18 years full of love...

Alhamdulillah...18 years have passed and we're blessed with 3 lovely children and lots of love for each other. Looking back...I wonder how we ever made through all the obtacles together. It wasn't easy, and Allah knows...the whole period was full of testing moments for the 2 of us. Z always said that if we were to write a book on us, no one would ever believe how much we have been through. And to that, I agreed..

We almost lost each other. Almost. But Allah still wanted us to be together, so he gave Z a lot of patience to deal with me who at that point of time already stopped hoping. I thank my hubby for standing so close next to me during that difficult time and never gave up. When I was hard and cold, Z stayed on waiting. He didn't even complaint despite how I acted.

We always forget what we had until we lost it. But alhamdulillah, I came back to me senses before that happened...God knows how thankful I am today.

And I sincerely hope that our love for each other be blessed hingga ke akhir hayat, and hingga ke akhirat...We're seeing more rainbows nowadays...after the long rainy days. Hope to have more and to do more together...Ameen...

Out and about..

Gonna be busy these few days...Putri Sarah Liyana's wedding is just a few days away. And like others in the family, I have been given my special tasks...that is to be the "master" of the door gifts..hehe. And also to be the usher on the reception day.

Today, gotta run to the cake house to order the fruit tarts and make sure they are ready on Thursday evening. Then later to the bride's house to see what else I can help them with... Looks like I'll be home late, so Z shall stay home to accompany Nayli to study. Poor birthday girl, she has another 2 papers to go..Anyways, the birthday girl was already given a birthday dinner treat at Secret Recipe last nite. And Tasha gets the honour to also tompang sekaki ;-)

Not much of a celebration though..but it's the moments shared chatting, laughing and giggling together that means so much ;-)

It's new year...Ma'al Hijrah

Salam Ma'al Hijrah, it's the beginning of a new year full of hopes for me. Please ya Allah, please give me the courage and strength in this hijrah in becoming a better person...especially to YOU..my creator, to my family and to the society..

"Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light." (2:257)

002.286 On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith." Al-Qur'an, 002.286 (Al-Baqara [The Cow])

A glimpse of my November & December days

Many important things are happening in November and December.

2. Adam has got his UPSR result..Alhamdulillah, he scored straight A's... It pays all the effort ;-)
3. Tasha's and Nayli's birthdays. Happy birthday gals, I love you with all my heart. We will celebrate next year in February in a special place, ok.
4. Our 18th anniversary is coming soon in Dec...ooh, yeah.. 18 colourful years together, Z & me. Thanks Allah swt for all the great things you've granted us during these years..
5. Got my little car in November... Although not my dream car, but this will surely drive me towards my BIG DREAM.. Yes, go girl!
6. Adam accidently broke the LCD screen of my 6 mth old Lumix camera...sighh... Checked with the service centre and the LCD is gonna cost approximately RM300... ;-(
7. Ayang's wedding. It's mama's first grand daughter's wedding and everyone's looking forward to the big event. On our part, yuppp...the lace dresses for the girls are nicely done. Superb new tailor I got here! Cheers ;-)
8. Mama's birthday - 31st Dec... mudah-mudahan mama dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik dan bahagia selalu... I love you, ma..so much. More than I love myself..

And most importantly, at this moment when I'm updating my blog...I am fueled up with energy and enthusiasm to live a better life. These few days, in between catching up with my chores to send and fetch Nayli from school...I have accomplished significant little things like planning for my business, setting new goals and spending valuable time with Z and the kids... I'm happy and thank God for what I am and the great family I have... Alhamdulillah... May this continue and make me a better person.
