Just rindu :'(

Semakin ramai yang memperkatakan tentang dirinya, semakin rindu diri ini padanya😢

Reading thru' her last msg via fb pm made me shed a tear. Semoga Mama masih lagi dalam ingatan Muna sepertimana Muna tulis "You have a place in my heart. Always have. Always will" 😥😥

😢😢😢

Sometimes I wish people will just stop making viral, something that doesn't concern them. Let's just look within ourselves..sempurna manakah kita? kita tak tau lagi bagaimana pengakhiran kita nanti 😥 let's make du'a for one another and never underestimate the power of du'a! 

Tuhan, semoga dia tau bahwa kami menyayanginya, mencintainya, dan merindukannya.

Musabaqah Tahfiz in Jakarta : The Countdown

 

Packing incomplete. In between packing, tak sedar airmata deras mengalir..tears of joy for sure. Ya Tuhan hanya Engkau yang maha mengetahui ape yang tersirat dihati. How difficult he was in his toddler years, namun aku tetap bersangka baik padaMu, kerana aku yakin didalam setiap ribut petir yang sabung menyabung, pasti akhirnye Kau akan datangkan jua pelangi yang indah. Sungguh, Allah mengetahui segala apa yang tidak kita ketahui❤️

2 more days Adek will be leaving for Jakarta for the Annual Prince Sultan Abdul Aziz Musabaqah Tahfiz. Letter of excuse given and flight as well as accommodation had been confirmed alhamdulillah. Adek and the other 2 contestants from Sekolah Agama Radin Mas, will be accompanied by Ustaz Amirullah throughout their stay in Jakarta. 

May Allah ease all of their affairs, and may they be in His guidance & protection at all times ameen.

After all these years, Muna, you came back dengan berita yang buat Mama menggeletar. I'm so lost for words. Mama cuma dapat mendoakan agar Allah beri petunjuk buat Muna. I'm so saddened..truly saddened :'(

Shabu Burger

It's been more than 6 years since the last I did online biz selling Tapak Kuda & Cili Sos before I decided to babysit Teha and her sis, Chacha after 3 subsequent years. The urge to make a comeback was so strong but this time with a different product. 

It all started when I had a bite on the bro-in-law's shabu2 burger. He gave me the recipe to try out and that was when the idea came out. My sis & bro-in-law gave consent. Family members & close friends gave full support. I feel loved, masyaAllah!

And so, on 16th March 2016, I launched an introductory Shabu Burger sale. The respond was overwhelming that I have to close order earlier, that is, on the next day. Alhamdulillah!! Frankly, I have to admit that I have a strong customer base from my previous TK & CS biz. Though not at large  and I kept them small, they were the ones who had always been supporting me with their continuous orders. Heart them much!! I'm not one who's too ambitious to make it big, but I'm doing this to help lighten the hubby's burden, being the sole breadwinner with 2 Madrasah schooling kids and the other will be in his 3rd year Poly. Alhamdulillah, Allah has always made it easy for us and we sentiasa rasa cukup dengan segala pemberianNya walau tidak sebanyak mana. Harus sentiasa bersangka baik dengan Allah :)

Before launching, I had my family members, sisters, bro-in-laws, nieces and nephews sampling my Shabu Burgers. Alhamdulillah feedbacks were all positive! I thank them all for making this happen!

And the niece too goes all out in supporting her makcik belo hehehe And yes, of course, I'm so loving the logo that Atin created for me, alhamdulillah!!

Nice? How do you like it? 

May Allah make it easy for me, ameen. Anyway, since I'm still babysitting the 2 siblings, it's gonna be a weekly or once in 2 wks pre order affair (weekends sale only) and the weekend sale dates will be announced on my FB & Instagram. Oh and I'm so sorry that it has gotta be self collect only :)

Please make du'a for me, TQ!!! 

Alhamdulillah!

It's been almost a week now since Abang's internship with Sembcorp Marine. Sometimes I just can't help but pity him as he's got to wake up very early and be ready for work before fajr prayer.

Today, and next week onwards, he has to leave home at 5.30am, half hour before fajr prayer to catch the 1st train to Boon Lay mrt for the 6.20am bus to Tanjung Kling. May Allah make it easy for him to solat anywhere near the mrt before he boards the bus, ameen.

On a positive note, I'm more than happy for him with the fact that he's allowed to go for solat Jumaat. I've always taught them kids to be honest and true in all the things they do, and to keep their faith strong. Allah has indeed made it easy for him although he is so new with the organisation, his obligation towards the deen is being taken care of, alhamdulillah!

Internship 2016

Today marks a new phase in my firstborn's life. He will be starting his internship with Sembcorp Marine for a period of 6 months. How time flies! This year will be his 3rd year in Singapore Polytechnic. He's been doing great so far alhamdulillah.

May Allah ease all of your affairs Abang! And may you be surrounded by all the good people throughout your internship journey ameen.

Errr ok mebe Mama's just a lil too concerned :')

Maya's Neutered!

Ayah had made an appointment for Maya's sterilization today with the vet. Maya was required to fast from 11pm last night till the surgery is over or as advised by the vet. 

Earlier in the morning at about 3.30am, as usual, Mama fed Maya, having forgotten all about her appointment. My bad! As such, Maya had to wait a little longer, and swop timing with another kitty. 

Unlike Abang Montel, Maya is more aggressive, struggled and tried to run away once she was taken out of her carrier. She must have been scared since this is her first time to the vet. And the sight of a few cats present at the clinic made her more terrified. Ayah left the clinic as soon as she was taken away to be placed in a cage while waiting for her turn.

Alhamdulillah everything went well for Maya. She is one strong girl. And Maya's looking good when Ayah came to fetch her home in the late afternoon. Good job Maya!!

Maya cried on her way home. Like literally cried..tears seen at the corners of her eyes. Please don't cry sayang. You will be well soon insyaAllah ameen.

Maya

My pretty baby is 6mths today. Besok nak go for sterilization. Hopefully all goes well for budak baik ni hehe and mudah2an lepas tu tak buli2 Abang Montel lagi.

Kalau macam ni selalu kan bagos :D 

It's OK!

There's a stage where people change. Sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better. I'd love to think that over the years, I'd tried my best, striving to change for the better, insyaAllah. It wasn't a smooth journey, I struggled yes, but I always believe in His Rahmah. 

Most times people will see you, judge you by the person you were, not the changed person you are at present. And they tend to get wary of what they'd say or do to you. It's OK! It's really OK! I have other better things to do than to mind other people's business. I have my grave to think of. I have none other but only Allah to please. 

Praying for HIS guidance and protection at all times ameen.

Aljunied's Prize Giving, Scholarship and Special Awards Ceremony

Yesterday Kakak received her 2nd scholarship award. Two years in a row alhamdulillah. Again, Ayah decided to not opt for the prize money for her school fees payment, just like last year. Kakak gets to keep all $1760 into her bank account. And someone's smiling widely!

Here's sharing some pix of yesterday's event.

Kakak receiving her award from the principal, Mr Mahmoud Mathlub. All smiles but unfortunately the name and pix on the projector do not tally hehehehe

Ni penting ye! heheheh 

Alhamdulillah the event went smoothly. Congratulations Kakak!! May this motivate you to perform even better in the future insyaAllah. Mama & Ayah will always pray that you, Abang and Adek will succeed in this dunya and the hereafter ameen.

Aljunied Japanese Homestay (19 - 21 February 2016 ) ~ Day 3

Day 3

Time for Mai and Fumika to pack their luggage. We had to leave for school before 12pm. Because of that, the girls had early lunch at home and brunch was nasi lemak & epok2 and donuts to go along with.

Just before we left, the girls handed a plastic bag filled with an album booklet and goodies from Japan. Makcik terharu tau tros pelok the girls one after another. Kakak pon!

It had been our greatest pleasure hosting Mai and Fumika. 3D2N's stay is such a short period of time to get to know them well, but I had learnt couple of things from them. Their beautiful akhlaq impressed me greatly, An akhlaq a Muslim should possess is in them. They would never start eating their meal before we started with ours even when we insisted. They would say a lil prayer before eating. They would pick up and eat any food that had fallen off their plates on the table. It's like, bukannye kotor sangat, rezeki jangan buang2. Above all, they were too generous with their TQs.

However, there was just something that we did not expect from them..they bathed once a day only in the evening..aiseyman hahaha they would just wash their faces and brush their teeth BUT mind you, there wasn't any bau masam/hapak/hamis no body odour even after a day's outing..trust me! heran tau they could stay odourless walaupon kopet. Whatever it is, we are surely gonna miss them, the well mannered young ladies.

Aljunied Japanese Homestay (19 - 21 February 2016 ) ~ Day 2

Day 2

Woke the girls up at 7am. Kakak prepared for them pancakes and omelette for breakfast. They had bread and peanut butter too.

Today, we had to leave home at 8.30am to attend Kakak's A*YTS briefing at MKS. Told Mai and Fumika that they had to wear proper to the masjid and they agreed to wear jubah to MKS, and they may change to their casual wear once the briefing ended.

Right after the briefing, brought them to Geylang Serai market for lunch. Mai wanted fish ball noodles while Fumika had soup noodles with beef and prawns. They even tried rojak keling and otak2 kampong. Masek terbayang-bayang muka dorang terperanjat berok when we google translate longan jadi mata kucing. They were like "omg!! mama minom real cat's eyes drink" hahaha Abetu air nenas beli sekali 2 but bedal nenas je..sukati korang la nak! heheheh

Crossed over to Joo Chiat Complex and then to Tanjong Katong Complex hoping to get them a jubah each but they seemed somewhat not quite keen so we proceeded to our next stop.

Not wanting to waste time, we took a cab to Masjid Sultan for zuhr prayer. They both were in awe at the sight of Masjid Sultan that they went "woahh kawaiii!!" May Allah grant them hidayah ameen.

After solat, we took them to the shops along the lanes near the masjid for souvenirs shopping. It started to rain so heavily after they were done. But nothing to worry coz the girls were well equipped with umbrellas. So next up was Clarke Quay and Merlion Park.

It was still raining by the time we reached Raffles Place mrt. The girls were ok with it though it was quite difficult to take pix with umbrellas over our heads. But it wasn't that bad as the rain stopped after awhile.

We took the 40min river cruise from the Merlion Park jetty. It was a slow ride and Makcik bole tertido ok hahaha The river cruise was nonetheless a great way to enjoy the views of the nearby attractions. The girls looked so tired and Makcik lagik tired tau!! So we decided to call it a day after the boat ride.

Dinner was satay, KFC and mee goreng. No choice la kan, gotta order. Bila masa Makcik nak masak? Takpe la janji kenyang. Lagik pon kepale Makcik da start nak mengong. Perhaps banyak sangat jalan dalam hujan. But no problem la as long as the girls happy, ok la tu.
