The Golden Triangle

ehem, baru sekarang nak update? sikit lagi cerita nak basi -,- anyway, better late than never kan? okay tak tahu nak start daripada mana sebab banyak sangat nak cerita. EH TAK UPDATE PUN PASAL OIC?! er, lepas ni la. i kan sangat busy.. *alasan* lagipun it's been 3 days i diarrhea - ber** dan muntah-muntah and deman T__T

okay tak kisah la i sakit ke apa (redha) sekarang kena cerita jugak what happened during the last holidays. so what is this Golden Triangle? (rasa macam pernah cerita tapi tak apa cerita lagi sekali) it represents Delhi-Jaipur-Agra, kalau pergi Delhi mesti kena pergi the other 2 places and jarak between these 3 places are the same which is 5 hours -,-

mula-mula i macam tak nak pergi tau sebab the ticket flight is quite costly for a domestic flight tapiiii sebab most of the girls pergi takkan la nak tinggal sini sorang-sorang makanya i pergi dengan rela hati hiks tapi tak menyesal pergi serius, tak tipu. kitorang pergi 19 orang perempuan under package apa entah yang include hotels, breakfast, bas dan tourist guide. the package is quite affordable sebenarnya cuma terkilan sikit makanan tak sedap sangat. mungkin peluang untuk kurangkan makan? T__T

mula-mula sampai Delhi terus check in hotel sampai-sampai lapar gila makan segala benda yang ada (Alya dengan Intan bawak nasi goreng yeay!) dan terus tidur. awal-awal pagi terus gerak pergi Jaipur, lama jugak jalan. yeah, 5 hours kot.. sampai je terus pergi Amer (or Amber) Fort. nama je "fort" tapi sebenanya it's a palace. besar gilaaaa okay, too bad kitorang tak cukup masa nak explore seluruh fort sebab tutup sempena Asyura celebration. oh, Muslim kat India sambut Asyura besar-besaran (kalau kita puasa je kan?) gila meriah kot and i actually a bit scary..

anyway, lepas pergi Amer Fort kitorang jalan-jalan tengok Wind Palace, Water Palace and Pink City. Pink City sounds interesting kan? actually not haha sebab it is simply a city di mana most of the buildings are painted with pink colour. ceritanya macam ni, ada seorang raja yang i mesti la lupa apa nama dia nak sambut kedatangan putera daripada England so he must be so excited to see "mat salleh" for the first time haha so he painted all the buidings pink! gila orang banyak duit memang suka buat kerja pelik-pelik -,-

esoknya kitorang gerak pergi Agra! since kitorang bertolak dalam tengahari macam tu (sebab shopping heh) so sampai Agra malam so sampai terus tidur. pagi esoknya baru pergi Taj Mahal! Taj Mahal sangat cantik, berapa kali entah i cakap "Subhanallah cantiknyaaa" i bet everyone would say the same thing :") tahu kan cerita Shah Jehan dan Mumtaz? kalau tahu diam je sebab i nak cerita jugak. Shah Jehan sebenarnya ada EMPAT isteri. yeah yeah, that disappointed me a little.. anyway, dia paling sayangg Mumtaz sebab she is his own choice. the other wives were meant for political relationship je. Mumtaz sangat cantik and they met at a gem market. they got married afterwards and got 14 children! too bad Mumtaz meninggal umur 30-an sebab tak ada perancangan keluarga and 7 of their children pun tak survive. sedih kan? bila Mumtaz meninggal, dia mintak 3 perkara dengan Shah Jehan; (1) build a monument as a prove for their love (alolooo sweet sangatt), (2) take care of their daughters and (3) NEVER REMARRIED! and he never did :)

panjang lagi cerita sebenarnya tapi tak nak la korang bosan tiba-tiba belajar sejarah dunia kat sini -,-

lepas pergi Taj Mahal kitorang pergi Agra Fort, which is Shah Jehan's father's palace. cantik gila tempat ni, tapi dah banyak rosak sebab British dengki and rosakkan keindahan tempat tu?! sayang.

back to Delhi, kitorang pergi masjid apa i can't remember, India Gate, Lotus Temple and Qutub Minar. panjang gila nak cerita satu-satu apa kata kita tengok gambar pulak? jyeah! #gigih gila cerita semua benda :")

p/s : pictures in random order.

eh lupa cerita pasal niiii! ini Jantar Mantar which is sangat awesome.

kat sini the astronomers find out what's the time and location of Earth.

hebat kan? but it all comes from Islam's astronomers i bet :)

the building is actually a clock with accuracy of 2 seconds. gilaa.

Farahi the gorgeous and meee.

a random shop.

comel kaaan gambar ni? ini kat Taj Mahal. if you notice,

dekat pintu masuk ada tulisan khat. it's actually Surah Yasin :)

Jantar Mantar.

ini guest house tepi Taj Mahal.

on the way up to Amer Fort.

Water Palace. tempat ni exclusively for a king to play music.

he didn't want any distraction so he built a palace in water?! heh orang kaya..

supposedly you can see Agra Fort from here tapi ada kabus so tak nampak.

ada cerita sedih, Shah Jehan in his last years kena kurung dalam a room in Agra Fort

which he can see Taj Mahal from far. sedih kan?

he kept reminded of his sad love story sampai la meninggal..

btw nak tahu siapa kurung dia?

HIS FREAKING OWN SON.

gila kuasa punya pasal..

okay gila penat cerita. lain kali cerita pasal OIC (kalau rajin) haha bye. btw esok Umi datang siniiii *nangis sebab happy* :")
