feeling down :(

1997 i met a fren at matriculation centre. She is polite, soft, friendly. After graduated in 2002 (convocation was in 2003), we were on our own direction.

2004, we became colleague..yeah- we work in the same organization but different department (her starting salary is higher than me though huhuuhu).

2012, we both left that organization. Me: to chase the 20%++  increase in salary & to work in new organization, whilst she left to follow her hubby working overseas (Wow!! paham x? kena keje kat negara omputih..4 seasons...xpe la kalau xde perasan. u can stop reading now).

I ws like..what?? best part is: She is now a full time housewife. Double WOW!! I am SOO envy of her..but Alhamdulillah...Allah bagi rezeki yg baik buat dia..Me & other frens at Malaysia can only pray for her health, safety dok kat negara org.

I confessed my feeling (abt feeling low) to my cousin. She said: mestila rs down. I think those who dont hv feeling, mesti HATI KERING heheheheh...

ops, forgot. her BFF is now residing in Japan after her marriage. My cousin is still single. She still feeling down teringatkn bestie yg dok kat Jepun tu, but now at manageable level...hehehehe (please pray that my cousin will marry her best man very soon...)

Sekian.

renungan- rezeki/dugaan Allah tu x sama pada hamba2Nya... kita sepatutnya compare ngan org yg kurang dr kita br lah kita rs lebih bersyukur. contoh senang:
- gaji kita > gaji Ms X  (rs mcm org kaya..tp pada hr gaji masuk je la) or
- rumah kita cantik & besar, tp kawan kita cuma mampu menyewa aje
- kita kawen, trus ngandung & dapat anak. ada org kawen bertahun2, x ngandung pun..

terus kita rs nikmat Allah & rs bersyukur sgt :D

Parenting...

while FBing, ternampak 1 post, tp x igt sapa yg wat posting tu/share from which sites. tp yg aku igt-

• layanlah anak2 kita dgn baik sbb kita (parents) ni je la kawan dia...(i mean budak2 la...)
• umur anak < 7thn, layan kan aje anak2 kita..walaupn dia mintak kita jd kuda & dia panjat blakang kita smbil ckp "yeeeehaaaa!!". Bila anak 7-14 thn, dh kena ajar anak2 & kena jd lebih serius (pasal tu kena pastikn anak jaga solat 5 waktu sejak umur 7 thn.. . bila anak dh >14 thn, parents boleh berkeras ngan anak2. sbb dia dh mula matang & dpt membezakan baik & buruk...
• anak kita mencerminkan diri kita...kadang sifat anak yg kasar mungkin berpunca dr sikap kita yg kasar..bak kata Prof Muhaya- kena audit diri kita... (walaupn ada ayat: Iman x dpt diwarisi...which is soo true...) tp kita sebagai ibu bapa kena jd yg terbaik utk anak2 kita. ni ayat paling sempoi: garbage in, garbage out i.e input yg kita bagi x elok, hasilnye tentulah x elok kan? basic jer equation ni.

ni pesanan mak aku yg mmg aku akan igt smpai bila2:
hubungan anak perempuan ngan mak mmg sgt kuat..bertambah kuat bila anak perempuan tu sendiri telah melahirkn...

sooooooo true.

The boys

Mak reminded me to always encourage AF to speak in English at home. AF's class teacher at kindy is an Indian lady who speaks fluent English. (i think AF is inspired to speak in English becoz of her heheheh)..

So 1 fine day, I said to AF:
Mama: AF, from now on, I want u to speak in English.
AF: ok Mama

before we went to bed that nite:
Mama: AF, u want to sleep with me or Papa?
AF: tonite, I want to sleep with Father..

(skema giler, hehehehe)

tonite- we had garlic bread & mushroom soup for dinner
Mama: how do u like your dinner? (directing to AF & waiting for his answer)
suddenly AM replied instead of AF: MMM, soooo good Mama
AF: (a pat on his forehead)

(kelakar..sbb AM's English vocab lom banyak lg & aku terkejut dia nk ckp camtu tp rsnye pengaruh katun kot)

Alhamdulillah, dah 6 bulan..

Alhamdulillah :)

I had posted the above on FB...syukur sgt dah confirm kat opis baru..some may think its no biggie abt confirmation ni. but for me, IT IS A BIG DEAL...ye la, bayangkn existing monthly commitment & kalau tetiba xde keje...x pasal2 mr lecturer kena jd sole breadwinner..ish ish..x dpt la nk layan tekak boys yg suka request mcm2...

sekian

Thank You Allah!

Bandar Liverpool

Masjid Al-Rahma

The Al-Rahma Mosque lcated on Hatherley Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, England, and can accommodate between 2,000 and 2,500 people and serves as the main place of worship and focus point for Liverpool's 25,000 strong Muslim community.

 The Al-Rahma Mosque is currently the largest of Liverpool's three mosques, followed by the Penny Lane mosque and a proposed mosque and Muslim centre on the former Anfield Community Comprehensive School site. (Source: Wikipedia)

Rombongan Cik Kinah ke Manchester part 3

 

credit to google picture.

pusing2 Manchester, we all lepak kat Lowry Mall je. ada mcm2 kedai (mcm la nk shopping sgt!)  among others:

Marks & Spencer, Austin Reed, Nike Factory Outlet, Cotton Traders

utk brg umah- ada la Noritake & Bodum...tp aku x masuk sbb bwk budak2.kang x pasal je kena ganti..huhuhu

tp papehal, kena pau ngan budak2 kat bookstore...hampeh jer...x kena pau x sah!

Lowry Outlet Mall)

Dont be surprise sbb kat sini ada 2 gerai selling Halal food kat foodcourt dia tau.
1) Food selling arab food- briani, mandy, lamb kabsah, etc
2) Chicken Cottage (sort of KFC/McD)- of koz we bought our food here coz the boys just can't live without fries/burgers.

Luckily we didn't buy the briani coz its a bit dull & plain for our so Malay tastebud (kurang berasa la )but the kebab was good. not bad :)

kat food court ni ada subway, tp x halal. again, kat foodcourt pn leh jumpa org Melayu..ish ish...

otw ke Liverpool, akan singgah shopping outlet- yeah!!

Rombongan Cik Kinah ke Manchester part 2

King Kong wuz ere :P (tu mmg nama manja Mr Lecturer ye...)

 pic taken by a-professional-not-cameraman

 as above, still the same cameraman..heheheh

 i luv this pic- sort of luv hate relationship...heheheh

Sorry MU fans...we all x minat MU...

 ada org muntah2 kat depan stadium... (tp sorok2 sbb takut plak kena belasah ngan a group full-of-bus of Chinese looking tourists of which a- die-hard-fan of MU..)

AM ni mmg x suka MU...kuang3. 

very neat & tidy merchandise store...

the boys were confused- to do good sign/ bad sign??

colourfull & bright stadium- definitely a prestigious stadium. that is undeniable ye...

masa ni jumpa Malay family (ore Kelate ) yg stay kat Dubai...diaorg pn amik keta sewa. biasa la bila jumpa org Melayu tu of koz la rasa bangga giler kn... (UK ni penuh org Melayu aje aku rasa.)

sekian. termpat musuh ni...xyah la citer banyak2...

Selain dr stadium, jalan2 area Manchester & jumpa ada Mall ni- Lowry Mall.

Rombongan Cik Kinah ke Manchester part 1

Salam,

hr ni ada mood sket nk update travelog...sbb ada org suruh share experience.

ok kami bergerak dr Leicester- Manchester-Liverpool-Leicester. Manchester ni bandar moden sket la dr Leicester & Liverpool. Sesat gak la kat bandar Manchester & since kitaorg ronda2 dulu br nk cek-in hotel, x perasan dh petang time org blk ofis & jln agak jem (mode: x snap pic sbb gabra sesat dlm city walaupn pakai GPS. agaknye Mr Lecturer ni nk jugak wifey dia jd GPS kot...p/s- kat hiway pn tersesat gak, tp GPS tu akan re-route kita ke correct lane, no worries ya!)

we stayed at bajet hotel jer- Travelodge: Manchester Salford Quays... hotel travelodge ni very affordable i.e  promo rate for family room @ £15/nite and additional £2 charged for booking made with credit card.  (bajet hotel kat UK ni besar ye, muat utk 2 queen beds & ada ruang lg utk solat so xler terasa sengkek sgt walaupn dok hotel bajet aje)

we stayed for 2 nites. yg bestnye, depan hotel ni ada Morrisons, so senang nk beli groceries (beli la sgt!)..actually setakat beli roti/ kit-kat, jajan, etc. parking kereta kat Morrisons sbb hotel ni tepi jln, so mmg xde parking area. parking kat Morrisons & kena dptkn chop utk dpt rate murah :) refer here: parking-Morrisons-rate

(ada cashier Muslim kat Morrisons ms kitaorg pegi ni.)

front view

pic from ggogle je, ms sampai, hari ujan & sibuk nk dukung budak/bwk beg/periuk bagai.. (so kampung kn...heheheheh)

baru nk cek in :)... dh sampai manchester!!! yeah yeah

nk share ape yg ada kat sini..cam biasa, since limitation kat diri sendiri, terpaksa explain pakai google pic aje ye..

family room kitaorg camni la lebih kurang, minus the tv hang on the wall.rsnye tv kat bilik 14inci aje. sofa merah tu sofa bed (sofa merah tu mmg ada). so Mr Lecturer tido situ lerr.

bila dh sampai sini, kena la pi ke tempat musuh tradisi- MU stadium

part 2..bersambung :)

Weekend... I luv weekend!!

welcome beautiful long-awaited weekend!!

ceh poyo je heading, coz mine started yesterday- mc on friday due to cherry berry. kafarah dosa btol since msk keje baru ni...asyik sakit aje. but i think food factor actually the real culprit..hehehehe

pity my boys kena stay home aje coz me still need to be near with my quarantine room a.k.a toilet..(mode: selamat duit den kuang3)

mlm ni nk mkn ape ek? ns smlm yg lebih ada bnyk lg...nk wat ns goreng, xleh mkn pedas/oily..sih tasteless tastebud :(    - hilang nikmat dunia

nnt la pikir lg.

Mode: dok umah, layan A&H sampai lebam, cover tdo sampai muka sembab..boleh??

note: i am suppose to be on sharklee detox for my 3rd week. tp since i had natural detox for the past few days, think i'll pass this week routine. kalau x, pengsan aku! merangkak ke toilet /*pitam*

Juggling

Salam,

nothing new..still juggling i.e struggling- work, lrt ride, cooking/ preparing food at home...normal routine for maidless working mom..sigh..

i think i definitely need SUPER DRUG supplement to really2 booze my energy.

but alhamdulillah, seeing the boys karate-ing, gaduh2, sometimes made my day (sometimes irritating jugak sbb x dengar ckp) plus, they are now pandai menjawab..bikin panas aje...

AF: nenek, AF nk mkn nasi lauk ikan masin la..
Nenek: ha?? awak pandai ke mkn ikan masin?? x boleh mkn banyak tau, nnt haus sbb mkn benda masin..
AF: bukan la nenek..nnt kena darah tinggi mcm Atok Jeram..
Nenek (dlm ati): eh dia tau penyakit darah tinggi??? (wondering if he knows diabetis)


or this:

Mama: AM, dh besar (3 y-o) dh x boleh pakai pampers tau. kena kencing kat toilet cam abg AF.
AM: Mama, AM kn tecik lagi..lom pandai lg..kena la pakai pampers..

hampeh je. sumtimes psikologi x jalan ngan si kecik ni...

sekian.


p/s- on sharklee set for the past 8 days...think my skin can now survive the day without any moisturizer.. (an improvement for my super-dry- cheek-skin & in air-cond room)..eyeing for other supplement - Vit c- to strengthen my immune system (would be having fever/flu/cough every 1-2 months...deteriorating health condition due to age factor?? oh my...)

Train route-lrt, underground

ni laluan lrt...ada kelana jaya line, ampang line

 ok sambung esok..bz la plak mlm ni :(

 

Biggest loser @ office

salam,

hr ni stat challenge ni kat ofis. semua kena timbang after lunch time (asalnye, ada budak ni nk kawen thn depan...so dia mmg obsess ngan weight loss/spa/sauna/slimming centre...tp dia ni selamba & x kerek..so kitaorg layan je la. winner will be determined by the % of losses- mmg ala2 biggest loser la).

yg seronotnye, me has reduced by 2.5 kg in 5 months. I guess the loss was due to slight walking from lrt to ofis, jln2 shopping/ window kat Jln TAR and plus the fact slalu smpi ofis ngam ngam soi...so x sempat bekpes heavy heavy cam dulu...ns goreng cili api + ayam goreng kecik2 kak ani/ ns lemak marveles & ns impit kuah kacang gerai Mami penang...so i opt for Milo/Neslo/Nescafe with 3-5 tablespoon of oat.

bulan posa hr tu x smpt timbang (dulu dh beli tapi rosak plak). ms tu rs lg ringan sbb kekadang xde selera nk buka/sahur & muka mmg cengkung ms tuh (aku sndr terkejut tgk pipi cengkung walaupn x diet beria)

during Ramadhan i often  consume honey cornflakes (beli kat mydin tu...hehhehehe) & fresh milk. tu je yg leh tekak ni telan- bowl besar plak tu..ni honey cornflakes yg sedap tu:

 

(kalau plain cornflakes, suka mkn ngan susu sejuk + pisang..ni jugakla fav food ms preggie gitu...me not preggie @ the moment ye, FYI)

now tgh survey supplement. aiming for Sharklee...

{bonus point for Sharklee- improved (i mean really2 improved & glowing) skin complexion & since it is the only supplement that is safe for BF mothers, then i guess the supplement must be REALLy GOOD. Thumbs up & congrats to my dear fren, Yat :) }

umur makin meningkat, amalan kena dipertingkat, kesihatan kena dijaga...)

Puasa, Raya & kids

xtau nk tulis apa...cuma rasa nk luahkn rasa kecewa sket...

rs stress nk train AF utk puasa thn ni maklumler, 1st time. bukan apa, dh la kurang bg dia didikan agama i mean, dia bnyk blaja kat skolah instead of kat rumah sndr. plus, by 7 y-o kena start solat consistently...so aku rs responsibility as parents makin berat. (sib baik i only got boys, sbb kalau ada girl, risau sgt kalau dia susah nk xnak  pakai tudung bila besar nnt)

ok citer nye gini.

on daily basis during Ramadhan, i would try to slow talk with AF, to tell him the importance/benefit of fasting & being Muslim..supaya dia faham dosa/pahala & kelebihan berpuasa. Alhamdulillah, dia faham & cikgu kat skolah bnyk bg info kat dia.even niat puasa & doa buka puasa pn blaja kat skolah.

tp bila environment cuba instilkn norma2 cara masyarakat kita camni:

dh bape hari puasa? sehari papa mama nk bg bape ringget? nnt duit raya nk bape ringget??kalau x puasa, xleh dpt duit raya.... (hello....duit pn dia x reti kira lg!)


bila pegi umah sedara pn ada yg ckp cmni: cucu nenek suka puasa sbb nnt dpt duit raya banyaakkkkkk...

such a big No NO NO... (sama la cam no no to pacifier tu) & xde plak org kita tanye kat anak kita- dh hafal niat puasa? or tanye berpuasa bln Ramadhan tu rukun Islam no. bape?...

pastuh bila beraya kat kampung AF ngeluh- mama, umah ni panas la...nape panas sgt ni...umah ni xde air-cond ke??
my response- AF, x baik ckp camtuh..api neraka tu lg panas tau.

guess what...my relative said to me: xx (my name), nape la ckp kat kat AF camtuh...diakn kecik lg...i was like what??? salah ke aku nk ckp kat anak aku camtuh?dia mmg dh paham konsep syurga/neraka (dh namanye pn nama syurga- Firdaus)


tu lom lg blk beraya umah org, trus tanye- dpt bape ringget umah org tu??

tolong la ubah sikap org2 kita.....

tp 1 benda yg buat aku hepi raya ni- aku dh stat pakai tudung dlm umah i.e ngan ipar/duai. Alhamdulillah. Mmg kuasa Allah, hati kita akan tenang bila buat benda baik :)
 & nak share from FB Prof. dr Muhaya:

Almari org Melayu penuh pinggan mangkuk, tp almari org Islam penuh buku...(p/s- rumah wardina banyk buku) . just sharing...so raya ni pakai la pinggan corelle..jgn asyik display kat showcase aje :) {peringatan utk diri sndr jugak kekekekeke}

mOOd raya :)

sweet x curtain ni??

sliper umah baru, sempena raya...ni bli kat UK hr tu...manisnye...siap ada riben lg...i bought the same design but smaller size for my mom :)

ni kat dalam keta, otw back to kampung :)

kemas D.A.P.U.R

i dont hv much brg perkakas rumah...tp kalu pegi ke metrojaya ke..ikea ke..even parkson/jj...tempat paling best= tempat hiasan/ dapur related stuff :)

maybe its where i spent most of my time at home kot..

 kaler purple tu my farewell gift tupperware...(ikut suka ati je nk letak ape kn...hehehhee). ni drawer utk brg kering-spices, teabags, gula, brown sugar, etc

 cute je rak ni kn? utk letak bekas minyak, garam kasar/halus, kunyit :)

 

 ni station utk msk air (x nmpk plak cerek tu), air masak, flask, susu, sterilizer (worth buying kat onebabyworld)

last skali, bekas tupperware kecik ni utk letak susu cair (senang mak nk wat tea c)

persiapan raya

salam,

tinggal 2 hr je lg puasa...esok dh stat cuti raya. Mr Lecturer plan nk gi wangsa maju mlm ni nk cari songkok adam. esok pepagi nk gi SOGO, belikn AF toy spiderman=reward posa :) (rsnye dia tinggal posa abt 7 days je..hebat kn??? alhamdulillah.)

persiapan raya utk rumah= biasa2 aje..setakat tukar langsir sliding door aje. alas meja pn aku x beli.pinggan mangkok baru pn x beli, teaset baru pn x beli...pendek kata ala kadar aje. reason- aku ni x reti nk hias2 umah ni.asalkn umah bersih (of koz Mr Lecturer yg kemas umah...not me). (i hv been eyeing IKEA's showcase for few yrs actually smpi la price dia dh jatuh ke RM179. MIL baru beli b4 puasa, sbb nk letak souvenir beli kat UK -kot)

btw, td pi jln TAR (lagi??), utk tukar baju cotton yg beli smlm...well guess wat....maintain lg size M, you!  such an achievement (sgt!)...muka nmpk kecik sket, tp tummy maintain bergegar2 gitu...

bila ckp kat mak, bln posa ni kurang mkn tp perut ni susah la nk turun..nape ek?
mak ckp: sbb awak tu cizer.hehehe suka jawapan mak yg positive gitu..hehehhe..

jawapan Mr Lecturer- tu kena exercise baru leh ilang...(potong steam je kn??)



mode: penat keje tp hepi sgt smlm... sbb my HOD (pangkat senior vice president) signed my paper.(2nd paper actually)..alhamdulillah...dh 3 bln keje kat tempat baru, so far can catch up with the risk assessment, RMC papers...i luv my job (plus the fact Islamic bank: riba free). zakat committee at the bank approved for zakat distribution to Mr Lecturer's aunty (sebatang kara, x kawen, x keje, dh tua), alhamdulillah, syukur sgt.

such a wonderfooool life (hi Qila wink*wink*). Alhamdulillah :)

baju raya

 

kalau kurus sket, pakai bj ni msti cantik kn..(utk raya & my cousin's wedding this dec- purple theme kaler). Baju aje RM95 kot...nnt la korek tabung..

Solat Terawikh- alone

Salam,

skarang ni solat sorang je kat umah. sbb Mr Lecturer gi surau. agak sedih la x dpt berjemaah. tp mak ckp kalau suami pi surau/masjid, isteri kat umah pn dpt pahala gak sbb org lelaki tempatnya di surau/masjid. :)

my boys selalu pelik nape aku solat lama sgt: Isyak (4 rakaat) terawikh (8 rakaat) witir (3 rakaat) & tanye camni:

AM & AF- mama dh siap solat ke?
mama- belom
AM & AF- lamanye..
mama- ye la, mama solat Isyak (AF dh pandai solat skarang ni) & solat sunat
AM & AF- sunat? potong mcm abg Aldeen??? (muka cuak. abg sepupu diaorg ni darjah 3, dh sunat school hol March hr tu..)

mama- bukan SUNAT tu, solat sunat ni buat sbb mama nk dpt pahala lebih :)

kat FB bnyk gak posting my frens yg bwk anak2 (smallest is 2 yrs old) solat kat masjid. some perceived well by others, but sometimes sort of kena halau solat saf blakang skali, reason being:
i) budak lom baligh akan putuskn saf (some said so but not all)
ii) budak buat bising- merengek2-menangis-menjerit.ganggu jemaah lain.

tp aku rasa xde salahnye bwk budak pi solat sbb tujuan kita supaya anak2 cintakn surau/masjid .(kat mekah time umrah/haji sekalipun, baby br lps hari pn org bwk jugak)

Cuma pendapat aku:-
- budak yg still pakai diapers, takur kencing & bocor diapersnye.jd tempat solat tu mungkin x suci.so pastikan diapers budak x penuh/xde possibility utk bocor.

- kalau budak2 main/bising, ganggu jemaah nk khusuk solat/ dgr ceramah, peranan ibu bapa kena control budak2 & imam/org tua boleh tegur budak2 tu (tp tegur la cara berhemah..kekadang org tua ni xde psikologi...tersentap org lain kena tegur & some may refuse to accept teguran tu).

- org pompuan kadang datang surau bertelekung, tp kaki x pakai stokin. so x tutup aurat. kalau org lain nmpk dh berdosa OR maybe tempat masuk ruang solat muslimat tu kena lalu kat laluan utama menyebabkn org laki ternampak muka dia yg cun tu (bukan aku la tu)...kang fitnah plak...

jd aku rs baikla aku solat kat umah aje sorang2. (kekadang br nk solat ke 5&6, AM dh poo poo plak...kena la stop solat & bersihkn dia dulu..stuh AM plak nk susu br leh smbg solat)


 sekian.

p/s- mlm ni turn kami partly sponsor moreh kat surau Al-Husna.rasa hepi sgt :D wan, atok, tok abah & tok mak, terimalah habuan kalian malam ni..cucundamu ni tiap2 hr sedekahkn Al-Fatihah utk nenda2 tersayang...

kisah bulan Ramadhan

Salam,

masih lg berkisar bln puasa-Ramadhan.

Aku x penah dok umah sewa. ps grad stay with my parents.ms undergrad, solat terawikh kat musolla/ masjid. bukak puasa ngan kawan2 kat masjid bangsar..(merasa la bercermin sama2 ngan Shahrizat Jalil ps solat tu- kebetulan dia sponsor buka hr tu...)

kwn2 from various background- so ada yg kurang mampu nk pi bazar hari2..so pi mkn free kat masjid. food @ masjid bangsar amatlah best sbb ramai org2 kaya yg sponsor. ada 1 hari tu tapau food utk supper kat PARAM, pstu bukak puasa kat masjid bangsar. bila nk blk UIA, camne ntah aku x perasan longkang seberang jln dr Mahbub. so terjatuh la dlm longkang yg dlm tu-utk org yg x bape tinggi, susah gak la nk kuar. smpi kwn2 kena tarik aku kuar.

polisterin makanan aku pecah sbb aku terhempas kat tepi longkang tu. rupa2nya, kaki aku scratch dr betis smpi pinggul. betis luka hampir sampai ke tulang kering kot..(melebih2 plak)..tp mmg darah x henti, trus rs nk pengsa. instead of nk naik feeder bas blk hostel, trus kitaorg naik cab aje. (msti kwn aku yg nk berjimat tu panas ati sbb kena byr duit cab plak).

esok pagi, cadar aku berpeta ngan darah, buku lali bengkak- effect luka yg ternganga kat tulang kering tu...aku pn call abah, mintak amik kat hostel.

dlm keta, telinga aku "bengkak" sbb abah berleter...ngada2 nk buka kat luar, lain kali jgn blk mlm, jgn merayau2, etc, bla..bla...kebengkakan melanda bila kena leter ngan doc/nurse yg wat dressing kaki aku...dia takut infection sbb open wound...

sadis x citer ni?

Sayang Mak & Abah

Salam,

bulan Ramadhan bulan yg meletihkn...tambah lg AF yg start practise puasa thn ni..kena make sure dia tido awal, bangkit sahur, suapkn mkn sahur, suruh dia tido blk, & bgn bersiap utk pi kindy. bila time bukak posa plak, kena layan dia dulu, dh setel semua br leh mkn ngan aman.

yg menariknya, I expect him to be "melepek & merengek2" mintak nk berbuka...tp (tabik spring to my son) sbb dia leh bertahan, duduk smbil main game kat Ipad. tp kesian gak bila tgk bibir dia kering-kurang air. so bila berbuka, AF akan ku beri minum air yg bnyk, & susu 2 tumbler & pakaikn lip gloss sblm tdo :)

actually entry ni dedicate to my parents...training my son to fast is like down memory lane to me.reasons:

i) dulu ms darjah 1-3- mmg aku merengek2, call mak kat ofis nk minum air. kalau mak mls layan, aku call abah. smpi la both fedup with me & said bukalah puasa, nnt x dpt mkn sedap2... (tp aku mmg x mkn saman sbb tau msti mak/abah belikn makanan sedap2..heheheehhe...ms tu aku xtau lg terms ni: ada aku kesah)

ii) dulu ms berbuka, segala mcm air sejuk request ms berbuka.especially time abah bwk pi bazar greenwood. mmg happening la!! (ms tu aku x paham nape la akak aku no. 2 tu suka sgt lai chi kang..tp skarang aku suka je lai chi kang)

iii) mak in charge utk prepare food for iftar. kitaorg tinggal amik pinggan/cawan je. abah buat air panas. kitaorg diajar mengadap mkanan tu abt 5-10 mins b4 iftar. ms tu, akan recap how is school, bla..bla..(sebenarnya waktu tu adalah waktu yg afdal utk kita berdoa, subhanallah-kelebihan berpuasa)

abah bukan la jenis org laki yg cuma dok kat meja expect wife hidang semua tanpa perlu bangun dr kerusi..mungkin sbb dia tau mak pn penat ps keje kat opis (i respect u so much abah)

iv) sahur- ni paling best sbb msti xde org yg leh lawan kehebatan abah aku ni sbb...ABAH yg akan sediakn makanan & milo panas time sahur.normally mkn iftar's leftover je, tp ABAH la yg akan panaskn lauk kat microwave, mlm sblm tdo make sure ada nasi utk sahur. bila dh siap semua, abah & mak/ my elder sis yg akan kejutkn kitaorg....


tapi semua tu dh berlalu...now its my turn to reheat d food, serve the food, wat milo/teh o panas for sahur. the same goes for iftar.sedih la jugak tp i am glad, Allah masih beri peluang for me to serve my parents (or PIL), alhamdulillah.

bersihnya muka :)

Salam,

its been a year i hv been using skin care range from Estee Lauder. Estee Lauder ni mmg ada sentimental value for me sbb dr dulu lg.. (stat ms practical la), mmg suka ngan brand ni, so feminin, gitu... I started with the perfume- White Linen mmm..bestnye bau... (skarang ni EL- White Linen dh ada few options ie.white linen, pure white linen, white linen breeze, white linen pink coral- hubby penah wat surprise on my 30th bday bg a rose bouquet and white line pink coral...ms tu tgh pregnant plak tu. tp kesian sbb my bday is actually a day b4 V day,so its a bit pricey compared other low season time.. )

 

I started with Nutritious cleanser. its actually to make the skin more radiant. (ms nk beli set tu, promoter said my skin looks dull...duh!!)..so masa try tu, mmg best sgt. i noticed that my skin is glowing, reduced pores at my nose & eventually  i dont need to use  pore pack (seriously!!). opps forgot, the set comes with time zone product range (utk org dh berumur i.e 30s ye... & aiming to reduce the fine line & perhaps can slow the effect of wrinkle on my face...bb face gitu..) & the most great product- Advanced Night Repair (mcm Erra Faziera pakai tu). again, seriously, this product really moisturises my skin, bila bgn pagi, nk amik wuduk tu, mmg rasa kulit lembut sgt.




 Set Nutritious for radiant looking skin..kalau bwh 30s sesuai la kot...

 Advanced night repair (ANR) ni serum yg pakai waktu mlm sblm tido. tp sblm tu kena pakai moisturizer utk mlm (night cream) bg membolehkn ANR ni berfungsi & melembab 5x ganda. ANR ni ada eye cream jugak.

Latest checking with staff at EL counter, i need to continue with the soft clean cleanser (above), sbb kulit kering sikit. So i replenish the ANR & soft clean cleanser for RM425 & got free 6 pcs item & dpt 8 vouchers (beli ms Sogo members' day so dpt double voucer i.e RM100 = 2 RM10 vouchers, normal time is RM100= 1 RM10 voucher)

my purchase was :
RM425- RM80 (voucher) = RM345 only :)

hopefully masa raya my skin looks smooth & silky :)

 ada sket my own pic of my estee lauder products, tp tu semua travel size sbb naik flight & bwk hand luggage je so max liquid is 100 ml aje :)  important thing during vacation

Happy 7th Anniversary to us

Jika engkau minta intan permata tak mungkin ku mampu
Tapi sayangkan ku capai bintang dari langit untukmu
Jika engkau minta satu dunia akan aku cuba
Ku hanya mampu jadi milikmu pastikan kau bahagia

Sayangku
Jangan kau persoalkan siapa di hatiku
Terukir di bintang tak mungkin hilang cintaku padamu

I have died everyday waiting for you  
Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you for a Thousand years  

I'll love you for a Thousand more

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me, yeah

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes oh, when I couldn't see
You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

Thank you for 7 wonderful years....(belanja la Kinder Bueno kerr...Toblerone kerr) 


Alhamdulillah

testing :)

nk test blog from my BB

Solat dalam flight

Salam,

Ni continuation of early entry on solat masa travel. Ms belom pegi, risau sgt psl solat dlm flight..certain blogs said kena camni, kena camtu...tapi I noticed a blog (x igt plak which one) yg cakap- tanye je steward/ess, & they can cnfm to u nk solat waktu ape & tunjukkn ruang solat.

So me & Mr Lecturer take turn pegi solat.biasa la org laki kn.. maka soklan2 nye berbunyi camni:

1. awak la tanye pramugara/i tu nk solat kat mana..
2. awak dh amik wuduk ker
3. camne amik wuduk dlm toilet sempit tu?
4. skarang ni waktu ape

Aku pn pegi la tebalkn muka tanye kat pramugara kat area depan tu..mamat tu baik punya rilek...

Me- tmpg tanye, nk solat kat mana & skarang ni waktu ape ye?
He- solat boleh kat sini dik, tapi ni kalau waktu M'sia tgh malam ni...tgh mlm ni org buat solat sunat je dik...solat sunat ape tu ye??
Me- Solat tahajud ker..solat hajat ke... (tp definitely bukan solat Dhuha la..duhhh)

Me still staring at him insisting for his assistance.

He- sekejap ye, saya call captain nk confirmkn...xxx.xxxx.xxxx (mls nk pasang telinga..kot2 la captain tu pn sengal)

few seconds later...

He- Dik, skarang ni dh Isyak, jd boleh la solat kat sini (sambil tunjuk area tmpt dia rehat2 tadi). Adik dh amik wuduk ke?
Me- dh
He- ok, ni sejadah ye dik. kiblat mcm ni ye dik
Me- ok, tq (sambil tutup tirai biru kat tepi)- terus solat jamak takhir qasar Isyak & Maghrib

pastu Mr Lecturer plak solat..

pastu kena solat lagi- Subuh plak.

aku dh siap2 amik wuduk & trus pi area solat tu, tp ada makcik dr Penang tgh solat. so sorang pramugari tu advise aku utk duduk kat tempat dulu & dia akan infm bila makcik tu selesai (she asked for my seat no la...camne plak dia nk cari aku dlm gelap tu). Remark- flight bergegar2 & suppose to wear seat belt.no passenger is allowed to linger around in flight masa ni. tapi aku ngan macho nye pegi jugak sbb nk solat.

 (google pic aje)

Few minutes later, the sweet pramugari tu came to me & said, Puan, sebenarnye sekarang ni keadaan bahaya & captain nasihatkn supaya Puan solat di tempat duduk shj.

ok aku pn solat kat seat je la pstu & followed by Mr Lecturer :)

Sekian. Semoga panduan solat dlm flight/semasa travel ni dpt bantu kwn2 yg nk travel long distance ni. yg penting, mesti solat ye....jgn tinggalkn solat :)

Bila ada tanda seru camni (!) kat subjek e-mail

Salam,

Perasan x tanda ni kat (!) kat e-mail? At my previous office, I dont think it is a big issue. For any e-mail received bearing that symbol at the subject, I read it as: NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION/RESPONSE, ASAP.. as simple as that.

but now, I notice (recently realize) that some people (e-mail receipient) is just too sensitive & said "next time, dont send out e-mail with (!).

BUT, if the e-mail sent is without such symbol, how r we suppose to differentiate which is urgent i.e with tight deadline, etc...ish ish...

pape lah labu....semua org ada masalah/keje berlambak2...cukup bulan dpt gaji kn??

SO????

Al-fatihah to him

Salam,

My dear fren's FIL passed away recently due to old age. I think the family already prepared for the day to come..it is just a matter of time.

I know a kakak at my new office who has 5 children; with the eldest now 17 y-o. She is quite pretty, soft spoken (Its hard to believe her eldest is 17 when she looks like early 40s!!). She brought her children to Terengganu during the recent school holiday. She said since she has 5 children, it is much cheaper to choose a homestay instead of hotel. She is soo right.

What took me by surprise is the fact that actually her husband was oso the Bank's employee. He collapsed at the Bank's lobby, then rushed to the hospital and overnite there. He passed away the next day- heart attack.

Kakak tu was pregnant with their 5th child!! (I dont remember the whole story but maybe in mid pregnancy, but if not mistaken, the youngest now in standard 4 kot..masa taip ni pn mmg rs nk nanges...bergenang air mata...subhanallah, dugaan akak tu...mmg Allah sayangkn dia...) 


Masa dengar citer tu..mmg rasa nk nanges sgt....& bersyukur sgt sbb masih ada suami, ibubapa & mertua. terasa hidup ni diberkati :)

buat akak Sally, saya tabik kat akak!!! *(the eldest baru abih SPM & I think just enrolled collage)

btw, Kak Sally solat Dhuha tiap2 hari kat surau level 2- mesti dr solat she gained her strength i.e spiritually coz she knows she is the C.H.o.S.e.N one....masyaAllah..

p/s- baru terperasan..from lrt, I can see tanah perkuburan Keramat. Al-Fatihah utk Aunty Yam (Maryam binti Mutalib) ibu pada Nur Nilam Sari, meninggal dlm tido ms Nilam umur 8 bulan. skarang Nilam dh darjah 1, Aunty  Mal tolong jaga Nilam.

hari Aunty Yam meninggal, aku br nk pegi ofis, kat tol KD. instead of going to right-Damansara, trus shift to KL-ms June called infm Aunty Yam x bgn tido, maybe meninggal tp Polis/Dr lom sahkan...

terus EL & stay smpi kebumi after solat Jumaat.. I was carrying AF- 4 months then.
