SMILE BIG BIG....

*dropfaints*

Lucky thing this woman is married with a kid...

But they look good together...

Tak lah, tak jeles...

Hehehehe...!!

sabbatical is over... for now...

hey darlings...! i'm back... been away for quite long, aye? miss me? yeah, i think i miss myself... donch care, you wanna call me full of myself, your call... i don't care a hag...

ok lah, joking lah... i still love you all... and i still love me... and i am still my favorite... hehehe...!! anyway, how's things...? all nice and dandy? if yes, Alhamdulillah... if no, InshaAllah... remember, tests are given to us coz Allah loves us... He knows we can overcome it. The catch is, tests are for us to be closer to Allah, not to be further away than Allah... Orite darlings?

the past few months have been full of ups and only a handful of downs for me... the downs, aiyah, no need to talk lah... let them pass away peacefully... ingat2 pun tak guna... buat sakit otak, sakit hati je... kan? kan? kan? i'm just looking forward to the ups... actually i'm MAHA excited about the ups... i can't believe it's finally happening... And i say my thanks to Allah for the wonderful blessings... May all goes well till the time it's gonna happen, InshaAllah... I'm practically counting the months... It's NEARING!!! *excited mode on*

i just finished my Modern Standard Arabic Level 7 exam this noon. Paper was so-so lah... If studied more, will score more... But I did my best, InshaAllah, will pass... Touchwood, if I don't, I hope I won't stop... I'm left with Level 8 then Level 9 then O Levels... And who knows, I might wanna continue to Diploma... Ada ke Diploma in Arabic Studies? Got such thing meh?

Money matters is a bit tied this time round. Puasa, Raya and car matters goes around in the same month... You know lah, renewing the road tax, the insurance and all that jizz... No, I'm not complaining... InshaAllah, can tide through... But it's just the thought of doing everything in the same month that is bothering me... 

Alhamdulillah, my Baby has been very good to me. 4 years with it has been blissful, no major problems... Dad has been hinting for me to try getting a new, bigger baby... But you know lah, the 1st Baby is always the one with the most sentimental attachment. I can't think of the day I will separate from my Baby. I think I will cry my eyeballs out. *thinking of it makes me wanna cry already*

And, oh, forget to mention, Alhamdulillah, sejak dah pandai masuk JB sendiri without escort cars, (usually I need my uncles to follow me around), I think I will do my Raya shopping in JB this year... Mana yang boleh save, kita save lah kan?

And then the 'big' thing in October, InshaAllah... For that, I wanna be a little spendthrift... Bukan slalu dapat shopping gitu macam!! Hehehehe...!!

Apalagik? Hmmm... Oh, I wanna complete my novel which I started not too long ago... I hope I can finish it... This time round, the treatment of the whole novel is a bit more Islamic... Almaklum, dah makin 'muda' ni kan, buatlah cerite yang sesuai ngan umur. Hehehe...!!

And NETBALL. I so wanna start netball again. Mum gave me a good idea the other day. I think I would propose it to the relevant parties after Hari Raya. Mana tau, idea bernas Mum can work out...? *smiling gleefully*

Ok lah, I think this is about it. I will write again when I have the time and got something to talk about. Till then, I will miss you all...

Ilal Liqaa'...!!

The "M" Story

This is going to be long. But anyways...

The whole family was gathered in the house yesterday. And the huge topic being talked about was the big 'M'... Yes, Marriage. *dropfaints*

I confess. I have been avoiding the subject all these while. In fact, I totally found it useless to talk about  previously. I don't know. Maybe I wasn't emotionally ready for it. Maybe I was sceptical that no one, or man for that matter, will be able to take care of me the way my parents have took care of me. Maybe, it wasn't written in my destiny yet. Or my time was just not right. And above all, maybe Allah didn't want me to get married just yet.

And then, there's also the "eldest daughter is like the eldest son" syndrome. I saw my grandma falling ill. I saw how difficult it is for my dad and his brothers to pool in the money to tide over my grandma's illness. And then, I reflected on my family. My parents has got no son. If I get married, who will take care of them? Will my husband be supportive enuff to let me take care of my parents? Coz only I know how they have sacrified everthing they had to make me look what I am today. I wasn't born with a pretty-moulded face ok?

Then I grew older and a little tad wiser. I know all these will be arranged. Allah has arranged everything. Everything's gonna be fine. And then, my expectations of a husband grew higher. Not only am I looking for a man who could take care of me, but I needed someone who would be the calming factor in my life. We know what and who I am. Stubborn, bull-headed, live my own way kind of a person. Is there ever going to be someone out there who will be able to hold me by my horns and tame me? Someone who would be my Matador? Million dollar question.

So the family chat we had... Everyone had a gala time telling or rather, pointing out my flaws and weaknesses and what not to do when that 'someone' finally appears. I admit, I'm not an angel. 33 years of living my own way of life and being an independent-do all by myself person, I ought to be entitled to a little bad traits, yes? Hehe!!

I know I'm not perfect. I don't cook much. I don't clean much. And I hate talking on the phone for long lovey-dovey conversations. I hate flowers. I hate doing the same things all over again. Yeah, that's me. The perfect unperfect candidate for an instituition named 'Marriage'...

So now, something big is approaching. And I'm not going to beat about the bush, and I confess, I'm ready. To face it, to walk it, to do it. I'm ready to be bent and to be calmed down. I'm ready for someone to eyeball me when I do something wrong. And above all, I'm ready to bring in another person to walk my life. I'm ready.

It's going to be a tough journey, no doubt. I have lots of tweaking to do. A lot of trial and error. A lot of "keep my mouth shut to listen to other people's opionions" sessions. It is going to be a helluva 'test my patience, or the lack of it' journey. But yes, I'm ready to walk it. And smell the roses and get pricked by the torns along the way.

And no friends, I'm not yet getting married. But when the time comes, yes, I will shout over the rooftops and say that finally I'm getting married. But yes, the journey from now till marriage will be a tough one but I send du'a that whatever I do, I will make everyone happy and that no one will be displeased with me and that everything runs as smoothly as butter over bread. InshaAllah.

So in the meantime, make du'a for me my friends. While I go waiting for the day my Matador finally shows up asking my parents, "Can I ask for your daughter's hand for marriage?" And then, me and my Matador can dance a Paso Doble towards the sun for a 'live happily ever after' ending... InshaAllah...

*winks*

Ilal Liqaa'...!!

Allah Knows Best

Allah knows what’s best for us, so why should we complain

We always want the sunshine, but He knows there must be rain

We always want the laughter, and the merriment of cheer

But our hearts will lose their tenderness, if we never shed a tear.

Allah tests us often, with suffering and with sorrow

He tests us not to punish us, but to help us meet tomorrow

For growing trees are strengthened, if they withstand the storm

And the sharp cut of the chisel, gave the marble grace and form

Allah tests us often and for every pain He gives to us

Provided we’re patient is followed by rich again

So whenever we feel that everything is going wrong
It is just Allah’s way to make our spirit’s strong.

Kisah si Makcik yang menghina Islam...

skrg ni tengah kecoh kan pasal si makcik sitt al-wuzara yang sedap hati dia je menghina Islam dengan gambar2 dia yang siap diADOBE PHOTOSHOPkan... ada page kat facebook lagik, dicategorykan sebagai public figure.

i was shocked and angry upon seeing the photos and the captions. nak baca pun segan, macam kita pulak yang memberi suara kepada captions dia tuh... i didnt have the heart to view all. i just went to the end of the page, and click on 'report this page'... i hope you people do the same...

We can get angry and comment all the swear words on her page. but no, don't do that. Just think of how Rasulullah PBUH would handle this if this happened during his time. Dia akan mengangkat tangan dan berdoa that this person be given hidayah and the chance to repent for all the wrongdoings she has done. Truthfully like my dear friend said, sapa kita untuk menghukum dia? Biarkan dia jawab soalan dia sendiri.

And I have a feeling, the more we kutuk her, the more she will retaliate and post up more biadap pictures. Astaghfirullahal azim... And I also have a tingling feeling that she's not even a makcik. Pandai betul makcik main photoshop. Aku sendiri tak pandai2 ngan photoshop. but maybe dia makcik modern lah. talent that goes to waste, ni lah dia...

If she's a Muslim: She must have had tests by Allah and upon not being able to handle them, got angry and with syaitan playing it's part, she becomes like this...

If she's a Kafir: She just wants to create anger among us Muslims. Kadang2, orang kafir ni lagik pandai dalam bidang agama Islam berbanding dengan orang Islam tu sendiri. Cuma dorang tak nak beriman je kepada Allah... They know dosa and pahala. They know how to ignite anger in us. And without knowing, in the quest to defend Allah and Rasul, we might fall into their trap while they succeed in getting the anger out of us. They will never want to stop trapping Muslims to do sins without knowing.

Or, she's just thirsty for cheap publicity or just wants to be famous the easy way. Nak senang kat dunia, hah jawablah kau kat akhirat nanti.

So we don't angry, just report the page. And sama2 kita doakan dia kembali ke pangkal jalan dan bertaubat sebelum terlambat.

Just my views... I may have used the wrong words and may not be the best writer... But I hope I got my points across. I apologize for any mistakes.

Shukran!

Ilal Liqaa'..!

musollah (prayer area) in Universal Studios Singapore

we can still have fun yet not forget our obligatory duties right?

right after you scan your barcode, take left to the Annual Passs section. small airconditioned room. with telekungs and sejadahs. but better to bring your own especially when the crowd gets big. no partition between male and female though, but i think that's no cause for complains. at least there's a musollah.

ablution can be taken at the nearest toilet on the right. there's a lower sink where you can easily take your ablution. selected cubicles in this toilet has water-sprays.

ilal liqaa...!
