Happy Earth Day!🌍 Today marks the 18th day for me and hubby went plant-based, vegan for most of the days🥰🌱 The 1st day I tried going vegan I thought I couldn't make it for more than 2 days, but glad that we make it this far and hope to make it our lifestyle💕 As a meat eater for 30 years, it's extremely hard to accustom to being vegetarian and what's more vegan. My surroundings, environment and culture are very used to consumed meat and I was the same too. Trying to change a 30 years habit is hard. I didn't change overnight. I always love animals since I was young. For me if I love animals, I shouldn't eat them, any of them, I can't be selective, I love cat but I eat chicken for example. I always feel bad every time I eat meat and my family and hubby know this very well. The first time I saw an article about plant-based was when I was in University. I told myself one day I hope to not consumed meat at all. So about 2 years back, for some days, I tried vegetarian and eating less meat. I also understand better what's happening around me about animal cruelty, food industry, why go vegan and the planet as a whole. Why I chose to go vegan? Interestingly, last 3 weeks, I watched 4 Netflix Documentaries that for me is a MUST WATCH for everyone. The show 💚Seaspiracy 💚Cowspiracy 💚Milk System 💚Game Changer makes me and hubby felt we need to change, slowly. The next day, we just said, let's go vegan today, and blessed, we survived better than we thought we would. Yes, it was tough, initially the struggle is real, but when you learn more, experience, be patient, you can do anything, including turn your life around. I have so many things I want to learn and still learning. It's exciting because I can now say I love animals without feeling guilty as I felt before. We went vegan before Ramadhan, and we still stayed vegan during Ramadhan too. We eat so much less now, our fitness performance is better even during Ramadhan, blessed, we can even skate and jog during fasting. So many things to share, will share more in IG stories and upcoming posts. You may swipe left if you want to explore more about Vegan/plant-based and Why😊💚

‎Abraj Al-Bait or The Tower of the Houses. This complex of seven skyscraper hotels with the central Makkah Royal Clock Tower is metres away from the Great Mosque. Previously there stood Ajyad Fortress, an Ottoman citadel on a hill overlooking the Grand Mosque built in 1780 in order to protect the Kaaba from bandits and invaders. The destruction of this historic structure stirred protests but was still carried out to make way for the world's largest clock face, the third-tallest building and fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world according to Wikipedia. Out with the old, in with the new? The word ‘torn’ comes to mind. Standing at the bus depot about to board our coach to Madina, I said goodbye to this building we had fondly grown accustom to. It was home away from home. We had many fond memories and one of them was being woken up in the early hours of the morning by the calling of prayer coming directly from the Masjidil Haram into our room on our first morning there. We weren’t prepared for it and we jumped out of bed when we heard it loud and clear through our hotel room’s speakers. Dazed and confused seeing that we thought we had set up our alarms for the adzan much later with intention so sholat subuh at the mosque, we got up did our prayers and later went back to bed. Then once we were again fast asleep, a 2nd adzan was called out. Jumping out of bed again, we were puzzled. Turns out the 1st adzan was a wake up call, the 2nd being the actual call for prayer and a short third one was to indicate jemaah prayer was about to begin. Yes. 3 times. Here they don’t mess about. Honestly it was nice though to be able to join in the jemaah prayers whilst the prayer recitations was broadcasted live into our room. Love! Mekkah was everything I thought it would be and although it’s changed so much from when I saw it through a 15 year old’s eyes, it’s charm and exoticness never fail to make me feel welcomed. But oh! I’m so going to miss that view though.
