It's New Year

New Year? Happy New Year? What's the significance of these wishes ... we need the good wishes everyday in our life. And in fact we can request for it ... from whom .... ALLAH ... it's the place for us to beg and appeal. No others can fulfill our wishes except HIM, ALLAH, the only god.

I've never never agree to those wishes .... tapi bawak jugak le anak2 tengok bunga api, only to appreciate the beauty & at the same criticising the money spent on it. However, I admit new year comes with new landscape of life. It happens to me too.

Kids are now in morning school sessions. Nur #1, already in Form three, therefore goes to morning session. Nur#2 and my only Muhammad were transferred to Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi, Seksyen 7, Shah Alam, it's a one session school which integrates both academic and islamic in one school session. Good for them, hopefully. At least they do not need to rush to switch from secular school uniform to islamic school uniform. And they're also already at home by 5pm everyday - enough time for them to enjoy the playground everyday. Emmm ... a new landscape of life to the mother (it's me). I've to slightly adjust my routine. I normally cook for dinner after work but not now. Now I have to make sure the meals are ready before i leave for office - penat tu, terkejar2 dan mengejar2. But, i'm sure it's just a small matter. Many mothers have done it before.

About transferring them to SRAI ..... I hesitated at first because thinking about not well-trained teachers (but, it's a hearsay), the high teacher's turn over due to low pay, less infra & bla, bla, bla .... but when I give a deep thought over the matter and a heavy discussion over the pros and cons with my husband, we decided to transfer them anyway. It's because the 'tarbiyah' that we hope the kids will be able to get from the curriculum. I pray hard to ALLAH to grant our desire to transfer them to SRAI only if it's good for them and their akidah. When we got it (a place in SRAI), I'm sure Allah has granted us the best for our kids. Semoga anak-anakku menjadi anak-anak yang soleh dan solehah, yang beriman kepada Allah & Rasul hingga ke akhir hayat. Amin.

Nur#1 sitting for her PMR this year, I have to turn to headmaster when night comes. Not only to read articles, student's report, exam papers, now I also need to check her school work. Well, it's a mother's sacrifice .... & obligation.

Therefore my daily routine now:
6.00am: solat subuh
6.15am: wake the children, and start preparing breakfast + food to bring to school
7.00am: Wait for the bus with the two younger kids. (bukannya jauh pun, depan pagar rumah je...)
7.20am: Send husband-off to office (isteri mithali ..... bye bye suami gi kerja uhuk uhuk uhuk)
7.20am: Hang clothes & start cooking
8.20am: Getting ready for office
6.oo-6.30pm: Back from office to see them ready for dinner
8.00pm: Watch them with their school work
10.00pm: Clean-up the kitchen
11.00pm: Fold clothes
12.00pm: Dozzzzzzzzeeeee offffffff..................... very tired.

Semoga ada ganjarannya buatku di sana asalkan ada keikhlasan dalam hati berbakti untuk suami dan anak-anak kerana Allah.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
