Ramadhan leaving us...



hey kawan-kawans...
pe kabar?
ada baik?
ada sihat?
i'm fine Alhamdulillah... kocek je sakit teramat sangat... ouch... hahaha...!!

anyway, it's the last week of Ramadhan... i feel that time is really zooming at an alarming rate... i felt that it was only yesterday that we started fasting and it's nearing the end already... and it's sadder for me that I cannot fast in these last days of Ramadhan... time ni orang berebut-rebut nak kejar amalan malam, and here I am, with a 'good-friend' visiting... haish... but InshaAllah, I hope Im still able to kejar the last 3 days...

With the masjid still not up, Tarawih is still done at home. Alhamdulillah for a daddy who knows how to lead his wife and children in a solat jama'ah... If not for the frequent reminders by daddy for us to do Isha' and tarawih together, I think I will be a lazy bum. And it's not good to be a lazy bum in this blessed month... Like a saying I heard, "Ramadhan is the month where you can see what type of person you are and can be without the whispers of Shaitan." And if I'm still a lazy bum in Ramadhan, that means I've always been a lazy bum and I can't blame Shaitan for whispering sweet nothings to me in other months.

So how's Eid preparations? I'm quite done actually. Done half of the shopping in JB this year. The house is looking like a junkyard at the moment because of all the new things we have bought. And the cookies, oh goodness, I really have got no space for that. The kitchen cabinet is screaming for help already I think.

The only thing I havent' done is the zakat for the little kiddos. Need mum's help to queue in the bank to get small notes. And I havent' finished clearing my room. And my pc has gone kaput, like finally. After several times dying and being brought back to life, it finally breathes its last. So goodbye dear PC, you were a darling while you were alive.

Alhamdulillah, this year, I feel really blessed coz while I can cry over some lost moments, Allah has replaced the moments with better ones. So, why do I need to cry? Allah takes away some things in life, only to replace 'em with better things. So say Alhamdulillah.

I'll stop for now. I will write again nearing Eid to wish you all officially. Hehehe... In the meantime, grab the chance to tune up our deeds in these last few days of Ramadhan. Coz we'll never know whether we'll meet Ramadhan again next year.

Till my next write, Ilal Liqaa'...!

menjelang pertengahan ramadhan blog...

salam friends!!

long time no see hor... bz bz... and no mood to blog too... hahaha...! but no worries, im back! *round of applause*

how have you been? good? how has Ramadhan been for you? Alhamdulillah, it has been good to me. my resolution this Ramadhan is not to miss terawih purposely... so far, Alhamdulillah, i have been keeping at it. i hope i continue with it. you knowlah, kadang2 when nak dekat2 raya, keje makin byk, makin penat, and makin tak terlarat nak terawih. hik hik hik. but it's all in the mind lah. antara nak dengan tak nak je. Bulan Ramadhan ni, katanya syaitan dan djin kene ikat. tapi setan kat dlm badan ni yang tak terikat. alah, tak paham jugak? nafsu lah. malas, penat, alasan2 ni sumer nafsu kita lah. nafsu tu adik bradik syaitan lah kan....

i wont deny saying that i wasnt tested in the course of fulfilling my duties in Ramadhan. yes, i was tested, BIG TIME. my mind was so messed up in the 1st few days of Ramadhan. i may look cheerful all the time, but in me, only I know what was going on. but i know, Allah test us to wash us off our sins. and nothing is too hard on us, coz no soul is tested beyond his/her capability. but Alhamdulillah, I'm surrounded by a lot of friends and family members. They were the ones who gave me the strength to go on and remind me of Allah's greatness. slowly but surely, my problems were settled, Alhamdulillah. Thank You, Allah. and thank you, friends.

persiapan menyambut Syawal amacamz? mine was quite hectic. i had a lot of things to settle before really starting my syawal preparations. mostly for the car lah - car insurance, road tax renewal and car inspection. and all these involves lots of $$$ flying away mwahahahaha...!!! but anyways, i've settled that. so, Alhamdulillah.

i managed to get my 1st day baju raya from OVA. i love my baju actually. lain dari yang lain lah. almaklum, aku manalah berkenan baju kurung/baju kebaya. mum had to custom-make hers, and again, alhamdulillah, they still take special order from me even though they have actually closed orders. and my baju had to be altered coz it's a little singkat. almaklum, kaki panjang sgt mwahahahaha...!!! so i'll get both my and mum's bajus on next Friday.

the raya mood hasnt really settled in me yet. as you know, i dont dengar radio. but time nak dekat raya, i usually turn on the radio to catch the raya songs. but that too hasnt sunk in. i havent got the mood to catch on raya songs even. maybe dah tua lah kan...

and one more mission of mine this Ramadhan is not to spend to much on things for Syawal. satu bulan kita melawan nafsu, wasted kan kalao membazir tak tentu arah, just to celebrate raya. orang kata raya setawon skali. but i say RAMADHAN tu setawon skalik. Allah bagik kita satu bulan untuk beribadah lebih. takkan lepas Ramadhan je nak kurangkan pulak ibadah kan? jangan kata lepas Ramadhan, even in the month itself, we are still very weak in spirit to fight off temptations. May Allah keep us in the best of Iman always InsyaAllah.

ok lah folks. i've got to go. will talk more when i get the mood yet again. hahahaha...!!

see ya all!
ilal liqaa'...!!

Ramadhan Al Mubarak...




andai semua HARTA adalah RACUN, maka ZAKATlah PENAWARnya.
Jika seumur hidup adalah DOSA, maka TAQWA dan TAUBATlah UBATnya.
Jika seluruh bulan adalah NODA, maka RAMADHANlah PEMUTIHnya.

Ramadhan Al Mubarak, my dear friends and family. May you have a blessed Ramadhan.
Inshallah, Ameen...
