We left Seville for Granada around 5.40pm and we arrived around 9pm.. After checking in at the Alojamiento Backpackers Posada de Colon Hostel, we went to have our dinner with our Japanese friend that we met at the hostel.  All of us had Paella de Marisco... a signature dish from Spain.. i love it actually although it taste quite strange at first.. maybe because of the rice... It's just different from the rice that we usually eat..
The famous attraction in Granada is the Alhambra and Albaicin... We went to Albaicin first.. there we saw the view of Alhambra... there are also lots of museums there but we did not enter them.. After that we went to Alhambra..  i loved the place very much.. the castles shows Islamic architecture and that's what interesting about this place.. it's different from any other places in Europe.. the architecture in Nastrid Palace is just wonderful.. 
I've attached the pictures of Granada for you all...

EuroTrip - Seville (21st June 2005)
|
|
Okay.. now i will continue with the EuroTrip pictures...
We arrived in Seville around 11pm on the 20th of June... near to midnight i think... After having a good night sleep, we went to tour Seville city by foot... 
Seville is just a small town.. with it's own strong culture and a lot of "antique" buildings...  we had tapas for our break... and the lemonade here taste good too....
Ooh... I need to add something actually... sebenarnya harini genap 15 tahun arwah nenek saya (my father's mom), Sarah bt. Dumin kembali ke rahmatullah... I was 8 that time.. I can't really recall much about her.. but i do remember how she looks like.. She used to ask me to pull her grey hair... And she made delicious kuih koci too.. She will always packed some for us to bring back home if we went back to kampung.. and of course she would cry everytime we want to leave.. I do miss her.. and i know everyone in the family do... Nobody can replace her...
Ya Allah, tempat kan lah nendaku di kalangan umat-umatMu yang beriman... Amin..
To you all, i would appreciate it very much if you'd 'sedekahkan' Fatihah for my late grandma... Al-fatihah...
Nothing more to share... just the uploaded photos.... Enjoy!

Yay Yay!!  At last, fotopages has gone back to normal.. but today i will not continue with the EuroTrip story though.. because i have something more special than that.... 
You guys... after reading the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.. i fell in love with it.. Iylia gave me the free No 5 book that she got from Eason..  and I bought the 1st four books.. so, I have a complete collection of Harry Potter's book!! All six!!! Yay... Yay... But thinking about the next book, it will like cost me a fortune to buy it from Malaysia...  Iylia said that 5th book cost around RM 89.90.. tapi takpe takpe... at least now I have something to look forward to... hehehe...
Back to the special something... Today is my sister's birthday... my one and only baby sister... She turns 19 today... eventhough i still feel like she's only a little girl... Happy Birthday Baby!! 
My sister's name is Izza Izzati Iffah Idris... She's studying in UiTM, taking Business Studies (Insurance)... We are always "separated" actually... I started studying in boarding school when i was in form 4. Then, when I was in form 5, she started her secondary school in SMSS (a boarding school also)... but i am the one that always visited her during her school days ... after that i went to study in Dublin.. leaving her with the rest of the family... 
We always cherish each other and we also always make each other's world like hell...  hehehe.. Eventhough we always fight when we're together,  she's still my one and only sis and i do love her so much...
So Baby, Have a good birthday..  and i hope you'll have a very wonderful year ahead... sorry no present this year though... heheh... I'll make up to you later ok!! I love you!!

Selamat "Berkenalan" Hairil !!
|
|
Well, i can't really upload my pictures during my holiday.. arghh...  it's just frustrating.. Selalu ke jadi macam ni kat fotopages ni?? "Hardware maintenance" ni lama la plak ek... It has been like 3 days i tried to upload the pictures... Tapi takpe laa... nak wat cemana... kita tunggu je la ek !
I don't really have any story to share with you guys... So, just hear me bubbling for a while ok!!
Today actually is one of the most "historical" day in my life... at the same date 2 years ago, i "met" my significant other kind of for the "first" time... hehehe... The best thing is that we just clicked... and all of the sudden i felt like i was on cloud 9 ... even now i feel like that... love works in its own crazy and strange way isn't it??  ..
So, to my beloved... I hope we will cherish every single moment we have in our lives... Eventough you are far far away from me, you are always here in my heart... I love and miss you so much...

As promised, Madrid...
Well, we took a night train to Madrid.. we left Lisboa Santa Apolonia Estacion around 10pm and we're supposed to reach Madrid around 9am.. But around 6.00am, the "train attendant" came to our "Sleeper Cabin" and said "We have some problem with the train and you need to pack your belongings and get off the train in 10 minutes! We will........ ect ect"...  She said something else but i was too tense to hear.. 10 minutes??!! We were sleeping for god sake!!... Hmm but at last we did reach Madrid safely... the "train people" had set up busses for us to go to Madrid...  but of course we are off the schedule...
The weather in Madrid was way way up the termometer... around 40 degrees... i've never remember buying 2 large soft drinks in McDonalds up to 3 times a day...  It's just damn hot!!! I don't think i suffer that much in Malaysia..
The first day in Madrid, we just go round the city and went to see the bull fighting... What can i say about the bull fight??! When Weda said that in Madrid we can see bullfight, i was exited..  i thought it's something like rodeo.. where people will try to stay as long as they can on the "crazy" bull.. but when Weda said that the Bull will be killed, i kind of hesitate to go...  but i went just for the sake of it.. it's not everyday that i can visit Madrid again, do i??
When we queued to buy the ticket for the bull fight, we asked the guy that were queing with us about the price..
Then he asked us "Is this your first time to see bull fighting??".
I said "Yes..."
He smiled and said "Ooohh.. You'll suffer!! You will enjoy it... but you'll suffer.."
I can see Weda's face changed... Me myself was gulping.. Suffer??!!  Do i want to go through this?? We bought the ticket for 21.50 euro.. The show started at 7pm till 9pm... I've included some of the bull fight pictures for your viewing.. but if you want to know further stories about the bull fight, go and see Weda's fotopage... she had wrote everything in detail.. and the pictures are great too!! http://stiffhands.fotopages.com
The second day, we went touring the city again.. We visited Hard Rock Cafe Madrid, ReadMadrid FC and many other places.. We should be going to Cordoba that very evening but we cancelled as we all think that we should spend more time in Madrid.. and we did not regret the decision...
So you guys, enjoy the pictures... The next entry will be Seville....

Hola Everybody... I've forgotten that now is Saturday night, the so called "Akademi Fantasia night" in Malaysia right now... 
Well, I just called Hairil and he's busy watching Akademi Fantasia (AF). I don't want to disturb him so i called my brother, Adra.. He too was busy watching AF... and then i called my sister, Izza... And guess what?? She also said "Along, ko kol la aku jap lagi.. dalam kul 11 ke ek?? Aku nak tengok AF ni.. Ko ni kacau la...." 
So, who should i call now?? I called my parents, but they were having their dinner in some Family Day function in PD... So, I'm left all alone, talking to myself... hmmm... As they are in front of the tv, enjoying themselves with the programme, i'm sitting all alone (not all alone actually because my room mate is here with me...) but you know, sitting all alone, doing nothing.. having lunch... watching tv... damn my life is boring... 
Oh yes... i have something to do actually... ... Last night, i mean early this morning (16 July at 12.00 am) Harry Potter's latest story book (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) are out for sale... I'm not that big of Harry Potter's books fan as my 2 housemates are... they were out from 11 last night to go and queue in front of Eason Bookstore in O'connell Street.. Well, i think for 12.99 euro, it is worth it to get the book.. Plus they got Harry Potter The Order of the Pheonix for free... it's a good bargain... i manage to get my room mate to buy me the latest book but pity me i did not get the free book... But never mind.. at least i have something to read now.. but i'm starting from the 1st book... Iylia has a collection of Harry Potter's book.. so i hope i won't be bored anymore.. just for now... hopefully.....
As for the photos, this is the 1st batch of photos that me and my friends manage to capture during our first few months (2003) in Dublin... Masa muda2 dulu... mwahahaha.... Just wanna share with you guys some of it... So, enjoy the pictures.....
