Perpisahan dan Pengorbanan

Salam all,

Today is already 3rd of January 2011. 'THE DAY' is approaching. Nearer each day. 6th will be the registration day. My eldest daughter will be leaving our comfortable nest to endeavour a new life - a hostel life. It's not easy to let her go. Not because she's a great domestic helper for me, but most importantly because I'm sure I'll miss her. And I know hostel life is a tough life, it is a 360 degree turn from a comfortable nest that she used to be in. But ... that is the sacrifices that we had to do. We want her to grow, no longer clinging to ibu for every single thing. She is a big girl now. She will soon be facing a more fiery world outside. Therefore, this a training for her, to learn, to see the other part of the world, other than what she has known all this while.

My dear Kakak,

This is dedicated for you. You should always remember that we always LOVE you and will always be. We send you off to the hostel not to punish you, what more to separate us, but we send you to the hostel so that you will be able to learn to live in a life without parents to consistently guiding you. To live a life without parents to daily reminding you of what should be and what should not be. It is to train you to become more responsible of your ownself.

My dear, my love,

Please take this opportunity to show that you can be the best. You are the cream of all. You can become a good muslim, mukminah solehah - even without me by your side. Here, far from your sight, Ibu will always near in your heart as my prayers will always go for you, for your good well beings, rahmah, 'izzah, and forgiveness from ALLAH. Remember ALLAH all the time, for when I am not there to help you but He, ALLAH al-Rahman, al-Rahim will always be there for you. Seek help only from HIM because no other can give you the assistance that you wish for except HIM. Remember HIM by performing solat with khusyu' and recite the Quran daily. ALLAH's word (al-Quran) has a healing power that will heal your lonely heart.

Go my child, go. May Allah's blessing be with you all the time.

Sincerely,

Ibu

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
