Viva Palestina 5 Land Convoy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Salam and hi my dearest family and friends,<br />
<br />
At 10pm, Malaysian time today, we, the Viva Palestina 5 Land Convoy is destined by the Al Mighty to be standing in the land of the Prophet, Palestine.<br />
<br />
To be exact, Gaza....<br />
<br />
I cannot express my feelings as we were nearing to the Border moments before.<br />
<br />
When I saw the sign, 5 km to Rafah Gate... I was like.... someone pinch me....<br />
<br />
I snapped 2 photos of the road signs and sent them to my super girls- Zab, Jem and Azian.<br />
<br />
And as expected, all the 3 cry babies started crying....<br />
<br />
Haiyo....<br />
<br />
Guys, stopped crying ok... you are not helping me here..... I cannot go into Gaza crying.... not especially when I have Mr Malaysia Tough Man (who was selected among the 30 to be on the cargo vessel to El Arish Port) beside me- Dr Musa!<br />
<br />
<br />
Then, suddenly..... I saw the infamous Rafah Border- the yellow brick shaped like an upside down half-U that if we get passed it, will bring us all to Palestine...<br />
<br />
This is the same gate that I have been seeing all these while in the news, video clips and youtube videos...<br />
<br />
My heart just beat so fast.<br />
<br />
Then at 22.10, Malaysian time, I sent out a message to my 3 beloved darlings...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Zab, remember what I said?<br />
<br />
"we shall only cry if it will make us stronger"<br />
<br />
And of course, she refused to listen to me on this matter... Azura, why can't you just let me cry!!<br />
<br />
Ok Zab... cry away babe... I know you will anyway....<br />
<br />
I have so much to share but for the time being, I am too busy hugging the Gazan women!<br />
<br />
And I chocked when one of them whispered to my ears - thank you for not forgetting us...<br />
<br />
Yes, Zab.... this time I cried....<br />
<br />
I will leave you with these photos and will be posting more very soon, inshaAllah....<br />
<br />
Love from, (guess where??)<br />
<br />
Yes, you are right!<br />
<br />
Love from Gaza, (p/s: i have been waiting to sign off this way for years!)<br />

<br />
Last night at about 9.44pm Malaysian time, I texted Zabrina...<br />
<br />
'We start driving d van onto d ship in 20 min...'<br />
<br />
Of course, Zab being Zab, she went curious and questions were flying to me like a bazooka!<br />
<br />
She wanted to know the size of the ship..<br />
<br />
Good question... but as I also dont know, so, I asked her google it up.<br />
<br />
The name of the cargo vessel is Strofades IV, wak... I told her.<br />
<br />
And a few minutes later, she texted me...<br />
<br />
Waaa.... so huge....<br />
<br />
Of course so huge babe, it fills up 143 vehicles!<br />
<br />
Although I feel sad and a little bit anxious that the activists wont be sailing together with our vehicles, I pray our cargo vessel will reach its destination safely, ameen....<br />
<br />
And tomorrow, me together with the 400 activists will be flying into Cairo then drive to the El Arish Port to wait up for our vehicles....<br />
<br />
Then, God Willing, we will drive into Gaza!!!<br />
<br />
We are all praying that we will be able to make Jumaah prayer in Gaza this Friday... ameen...<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, take a look at this cargo vessel picture googled by Zab, and watch this video googled by Jem!<br />
<br />
Love always,<br />
Azura<br />

Viva Palestina 5 Land ConvoySalam and hi everyone,<br />
<br />
By now, I am sure you all have heard about the new conditions set by the Egyptian government.<br />
<br />
The condition is this- if the VP convoy wants to enter Gaza, there are an additional 17 of our convoy members must be left behind!<br />
<br />
Huh?<br />
<br />
Yes, Egypt said NO to 17 of our convoy members from sailing to El Arish Port, Egypt and by that they are automatically banned also from entering Gaza...<br />
<br />
First it was only George Galloway, our Viva Palestina founder. A big NO.... that's banned #1...<br />
<br />
Then, suddenly... yesterday.... 17 more NO banned pops up!<br />
<br />
I don't know what to say....<br />
<br />
Feel so sad for my 17 friends...<br />
<br />
Some of them have already travelled like 5000 km, sleep sitting in the vehicles, get beaten by mosquitoes, sleep in freezing cold weather, not bathe for days, traveling across a few countries just so that they can tell others and create global awareness about the oppressed Palestinians... about Palestinians living under siege.. about Palestinians living in open prison....<br />
<br />
Plus, they also want to send in the wheelchairs, books, toys, pencils, medicines etc to the people of Gaza.<br />
<br />
What is so wrong about that?<br />
<br />
And now, last minute, Egypt say they cannot go to Gaza???<br />
<br />
Haiyo.... this is so wrong... so wrong...<br />
<br />
I wonder if these same people want to go for Pyramid visiting, will they be allowed to enter Egypt?<br />
<br />
Hah.... maybe we should try and test that, right?<br />
<br />
If yes, then it means that Egypt is stopping people from entering her soil just because she wants to stop these people from entering her neighbouring country, right??<br />
<br />
Can ke, like that?<br />
<br />
So illogical....<br />
<br />
But again, what has logic got to do when it comes to the Palestinian issue, right?<br />
<br />
Just look at the all UN response if you don't believe me...<br />
<br />
I am ciplak-ing Dr Musa's plus one from Adnan post about a few of our banned convoy members... no need to reinvent the wheel, right guys?<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1 Sh Ismail is an 83 year old Jordanian and was always in the first saff of tahhajud prayers. After prayers he would sit with the young hafizs and offer his wisdom and counsel. He was on mavi marmara. His son has also been banned. Sheikh spoke passionately for George Galloway to be allowed on the ship but he suffered a similar fate right now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2 Our muezzin was also banned. He was always first to rise at 0330 hrs to spread the prayer carpets and fix the sound system. I cried for him cos I got to know him so well. In Jordan he was the imam of a masjid but he humbled himself to be just muezzin and pushed all the younger hafiz to lead the prayers. He always led the reading of the al- mathurat after subuh and he has such a beautiful n moving voice. I will miss him terribly.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">3 One of the Turks is two doors from our dorm. He is such a lovable man always smiling and raising his hands to his heart when greeting us. He was on the mavi. Just this morning at 6 am I offered him cappuccino and he gracefully said no and thank you and smiled. And he was walking up and down the dorm corridors listening to Sh Husayry quranic recitation. The many Turks would crowd around him. I will miss his smile.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">4 Each of them have a painful story to tell. One Jordanian man was in gaza on vp3. He promised a seven year old girl that he would be back with more toys for her. He has lots of toys but his heart bleeds cos he will not be there to see the happiness on the child face !</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">5 Another Jordanian who was on mavi was glad that on his return from the ship he was able to answer all the questions from his children about the flotilla. How is he going to face his children now ? How is he going to respond to the innocent questions from his kids with the foul games men play?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">6 Egypt mistook Amina, an activist from UK as George Galloway's wife. George explained that his ex-wife was Amina, and it is certainly not this Amina who is single. He said Amina would not marry him anyway.<br />
<br />
7 Zaki, who has never been in convoy is also banned. How is a person not in convoy being banned from entering Egypt?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">May Allah bless these noble souls over n over.

<br />
Yesterday was a reality check day for all of us- the temporary campers in the Ex Refugee Camp in Latakia, Syria.<br />
<br />
After receiving news of the approval, and getting confirmation of the date and time of sailing, we started to pack our things.<br />
<br />
And while I do that in my little castle, I started to feel sad....<br />
<br />
Haaa, Zabrina... before you start jumping up and down thinking I don't want to leave Latakia go to Gaza and come back home.... relax... ok.... let me explain....<br />
<br />
It is not that I am not excited to start sailing to Gaza.... believe me... I would have swim my way to El Arish if they let me...<br />
<br />
But the fact that we have been staying here for about maybe 12 days has made this camp a place of memories for me..... both happy and sad....<br />
<br />
Happy sebab because of the long period, I get to know the activists closer... get to know them deeper.... share activities... share knowledge.... share experience.... share notes... share food...hehe....<br />
<br />
Ok, ok... i will be serious....<br />
<br />
Not only the activists, we also get to know the amazingly happy Palestinians although they are oppressed and live in hardship... no anti-depressant pill used, ok....<br />
<br />
You know, Zab... they have been great host to us, made us feel really at home, invited us to their weddings, asked us to come over for makan-makan their delicious home made food etc etc etc....<br />
<br />
Aiyo... why am I always remembering food nie?<br />
<br />
But my sad memories pulak... because here in Latakia... I begin to understand the harsh conditions the Palestinian refugees have to live with...<br />
<br />
Jem and Azian, remember the pictures of wires hanging around the houses you guys showed me and Zab after your trip back from the Summer Camp in Lebanon?<br />
<br />
I think the situation is the same over here....<br />
<br />
Their homes have no proper wiring installed... no proper sewage system... no one will come and collect your rubbish and litter....<br />
<br />
And I feel very sad because so many times whenever I meet the Palestinians ladies, some will ask if they can come with us to Gaza....<br />
<br />
'Our home, sister Azura...' this is what they said to me...<br />
<br />
Can you imagine.... first they force you out from your hometown and country, destroy your houses and take your land.....<br />
<br />
Then they put your somewhere in a refugee camp....<br />
<br />
Still not enough.... right?<br />
<br />
Generations later, you are still not allowed or forbidden to return to where your home town or kampung is.... but, other people who are totally not related can go there??<br />
<br />
How is that fair?<br />
<br />
How is that just?<br />
<br />
How is that ..... ?<br />
<br />
Ishhh... if I think about it, this blog post will not turn out the way I plan....<br />
<br />
As I look around me... trying to remember and memorize every inch of the area of the camp... i know now I will miss this place...<br />
<br />
And for memories, here are the many photos taken by different activists documenting our lives in Latakia, Syria... thank you guys for sharing this photos....<br />
<br />
Goodbye Latakia.... Thank you for being good and kind to us....<br />
<br />
Love always,<br />
Azura<br />

<br />
Yesterday, the feeling in our camp was amazing. Everyone was all pumped up and roaring to go.<br />
<br />
Myself included...<br />
<br />
I feel like I have just woken up from a bad dream... and now I am in a La-La land where all are nice and sweet.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I had to pinch myself- Is it real that I am going to set foot in Gaza in a few days time, inshaAllah? Betul ke nie?<br />
<br />
If this is also a dream, no one wake me up, ok... I will probably punch you... haha...<br />
<br />
The thought of entering Gaza, Palestine is the reason why at times I senyum-senyum sorang2... couldn't help smiling la.... Being in Gaza is one of my sweetest dreams....<br />
<br />
Then during our morning meeting where Kevin explained the latest happenings and give us the updates, he showed us a plastic bag.<br />
<br />
What is so special about this plastic bag?<br />
<br />
The person who gave Kevin this bag was an old, old man. And a poor one too, with nothing much to spare.<br />
<br />
But the moment he found out that we are preparing to go to Gaza, he bought some groceries with the little Syrian pounds he had, put them in the plastic bag and gave it to one of our volunteers....<br />
<br />
'Please take it...', I can imagine him saying it...<br />
<br />
Huyooo.... emosi sekejap.... like Dr Musa say... we all became very smonel (emotional) for a moment....<br />
<br />
Zab, if you are here, I dont know what will happen.... probably cry and insist on looking for this Atuk....<br />
<br />
Then I remembered something...<br />
<br />
We are all leaving for Gaza to meet and deliver humanitarian aid for the oppressed Palestinians; but at the same time we are leaving these beautiful Palestinians in Syria who have been kicked out of their own land and now live as refugees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Syria alone has embraced 600,000 Palestinian refugees since the heartless Zionist Regime of Israel invade and illegally occupy Palestine.<br />
<br />
To my family and friends, Zabrina has collected some pictures taken at the Palestinian Refugee Camp in Latticka, Syria by other activists in this convoy.<br />
<br />
While we are helping the Palestinians in Gaza Break the Siege, let us never forget the Palestinians who has lost their homes and thrown out of their own land.<br />
<br />
Let us help them to get their Rights to Return to Palestine, coz that's where they came from and that's where they really belong....<br />
<br />

<br />
I can barely control myself right now!!!<br />
<br />
Today, after close to about 10 long, testing, dragging days- Viva Palestina Convoy 5 volunteers received the news we have been waiting for all this while.<br />
<br />
Tweets and text messages were flying out the window carrying this great news from all over.<br />
<br />
And the news is this....<br />
<br />
At 6.57pm Syrian time, Kevin, our Chief of VP called the Egyptian Embassy in Damascus and received confirmation from Dr Mohd Fayyumi that Viva Palestina Convoy 5 has received <b><u>FULL permission </u></b>to sail from Latakia to El Arish Port using any number of ships!<br />
<br />
My heart skipped a beat upon hearing this news.<br />
<br />
Breathe Azura... breathe....<br />
<br />
Ya Allah... Zabrina!!!! Did you hear that??<br />
<br />
WE are going to Gaza, babe!!<br />
<br />
WE are actually going to Gaza!!<br />
<br />
WE, as in you and me; and the whole supporters and donors of Viva Palestina 5 Land Convoy!!<br />
<br />
Egypt has finally turned her stop-red light to a go-ahead bright flashing green!<br />
<br />
And I think a thank you is in order, so, thank you Egypt....<br />
<br />
We will start sailing on Friday inshaAllah. Right now, Viva Palestina is arranging the ship to come from Cyprus to Latakia to pick us up and bring us to El Arish, Egypt.<br />
<br />
Eh, sounds like macam naik cab pulak... haha...<br />
<br />
And Zab, you cannot imagine how crazy the atmosphere over here right now.<br />
<br />
Just in a split second, the celebration began. Almost all the flags that are not tied up are waving and music can be heard from miles away.<br />
<br />
Everyone is jumping, hopping, hugging, dancing, singing and of course, crying.<br />
<br />
And if you, Jem and Azian are here- I think what 4 of us would do is only one thing -- crying!!!<br />
<br />
Oh, wait, on second thought, I think you and Jem would be jumping and hopping too- just like little cute bunnies! Lol!!<br />
<br />
Me and Azian are way too cool to jump or hop around...hehe...<br />
<br />
As I chocked trying to collect my thoughts and calm my heart, I whispered to my Lord, the Greatest Planner of all.<br />
<br />
Ya Allah, I humbled myself in front of You, and I thank You, full of gratitude for making this day come true for us all...<br />
<br />
Overwhelmingly happy,<br />
Azura from Latakia.<br />
<br />
(posted for Azura by Sis Zabrina who wishes she is actually crying joyously while jumping and hopping next to Azura even if she looks like a little bunny!)<br />
<br />
<br />
p/s Dr Musa, sorry I hijacked your pictures for my blog. Biasa la, kan.... cannot sent mms anymore to Zab.... must be Ms Zi punya kerja....<br />

<br />
Yesterday, in her sms messages, Zabrina told me of the high level of activities Viva Palestina Malaysia had these past two days, meeting the officials to facilitate the speedy entrance of the convoy into Gaza.<br />
<br />
On Monday, at about 10.30 am VPM activists has made their way to the Egyptian Embassy in Malaysia to send in their appeal letter for an immediate departure date of Viva Palestina 5 Land Convoy to Gaza.<br />

Then, later in the evening, they went to an interview in TV3 to make public their appeal to the Egyptian Government to let the Viva Palestina Convoy 5 sail to El Arish Port in Egypt.<br />

And the very next day, Sis Jamilah & Sis Elya met the Minister of Foreign Affairs Datuk<br />
Anifah Aman at Parliament, Deputy Minister & senior Ministry officials. The Minister was presented with the press release & letters sent to the Egyptian embassy. It was explained that the Egyptian embassy had cited two reasons why Cairo has yet to give the go-ahead for the convoy to move on ie security concerns in Rafah and the size of the convoy. Datuk Anifah promised to take the issue up with his counterpart in Egypt and to try reach a compromise in that the convoy be allowed to set sail immediately from Lattakia to El-Arish and wait at El-Arish for further instructions. They also met Datuk Mahfuz Omar, Deputy President PAS/MP for Pokok Sena who appeared concerned about the fact that the convoy is stuck at Lattakia & said he would bring it up in Parliament.<br />

<br />
How are you guys back home? Doing well?<br />
<br />
It has been 8 days now in Latakia, Syria. Egypt still has not given us the date to sail to El Arish Port.<br />
<br />
And during the first few days of this 8-days stretch, Zabrina complained to me ...<br />
<br />
Wak, why la your sms so far apart and few?... response pun so slow?....<br />
<br />
Haiyo, Zab.... I forgot to tell you... I was so busy doing my bit to administer the loading of the humanitarian aid into the vehicles...<br />
<br />
So sorry....<br />
<br />
And then she got curious and asked what are the things that were loaded into the vehicles.<br />
<br />
<br />
And like Zab, many others were curious, wanting to know what are the items loaded into our 143 vehicles!<br />
<br />
I would too, if I am them.<br />
<br />
Especially, if I have contributed in some way to this Land Convoy, right? .... must know where and how my precious ringgits were spend!<br />
<br />
So, for my curious Zab, friends and donors to VP Convoy out there, let me briefly explain the content of all Viva Palestina 5 Global Lifeline to Gaza vehicles.<br />
<br />
It is simple, really....<br />
<br />
Generally, the items or aids we are sending into Gaza are in form of medicines, medical equipment, surgical equipment, school supplies and educational equipment.<br />
<br />
Some of the details are below:<br />
<br />
- Medicines includes tablets, syrups and injectables.<br />
- Dressings mainly disposables for operations and wounds.<br />
- Special stoma bags for colostomies (gut brought to skin surface and draining faeces)<br />
<br />
We also have various medical equipment including urinary catheters, feeding tubes, chest tubes and artificial airways.<br />
<br />
There are resuscitation equipments for examples ambu bag and oxygen pipes.<br />
<br />
Some surgical appliances we have are surgical scissors and surgical sets<br />
<br />
There is also a machine for rapid tests for usage in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)<br />
<br />
For babies of Gaza, we have some infant ventilators and specialised baby milk formulas.<br />
<br />
Last but not the least, for the eager-to-learn and brilliant school children in the Gaza, among the things we have for them are stationaries, notebooks, school bags, papers, minimal clothing, some computers, some shoes, some educational equipment and of course, books.<br />
<br />
And yes, Zab, I was chewing my gums while on duty loading these things! Somehow it helps me think... Lol!<br />
<br />
And for all out there, enjoy the pictures below showing the humanitarian aid to Gaza made possible from all your donations and contribution to the Viva Palestina Land Convoy 5.<br />
<br />
Till then,<br />
Azura...<br />
<br />

Viva Palestina Land Convoy 5Salam dearest all,<br />
<br />
Yesterday, after posting up my Casa de Azura castle/bungalow pictures, I was asked why am I sleeping in a tent when there are actually beds available?<br />
<br />
Aunty Mimi (Dr Musa's +1) asked if I actually sleep inside the tent?<br />
<br />
Zabrina was sooo curious coz she saw many pictures of rooms with beds available. So, why does Azura sleeps in a tent, right?<br />
<br />
A few others even feel so sad (for me) thinking I was not given any bed....<br />
<br />
To my dear family and friends out there, dont worry ok...<br />
<br />
I want to declare that me, Azura, sleep in a tent because I want and choose to!<br />
<br />
Eh, nice la sleeping in the tent... Really.... trust me....<br />
<br />
As for the reasons why I am sleeping in a tent, I will share, but for only one reason.<br />
<br />
No, no... actually two reasons...<br />
<br />
One is for the benefit of others who wants to join any future convoy and;<br />
<br />
Two is for others who might still think we are here on a holiday trip.<br />
<br />
And the reason is this:<br />
<br />
When we arrived, the mattresses in my room had lizard feces all over it, and the room was full of cobwebs.<br />
<br />
And when I look up, I saw some strange orange looking lizard! Not like the light brown ones we have back home.<br />
<br />
So, of course, no need to explain why the orange looking lizard crawling in the room actually freaks me out, right? Lol!<br />
<br />
But still, I wanted to try sleeping there. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, my body started itching after a short while sitting on the mattress.<br />
<br />
Haiyoo.... I can tahan many things, but one thing I do not want to deal with right now is gatal2 and itchiness.<br />
<br />
And because I don't want to have red spots all over, and don't want to spend my energy scratching here and there, I decided to sleep in my sleeping bag that night...<br />
<br />
Lucky I did!<br />
<br />
Some people who didn't use sleeping bags while sleeping on the mattresses were scratching away the next day!<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's when I decided to sleep in the tent. Which is now has turned into my own personal castle...<br />
<br />
Excellent! Hehe....<br />
<br />
So, again... don't worry, coz I am happy sleeping in my castle!!<br />
<br />
And happier still coz in my castle, I get to dream and berangan what will it feel like to be in Gaza....<br />
<br />
.... and hold those little Gazans children in my arms, and play balloons with them..... and hugging them... and let them hold my hands with their tiny little fingers.....<br />
<br />
(Zab, Jem and Azian, don't cry now...)<br />
<br />
Till then!<br />
Azura from Latakia...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
It has been quite a few days since I last posted.<br />
<br />
So much going on, with very little time in between.<br />
<br />
But I thought, I should just update everyone with whatever I can right now.<br />
<br />
I am well and healthy, so no worries, ok...<br />
<br />
Very happy to be surrounded with amazing people who eat, drink and sleep Palestine! Lol!<br />
<br />
If the Egyptian and her conspirators think that they will break us by delaying this convoy, they are in for a big big surprise. Actually, what they are doing is making us more and more and more closer to one another, and more and more and more determine to help the Palestinians...<br />
<br />
If the Palestinians can stand this for 60++ years, we sure can stand whatever thrown to us too, inshaAllah.<br />
<br />
And it rained cats and dogs yesterday night. Although suddenly it became so freezing sejuk, I feel like it is blessings from Allah pouring on us.<br />
<br />
Just that we had to work really hard to save all aid from soaking. Maybe Allah's way to make us exercise a bit more...hehe....<br />
<br />
But dont worry, everything is saved, alhamdulillah!<br />
<br />
And thanks to Dr Musa, he took two pictures of what he called my bungalow and sent them to my VPM friends. And Zabrina decided to post them although I feel shy about it...<br />
<br />
Also, I have to say that since my bungaow is sooooo exclusive, I only accept one visitor at a time...<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, welcome to De Casa of Azura....<br />

<br />
Today morning, I was awaken by the ringing of my phone.<br />
<br />
As it was dark, I could not locate my phone fast enough, and the ringing stopped.<br />
<br />
Squinting my eyes, I tried looking at the phone screen and saw Zabrina's number.<br />
<br />
'Salam Zab, did you call? Sorry, I missed it. It is 5.50am over here....' was my text to her.<br />
<br />
'Oppss... sorry Azura, I just haven't heard from you or Azra for sometime; and I got worried...cannot sleep...'<br />
<br />
I don't blame you Zab, for worrying.<br />
<br />
I have been traveling aka driving for the last 20+++ hours, from Adana, Turki to Latakia, Syria!<br />
<br />
And as the phone signal was very unstable. None of my messages got thru to Zab.<br />
<br />
But, nevertheless, still amazing, right?<br />
<br />
Our convoy's journey started at about 9.00am and lasted that long.... just look at the map below (which I again ciplak from Aqsa Syarif's FB. Sorry guys, too tired to find my own map!)<br />

</tbody></table>To all my family members and friends, I find it a bit challenging to update my fb, twitter, blog in Syria; and even to sent text messages and mms to you Zab.<br />
<br />
So, bear with me for a moment until I can figure things out...<br />
<br />
Also, just so you know, the news about Malaysians killed etc etc etc are all big fat rumours! Don't believe them... anything you need to know, call Zabrina ok?<br />
<br />
And right now, we are at the camp in Syria... all busy preparing for the arrival of hundreds of other activists joining us just before we board the ship to Gaza.<br />
<br />
Did I just say Gaza??<br />
<br />
Gaza!!<br />
<br />
Haiyo.... by just mentioning the name Gaza makes me feel so excited....heart pumping so fast....<br />
<br />
I really cannot wait to set foot on the land where just 2 years ago, I watched in horror and tears seeing the white phosphorus used to kill and murder innocent people...<br />
<br />
Wait my dearest Gazans, we are all here coming for you!!<br />
<br />
Hish, tak sabarnye.....<br />
<br />
Take care all, inshaAllah, will write again soon!<br />
<br />
Hugs from Syria,<br />
Azura<br />

<br />
One of the things that we do in Turkey was to pay respect and visit the graves of the martyr.<br />
<br />
Once, I was walking to the grave alongside a young man who said that the martyr was his teacher. And how he loves and misses his teacher so much...<br />
<br />
He was an inspiration to his students. His good nature and pure heart has brought him to Gaza before, and he used to bring back some soil from Gaza. And now, his student asked if I can bring some of the Turkish soil back to Gaza pulak...<br />
<br />
Ya Allah.... feel so sebak (Jem and Mike: this is choking), geram (upset/angry/tension all mixed up) and sedih (sad)... <br />
<br />
3 in 1....<br />
<br />
Choking for obvious reasons...<br />
<br />
Upset coz how can the world let these brutal Zionist behave like this and not do anything... how can we, human, let our fellow humans being murdered without feeling guilty.... nak suruh stop makan McD, Coke, Nestle and use L'Oreal pun susah and so many arguments even if they are being presented with FACTS that these companies contribute to Zionists regime... like they dont mind helping the Zionist buy bullets to kill babies, children, women, men, activists etc etc...<br />
<br />
Sad coz thinking of this man's family, students etc who loves him and misses him....<br />
<br />
And when we were in Kayseri, we got the chance to visit the grave of Bro Furkan Dogan, the 19 year old American Turkish who was shot between 4-5 times in his face by the heartless Zionist commanders during his humanitarian mission to send aid to the oppressed people of Gaza last May 2010.<br />
<br />
Do you remember the bloody flotilla incident? <br />
<br />
Clearly, Bro Furkan Dogan is the pride of his community in Kaiseri.<br />
<br />
His story has inspired us in the convoy to continue and not stop no matter what it takes to End the Occupation on Palestine and Break the Siege on Gaza!<br />
<br />
I texted Zabrina to ask her to search for Furkan story and Zab told me that she has two youtube videos to share.<br />
<br />
Below are his videos and some pictures I took when I was in Kaiseri...<br />

<br />
What can I say about Turkey and its amazing people....<br />
<br />
I can never forget the image sent to me that even after an hour our convoy left Turkey, they are still standing on the roadsides, touching their hearts while waving goodbye.... felt so touched... a feeling I cannot describe... tak terkata rasanya....<br />
<br />
They are so passionate and have been fighting on the issue of Palestine for many years and today, when I was with them, they clearly showed how happy they are that we came from all over the world for the same cause.<br />
<br />
I remembered at one of the receptions, I was bonding with a beautiful family of mother, daughter and a small son. And the little boy was so sweet and adorable, tagging along me and even asked if I got an FB account.<br />
<br />
Of course I do, sweetheart... and also I told him to start learning English coz when they come in 4 years time to visit Malaysia, we can really chit and chat then!<br />
<br />
Right now its like... well, you know...<br />
<br />
And before I left, they gave me a gorgeous ring to symbolize our friendship or is there a word like familyship?<br />
<br />
... I was so touched...feel like crying..... I wish I have something else than my address and phone number to give to them... thank you my dearest new family.... thank you.... you are always and will always be in my heart....<br />
<br />
I texted Zabrina to tell her that if she and Azian were both here with me, we will cry buckets together...<br />
<br />
She said, definitely, and said that if we add Jem in, we might just flood Gaza with our tears...<br />
<br />
So true, Zab... so true....<br />
<br />
I am so overwhelmed right now.... cant say much.... till then....<br />
<br />
Missing Zab, Azian, Jem and VPM,<br />

<br />
Today morning, Zabrina texted and told me that the Viva Palestina Malaysia interview with the Al Amin school children about their drawing project on TV3 went well.<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah... I cannot wait to see the uploaded youtube video.<br />
<br />
Zab also told me about the VPM project for Children under the Friendship Committee that is called<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/MY-Palestinian-Friends/122008384520657"> 'My Palestinian Friends' on Facebook.</a><br />
<br />
This project is to help children around the world generally, and Malaysian children specifically to understand what is happening in Gaza....<br />
<br />
And why Aunty Azura, Aunty Azra, Uncle Faizal, Uncle Zin and so many other uncles and aunties are driving towards Gaza right now!<br />
<br />
So, to all my cutie pies out there, if you are curious about what is happening in Gaza, watch the video below, ok?<br />

<br />
I am now in Ankara, Turkey.<br />
<br />
And I can 'smell' Gaza from here.... so excited....<br />
<br />
Since the day we entered Turkey, first in Istanbul and now Ankara, the feelings I have cannot be described.<br />
<br />
It is amazing, fantastic and bombastic to say the least...<br />
<br />
I met so many humanitarian activists especially from IHH, including the ones who were on Mavi Marmara- the ship that got attacked, hijacked and kidnapped by the infamous zero-feeling and zero-heart Zionist regime.<br />
<br />
I even get to meet one of the ladies on Mavi Marmara. Her name is Meral... I was so inspired by her....<br />
<br />
Although there are times when we all are like cute and pretty (coz IHH got us nice homes to sleep and bathe) ducks and chicken talking, using sign languages and all- that didn't stop us from yakkity yakkity yak!<br />
<br />
Somehow, we managed to make sense what the storyline was about... Haha...<br />
<br />
Once we were driving on the road, we used the word 'Gaza' and 'Mavi Marmara' to a lady who was by the roadside, and suddenly she starting crying!<br />
<br />
Ayoyo... I felt so guilty.... and sad....<br />
<br />
Then, there were many speeches too.<br />
<br />
During one of the speeches, George Galloway, founder of Viva Palestina, mentioned that we soon will be traveling using the same sea route Mavi Marmara used and when we reached the exact spot of the attack, we will throw flowers etc as a gesture of remembrance of the innocent and kindhearted humanitarian activists who were murdered there.<br />
<br />
I quickly text-ed Zabrina to tell her about this exciting news and that my will is on the way.<br />
<br />
She said one more time such talk, she will fly here and personally throw me off the ferry.<br />
<br />
Lol! Relax Zab.... just pulling your leg...<br />
<br />
But then, I also said to her, she might as well do that, coz at the frequency of our texting, she could have bought a flight ticket to Gaza!<br />
<br />
She said, maybe la...but only in cargo section!<br />
<br />
Zab, Zab.... cargo or not, next time, I will drag you, Azian and Jem if I have to and come with me to Gaza!<br />
<br />
Muah Muah from Turkey,<br />

<br />
Recently, in one of my text messages to Zabrina, I told her that our vehicle was overheated and had a breakdown. So, we left it at the sports complex where we stayed for the night.<br />
<br />
We then were asked to join in the vehicle driven by a group of Pakistani brothers from Bristol, UK...<br />
<br />
And my, my... what a pleasant and sweet surprise me and Azra had when riding the van. We suddenly heard a very familiar voice and an even more familiar song.<br />
<br />
And what are these brothers playing?<br />
<br />
The infamous Nasheed group from Malaysia- Raihan! Yoohoo!<br />
<br />
Feel so proud at that moment... and a little bit homesick... a little bit only....<br />
<br />
Bravo Raihan!<br />
<br />
When I told Zabrina about it, she said that I should snappy snap some pictures of the UK brothers who can sing Malaysian nasheed songs.<br />
<br />
So, Zab, this is because of you. But I got only one.... and like they say, better one than none, right? :))<br />

<br />
As I mingle around with my activist friends in the convoy, I saw many different types of tee designs, caps and button badges which I thought I want to share with you.<br />
<br />
Who knows... maybe these pictures can give idea for future designs, right?<br />
<br />
Here are some of them...<br />

<br />
A video to capture the arrival of Viva Palestina 5 Convoy into Turkey.<br />
<br />
In this video, the Viva Palestina Convoy organised stressed that among the items we are bringing into Gaza is 10 Million Dollars worth of MEDICAL AID and also an appeal to the Egyptian Government to let the Convoy thru to deliver the humanitarian aid.<br />

<br />
Yesterday, in between meeting the great and wonderful people of Turkey, I was chatting with one of my convoy friends about one of my favourite subjects, you know..... Gaza, Palestine, BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanction) Campaign on companies such as McD, Coca Cola, Starbuck, Nestle and others that support and fund the Zionist Regime etc etc.<br />
<br />
Remembered Mike at this point.... Mike, you will definitely enjoy this talk if you were here!<br />
<br />
And really, its always great t talking with these people and exchange ideas.<br />
<br />
It is very important that we know how our money are used to supply bullets etc to kill Palestinians when we go shopping their products...<br />
<br />
I/We work so hard everyday, to feed our parents, ourselves, our children, to send them to school, pay bills, buy medicine, pay our houses loan, pay home rental, pay our car installments etc etc...... then when we go shopping, we 'accidentally' sponsor bullet to kill someone else's children ie the Palestinian's children, sponsor to destroy the Palestinians houses, sponsor to destroy schools in Palestine, sponsor to block medicine from entering Gaza, sponsor to stop food to be eaten by Gazans, sponsor to make a child an orphan, to make a woman widowed etc etc etc<br />
<br />
Hish, think about it .... Can we sleep peacefully at night?<br />
<br />
I know I definitely cannot.... I cannot eat the food from places I know one bite from me = sponsoring one horrible act from the listed above.<br />
<br />
No way hoze!!!<br />
<br />
But one thing, good to know around the world, there are more and more people already waken up to this truth.<br />
<br />
Anyway, not sure how, but from talking about boycott, my conversation turned into songs about Palestine, Oppression.<br />
<br />
And one of my friends told me how he loved Lowkey songs..<br />

</tbody></table>I said, who?<br />
<br />
'Lowkey... you don't know him?'<br />
<br />
Alamak... malu sekejap....<br />
<br />
So, my friend started to tell me about this young British singer/rapper famously known as<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowkey"> Lowkey.</a><br />
<br />
One of his songs is called Long Live Palestine!<br />
<br />
Quickly I sms-ed Zabrina, and asked her to look for Lowkey video to post on my Blog/Tweeter/FB.<br />
<br />
She said, who?<br />
<br />
So, I said, Lowkey... you dont know him? Hehe....<br />
<br />
And Zabrina said selamba-ly..... no.....<br />
<br />
I hope you guys can watch Lowkey's video below and read the lyrics too ya.<br />
<br />
He is simply amazing!<br />
<br />
Free Free Palestine!<br />

<br />
I am now in Greece- by the seaside, watching the beautiful sea... enjoying the sepoi-sepoi wind...closing my semi-tired and semi-puffy eyes while dreaming of what it will be like to step into Gaza very very soon...<br />
<br />
Bliss, right? Indeed it is!<br />
<br />
But, before any of my friends out there think that I am on a holiday trip, sitting by the beach, let me tell you first that;<br />
<br />
one- my bed has been my car seat the last 2 nights (all muscles stiff + painful);<br />
two- I am now an expert in using portable toilets (can give kursus after this) and;<br />
three- I was just able to shower after more than 36 hours!!<br />
<br />
And some of us here didnt get to shower more than 48 hours...<br />
<br />
So, I am not in Holiday Inn or Hilton or Double Tree, ok...<br />
<br />
In fact, we were locked out of one of our sleeping areas last night!<br />
<br />
After a full day of awareness activities, campaign around town in Greece, doing demo in town The Stadio Neo Rissio at Themes district, proudly driving our Viva Palestina 5 stickered vehicles with flags and talking to the nice people of Greece about Palestinians and their severe oppression, we went back to our camping site (full of sweat, very the smelly and horribly tired) just to find the entrance gates are locked!<br />
<br />
Haiyooo.... got so annoyed.<br />
<br />
Amazing what ppl willing to do to stop and deter the efforts of goodness. But, if you think by locking us out, you'll deter us, you are seriously wrong, my man... seriously wrong...<br />
<br />
So, this is no holiday, I can assure you..<br />
<br />
But today we get to sleep at this beautiful park in tents, that has electricity and internet free wifi!! Alhamdulillah...<br />
<br />
And of course, all of us frantically and kelam-kabut started charging everything that needed to be charged. For some of us, bathing vs charging- choose charging!! Haha...<br />
<br />
Whey, I choose bathing first then charging ok... how much deodorant can I put on to cover, right?<br />
<br />
When I started charging, I did my phone first coz if my phone without battery, I will be cut off from sending messages and pictures to Zab.<br />
<br />
Talking about Zab, I sent her some messages on Saturday, but got no respond.<br />
<br />
So pelik (Jem, this means weird) that Zab is so silent.<br />
<br />
Then on Sunday morning, I sent la another message asking if she is ok coz so 'quiet' on Saturday.<br />
<br />
'Azura, you forgot ke? I have an open house yesterday, remember? I told you already babe!'<br />
<br />
Oh no!!!<br />
<br />
Open House for Eid. I wondered how many open houses I have missed.<br />
<br />
I warned Zab not to tell me about the food she served...<br />
<br />
But she did say she remembered all hundreds of her convoy family, so, she bought 2 long sticks meant for house painting, and put up two flags - one Malaysian and one Palestinian flag in front on her house.<br />
<br />
Wow, so cool beb! I asked where she got the Palestinian flag, she said from where you think? I know already the answer. She must have 'stole' it from VPM office!<br />
<br />
And she told me her partner in crime was Jem! Lol!!<br />
<br />
Ish..ish..ish... what 'notti' (read: naughty) friends I have back home.. haha...<br />
<br />
While there was electricity and internet, I finally got to watch Zabrina's interview with the Al Amin children who drew pictures for the friends in Gaza featured on TV3 during the news segment. ... the segment was so cool... it makes me miss her even more....<br />
<br />
Ok, I better stop before someone thinks I have nothing better to do than berleter on the blog.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, we are moving to Turkey, inshaAllah! Pray for us!<br />
<br />
Smiles,<br />
Azura<br />
