hmmmmm....

Suddenly this came across my mind. What makes you blog? Does blogging serves your purpose: a digital diary maybe, or some sort like a scrap book that you can check (the archive i mean) what you've jotted in the past time?

Well for me it depends on the owner itself. Anyway, it's your blog: so suka hatila nak buat apa pun kan? I blog for fun, (sebab tu selalu x update heee). Some people blog for business (marketing strategies), some people blog to share their opinion n to voice out their concerns, to share with public what their life are like, what they do everyday bla bla..some blogs give good tips on cooking, babycare, grooming, health-concious, politics and so on

Just now i browsed one regular blog i visited, and i can smell 'a war' there. Hmmm..should i say perang mulut or somethin? When readers/visitors comment something that may hurt the bloggers, start la berbalas2 comment which bila baca merah jugela telinga and (or) muka...

Well, face the music..you open your blog to public and expect everybody to compliment, to say oh i agree with you, or to say what a good writing you have done! Of course that won't happen. Sebab ramai manusia dimuka bumi jenis yang hasad dengki n asyik x puas hati je tgk org lain bergembira..biasala tu kan..

Sebab tu ada ramai jugak blogger yang restrict the access only to invited readers aje..so boleh la dia control the readers. Hmmm comment pun boleh tapis dulu sebelum being viewed inside the blog. That sounds more practical, aite? So bloggers yang open the blog to public? Why should you be so offensive when it comes to things like this? it's the risk, and of course you have way to settle it. Restrict aje access..Biar padan muka org yg comment jahat2 tu x dpt baca lg heee. Sometimes i feel sympathy for them, but actually it's you to decide how it should be managed.

Morale of the story, selamba badak aje la...klu nk ramai org baca (and comment) your blog, open it to public, or else restrict aje access.

note: saya menghabiskan masa standby di satu tempat and have to stay here till 12am, national interest punya reason la konon..tu yg merapu ni..bosan! me want to go home!!!!!

My Birthday was on 15th of Feb!

Your Birthdate: February 15

You take life as it is, and you find happiness in a variety of things. You tend to be close to family and friends. But it's hard to get into your inner circle. Making the little things wonderful is important to you, and you probably have an inviting home. You seek harmony with others, but occasionally you have a very stubborn streak. Your strength: Your intense optimism Your weakness: You shy away from exploring your talents Your power color: Jade Your power symbol: Flower Your power month: June

p/s: thank you very much for all the wishes, the cakes, and also the surprise party!

10 months old Ustazah Qaisara ;)

Qaisara turns 10 months old on 8th of Feb, a day after her Babah's birthday. Am very happy to see her progressing well, and can't wait to feel 'oh penat nya mengejar anak berlari'

Anyway, Qaisara's Tok Jah (Tok mama's sister) bought her a very nice scarf, for her to wear..looks so decent when she wears it, tapi sesekali macam anak indon pun ada jugak heee.

Before

After

Semoga Qaisara menjadi anak yang solehah..Amin

--12 Muharam 1429

Maal Hijrah 1429

MUHARAM adalah bulan pertama dalam tahun Islam (Hijrah). Sebelum Rasulullah berhijrah dari Makkah ke Yathrib, kiraan bulan dibuat mengikut tahun Masihi. Hijrah Rasulullah memberi kesan besar kepada Islam sama ada dari sudut dakwah Rasulullah, ukhuwwah dan syiar Islam itu sendiri.

Pada asasnya, Muharam membawa maksud 'diharamkan' atau 'dipantang', iaitu Allah SWT melarang melakukan peperangan atau pertumpahan darah. Namun demikian larangan ini ditamatkan setelah pembukaan Makkah (Al Baqarah: 91). Sejak pemansuhan itu, umat Islam boleh melaksanakan tugas dan ibadat harian tanpa terikat lagi dengan larangan berkenaan.

Peristiwa-peristiwa penting di bulan Muharam:

1 Muharam - Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab mula membuat penetapan kiraan bulan dalam Hijrah.
10 Muharam - Dinamakan juga hari 'Asyura'. Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran:

• Nabi Adam bertaubat kepada Allah.
• Nabi Idris diangkat oleh Allah ke langit.
• Nabi Nuh diselamatkan Allah keluar dari perahunya sesudah bumi ditenggelamkan selama enam bulan.
• Nabi Ibrahim diselamatkan Allah dari pembakaran Raja Namrud.
• Allah menurunkan kitab Taurat kepada Nabi Musa.
• Nabi Yusuf dibebaskan dari penjara.
• Penglihatan Nabi Yaakob yang kabur dipulihkkan Allah.
• Nabi Ayub dipulihkan Allah dari penyakit kulit yang dideritainya.
• Nabi Yunus selamat keluar dari perut ikan paus setelah berada di dalamnya selama 40 hari 40 malam.
• Laut Merah terbelah dua untuk menyelamatkan Nabi Musa dan pengikutnya dari tentera Firaun.
• Kesalahan Nabi Daud diampuni Allah.
• Nabi Sulaiman dikurniakan Allah kerajaan yang besar.
• Hari pertama Allah menciptakan alam.
• Hari Pertama Allah menurunkan rahmat.
• Hari pertama Allah menurunkan hujan.
• Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
• Allah menjadikan Luh Mahfuz.
• Allah menjadikan alam.
• Allah menjadikan Malaikat Jibril.
• Nabi Isa diangkat ke langit.

Marilah berdoa dihujung 1428H:


Doa Akhir Tahun dibaca 3 kali pada akhir waktu Asar atau sebelum masuk waktu Maghrib pada akhir bulan Zulhijjah. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata:

"Kesusahan bagiku dan sia-sia lah pekerjaanku menggoda anak Adam pada setahun ini dan Allah binasakan aku satu saat jua. Dengan sebab membaca doa ini, Allah ampunkan dosanya setahun"

Tidak lupa juga berdoa meraikan kedatangan 1429H:

Doa Awal Tahun dibaca 3 kali selepas maghrib pada malam satu Muharram. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata:

"Telah amanlah anak Adam ini daripada godaan pada tahun ini kerana Allah telah mewakilkan dua Malaikat memeliharanya daripada fitnah Syaitan"

SEMOGA TAHUN BARU MEMBERI LEBIH KEBERKATAN KEPADA KITA, AMIN

Qaisara is 9 months old today

It's Friday

Yes, it's Friday. Am thinking of going to TGI's Friday, tapi siapa yang sudi membawaku? Hinted him last week during our outing to Pavilion, watching The Kingdom. Tapi tak dapat pun. And owh, JCO Donuts @ Pavilion really make me crazy! *drool*

Soo not in the mood. Mixed feelings today. Why eh? Btw, it's mogok week. Ah-ha, no wonder i'm not in the mood. Maybe.

I'm worried of something. It's a good thing people might say, but for me it's a oh-no-i'm-not-ready-yet thingy. Let's give it to the ONE to decide.

Please pray for me so that i can feel happier and relaxer, and please also get me the JCO donuts!

--moody n not happy

A short post

i have a friend, MAZLAN namanya. We studied at the same uni, taking the same course. Tapi masa tu dia majoring in System Eng, and i chose Software Eng [but at the end both of us terjun ke area network engineering]. After graduating, we both pursued our C***O network professional course and still, in the same class :P (what a co-incidence)

Now, we are working at the same company. What a mate: coursemate-->officemate. And yesterday, my very mate ni telah pun selamat diijabkabulkan with her soulmate. Ramainyee yang officemate lain yang datang. And owh, it was my first time to taste buffalo beef. Very the...SEDAP!

So happy for you mate! Congratulations!!!

p/s: unmanaged to capture even single pic. Enjoy our pics here (courtesy of mahertac)

Puppy Love, Eternal Love

Everybody! I'm celebrating my 10th anniversary of courtship with my husband! Yes, today.

Since we get married, there's no more celebration on the 14th, as the date has changed to every 2nd of June. (It's our solemnization)..so no more celebration la today..[i always wanted to..tapi tak ada org nak layan :( ]

10 years back was exactly in the year of 1997 and i was still, in form 5. We were in the same school, but i didn't know of his existence until we were in form 4. Being in different class, lagila tak kenal kan...the story began when both of us were chosen as our school magazine editorial board (where i was appointed as his assistant, masa tu dia jadi ketua editor of the magazine)--oh my, can't believe i'm writing this :P

Quoting our teacher's say when any of the editorial board asking permission to go out of the class for meeting or something: "Buat majalah sekolah ni satu tahun tak habis, busy sampai hujung tahun"--->ahaha, that reflected us: satu tahun tu jumpa, meeting, cari sponsor, photography session, covered story for any particular event happening at school(ye lah, kan nak msk kan cerita tu dalam majalah :P ) and so on...so that 1 whole-year-activities that made us need to meet each other every now and then had created the 'spark' between us (or should i say: dah memang gatal, kecik2 dah pandai nak mengorat ^_^)

Can't really remember when, but for sure somewhere in that year, i received a letter from the Ketua Editor! kwang kwang...i took quite few days to reply, (and menggelabah la jugak si ketua editor tu..takut2 if i let other people read the letter). Tapi masa tu, we considered the letter was only a letter to a friend, not love letter tau (walaupun dalam hati sendiri mmg define that as surat dpd boifren huhu). We only declared ourselves as lover on 14th of Nov 1997 (yikes! at the age of 17?) . That was the starting point, bringing us together until this day..maleh la elaborate panjang2..nnt jadi novel la pulak kan..

Huah! Am i writing all this? (still in disbelief)

Anyhow, I'm dedicating this to my beloved husband with a wish:

I love you, and only you. Happy our 10th Anniversary, dear!

Face Painting @ Damia's Birthday

Last Friday was one of Qaisara's nursery-mate birthday, and guess what: we enjoyed face painting activities! All kids were having much fun, except...Qaisara (appeda conteng2 muka sikit pun takmo ^_^)

Birthday celebrations are always held at this nursery, as most of the kids (which birthday falls on weekdays) spend almost the whole day there..so every month mesti ada big makan2, i think it's kinda happening having party with a lot of kids there.

Sweet Seven Ardini Damia

Time were quite limited for the celebration, (it was during Friday Prayer break, Damia's mum n me had to get back to work at 2.30) so the painting design was among the simplest..Managed to snap few pics with my handphone, but i missed the lil Spidey-Aiman and few more.

Painted faces, see Qaisara with the boringest look? hehe

'i hate face painting :( '

Qaisara: look at her face expression in sequence, looked like he hate the face painting the most! Haha, apalah anak mama ni.

Anyway, happy birthday to all celebrating it this month, especially to Qaisara's Grandma this coming 25th Nov!

Qaisara's Nightmare: Meeting Dr Christopher Lim

Not feeling well

A week after raya, we brought Qaisara to meet her paeds. Kesian my lil baby ni..her airways is too sensitive: that causes cold, wheezing and sneezing to happen very easily. To my surprise: Qaisara needs to take ventolin (to be inhaled for 5 days) and also Seretide (to be inhaled for 3 months). Ada lagi: Singulair (to be taken for 7 days) and one more (can't really remember the name, to be taken for 3 days) Hopefully after this, no more medication...

Siannye Qaisara!

Selamat Hari Raya!!!

~Mari bermaafan di Hari Raya~

Raya sebulan..INDEED! Last Sunday (dated 11/11) was finally how our 'raya kan sebulan' ended..still, 3 open house to attend (and of course to collect duit raya Qaisara ngeheheh). Very tiring, hectic raya this year. Weekends were full with open house and raya hopping (i didn't manage to settle even basic house chores on weekend, raya punya pasal la kan.. *wink*

However we had much fun! You know what, raya with your own baby defines new feelings: Semangat kutip duit raya!!! Qaisara managed to get around RM 800 (exact amt need to check with her Babah cum En bendahari). OK la tu, for beginner..next year kita kutip lagi..hehe

Qaisara's 1st raya experience

Babah Qaisara was really keen with Raya Hopping 10AM-10PM concept this year (and mama pun terpengaruh juge). We had raya hopping for our school friends and my office team-mate (dunno why hubby's office raya hopping x jadi).

My team-mate Raya Hopping

Itu saje cerita raya...now, back to work!

ehehehe

OOhh i'm so in love!
