Iftar at Masjid Makmuriah Sungai Besar

We arrived Sungai Besar and checked into Hotel Kompit before proceeding to Masjid Makmuriah for our Iftar and Teraweeh prayers. Alhamdulillah.

I forgot to take a picture during Iftar with the other ladies here.  Iftar was served the old fashion way, ie. tudung sajis were used to cover the food served on dulangs.  No buffet here.  So, four ladies to each dulang.  Since I bought Nasi Ambeng at the Bazar Ramadan in Sungai Besar town, I shared the Nasi Ambeng with the other ladies too. Alhamdulillah.

After solat Maghrib, when I need to take ablution again, I was very impressed with the cleanliness and stench free ladies toilet and also the ablution area.  Kudos to the AJK Masjid Makmuriah.

We returned to the hotel after Teraweeh and had our supper in our room.  We ate the kuihs which I bought at the bazar in Sungai Besar, Alhamdulillah.

(Hubby took this selfie and here is the plastic blue tudung saji and the food served in the dulang)

Ikram's Nikah Ceremony

We left Sg Besar after laling finished his work.  It rained all the way home.  Then, when we arrived home, it was almost Maghrib.  Since it was still raining, laling decided not to attend Ikram's nikah ceremony at Taman Melawati. So Khairul was our representative at the ceremony.  He rode his motorbike in the rain but arrived safe and sound at the venue.  Alhamdullilah.

Congratulations Ikram and his bride.  May your marriage life be full of happiness  and with Allah's blessing.  Amiinn.

The wedding reception will be held in Bangi, In shaa Allah, Sunday October 1 2017.

Hotel Kompit Sg Besar

Khairul drove me to Sg Jerneh MRT station for my trip to Tanjong Malim.  I alighted at KL Central and took KTM Commuter to Tanjong Malim. When I arrived at KTM Tanjong Malim, I waited for laling to fetch me.

When he finally arrived we drove to Sungei Besar.  As usual, as we passed Sg Panjang, I was hoping that the Pakcik who sells fresh mata kuching is at his stall by the roadside.  Alhamdulillah, laling managed to buy two kilos of fresh mata kuching. Yummy!

We checked into Kompit Hotel after having our dinner at one of the Tom Yam restaurant in Sungei Besar. 

Hotel Kompit (Budget Hotel) @ Sg Besar

This hotel serves free breakfast on weekdays. Why only on weekdays? According to its front desk staff, on weekdays are mostly business travellers, because they got up early and have time for breakfast. Their breakfast were sponsored by the co-operative members.

On weekends are mostly families on holiday or rombongan pengantin and they usually missed their breakfast or have it elsewhere.

Breakfast menu when I was there, nasi lemak bungkus or mee hoon goring bungkus, toasted bread with kaya or butter. Black coffee or tea.

But then if hungry at night can buy burger at the stall infront of the hotel.

Train to Rawang

Sofiyah followed Khairul on his 'tour of duty' running errands for hubby and I too.  He will also be visiting my mak and abah to deliver mak's Ensure and pampers, and also lunch which I have cooked for them.  As for me, I will travel to Rawang to meet my date. 🤗

Since there was no one to send me to the commuter station I called Kajang Taxi to drive me from home to the station. I was astounded when the trip would cost me RM15 for a 1.6km journey.

So I called GRAB and booked a car for my trip to KL Central instead. The fare is only RM33. If I charter a Kajang taxi the fare is RM60. 😲

When I confirmed my GRAB booking, it said a car will arrive in two minutes. Aiyooo.....so fast ah? I quickly got ready but before I could wear my veil the phone rang.  It was the GRAB driver. He told me he was at house No.3. I told him wrong house. So I directed him to my front gate. 😆

So I got into the MyVi's front passenger seat. The journey to KL central was smooth. Had small talk with the driver. Married with one child. Wife stay home mom. Retrenched from an oil and gas firm in Labuan after being promoted from Singapore. Survive on VSS. Applied for other jobs. Whilst waiting did GRAB.

When I reached KL Central rushed to KTM Commuter at platform three and waited for train to Rawang. But...the train halted at Sg Buloh station and all passengers disembarked to wait for the next train to Rawang. The train arrived half an hour later and we continued our journey.

I finally reached Rawang train station fifteen minutes later. Hubby was already waiting for me outside the station. We then drove towards Sungai Besar exiting at toll Bkt Tagar where I had solat Asar.

When we reached Sungai Besar ot was already Maghrib. So we has our solat jamaq Maghrib and Eshaq at the Masjid near Sungai Besar town.

After solat we had our dinner at a Tom Yam restaurant in Sungai Besar. Whatelse is there except tom yam restaurants here, there, everywhere......sigh...

We then check in at Hotel Kompit. What a strange name.....well, thats another story. Goodnight...
