Salam peeps.

Yey I'm back! Actually I was back on Monday but as usual, hectic schedule at work keeps me busy all the way.

Still very busy now on a Friday. Dreadful indeed.

Hopefully I can find some time to update those photos taken while I was at the 2 remarkable Holy Grounds.

I think I can spare for small little updates though. Supposed to resume work on Wednesday but I took mc as my bloody gums and wisdom tooth are killing me to bits. Scheduled for an op to remove the lower wisdom tooth next Wednesday after Labour Day Holiday and....this is the best part - followed by 1 week mc!!

Whoohooooo!!

Insyaallah. Friday, April 27, 2007

My heart simply breaks into two every time I hear your neverending sad story
I wish for a happy ending for you
Everytime when things seems to go on the right way, there is always something that smears your path

What really tears my heart is when you asked me to pray for you when I am there
That is to pray to God to take your life away
For you cannot bear to carry on with this life anymore

Here I am pleading, I am begging you to cease that ugly thought
Stop thinking as such
Life has so much to offer
Life is great
Life is an ibadah
Life is in itself a gift from Allah swt
For if you wish for death is as good as you declining a gift from HIM

Do not despair my friend
Stay on
Be here
For you
For your son
For your family
For me
For Allah

I will definitely pray for you
I pray for your wellbeing
I pray that you will find happiness at the end of the tunnel
I pray to God to make it easier for you
I pray to God to make your marriage a victory
HE will listen
HE never ever turns away from HIS creation
What you need to do now is simple, just BELIEVE IN HIM Friday, April 13, 2007

Hai kesian betullah kat my Abang yang satu ni. He sent me an email earlier today :

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM......
Semua sehat kat sana...inshallah kita jumpa kat Mekah....
abang yah suruh kak ina masak kan abang yah ikan kurau kering.... 2 botol kecik...boleh bawak kan abang yah tak..."

Can you digest that? Now how am I supposed to smuggle the dried fish? Sure I can stuff it into my bag and all but with the recent stricter regulations pertaining to the airport customs, I doubt the dried fish will ever see the light of day in Mekkah. If I can get through Changi airport, there's another obtstacle at Jeddah airport to go through.

Always a good sister I am, I am just gonna strut my way into the check-in counter and buat muka tapai basi jer, boleh gitu?

Now don't you people sabo me aite! Friday, April 13, 2007

For all dearest fellow bloggers,

My prayers for all of my fellow Muslim sisters and brothers of Islam.

Please pray for me as I embark on a journey to discover my LORD and HIS Messenger. I am carving steps to discover Me.

You shall not hear from me for the next 12 days or so.

Till then, always in my heart. Never forgotten.

Always in search of trueself - G Friday, April 13, 2007

It is so unlike me to skip lunch and decline an invitation to a hearty meal. You can figure out by now, yes I am a good eater. I can eat lots. However these past few days saw a different side of me. I am not keen in devouring my favourite food. I skipped lunch. Today I actually brought to office with me 5pcs of chicken wraps which I gave away 3 to colleagues and I was left with 2. Amazingly, those 2 wraps of mine remain untouched, till now. Whoa!! I can't believe it myself sey!

I don't know what is happening to me. Painful stomach cramps yesterday, no appetite for few days. Hope this is not permanent though, I am soOO missing my favourite food you know. On the other side of the coin though, it is actually not too bad either. Hopefully I can shed some grams or maybe even kilos.....hehehee, seems too far fetch I guess. Ha hah! *eyes rolling*

Seriously, my body is here but my mind and soul have wandered to another place, a distant place which I hope I will take me there. No, wrong phrase - I hope HE will take me there.

This must be it. This explains all the jazzy jazz feeling and its effect on my body.

Ya Allah, another day to go. Please. I beg of YOU to make it happen. I really really need this.

Astaghfirullah hal 'adzim. Thursday, April 12, 2007

Started off my day with bout of bad stomach cramps. Impossible it was gastric. At the rate I've been pampering myself silly, I am confident it's not gastric. Impossible due to my menses. Not supposed to reappear until next month.

Came into office a hour and a half after 8.30am.
Really no mood today. Don't know why I feel gloomy till now.
Just keeping up with the pace I guess and wait for the clock needle to strike 6.
Will I be a happier person after that?

I don't know. But am I glad to be alive. Am I glad to be leaving soon.
To be near my Creator
One thing for sure
If I were to die now, I will die happy

Absurd. Totally crap talk. I know.

Forgive me for uttering nonsense
But it's my blog, I can do whatever I want, whenever I deem fit. Wednesday, April 11, 2007

One day Monday went to Tuesday to see Wednesday and ask Thursday whether Friday has told Saturday that "Sunday" is Holiday.

A Tiger was giving Wedding Party to his friends
A cat came there and danced
Tiger asked who are you?
Cat Said i was also a Tiger before my marriage

The wife stands in front of a mirror
"You know, dear," she says
"I look in the mirror & I see an old woman, face wrinkled, fat legs & flabby arms"
She turns to her husband & says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself."
He says in a soft voice,"your eye sight is perfect" Wednesday, April 11, 2007

Refer to the latest lego collection recently launched in Denmark. I wish we could start thinking about that. Please inform our muslim brothers and sisters to stop buying and boycott all Lego products. I know for sure I will.

Ya Allah! Selamatkanlah Umat Islam di seluruh dunia ini.

Betulkan niat dalam melakukan sesuatu kerana Allah S.W.T

HARAP MAKLUM
Post ini tidak mengandungi unsur-unsur fitnah untuk menjatuhkan sebarang individu atau sesuatu organisasi. Kita semuanya sudah maklum betapa kerasnya permusuhan kerajaan Denmark terhadap Islam. Khasnya dalam konteks memperlekehkan junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW, seorang manusia yang termulia, di beri kitab termulia, dalam bahasa termulia, di tanah termulia di muka bumi.

Heiress's midas touch. Location : The BROTOS'
Monday, April 09, 2007

Finally had my infuenza and meningococcal (twisted your tongue already?) jabs at TTSH last Saturday. It was a very quick and smooth job. Alhamdulillah.
Right arm still aches and feels tender to the touch.
Oh by the way, having the jab at TTSH is less expensive than having it done at a private clinic.
While mine set me back by $57, Mak had hers at our neighbourhood clinic for $74!
Don't ask me why we didn't do it together at TTSH. Long story...malas nak citer. Monday, April 09, 2007

IT is getting closer
Adrenaline rush is taking over
All the butterfly kisses
And all the chamomile wishes
They do not calm my jitters

I always look forward to the monthly family gatherings. I am sure darling Nadia and many others in the kinship industry will attest to this, right people?
What is most gratifying is the fact that our little ones whom I call the new branch in the family tree are able forge a close bond with their fellow cousins. I do not want my children growing up not knowing their family roots. This to me, is a very important aspect in life. They need to bond, love and preserve the family line. They need to carve in their hearts the true spirit of camaraderie.

For if a calamity happens to me or my other half, I know my offsprings can hang on to the other branches. That's what family is all about.

Taking inspiration from that notion, that was how our monthly gatherings came about. At first it was a simple gathering of sorts. Apart from contributing 50 bucks monthly into the BFF (Bank of Family Fund) and devouring the good food prepared by the host and some potluck, added to that effective from January this year we have introduced bithday celebrations for kins whose birthdays fall on that particular month.
Just imagine birthdays, gifts, food galore....simply joyful.

And I am soooo looking forward to the next month's gatering.

Rumah siapa pulak ek kali ni? Adakah akan menjadi kenyataan?

I am looking forward to June. I will have my gates and door open 'big-big' for all of my loved ones. We will celebrate my little gal's 6th birthday and anybody else whose birthday fall on the same month.

Gee, I better get ready for showtime!

Anyways, here are photos taken last Saturday @ Kak Ju&Abg Sali (aka The BROTOS) humble abode. Enjoy looking at the happy faces. By the way, all pictures snapped by our own in-house freelance photographer - Little Missy Wafa.

ps : To all my loved ones, thank you for the do'a and good wishes. Thank you for the kenduri do'a selamat. Words can't express my gratitude. What can I say, I am blessed.... Monday, April 09, 2007

I wish it is that simple. What used to be so easy to just grab and go is just very difficult to execute now. My passport is not with me. I can't do anything now. I am in state of helplessness.

I received an important yet short message yesterday. But that was enough to shaken me up. Called up my sis, told her to visit our dearest aunt quickly if she can. Her health is deteriorating, lost a lot of weight and now she's just skin and bones.

This is oh so so so heartbreaking. I am holding back tears now. I wish I could be there for her. Seeing her never fails to lighten up my life. My Aunt, she is a jovial, easy-going, loud-speaking, joke-cracking kinda person. It is never difficult for people to get comfortable with her.

Oh My Lord! I pray for her well-being. I pray that I will be able to meet her upon my return. I pray that upon my return, she will be her usual self again. I pray that YOU will cure her of her illness. If her time is up, kindly pleaee make it easy for her.

Amin, Ya Rabbal 'Alamin. Monday, April 09, 2007

You know what? After having waited for like 20 minutes at the clinic, our number 32 was called. So Mak Esah and I went into the Dr's room. He asked our intentions, he got his reply. Then he dropped the bombshell :

"Very sorry ah, I think I got no more of the flu jab. There are 3 persons before you who took the same jab and that was the last of it. Hmmmm....seems like everybody's going on a holiday this coming week, donno why hah? Oh probably due to the Easter Holiday huh." He was like blabbering non-stop. He continued, "Come back again next week can? So sorry ah, very sorry ah."

Errr, I would love to Doc but you see, I would have been away by that time, you GOON!!

And that all for a wholesome 20 mins of waiting. Luckily 1st thing when we got our number, Mak Esah and I managed to take our 4"x6" photos @ the film shop and bought a pack of plain flour @ NTUC. If we were to stay put from the very beginning, that would have been an hour wait sey. Fuuhhh, what a drag!

Oh swell. Looks like another trip to another clinic tomorrow evening.

Cobaan.....

ps : on a brighter note, heheeee..i escaped 1 more day without the needle..till tomorrow comes. lol. Wednesday, April 04, 2007

of course i am singing you a song
a song of happYness
a song of Syukur
Alhamdulillah, your fight is over
mine seems to take forever

Today I feel poetic maaa....

ps : i won't dare to steal your thunder. Just hoping to bask under the sunlight to-ge-der-ge-der. *smiles* Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Salam peeps. Hey there's no Friday this week, I mean no work on Friday and am I the HAPPIEST PERSON on earth I tell you!!

I've got jam-packed schedule starting from tomorrow :
1. Pay a visit to Da Boss @ TTSH. Apparently, he's been having nasal problems thus, the need to go under the knife. On another note, I'm happy you know...he'll be away for like 2 weeks! Cruel me. But face it, who likes to work with Bosses hanging around them all day? No show of hands, just as I expected.
2. Pay a visit to Mr Mustafa @ Little India - wanna check out his luggage gallery
3. On the holiday morning - marketing trip to Geylang with The Brotos
4. Saturday - gathering cum kenduri kesyukuran @ The Brotos
5. Sunday - invitation to my ex-neighbour's majlis cukur jambul of her 7th child (yes-7!, really salute her).

Oh well, that's it. That somehow sums up the things I need to do on top of the regular routines like The Heir's madrasah and Heiress's phonics.

I love my life!! Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Very the sepet ek? Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Poor Little Heir. The Heiress launched a vicious attack on him. Look what she made him do while she happily clicking away shots of him from my own handphone. What do you call this? Oh she's up to her usual mischief again! I was totally clueless as I just saw these pics today as I was downloading pics from the phone.

Inexcusable, but nevertheless cute!! But just to set the record straight, Heiress and Her Highness are no paedophile aite.

April is here. I am now officially launching my countdown to 14th April. Insyaallah. If God is willing, He will make it happen for me.

Till then, I can just pray, pray and more prayers. Monday, April 02, 2007
