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.
1. Nayli's sitting for her SPM. A stressful month for her..and us too. We pray hard to Allah the Almighty to be with us all the time, and please...please let her do it with flying colours.
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.

Colorful & lively

Too many blacks, greys and browns in my wardrobe so far...and I'm thinking of switching to some lively colours for a change. I'm attracted to these designs by Junko Shimada..they are very simple and stylish, with no sexy notes if worn with long pants. The loose cutting and legth that lands nicely below the hips, its long sleeves and high / covered necks. Just purrfect for a hijabi ;-)

Happy birthday to me..

-22 September-

Alhamdulillah,
Another year older, and I grow even bolder. Thanks to Allah swt for allowing me to live on this earth and have what and who I have now. Letting go of past rage and pain, living life and feeling sane. Life hasn't been so bad..

Thanks to my beloved hubby and children for making my life so meaningful. To my sibblings and friends who are there to listen and cheer or even cry with me. Million thanks for the birthday presents, I love them all ;-)

Z said, this is a special year. So, 2 bottles of fragrances for me as a bonus, and should last me for a long, long time ;-)

thanks for this beautiful VS make-up bag, Normie (she's my partner in crime). I likeeee

birthday cake & celebration @ the office pantry.. thanks to the gurlfriends!

Ouww, and to my loving sista...for d "you-must-take-whether-you-like-or-not" lovely Bonia mocassins.. hahaha, LOL! Will put that up too later!

Lesson learnt

That was a huge and not-so-smart (stupid?) mistake I have done that almost ruined my life again. Big mouth = disaster. And so it was, close to a disaster!

Can't help thinking about it over and over again. If love is stupid, then what's not? If jealousy is stupid, then what's not? Maybe the answer is..be modest in everything. Jangan over! But again, if speaking the truth is stupid, then what's not? Keeping my mouth shut and get hurt inside? Is that smart?

I dunno, but lesson learnt here is... use the head more, not just the heart.. Alhamdulillah, Allah showed me the way to fix things that I've screwed up. There goes my ego, down the drain. But, here I am, smiling...for I've done the craziest thing any creature in this whole wide world could have ever imagined to safe the situation.

Astaghfirullah hal Azim..

Phew...it's pretty dusty in here! Haven't stopped by for quite sometime already, I guess I better start with some cleaning, polishing and scrubbing, hahaha!

Have i been too busy? Nope... Too lazy, maybe... Ok, so let's see how I can get started again.. Hmm...
