Ethiopian Experience

Addis Ababa

(15 Apr & 25 Apr, 2013)

When we decided to perform our 11th Umrah, POTO Travel offered a package to include Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as a transit point and a day tour was arranged for us to visit interesting places. It was a short stay but it was quite a wonderful experience.

Addis Ababa is the largest and most populous city in Ethiopia. Here we discovered the cultural and historical highlights of Ethiopia's capital city, from the earliest human fossil to the jazz scene.

Life is not an empty dream...

"It is a path on earth to lead our way, a place to stop and rest awhile, for we were never meant to stay..."

'

The journey of life is a stepping stone,
On this path to greater things,

Life is not an empty dream,

If we rejoice in all it brings.

'
Each step we take will bring us closer,

When our journey in life will end,

And time for some is fleeting,

Time for others will extend.

A bad accident...

“Thinking only of the negative aspect doesn't help to find solutions, and it destroys peace of mind…”

We just arrived from Melaka when I received a call from my sister.

My abah just met with a bad accident and was rushed to GH. We drove all the way back to Melaka and went direct to the hospital. Abah was in the emergency unit for almost 6 hours and was only transferred to the ICU after several x-rays and scans and when his blood pressure stabilised. He suffered multiple cuts and bruises and his right leg is broken badly. Abah was sedated heavily yet moaning with pain in his sleep. At the age of 86 years old, my abah is fragile and weak.

My heart is heavy with sadness. Let’s pray that he will recover fast and will not suffer long…
