Cairo. Cuz i can't imagine the amount of money i'll be pouring out if i stayed in Cairo.

YES. POURING.

Five days we stayed in Cairo. Mostly shopping and sight seeing. And for the first time! i finally get to step into the famous Qala'ah a.k.a Citadel! haha. not bad la. kinda cool to go somewhere historical here in Egypt [bangga dengan Sultan Salahuddin.huhu!]

owh and its book fair time! the time where everybody spends hundreds of bucks on BOOKS. yes, me too. my money burnt mostly on medical books. isk. owh. and i found this book!

hehe. i wanted to buy it but i'm just gonna make Aishah more pissed. so i didn't. haha

Cairo is much much colder than Mansoura! OMG. My housemates was bragging about my oh-so-nipis coat (lawa ok coat tu. tapi sial nipis) therefore, i HAD to buy a new jacket just to keep me warm..ughh (pokai-ness) with the help of Kak Adlina! the pregnant 5th year medical student. hahaha. of course she's married! thanks akak for helpin me out! without her, i might get cyanosis and hypothermia. ~~~

The 1st thing that pops in my head when i reached cairo, was DEFINITELY food. nothing else. just FOOD. starbucks, McD, coffee bean, cilantro, cinnabon, hardeez, baskin robbins, which i don't mind spending my money on. Kat cairo sempat jugak menjamah masakan-masakan melayu yang sangatlah oh-s0-heaven~~ ada gak restoran melayu kat cairo! tabik ar kat pakcik tu~ its not everyday you get to eat the REAL malay fo0d in Egypt! huhu. speaking of food, don't ever eat the sushis or teriyaki or watever japanese food here cuz the Egyptians dunno how to make 'em!!
bak kata Kak Adlina.. "rasa macam plastik"
its hell expensive! but they taste like crap.ughh. what a waste of money!!


last day in cairo, after sending Ja at the airport (siot ar ko balik jeddah. jeles aku!!), we went to the malaysian hall and guess who i met.. Haninah! haha. after 4 years.. 4 years!! isk.. finally dapat jumpa minah from jordan ni. heee. (fitrah jeles. haha)

yes it was tiring and exhausting and pokai-ing.. yet i had hellavafun! weee~

ma'rod kutub . where you can find ANY books you need.
