aidilfitri..the ambush!!

Last friday..My family n I've been invited to attend intan's open house. Don't know lah..why intan buat open house on Friday evening..it ends up we all dok melepak until 1am..the best part, the kids langsung tak mengantuk....

On saturday, we wnt to selayang to visit my hubby's auntie..teruknya jam..it takes 2 hours from usj to selayang..mcm nak pergi melaka lah pulak..we drop by at mdors punya kedai cermin mata kat bandar selayang..bila sampai je..I can see that she has something in her mind...and right before I balik she said..esok jom pergi rumah nori..and we all pun plan lah..not to inform nori.

I suppose to jumpa maroha since she just came back from melbourne..lama tak jumpa dia..,but she has stuck in Shah Alam and I have to stop by at another friend's house at Taman Dagang..itu pun take 2 hours from selayang to taman dagang,,,gile..ngeh..ngeh..ngeh...

Then I informed maroha, that mdor n I plan to ambush nori's house, roha pulak cakap ajaklah dee sekali..we all pun ajak lah dee.it's hujan lebat..but ambush tetap ambush..after pusing2 cari jalan suakasih 3 bandar tun hussein onn..jumpalah, very nice house...baik jer..sampai kat pagar rumah nori I called her.."nori ko ada kat rumah ke, buat apa tu..bukak pintu jap..aku ada kat luar pagar rumah ko ni.." kekekekek Berjaya!!!..missi nak ambush nori..tu pun dia tak tau lagi roha pun ada n dee on the way to her house.

kat rumah nori..udang n rendang mak dia dah sedia dah..macam tau2 jer..tu yg best.

balik dr rumah nori, roha n i went to rumah mak datin dina kat semenyih selepas sesat-sesat...heh...nasib baik sampai..dina yg sarat nak beranak tu masih sempat melayan kitorang ni..

seronoknya raya tahun ni...alhamdullillah..hopefully still got chances till raya next year..

Aidilfitri this year..

Alhamdulillah...syukur..

Aidilfitri, recently bring true and new meaning of celebration to me, I mean in my 30s..normally aidilfitri just like normal family occassions... all this while I celebrate aidilfitri but this year it is much different. This year I went back to Kuantan, last year I celebrate in KK. My sister in law in KK said, their aidilfitri this year quite slow since they moved to new housing area and nobody came to raya like when they were in Kg Masjid, Telipok KK. But still..they were happy since celebrating it in new house, double story..congratulation to Ida, Fey and Ley (my sisters in law)..willing to share to buy this house since their house in kg Masjid telipok has been demolished due to government land issues.

Tuesday before aidilfitri, I cooked rendang daging and kuah kacang and my sister, amy cooked rendang ayam. This year, we cooked ourselves in the front yard of my parent's house..my mom's just gave instruction to us..quite fun.

1st raya after zohor we went back to Kg Ganchong, Pekan and 2nd raya going back to Kota Gelangi Jerantut. On 2nd raya, my aunti cu Asiah who came back from Saudi Arabia (She worked as nurse for +-1 year) brought back daging unta n my makcik robiah cooked masak lemak daging unta for us...quite special hahahah..then we've been served with rendang daging pelanduk campour daging kerbau...ahahahahhah...so on that day I have all kinds of meat in my stomach..

then we came back to KL on saturday. no traffic jam as usual..and my brothers n sister who lived in Penang (3 of them) spent one nite before continue their journey to penang...

this year, I went for solat aidilfitri and pray right beside my mother, for the 1st time, and the khutbah given by my primary school classmate ustaz ridzuan bin mohd yussof...

syukur I've been given chances to enjoy all these..

When perfect disaster strike!

Assalamualaikum,

Having own business is not easy. Trying too hard to satisfy client infinity needs doesn't mean they really happy. Maybe they will for split seconds, but then..it still depend in our capability to keep it.

On top of that, it involves many. You suppliers, assistant, and as freelancer your helpers come all over the world...though communication is not a boundary but still..we have different timing, diferent sunrise and sunset...

Then, when perfect disaster strike...what can you do? You can't blame others, you can't blame different sunrise n sunset, you can't blame your server provider...it's you to blame. Sorry En. Jeff...the launch of masum.com.my is disaster....

Tribute to all muslimah.

A Trip to SRI SERUMPUN SPA...

This is Kak Niza..

Assalamualaikum wbt...

I spent my Sunday Afternoon at Kak Niza's Spa, SRI SERUMPUN...I went to a spa few times but this is different. Maybe because we know each other and Ayu, kak Niza's assistant really nice and experienced, so the facial n pedicure experienced were more relax and casual.

Sri Serumpun Malaysia Holistic Spa, located at Mutiara Damansara. For me, it is a nice place to relax and to let your body beeing pampered. The most important, this is Muslimah Spa so, you no need to worry about being asked to wear disposable thong like what practices by other non-muslim spa.

I like the way Ayu did my face. I think RM45 for 1 and half hour more than worth it. And she is very good in massaging my face n my double chin ..(he..he..) as well...Part from that, Sri Serumpun also has boutique that offers wide range of female clothing, accessories, etc.
And the way Shira massage by big left leg (kak niza..urut kuat sikit lagi ye..) really makes my blood run through! Need to go there again...Would like to invite u as well. You can call Kak Niza for appointment at 0133449517.

I am also amazed with Kak Niza's strong will to run a spa n boutique..a lady that used to be a credit controller now have move forward yer..kak. Should invite Tengku (Her ex-boss) to come.. n bring his wife..(got wife ke?) Congratulations to Kak Niza, may your effort will be berkat from Allah swt.

Part and parcel of life...

Assalamualaikum wbt,

I went back to Kota Kinabalu last week to attend my dear sister in law (Solehah Moksin - may she become solehah wife as her name!!) wedding. This pretty sister became somebody's wife already, upgrading herself to Puan Solehah Moksin. I am in the middle of downloading her wedding pictures to my laptop, lots and lots of them..will share with all of you later.

We have chances to visit Pulau Manukan, subhanallah..what a nice view..thanks to Awang Ku Mohd Rodzan from Sabah Parks who has arranged for free boat fees two ways from Jesselton Point Jetty, for 8 persons...if Rm 30 per head X 8...hmmm...may you murah rezeki awang!

then, as usual we went to Kundasang and Ranau. My dream to climb Gunung Kinabalu have to be put on hold since my dearest husband keep telling me "you must be 100% fit to go up there, not easy tau...last time when I went up there for the 2nd time, I have no problem to climb up but my knee so aching on the way down....." and few more not so encouraging stories. But I will be up there..tengok lah...

Few good things happen, Kartini from Perth put bulk order on Muslimah Chantik Collections, we also on our way to have own brand, MC Jeans,the denim blouse also on the way, the sample was done..and I am happy with the workmanship...alhamdulillah.

PDS network website also done you can visit them at www.pdsnetwork.biz, now I am doing www.sriserumpun.com (boutique and spa) and also www.masum.com.my, website for umrah and islamic travel fair..organised by MATTA.

Everything sounds great, I believe it is and really syukur for that...life so wonderful. Keep reciting ayat seribu dinar...insya allah, everything will be smooth, murah rezeki. Nowadays, everything so bizzare...oil price go up, rice go up, TNB go up, nothing is going down..( except the share market..of course!) but, still syukur...I told myself don't forget those who in needs, I was there once..and people said life is like a wheel..be prepared.

Not so good news, Jay's cousin is in critical situation in Hospital Tak Seng?? in Singapore. He has been diagnosed with lung cancer and in final stage. My father in law and his father flew from KK last week, and still in Sing till now. Now this cousin is 100% supported by machine, doctors pronounced TOD last nite but few hours later they said he's back..what a miracle?? And now again supported by machine.

We have been prepared for Qada n Qadar, I already contacted Muslim Cascade in Singapore. Thanks to Roha who has told me that if we transfer the human body by air cargo, they have to suck out all the body liquids, and I was shocked...totally forgot about it. I though it's only happen in US, but it is actually in international transportation law.

Jay n Abak (his cousin's brother) will go to SING to do what ever they can from there. K Amy in the process of getting all the related procedure from Balai Polis Bangi and I am in contact with En. Iskandar from Muslim Cascade Singapore.

We just pray the best for him. If better for him to 'go', we redho, and we hope he will go easily. If better for him to stay we pray that the best for him and he will be more in iman.

This cousin just about 27 years old. Never fall sick, just few weeks ago he got high fever and when his twin brought him to hospital and the doctors did test on his tissue sample, they confirmed it is final stage cancer..since then, all internal organs start to fail.

I think, we all ready for what ever circumstances. Just something to share, if Allah want to take us back, we don't know when..scary ..to think about it but have we prepare to see Him?

Wassalam.

Ramlee Awang Murshid & Ungu Karmila

Assalamualaikum,

He did it again. My family and I was at his home while he was writing his latest novel, Ungu Karmila. We stayed with him and his family for a month during last July. I don't really know when actually he wrote it, but maybe when others were sleeping. Though all the sleepless nite, he still can wake up early every morning and continue working at national broadcasting company, RTM. I admire his ambition, courage and spirit. Though he is now top or number 1 thriller writer in Malaysia, he is humble...he still driving his old repainted Proton Iswara WDJ****. He doesn't mind walks arround in public area, buy groceries and food from local stalls, and watch movies at his favourite spot in Kajang. Through the changes of his life, Allah showed me how He can transforms somebody's life from good to bad, from bad to good in a blink of second. And how with hard work and doa and tawakkal, Allah will answer our prayer...I know, that what Ramlee's (Abg Pek) keep doing. From nobody (who wear spider man t-shirt on his first date!!!) to somebody famous but he still keep his feet on the ground. He is!

May Allah bless Abg Pek, Kak Amy, Izuddin and the rest of family. Thank you for the book.

Say.... thank you, Allah.

Assalamualaikum,

In our busy routine, we forgot to say thank you to our Creator. We always look at our selves and compare it to those who are much better than us. We asked God, why they can have new car and we don't, why they easily can go travel overseas, while you only can afford to go local, and so many more of why......

I've been in both situations. I've been on top but I still compare myself with those richer than me and I've been down below and of course....I compare myself with those much better...and, that questions Why Me??? What else??, What's next?? easily comes out from my mouth.

Till I drop so deep down, then God, whom I always blame for what ever bad things happened to me, give me an answer. The answer that makes me realise, how wrong I am before, how I mess up my life with munafiq's habits.. nauzubillah...

Since then, I grew up. I change my life. I decided to be good, and things change accordingly. I got the idea to sell clothes online, though it haven't makes me local millionaire..heheh, but things go well. God then met me with Zaman, the great guy who have web hosting business, then God give me idea to teach friends to do online business, or at least to support and guide them on first few steps on doing business online...And I am happy with that.

Alhamdulillah, now we (me and Zaman, the web hosting guy..) busy with creating sample web site for UMRAH Travel Fair, then kainkurung.com (selling textile online) will come soon, then sis Niza, halal spa followed by few other things. Alhamdulillah, I am hands full!

I say my gatitude every moments now. I thank for great day I have, for being healthy and wealthy, for being success, for being loved and so many things..just do that, and God will give more. Say your prayer, everytime , everywhere. Remember that.

Goodbye Farra!

Assalamualaikum,

Last week, I went to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) just to say goodbye to my sister cum ex-office mate cum friend, Farra. She will migrate to other countries to stay with her husband. She's going to stay in a country that I believe not easy for anyone to make decision to live and stay, she's going to Kabul, Afghanistan. Unless she is working with NGO or Red Cross or Mercy or UN, otherwise people will think she's going nuts. Kabul?? What is there except her husband Sifatullah.

No one should judge her, no one should question her decission. As good muslimah, it is her must to follow her husband. It is! And that is what she is doing. I said goodbye to Farra without a shed of tears (I thought there will be drama with running tear drops like river at KLIA when we say goodbye!) but not single tear drop, because I knew she will be happy. Her place is right to her husband and I knew Sifatullah will take a good care of her. She so happy to see me and my family we haven't met for quite sometime after I quit my job. Alhamdulillah we still have Yahoo Messenger...

Few days after her flight to Kabul, we spoke in YM. She sound so happy and she said she never thought Kabul will be that pretty, though army and millitary everywhere and few tanks arround the corner, the rest is just normal. I asked her if she needs to wear Burqa as potrayed by those media, she said no one, no single woman that her met on the street in Kabul wear Burqa, they wear hijab, nice and proper covered they aurah, they wear make up, the woman can go to work, can shop, anything, the woman can do anything just same like us in Malaysia. So, where are those illustrations about how people in Kabul are suffering come from?

Farra said, no one is sufferring, no beggar, no drug addict, no nothing. Kabul practice Hudud, so no one there dare to steal because if one cought stealing even their neighbour has right to cut his hand!! And, just imagine she went to her husband office, with good office equipment plus (this is so not in Malaysia), there is a cook in the office. The cook start prepare lunch at 10am so by lunch hour everybody can eat together, the boss, the clerk, the cleaner, the executive they eat together, everyday..no one need to buy lunch. All on the boss!!! And we said ours is so good. Subhanallah... I am amaze on how such media give so much negative impression on Islamic country...they make us blind.

Attach photos of beloved Farra. She is pretty but she said all muslimah is Kabul much,much prettier than her. Next time when she email me photos of her life in Kabul, I'll let you have a look and we can have a real picture of Kabul, Afghanistan.

Wassalam.
