The Blue Mosque is on one of the most prominent landmarks of Istanbul, especially when viewed from the first Hill or from the Asian shore of the sea of Marmara. It is very impressive with its beautiful domes and semidomes, nice courtyards and six slender minarets. The Blue Mosque has fascinating secrets revealed in my travel memoir. This is one of Istanbul’s premier sights, and you’re welcome to visit at most times of day, for free (donation gratefully received). But it’s also a working mosque, so it’s closed to non-worshippers for half hour or so during the five daily prayers, and may be closed for a longer time middy on Friday, the Muslim holy day.

My Dream Home
Everyone of us has a dream house. It is what we would like to do and to live in the future. I always dreamed of having my own house. My admire house should be the wonderful house, greenery, ‘live’, and multi-purpose place.
When I read any paper or magazine, or I surved to the certain website, I will never miss to review or survey the part of decoration and designing of houses and also clothes. I enjoyed the pictures, images, drawing, painting and so on. I said to myself, “I want my house look like ‘this’, and probably it should be more creative and more wonderful than that”.
First of all, the location of my dream house is very important factor. I plan to stay in the house for a considerable length of time. The location would give me feel more comfortable to live at. The house would be located in the suburbs, not far from the town because I am not really like the shining and bright lights.
I like to build my dream house which the front view of my house could be a mosque and a ‘Madrasah Tahfiz’. The place where the peoples of all ages studying about religion and memorizing of al-Quran. I want my family and I will always covered and experience the environment and our daily life in pleasant surroundings of good things.
My house is made of stone and brick except the small shelter could be from wood. It has two floors with a main bedroom and three other bedrooms. In the centre of first floor, there is the main family room for my family to spend time and watching television together. Behind that, there is a mini-library and pray room for whole family. In the middle of the house is the main staircase to goes up and go down to the two floors.
On the ground floor, on the left of the house it is a large sitting room for guests or visitors such as friends and the family members. Next to the living room, it is a room for mini gym where the space for our healthy exercise routine. On the right, there is a kitchen and two dining rooms for men and women. Under the staircase, there is also a laundry room and on the outside of laundry room is the long hanging place with the transparent roof.
The front view of the home usually within close to public street. So the home landscapes is the first impression that people will see and attract, so that the object of the front landscape should be to frame the home. I would like to decorate a beautiful garden which full of variety of beautiful and colourful flowers and plants. The potted flowers bring splashes of color and greenery. It is welcome visitors to my home. On the left there is a walkways that my family can walk with me along the garden path. On the right, it would be a mini-playground for my children to play in every evening hour. In the centre of the house is the place to park my cars. It is the garage without roof.
The rear view of house, I will build a medium swimming pool because I love swimming very much for my good exercise. Besides that, I would like to plant any kind of vegetables like chilli, limau kasturi leaf, pandan leaf, green onions and so on. I also will create two beautiful small shelters as a relaxing space that encourages ‘Family Gathering’ and a space to share with the people like friends and family.
I hope my dream home will be come true. I know I have to work hard to achieve my dream.
