Rahsia Doa?

2011-11-13T17:04:00.000-08:00

"Isn’t bad when you are working so hard to figure out beautiful words for your love one but yet NOT during your prayer to THE ALMIGHTY. Forgive Ya Allah."

It was so true. At least for me. Come to think about it. Allah has thought us the proper way to perform our Do'a..saya terfikir seperti ini... kita sentiasa ingin mencari or memikirkan wording2 yang creative, menyentuh jiwa buah hati kita takkala ingin menulis sebait ayat atau kata-kata, betul kan? :) tapi pernah kah kita terfikir yang kit a seharusnya melakukan perkara yang sama takkala kita ingin meminta dari pada yang menciptakan kita? sedangkan buah hati kita hanya makhluk yang bersifat sementara. Allah lah yang kekal.yang seharusnya kita dahulukan DIA melebihi yang lain-lain nya. Interesting, dont you think?

Why I said Allah has thought us the proper way to perform our do'a ?. Saya cuma terfikir di saat kita bersolat.. oh ya, solat itu doa nya. Kalau kita hayati tiap-tiap bait maksudnya, memang solat itu adalah doa yang panjang, yang sempurna kalau kita mememahaminya.

Di sini saya ingin mengambil contoh surah al-fatihah. (Ummul Kitaab),

If you read the translation of al-fatihah. It actually started with praising to Allah (1st verse), Thanking him for showering us with love and rahmah (2nd)... asking n begging him for forgiveness and mercy (the last 3 verses).. End with Aminnn (hoping it will be granted).

Those verses are so beautiful!... nicely written. Of course!!! how can it not be because its word from the ALMIGHT , THE MOST WISEFUL. Permintaan dari hamba kepada kekasihnya.. sangat sempurna..perfect!

So, apa kaitannya dengan doa?
hehe.. ok begini, I've been thinking this should be the way we perform our doa.. start with thanking and praising Allah and only then u ask for whatever you want. but wouldnt it be beautiful if you can say it the most nice, beautiful words ever? Thats why most of the muslim scholars always the refer to the beautiful doas that has been using by Nabi2, Sahabat2... because its so beautiful, tersusun, indah.. kan kan? ok at least tu lah pandangan saya yang sangat-sangat kurang ilmunya. perkongsian yang sangat dekat dengan kita.mudah-mudahan bermamfaat, kalau ada yang membacanya. :)

so lets practice and explore this!..InsyaAllah

Kota Kinabalu 13-17 Oct 2011 (1st day)

2011-11-06T01:38:00.001-07:00

With Allah permission, Alhamdulillah. we managed to be at the Tip of Borneo , Negeri di bawah bayu. Kota kinabalu, Sabah on 13hb until 17hb Oct 2011. Why did I said "manag

e to be"? it simply because we've booked the ticket since last year... dengan siapa lagi if not??..

pakcik tony@Airasia. (mcm pakcik aku plak haha)really need to thank them for make it possible. kalau harap MAS, tade la pegi.. sayang duit wooi hehe.. :)

So why KK? why choose KK for our family trip? Basically it was due to the beautiful beaches, views, mountain and the most importantly food. hehe ok la.. ESPECIALLY SEAFOOD. KK is a seafood paradise. you can get a yummy delicious seafood meal at very affordable price. I cant say cheap because the thing that you ordered there is not the same thing that you'll ordered in Semenjung. Contoh nya Udang Harimau ka? lobster ka? ok fine aku tak makan lobster lak masa kat sane.. h

e he.... Me and husband is the nature type. We love nature and view. But yet open ourselves for adventures. Thats why we choose KK rather than Genting/Hongkong Disney. Which eventually still in my wishlist but later2 la kan.. he he..:)

You know, if you want it cheaper you need to book earlier..( good deal RM 350 return ticket for 5 adults? murah giler kan.. hehe.). so when it comes to something like this, ..anything can happen. I can get pregnant or could get into any work related/issue or whatever that Allah may think it best for me which consequently will lead to the cancellation of this trip. but really can't Thank Allah enough for all these nikmat.. Nikmat jalan-jalan, nikmat makan, kasih sayang.. All that I cant list it down here because the list will be too long!...(ok enough said)

Here goes the details....

13hb Oct 2011- Arrived at KK at noon around 11am. (Time zone I think -1hr++). so subuh at 5.00 am and lunch time at 11am. ( so do you math kay. Jangan terlajak subuh pulak.). Its very the NO-NO thing to do. ( Dosa woo.... kot2 la jadi ape ape kan.. nak bersukaria la konon2nye.. so enough said...mcm ustazah plak hehe ). SOoo... We've checked in Promenade Apart

ment for a night. The apartment is not so nice... you'll feel like living in a flat. but interior is ok but not the outside. you can find the review from tripadvisor or watsoever other holidays website kay.. I won't do it here.

For me, you got what you pay for. For me, we just stay there for a night. so sabar je lah :). ni kes saje nak try and jimat la konon nye.

For those coming as couple, I'd suggest you guys to stay at other places like promenande hotel or if the budget so surplus can go to sutera harbour :), for promenade, you can get a good deal by booking earlier via this website

(http://www.promenade.com.my/) .

So what we did on the 1st day?

13hbOct (Evening) , went to Borneo Mall at KK, went there by Bus. We took the public transport. we only paid rm1/each. murah giler kan. 1st time took a family trip by bus. the bus station is walking distance, around 5 minutes. the bus is the one with 'green-yellow'. you cant be wrong. It was a bit challenge at first but It was all OK all the way. Its a new experience to the kids too. so It's a good thing. (Ok ok tak la aci sangat.. my helper ikut sekali.. hehe)..

Borneo Mall, KK

What did we get from Borneo Mall? nothing much. they said it is the biggest shopping mall in KK. but yet cant compete with Midvalley. but the thing that we've learnt, had a nice view , seeing something from the route took by the bus, which not something that you can have when you're driving the car (for this case it doesnt apply to me because Im not the driver and finally the experience that the kids get while taking the public bus. so overall kewl lah. (but not adviseable if your day is too short)

So back from borneo mall, it was getting dark. Everybody felt very tried especially the kids. so me n hubby went out to buy dinner for the night and back at our room for dinner. So what we had for dinner? Jeng jeng jeng..

seafood bakar, yang hijau tu seaweed, norman's fav and chicken wings yang fames tuu.. (wajib makan!). the not forgotten the bakso, sedap ok. gambar je tade.. all this you can get at the famous pasar filipina tu.. Selamat mencuba dan bersambung nanti . Tunggu because the next day, we'll be driving to kudat and kundasang! worthy journey i tell you!

Nasihat 1

2011-08-24T09:11:00.001-07:00

Percayalah semua yang berlaku itu, adalah datangnya dari kehendak dan keizinan Allah, Tidak bergerak biar sezarah pun tanpa keizinan dari Allah.

Bagi yang beilmu hakkul yakin, bukan hantu yang mereka takut bukan senjata yang mereka gentar atau bukan jampi yang mereka khuatir. yang mereka takut, gentar dan kuatir itu, jangan sampai akal dan hatinya lupa pada Allah.

Orang yang lalai itu, adalah orang yang lupa diri, lupa pula pada Allah.

Sedar yakin dan percaya bahawa diri kita ini, adalah tempat Allah meletak dan menzahirkan sifat sifatNYA, samaada baik atau buruk .

Ingatan pada Allah, hendaklah jangan sampai lupa dan jangan sampai diabaikan. berbanyaklah ingat pada Allah, bahawa Allah itu tidak bersifat membenci atau berdendam pada umatNYA. Allah akan tetap bersama kita walau apapun kita, Berlindunglah kepada Allah dari sifat lupa dan lalai.

Allah itu terlalu dekat dengan kita. Dekatnya tidak bersentuhan, jauhnya tidak berantara.

2011-06-28T19:10:00.000-07:00

suka melihat hyunjoong tersenyum.. buat hatiku berbunga ceria keh keh keh. imagine kalau die datang malaysia? opsss??!!!

Athirah reaction upon seeing my desktop (I yang suruh die tengok!! haha):

Me:"ohh boyfren ibu"Athirah: "BUkanlah.. boyfren ibu kan ayah??? "
Me: hukhukk OPSSSSSSSS..

My BigA and her Asthma attack

2011-06-21T15:56:00.000-07:00

My poor sugarpie, BigA has been warded for asthma . She cant breath properly. I cant do much to help. We've been trying to feed her with ventolin scrup and inhaler(the one that need to be use with chamber - ventoline gak name die) bottom line, it doesn't work. We've brought her to annur clinic and took nab (nabulizer) that very night (a night before warded) but it worked only for a while. She can't sleep all night. caughing non-stop. Kesian ok!

The next day, early morning, I mean not so early around 9 am we brought her to the annur again. Hopefully, she can get nab again and hopefully she'll breath properly after that. And as expected- "mcm mak die doc kan?", upon doc checked, she immediately suggestted for nab. err not just once, twicee!! double dose.... which took us around 1 hr ++ (plus the waiting time.. 2 kali, 2 kali check doc, 2 kali tunggu etc). huhuhu/// kesian. but seriously,its easier to handle her than iman.. but i think its harder for those with babies.
So, after the 2nd nab, Its doesnt really improved her breathing so doc decided to warded.. so there you go... NOW, Here we are stuck in the annur bed Lilly 8 for 2 nights. Actually, I can see her condition improving on the 1st day .. so was soooo looking forward that maybe ... the mr nice doctor will release us the next day. but the mr nice doctor has turned to Mr- not-so nice doc because he said that he can only release us after 2 nights. that's because BigA require to take 48hrs dosage of ubat2an which including all the antibiotic n gasses (nabulizer) - every 4 hrs.

No wonder la I tak boleh buat kerja kat sini kan?

It's 3 days, 2 nights guys !! not that I mind.. err actually i mind jugak because of I need to take my leave (rugi rugi) hehehhee. ala you know.. kinna boring seeing the wall everywhere. stay inside the box. cant really go anywhere. ^_^ terukkan mak dia. but i think compare me to her, lagi kesian la die kan

Actually, I did go somewhere especially when Mr Ayah came to visit. I will use this as excuse to go somewhere. you know just to get some fresh air . seeing the outside world. hik hik.

But thinking about it, not all bad. "Setiap takdir/ujian/perjalanan yang Allah tetapkan untuk umatnya pasti ada hikmah yang tersembunyi.. hanya mereka yang berfikir merenung pasti akan dapat merasainya." dan inilah yang i rasa. WE did some many things together.

"tell stories, drawing, colouring, playing games- computer games/android games, yang tak boleh blah - exploring.. dari 3rd floor to 2nd floor, siap bawak paper lagi.. konon2 mcm dora's map. hikhik.. tak sempat tengok email office pun... slow giler gune 3G. So, Just want to show you some of her art works.

Somehow, I think maybe its just another way that she could spend more time with me. But,not in the way that I imagine or- should be. What can I say, LitteI always manage to get our attention using her tantrum and all. BigA selalu mengalah :(. MrN used to say this " I paham perasaan anak yang pertama ini" since he's 1st. Hehe. Which I will respond back with " Apa yang u try nak highlight ni?? " and always end with him gelak-gelak.. The BigQ is hm.. apakah yang di lalui ya??? adik-adik suami, kalian suka buli abang kalian ka? hak hak..

So, on our last day, managed to check out during noon.. dan inilah muka kanak-kanak ceria yang dapat keluar hospital!!! Alhamdulillah. Hopefully, she'll recover fast. we still need to continue with antibiotic n several other ubats at home.

Athirah :"Ibu, ambil gambar saya kat sini !!"

Story of Hope

2011-06-16T18:04:00.000-07:00

Very inspiring story from Ravi shanker. hope can read the full version soon, I'm working on it yeahh. anyone of you have e-news id, pinjam plsss..
http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2011/6/11/lifeliving/8863289&sec=lifeliving

Snipped: from thestar.com.my (a reader's comments)

I WAS touched and inspired by Ravi Shankar Rama Murthy’s story in “The answer is dance” (The Star, June 11). I can empathise with his predicament, being this mother’s only child, to be left in the cold after her sudden death.

He was left with no choice but to grow up overnight, at 15. I have come across people of lesser character who blame everything and everyone for unfortunate events that happen to them.

Some blamed others (even their own spouses and family members) for bringing them bad luck, some blame the stars and their birth signs, some even blame God. These people refuse and are incapable of, assessing the situation objectively, analysing the failures and making plans how to tackle the challenges.

They wallow in self pity and think that their “bad luck” is the work of others. They do not look within themselves and acknowledge their shortcomings. They do not think ahead and strive to resolve problems.

Many have even taken to drugs and alcohol abuse, neglecting their responsibilities. They forget that God will only help those who help themselves. Ravi has endured much suffering and yet, it has taught him tenacity and given him strength of spirit and character.

The bottom line is, he worked hard; he worked to earn money to survive, he worked hard to do well in his studies, he worked hard in his career, he worked hard unwaveringly to establish Asthana Arts, and above everything else, his determination shone through.

This is the lesson I have reminded my children after reading Ravi’s story - you have to work hard to succeed, there is no short cut to success.

In times of adversity, be strong and determined to face challenges. Live your life with the highest integrity and you will be rewarded and recognised one day. Thank you, The Star for bringing us such inspiring stories.

SS LIANG,

Cheras, Selangor.

Benda bertenggek di bahuku

2011-02-25T01:10:00.000-08:00

Sesudah solat subuh pagi tadi, tiba-tiba bahuku terasa sakit.
Lalu aku mengendeng kepada en suami untuk minta di picitkan.

Suami: sakit kat mane? sini ke , sambil jari memicit-micit bahuku.
Saya: exactly kat bawah tengkuk i.. sakit giler.. imagine, macam ada batu tiba-tiba singgah di bahu.
Suami: hm.. ada lah benda-benda duduk bertenggek. baca lah apa apa yang patut.
Saya: hahaha pandai la u buat lawak..

Dalam hati: hisk .. kalau betul macammana? saya pun mula la membaca ayat kursi dan sebagainya ,tapi perlahan lahan.. je. maklumla, tadikan tak percaya? (masih kontrol macho kan)

Setelah siap untuk pergi kerja , kami turun ke bawah. Hari ni, kami makan breakfast dulu. roti dan kaya je.

Saya masih sakit bahu lagi.. fikiran saya masih memikirkan bahu yang sakit. sambil makan, kami berbual lagi....

Saya: "kalau betul ada benda bertenggek macam u cakap tadi, macammana ek .. takutla pulak.. "

Suami: "hm..memang ada benda bertenggek, warnannya hitam (sambil mata dibesarkan)
"Saya: errkk. isk benda apa ni.(takut kot!)

(cuak, dalam hati)
.

Suami: tu dia! (menunjukkan tangan ke benda ini) , saya? wuarghhhh...

Internal audit di office saya

2011-01-25T23:47:00.001-08:00

Audit. Hah Apa itu audit? apa kah? wtahshjkh?

Harini office saya sedang di audit. Bukan audit besar-besaran.

internal audit saja.. menurut spec ISO ye teman-teman.

bukan macam audit yang adik saya @eby. Bukan seperti PWH or EY or ntah mane2 audit firm tu

bukan begitu...

So pagi ni dimulakan dengan baik.

alhamudulillah. bermula dari seorang auditor berlainan bangsa.. tegur-teguran semua diterima dengan baik.

auditor kedua? juga hebat.. mungkin kerana saya telah berjaya memberi jawapan yang hebat.. haha apakah??

tapi,

sampai tengahari saya diinterview oleh seorang auditor yang berstatus "bonda".

die sangat mengannoyingkan saya. dan percayalah.

mesti die sangat annoying dengan saya juga! ha ha. mungkinkah OBIYESSS?

tu la antara masalah terbesar saya. kalau dah start tak suka , memang tak pandai nak sorok2.

cubala cover2 malu seket.. tapi, percayalah. suami saya sangat pandai semua ini. (part cover2 malu tu).

so, akhirnya saya banyak diam saja. kalau penting baru bersuara. Jika tidak, my staff yang bersuara. Hm.. staff saya semua pandai. so boss die boleh relax2. hahaha. *berdosa*.

Percayalah, saya buat begitu supaya kalian semua jadi lebih pandai, berdidikasi, berkaliber... .. * ayat sopan*

Walau apapun, saya bersetuju yang saya patut memandang positive atas semua pandangan orang dan terima dengan berlapang dada. lain orang lain pandangan. lain rambutan, lain durian.

Bila Athirah mahukan sesuatu..

2011-01-13T18:01:00.000-08:00

Pulang sudah lewat malam. Sewaktu keluar dari rumah, hari masih gelap lagi. Kerap kali Athirah berpesan pada kami supaya balik awal tetapi dalam seminggu mungkin sesekali sahaja kami boleh sampai sebelum waktu maghrib. Itulah dilema ibu bapa berkerjaya. Dengan rintihan anak saban hari yang inginkan lebih perhatian dari ibu dan ayah.

“Kasihan”, bisik kami dalam hati. Akan tetapi, kejadian sebaliknya berlaku takkala Athirah inginkan dibelikan sesuatu.

“Ibu, boleh ibu belikan saya yang ini” kata Athirah sambil tangan menunjuk ke arah mainan yang diingini.
Saya membalas,”ibu kan tak cukup duit, baruje belikan Athirah ikan, betul tak?”
“Kalau macam tu, ibu mesti kerja balik malam-malam lah” kata Athirah.

Hm.. dalam fikiran kami,”boleh pulak kan?”. Namun, ini mungkin kata-kata bibik tiap kali memujuk setiap kali kami lewat pulang.

Kasih seorang ayah.

2011-01-10T22:08:00.000-08:00

Tahun ini umur ayah 63 tahun. Alhamdulillah, Allah mengurniakan kesihatan yang baik buat Ayah. Walaupun hujung minggu yang lalu semasa berkunjung ke ampang, ayah ada menyatakan tentang bahu yang sudah mula sakit-sakit tapi tidaklah terlalu ketara.”Itu adalah tanda peningkatan usia”, kata ayah. “Itu juga tanda kasih sayang Allah kan”, aku mengingatkan diri sendiri tanpa suara. Walau tanpa kita sedari, masa berlalu dengan begitu cepat yang tidak mampu dengan kudrat yang kita ada untuk menahannya. Walau apapun yang terjadi pada hari ini, masa akan tetap meninggalkan kita. Tahun depan umur pasti meningkat lagi.

Ayahku seorang yang penyayang, mengerti dan prihatin dalam diam. Dulu, sewaktu aku masih belajar di sekolah asrama, ayah pernah menghantar surat dan kad ucapan hari lahir yang dititipkan bersama pesanan dan azimat keramat. Semasa di sana, ayah cuma datang 3 kali dalam tempoh 2 tahun mengajianku di sana. Kalau dibandingkan dengan adik-beradik yang lain, mereka lebih beruntung. Mungkin kerana jarak sekolahku yang agak jauh. Walaupun adik beradikku 9 orang, kami tidak pernah merasa kekurangan. Ayah bijak dalam menggunakan pendekatan yang berbeza-beza mengikut personality kami yang pelbagai.Itulah yang menyebabkan kami selalu merasa dekat dengan ayah. Setiap kali aku menghulurkan duit bulanan pada ayah, selain dari ucapan terima kasih, ayah akan mencium wang dengan senyuman dan menampakkan gigi. Halus dan tulus. Satu perasan berbaur-baru kurasai. Ayah tak pernah meminta-minta. Ayah tidak pernah mengharapkan apa-apa dari kami adik beradik. Walaupun di hari jadinya kerana itulah yang terjadi. . Itu juga pesanan ayah pada adik-adikku. Semoga jangan mengharap apa-apa hadiah dari sesiapapun. Jujurnya aku tidak tahu apakah yang sesuai untuk diberikan pada ayah. Sudahnya, aku cuma memasak hidangan istimewa untuk ayah dan mak sewaktu mereka pulang dari Taiping. ”macam makan dekat hotel”, puji ayah. Sehingga aku rasa berada di awang-awangan.

Disebalik didikan dan kasih sayang dari seorang ayah, terdapat rasa hormat yang mendalam dirasai dalam hati saya. Itu juga mungkin dirasai oleh adik beradik kami yang lain. Rasa itu mungkin timbul kerana ayah mengajar kami membaca mengenal kitab suci alquran. Sabar dan tekun dalam mengajar kami setiap kali waktu maghrib tiba walaupun di celah-celah kesibukan dan kepenatan berkerja seharian di pejabat. Walau tidak dinafikan terdapat cubitan yang hinggap di sana sini tapi kami akur. Dahulu, sering rasa tidak puas hati. Tapi kini, kami sedar ayah sekadar ingin mendidik. Tapi, adik kami yang paling bongsu sekali paling beruntung kerana ayah lebih sabar dan tidak lagi memberi cubitan. Tapi, suara ayah mengajar mengaji masih kuat seperti selalu.

Terima kasih Allah kerana memberikan aku kebahagian ini. Walaupun bersifat sementara tapi benarkan ianya berpanjangan untuk lebih lama lagi kerana kami masih lagi mahu terus merasakan kasih sayang ayah. Sesungguhnya ia tidak akan terbalas segala jasa ayah walau kehujung nyawaku nanti akan tetapi daku akan selalu memohon agar ayah selalu redha dengan anak-anakmu dan bahagia sepanjang hayat di dunia dan akhirat. Terima Kasih ayah. Mudah-mudahan angah akan terus diberikan kesempatan untuk membahagiakanmu sehingga ke akhir hayatmu nanti. Amin.

Percutian di Cameron Highland

2010-11-18T17:36:00.001-08:00

Hari minggu yang lalu. kami sekeluarga berserta bibik tercinta telah menjejakkan kaki sekali lagi ke cameron highland. (When i say sekali lagi means untuk me and hubby je, org lain first time ). Walaupun perjalanan yang bersimpang siur seperti huruf S dan kadang2 huruf Z, hujan lebat dan di iringi dengan muntah bibik .. OPsss... (kesian,tak biasa jalan jauh sangat ) tapi itu semua tidak menghalang kami untuk sampai ke puncakk (cheewah! he he) syukurlah semuanya selamat. Sebenarnya percutian ini dah lama di rancang dan setelah dikira, trip ini telah berjaya menghabiskan duit sebanyak. Hmm.. almost 1K lah. Hahhaha Duhh!! ala biaselah.. seket tu seket ni. dah campur semua memang hampir2 la tu.. ha tu baru g cameron je.. :P. yang lain2 tu.. toksah pk la..tu sebab tabung percutian tu penting terutamanya untuk orang yang suka berjalan mcm kami ini. tu penting ikut budget. walaupun seringkali terlebih budget.. hehe. yelah, bukan ape nanti kang tade duit lak nak makan ;) . makan la ikan bilis, ikan masin. hm yang anak2 hari2 telur ayam... ( OHH TIDAAAK )

By the way, kami menginap di Strawberry Park Resort. best ke tak? hm.. BOLEHHH la.. ok jugakla.. semua yang perlu ada di situ. breakfast pun best. aman damai.. tenang... Athirah n Iman pun suka sampai tanak balik.. Eh mcm mana pulakboleh tanak balik setakat cameron highland yang tade ape pun kot ( err.. merujuk kepada perbualan dengan Farrah Aiza lah - sebab member cakap pergi cameron sehari pun dah cukup! haha - actually I agree). Actually, tempat percutian ini dipilih kerana melayan karenah Athirah yang teringin nak picking strawberry. Hm.. Yes its her favourite fruit.. boleh mengadap tu.. ntah berapa bijik masuk dalam perut die dalam sehari dan alhamdulillah.. tak sakit perut.. syukur2.. and ibu die, waaahhh perlu ada sekurang-kurangnya gula, whipping cream.. Oh yess, yang manis2 tu :P. Masam kot strawberry tu . Iman dengan strawberry. Hm s0-so lah. Athirah lagi hebatt..

Selain dari tu, yang bestnya di Cameron .. sayur2annya lah. segar2. puaaasss makan! sedap ok!! oh yes. I'm expert utk masak sayur je (oh kesian suami ku, patut kurus! ). hehe.. sorry sayang... i tau u suke makan sayur kan kan.. dan tak dilupakan minum air teh di tepi ladang strawberry. wahh kalau pergi berdua lagi layan.. dan sekali ngan anak2 kecil ni.. hmm layan dierg lagi best.. cutee!!

kami di sana 3 hari 2 malam. Mujur bawak bibik, boleh pergi berdating malam-malam, bibik stay kat hotel temankan anak-anak yang tidur.. (not bad ek bawak bibik.. hehe, tactic tuuu.. ) In conclusion, bagi saya ini percutian yang menggembirakan. menenangkan. mengasyikkan. Terima Kasih Allah kerana mengurniakan kesihatan, perjalanan selamat pergi dan pulang. Terima Kasih Abang untuk segala-galanya. Sungguh aku mencheentai MU (haha opss)... Hm. Abang cakap nak pergi lagi.. in 5 years! Yeayy .. ;-) Actually, yang paling penting spend quality time with family. tak kisahla pergi mana-mana pun yang penting ikatan kasih sayang, kekeluargaan dapat dipereratkan. Alhamdulillah.

6 perkara Allah sembunyikan

2010-11-18T17:19:00.000-08:00

Salams to All. actually terasa nak kongsi tazkirah ni . Got it from a friend of mine. Alhamdulillah. Mudah2an dapat pengajaran dan digunakan untuk memperbaiki amalan kita . Sungguh Allah maha besar dan maha mengasihani.

Allah SWT selesai menciptakan Jibrail as dengan bentuk yang cantik, dan
Allah menciptakan pula baginya 600 sayap yang panjang , sayap itu antara
timur dan barat (ada pendapat lain menyatakan 124, 000 sayap). Setelah itu
Jibrail as memandang dirinya sendiri dan berkata:

"Wahai Tuhanku, adakah engkau menciptakan makhluk yang lebih baik
daripada aku?."

Lalu Allah swt berfirman yang bermaksud.. "Tidak"

Kemudian Jibrail as berdiri serta solat dua rakaat kerana syukur kepada
Allah swt. dan tiap-tiap rakaat itu lamanya 20,000 tahun.

Setelah selesai Jibrail as solat, maka Allah SWT berfirman yang
bermaksud. "Wahai Jibrail, kamu telah menyembah aku dengan ibadah yang bersungguh-sungguh, dan tidak ada
seorang pun yang menyembah kepadaku seperti ibadat kamu, akan tetapi di akhir
zaman nanti akan datang seorang nabi yang mulia yang paling aku cintai,
namanya Muhammad.' Dia mempunyai umat yang lemah dan sentiasa berdosa, sekiranya mereka itu mengerjakan solat dua rakaat yang hanya sebentar sahaja, dan mereka dalam keadaan lupa serta serba kurang, fikiran mereka melayang bermacam-macam dan dosa mereka pun besar juga. Maka demi kemuliaannKu dan ketinggianKu, sesungguhnya solat mereka itu aku lebih sukai dari solatmu itu. Kerana mereka mengerjakan solat atas perintahKu, sedangkan kamu mengerjakan solat bukan atas perintahKu."

Kemudian Jibrail as berkata: "Ya Tuhanku, apakah yang Engkau hadiahkan
kepada mereka sebagai imbalan ibadat mereka?"

Lalu Allah berfirman yang bermak! sud. "Ya Jibrail, akan Aku berikan
syurga Ma'waa sebagai tempat tinggal..."

Kemudian Jibrail as meminta izin kepada Allah untuk melihat syurga
Ma'waa. Setelah Jibrail as mendapat izin dari Allah SWT maka pergilah Jibrail
as dengan mengembangkan sayapnya dan terbang, setiap dia mengembangkan dua
sayapnya dia boleh menempuh jarak perjalanan 3000 tahun, terbangla h malaikat
jibrail as selama 300 tahun sehingga ia merasa letih dan lemah dan akhirnya
dia turun singgah berteduh di bawah bayangan sebuah pohon dan dia sujud
kepada Allah SWT lalu ia berkata dalam sujud:

"Ya Tuhanku apakah sudah aku menempuh jarak perjalanan setengahnya, atau
sepertiganya, atau seperempatnya?"

Kemudian Allah swt berfirman yang bermaksud. "Wahai Jibrail, kalau kamu
dapat terbang selama 3000 tahun dan meskipun aku memberikan kekuatan
kepadamu seperti kekuatan yang engkau miliki, lalu kamu terbang seperti
yang telah kamu lakukan, nescaya kamu tidak akan sampai kepada sepersepuluh
dari beberapa perpuluhan yang telah kuberikan kepada umat Muhammad terhadap
imbalan solat dua rakaat yang mereka kerjakan.... ."

Marilah sama2 kita fikirkan dan berusaha lakukan... Sesungguhnya Allah
S.W.T telah menyembunyikan enam perkara iaitu :

* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan redha-Nya dalam taat.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan murka-Nya di dalam maksiat.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan nama-Nya yang Maha Agung di dalam Al-Quran.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan Lailatul Qadar di dalam bulan Ramadhan.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan solat yang paling utama di dalam solat
(yang lima waktu).
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan (tarikh terjadinya) hari kiamat di dalam
semua hari.

Semoga kita mendapat berkat daripada ilmu ini. Wallahualam

Office problem?

2010-11-10T18:53:00.000-08:00

Today, I gave my staff some advices (short lecture) to correct his misbehaviour. The truth, it's not easy. As I always know that Im no perfect after all.

You and me. Nobody's perfect right. But, Whatever need to be done ,need to be done. Plus, I really want him to receive rezeki yang halal/berkat for his son at home. Sometimes, I think being a boss means that you'll actually become a nurturer. Just like you having a kid. you have to make them better. provide them a better environment, giving motivation, make them grow into a better person.

Today, I've done that small part of it. Hopefully, he'll realise and do better. InsyaAllah, only to Allah we depend and seek help. Amin.

cant wait for saturday

2010-11-09T22:03:00.000-08:00

wah wah.. i've been counting for friday but suddenly mr.h informed me it's actually saturday.. wah.. sedih (mode : kecewa, x boleh escape friday's meeting). Tape2. Allah tahu yang terbaik untuk kite!! ye betuuuul...

What we had last friday

2010-11-06T16:59:00.000-07:00

It was my birthday. and yes my husband's birthday was the day before. ^_^ . It wasn't any fancy celebration as it was meant for grown ups ;) but of course for kids, what a birthday without cake n blowing candles. its the most important part of all . Personally for me, its been a bless. having all my family members around (almost all). Some of them couldnt make it here because attending some other important events like atuk rani (work) auntie dila( prepare for SPM exam), alia (exam too) and mumun n emin (sebok cat rumah). Thank you guys! tu pun dah cukup meriah kot. :p

The event was supposed to start immediately after asar but due to late arrival of special guests ( all of you are special, thats why I need to wait for everybody LOL). So the event starts with makan's time. At 6.30 pm, we recited the yassin n doa selamat. had maghrib n isyak prayer together and continue finishing all the food (until the next morning).. Alhamdulillah. Syukur syukur..

Ucapan2: Syukur alhamdulillah, Thank you Allah for let me live to this age. I dont know how long will I live but I really hope whatever comes I'll accept with syukur and will go through all the test that HE has set for me. For family n friends, I am truly grateful for having you around. For all the prayers and love. I am so blessed. Not to mention here. Having facebook on your birthday is good too ^_^.

The menu: tomyam seafood, ayam goreng+ marinate with tepung n dried clilies + chocolate cup cake (yang moist giler), carrot cake, salad, kacang panjang bertelur. tu je kot.

p/s: Psst....I got a video card from my lovely, sweetie hubby.. nyehehhehe. best best !! opss (boleh upload kat sini tak abang?). (- da dpt approval la.. since katanya. adik beradik u je tgk kan)

Online birthday card for DaDDy.

Say it isnt so

2010-10-12T19:05:00.001-07:00

I've been thinking of you coz i just heard this song in my notbie.

Which makes me missing you. but I know Allah has created different path for u and me.
and Allah knows what best for us .As HIS servant, we must always redha and make the best out of it.

here's the songs. Enjoicee!! BTW,Gareth does have a good voice.

Blink blink.

2010-08-10T20:08:00.000-07:00

Stress, pening blink2 . tengok numbers,figures,statistic..
wuargghhh..
terfikir, dulu buat finance ok je?? huhu. different ok? since now, i've to come out with the strategy.. Hope i'm doing ok.

Iman

2010-08-06T06:57:00.000-07:00

mencelah di bantal gebu, Iman memboloskan dirinya.
membiarkan angin menyapa pipi. selembut-lembutnya.
Senyum girang. tanda menang!!

Allah Menduga

2010-07-30T07:12:00.000-07:00

fikiran serabut. Banyak yang mengisi. bersimpang siur, berliku-liku.
mulut hanya keluar butir-butir tak tentu. sambil akan menimbang apa yang percaturan yang perlu.

Ragamnya manusia berwarna warni,
Putaran alam seperti roda.
ada masa di atas, ada masa dibawah.
Aturan Allah
sudah tentulah berseni dan terpaling indah
cuma kita yang lupa untuk menghalusi.

Pasal apa ni?
1. Maid, yang...
2. Kerja yang tak pandai2 lagi.
3. urusan l****r .Menyesal? Harus. tapi sudah putus untuk redha. Rezeki ini Allah yang punya

Ya,Allah.. Keluarkan diriku dari kemelut ini. Jadikan apapun takdirmu untuk untukku, mampu ku hadapi dengan penuh redha. Jadikan aku di kalangan hambamu yang sentiasa bersyukur. Kerana aku tahu, sifat mu yang pengasih dan penyayang hanya mahu memberi pengajaran pada hambamu yang selalu leka, agar berubah mengikut jalan yang lurus.

Note: Betul. Allah tidak pernah ingin menghukum apatah lagi berlaku kejam. cuma kita yang jahil. tidak mahu belajar.

Sekitar majlis perkahwinan adindaku, Shahida

2010-06-25T09:17:00.001-07:00

I'm gonna write some review on my sister's wedding.

What we had on da's wedding was a very not so perfect wedding (like people say nobody's perfect) due to some unfortunate cases but i rather save it as my last thing to say. Let's focus on the positive side first. What I love about this wedding? of course everything.. but the thing that I remember mostly are Da smiles, your sweet 'baju' during her akad nikah. With her make up. she looks so sweet. you look so lovely, da. thanks kak yan (yan sri andam) for make it for my sister's day. Even though, there are several things that we were not satisfy about, but I think da would easily left it behind. like the veil... which actually we did mentioned that we want it.. but she said it was not what we agree before and no keris for the groom?. Poor them. but I know that small thing doesnt spoil your day, right? coz it was perfect, the way that you always want it. Alhamdulilah, harus terus bersyukur da.

and another thing that i love about her wedding is the flower girls. Hey, you cannot not agree with me!;-). They are so sweet. I think i need to congratulate kak long for able to convince them to throw the rose petals. Its so lovely, kak. nanti bleh buat untuk mun plak.. kire assign siap2 la kat akak lah yee.. he he.

The bad side?

At 2pm, lauk kenduri dah nak abes, yang tinggal just apa yang ada je... what to do? at first, the caterer told us that they will cook extra lauk but after several minutes, when my along asked them again, they told him that it wasn't prepared. kat situ je dah terbuang masa beberapa minit.. cait betul. Everybody got into this panic attacked. me and along decided to go to tesco to buy chicken and fried them at home. but alhamdulillah, thank you to tesco - selling rosted chicken which had save us. we bhought 15 bird of chickens and some cabbages,chilies which immediately cooked by all my makciks. alhamdullillah, at 3pm, we managed to serve them. that time, lauk yang tinggal just saki baki je.. sungguh tragiss.. induk miah ckp, mak dah nak nangis dah.. he he.. malu kan? tu la tapi nak buat macam mana.. kita hanya merancang.
tapi dengan izin Allah, semuanya ok. again, alhamdulillah. lalu, nikmat Allah yang manakah hendak kamu dustakan?

Opss that's not all. There is another thing. which is very very sad. It;s about my makcik- induk atun n induk miah, which things inside their handbags has been stolen by pencurik who able to sneak into my parent's room during that peak hours. we believe it happened during 'pengantin makan beradab'. pencurik has managed to use my makcik's credit card to buy fuel n new handphone at price of RM 1.5k.kesian... mak feels guilty because mak is the one who responsible, as they asked mak to put it in somewhere save. yela kan, mestila mintak tolong tuan rumah simpankan. kesian sangat... huhu..mak ganti kot nanti.. tapi, memang wajah mak tampak muram malam itu.

Begitulah cerita suka dan duka tentang majlis perkahwinan da yang angah ingat. Mudah-mudahan coretan ini membantu kita mengingati dan mengambil pengajaran. Walaubagaimanapun, yang paling penting pengantin gembira dan bahagia. Itupun sudah cukup untuk menghilangkan segala pahit yang dilalui sepanjang dan selepas majlis berlangsung. Buat da dan wan, hiduplah dengan rukun. Jadi lah teman yang terbaik. Semoga perkahwinan da n wan berkekalan dan diberkati dunia dan di akhirat. Amin.

Monolog dunia politik tanah air

2009-12-04T22:35:00.000-08:00

Saya rasa sangat kecewa dengan sikap Najib dan kuncu-kuncu nya yang menafikan hak kerajaan negeri Kelantan atas soal perjanjian royalti minyak petronas-kelantan. Bagaimana mereka mengembar-gemburkan cerita yang buruk tentang tuan guru dan keluarga. Tentang doa. Apa salah tentang doa? Mereka adalah kaum yang lemah, yang tidak punya kuasa. Hanya doa sahaja yang mereka ada. Doa orang teraniya? Apa yang tak kena? Bagaimana kita mendoakan kejatuhan rejim zionis kerana menganiaya saudara kita di palestin, begitu juga yang berlaku di sini. masih ingatkah satu ketika dulu, kita sendiri pernah menganjurkan solat hajat beramai-ramai mendoakan kejatuhan rejim zionis.

Hanya kerana tidak ada isu, jangan biarkan isu bodoh yang menular. Terlalu tumpulkah pena wartawan-wartawan Malaysia atau mungkin merasakan mata pencarian itu lebih penting dari menegakkan kebenaran. Sudah kehabisan idea atau mungkin lemah dalam segala tindak-tanduk. Aku tahu, aku tak layak bersuara kerana aku bukan di tempat mereka. tentang tekanan dari orang atasan. Harapan saya semua orang tabah menghadapi dugaan.

Berkenaan pemerintahan sekarang. Semakin ketara rasanya berada di bawah pentadbiran kuku besi, Cuma wajahnya tidak kelihatan lagi. Menjerat diam-diam. Menafikan hak bersuara rakyat. Tidakkah mereka ini terfikir yang apa dilakukan ini cuma akan menambah kebencian rakyat pada mereka? Rakyat is now well educated and too stupid not realizing on all your stupid action! Bantulah ya Allah, buat mereka-mereka yang teraniya untuk mendapatkan hak mereka. I just can’t ignore it any longer. Susah bila berbicara guna emosi!! he he. Itu bicara ayah, lalu lebih baik diam dan memerhati. Lakukan tindakan bila tiba waktu nya nanti. Well said Ayah!!

Langkawi's Trip With CIk Arale's Family

2009-12-01T20:57:00.001-08:00

Mid November 09, kami sekeluarga bersama keluarga teman rapat saya, Nur Azrah Suleman @ cik arale telah terbang ke kota mahsuri@ Langkawi. Trip yang mengambil masa 3 hari 2 mlm. Kami menginap di Apartment Kondo Istana. Buat teman saya, merupakan kali pertama tapi bagi kami, dah beberapa kali. Mulanya, trip ini dibuat kerana saya ingin bershopping-sakan pinggan mangkuk. Oleh kerana, kewangan yang tidak mengizinkan. Tidak banyak barang yang dapat di beli. Saya tidak pula merasa kesal tapi tentu saja sedikit terkilan.. tapi semestinya terdapat kebaikan atau hikmah yang berlimpah luah atas peristiwa ini iaitu tidak lain tidak bukan, duit saya tidak habis!! Ha ha. Maklum saja, simpan sedikit untuk dibawa ke bandung nanti. Syurga beli belah; kata orang. Saya akan tahu juga nanti!! Terima kasih abang yang memberi keizinan. Nampaknya memang hiruk memandangkan kebanyakkan anggota rombongan merupakan ibu2 muda yang meninggalkan anak dalam jagaan suami. Cerita itu akan saya kongsikan nanti .

Untuk cerita di langkawi, saya tak rasa banyak yang ingin dikongsikan memandangkan ramai rakan2 blogger yang telah menjejakkan kaki di sana atau mungkin telah berkali-kali ke sana kampung halaman mereka (yang ini saya tujukan buat kak laila) atau mungkin ke sana kerana agenda shopping yang menyeronokkan. Tapi, tidak salah rasanya jika saya katakan percutian ini amat menggembirakan kami sekeluarga. Waktu yang dikongsi sangat berharga. Tentu sekali yang paling bahagia adalah si kecil, athirah, iman & arissa. Dapat menaiki kapal terbang, berada lebih tinggi dari awan nan putih, langit nan biru, melanggari awan yang memutih. Jika tidak gembira, masa kan suaranya kedengaran dari hujung ke hujung, dari penjuru ke penjuru.

"Wahhh so high!!! ; higher then the clouds"; dan yang paling menarik, apabila dia melihat stewardess yang memberi penerangan tentang penggunaan peralatan kecemasan, dia mengaitkan kejadian-kejadian ini seperti dalam cerita Madagaskar2 dengan satu jeritan.

" Ayah!! kita nak crash landing ke ayah????" ; yang mana kapal terbang ini akan terjatuh diakhirnya. Peminat-peminat madagaskar2 akan lebih memahami!! Lucu, buat kami.

Friends & Family,

Nikmati gambar-gambar di picasaweb ini, :D Terima kasih buat jurukamera terhormat keluarga kami, Norman Hafiz @ buah hati saya!!

P/s: Athirah sangat ingin bertemu lagi dengan arissa, bile boleh berjumpa lagi ya cik arale?

Kerusi Panas- OPick

2009-12-01T19:18:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah. Syukur padamu ya Allah atas nikmatmu yang berlimpah luah pada kami sekeluarga. Dua hari dulu, aku telah berpeluang untuk mendengar interview antara Aunur Rofiq Lil Firdaus atau lebih dikenali sebagai OPICK dan Azlan selaku pengacara dalam rancangan kerusi panas di RADIO BERNAMA, sedikit sebanyak telah memberi pengajaran padaku. Bagi yang kurang mengetahui, opick merupakan seorang aktivitis agama dalam bidang seni yang mana kerjaya seninya merangkumi penulisan, nyanyian, menerbitan dan lain-lain. Anak seni yang serba boleh, very down to earth & mempunyai pemikiran yang kritis. Walaupun hanya berpeluang mendengar di tengah-tengah rancangan dalam perjalanan pulang dari tempat kerja, namun masih dapat menangkap bual bicara tersebut dengan hati yang tenang dan damai. Menarik juga pulang lewat sedikit , dapat mengikuti rancangan “kerusi panas” !!.:D.Bual bicara radio yang amat informative. Antara perbualan yang menyentuh sanubari ku yang ingin dikongsikan.

Azlan: Apakah cabaran terbesar yang opick hadapi sepanjang berada dalam bidang ini

Opick: Ada satu ketika, orang memanggil saya dengan panggil ustad, kiyai, seolah-olah saya alim ulama’. Waktu itu, saya terfikir… saya bukan orang sebaik itu, saya tidak layak untuk gelaran itu. Jadi saya tidak membalas kata-kata mereka. Saya hanya tersenyum. Dalam hati saya, saya berdoa agar Allah jadikan saya seperti kata-kata mereka.

Azlan: Anda berada dalam bidang seni nasyid, dalam masa yang sama anda juga mencari rezeki; bagaimana anda menghadapinya.

Opick: Bagi saya, apapun yang kita lakukan biarlah di jalan Allah. Biar kita politikus, biarlah politikus kita di jalan Allah. Seperti saya, saya di dalam bidang seni, saya lakukan di jalan Allah.

Sungguh saya tersentuh, sebenarnya walau dilapangan mana pun kita bekerja, seharusnya kita melakukan nya dijalan Allah. Selain mendapatkan rezeki yang bersih dan berkat, kita harus berusaha untuk terus melakukan di jalan Allah. Tentu terdapat cara untuk kita mengajak orang disekeliling kita malahan kita sendiri untuk menuju kea rah kebaikan, kebahagian dunia dan akhirat.

Dalam diam, aku berdoa.” Ya Allah, jadikan hati ku semulia hati manusia ini. Ingatkan aku agar selalu berbuat baik dan melakukan sesuatu apapun di jalan mu ya Allah. Jadikan aku selalu bersyukur dengan nikmatmu. “Tanda aku sedari,aku tiba di pagar rumahku. abang sudah pulang, dan aku pasti kongsikan cerita ini dengan abang nanti.!! Pasti!

Cornetto Love

2009-09-01T16:52:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, we went to One Utama. Athirah had her cornnetto ice-cream. She ate that ice-cream until the last drop.

When the it was almost over, only half cone left without ice-cream on it. Suddenly, the cone dropped on the floor . My hubby said

“Its dirty!! Tak payah ambil lagi… “

Looking frustrated, She thought for while, hesitated.. picked it up…. Belek-belek.. And put it back on her mouth. It was so quick, Unable to stop her.
While crunching the cone for a while,she said… “Hmmm.. tade la ayah.. okey je ni …”

Hehehehhehhehe..

Moral of the story. From now on, we know that she wont easily believe on what we says.. she’ll analyse it herself.. good... but bahaya jugak ni. La la..

Ramadhan Oh Ramadhan

2009-08-25T17:13:00.000-07:00

To share, during yesterday berbuka, I cooked Sambal Goreng & Udang masak lemak cili padi with kacang buncis and Tempoyak… It turns out very nice. I wish I could share a picture here but I’m too lazy to go get the big camera upstairs while the food is already there to be eaten. That’s why I need a new camera. ^_^

I wish for a small camera, which able to fit in my bag where I can get it easily whenever I required. Suggest me any, with price less than RM 500 maybe? By the way, pictures below are just display. I just get from googling to other friends page. MY udang is with buncis.. yes yes.. and tempoyak, so the yellow colour is darker.

Happy Ramadhan Al-mubarakh

2009-08-23T17:06:00.000-07:00

Plse note that this was written 3 days before ramadhan:

Ramadhan is nearer. I Hope I’m going to do better this year. Frankly, my amalan will be more better when I’m pregnant because the thought of a baby in my worm will be lots more comfortable by listening to quran recites. The momentum is already there from the beginning. Currently, I read quran 1 page daily and skip that whenever iman or athirah need something from me. Excuses!! Excuses!!

Aren’t these supposed to be like a test to my iman/amalan? Other people face lots more bigger test than this. Like people in Palestine, mother lost her children/husband or people had an accident. How to solve this? Hey I know….. I should be pregnant every time the Ramadan comes in. hehehehe..

Hopefully, our Ramadan journey will be better this year. InsyaAllah.
Here’s my list:

1. I read quran everyday, to qhatam by the end of ramadhan.
2. Do tarawikh/ Tahajud
3. Calming. ^_^

Amin
Happy Ramadhan everyone. Forgive me for all the mistake I made. May this al-mubarakh be one we benefit fully from and give us a great increase in Iman (faith).

Pink??

2009-06-06T16:00:00.000-07:00

I want to change my layout.. I dont want pink anymore. Its too strinking. :D.hm what colour should it be. ? hm by the way, actually i just want to share my athirah's bedroom. I did this with my hubby at ... hm can see the clock on the wall? you like it..? I think it cute and pink!! haha pink again.... but Athirah still wants to sleep with us. Pack on our queen bed. and end up hubby sleeping on the floor (with toto)... kesian :D .... but now we have a brand new toto from Kelantan. so its quite comfy when double it.

Happy 3rd birthday Izzah Athirah.

2009-06-02T19:39:00.000-07:00

It was celebrated twice . First, on the birthday itself and another one is on the weekend which we invited some of our close friends and family. It was just a small party but enough to make our little darling happy.

On her birthday itself, hubby bought a small chocolate cheesecake from the nearest shop. I forgot the shop name but the owner was the chef of hilton hotel. (entahkan benar?? ) . Hubby managed to arrive earlier than us (which he usually doesn't) . So, I went in and put the candle on and hide behind the wall while ayah & athirah was having a great time playing the football outside. so what happened was Ayah kickn' the ball to the livn' hall and Athirah went in to pickup. Immediately, I went out with the cake on my hand (with the candle on). It was dark because its already maghrib. so the moment was there lah :D... We sang happy birthday to her. ...She was jumping up and down and repeatedly said " atiyah nye birthday ke.. for me?? " hehhehe.. She looks so happy and bundle with joy. It was a happy moment for us too. Her expression was priceless. It was a little suprise yet the happiness was all over it.

and we had another celebration over the weekend. I managed to cook few meals like meehon goreng spore, sausage roll, some jellies and chicken nuggests. jadilah kan.. :D. lain kali I will organize besar2an punye... that night was AF finale so everybody was rushing back home. :D. unfortunately , it was a bad performance from Hafiz. sian la peminat2 die termasuk makngah n auntie amy ye.. :D tula sape suh balik awal. layan athirah lagi best.. By the way, Thanks for the pressie ya everyone!!

My little girl has already grown up.. so fast :(. I love you sayang. I hope that you'll be good daughter & a wonderful muslimah. InsyaAllah.

PB : kamu yang berbaju biru dan sangat jelita tu.. sila bangun. Hm sila kasi sebab kenapa kamu malas update blog kamu.

Saya: … saya baru deliver baby, baby saya nak makan, minum susu, sibuk masak, kemas rumah rumah baru, computer tak canggih, internet tiada di rumah baru saya, kerja banyak di office…. (dan seterusnya……. alasan pun diberikan)

Iman Rayhannah binti Norman Hafiz
Lambat betul update blog dan lambat sangat2 buat introduction walaupun sebenarnya duduk d rumah je. :)... Alhamdulillah pada 19.1.2009, kami telah menerima kehadiran seorang lagi cahaya mata perempuan yang beratnye 3.75kg di hospital Annur Bangi. Actual EDD: 12.1.2009, dah overdue seminggu. Ibunya sangat-sangatlah takut sebab baby dah estimate memang besar. Bukan apa, Kak long Athirah dulu pun 3.5kg dan memang experienced kesukaran waktu push.. Contraction I can handle (During that time lah). The situation are different with this one. Mana taknya, kali ini went through so call natural delivery with no drip and gas. Epidural memang kami tak plan nak ambil. I thought I can handled the pain and clearly I was wrong. :( . But I still think that If at least they gave me drip and the contraction wont be too long. On that time, I did say to my hubby that I dont think I want to pregnant again eventhough we did planned to have 4-6 childrenn before. Ntahlah, waktu tu macam-macam I cakap. I just cant handle the pain anymore. During the delivery, I asked Dr Khamsiah to vacum. Tu lah die, mummy dah negative susah la sikit kan. Hopefully, as the time passby I wont remember the pain. But, seriously... I will choose Ampang Puteri for the 3rd lah. At least, ada gas n drip. Epidural kat Ampang Putri mahal.... nampaknye hubby kene la readykan duitnye nanti... Eh Eh..... alamak, ade yang 3rd nih :P.

Oklah enough said.. Alhamdulillah, hari nih Iman dah pun berusia 3 minggu.. lambat betul masa berlalu. I cant wait for my confinement period to over. See!! I'm having a problem staying home.... :). Apelah mummy nih...by the way, Tak sempat nak buat introduction eventhough I already did that in facebook :). Introducing Iman Rayhannah binti Norman Hafiz. Kami semua panggil die Iman. Tapi rasa-rasa kawan die nanti mesti panggil die Ray kan? ha ha... Rayhannah maksud nye harum/wangi.. iman direct translation la kan. So nye bile di combinekan jadilah keharuman iman. Mudah2an Iman nya akan sentiasa harum mewangi mewarnai dan menghiasi peribadimu ya sayang :) Amin... :) Alhamdulilah, iman sihat.... asik tidur menyiarap. sekarang ni pun Ibu menaip kat sebelah Iman yang sedang tidur... nyenyaknyee die.. kejap lagi ibu join ek. Ayah & Kak Long Athirah tatau lah buat ape kat bawah tu. main computer kot.. tak pun tengok TV.

Oklah ibu dah geram , ibu nak tidur jugak.... nakkkkkkk.. taaa....ZZzzzZzzzz,,

How do you show love for your child?

2008-12-17T01:25:00.000-08:00

Interesting article from the web. I'm not sure the link but I really think that it will benefits you. InsyAllah.

As a parent, you no doubt can come up with plenty of answers on your own. You make a special lunch, read a favorite bedtime story, take off work when your child is sick and so on.

Take a minute to see how your answers match up with the list below of American Academy of Pediatrics' top 10 ways to show love for a child.

Remember, happiness is key to a child's health.

Before your child is born, don't take drugs and alcohol and don't smoke tobacco. * so far Alhamdulillah
Set aside time for reading to your children, even as babies. They love the sound of your voice, and children of all ages benefit from a love of reading. * I do this almost everyday
Talk with your pediatrician to make sure your child's health records are up-to-date and all vaccinations are done. Keep a copy of health records at home. * I hope I have it but so far , we keep track on the compulsory vaccinations.
Check your home for possible dangers and remove them. Be sure medicines, cleaning supplies, sharp objects and other potential hazards are locked up and out of reach. Keep small objects away from children 3 years old and younger to prevent choking. Ask local officials if your home or water supply should be tested for lead. * We do this as and when we realise it as danger.
Provide safe transportation. Put infants and children younger than 12 in the back seat of the car, not the front seat, particularly if there is an air bag. Be sure your child's safety seat is installed properly and that it is appropriate for height and weight. Insist that your child buckles up just like you. * Its very hard to do this but we are trying .. really
Observe carefully and ask questions of your child's caregivers to be sure the care setting is safe (including transportation), healthy and developmentally appropriate. Make a note to get involved in community efforts promoting child safety. * Ok
Use plenty of positive words. Encourage your child with phrases such as "You can do it!" and "You're such a big boy!" Nurture self-esteem and self-confidence by praising a job well-done and show interest in what your child is saying. * Always
Each day, renew your efforts to monitor your child's activities and provide structure to the day. Limit the kind and amount of television your child watches. Have meals at predictable times, and insist on a regular bedtime and homework time. To help your child learn to respect the body, set aside time to join your child in a physical activity and offset gifts of candy with healthy treats. * we are trying our best, we are not perfect really. right now, we are trying to bring her to playground every evening when whether permit of course .
Make an extra effort to set a good example at home and in public with words like "I'm sorry," "please," and "thank you." When you become frustrated and angry with your child, avoid name-calling or hurtful words. Avoid unwanted tension by giving young children as much extra time as you can for transitions. * we do this ,alhamdulilah. tapi kadang2 lupa jugak :)
Give your child a hug. Or a cuddle, pat or whatever gesture of affection your child favors. Try this when your child is angry, argumentative or in a bad mood. And don't forget to say, "I love you. * masa dia tengah marah belum pernah buat lagi la.. he he. x layan lagi ade.. he he.. we do this as and when lah ...

Aidiladha 2008

2008-12-04T19:57:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah, today's friday. tomorrow, will be saturday and yeayy.. its mean another weekend :). I love weekend. By the way, who doesnt? ...... *sigh

and InsyaAllah, we'll meet another Aidiladha on Monday. Kami telah merancang untuk berhari raya di rumah mertua kali ini. Kalau ikut turutan sepatutnya, tahun ini aidiladha di rumah saya. Tapi memandangkan parents in law kedua-duanya mengerjakan haji dan teringatkan pesanan FIL untuk tengok2 kan rumah & adik2 rasa guilty pula kalau tak balik. So, InsyaAllah. kalau tiada aral, kami akan beraya di Ijok. huhu. Walaupun hati nak balik ke Lubok China memandangkan ada event besar di kg belah saya iaitu FAMILY DAY.. Lalala.. It will be happening and it's an event that my makcik2 together with my mother cook, some show from the kids, makan2 (e.g ikan bakar etc etc) and lain-lain lagi. tapelah, tengok gambar pun jadi lah :P.

Now, I'm on my 34 weeks. another 6 weeks more to go to complete my 40 weeks cycle. If this 2nd baby follow Kak Long athirah, Then Im going to have to wait until the cycle complete lah .: ) Whatever it is, I pray and hope every turns out ok. Hopefully, no pain or complication that I cant handle. Pray for me ya, Amin..

Kita Pilih bos ke? Bos pilih kita...

2008-11-23T22:06:00.000-08:00

It starts when a friend of mine suddenly stresses at the office today. Out of nowhere , she informed me that she wants to change unit. I wonder why but after a few ‘ korek session’, I finally know that It was because she was stressed with her bos.

Sound familiar?. Actually, It happens everywhere in any organization. Sometimes, we get a good one and sometimes we get a bad one. There is a cases where the bos doesn’t know how to the work but keep on giving order without any guide and expect the job to be tip top. And funny part, even they don’t know what kind the standard they want until they get the feedback from the higher bosses saying that the job was not up to their expectation. At the end of the day, they will finger point it back to their staff who do their dirty job and put all the blame on her/him. When that job get a good remarks, they are the one who get all the recognition and none of it being passes to the staff. Kesian .. he he

I know not all bosses like that because I meet some bosses who do have certain criteria that make them a good bos. I hope I can be like them one day. InsyaAllah. (^_^). We cant get lucky everytime right? and I believe what we can do now is we need to do the task given at our very best level and do it Lillahi Taala so that it can be ibadah for us. The rest, left it to Allah to decide. and heyyy.. do learn along your way to the top :)

p/s: In my office, ada bos yang tak pernah tahu pun apa kerja dia. tapi dia dapat naik sebab die good in PR. yang teruk staff lah. tapi yang rugi organisasi tu sendiri. but, when it comes to 'moderation/performance evaluation' siapa-siapa yang pernah menunjukkan rasa tak puas hati memang confirm dapat performance teruk (dah masuk dalam blacklist die). Imagine, customer hantar email pada die , suruh staff yang jawab .. dan main forward je pada customer without baca. hish senang betul kerja die. lagi best, boleh tidur masa meeting dengan customer.. waa. malunya..

[ hehe. tapi bukan bos saya.. bos kawan saya.. :) ]

A great trip to Bali

2008-07-02T02:53:00.000-07:00

Day 1

Last Friday until Monday, we (me, my other half and my cute little darling Athirah) went to Bali. It was a sweet, sour, nice and sometimes a bit tiring 4 days, 3 nights trip. Most of my friends that knew about my trip kept teasing me saying it was a honeymoon. But, for me it was more like a run away from a day-to-day activity and spends more quality time with my love ones. I think it was a honeymoon for our darlin’ Athirah since she had a straight full 4 days with her parents entertaining her wishes and commands (and of course sometimes we did ignore her requests. ^_^.).

Friday morning, my officemate sent us to ERL Putrajaya. (Thanks! You know who you are). It was the first experience for Athirah with the train. She did actually called ERL train as lorry as it moves so fast and doesn’t have a sound like Blue Thomas. “tutttt tuttttt”. He he. We did try to correct her but she keep on saying lorry.. lorry… loryy… “_”

Arriving at KLIA, we took a bus to LCCT and catch our Airasia flight to Ngurah Rai, Bali. We reached there around 1.30 noon and we went straight to Ramayana Hotel, Kuta. We were so tired and had our rest. The hotel was nice. I believe it was 5-6 stars hotel. The only minus point (I would say) here is they had too much of this ‘patung’ even in our room. Well, what do you expect? It’s Bali and the hotel name explained everything!. Athirah kept saying bye-bye to all the ‘patung’ whenever we went out.

Evening in Kuta, Bali was quite nice and happening. It was more or less like Patong (in Phuket) but for me, it’s better here. Maybe the condition is different at Legian beach (they said worst, in terms of the social level there) which we didn’t manage to reach as we don’t have enough time to go there. We strolled along Kuta beach until we reach Hard Rock hotel and took some pictures. The beach was clean and apparently, the government made some campaign for all local people to take care of the cleanliness of the city. It was a good effort I must say. It was really clean. There were 2 rubbish bins provided at each of the pit stop labeled as organic and non-organic. Nice huh?

At night, we had our dinner at “Rumah Bandung” somewhere in Kuta town. Our tour guide brought us there. We were so hungry and the food was marvelous -the kind of food that we could falled into easily. Crispy garupa(kerapu), nice sambal, pecal, and some soup. The place was nice too! Back to hotel, we perform our prayer and slept.

Day 2

After we had our breakfast at the hotel, we’re ready for our tour. The tour cost us RP 500,000 (around RM 180). We went to batik house, silver shop, lunch at Kintamani, padi-terrace in Tegallalang, some other shops, Ubud, Tanah Lot and finally to Djimbaran (for dinner). It was a wonderful experience especially at Kintamani where we’re able to see the volcanic mountain (Mt Batur). The view was amazing and the weather was chilly (kinda like Cameron Highland). We had our lunch and enjoyed the perfect view of the mountain. Tanah Lot is also one of the best places to visit for its breathtaking view. Alhamdulillah. It was sunset. I’ll let the picture do the talking. ^_^ And finally we had our dinner at Jimbaran. It was a nice dinner but a bit pricey!! … It cost us another RP 521,000. (for 4 persons). Untuk mat salleh tu murah kot.. siap order lobster bagai.. hehe.. we ordered 1kg of prawn, 1kg of cuttlefish and ikan merah bakar.

Day 3

Morning: My hubby went for foot massage somewhere around Kuta town. I just waited for him in the hotel room with Athirah. Around 12 noon, we went to Denpasar for shopping. It cost us RP 50,000 for the taxi. We shopped for some kain sarung, kebaya sulam, telekung for our mums. It’s very cheap. I can get Telekung sutera for RM 70. murah kan?? We performed zohor and asar prayer (jamak) at a Masjid at Denpasar. We had our lunch at a small restaurant nearby and it cost us RP 21,000 (RM 8) for the 3 of us. Uishh lagi la murah?!!! . But of course the cleanliness was questionable. Sebab da lapa sangat, baca bismillah dan tawakkal je lah. ^_^. We went back to our hotel. I had my body massage hrs after that and we had our dinner at Mc’d :D

Day 4

After looking into our souvenirs and all the items that we’ve bought earlier, we decided to go back to Denpasar to buy more souvenirs. After we had our breakfast, we headed to Denpasar at 10 am. We bought more souvenirs and headed back to the hotel afterwards. On the way back, we had a bad experience with the taxi. We were dropped just outside Kuta town border. According to the driver, he’s not able to enter the city due to problems with the law etc. The bad side is that we’ve already paid the fees in full. On the way, he asked us to pay upfront by stopping at the gas station to fill-in his tank. Luckily, another taxi came by and we were able to get back to the hotel. Here, we wasted RP 10,000 (RM 3.50) but anyway this is some experience. We checked out at 12 noon and headed to the airport. We touch down at Malaysia around 5.30 pm and arrived safely at home at 6.30 pm. Alhamdulillah. All happy and healthy. Thanks Abang for this amazing trip. I really recommend Bali to others !! Pegi la.. best best.. kalau ada peluang memang nak pegi lagi… tapi rugi la kan. Baik pegi tempat lain. Tapi kalau free. Tentu saja saya mahu pergi lagi…:D

At night we went to Pasar malam to buy our dinner. We left Athirah at her cousin house so that she can play. When headed to pasar malam, my hubby said.. “ baru la berpeluang jalan berdua… setelah 4 hari berlalu… “ hahahhaha.. ape nak buat.. :D.. …Lain kali pegi, bawa assistant la. Baru ada peluang jalan dua org kan. :D

Celebration of Love :-*

2008-06-20T19:12:00.000-07:00

Last week, on 18th June 2008 was our 3rd anniversary as husband and wife. No special celebration was made but we had our lunch together at our favorite Chinese food restaurant Dong Yi Shun , Summit. Remind us on our trip to Shanghai, China last year. It was the same restaurant but certain food was not sold here.

Other than that, my hubby got himself a brand new guitar and a joystick for his PS2 crave of guitar hero III. It is not a real guitar, It’s a guitar that can be played with this game only. Actually, I was not expected him to buy them but I can understand why he did that. A day before, he had shown me a clip on ‘youtube’ which a 5 years old kid played that game with perfect score on expert level (100%). That kid used that guitar. Now my hubby keep on practicing and hopefully one day he can make it. he he..

Whatever it is, you still can't beat that kid lah abang. Or course. He he.. age problem. ^_^ but I know that won't stop you. I know you want to teach our daughter to play this game so that the record can be broken eventually.

No matter what it is,

Happy Anniversary to My Dear. Thanks for being such a wonderful husband for me. I know I’m not perfect but I promise to continue improving myself to be a perfect companion for you. I love you very much. May Allah bless our family forever. Amin

Kungfu Panda

2008-06-13T23:58:00.000-07:00

Pada hari khamis yang lepas, aku dan suami dah berjaya membawa our little darling Athirah tengok wayang. Cerita apa lagi kalau bukan cerita KUNGFU PANDA.. watchaaaa… wah. Memang seronok. Apa yang seronok? Cerita tu lah. Athirah pun seronok. Actually hubby bought ticket yang twin seat (belakang sekali tepi). Ianya sebagai contingency plan kalau tiba-tiba our athirah buat perangai. Sempat lah melarikan diri tanpa menggangu crowd yang ramai. Note that this is her first cinema movie. At her age of 2 yrs old. What an achievement !!! ^_^. Sebelum nih masa Athirah 1 ½ years, kami pernah bawa Athirah watch Elephant show di Fantasia, Phuket. She was very well behaved. Tu yang agak confident nak bawa ke cinema kali ini and it turns out great. Lepas nih boleh tengok cerita lain lagi lah. Tak perlu lah ibu dan ayah sampai perlu ambil cuti semata2 nak tengok wayang (sebab kena tinggal kan Athirah di rumah baby sitter). Tapi of course apply untuk certain movie only. Yelah, kalau cerita love story ke mahu mengamuk cik adik kite nih. Kan. Tapi kalau cerita action plak, ibu die la mengamuk.. haha tu yang Ayah die kene tengok sorang2 je lah.

Masa dalam cinema, Athirah duduk tengah-tengah. In middle between ibu and ayah. She can only seat on the chair for 1 hr. and the rest. She stand and walk around. She did scream a few times but since the movie was super-dupper funny, the crowd were also laugh. So its turn out nobody bother about her voices.

In conclusion, kita boleh pegi sama2 lagi ye sayang..

Update!!... Update!!

2008-06-11T20:39:00.000-07:00

It’s been quite sometime since my last update. Yesterday, Mun a.k.a my beloved sister who live in the planet far-far away from home has been asking me to update my blog and I already gave her my words. Now, here I am. Blogging while pondering what will be the best content to share here.

My pregnancy now already reaches to 2 months and 10 days (+/-). Alhamdulillah. I can see the heartbeat even its quite blurry. It’s still too small. Maybe we can see a clear picture next month. InsyaAllah and again Maybe I can share it here. I went to clinic for check up with my office mate (Erin) during lunch. It was my first time that I went for check up without my other half. Well, Actually I didn’t feel weird at all. It is just a simple check up.

Athirah now already learned a few english words. Able to make a few sentences like

“ Ibu, What is that?

“ Where is Ayah?”

And even when I asked her… “What is that Athirah?” and she said “ The Moon”.

I remember the 1^st sentence contains 4 words that she made in Malay which amazed me.

“ Ibu, Ayah pegi keje. J “ .

She can now sing a few nursery rhymes with words here and there and sometime the only thing I can hear is the humming sounds. ^_^. Amongs her favourite nursery rhymes are “Baa baa black ship , twinkle-twinkle, rain rain go away and E-yaE-ya-O”. She can sing ABC songs until Z (only half complete with missing alphabet in the middle). She can recognizes white, yellow, blue and sometime pink.

I know some other kids can do even better on her age. but I’ts ok. Kite belajar relax2 saje kan sayang .

Here, a picture that we snapped during her 2nd birthday

. It is not really a party. We just bought a cake and brought them a night before Ayu’s wedding. She so excited with birthday cake. She keep on singing birthday song along the way to Ayu’s house at Seremban.

Some pic during Ayu's wedding

We plan to watch Kungfu Panda with her today. That will be her 1^st time wayang experience. I’m not sure how she would re-act but I’ll share with you guys later (kalau rajin). Dah la start at 10.10 pm.. huuuish.

As for me… I’ve been busy with my job lately. Too many requests that need to be entertained especially from the bosses. Even though it is not really related to my job but they are the top-top bosses that I cant say NO to. Just buat je lah .. LilllahiTaala…

My other half has been too obsesses with his camera and photography thingy. That’s not all, he now got into a new hobby which is playing game of guitar hero. It’s PS2.thingy. I'm just glad he found something that he likes. Actually, I can’t really complain because he still helps me to do chores and take care of our Athirah. What more can I ask for? Therefore, Up to you lah abang.. . Jgn sampai hobi yang membawa kepada membeli benda yang bukan2 dah lah.

Ha mun, cukup lah dulu ye? Later akak sambung lagi. Luv you and take care.

Saya jadi ajk hari keluarga untuk division saya. banyak juga perkara yang perlu diselesaikan. dengan kerja-kerja rutin. tadi je dah spend seharian beli hadiah. cuma dah mention awal-awal next week tanak keluar pegi mana-mana. maklumlah ada exam day next week. tapi ingat nak ambil cuti sehari awal. So, sempat nak mentelaah pelajaran sikit. chewaaah. dah lama sangat tak study. tak ambil xm. mestilah susah jugak nak adjust awal-awal dulu. skrang dah ok sket. dah abes satu capture rasa dah ok sikit.

Mendua - Hampir Ke Situ

2008-04-16T09:43:00.000-07:00

Liriknya terlalu indah... lalu menyedarkan aku untuk terus berusaha dalam menggapai apa jua yang aku impikan.. Of course, it's never easy. but it never hurt to try isn't. buuut hey..hm, what do I want? :-)Guys..what do you want in your life? what is your dream?.. Aku rasa aku sendiri masih lagi tercari-cari tentang apakah yang aku mahu dalam hidup ini. Mungkin ....kerana terlalu berserah pada arus dan pasrah. Padahal aku rasa dulu aku seorang yang bercita-cita tinggi. Tapi, terlalu banyak gangguan-halangan-dugaan yang melanda dalam setiap perjalanan hidupku. sehingga aku seolah-olah melupakan tentang cita-cita dan impian. Sehingga aku kini tidak dapat memikirkan walau satu pun.... atau Mungkin tidak punya satu pun? . sedih kan.... lets think about it dear friends. But anyway, Thanks for mendua who sing it beautifully and to the song and lyrics writer.. you guys made a great song...superb.... At least I think they do.

aku sadar bukan mudah
untuk mengejar mimpi indah
pernah suatu ketika dulu ku punya
harapan besar
kini aku tak pasti
dapatkah ku miliki

sudah jauh kita temu
kekalkanlah impian lalu
mungkin ada hikmah yg akan menunggu di penghujung jalan
biar nanti kecewa
setidak-tidaknya cuba

korus
jika halangan menduga
perjalanan kita
janganlah kau putus asa
kerna ku ada di sisi
setia menemani
andai semangat mu gugur
genggamlah tanganku
kita hampir ke situ

adakala ku terasa
ketabahan tak setegah
tetapi apakan andainya
berhenti separuh jalan
percayalah padaku
aku yakin kita mampu

biar orang katakan
rapuhnya harapan
bukan mereka tentukan tapi
kau atau aku
tandaku punya kamu
apa telah akhirnya
tetap bersama
