Masya'Allah Mideast 2010 - Oh... That Dreadful Thing!

No, don't worry, nothing really grave happened... but I must admit, writing an account of any trip in retrospect is never a pleasant experience as you scramble to recall every minute detail of what happened, especially for one epic trip like this! Plus, you never know how the turn of events between the moment you leave a particular place and the present moment would have affected the accuracy of your accounts, let alone all the biases, prejudices and distortions that come along with them... Nevertheless (always-the-more as Faiz would have it, haha!) I shall endeavour to recount the story as vivid and accurate as possible, although I'm pretty sure this account would not provide the full measure of justice the trip deserves. Mind you, it's been 2 weeks since we touched down in Singapore, and a good month or more since we last graced some of the places in the earlier legs of our trip... Already, that seemed like forever...
