Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are

something to do,

something to love,

and

something to hope for.

The Islamic New Year is known to Muslims as Ma'al Hijra. Al Hijra is the first day of the Islamic New Year and of the Islamic month of Muharram. It marks the day when Prophet Muhammad began his migration from Mecca to Madinah in Islamic Year 1 (1 AH), 622 CE. Years are counted since the Hijra, which is why Muslim dates has the suffix AH (After Hijra).

The Islamic calendar has twelve lunar months, the beginnings and endings of which are determined by the sighting of the crescent moon.

Helloooooo!

Hi everyone!

Sorry for being quiet for quite sometimes now. Life been busy at work. Work! Work! Work! :) I have been occupied with works after coming back from holiday last October. Whenever I got home or over the weekend, my mind just will not work with me to write anything. LOL. The most I did was taking pictures and uploaded on my flickr (http://www.flickr.com/larra505 )

But today, my body give me a warning, so I am resting at home. Back to work tomorrow.

Anyway, here are few pictures of holiday:

1. Aerial view of Entraygues - a small town / village where the 2 rivers met, River Lot and River Truyere. We stay 4 days there. And I will not forget while staying there we had dinner picnic by the River Lot under the moonlight

2. Among other thing, I love the fresh fruit and vegies at the countryside. Most of the time we will have picnic lunch - anywhere suitable! :) Normally we will go to the morning market to buy fresh barguette and some fresh tomatoes, melon and sometimes other vegies And not to forget this six-letter word, CHEESE. Herbie had managed to convert me to cheese eater!

Lunch picnic by the River Aveyron in Belcastel.

3. Of course, walking / trekking was one of our main activities:

On top of the world ;) during "Black Causse Corniche Walk".  

H during "Chemin La Halage Walk" . It's about 1 and half hr walk that took us to Saint Cirque Lapopie.

4. We did meet nice people throughout our holidays! This picture was taken by a friendly American lady at St. Cirque Lapopie.

BTW, this is the picture where we had dinner under the moonlight beside the River Lot. Can you see Herbie?
