On the way to Ancona Port, Italy for Viva Palestina 5 Convoy

Salaam and hi everyone,

How are you guys back home?

As for me, I am ok, doing great, alhamdulillah. Except that I was shocked and sad to hear about the passing away of one of my friends from Orphan Care, Sis Nadra's father. Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiuun.

May Allah shower His Mercy on his soul, ameen....

Right now, I am on a ferry moving into Greece. And most importantly, getting closer and closer to my second home- Gaza, inshaAllah!

But before we got into the ferry, last night, we slept over somewhere somewhere by the roadside, not at the petrol station as planned earlier....

Seems like every truck driver on our highway had planned to sleep at the same petrol station! So, very packed and jammed. That must be a very famous petrol station, huh? 

And we, me and Azra decided to sleep in front of the van, eh, not in front as like depan the van la... i mean inside the van, but the front seats...

This was because the night before, when we sleep at the back of the van (inside, ok) it was soooo cold!

And clever me, forgot to wear my socks and gloves. Actually Zab reminded me to wear them but I fell asleep before reading her text message.

So, by the time I read her message, it was too late...

And worse, my sleeping bag's zipper kept on sliding down. Zabrina asked me, why was the zipper sliding down all the time, the zipper loose ke?

So, i told her... me and my sleeping bag not the same size mah!

Sleeping bag size = S, Me = ??? .... Haiyoo....

She laughed like crazy....

So... next trip, cannot borrow from my comel comel (Jem, this means cute cute) friend's sleeping bag anymore... hehe....

And the luckiest of all are my friends who are driving the ambulances. Their stretchers became their beds. Best, right? :))

Anyway, the next morning, I had coffee and cheesecake for breakfast. Alhamdulillah, not as filling like my nasi lemak etc, but, still nice breakfast, nevertheless...

And Zab told me, take some pictures of you laa, fresh after shower. And I told her, what shower?? I havent taken one in the last 24 hours! hehe....

Seems that Adnan's, the Viva Palestina Malaysia's words were correct in one of our meetings. He said, 'those who plan to be in the convoy must start your training from now.... stop showering for 3-4 days....';
(hint to future convoy members: bring lots of deodorant!)

Ok la you guys, need to go for a bit. See you in the next post!

Lovey, lovey,
Azura
