Another closure...

(This was written in mid Dec 2010 tapi lupa nak post!) It is less than 2 weeks before the new calendar year begins.. And it is time for me to start making an assessment of my 2010 KPIs. Rough Moment 2010 wasn't an easy year .. had my high & low (but thank you Allah swt..syukur I finally made it~and it is time to compensate what was missed during the tough time). There is a saying in Malay "..kami mencari2 sinar matahari, rupanya Tuhan merancang yang lebih baik..di beriNya pelangi.." Yup, not only my prayers were answered but it was more that what I expected. Ok, Ok.. lessons learnt & I have a big responsibility ahead..have to be accountable to the commitment that I have made (Nurul/Tina: I think you know what I mean..) but I believe Allah swt always there with me. Good Times The annual outbound trip,checked! Dubai & Kuwait were the highlights of 2010!! Enjoyed the trip alhamdulillah (though some damage done to wallet, hihi..) Umrah was materialised for mak, b

Hijra..A new beginning..alhamdulillah

It was finally materialize..very brief! Tendered my resignation, served 2 weeks and today is my 4th week at the new place. Honestly, it wasn't easy leaving the 13+ years norm...(but I was telling myself that I should have done it sooner!)..but the signs was very clear & I practically ready to roar! The final 2 weeks was filled with farewell luncheon and dinner. Amongst the one that I enjoyed most is with Fiza, Bernard & Rozita. It was a sure one helluva catching up for old time sake. I know I may struggle in the beginning, but my du'a to Allah "..permudahkan urusanku ya Allah" Hence..in this little corner that I owned..I would like to thank every single one that has assist me in developing my career..to prepare me in adjusting to ANY circumstances and who leave a special place in my heart:- Thank you to my advisor RO, ZAA & Abg Adi .. My team!! Nuruliman, Latina, Saber & Rizaidi ..for being the best team that I have ever had.. for always being my broth

Pray! before prayer is said upon you....

Technology has influenced my life so much And as guided by the pious, I try to benefit from it as much as possible Hence one of the email that stricken upon me is on the meaning of the verse in between two sujud during solat (Bahasa Malaysia is preserved here since it has a deeper and wonderful meaning) MashaAllah…Quran is beautifully composed…no flaws! Rabbighfirli (Tuhanku, ampuni aku) Warhamni (sayangi aku) Wajburnii (tutuplah aib-aibku) Warfa'nii (angkatlah darjatku) Warzuqnii (berilah aku rezeki) Wahdinii (berilah aku petunjuk) Wa'Aafinii (sihatkan aku) Wa'fuannii (maafkan aku) Subhanallah , it is such a beautiful du’a.. making my every prayer more peaceful upon discovering the meaning. Terimalah amal ibadatku Ya Allah, semoga anak2ku & keluargaku sentiasa termasuk dalam golongan yang mendirikan solat & menunaikan zakat..amin. p/s: The reason I’m posting is about sharing the information Convey! even if it’s just a single verse… ( sampaikanlah, walaupun

Bulletin Board

I may be busy..but I do peep thru the daily newspaper to catch the latest update..(especially the disturbing one). This is written during lunch hour in the office simple because I had another brain-freeze-moment in which my thinking refuse to work. Dumping babies Wahai perempuan2…this is one of God’s SWT greatest creation & blessing to us. If you think that you are incapable or can’t afford to take care of them.. please find other proper means (i.e legalise adoption etc) of giving the innocent baby. (I wrapped my babies around me whenever I think of this. Yes, bukan sahaja penyu menangis… saya pun menangis!) N@m@wee Dear Encik Wee, I managed to peep thru your youtube. I also watch your respond to the press in TV where you mentioned “..if I found something wrong in my country, I just cannot keep quiet and Okay about it..” Let me rephrase in Bahasa..Memang ada banyak kelemahan dalam system Negara kita…sesungguhnya Encik Wee, mencarut dan memperlekehkan agama/bangsa lain bukan la sal

My raya story

Eid has always been the moment that I look forward to. Simply because of the colours and the family reunion.. (and as usual,I was still stuck at the office the day before raya.. being the only Malay, my body is the only physical evidence of my presence, but my mind & soul was already with the kids) This year was a totaly different routine for both me and my other half. Father in law is currently bed ridden and can no longer walk to perform the Solat Aidilfitri...Semoga cepat sembuh Abah! To MIL, mama : thank you for taking care of abah patiently. I just miss those younger days where raya routine is about visiting the elderly. Where the morning start of with the mandi sunat aidilfitri (which we still practise still today-doubt that the cousins with hairdo perform this...saloon tak bukak pagi2). Then it'll be solat aidilfitri at the famous masjid keramat, then visit to rumah nenek Amanah, then visit kubur atuk at Taman Keramat & Ampang, Then to rumah nenek Ima at lorong kiri

Farewell Ya Ramadhan...A Sahlan Eid Mubarak

Ramadhan feels too short this time I wasn't able to fully take advantage this round.. Too occupied with my duniawi official work (syukur la kamu wahai ya suri rumahtangga..) Alhamdulillah I only missed one tazkirah, though (but the set back was it was my favourite ustaz Badirul Amin) Ramadhan has ended But what lessons did I learn this time? "Ya Allah, sekiranya ini Ramadhan ku yang terakhir, jadikan lah ia Ramadhan ku yang terbaik.." A short reminder to us.. To take benefit of 5 before the 'other' 5 1. the youth before the old age 2. the health before the sickness 3. the wealth before the poverty 4. the free time before the pre-occupation 5. the life before the death I'm grateful for all your blessings Ya Allah, ..amongst them is for being able to see the lovely faces everyday

Will you?

It was an odd moment when I just had to spit this from my mouth ...(Ni semua gara2 baca artikel " masih suami isterikah kita di akhirat?") Will you re-marry if I'm gone ? Instead of answering, he ask me back 'will u re-marry should I'm no longer in this world?' I refuse to answer back then But I know my reply would definetly be'Yes, I will...' I will re-marry.... Should there be a man that can be a father as good as you to our 3 kids.. Who will love them unconditionally like you do.. Should there be a guy that understand my intuition without me saying.. Should there be someone who can accept my weaknesses like you.. Should there be someone who can attend to my demanding needs like you.. Should there be someone who willing to live with my stubborness like you.. Should there be a man who can read my mind whether it's gonna be laksa, cendol or beef ginger noodle like you.. Should there be a man who can accept a woman who doesn't dress up or put on

Ya Ramadhan...Ya Kareem

Here comes the holy month..bulan yang ditunggu-tunggu.. The thing that most motivates me at work during this special month is the daily tazkirah & ceramah.. Alhamdulillah, havent missed a single day (when I'm at work lar)...and today's topic inspire me to write this.. I realize, as we grew older, priority in life has also change over time.. I'm glad that I still have people sorrounds me to keep me grounded, alhamdulillah. I used to think that my half dozen of Ferragamo is my prize possesion Now I dont even give a second glance at the boxes & they just stood there in the store I wore them on my feet anyway & there's nothing special about that I used to think that having had to buy the Gucci sling bag in Paris La Fayette boutique is one of the coolest thing that ever happen to me (lawaknye!? riyaknye?) Now to me it is just a bag, nothing greater than that I used to chase for a bigger house, with my garden and all But I realize that I am already in my dream cas

Sshhssshh...

Blog collecting web cob…again Have been very busy and tied up with the current project, definitely leaving this space ‘status quo’ for a while.. also missing reading bloggers blog-Zura’s, Iffil’s, Rizal’s etc… Spending on 12 hours at work on average (and the happiest moment would be lunch hour and time to go back!) My favourite quote ..”Ya Tuhan….” This too..shall pass. Thank you to my family for being by my side through high & low.. Penat seyy,,…. Will make up to hubby & kids during family trip nanti, InsyaAllah...

Happy birthday Haziq!

Happy Birthday My eldest boy May your birthday baby, Be happy and grand I could reminisce your arrival The long awaits finally over Having you in my arms Feeling more than finding a priceless treasure Praise the Almighty for you (your sister & your little brother too) For all the blessings For all the love brought into our life Happy birthday Muhammad Haziq May Allah swt bless you & instill you with akidah And victory in life & hereafter We love you ~ayah & ibu~

Sometimes (ulangan..)

Sometimes Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul. HE breaks our heart to makes us whole. HE sends us pain so we can be stronger. HE sends us failure to makes us humbler. HE sends us illness so we can take care of ourselves. Sometimes, ALLAH takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything Allahuakbar! Give me strength...Come to my assistance, oh Ya Allah!

smokey

"I wonder how does it taste when those smoke going thru my lungs, my air way passage and I simply l0ve the way those ladies holding the rokok,...ada style lar "... then other half spit it out " isk.. merepek you ni!" This curiousity growing stronger.. could it be associated with my latest coffee addiction? Yup, I started drinking coffee recently (few months actually). It all started when vendors & consultant keep bringing starbucks in meetings & workshops (I consume but I swear I have never buy any of that pro israelis brand!)..For someone who usually drinks cammomile tea at dome & sunrise orange at coffee bean, this is a BIG change! I find coffee somehow stimulates the brain to be more alert, more enegertic. I no longer feel sleepy during back to back meeting marathon & I always feel 'full' (less passion for food & kurang makan?) I'm still exploring whther this is just a mindset or its actually the caffeine that doing it's thing.

riddle diddle do

Haziq : Ibu, dalam banyak2 pokok, pokok ape yang orang takut? Ibu : pokok berani? (* dalam hati* here comes the silly willy riddle again) Haziq : pokok tumbang lar.... Haziq : Ibu, kalau monyet naik motor, orang naik aper? Ibu : Basikal? Haziq : Isk, orang naik hairan la.. monyet mana naik motor Ibu : Ok, ok..ibu punya turn lak..dalam ramai2 ibu, ibu sapa paling cun? Haziq :Ibu Haziq lar !!!!! Dah la cun pastu Ibu masak lamb grill & spaghetti paling best in the whole wide world.. Ibu : *malu* Haziq : Ha..my turn, what do you call ears in Arabic? Ibu : eerrrrr.....

You can mess with me, BUT don't mess with my momma!!

*Hope the above title caught reader's attention.. * This is significantly in conjunction with the Mother's day in Sunday, May 7 ( Yes Haziq, the date changed every year because it will be celebrated on 2nd Sunday of May..hence no specific date ) To my children, I am so very sorry for haven't been involve with you lovely kids 24x7 But rest assured that my love is beyond that ..and not a single breath that I took without a thought of you in my mind I love you with every single fibre of my being And I thank Allah swt the Almighty for blessing me with such a wonderful kids like you To Haziq, thank you for your doa for both ibu & ayah after solat ( nak nangis ibu dengar Haziq doa untuk kami :) nanti ajar adik2, Ok? and thank you for leading the nite prayers for the family To Nazurah & Hazim; I love you bam bam! For my mother, Terima kasih mak for raising me & my 3 other cool brothers (I think you deserve more than what I can afford to write) I may not shower you wit

My girl is 3!

To the sweetest girl In all of the land May your birthday baby Be happy & grand Nazurah is the name we give The name symbolizes a leader You presence wash away all the grieve And I know my love for you is forever I am so thankful To have a daughter like you There’s no other in this world That can fill your shoe You are my caring & giving You are a real joy to behold Watching you as years pass As your talents unfold You leave memories & contentment Throughout these years As this quite often Bring my happy tears Praise Allah the almighty I am grateful for my family May our life be blessed eternally And for all to live happily Happy Birthday to my darling daughter Nazurah Ibu & ayah love you so very much (same goes to the boys too!) Terima kasih Tuhan swt for this wonderful life, alhamdulillah.

BB.. What is that?

There are many abbreviation out there which have multiple meaning. For example, a 'HP' will indicates a vendor to an IT person while it means a loan product to the business team. Another simple example one goes like this; If you talk BB to Iffil, he may talk wonders of the mobile gadget BB=Blackberry If you mention BB to Alin, she would happily tell you the difference between Elianto, Silky Girl or Face Shop BB=Blemish Balm If you saw a BB on my sms to other half, that means I'm being nice :) , I'm always nice what? BB=Baby UKM undergrads who lives in BB means they are not staying in the campus vicinity BB=Bandar Baru Bangi The illegal DVD seller who gives a two thumbs up as a BB will make the 'hamsap' customer happy BB=Barang Baik Some of the naughty team in the office will send a big BB to a job request, which simple mean... Boley Blah! (Don't ever practise this.. Bad manners nih)

Celebrating...one of the many joy in my life

Image
Happy first Birthday to the one of my sweetest boy The two sweetest in all of the land May your birthday baby be happy and grand For baby has brought pleasure Into all our lives I love you forever May Allah the Almighty bless our life Have no fear my boy Proud parents will always pray for you InsyaAllah, this life, you will make it through I love you more than I have words To express or say May Allah be with you Every night and day Selamat Hari jadi Muhammad Hazim.. Semoga menjadi anak yang soleh..(Sorry for the last minute small celebration sayang, If God swt permit, we'll have a proper one like abang & kakak first birthday when ayah is done with his classes & exam, insyAllah) ~ibu Haziq, Nazurah & Hazim~

Last 2 weeks has been ultimately hectic.. Sangat-sangat penat! This is especially with flu and cold accompanying me. Truly a month to remember. Despite having to spend quality time with kids during the middle east & Singapore trip, I miss them terribly at work. Honestly, I am not one of the parents who would go for 2nd, or 3rd honeymoon. (As for hubby's official outbound trip, no matter how important it was, I would rather not follow him if the kids can’t come along). Like hubby said, a trip/vacation suppose to make us happy, but it would be pointless without kids because they are our happiness. Many has suggest to leave the kids behind for holy land trip.. but Zalia in Riyadh has strongly encouraged, she even share some tips ..(InsyaAllah anak2ku, jika diizinkan Allah swt). Holy land is still on top of the list (still ‘menabung’ nih!) Mission almost accomplished for trip checklist this year.. yup! Covered the 3 places in a month. Despite returning from Lion City the night befo

February gone

Image
February gone too soon Time flies too fast this time But it was sailing fine Because of many holidays And the short working days February gone too soon was it because I was away? In UAE, Kuwaiti land, KL and Singapore The places that I have been wishing for So 70% of checklist I have score! February gone too soon May be because March already peeping through? Can’t even wait for another day Especially because my birthday is coming And wondering what will I be getting? Hihihi… Life has been so blessed..syukur Ya Allah.

Off mating season?

Imej ihsan google I've blogged about this couple of years back, just have to say this..., the 'season' is on again..!! A recent tele-conversation with a friend goes like this... '.. Ok, bye for now..send my regards to your missus' .. '.. me & missus are no longer toghether Nana!, we've got divorce last week!' 'errr ...*speechless*' My thinking was, wah! he was saying it happily.. sukanye dia! (2 months after that, an accidental bump in a photographer website explained the whole thing..) Off late many marriages ended tragically.. it hurts, because those are the people I know.. :(.. and it scares the hell out of me. Let's go through the list of common reason that came to these 2 ears. ( Ini adalah pendapat peribadi semata-mata, tiada dipengaruhi mana-mana pihak ):- 1) Irreconcilable differences Hard to accept, why? sebab bercinta macam nak rak bertahun-tahun, marriage last when the little kid only started teething? 2) 'Third Party'

I’m BAD, I’m BAD!

(Those who have closely follow my blog would understand what this entry is all about..) Oooohh I’m so bad, Posting my heart out Not using my mind Till cause some hardship To the unintended one (Refering to rumah ‘Kota Damansara’ which addressed to KAKAK itu but cousin pulak terasa-nangis katanye. BTW KAKAK itu pun has already send one of her kids to some elite private school, yeay!) Ooooh I’m so bad Calling people’s name in my blog For clearing the gossiping about my loved ones But end up I am the one seeking an apology Even though the juicy story is about me (Refer to ‘Lita’ story.. shouldn’t I stand by my love ones?) Ooooh I’m so bad For standing by my principle out loud Not knowing what the impact would be For being silence all my life Until I post something in this space (Refer to the silence mode..kekadang lupa “cheraken” ayat nenek!) Ooooh I’m so bad For letting them talking about me For causing them leaving provoking comments in my blog For not having any feelings towards their

May be? May be not?

FB reconnects me with many friends around the globe..and I always wonder how does it feel to be away from home for so long like them. In the recent trip to Dubai, we met another Malaysian friends working there..and like others, they share their experience working in foreign land. I would say that my brother's departure to oil land is a different situation.. I guess he made the decision partly because he knows that our parents are in the good hand of the remaining siblings back home; abang, nami & myself (puji sendiri) Can I be like them? I don’t think so.. ( penghijrahan kawan2 ke Kulim pun sudah cukup meng'teruja'kan kan saya ) And I remember having sleepless nite when other half were reconsidering the Bahrain's offer. Why not? Let me see, my list goes like this:- 1) Called me old fashioned but I need to be surrounded by family..my parents, brothers, sisters, in laws, nephew nieces.. I already spend many years fulfilling the 'educational' requirement..and i

Home...it feels good to be here again..

My 10 days middle east escapade has finally ends. I am home. The place I belong. I had fun & I think the pictures in my fb explained everything... The last minute travel plan was smooth alhamdulillah (but I think my parents would be serik to travel with my 3 kiddies again)...and just soo happy to see Uncle Lan & family. Arab land was sure an expensive country. Dubai was truly a cosmopolitan city while Kuwait is far from what I imagined. The land was filled with hummer, lamborghini & Ferraris! Will write more bout my trip.. still jetlagging (kerana orang jakun ini sudah lama tidak 'terbang'). Seronoknya da balik..especially when laksa is just a few minutes away :)

Mental development

2010 begins with hectic schedule.. Too hectic that even a visit to the loo is getting lesser. Hadoi, if it is gonna be like this all they way, I'm going to age faster than I should be. Blogging put on hold but I still drop a line or two in fb. Thanks to mobile technology (bb & 3gs to be exact), photos uploading made easy. It's still a long way ahead. Still a law abiding citizen.. Praying for more good things to come, insyaAllah. ..and to continue to start each day by appreciating, being grateful to the Almighty swt for all the blessing. Alhamdulillah... Thank you Yoi for reminding us to be thankful with what we have.
