Near the classroom window
Is a carefree, sunny spot
Very little time is left on the spring calendar

During class, if I look around
Though wearing the same school uniform,
All of my classmates
Look like adults

With each person’s own future
We start our trip
On each of our backs
Sprout wings
Of our dreams

Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom,
Somewhere hope’s bell resounds
With the freedom of tomorrow,
We’re given courage
Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom,
Somewhere someone is praying
The door to a new world
We open with our own hands

There were times when we fought,
Called each other, and cried
Why do those troubled days
Feel so nostalgic?

During the happy or sad times
If we turned back in the distance,
No matter when
We were never alone

In the middle of our graduation picture,
I smile
The passing season wants to send us off
Good-bye

The petals of these tears go pitter-patter
On these cheeks they come out, flow, and fall
As we look up to the blue sky
And breathe in deeply
The petals of these tears go pitter-patter
Memories of that part make me happy
The stairs to adulthood before our eyes
Together we climb and wave our hands

Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom,
Somewhere hope’s bell resounds
With the freedom of tomorrow,
We are given courage
Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom,
Somewhere someone is praying
The door to a new world
We open with our own hands

The petals of our tears go pitter-patter
Onto these cheeks they come out, flow, and fall
As we look up to the blue sky
And breathe in deeply
The petals of our tears go pitter-patter
The memory of that part makes me happy
The stairs to adulthood before our eyes
Together we climb and wave our hands

Selepas itu, kami pergi melawat Empangan Tinggi (High Dam). Empangan ini merupakan nadi kepada janakuasa eletrik Mesir. Dikatakan bahawa jika empangan ini pecah, nescaya akan tenggelamlah bandar Kaherah yang berhampiran Lembah Nil. Ia memisahkan Tasik Nasser dengan Sungai Nil. Projek pembinaan empangan tersebut adalah antara kerjasama Mesir dengan kerajaan Soviet Union ketika itu, tahun 1960 mula pembinaan, siap pada tahun 1971. Dianggarkan seramai 20,000 orang telah mati dalam pembinaan empangan ini.
Mesir ni kaye sebnrnya, slps perjanjian untuk nationalization of Suez Canal, oleh presiden Gamal Nasser ketika itu. Tp, kesian rakyat diorang x terbela.....

And then, kami bertolak ke Luxor yang jauhnya 3 jam perjalanan dengan bas dari Aswan.
Tiba di hotel New Pola yang lawa skit dari Paradise Hotel di Aswan.

The next day, we went to the Valley of The Kings.
Necropolis. A graveyard for the royal family. Just got a snap of this model of all the tomb present inside this mountain. Why this necropolis situated far away from the city? Because to hide all the treasures from the tomb raider of course. Also, the hot weather helps in preserving the mummies of the kings. There are many tombs here. But the best condition of tomb belongs to King Tut Ankh Amun. Sadly, have to pay another 100LE to get inside it, and see the tomb. What a rip-off!
Well, they got their reasons. For me, it's not worth it, because you cannot take pictures inside the tomb and it is just an empty space with a sarcophagus(rock covering of the coffin).

Then, we went to "hot chicken soup temple" a.k.a Hatshepsut Temple. Nothing special here because of restoration which takes ages to be completed. But, interestingly this temple was built by 'King' Hatshepsut who was a woman! The statue itself revealed that it bore appearances of a woman. People can be easily deceived... if we do not use our brain. So, step up my friend.

Trip to Luxor, Aswan, Abo Simbel - part 1-

Cuti musim panas aku dan rakan2 mesir + 9 org dari jordan pergi melawat
kawasan tinggalan sejarah mesir purba di Luxor, Aswan dan Abo Simbel.
Kami bertolak dari stesen keretapi Giza menuju ke Aswan pd 31/1/2009.
Just nak kongsi beberapa gambar untuk main events sepanjang trip ini.


Setibanya di Aswan, kami terus menuju ke tempat di mana terletaknya 'Obelisk' yang belum siap. Ia ditinggalkan begitu sahaja selepas terdapat keretakan terhadap struktur batunya.
Dianggarkan bahawa jika Obelisk ini siap, ianya merupakan Obelisk terbesar dan terberat dalam sejarah.
iktibar: nak buat besar2 tapi tak bajet bleh pecah plak sbb batu tu x dpt nk tampung the massive weight. lemahnya manusia.







After that, we went to Philae Temple (elephant temple) situated on an island. Got there by a boat. This temple actually had been excavated from its original site (already sunked under Lake Naser). Many temples laready sunked underneath Lake Naser nowadays. But Egyptian government wanted to preserve this temple and there it is standing on an artificially constructed island. According to the myth, this temple is dedicated to Iris. Cannot remember the full details because it is full of bulshit. Humans acting like God? How pathetic. They cannot do anything to stop Allah's will to sink their temple.




2nd day, We woke up early, at 2.30am. Then we went to Abo Simbel 3hours journey from Aswan by bus. Here we could find the Abo Simbel temple. A big one and another smaller one. This is the picture of the big one. It was built by
Ramses II in order to deify him as God and ruler of Egypt during his time. He ruled Egypt for 67 years. This temple also had been excavated from its original site which is now sunked under Lake Naser. 4 statues at the facaet of the temple represent Ramses II himself, as 4 stages of life, from young to old. It is funny though, how someone who claimed to be God but finaly died because of old age... wakakaka
