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 13, I can never forget the orange colour house with spacious land itu..
Then the journey of rombongan rumah ke rumah starts...(penat seh!)

Although the celebration is now difference, we still practise the tradition and shall passed to our next generation, insyaAllah. I would also like to instill to my kids that not everyone are fortunate to celebrate raya like us.. It's about sharing...(I guess they still too little to understand-the abang doesnt want to share duit raya, the sister gave away her duit raya (generous budak ni, mana duit2 dia pegi pun tak tau) and the little brother only wants the angpow packet and throw away the notes *haih*

All in all...it was a short ramadhan, short hari raya..tak puas rasanye. Abang Lan & family pun da balik (enjoy your Europe trip, I still envy the Jungfraujoch & St Moritz trip itu..)

Syukur for the blessings...and just cant wait for the official announcement before I can share the good news with others (Note : ini tiada kena mengena dengan pregnant).


To Muz & Nonoi: congrats for the rumah raya...
To Faiz & Titi: for the kete raya 5 series itu...
To Azura my friend: for the Audi4
To my nephew Iqmal : for the D90 present..best tu!

T@lentcorp-mari pulang ke Malaysia saudara, saudari

"I had never contemplated staying abroad ... Malaysia is home (to me)," says the affable Johan Mahmood Merican. In so many ways, the 37-year-old is the ideal person to be tasked with retaining and drawing talent back to Malaysia. As the recently-appointed head of Talent Corp Malaysia Bhd, that is exactly his mandate. As I was writing this, I am almost finished reading a book written by Ustaz Hasrizal “ Aku terima Nikahnya” . There is one chapter in his book, where he has written about how challenging life is back home in Malaysia compared to living abroad. He was reminiscing about the quality time he had with his family during their stay in UK and Scotland in comparison to the life in “tanahairku’. This post is about T@lencopr and life Malaysia. “ It’s almost 9.00pm there and you are still in the office?” asked my brother who called me all the way from middle east. Yes, life is not a bed of roses and I had to carry the guilt conscience with me every day to them…”them” are re

Celebrating Achievements at 50: A Journey of Resilience, Self-Care, and Countless Blessings

Life is a tapestry woven with diverse experiences, both triumphs and challenges. As I embrace the milestone of turning 50, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable journey that has led me here. From overcoming health struggles to navigating emotional heartbreak and embracing personal growth, this transformative period has shaped me in profound ways. Today, I celebrate the accomplishments and blessings that have emerged from continuous trials and tribulations, while keeping my faith in Allah (SWT) as my guiding light. 2021 The year that my life took an unexpected turn when I underwent a hysterectomy. Thank you my Cyrene & Joe for encouraging me in making this decision, finally after 6 years. Hehehe.. This journey tested my physical and emotional resilience, as I faced the challenges that accompany major surgery and hormonal changes. While the road to recovery was arduous, this experience taught me the value of perseverance and the strength that lies within. I emerged from this cha

In Loving Memory of Mama.. a cool garang MIL

I am obviously not the best daughter-in-law one could have. But  I’m the fun one! Hehehe…However, despite my shortcomings, I always held a deep respect for Mama. Your cooking skills were unparalleled, and I could never match your culinary expertise. But I do try my best to light the stove every now and then, attempting to recreate the flavors you so effortlessly created. Mama, I will never forget that moment when your medical test results came out. We didn't share them with anyone else. The world seems upside down, and all I could offer was my unwavering support and heartfelt prayers. It was an incredibly awkward moment when you asked me to bathe you. Little did I know that it would be the last time, as you took your final breath shortly after. I cherish that memory and feel grateful to have been able to care for you in your final moments. That last look you gave me is etched in my memory. As I informed you that I had to return to the office, unable to stay by your side in your h
