The wonderful 10 days : Its empty again

Assalamualaykum...

This is my first entry for the year 2016. New year to me is just another new day with challenges ahead. New year would mean new cycle of episode for the children. The 10 days 'Happy Together' ended today. Kids left their nest for their jihad fi sabilillah.. to seek knowledfe and virtue ... May Allah bless them always. My doa is always for you.

3-2-1.
Hakim, the 3rd was sent on the 1st of January. The 10 days holiday felt too short.
Sabrina, the 2nd, went back today. A new episode. A senior now at school. The three weeks off was too brief even though they felt as thouhg they are going to be 'mereput' (or 'rotting', a new term used by the youngsters to represent not doing anything).
Atikah, the first was the last to leave the nest. Her first term break landed her a 'vacation' in the medical center ward for two nights for food poisoning and a confirmed gastritis symptom. As she was still feeling very weak, we opted to send her off to Tapah late afternoon. Go dear... work your way to success. Insha Allah.

There goes my three jewels... mothers are always mothers... silently missing the kids inmediately when entering the empty house. No more laughter. No more jokes to fill the house. They are far yet so near in the heart.

Each time this feeling came, Mak's face will come flashing. How much she must have missed the children but we are too busy for her. Mak ... my doa is always for you too... and also for Bapak. Because... with Allah's will... both of you are the reason for why I am who I am now. Allahu akbar.

May Allah bless us all. And give us strength and patience to withold this emptiness.

Allahu a'lam.

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
