Update... |
D,
One of the best Oscar's night! I think Chris Rock sent the message well about the Bush' administration. But if he didn't comment about Jude Law, I think it would have been a better show. Ah, but Sean Penn was there to save Jude...way to go, Mr Penn!!!! I was hoping Leo or Johnny to receive the award. I was hoping Andrew Lloyd Weber's song would win the award.
4 hours of Oscar didn't complete my ironing. So life goes on......

Male Mari..... |
D,
He came home on Friday morning, so unusual self. This trip was short but was very exhausting. Even his mom wondered why he didn't call her ASAP!!!!???!!!! Why? She thinks his wife tak kasi telepong ker aper.....?? Oh well. Tak kisah laa nyah. I hope, when my sons are all settled down, I'll let them lead their lives & let their wives have the major role supporting them overall.
Maldives is beautiful, in fact is more beautiful than Mauritius. It's fascinating, just by looking at the photos. The resort that he's staying in is one of the high end resorts there. So happened, Bush Senior & Clinton were staying at the same resort as well at the same time the S'pore delegates were there, but they didn't meet. They went to the area that was affected by the Tsunami disaster, to hold the official presentation of desalination of water for the Maldivians. Fortunately, they managed to squeeze some time for fun. Photos are not up yet. In case my fellow bloggers want to see the resort online, search for Kurumba, Maldives.
Saturday - All of us just needed our own space in the house to recuperate. It's been a long time since we lazed around doing nothing at home, surprisingly, it was good.
Sunday - Hectic. Time to tax daddy, they said. So it was breakfast at McD, classes, off to Plaza Singapura, lunch @ Pizza Hut Siglap. We made our way to ECP. He wanted some sports activities with the family, so all of us signed up for inline skating lessons. Yippee!!! I've been wanting to learn this properly, Alhamdulillah.
February is coming to an end. Dah buat wawasan baru. Gonna hit the gym regularly this week on. I've survived my 1st Personal Training session with Nelam last week. So much to do. But I'm lucky that he's supporting me morally, especially when it comes to food intake. I don't want to disappoint myself, must make my money worth!
Ah....the Oscar fever! Sambil tengok, sambil gosok baju laaa.....another form of exercise, jugak.
Today - A glass of plain water
A glass of Unique Diet drink
Heavy breakfast of baked beans with egg white omellette
Snacks (fruits), lots of water
Lunch of rice with 3 yolks plus more egg whites omellette
Lots of water
Gym
4pm a glass of Supreme Diet
Dinner, no carbohydarates at all at this time must eat 3 hrs before bedtime
Most important of all...1 bite of food = 20-30 chews...ni tol nyer exercise mulut!

Love your neighbours, love your friends |
D,
I'm so grateful. With the help of 2 neighbours from different blocks - 1 to send Hin to school, another one to shelter Id & Han for 1 hour, I got to meet AT & AZ. We celebrated AZ's belated birthday @ Swensen during lunch time. This is our 1st time meeting each other this year. My schedules are still in a havoc, so we don't get to meet as often as last year. It was a good reunion, keeping each other updated with our lives.
My neighbours aren't only friendly, they're very helpful. The very first time my neighbours from the same block & other blocks met was last year during tahlil. Instantly, we all could feel the ukhuwah. Some prepared food, one offered her plates & glasses to be used during tahlil, the menfolk offered carry jenazah, followed to the burial site, one willingly lead the bacaan tahlil. I realised, even though we all hardly meet, it's times as this that bring us closer. One neighbour came to me & said, "this is the 1st time that I get to meet other Malay families from your block & other blocks. it's a good thing, with this kind of gathering, we bond as a communitiy." I was surprised, too. I thought who would want to come to a tahlil on a weekend. The turnout was indeed overwhelming. I told Fidel that we're indeed very lucky to live here with very good neighbours & that we should never turn them away when it's their turn to call for help.
Just like our next door neighbours, 2 Chinese families, 1 Eurasian. We need not to look any further for any kind of assistance. And any festive season is always celebrated together with food - especially my Eurasian neighbour. Each year, they order food from caterers which has halal cert. I really appreciate these small gestures. I don't see us moving anywhere else. This is our home. Unless, if there are better job opportunities out of the country...? Hm, now here's a thought.
Back to friends, I miss the girls. We've not been keeping in touch. Caught up with JunG just the other day. As for the girls here in SG, gosh we've not been in touch at all! Yup.....I need to get hold of them.
I was lucky that I watched Oprah 1pm show yesterday. Although it wasn't the current show, I was in for a treat. She had Barry Manilow as her guest. Fooyoooo!!!!! I love his songs! I've been listening to him since I was 9 or 10 yrs old. Call me KUNO, I don't mind. And for today, he appeared on Ally McBeal!!! Yippee!!!! It's ok even if it was the rerun of which season. Buay tahan.....
It's a mriacle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you.

Finally, here they are.... |
D.
Finally I've loaded his photos of Mauritius. I've given up loading the photos in Fotopages, it took ages to do so. 1 has to sign in as a member(free of course), then she can see my albums. When it's done, go to my OFOTO on the left column & click.

Ikang oh Ikang.... |
D,
As planned, we went to Jurong Fish Port. The boys were excited, as usual, being able to go out in the wee hours. They actually were looking foward to the plan staying at cousin Ash's house to play PlayStation. We all agreed it's better than Senoko Fish Port as we can buy the fresh products individually. It's bigger & it opens earlier than Senoko. The only disadvantage is that we can't have prata session as we don't know any 24 hr food joint there. If we go Senoko, we'd stop by Jln Kayu.
Fidel & I stopped over at Aunt Ley's house for sahur of Nasi Lemak. The rest drove home. The boys followed Ash home, too. I dozed off a few times while he was driving - yeah, blame it on Anugerah Planet Muzik.....what a disappointment. I feel the hosts were trying to out do each other. Their presentations were so over...too childish & it ain't funny anymore. I feel that Apek who sang the 12 nominated songs saved the grand show. Of course, not forgetting "TofiK BatisaH"...oo man!!! His rendition of Bukan Kerna Nama was simply superb!!! Ah, yes I love Melly..her voice, the gothic dress. Anuar Zain finally won, but sadly, he wasn't there. Wasted, ain't it? He was present previous years but didn't get any award, but this year it was the other way round....nasib ko laa labi......
Back to reality, the boys were playing when Fidel brought over the Nasi Lemak. We both made our way home, slept for a while & spent the next hour cleaning up the fresh sea products. Off to Aunt Normah's again to fetch the boys, paid mil a visit, went to Junction 8. We visited Aunt Nor in the evening & I was trying very hard not to fall asleep.
Sunday - Off to TK's house for Chinese New Year celebration. I hate that we had to leave so soon, but Fidel didn't want me to miss my class. Well, I was glad I went, even I missed the 1st 15 minutes. We stopped by at the petrol kiosk. He was being mean for a moment there - while we waited inside the car as the men were washing it, he turned off the air cond. So there was I experiencing sauna. While the men were doing the final touches, I made my way to the cashier, walked towards the freezer, pretended to look at the ice cream labels while cooled myself. He was laughing as he looked at me....ah well, he did the same soon after, giggling all the way! Kalau yer pong nak suruh aku slim down, tak kan buat aku dudok dlm kereta macam dlm sauna!!!! Tapi tadi, ustaz baru cakap, "Di dunia ni, kita dah tak tahan panas walhal matahari jauh, abiz nanti di padang Mahsyar, matahari betol-betol kat atas kepala, maner nak berlindung? Aisey beydah...tak jadi aku nak ngomel kat dia. Lepas tu teringat lagik, ustaz ceritakan pengalamannya menjaga jemaah pada musim haji. Di suatu tempat, para jemaah tunggu bas berjam-jam....bila bas datang semua naik, bas pun sesak. Ustaz takder choice, terpaksa panjat bas, dudok kat bumbung bas...macam citer mamak, jorang dok kat atas bas. So ustaz pong teringat, dulu dia yg kata, apalaa mamak nie sumer, ley dok atas bas. Sekali dianyer turn lak dok kat bumbung bas. Cute aa citer ustaz!!!!
So skrang aku pong tengah jiwang-jiwang macam tanggechee.....lari keliling pokok, terpekik-pekau...asal??? Hero aku dah travel lagik!!!!!! I wish I could follow him - eh, tapi macam rekod rosak lak, every time dia gi, aku nak ikot. Hm...gambar dulu, lom download lagik - lemau tau. Lak tu si Fotopages punyer laa slow!!! Hopefully, he'll take me there, one day. Kalo aku kasi korang the website, korang sure ngiler.com. macam aku. Tapi takper, buat bertendang, eh. Agak-agak, nasib aku baik tak tahun nie?? Dia nak bawak aku honeymoong lagik tak? Nasib aku laaa labi.....

Mi or Su?? |
D,
An online friend wants to go on a holiday to KL with her family. She asked me to recommend which apartment is better, Mi Casa or Su Casa? Honestly, I don't know. Both are nice as seen from the site. I've not stayed in these apartments. I like the idea of shuttle service rendered to the shopping area. I like the idea of this kind of homestay. That gives me the idea, next time instead of staying in hotels, requesting 2 rooms, it's better to book apartment - more spacious.
So, my dear bloggers, I appreciate your suggestions. Just leave them in the comment box, thanks.
As for me, I'm looking forward to watch Anugerah Planet Muzik tonight, then I'm gonna need 2 matchsticks for my eyes....we're shopping for fish in the wee hours. It's gonna be jam-packed with activities.
Ju, lets trade places - I stay in yr English home & enjoy being frozen, while you stay in my Sing-cia-por flat & enjoy the sun....how?? Duduk laa korang kat Wild Wild Wet dari pagi ke malam, balek rumah aku, tido, while aku babysit ko nyer pokok daun limau purut...hehehehehe.

Untuk Ku, Untuk Mu Juga.... |
D,
Ustazah kata setiap kali kita belajar kita mesti improve, tak kan ilmu tak berkembang, kan? Akal kita luas, tapi terpulang pada kita hendak terima ilmu itu atau tidak. Tak semena-mena dia buka lagi bab sabar. Dia kata, firman Allah, "Sesungguhnya Aku bersama org yg sabar." Ustazah kata, memang bukan mudah nak terima musibah dgn sabar, namun jika kita redha & kuatkan iman, Allah pasti bersama kita. Ingatlah Allah ketika kita senang, nescaya Allah bersama kita ketika kita dlm kesusahan.
Tidak ada manusia yg tidak mengalami stress, Al Quran sajalah penyembuh segala penyakit. Tak putus-putus dia mengingatkan kami agar sentiasa mengaji, jgn takut yg kita mungkin tersalah baca, sesungguhnya kita masih belajar, bukannya sengaja nak salah baca. Biarpun 1 potong ayat, bacalah, perbaikilah bacaan. Fadhilatnya tak terkata. Pahala buat pembaca tak terhingga. Dia juga mengingatkan kami agar tidak menyembunyikan ayat-ayat Al Quran - maknanya jgnlah menidakkan yg hak, jgnlah gunakan ayat Al Quran hanya utk ikut rentak, citarasa kita sendiri.
Teringat pula hujah-hujah bekas biarawati pada Ahad lalu di masjid Kassim, sister Irena - dia menceritakan bagaimana dia pada mulanya disuruh mencari kelemahan Islam, kelemahan Al Quran, ternyata dia tidak menjumpai apa-apa kecacatan. Malah katanya, terdapat banyak kemusykilan yg tidak diterangkan dlm kitab-kitab mereka. Bayangkan, aku seorang yg dilahirkan Islam tetapi masih daif, melihat seorang muallaf, yg ketika dilahirkan, dia dibaptiskan utk jadi Katholik, berhujah tentang kebenaran Al Quran. Aku sungguh terpegun terhadap sister, terharu betapa beruntungnya diri ini - tidak perlu di Islamkan, kerana sudah dilahirkan dlm Islam, namun ilmu & amalan masih cetek walaupun dari kecil diajar mengaji. Bayangkan hanya 1 surah pendek, Al Ikhlas, yg terus membuka hati sister utk mendalami surah-surah yg lain. Lalu hatinya memberontak dan meninggalkan biara..bayangkan, meninggalkan keluarga yg terdiri dari aktivis kuat Katholik.
Teringat aku beberapa minggu yg lalu, aku terbaca di BH, Yusuf Islam beri komen, sikit lebih kurang ginilah, "dunia barat ini seakan kapal yg nak tenggelam, tapi umat Islam berasak-asak beli tiket nak masuk dlm kapal tersebut."

Terlalu kerdil, terlalu hina..malu, malu, malu...... |
D,
Beberapa hari yg lalu, aku telah berbual dgn AT. Sungguh rancak aku menceritakan tentang pesta makan ku, dia pun mencelah, "I've something to tell you." Wah, serius, nie. Seperti biasa, aku tak sabar nak dengar ceritanya. Bulan lalu, dia memberitahuku bahawa seorang rakan hajinya tiba-tiba dimasukkan ke hospital akibat sakit jantung. Dia sms ku agar aku bacakan Al Fatiha buat rakannya. Pendekkan cerita, ustazah (seorang asatizah di sebuah madrasah) itu telah dibenarkan pulang.
AT telah sempat menziarahinya di rumah. Dia belum berkeluarga. Ketika AT menziarahinya, dia duduk di kerusi roda. Lalu, dia sempat menceritakan pengalamannya ketika tenat di hospital. Sedikit lebih kurang, beginilah ........
Dia cuma sakit biasa sahaja, batuk & selsema. Namun dia dimasukkan ke wad. Oleh kerana wad CCU telah penuh, dia di letakkan di ICU. Dia terasa seperti mengalami sakaratul maut, sudah sampai hingga ke hujung hidung, rasa tidak selesa sekali. Dia rasa sungguh takut. Di dlm hatinya meminta agar dapat memegang tangan adik-beradiknya jika sudah sampai waktu dia pergi. Dia sempat membaca surah Al Insyirah. aku tanya AT, "oh, aku ingat baca surah tu utk anak jer." AT, "no, you can baca ketika dlm kesusahan, semoga Allah ringankan beban." Me, "I see. Ok, go on." Permintaannya dikabulkan Allah, dlm pengalaman sakaratul maut itu, kedua adik-beradik perempuannya memegang kedua tangannya. Kemudian dia pun dlm keadaan koma selama 6 hari. Selama itulah, dia mengalami sesuatu yg kita yg sihat belum tempuh.
Dia rasa dirinya seolah-olah diangkat naik ke atas. Di atas sungguh tenang, sekelilingnya putih, lebih putih & suci dari warna putih yg kita biasa lihat. Dia nampak ada air terjun, dia dengar alunan lagu yg sungguh indah, di tempat itu sungguh harum baunya. Tidak dapat dibandingkan di dunia. Dia jumpa arwah ibunya, dia menangis mendapatkan ibunya. Dipeluk, dicium. Dia juga jumpa arwah ayahnya, memakai baju putih panjang. Mereka juga berpelukan & berciuman. Dia rasa sungguh tenang, sungguh indah. Dia juga nampak ramai sekali lelaki berpakaian serba putih. Di sini, AT bertanya, "Apa kau fikir?" Me, "Eh, AT! Takutnya aku! Sesungguhnya ramai lelaki yg masuk Syurga. Ramai perempuan, tempatnya di Neraka! Eh, ini ustazah yg experience sesuatu yg indah, layak ker, kita?" AT, "Hm...tulah."
AT meneruskan cerita, dia juga merasakan dirinya wukuf di Arafah sebanyak 2 kali. Dia rasa dia telah mati di situ dan ustaz yg membimbing jemaah haji mereka telah menyelenggarakan mayatnya. Ustaz kata, "Cepat mandikan dia." Dia rasa dirinya betul-betul dipelihara, auratnya dijaga rapi, dia tidak mendapat sebarang keaiban. Tiba-tiba dia bagaikan dikejut dari buaian mimpi. Bagaikan tiba-tiba dia terjatuh ke bawah. Dia mahu kembali ke tempat yg indah itu, dia tidak mahu melepaskan arwah ibubapanya. Ketika itulah, dia sedar para doktor & jururawat mengelilingnya. Dia tersedar, namun dia tidak mahu bangun dari "tidurnya". Dia keji semua yg cuba menyelamatkannya. Dia ingin meninggalkan dunia ini. Waktu "tidurnya" terlalu indah.
Sekarang, ustazah berehat di rumahnya. Dia cuba mencari alunan lagu yg didengarnya, bauan yg harum ketika dlm koma, namun tidak mendatangkan hasil.
Masya Allah. Aku cukup berterimakasih kpd ustazah yg sudi menceritakan pengalamannya ketika berperang dgn nyawanya sendiri. Aku bersyukur kerana AT sudi berkongsi kisah benar ini dgn ku. Aku bertukar pendapat dgn AT. Apalah kita ini? Lihat, betapa isitmewanya ustazah. Kita rasa diri kita sungguh kerdil, keji di sisi umat yg soleh & soleha, di sisi segala ciptaan Allah. Rasanya tidak layak kerana sedar betapa miskinnya kita. Takut, tersangat malu hendak menghadap Allah. Di mana aku boleh bersembunyi? Astaghfirullah.
Beberapa minggu yg lalu, aku memberitahu rakan internet tentang masalah kesihatan ku. Sesungguhnya aku diselubungi keresahan yg belum pernah aku alami. Mungkin pre-menopause? Namun ianya mengganggu batin, bukan fizikal. Yup, it's so unlike me. Dgn kedatangan tahun baru Islam ini, mungkin aku juga perlu berhijrah? Aku sedar pendapat suamiku itu ada benarnya. Apakah manfaat yg aku dapat melalui penulisan secara blogging? Namun, dia memberikan ku ruang sebagai seorang individu. Tidak pernah dia masuk ke sini utk membaca segala apa yg telah ku tulis. Baginya, masanya amat berharga. Hm..ye, laa lebih baik dia baca suratkhabar daripada baca celoteh perasaan & mental ku.
Aku sering menyatakan keinginan ku utk berdiri di depan Kaabah. Aku kagum AT telah meyempurnakan 1 umrah biasa, 2 umrah Ramadhan & 1 Haji. Aku ingat dia pernah mendoakan ku di sana mengingati diriku dgn linangan airmata. Dia juga ingin aku menguatkan azam ke sana. Begitu juga dgn ibu mertua ku dan aunt Ley, aunt Nor. Pengalaman mereka mengerjakan Haji, menjadi inspirasi buat ku. Ibu mertua & aunt Ley pernah melakukan umrah bersama. Pada hari yg berlainan, mereka ternampak seorang perempuan yg saling tak tumpah seperti ku. Hanya sekali pandang, apabila mereka cuba mencari lagi, terus hilang dari pandangan. Melalui pengalaman mereka, niatku semakin kuat. Namun mengapa aku rasa kemungkinan itu masih jauh?
Seperti yg ku tulis di atas, mungkin sudah masanya aku mengubah haluan hidupku. Sempena tahun Hijrah 1426, aku membuka lembaran baru dgn buku baru. Apakah manfaat yg aku perolehi melalui blogging? Kesan negatif melebihi yg positif. Jari-jemari ku terlalu tua utk alam siber ini.

All about family |
D,
Tuesday - We were all looking forward to go down to Orachard Rd. While he was driving, he got a call. It was a pleasant surprise indeed when we got last minute confirmation for dinner. Yippee!!! I got anotther surprise at Holiday Inn's surau - I met an old friend. Suliah, had a shock of her life. She looks the same, as witty as ever, still complaining no matter how hard she tries, she can't gain weight...kekekeke. Of course, we were not going to lose each other again, we exchanged contacts & parted with a big hug.
Constantine was a great movie, we all enjoyed it. Timing was just perfect, the dinner reservations @ Straits Kitchen, Hyatt was @ 1930hrs. Pity, it doesn't serve high tea. Well, it's the latest big thing in S'pore - great spread....really I mean one is spolit for choice if one is into local food. The setting was just comfy & very good service. According to a staff, they're gonna make a surau for Muslim guests. Meanwhile, Muslim diners can use the staff's surau for prayers. I was indeed lucky, as I was thinking of YeeSang, then a waiter asked if we wanted a serving as they have it that night. Wonderful evening sharing great food with loved ones.
Wednesday - Off to the cemetery, visited foster mom's & Fidel's grandpa's graves. We spent some solemn moments praying for them by their resting places. Reached aunt Ley's place with my Apam Harum Manis which is her favourite. She cooked Lontong, Spaghetti & Konnyaku jelly. The men, cousin Ina went for bowling. I managed to watch Amazing Race live on AXN, watched Shall We Dance on vcd. The rest of family members slowly came soon after. We had family discussions about the wedding, we talked & joked as usual. This year, we recited Doa Muharram together. Uncle Jai lead the recital of doa for his wife, aunt Normah, whom birthday falls on 1 Muharram this year. We made our way home after dinner, sent mil to sil's house & caught up with the American Idol show & finally hit the sack.
It's all about family, ukhuwah.

Kongsi Gong Xi..... |
D,
Saturday - Early morning, Aunt Ley called. Since she couldn't join us for breakfast @ Yakun & to the cemetery, we had changed our plans. Followed by 2 more calls later,
Aunt Yah: Hello, korang jadi gi Yakun, eh?
Me: Jadinyer, owang lain tak jadi, kiter go ahead. Tapi kiter nak gi @ Tampines, nanti CNY, before gi rumah Aunt Ley, kiter ziarah kubur.
Aunt Yah: Ok, lah tengok ah camner, aku baru bangunlaa..semalam balek dari Nite Safari lambat...nanti aku telepon.
Aunt Nor: Hello, jadi gi Yakun?
Me : Jadi...kekekeke
Aunt Nor: Jelez aaa nak ikot tapi takder transport.
Me : Eh, tapi kiter tukar plan, tak jadi gi kubur niari, ktier makan kat Tampines jer.
Aunt Nor: Eh kalo gitu, nak ikot aa....kiter pong dah bangon....
Me : Ah...ajak Aunty Normah sekali laaa.....
So we had our Yakun Toast @ 0900hrs. The aunties were nowhere in sight. We left the place & walked around aimlessly in the mall while waiting for them. While he did his banking, the boys @ Times, mil & I browsed through Aussino sale. Goodness, you caught the ugly Singaporeans grabbing the bedsheets. 1 mom, walked away in disgust.
She : I don't wanna buy.
I : Yeah I can see they're all so inconsiderate.
She : Yeah, they push us around, then grabbed whatever there is in the lot.
Believe me, it was really ugly. They grabbed everything they could, went one side, then chose what they actually wanted. They didn't bother to look what they've grabbed. Even the showcase bed became the victim. Small kids sitting & lying on it while the mommies finally opened their eyes to read the contents of the bedsheet sets!!
Aunt Nor, Aunt Normah & their families reached Yakun @ 1030hrs. After that, we were cracking our brains...where to go? Finally we decided to go to Escape Theme Park....again!! This means 2 weeks in a row for my family. Heck, since the boys were eager to go there again. We stayed there for 4 hrs. Everyone had a jolly good time. It was fun taking the log ride with Aunt Normah & mil. As usual, everyone could hear my scream as the log was going down. Then it was decision time for lunch. Walked to Downtown East for KFC meal. It was crazy!!! We were still deciding where to go after that. Aunt Nor & family followed us home for sholat. Aunt Yah followed Aunt Normah home for sholat. We sent mil to Istighfar mosque for her Haj lessons & drove off to the zoo.
No, we were not visiting the sedare-mare or sahabat-handai kat situ....we went there just for the Ben & Jerry's icecream!!!! Goodness gracious! Asal ader 1 jer Ben & Jerry...? jauh lak tu...! Fidel suggested we kill time at Seletar Reservoir. So all of us sat facing the reservoir, lil' Irfan running around, the bigger kids at the playground. It was serene, just looking at the sky, the calm water. I was thinking to myself, 1 day, I shall have to leave this world, what will my fate be? I've been taking things for granted, I wish to have more time on this earth, to start my life over.
Aunt Normah was hinting...today's kithcen closed. So the men got the hint from the mommies, we drove to Jln Kayu after Maghrib @ Ahmad Ibrahim mosque. Best jalan dgn makciks pakciks....enjoy tu enjoy jugak, waktu sholat tak tinggal. So it was another feast of pratas, nasi ayam, soup kambing...all sorts or drinks! We talked, joked around & looking forward to another outing......yup the wee hours at Senoko fish wholesale market!
As we were calling the evening, the boys didn't want it to end yet. Cousin Ash wanted them to go over for another round of PlayStation. Off to Aunt Normah's to send them there. We stayed at mil's to watch Alexander's vcd. As we were making our way out, lil nephew wanted to follow daddy's car. Since Aunt Normah's was at opposite road, we brought the lil' one with us. Fetched the boys, sent the lil' one home & went home...finally. It was midnight, it was a wonderful Saturday indeed.
Sunday - Sent the boys as usual. Met up with Aunt Ley at Hjh Maimunah's Jln Pisang. While waiting for the class to start, I was introduced to her friends who attend ustazah Salbiah's classes. This would be my 1st time attending her class. Finally, I found a class that suits my Sunday schedule. Ustazah will be finishing the present book soon, she will start with Tafsir Wanita in a few weeks' time. I hope that I can attend her Saturday class at Jamiyah, too, if time permits. It was a short hour, but fulfilled my soul. Ustazah is a warm person, I like the idea of greeting, not all fellow sisters practise this but Insya'Allah I'll make this a habit from today. It's salam & then cheek to cheek. I feel the ukhuwah instantaneously towards the fellow sisters I met there.
After fetching the boys, we had McD @ Siglap, rented some vcds for the week & headed home.
As for today, I'm looking forward to going to Orchard in the evening when it's clear. We'll be watching Constantine @ 1700hrs @ Lido. As for tomorrow. it'll be another togeder-geder with his family. What a coincident, it'll mark us welcoming Muharram.
To fellow Muslimahs, selamat menyambut 1 Muharram 1426 Hijrah pada 10 Februari 2005. Semoga silaturrahim di antara kita makin erat & semoga kita senantiasa di rahmati Allah, Amin Insya'Allah.
P.S. jgn lupa baca doa akhir & awal tahun yer.

oh oh i'm in trouble......lagu power rangers the movie. |
D,
Heng sotong!!! Managed to squeeze time for facial with Florence yesterday afternoon. Heng tak sotong....I need huge overhaul!!! So happened, Nelam called & asked when I wanna go to the gym for workout. She said, "the more you wait, the more weight you'll gain, then it's not easy to lose it!" Oh so true, Nelam. No excuse, must go to PPIS. Nasib baik dekat, tapikan nak sampai PPIS tu, kena langkah Hjh Maimunah, nak balik kene langkah kedai cendol kat pasar! Kenelah jadi abangapek, jalan tutup mata!
OK..semangat berkobar-kobar nie! Dah ader wawasan!
Just now, AT called. Biasalah, kan. Dia kata kat sebuah negeri dekat dgn kita dah heboh.....org-org yg tinggal di bahagian atas tu kata, nowadays bila matahari terbit, ia dah makin condong ke arah barat. Ya Allah....bila aku nak jadi sebaik-baik manusia meninggalkan khayalan dunia? She always does this, she pulls me back to realise hak dunia & akhirat without her realising it. Just last week ustazah kata, "Dlm dunia ni, siapa yg paling degil, tak ikut suruhan Allah?" Berani pulak aku jawab, "Kita, manusia." Ye laa, aku lah tu....manusia! She continued, "Tengok, laut tu, patuh pada Allah. Allah suruh tenang, ia tenang. Allah suruh musnahkan bumi, ia patuh. Bila kita nak ubah sikap kita? Masa kita di dunia hampir expire tau." AT also reminded me, "ustazah kata, kita duduk kat rumah, iman tak ketuk pintu rumah kita. Kita patut keluar menuntut ilmu utk mendapatkan iman. Menerusi ilmu, kita dapat menguatkan iman kita. Iman tidak akan datang kalau kita tidak mencarinya."
Sempat berbual dgn MIL tentang tanda-tanda kiamat besar, dia pun kata, "Takut eh. Tapi kita masih leka walaupun kita tahu ia benar." Itulah, bukan mudah nak tempah nama di Syurga. Belum tentu amalan-amalan kita diterima Allah. Sejauh manakah keikhlasan ku khusyuk melakukan suruhan Allah, niat kerana Allah? Murnikah akalku, sucikah hatiku, wangikah mulutku, cantikkah akhlakku? Astaghfirullah......Kita hanya mampu berdoa agar Allah pandang kita di padang Mahsyar nanti, agar kita adalah salah seorang yg berjalan bersama-sama Rasulullah ke Syurga yg kekal abadi.

I'tiraf
Wahai Tuhan
Ku tak layak
Ke SyurgaMu
Namun tak pula
Aku sanggup
Ke NerakaMu
Ampunkan dosaku
Terimalah taubatku
Sesungguhnya
Engkaulah Pengampun
Dosa-dosa besar
Dosa-dosaku
Bagaikan pepasir
Di pantai
Dengan rahmatMu
Ampunkan daku
Oh Tuhanku
Wahai Tuhan
Selamatkan kami ini
Dari segala
Kejahatan & kecelakaan
Kami takut
Kami harap
KepadaMu
Suburkanlah
Cinta kami
Kepada Mu
Kamilah hamba
Yg mengharap
Belas dariMU
Penantian By Harmoni
Berapa lama mesti ku nanti
Sinar cahaya mata mu
Gemerlap bagai bintang
Menghiasi malam
Malam yg menutup diriku
Berapa lama perlu ku tunggu
Lontaran suara dari bibirmu
Memecah hening taman
Taman syurgawi
Pada sebuah hati yg sepi
Penantian suatu siksa
Yg tidak tertanggung
Oleh tubuh ku yg kering & layu
Kepastian suatu penwar
Dlm suka & duka
Yg meniti hidup ku
Doa By Harmoni
Tuhan ku
Dlm termangu
Ku sebut nama Mu
Biar susah sungguh
Mengingat Mu penuh seluruh
Tuhan ku
Cahaya Mu
Panas suci bagai kerdip lilin
Di kelam sunyi
Tuhan ku
Aku hilang bentuk
Kembara di negeri asing
Tuhan ku
Pintu Mu ku ketuk
Aku tak bisa berpaling
Nasyid By Hidayah
Kepada Mu Ilahi
Yg Maha Agung Yg Maha Suci
Ku pohon perlindungan
Dan keampunanMu
Pada setiap sholat
Ku lafazkan doa & pujian
Kukuhkanlah taqwaku & keimanan
Semoga diriku diselamatkan
Dari segala bencana
Limpahilah diriku dgn sinar penuh kemuliaan
Agar tidak digoda syaitan
Yg sungguh durjana peruntuh akhlak
Inilah doa seorang insan
Mohon perlindungan

The Reason
I'm not a perfect person
There are many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
