5th December marks another meaningful event for me - my darling hubby's b'day. Yang ke 32. Let's see, when I 1st met him, I was 17 and he 19. He was serving his National duty and I guess till now dia maseh me"nyerving" SCDF.

Praises to God for bringing us together and bestowing upon us 2 lovely adorable wonderful gifts.

Terima kaseh, Alhamdulillah.

To hubby.....heheheehehehe....jangan menjeng!! Tuesday, November 28, 2006

Exactly, this is what's gonna happen if you're trying to relive the glory days when ladies sat on a bike menyenget....ala ala Saloma style. For those who are ardent fans of black & white movies, especially those Jalan Ampas movies will know wat I'm talking about.....

This was what happened to my eldest sis-in law (Kak Long). On the way to a Mosque near her home, she was riding pillion on a neighbour's rempit bike...but tulah, all seemed to be a recipe for disaster - dia duduk senget ala Saloma, pakai baju kurong.....nak jadikkan citer, kain kurung tu terselit kat celah spokes tayar belakang motor tu....(the rear tyre). Gedebuk! Jatuh tergolek....it was quite a bad accident, luckily she escaped with abrasions, laceratons, toe nail tercabot, swollen all over the body and 3 stitches to her upper lip. Alhamdulillah, though she's still limping and her right leg was badly swollen when we visited her last Saturday, Tuhan masih sayangkan akak ipar aku tu or the accident would have been worse.

Alhamdulillah jugak, the rider escaped with slight injuries only without any hospitalisation for both of them.

So remember, jangan sesekali bergaya ala Saloma...kalo suara ala Saloma takper..maseh boleh diterima.

We seriously need to think this over. . . . to have or not to have? Look at our ex-neighbour, 6 kids in tow with the 7th edition coming up quarter next year. Isn't that just amazing work? Well, put aside the "work" couple had to do in order to get the edition.....I mean, the raising up children part (bukan raising yang itu....tu dah proven, always rise to the occasion), time management and banyak banyak perkara lagik lah. I envy, macam maner jorang handle tu????? Tapi when I think and think and think.....I forgot very 1 simple answer ; Tuhan Maha Kaya dan Pemurah, kalo Dia perkenan untuk memberi, Dia akan memberi pada sesiapa saja.

Mudahan-mudahan, I pun mohon rezeki melimpah begitu....tapi walau macam maner pun, we must measure our own clothes lah. But yet again, sejurus sahaja Tuhan beri anugerah zuriat, sudah tercatit rezeki anak itu. But of course janganlah mentang mentang Anak itu rezeki, Mak Bapak malas pulak nak cari rezeki and harap rezeki jatoh dari langit....sadly, this is the mentality of common Malays. Tapi from what I see from my ex-neighbour's example, their kids are never neglected. In fact, they are given proper education, tuition, madrasah, toys and everything other children have they also have....this is carried out with only 1 single soul breadwinner in the family.

The moral of the story is - Yes, children are gift and rezeki from God. Tapi manusia mesti berusaha untuk memantapkan ekonomi and ensure that children are not neglected duniawi and ukhrawi. Barulah anak ramai tapi semua menjadi!! Monday, November 27, 2006

Yesterday I had to brave myself and successfully driven my mother and kiddies to Bedok Reservoir for a wedding invitation. Actually the plan was to hitch a ride with my bro to Bedok and then come back together with him too. However, when my sis-in-law mentioned that she will be staying longer for the wedding, I changed the plan and drove my mom and kids to Bedok MYSELF!! but of course, my brother was ahead leading the way lah...This is quite an achievement for me you know (for those who think this is kinda lame...well, lame for you but not for me uhuk uhuk!). The furthest I drove was to Hougang and back jer.

Alhamdulillah, though the weather was wet during the journey...we made it in 1 piece, this time without my bro leading the way. And the ride home was a breeze too...just cruising along PIE while maintaining a speed of 80-100kmh. On the way back, we singgah at my ex-neighbour's house...dia buat kenduri for her 2 kids who just went under the knife - berkhatan lah
(circumcision). Made her some dadeh (strawberry & choc).....eh tak, it was my maid yang buat dadeh tu...I cumer kasik kat my neighbour before I left for Bedok...so on the way back we went to her place for makan session lagik...

Burpp! Alhamdulillah, rezeki melimpah melimpah...makan ajer... Monday, November 27, 2006

Allah s.w.t telah memerintahkan seorang Malaikat berjumpa iblis supaya dia berjumpa dengan Rasulullah s.a.w. untuk memberitahu segala rahsianya sama ada yang disukai mahu pun yang dibencinya. Hikmatnya ialah untuk meninggikan darjat Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dan juga sebagai peringatan dan perisai kepada umat manusia.

Maka Malaikat itu pun berjumpa iblis dan berkata: "Hai Iblis! Bahawa Allah Yang Maha Mulia dan Maha Besar menyuruh engkau menghadap kepada Rasulullah s.aw. Hendaklah engkau buka segala rahsia engkau dan apa-apa yang disoal oleh Rasulullah hendaklah engkau jawab dengan sebenar-benarnya. Jikalau engkau berdusta walau satu perkataan pun, nescaya akan diputuskan segala suku-suku anggota badanmu, uratmu serta diseksa dengan azab yang amat keras."

Mendengar sahaja kata Malaikat yang dahsyat itu, Iblis sangat ketakutan. Maka segeralah dia menghadap Rasulullah s.a.w dengan menyamar sebagai seorang lelaki tua yang buta sebelah matanya dan berjanggut putih 10 helai, panjangnya seperti ekor lembu.

Dipendekkan cerita, Rasulullah mengenali Iblis dan kerana ketakutan Iblis bahawa dia akan dibinasakan jikalau tidak berkata benar, lalu terjadilah sessi soal-jawab antar Rasulullah dan iblis.

Soalan Nabi ke-1 : "Hai Iblis! Siapakah sebesar-besar musuh engkau dan bagaiman aku terhadap engkau?"
Jawab Iblis : "Ya Nabi Allah! Tuanlah musuh hamba yang paling besar di antara segala mush hamba di muka bumi ini!"
Sambung Iblis : "Ya Khatamul Anbiya! Adapun hamba dapat menjelma seperti sekalian manusia, binatang dan lain-lain hingga rupa dan suara pun tidak salah sepertinya, kecuali diri tuan sahaja yang tidak dapat hamba tiru kerana ditegah oleh Allah. Kiranya hamba menyerupai diri tuan, maka terbakarlah diri hamba menjadi Abu.
Hamba cabutkan iktikad anak Adam supaya menjadi kafir kerana tuan berusaha memberi nasihat dan pengajaran supaya mereka kuat untuk memeluk agama Islam; begitu jugalah hamba berusaha menarik mereka kepada kafir, murtad atau munafik. Hamba akan tarik sekalian umat Islam dari jalan benar kepada jalan yang salah supaya masuk ke dalam neraka dan kekal di dalamnya bersama hamba"

Soalan Nabi ke-2: "Hai Iblis! Betapa perbuatanmu kepada makhluk Allah?"
Jawab Iblis : "Adalah satu kemajuan bagi perempuan yang merenggangkan kedua pehanya kepada lelaki yang bukan suaminya, setengahnya hingga mengeluarkan benih yang salah sifatnya. Friday, November 17, 2006

Hopefully after having read this, no one of us will suddenly quit our jobs and have more babies. Tapi jikalau sudah ready physical, mental and economic then takder hal lah. Teruskan, Syukur Alhamdulillah. Lagipun anak-anak adalah pemberian rezeki dari Allah s.w.t

Adapun pahala bagi wanita yang mahu mengurus anak, gemar melahirkan dan menyusukan anak adalah :

1. Dua rakaat solat wanita yang hamil lebih baik daripada 80 rakaat solat wanita yang tidak hamil.
2. Wanita yang hamil dapat pahala puasa di siang hari dan pahala ibadat di malam hari.
3. Wanita yang bersalin dapat pahala 70 tahun solat dan puasa serta setiap kesakitan pada satu uratnya, Allah bagi satu pahala haji.
4. Sekiranya wanita meninggal dunia dalam masa 40 hari selepas bersalin ia dikira sebagai mati syahid.
5. Wanita yang memberi minum susu badannya kepada anaknya akan dapat satu pahala daripada setiap titis susu yang diberikannya.
6. Wanita yang beri minum susu badannya kepada anaknya yang menangis maka Allah beri pahala satu tahun pahala solat dan puasa.
7. Kalau wanita menyusui anaknya hingga cukup tempah 2.5 tahun maka Malaikat di langit menyampaikan berita bahawa syurga wajib baginya.
8. Seorang ibu yang menghabiskan masa malamnya dengan tidur yang tidak selesa kerana menjaga anaknya yang sakit mendapat pahala seperti membebaskan 20 orang hamba.
9. Wanita yang tidak cukup tidur pada malam hari kerana menjaga anaknya yang sakit akan diampunkan oleh Allah akan seluruh dosanya, dan bila dia hiburkan hati anaknya Allah beri 12 tahun pahala ibadat.

Masyaallah, betapa mulianya wanita di mata Islam dan di mata Allah. Anda tak nak take up this irresistible offer from God? Friday, November 17, 2006

I borrowed this book titled 17 Sikap Yang Menghalang Keberkatan Rezeki. I would like to share part of the content with fellow bloggers especially Muslim women. Everyday when we go to work we are faced with dilemma on having to leave our kids with someone - maid, grandparents, babysitters, childcare. Hope what I share with you can help to shed some light for us so called working mothers.

Kita hari ini hidup dalam masyarakat moden, sistem komputer sudah mempengaruhi hidup manusia.

Semuanya mesti berkejar-kejar agar tidak ketinggalan hingga memaksa ibu dan bapa bekerja sepenuh masa atau lebih masa untuk menjaga status, hingga anak-anak mereka dibiakan membesar dan diurus oleh orang gaji; jiran yang menjaga atau ditempakan di nurseri seperti anak-anak ayam yang ditetas oleh kuasa elektrik.

Hari ini kebanyakan suami isteri tidak suka ibu atau bapa masing-masing pihak tinggal bersama. Mereka lebih rela orang gaji tinggal bersama mereka atau hantar sahaja anak ke mana-mana yang sanggup menjaga mereka.

Dan isteri ikut sama keluar pagi-pagi buta ke tempat kerja bersama suami atau pergi sendiri. Balik sebelah petang atau malam mereka terpaksa juga menyediakan makan malam, jika malas cari jalan ringkas seperti beli sahaja makanan yang dijual di luar atau masak makanan segera walaupun tidak ada zat pada makanan itu.

Kepenatan isteri atau wanita bekejr ditambah lagi dengan masalah di tempat kerja yang terbawa-bawa ke rumah mempengaruhi keadaan hidup sosial suami isteri dan anak-anak. Melayan kehendak suami dan karenah anak-anak menambah bebannya lagik. Latar belakang ini menjadi punca utama wanita berkarier zaman moden menghadapi penyakit-penyakit yang tidak pernah diketahui pada zaman dulu.

Tergesa-gesa - Kerana hendak kejarkan masa, amalan buangan dari tubuhnya turut tergugat dan bila ini berlarutan beberapa hari maka gejala sembelit pun timbul. Peluang senaman tidak ada dan jika tidak diatasi masalah sembelit, ianya membawa kepada gejala-gejala lain seperti selalu sakit kepala, badan rasa lemah, kurang selera makan dan gastrik.
Penat - Tubuh badan terasa amat penat, tidak bermaya atau kurang bersemangat kerana tekanan kerja, stress, bebanan kerja di rumah melayan suami dan anak-anak sertai kewajipan yang lain-lain lagi.
Lemah badan - Ketidak seimbangan vitamin dalam tubuh. Amalkan kebersihan diri. Miriam Stoppard dalam bukunya Everywoman's Medical Handbook menyatakan, punca penyakit kanser pada wanita sebahagian besarnya ialah kerana tidak ada penjagaan kebersihan diri.

Actually there are many more useful information can be found in this book written by Abu Aziz Mishiri and Abu Qistina Al-Madani.

I will share with you more info in my blog. Friday, November 17, 2006

Hmm, diam tak diam dah masok angka 3 aku nie. And as with other loyal citizens of my same aga we are required to re-register our IC after we turn 30 of age. So I did mine online with the help of my niece (thanks Nur) who scanned for me my ic and passport photo. A charge of S$10 paid by card online (nothing's free).

Then this morning I got an email from ICA to collect my new IC tomorrow. Yey Yey! But I wonder do we have to re-register at 50 or 60? Friday, November 17, 2006

To all fellow Muslim bloggers, please be kind enough to extend your doa' to my biras's mother who has just gone under the knife on Tuesday to remove a tumor. She's now in the ICU and is recovering. Let's pray for her speedy recovery and hope she'll soon be well enough to enjoy her childrens' company and family. And so that we can continue our Quran recitation classes at her home. Her name is Habsah Bte Mohamed.

Thank you guys, you've been wonderful. Thursday, November 16, 2006

Didn't I say so, there has been lots of happenings in my life cumer tak der time nak update kat blog ajer. Sometimes I do regret for not updating as soon as the happening happens....ntahlah, sometimes I need time to absorb and ponder about what has happened and whether they leave negative or positive impact on my mental being. Tapi frankly Alhamdulillah, I can accept things as they happen and to take it in my positive stride. Praises to God for giving me a sane mind to think, evaluate and giving me strength and faith and believe that everything happens for a cause.

I mean I'm not a Saint, not even trying to be one. I just wish to be a good citizen of Singapore, a good practicising Muslimah and for God's sake! - why is it so hard for people to accept the fact that people change and they constantly do. Isn't that a natural life process??? From baby to toddler to child to teenage to adult to growing old...tak faham faham ker, semua orang go through changes. Me not excluded in this case...I don't want to live life without a cause and I refuse to end my life without knowing my God and without Loving Him. Ya Allah, give me a chance to Know You for I've been bllinded by my own wrongdoings throughout my life.

Isn't it in order to Love Him u've got to learn about Him, Know Him, understand where He's getting at and understand why He does what He does as only He knows best.

Why? Why? Why now? Why not before? Why now baru nak jadik baik, kenaper dulu jahat macam nak mampos? Maksiat, dosa besar, dosa kecik bantai semua?!!

But hey pleaselah, if you do not know the meaning of "change"...then you're not human and been living in another planet all this while. Kan bagos kalo orang change for the better, not for worse. Wouldn't we want to share their happiness, knowledge?

Kalo tak tau, belajar! Islam menuntut manusia belajar dan berfikir secara rasional. Kalao tak tau, bertanya. Kalo tak reti reti nak belajar, jangan cepat menjatuhkan hukuman and become one-sided. Inilah dia, ada akal taknak fikir, ikut nafsu binasa. Wallahualam. Wednesday, November 15, 2006

On Monday, my lil gal was scheduled for an appointment at the Eye Clinic at NUH. So early Monday morning while I was still tired and limp after the open house on Sunday...off we went to NUH with darling hubby and son.

Wafa had to go through a couple of eye tests and another test after her eyes had been dilated. So!! It was proven than she has rather high astigmatism of about 200. But her degree was rather low at 50 for each eye. Which means she has to put on glasses. Poor lilttle gal didn't know the importance of putting on glasses. She thought it's the fanciful sunglasses which kiddies wear so while we brought her to a couple of optical shops....she refused to try on the frames. Instead she dragged her Abah all the way to a kiddie store where she pointed to an array of kiddy sunglasses perched on a stand. Ya Allah, kalao dah dinamakan budak....they are just a bunch of innocent and plain thinking children. Only after her Abah purchased the sunglasses for her then she agreed to try on the "real" frames at the optical shop. Ya Ampun.....

Turned out, Abah also needed help in the sight department. He also had some degrees added to his age...thus, dua beranak bikin glasses at the same time. While Wafa nyer glasses cost 170, Abah's only cost 68. Duhhhh
