My typical VIRTUAL day

Dunno what to write,so i'm going to tell you guys how do a typical virtual day of mine looks like.

19th August 1942
Woke up at 7.am,went straight to the mess hall to take my usual breakfast of egg hotdog.Like always i chatted with my fellow comrades,and after about 15minutes,we were called to the briefing room to prepare for our next mission.


As you can see,my group,II/JG53 of the German Air Force(Luftwaffe) were operating in the Crimea.Our job was to destroy a vital bridge that were being used by the Russian to retreat eastward,so that they will be stranded and can be annihilated by our ground forces.

So we took off at about 8.15am.I was in the 1st wing,flying with Major Hartmann.We brought under the fuselage 4x50kg bombs destined for the destruction of the bridge.

After about 20 minutes of flying,we finally arrived at the target area.Major Hartmann ordered me to destroy the bridge,and I immediately executed that order with ease.There was no enemy anti-aircraft gun around that area,so there was virtually no danger of being hit.I dropped the bomb,and the bridge blew up in a giant fireball.

Bombs Away!!

Direct hit!!Target destroyed!!Alah sonang sajorr..hehe

After that we went on to strafe the retreating Russian units.They must not escape,or otherwise the campaign against Bolshevism will be become harder and harder with each every passing hour.Helped with other aircrafts,we started to strafe them mercilessly.

Suddenly enemy fighters appeared at the scene.I got a distress radio message from one of the BF-110G which was being pursued by a Soviet I-16 fighter.I immediately steer my aircraft into his direction,and tailied that enemy fighter until I managed to shot him down.

View from my cockpit the moment my 20mm bullets hit the enemy plane.

Die you filthy communist!!haha

Finally after patrolling above the area for 30 minutes more,we finally headed home.I landed my beloved BF-109,and then parked it beside Major Hartmann's.By the time we were home,hot lunch was already on the table.Yummyy!!

Landing : The touchdown was as smooth as a breeze

Major Hartmann's plane,viewed from my plane.

So that's all folks.May the German Army be triumphant in its struggle against Communism!!haha

P/S : After that went straight to rumah kaknad and mirul..dokek jo kek simferopol..haha
Salute,for the Fatherland!!

Special Report : My lovely sis,kak nad...

Since the moment I was "featured" in her blog,I found myself to be morally obliged to write about her in this so-basic blog of mine,besides that will do justice..so here we go lads..

She was born on the 3rd of february 1985a.d at Seremban General Hospital,4.06a.m to be precise...at that time,my gandma was working there as a nurse,so maybe my grandma sambut-ed her kot?haha..and then like all malaysian kids of that era,her parents sent her to the kindergarten,if i remember correctly it was taski al hafiz ABIM at taman marida ..she was 4 years old then..the first light of her brilliance shone there when she answered a very tough question for kids her age : name all the islamic months..and as we can expect,she named all of them without even a single flaw(haha yo yo sajorr)..since then it was destined that nurnadhrah binti ramalan would be one of the greatest GUBU member in history(x relevan jua ke??..hehe)..she started her primary schooling at SRI ABIM seremban on dec 1989,and after 6 years of smooth sailing,she set out to sea once again,sailing through the secondary years at SMKA SHAMS,also smooth la..she said she liked the school very much,because she had friends who always made the pengawas hot maa..she was like the brilliant noti girl la kot..haha..she finished school the same year i start my studies there..after that,quoting her words,"pastu trus gi kolej chermai,terus gi ukraine,terus skarang berada di ukraine"..by ukraine she means Crimea State Medical University,Simferopol..

erm what can i say about her..she's one of those rare species of people yg share some of my interest,like conspiracy theories,freemason,ancient gods stuffs like dat..she is also a very nice person u knoe,always lend me a hand anytime i need assistance..and lately banyak pulak she helped me in medical stuffs,maklumla dah memasing belajar depan komputer..and kalo dia rasa malu dia akan baring atas katil and telengkup muka ngan bantal ok..haha..so i think that's all fer now..enjoy some of her candid pics(weird she doesnt like posed pics..hehe)..bye the bye!!

Without wax,

Jailed for arguing history??

Maybe many of you had heard the latest news about David Irving,the British historian that was sentenced to three years behind bars just because he claimed that the Holocaust was not as it is claimed by the mainstream source.I know this kind of topic must be boring for some of you,but for me,this just clearly shows that the world is getting more and more dominated by a small group(s) of people,who have big ambitions and interest,who managed to infiltrate powerful factions,and literally exert their authority on them.They are the Zionist Jew.Let us just reflect for a little while,who's going to be the biggest loser if the Holocaust is actually proven to be not like the current version?Who used the Holocaust as a pretext to such extent that they got a piece of land and start a new illegal country?Who used the Holocaust to maintain and continue their existence in a foreign land and supress its native inhabitants?The answers are crystal clear ayte?I'm not 100% sure that the Holocaust is a lie,but I just want us to take a quick look at the information that we are being fed on.Many people has come up with technical evidence such as the alleged crematoria and gas chambers used were not large enought to achieve the casualty figures as claimed by the Jews.And lots more.Luckily i'm not in the mood to further rant about this stuff,so thats about it..

Some proof(claims?) that Auschwitz was not a mass killing genocidal concentration camp.

BTW here is the link to some of David Irvings' claims.
BBC News coverage of the story.

Former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohammad Proposes A Jewish State in Texas and Declares: A Person Like President Bush Should Never Lead A Powerful Country

Following are excerpts from an interiew with Former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohammad which aired on Lebanon's New TV on February 15, 2006:

Interviewer: We are here in Cairo and we have to ask you first of all because your visit here is about a tribunal that judges George Bush, Tony Blair, and Sharon. Why did you bother yourself to come here and... you are a politician... to be as a lawyer or in the head of this tribunal?

Mahathir Mohamad: I think this trial is important because there needs to be a lot of publicity regarding the crimes committed by these three people. So far they have been able to get away, literally, with murder, but nobody seems to pass any judgment on them. So we think that this trial would enable the public – the people here – to make a decision on their behavior presently.

Interviewer: What are the main characters, the main... Why did you choose these three people? And is it a real court?

Mahathir Mohamad: It's... The charge was made by the Egyptian lawyers. They decided to have this court. This court is... Of course it's not the normal, official court. It is a court of the people, so to speak.

Interviewer: What do you think that the reaction would be? Do you think that George Bush is aware of this court?

Mahathir Mohamad: Well he's incapable of noticing anything. But still, we need to have our say.

Interviewer: What are the results that you expect?

Mahathir Mohamad: Well, as one of the judges of course I'm not supposed to pass judgment until the evidences are finished, so I think so far, of course, we have heard the prosecution's case. We have not heard the defense. So when we hear the defense, we'll make a decision.

Interviewer: They accused you that you are an anti-Semite. So are you the enemy of the United States or an anti-Semite?

Mahathir Mohamad: They always like to label people as being anti-Semitic, so that even if you do and say innocent things you are supposed to be unfair. But other people are subject to criticism, subject to condemnation – including the Muslims. Now if you can condemn the Muslims – as terrorists, for example – why is it that when the Jews do something that is wrong, that is criminal, we cannot say anything? Why is it that they are supposed to be exempted from normal opinions of people?

Mahathir Mohamad: Ahmadinejad asked for the elimination of Israel, but Israel has actually eliminated Palestine. Israel doesn't allow the Palestinian state to exist. It is really called the Palestinian Authority. Now if Israel can insist that Palestine does not exist, why cannot some other person say that Israel shouldn't exist? Or if it wants to exist, it should exist in Europe, (from) where the Zionists came? Or in America? How about giving a little bit of Texas to make the State of Israel?

Interviewer: What do you think about George Bush and his behavior in the Arab world... and he wins the election, he is re-elected again? What do you think about the policy of the Bush administration also?

Mahathir Mohamad: Well, Bush is a very aggressive person, and he has no hesitation about using military power to achieve his objective. If thousands of people are killed – that's too bad. 500,000 children in Lebanon were killed, in this...

Interviewer: In Iraq.

Mahathir Mohamad: In Iraq, were killed... That's all right, as long as they achieve their objective. Such a person should never lead a powerful nation. It's very dangerous, because he's going to use military means to achieve his objective. He's going to kill people in order to achieve his objective.

Interviewer: You said once that the reelection of President Bush will cause sufferings for Muslims in the world. How can we stop this?

Mahathir Mohamad: The only thing, the only way to stop this is to ask the American people... There are a lot of very decent American people. Unfortunately, they are not too knowledgeable about the rest of the world. We have to inform them (about) the kind of damage that is being done by their leader, Bush, and they should not vote for a man who obviously told an open lie. He lied about the weapons of mass destruction, and yet he was able to win the election. It is very disappointing. It shows that a lot of Americans are not knowledgeable about what is being done by their leader. So we have a need to explain to the American people that this... We are not against America, we are just against the policies of certain governments. So Americans should choose their leaders very carefully.

A blast from the past

Combing through my old albums dating from the early days of my stay in jordan,I stumbled upon a folder containing pictures from an iftar(break fasting) at Syeikh Abdul Rahmans' place.Die adelah muazzin kat masjid JUST ok.Ekceli die ajak kitorng iftar tu sebab nak tasykil(ajak) kitorng kluar ikut jemaah tabligh,so petang tuh sblom maghrib ade la bayan(ceramah) sket kat masjid dekat ngan rumah Syeikh tuh.BTW umah die kat Sorih ok,dekat je ngan Irbid.So lepas maghrib we set off to his house,melantak sepuas hati ok.Gile banyak makan x bleh abis ok.Hehe.Abis makan je balik,solat isyak ngan tarawikh kat Masjid Fayha',harap maklum.

P/S:Kesal ok sbb 2 reasons,1st salji x turun kat Irbid walaupon all other surrounding areas ade snowfall,2nd,bebudak ni download cam giler,so connection slow,and aku xleh nak maen game..grrr

Kesal,

Yeay~~finally i'm on da line

wahaha dis is my 1st post on my own connection.actually dun have anything in my mind right now,coz some arab just freaked me out,accusing my dear housemate hazim for sending a not so decent message to an arab girl every single day since i dont know when. my poor friend's phone dont even have arabic characters,and frankly speaking,nobody's in my house is able to send such perfect message in arabic.so to the stupid narrow minded arab who dont know how to speak in a civilised and polite manner,go to ****.

SALJI~~YEAY

Tadi,tanggal 10 feb 06 approximately jam 8 pagi,aku gi main salji for the first time in my whole fantastic life ok. Main kat ajloun,lebeh kurang 15mins je from my house.Maybe for blogders from northern hemisphere countries things like this are basic ayte,but who cares.hehe.Pictures speak better than words,so i'll just put the pictures lah..

Icy cold,

Intro-countryside prior to our play zone

Aku,aiman and munir bersantai jap

Put your own caption lah,no idea ^_^

The lazier the better??(lazier<--is that a word??hehe)

Last night when I was reading BBC's Focus mag,I bumped on what I regard as a pretty interesting gist under the title KICK BACK TO LEARN BETTER.So here is it,take a look at it.


"Lazy students everywhere take heart-learning can be more effective the less hard you try.Button pressing excercises at Cambridge University showed that participants efforts to learn hidden pattern in a sequence interfered with instinctive learning.Researchers say the frontal lobe are valuable for making quick decisions,but their conscious processing can inhibit the automatic learning of simpler task."

That's what they say.Personally for me there is some truth in it,but it cant be applied everytime.I think in the end it is up to the individual which way fits him,coz every single human being is not identical to each other,aight?

Salute,
Shultze

Jordan Expedition(Day One)

H-Hour(0645)
Ikut tentatif sepatotnye kiotrng bertolak ke Umm Qays pukol 6.45,tapi biaselah akibat janji Melayu bergabung ngan janji Arab,maka lebeh kurang kol 0730 baru gerak daripada Kedai Dalki iaitu kat area umah kitorng.CAm biase ambik pompuan kat Duar Qubbah,pastu we headed towards Umm Qays.

Umm Qays(Gadara)
Ok kitorng sampai kat Umm Qays lebeh kurang kol 0830.Kene setel tiket sume bermakne 0845 baru bleh explore tempat tu.The town is to the north west of Irbid,and is situated on a broad promontary 378m above sea level.This city was originally one of the "Decapolis",a group of nine autonomuosly independent cities under Roman influence.It has a long and rich history,running from as early as 7BC to the Ottoman Era.One can expect to find many archaelogical thingies,so sape yg minat history silelah datang ok.One more thing,from there u can see Golan Heights(which Jordan lost to Israel in 1967 war),the legendary Lake Tiberias(Sea of Galilee),Yarmouk Valley,and of course Israel and Syria.Aku Munir Faisal and the gang found out that is was not enough to spend only 1 1/4 hours there.Tgh best2 explore Bath of Herakleides,tetibe bebudak ni call suroh balik kat bas.So terpakselah kitorng berlari 1KM naik bukit turun bukit lantas membuatkan budak arab nangis ketakutan untuk sampai ke bas.

Lepas tu kitorng pon pergi la plak ke Ajloun.

Qala'h Ar-Rabat,Ajloun(Frontier Castle)
We arrived there at about 1200hrs.This castle was built in 1184 by Izzudin Usama,commander and nephew of Salahuddin,to deter the Franks from invading Ajloun during the Crusades.It also guards the trade route between Jordan and Syria.Castle ni 2 tingkat,and dalam die cam biase la ade banyak bilik2 sebagai.Originally ade 4 towers,each of them ade arrow slits(utk panah penjahat).Pastu ade la org wat renovation,tambah agi satu tower.Castle ni penah kene tawan oleh org Mongol pada 1260,tp Sultan Baybars dengan gagahnye menawan balik castle ni.From this castle u can see the Dead Sea,Jordan Valley,Lake Tiberias,and the West Bank(Palestinian Authority).
Lepas puas explore,berenti solat and makan kat one of the mosque at Ajloun,after that we went to Jerash.

Jerash(Gerasa)
It is one of the largest and well preserved Roman city outside Italy.Tapi kesal ok,sampai sane je nampak Hadrian's Arch yg gah tgh kene renovate.This city was also one of the Decapolis.Best ok city ni,kitorng dpt bygkan camne la city ni dulu2 time kegemilangan die.Bak kate kat pamphlet "the drive may take you less than an hour..but will transport you 2000 years back in time".On the way back,ade org nak jual syillings Roman,tp mahal giler ok.Last2 aku beli topi and lukisan(sejak bile lak aku jadi artistik ni.hehe)

So we ended our first day with the trip to Jerash.We spent the night in hotels in Amman.Tp cam biase la,wajib gi Mecca Mall dlu sblom tido :)

Yeay~,

Kat Umm Qays.Ruins kat background adelah Byzantine Baths.Yg bukit tu plak adelah Golan Heights

Ini adelah ruins church yg berbentuk octagon

Jordan Expedition(Day Two)

Bertolak dari hotel kol 0730,our destination was the Umayyad Era Castles,scattered throughout the black basalt desert east of Amman.1st skali kitorng sampai kat Qusayr Amra.

Qusayr Amra
Bende ni actually bukan la castle sgt,tp more like a small palace.Die ade cold,warm and hot bath.This building serves as a rest place for pilgrims along the route from Mekkah to Damascus.Tapi yg pelik nye die punye fresco(lukisan kat interior) bukan macam tempat utk org haji pon,banyak lukisan bogel adela.No komen.huhu.Sblom balik aku gi melawt umah org badwi jap.Lolololololololo.

Lepas puas melihat,we proceed to the next palace,Qasr Harrana,lebih kurang 15mins from Qusayr Amra.

Qasr Harrana
Qasr ni dikelilingi oleh barbed wire ok,pastu kitorng nye bus dropped us jauh dari entrance,so one of the abangs ternampak gap kat wire tu lantas kitrong pon infiltrate la area tu ngan gaye askar jerman sejati ok.Pastu kene sound ngan pak guard.Qasr Harrana ni pon tempat rest untuk jemaah haji gak,tapi lagi besar.Archeologist poning lalat sapo yg buat Qasr ni,sbb ade tulisan arab yg kate castle ni was built in 11th century,tp ade gak Roman inscription dated much more earlier than that.X kesah la.Tgn aku berdarah ok time panjat ruins Qasr ni.Lepas puas memanjat n melompat,kitorng pon gerak blah la.

Next destination,Ashabul Kahfi.

Kahf Ashabul Kahfi(Cave of Ashabul Kahfi)
Kekesalan sejati.Pintu gua tutup,die punye penjage cuti kot,sbb that day Jordan holiday.Kitorng lepak2 je la sekitar dat area,lunch kat hillside yg cantek.By far this location is the most "sohih" la among other locations yg claim jadi Ashabul Kahfi.Byk ok reasons die,malas plak aku nak tulis.Nak tau contact je la aku ok.Huhu.

Pastu kitorng pegi Mount Nebo.

Mount Nebo
Tempat ni dikatekan tempat Nabi Musa berdiri melihat the Promised Land bersame2 Joshua(Yushak bin Nun).Ade monastery besar kat sini,yg dikatekan dibina pada August 531AD.From here,during good weather,you can see up to Al-Quds(Jerusalem),Dead Sea,Lake Tiberias,Jericho(the oldest city in the world).The scene from up there is so good ok.So datangla melawat Jordan.

Lepas tu kitorng pon gi Mu'tah,malam tu lepak kat umah2 brader2 Melayu kat sane.

Masih best,

Ni tugu memorial kat Mount Nebo.Ade yg lagi besar,tp malas nak letak gamba

Jordan Expedition(Day Three)

Bertolak from Mu'tah around 0730.Today's destination,Dead Sea.

Dead Sea
On the way we saw the magnificent Karak Castle.Besar ok.Papehal pon kitorng sampai kat Laut Mati,400m below sea level.Memule pikir gilo apo,tgh2 sejuk ni nak gi mandi.Tp x kesah blasah je.Aku kene beli seluar dlu ok,sbb x bawak seluar mandi.Best ok mandi kat situ,shoreline die tajam bnyk garam yg ter-crystallised.Tapi mmg terapung tahap gaban ok.Igt nak berenang beramai2 sampai Israel on the other side,tapi apekan daye ramai casualties di pihak kitorng akibat air yg super masin masuk mate.Aku pon one of them.Giler weyh pedih nak mampos,meleleh2 air mate.Terpakse la org yg x cedera tarik org yg cedera ke tepi pantai lantas tuang air minum kat mate.Aku terpakse berenang dalam keadaan bute sambil menarik Mando yg cedera gak sbb xde sape kat area kitorng(kononnye heroic la.Huhu).Lepas tu kitorng lumur2kan lumpur2 Dead Sea kat satu badan,diorng kate ade healing powers.Ontah la.Dah puas mandi pegi plak main basketball,kat situ ade court ok.Lepas makan and main,at about 0045,kitorng pon gerak.

Baptism Site was our next destination.

Baptism Site(Al-Maghtas)
This site is about 5 Roman miles(7KM) north of the Dead Sea.It is believed that Jesus(Isa a.s) was baptised here by John the Baptist(Yahya a.s) using water from the Jordan River.Tu menurut Christianity la,Islam x cakap pape pon pasal bende ni.Tapi tempat di mane Jesus was said to be baptised skarang dah kering,tourist guide cakap pasal Jordan river dah detour atas sbb2 natural.Tapi yg best tu bile kitorng turun kat Jordan river yg lebarnye 4-5meter je,sberang tu dah Israel ok.Kalo nak lintas pon no hal je,tapi pastu mati la kene tembak,sbb area tu military zone.Pastu kitorng usya plak Tell Ilyas,tempat tu mcm bukit kecik,dimane diorng kate Nabi Ilyas(Elijah) diangkat ke langit oleh satu jilatan api.Dari situ clear gile Jericho and Mount of Olives(Jabal Zaitun),Jerusalem.Tapi yg x bestnye kitorng kene blah awal b4 1600hrs,sbb diorng nak tutup area tuh.

Malam tu lepak kat Mu'tah lagi.

Fuishh,
Shultze
Gamba kenangan sblom mandi and assault to Israel ok.Yg bukit kat background adelah Israel

Laut Mati.Aku ade sumwhere kat tgh sane.Carila.Hehe

Lepas naik dari Laut Mati.Muke sume camouflage daripade lumpur laut mati

Ni la precisely tempat yg dikatekan Nabi Isa di baptised oleh Nabi Yahya

Bermain2 air sungai Jordan.Yg rumput2 kat tebing sbelah sane adelah Israel

Bangunan kat background adelah Israel.Harap maklum.Air dalam bowl tu adelah Holy Water dari Sungai Jordan

Yg ade jembatan tu adelah Tell Ilyas,tempat dikatekan Nabi Ilyas diangkat ke langit.City kat background adelah Jericho,Palestin.

Jordan Expedition(Day Four)

Bertolak dari rendezvous point at around 0800hrs.Kalo dah kat Mu'tah tu,rugi la kalo x melawat battlefield perang Mu'tah.So here we go.

Mu'tah battlefield
Perang ni was the 1st battle to be fought outside peninsular arab(Hijaz).It was caused when utusan Nabi s.a.w was killed by the Byzantine,so Nabi hanta tentera nak ajar sket diorng tuh.3000 Muslimin lawan ngan 200,000 tentera Byzantine+Arab Ghassan.Islam lost 12 martyrs je.Power ok.Kat sane skang ade tugu peringatan and maqam of the three Muslim commanders that was killed in the battle.

Lepas lebeh kurang 15mins kat battlefield,kitorng pon pergi menuju Qala'h Shawbak.

Qal'ah Shawbak
South of Mu'tah.This castle was built by King Baldwin I,salah sorang dari Raja Latin time Crusades.Castle ni atas bukit,mengawal lalaun dagangan yg dikenali sebagai King's Highway,so amat strategik ok.Tapi last2 Salahuddin Al-Ayubi dapat gak tawan castle ni ok.Kat sane aku beli duit syiling zaman dahulu kala ok.Agak mahal tapi berbaloi kot.

And then to the main prize,Petra.

Petra
Inila banda yg amat femes sbb diukir kat batu ok.Originally it was built and inhabited by the Nabateans,but later on it was part of the Roman Empire.Satu je jalan masuk ke Petra,through the Siq,iaitu a very narrow natural canyon.Banda ni amat luas ok,kalo nak explore sume kene ade at least 12 hours.So kitorng hanye sempat cover 20% je of the city sbb we had just 3hrs ok sbb dah nak gelap.On the way back nak kluar dari city tuh,aku memule naik keldai and later aku naik kude.Yehaaaa~

Lepas tuh kitorng gerak towards Jordan's only coastal city,Aqaba.

Aqaba
The trip from Petra to Aqaba took about 2hrs.Sampai2 je sane nampak dari atas bas cam happening giler ok,dgn waterfront and all the shops.Aku Hazim Munir and Faisal dah bajet nak berpoya2.Huhu.Tapi bile sampai bilik hotel harapan musnah.Bilik busuk giler and buruk ok.X kesah.Malam tu gi la waterfront,agak x best dan kotor.Dah la busuk bau taik kude,sampah bersepah.Tapi ape nak wat lepak je la.Tetibe hujan lebat ok.Kitorng berlari take cover kat kedai,pastu tetibe satu city blackout ok.Haha.Malang btol.Last2 balik bilik trus tido ngan kecewa.

Lalala,
Shultze
Kat memorial perang Mu'tah.Blaknag tu tulis name 12 syuhada'.Semangat ok.Haha

Dari bukit2 ni la tentera Islam approach the battlefield

Aku ngan munir atas tower kat Shaubak Castle,tgh observe enemy movements.Hehe.

Notice ukiran2 kat tower Shawbak Castle

Ngan Munir lagi skali ok.Kat Shawbak Castle gak
Inilad duit2 yg aku beli kat Shawbak Castle ok

Ngan munir lagi.Tapi kali ni kat Al-Khazneh,Petra

Interior design one of the houses kat sane.Muke letih giler ok

Ngan Munir lagi.Ish.Depan courthouse.

Naik kude perang aku on da way kuar dari Petra.Gamba x jelas sgt,maklumla tgh laju.Haha

Jordan Expedition(Day Five-Final)

Aqaba
Pukol 0800 kitorng pergi kat waterfront lantas menyewa glass boat yg konon agak best.Tapi kesal lagi skali ok,kat dasar laut hanye ade botol kosong,tin2 dan juga sampah.Diorng kate ade kete kebal tenggelam,tapi dari boat aku x nampak pon.Kesal lagi skali.

Dah abis naik boat,lepak2 kat dataran yg ade bendera Jordan besar cam kat dataran merdeka.Lepas brekfes,masuk Aqaba Fort,peniggalan zaman ottoman.Lepas tu kitorng wandered around Aqaba.Boring kedai tutup sbb hari jumaat.Last2 aku ngan Awe naik paddle boat,best la jugak walaupon agak basic.Lepas tu balik hotel check out lantas pegi solat jumaat.

Lepas jumaat plan nak gi Wadi Ram,iaitu naik jeep merentasi padang pasir yg merupakan agak adventure ok.Tapi kesal lagi skali,x boleh masuk Wadi Ram sbb hujan malam tadi menyebabkan tanah becak and jeep x leh masok.Last2 pusing balik gi Aqaba,lepak sane sampai Maghrib.lepas maghrib bermula la journey home to the north.

Kesimpulannye,the first four days adelah amat best ok,tapi bile sampai Aqaba je,everything started to jadi x berape best.Maka datangla Jordan,amat best ok~~~
