MH17 IN MEMORY
August 22, 2014
Today is Friday, the most blessing day,
and I'm in the UK,
It's raining now, but not too heavy,
I still can walk through it, without worrying of drenched,
I look fine, but my heart is mourning.
Today, the remains of MH17 tragedy are brought back to where they belong, Malaysia…
They have been awaited, not with smiling or laughing,
But with tears painfully pouring,
To the bereaved families, deep unease we share your grief feeling.
MH17, the second aviation tragedy occurred to our country,
MH370 hasn’t yet forgotten, yet another disaster, hit savagely
It didn’t take long, it is just four months; and people are still in shocked, unfortunately…
The mystery of MH370 and the misery of MH17,
They remain intertwined, in the name of Malaysian sorrowing,
And people are questioning on what is actually happening,
No words suffice to express this horrible feeling...
It is more perplexed than what you have ever thinking…
But there is one thing.. For us to think…
It’s the final and it’s the ending…
It’s a death that we are fearing.
For death is our final destiny…
Hence,
Till life leaves us apart,
Till time still ticking,
Till heart still pounding,
Till eyes still blinking,
Till breath still breathing,
Till door of repent still opening,
Till that moment, let's give the best in our life,
For the sake of Allah's pleasure
Not for others but it's for ours.
Al Fatihah and RIP #MH17

Eiffel Tower, Paris
Eiffel Tower in Paris.
February 2014
Paris is listed among the most popular destinations in the world. This romantic city is well known with Eiffel Tower, the most recognizable architectural landmarks of Paris and the famous symbol of France. We’ve been there! With Allah’s will. Date: February 2014. This is definitely one of our lifetime memories. A good memory? I will say..good experience to share, indeed.
Where should I start? Let us know the brief facts first. Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and was inaugurated in 1889 after the architecture’s name Monsieur Eiffel. On the second floor, there is a famous restaurant and of course it's not for the people like us (or me, exactly!). You can enjoy the view of the city from the tower, but you need to line up for the ticket first and get up there using the elevator or stair. I don’t know the ticket price (I had not guts to know it!) but I saw people queued almost a mile just to buy the ticket.
Reaching the dream place of others (not my dream place… ) just like a fantasy! I never imagined I would be able to reach that place... But fortuitously (ahaks!), we were there! And it was a nice experience to share, I reckon. Unfortunately, I couldn’t grasp the romantical feeling that this city offered with the crowded people buzzing around. Nevertheless, we still busy taking pictures and at the same time watch over our four kids who like to run everywhere.
People said that the view at night is magnificent, but with the limitation of time we were not able to stay any longer or to come back again even though it’s just only half an hour from our place. So we just enjoyed the night view through (via) the internet and we totally admitted that it is cool!
INFO! Finding a parking space was not difficult. There are a lot of available parking spaces nearby.
FACT! But one thing that you should take seriously is to watch out for pickpocket when visiting the Eiffel Tower. This phenomenon had flawed the image of this place. They are everywhere and very professional. I’ve heard quite a lot of stories about it and my friend also experienced the same thing, alas he lost 500 pounds on his trip to Paris.
Pickpockets at Eiffel Tower are a cruel reality that visitors need to deal with. Keep your eyes open and you will be very surprised to see how they can easily complete their mission. Thieves, pickpockets and scams are everywhere at the base of the Eiffel Tower. They are just waiting for the right time to start their move. So, please beware!
During our short stay/visit at the base, we were approached by the group of woman individually (I think- there’s no man in this group as I recalled) for many times, asking if we speak English? I was told to ignore them and just waving when they approach. That’s what we did (I thought!). Unfortunately, I just couldn’t believe my eyes when my husband who kept warning me about them suddenly was discovered signing the form given by one lady from the group. I asked him with a smirk look, “What’s wrong with you, you’ve been hypnotized?” “Just signing and give her 20p.. Then she will leave.. “ He replied confidently. But that’s not even TRUE!. That lady asked for more when my husband gave her 2 euro! She asked for 20 euro! What??? I said “NO!” But she insisted and she’d been annoyed because she’s not getting what she wanted. Eventually she had to accept with 2 Euro that supposed to be only 20p initially, the amount she agreed before my husband willing to sign the form.
According to my friend, they fold the part of the form which stated that the minimum donation is actually 20 Euro when they asked you to sign. Even though at first they agreed with 20p or any amount that you tell, but then they will claim that the minimum amount is supposed to be 20 euro, as stated on the form. So what should you do? It is best to simply ignore and keep walking. Watch out your bag and stay in your group!
Those people were very annoying. Begging you for money without feeling shame, urge you to give money and if you refuse to answer them or give them only a small amount of money, they can shout at you. I should not waste my time thinking about them. They say, however, never bluff a bluffer- so bluff back. Tell him you know that it’s a scam, and that’s precisely why they’re being dumped. Pls look the below picture, while we busy taking pictures, this lady approached us and asked whether we can speak English. Desperate action to ask for money in the name of donation. 'Bikin panas je'. She was holding a paper, some part of it was folded (as informed earlier) and then ask you to write your name and sign, ostensible to support their charity work. Right after you sign the form, instantly she will ask you the money. So many of them until I felt so weary to stay much longer.
Just imagine how much money they can earn at the end of the day with thousand of tourists at the base and I believe it happens every day. I wish I can just enjoy the view, but I couldn't. My apprehension grew when I observing them wandering around looking for the next victims and you'll feel insecure about that. I don’t feel I want to come back to this place. Enough with this trip. Once in a life time. I’m done!
anyway i feel honoured to share some pictures with my beloved family in Paris
Opps.. I should withhold my stand, there is a high probability I will be there again, wandering around at the base of Eiffel Tower. My FIL made a special request to have a tour in Paris during his visit to the UK this October. I couldn’t afford to disappoint him. Just wait and see! Ooo .. Eiffel Tower, Paris.. indah khabar dari rupamu…
