"Di sana menanti, di sini menunggu..." Apa yang direnung tu Tuan Haji?
Awg. Ali took his boat out, and me helping him - ngaleh jua mempump boat atu..
Perenang kebangsaan...rupanya aying yang direnungnya tu, kan benanang, atau kan memukat kah tu tadi?
We were here...Brunei yakin!

Jump for JOY!!
One "game" that I introduced was "berbalas pantun", serangkap seorang....and if we had recorded I would have uploaded it here - nice pantun, and a few sumbang...hantam sajalah..
Here're are a few pantuns picked up that day;
From me:
Pg Azhar terbukti pandai menyalai,
Set BBQnya dibawa merata tempat..
Ayam...kambing..sosej semuanya disalai,
Nyaman rasanya sehingga jari dijilat..
Ayam dan kambing menu salai-menyalai,
Kita ramai-ramai santai di Pantai Yitti..
Aduhai... nyaman jua kambing yang disalai,
Sehingga lupa penyakit darah tinggi..
...and this is by Hj.Ismail
Berperahu ke seberang pulau
Tempat bermain anak dara sunti
Siok banar kami bagalau
BBQ dan berkelah di pantai Yitti

Sambil minum sambil bergurau
Pantun tani mengelikan hati
...and by Hj.Ihsanuddin
Dari Yiti kitani berpantun.
Di Yiti inda ada perahu chatar.
Gulintangan jadi music tumpuan
Sedikit sebanyak yg ku coretkan untuk AAR
...and by Hjh. Faridah
Sambil minum sambil bergurau
Alhamdulillah semua senang hati
kan membagitau Kampong Yitti ada surau
jalan nya dari sebelah kiri, tempat kami bini bini melepas hajat di hati
...sumbangan daripada Sia
Dari Sur ada, dari Sohar ada
Private ada, Kerajaan ada
Kalau berkelah cam ni semua suka
Lokasi yg seturusnya mau dimana?
Dua tiga kucing belari
Dari muscat sampai ke Yiti
Jangan lupa Dua minggu lagi
Pertandingan bowling di Al Masa menanti.
Bowling next! Watch this space....

Sambutan Mauludir-Rasul
Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. 9hb Februari 2012
Sambutan Mauludir Rasul diadakan di kediaman Tuan Yang Terutama Dato Seri Setia Ustaz Hj.Awg.Besar di Muscat.
Acara dimulakan dengan ceramah yang disampaikan oleh TYT. Di antara intisari ceramah beliau ialah mengenai kehidupan Rasulullah; bagaimana baginda memikirkan dengan cara hidup kaum Quraish waktu itu yang terlalu kucar-kacir, tidak tentu arah dan tidak lagi menunjukkan kemanusian semasa sendiri.
Baginda diputerakan pada 12 Rabiulawal tahun Gajah. Dinamakan tahun Gajah ialah tahun itulah, tidak lama sebelum keputeraan Rasulullah, berlakunya serangan tentera Gajah Raja Yemen. Raja Yemen telah membina tempat beribadah yang sungguh megah dihisai dengan berlian dan emas, namun orang-orang masih mengunjungi Mekah. Raja Yemen dengki dan menghantar tentera Gajah baginda untuk memusnahkan Ka'abah dan Mekah.
Allah SWT menghantar burung-burung yang membawa batu-batu dari neraka, sehingga tentera Raja Yemen hancur seperti daub dimamah ulat.
Baginda Mohammad SAW, diangkat menjadi Rasul ketika banginda berusia 40 tahun. Ketika itu baginda berada di dalam Gua Hera. Jibril menjelma dan memeluk baginda dan menyuruh baginda membaca - seperti di dalam Surah Al-'Alaq:
"Bacalah (wahai Muhammad) dengan nama Tuhanmu yang menciptakan (sekalian makhluk)."
Selesainya ceramah, semua hadirin pun berdiri dan berdikir, bunga telur dan bunga rampai turut mengiringi laungan dikir.
Doa selepas dikir.
Seterusnya para hadirin menikmati jamuan.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
Sesungguhnya Allah dan para malaikat-Nya bersalawat (memberi segala penghormatan dan kebaikan) ke atas Nabi (Muhammad 
). Wahai orang-orang yang beriman bersalawatlah kamu ke atasnya serta ucapkanlah salam dengan penghormatan. [Al-Ahzab: 56]
). Wahai orang-orang yang beriman bersalawatlah kamu ke atasnya serta ucapkanlah salam dengan penghormatan. [Al-Ahzab: 56]Wassalam.

Wahibba Sands Adventure dan santai di Wadi Bani Khalid - Part 4
Biddiya, Sultanate of Oman. 3rd Feb. 2012
Proudly hoisting our National Flag!
"Master Chef" off-work..hehe
...and before departing Al-Raha, we all enjoyed ourselves - dune buggies, sand drifting and dune bashing....
HAPPY faces....
Good-bye Wahibba....
About 14 km from Biddiya Shell petrol station, we turned off from Route 23, to the left following the labels to Wadi Bani Khalid. I read in quite a number of reviews and articles that the road would be winding into the mountains, and rightly so...
The road leading to Wadi Bani Khalid, off Route 23
Road works to expand the road...a good idea! as we were twisting and winding up and down the mountain.
The turn into Wadi Bani Khalid town, and another 8 km to the wadi pools.
Moving on into the wadi itself.
Arrived.... the car park at the wadi.
The ritual of offloading stuff for the picnic.
Making sure all in place.
The path into the wadi pools.
The path now through the "falaj" or irrigation conduits.
BEAUTIFUL! Welcome to Wadi Bani Khalid...
One of the wadi's pools.
Our picnic spot, nice and shady.
The children enjoying soaking their feet in the cool wadi water...and a bonus treat too...the fishes nibbling on the feet, just like the doctor fish, eating away those dead skin cells.
Iatah ni usul orang-orang kelaparan....
...fikir tah menyediakan, rupanya makan tah durang ani.. :)
...and "Master Chef" preparing the BBQ, and kali ani ada "Sous Chef" membantu (BBQ setnya damit sikit..)
Kanyang dan ngaleh... tidur! Mimpi jadi Zorro atau Lone Ranger kali ni...topengnya ada sudah tu.
Said dan Ali, kerja sambilan di sana mengangkut barang-barang, menggunakan "kereta mangkuk". Serial one way, "ik rial..", pikirtah "eight riyal", atu mahal...hehe
Sudah makan, dan berehat sekucupnya, we packed, and with the help of Said and Ali, we made our way back to the car park. Checking everyone all accounted for, we drove off towards Sur.
Driving was beginning to take the toll, feeling rather sleepy, somewhere about 20km from Sur, we stopped over at a masjid. Alhamdulillah solat fardu dijaga dan ditunaikan.
From the masjid, the Sur boys and the Muscat entourage departed ways.
Arriving Al-Khuwair through the mountain "short-cut" from Al-Amirat.Alhamdulillah, we all arrived safely. The time was around 7.30 pm.... and a few of us sampat lagi tu megisi parut at Kareem's Cafe.
