Hurting

That’s hurt.
Physically hurt was not only the pain.
What’s hurt the most is the disappointment
You will never know the one love you will hurt you that much.
And is this forgivable?
Is he still worthwhile to love?
Every people that consult will definitely say “NO”.
You can’t predict one day he might kill you
Be Realistic!

2009-11-17 奇异土耳其之旅 Troy特洛城

土耳其的第一个晚上，我睡的很甜。可能是因为Jet Lag的关系。遗憾的错过了海边的日出。


Troy ,Turkish称呼为Truva.位于canakkale 城市附近。它之所以闻名，原有就是因为一场浪漫的爱情故事而引发了异常战争（Trojan War）。这个传说得由Praim统治的时候，话说他的小儿子，Paris因为爱上了Menelaus的妻子Helen,而一起逃离到Troy 。当Menelaus知道此事时便找他大哥,Agamemnon （Sparta 的统治者）为他报仇。千多辆船只驶到Asia Minor,可惜他们低估了特洛城的防卫实力而被打得一败涂地。就这样这常战争维持了十年。许多战士也在这常战争中牺牲了。到最后，greece 想到了一个法子，就是把剩下的木板做成一个可装载五十名战士的木马，浅入城内来个里应外合。就这样，特洛城被毁灭了。






所以来到Truva, 得看看失去了这么多生命的海峡，考古学家残留下Truva的痕迹，以及根据当时形容而重建的木马，感受战士们在狭窄的木马内的辛苦。

2009-11-16 奇异土耳其之旅 Sultanahmet Square

早点后，大家带着期待的心情向Blue Mosque 出发。 巴士把我们停留在Sultannahmet Square, 位于Blue Mosque 门口的广场。一个拥有数座历史石碑的广场。清晨的人烟特别稀少，温度也相当的低。容易发冷的雾连忙带上厚重的手套听导游解说去。沿途中，也有不少售货员向我们兜售Istanbul的旅行书籍。

Sultannahmet Square, 以前又名 Hippodrome of Constantinople

曾经是罗马风靡一时的U型跑马场。

广场南方
The German Fountain ("The Kaiser Wilhelm Fountain"), an octagonal domed fountain in neo-Byzantine style, which was constructed by the German government in 1900 to mark the German Emperor Wilhelm II's visit to Istanbul in 1898, is located at the northern entrance to the Hippodrome area, right in front of the Blue Mosque.

Another emperor to adorn the Hippodrome was Theodosius the Great, who in 390 brought an obelisk from Egypt and erected it inside the racing track. Carved from pink granite, it was originally erected at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor during the reign of Tuthmosis III in about 1490 BC. Theodosius had the obelisk cut into three pieces and brought to Constantinople. Only the top section survives, and it stands today where Theodosius placed it, on a marble pedestal. The obelisk has survived nearly 3,500 years in astonishingly good condition.

The base of the Obelisk of Thutmosis III showing Emperor Theodosius as he offers a laurel wreath to the victor from the Kathisma at the Hippodrome.
and are displayed in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum.

To raise the image of his new capital, Constantine and his successors, especially Theodosius the Great, brought works of art from all over the empire to adorn it. The monuments were set up in the middle of the Hippodrome, the spina. Among these was the Tripod of Plataea, now known as the Serpent Column, cast to celebrate the victory of the Greeks over the Persians during the Persian Wars in the 5th century BC. Constantine ordered the Tripod to be moved from the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and set in middle of the Hippodrome. The top was adorned with a golden bowl supported by three serpent heads. The bowl was destroyed or stolen during the Fourth Crusade. The serpent heads were destroyed as late as the end of the 17th Century, as many Ottoman miniatures show they were intact in the early centuries following the Turkish conquest of the city. Parts of the heads were recovered and are displayed at the Istanbul Archaeology Museum. All that remains of the Delphi Tripod today is the base, known as the "Serpentine Column".

广场北方

In the 10th century，the Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus built another obelisk at the other end of the Hippodrome. It was originally covered with gilded bronze plaques, but they were sacked by Latin troops in the Fourth Crusade. The stone core of this monument also survives, known as the Walled Obelisk.

2009-11-16 奇异土耳其之旅 土耳其早餐篇

登上了马航０３０的夜机，找了一个靠窗的位子。那些空少，空姐们都脸带笑容，真的不像亚航的服务。果然一分钱，一分货。最爽的就是每个位子都设有小型monitor, 里头内容丰富，有看的，听的，玩的，保证你的航程不会无聊.

《飞机上的雾》

睡睡醒醒，看了好几部电影，吃了两次飞机餐，听听飞机师报导，摇摇晃晃的就这样搭了１２个小时抵达Istanbul机场。下机迎面吹来一股冷风，看着陌生的指示牌，让我感受到此次真的跑到另一个国度。土耳其，我来了！同时，雾也发现也有好多马来西亚旅客也随着这次的马航优惠一起来度假。所以单单要盖印过关都得等很久。

当一切办托后，已经是土耳其的早上6:30。跑进了飞机场的厕所梳洗一翻。
看到了这个牌示
"Please the use the masjid facilities for ablution"

意思就是，如果要清洗手脚以便膜拜，请用回教堂的公共设备。
土耳其是众所周知的回教国家，也是很开放的回教国都，尤其现身于土耳其的文明之都-Istanbul。所以你可以看到很多土耳其人虽然信奉回教但是思想却一点也不保守。

离开飞机场，旅行公司贴心安排了身着传统衣裳的土耳其美女为大家带来土耳其甜点,Lokum。甜滋滋的味道，也让这九天七夜的旅程写下开始。沿途中，大乡里的雾可看什么都稀奇。土耳其的红绿灯柱是橙色的而不像马来西亚黑几巴啦的，沿海一带的浪怎么这么大，国旗怎么跟老家的也是月亮星星，等等。二十分钟的路程，就到达位于Blue Mosque附近享用早餐的地方。

《巴士上的雾》 =================================
早餐餐厅： Tamara Restaurant & Cafe 土耳其的早餐~
想必大家应该也和雾一般，看着满盘的各式各样的Cheese, Olive, Cucumber & Tomato. 你应该也会像我一样傻眼，烦恼着到底他们是怎么享用早餐。

原来，土耳其的早餐就是把面包涂上你要的配料（就是拿一盘东东），
再点上桌面的蜜糖，就这么简单。

还有，土耳其人最爱喝的就是这种红茶(Cay)。几乎走到哪个巷子都可以看到他们手捧着这盛着红茶的玻璃杯，就像亚洲人在早上一定要喝一杯咖啡般。悄悄告诉你小小一杯Cay, 收费1TR, 大约RM2.70.

吃饱过后，便跑到街道拍些照，顺便享受下马来西亚没有的“冷”度。都说了，餐厅离Blue Mosque是很靠近的。

2009-11-16 奇异土耳其之旅 登机篇

如果说旅行是很开心的一件事，那我则认为它属于先苦后甜的一件差事。雾可是为了此次的假期忙得不可开交，还被老板骂得狗血临头。连上飞机的前一小时还忙着email ，交代手头上的工作。祸不单行应该很适合形容雾的遭遇。因为当雾要发最后一封，最重要的email时，雾宅的streamyx竟然挂掉了。雾连忙拐着laptop找CC去，但是这个streamyx可是真的想把雾赶尽杀绝，连整个地方的streamyx也挂了。最后，唯有跑去找雾的老友求救去。

终于，赶上了晚上十点的MAS Airlines。但是，登机延迟至凌晨一点。
算啦，有时间逛逛机场倒好过在家忙报告。
说实在的，真的一点兴奋感都没了。(=_=")

How good is good?

There's been a while i never visit to my blog and blog on my life...
Coz life is just like a routine things you gonna do in everyday.

Wake up at 8 and get prepare to work..
Jam in the middle of the road and start cursing
Working like hell and waiting for lunch time...
After lunch then dreaming to go back home.
By the time reaching home...
What you wish is a delightful dinner and a good night sleep

How good is my life?
(>.<)
