Once is by chance. Twice is a coincidence. Thrice is a blessing.
I'm not the most religious/pious person but I do strongly hold on to my faith.
2018 - My first solo trip ever. I went to Paris since I have forever been dreaming of going there. And by luck, the airbnb apartment that I booked happened to be in a neighborhood that is populated with a lot of African-descent Muslims. There was also a surau nearby.
2019 - For my second solo trip, I went to London. And coincidentally, the airbnb apartment that I booked is diagonally opposite a halal Malaysian cafe with authentic Malaysian food. It feels so good to get my teh-tarik there every single night. And they also have a surau at the back, for their fellow Muslim customers.
2022 - After 2 years of not traveling due to COVID, I am finally going overseas in October. Flying off to Bangkok for a relaxing and pampering week. And the hotel that I booked is sandwiched between 2 mosques. 1 of them is within 5 minutes walking distance while the other mosque is about 15 minutes away.
Allah SWT works in mysterious ways.
Syukur Alhamdulillah.
