Hai! Assalamualaikum..!
Here I am again for Turkiye 4.0...
duhh....tired already with all these stuff....
but to stop writing regarding all these, I may regret my laziness in the future... so lazy girl, let us continue~
Day 04...
As usual, woke up, performed solah, prepared ourselves...
Others had breakfast at the cafe...whereas me had mine in the room...
After finishing, then all gathered nearby Sultanahmed Tramway Station...
Well...yaa... for this post and two upcoming posts would be quite striking due to what you can see... red winter coat...~ but I likee! =D
morning istanbul ! from left: Dira, Qihah, Dayah, Bee ( bee, kenapa buat muka duckface bee? kenapa?)
At the back : Aku
First activity was supposed to be Bosphorus Trip...
Akan tetapi, cuaca pagi tu agak mendung...takde lah mendung sangat... tapi tak berapa lawa lah...
Kalau naik pagi tu pun, tak nampak apa-apa...
So, plan was changed ! Kitorang pergi Grand Bazar dulu untuk beli barang-barang...
As we had gone there last night, so list-to-buy was already created well in mind...
Firstly, we stopped by T-shirt shop to buy T-shirts....
so, we could get per piece by 8 TL...
I personally bought for parents, myself and a someone...huhu...
technically, best boy friend...ngee ~
arghhh ! merah ! silau ~ my right and left were shops in the Grand Bazar...
Next, added some key chains, fridge magnets etc etc...
while others like Maya bought lamp, Faqihah was busy finding postcards, and pouches too...
I actually dont know why did they all buy the pouches.... yaa... maybe there is something useful which I didnt discover yet... =P
Then, went to Egyptian Market... I needed to buy some Turkish Delight to be brought home this early of July or end of June or middle of June... actually I hope it is in May..^_^
Then, while buying, guess what? the promoter of the shop asked for my hand to be his wife...
desperate gamaknya... I am just 20 ! ><
So, at last, finished buying...
We gathered outside the Egyptian Market nearby the Yeni Cami... actually it is Jami' or Mosque..
Like in Egypt, J is changed to G, becomes Gami', in Turkey, they changed J to C, becomes Cami'...
can you see the pattern there?
actually, during the whole time trip in Turkey, I couldnt figure out the answer, how is in the world, consisting of soooo many languages? How could be from Adam, the first human on the Earth, languages were created until we got like so many languages nowadays minus the slang that was contributed by each sub areas in each country for a single language? Yeah, I dont think Adam talked various languages to Hawa... Just how come these things happened? According to Faqihah, 'faktor muka bumi' is one of the reason.
*okay banyak pula persoalan aku...=.='
just forget it... manalah tahu nanti esok-esok dah bosan jadi doktor, boleh buat research pasal benda ni pulak? huhu...
Me and burungss....
just what I did there? =.='' ( seram gamaknya burung-burung tengok aku, berwinter coat merah umpama ibu tiri ! well, what is the relation between ibu tiri and reddish winter coat? )
And in all of sudden, Bee wanted to go to the toilet, so as kakak yang baik, I volunteered myself to accompany her... yeah.. actually we did have a family tree among us in the gang !
The Mama is Yana, sisters to Mama are Dayah as Mak Ngah, and Dira as Mak Cu...
Bee is Yana's daughter... and I am Bee's sister...
but.... I am not Yana's daughter... I am a partner to Dira who is Yana's sister...
Nampak tak betapa keluarga enam puluh sembilan kat situ? hoho...
Abaikan !
So, on the way to the very terpencil toilet, we had to pass by a market...
I dont know what market actually it was... but there was sold animal's stuff !
Macam-macam benda ada...!
Like, for instances; flowers, seeds, birds' cages, animal's food etc...
terbaik la friskies kat sana beli by timbang... hoho
bunga ! winter pun dah lawa tumbuh dia...kalau musim bunga tak tahulah aku ! =.=
tulip's seeds ! see... tulip's seeds tu according to the colour of flower !
pacat !!! memang aku melompat lah bila nampak je benda alah ni ! tapi, dengan sisa-sisa keberanian yang tinggal, berjaya jugak aku tangkap gambar diorang ! so, senyum kalian !
again ! flowers~
rakyat jelata yang ada kat situ...
the greyish sky didnt appear bright as always.. as the sun hid behind the cottony clouds...but still people were scattering away... walked, crawled, glanced right and left proudly... proud stepping on their own land... proud of Islam slowly progressing on theirs... still climbed up reaching the glimpse of stars... the glimpse of success... Allahuakbar ! * okay tak payah nak mood poet sangat kot...huhu
done in ladies... while waiting others... =D
okay... semua dah ada... lapan orang dalam gambar plus sorang yang tengah ambil gambar...
Then, Saed called asking kitorang gerak from that comfort zone to another place located at opposite by passing through the underground pedestrian bridge or mafhumnya jejantas bawah tanah.. in Turkish tak tahu but in Arabic it is called 'Nafak'..
upon reaching the opposite side of the former... can you see behind me, there was a boat-like hut on the sea... Guess what? It was a kitchen... for the chefs to cook the dishes and on my right was a roofless tavern... believe in me on the first glance, you would expect that it was a ship floating stationary on the sea...
but it wasn't when you saw two or three men were preparing meals busily..!
punya lama duduk situ, rupanya kitorang berada di kawasan yang salah...!
rupanya, opposite sebelah sana where you could see the bridge on your left when your body heading to the sea !
sampai, and we were on the Bosphorus Trip plan !...
amoi atas kapal ~ " kau ada keturunan chinese ke?" Jiji.
" akak orang korea ke?" adik floor...
" enti siniyyah?" pakcik teksi...
takde kalian, takde !
view from the boat ! tu lah kot agaknya masjid kitorang singgah solat tadi...
boat still kat persisiran laut...angin dah menderu meleperkan tudung aku... aigoo ~
boat kat sebelah !
few minutes after that... yeah we were on board !
birds were flying away... chased for the food we threw away... water of the sea flew calmly even though millions of molecules fought against each other deep inside... bumped into aggressively following the direction of cold breeze... I was standing there...observed everything in gross...lost myself to the seasick and vertigo...
single picture paints thousand words...
however, the brightness of the flash hid away the gloom and bleakness of the weather...
gambar kitorang suku perjalanan.... sejuk..! tapi still chill~ tengoklah separuh perjalanan nanti... semua duduk rapat-rapat... berjuang giler, dah tahu sejuk, moved away la pergi tempat lain, turun bawah ke...
bukan tak nak gerak, nak gerak, tapi sayang pulak... view cantik dari situ...huhu
haa..haa... nampak? kerapatan terjalin di situ... sejuk giler ! Dira dah entah ke mana... tak tahan sejuk dah dia... pakai sweater semata kot...
Mesti Turkish and foreigners yang on board sekali dengan kitorang merasakan keutuhan dan keampuhan jati diri kitorang dan semangat yang tidak berbelah bahagi menahan kesejukan kat situ... * padahal dalam hati " dah kenapa budak-budak ni buang tabiat apa duduk situ?hoho"
diorang all dah moved away ke tengah cari heater... kitorang je still bertahan kat situ...! ><
nampak betapa kesejukannya Bee...whereas aku sempat menjeling kamera... this was from Saed's I think...
muka sejurus mendapat heater... tersenyum kelat =.=
kecomelan... ^_^ dewasa kelak mesti kacak..! haha... * ni pun dari kamera Saed jugak ni rasanya..
Tahukah?
Masa nak dekat dekat habis Bosphorus trip ni, ada dua orang budak kecil lelaki kembar/ budak lelaki kecil kembar/ budak kembar kecil lelaki/ budak kembar lelaki kecil? pedulikan je la... adoii...
mereka berdua berlari-lari dekat area kitorang duduk... salah sorang kembar tu comot giler muka dia...dahla pakai baju kaler hijau.. " Dah macam askar aku tengok budak ni !" Dira... hahaha... *ketawa aku bila ingat
Budak tu seakan-akan tahu dia dikutuk... lantas dia dan kembar dia plan satu misi !
Cuba teka apa dia... !
tengok dia buat apa kat Dira ! bersungguh diorang tarik Dira sampai dia bangun... !
Korang tau diorang nak buat apa kat Dira?
Hahahaha... Nak dihumbannye Dira ke laut ! hahahaha
Kelakar giler misi diorang ! haha.. *okay aku tak tahu ni kelakar ke tak.. but still aku boleh gelak masa aku tulis ni...hoho
Then, lepas penat ketawa, boat pun dah sampai ke destinasi...
Kitorang pun turun and next to do was eating !
destinasi : Yassinbalik... tak silap nama dia... balik means ikan !
ni masa tunggu makanan...
there it was ! fish-patty.. I dont know what its name in Turkish... * wanna ask Saed... he doesnt online... already slept maybe
tapi benda ni sedap ! ^_^
sooner after we finished eating...
Then, what was next?
Taksim or New Paris !!
Apakah tempat ini?
This was the place where we could find out branded products were in sale ! in Turkish- Indirim !
In Arabic- Okazion- something like that~
So, to reach that particular place... firstly, walked through the Galata Bridge then, * sekali angin menyapa mesra, perghh ! menggigil~ semua jalan laju-laju dah macam penguins berarak masuk igloo !
one of the alternative way was riding on tram...more or less like that...
Here was the stop...
we had to pass through a tunnel... like climbing hill ?
nampak tak tu---- TUNEL? 138 yasinda? apakah~ Tunnel? 138 tahun? mungkinlah mungkin~ huhu
haa...tram tu macam ni rupa dia... ini kat Taksim dah... actually, it had two points.. satu dari bawah tadi sampai the beginning of Taksim... second was dari tengah macam tu ke hujung... kot ~ huhu
this was Taksim... ! =D
First shop to stop by was....chocolate shop !
so, inilah dia kedai tersebut... see the bars of chocolate! consist of much colour which represented their types...
yang kaler putih tu adalah tempe~ okay percayakah? no, it was bar of white chocolate, yang the darkest one adalah dark chocolate while in between white and dark chocolate is milk chocolate..
nampak tak yang paling atas, the bulges looked rounded...well, those were hazelnut underlied beneath the bars of chocolate..
yang second and third lines tu nampak not so obvious single scattered bulges... but still those were bulges ! those were almonds I think...pyriform in shape...
well said, I am a person who is easily amazed by new things... and easy to laugh too~ I dont know why I always laugh... just maybe my euphoria threshold was too low...huhu
and in this shop, I was amazed by the arrangement of the legumes...
how could they arrange those? seems it is hard job to do... ke by machines?
from Saed's... dahsyat giler gambar ! kacau bilau~ must be two or three girls of each picture who looked downwards... while few looked at this camera.. and others who moved in confusing whether to look down the camera Dayah was holding, or looked at here...! adoii
then, Saed left us for a while... he left for praying...
erasers~ Aku sendiri tak faham sebab masa kat Turkey ni adalah 2-3 kali aku termasuk kedai buku... macam Egypt takde kedai buku je...huhu...
however, those erasers were unique !
I barely dont know what exhibition was this... more or less regarding history perhaps...
In between the hectic place of shopping, they established an exhibition to clarify history of Turkey... not so much years back... from some articles that I had read, those were about less than a century history...
technically, I didnt read those as all were in Turkish... I just read the number as only those I could understand...T.T
what the girls really did while waiting Saed ~
Then, we spent few hours in Taksim... I just avoided myself from entering shops for a long time each....
Worried that I couldnt help myself from buying those goods...
So, stepped away... was the best option !
* actually, my friends and colleagues thought I am a branded-stuff lover... I dont know why... they stated that~
Then, we have done in Taksim...
We went back passing through a descending rocky alley.....
It was so cold on that particular night...
We were just walking quickly...
We stopped by this place called Galata Tower... I thought it was a light house !
okay..this was the Galata Tower... technically it is a watch tower... guess what?
I thought it is a lighthouse/ rumah api... *by time, I began to think just what the heck was the lighthouse doing there, I mean in the middle of land... usually lighthouse situated at the coast right? hehhh~
rupanya, it is a watch tower...
* mujur ingat rumah api, kalau aku ingat kincir angin... tak ke nampak ke'fail'an kat situ? hoho
just macam mana aku boleh ingat benda ni rumah api ea? ><
next was we straightly went to the apartment...
Sampai je bilik, terus rendam kaki dalam air panas... I mean air suam...huhu
legaaaa ~
so, I hit the ending of the fourth day...
Next day would be the day when we went to Bursa located in Asia continent of Turkey...
haha... okay bye Assalamualaikum !
