Wedding....

December is just a month full of weddings....ada one day we had to attend 4 weddings, i was too tired, so we only manage to do 3... Hehehehe..but there was a special wedding last week, alhamdulillah my high school friend nisa, got married last weekend...at a the new hotel royal bintang damansara..i love the ballroom...all white and cream....Cantikk...her theme was ballroom, but im super old school so i decided to wear a songket kurung..hehehehe


We checked in the hotel....all was good...they have a full length mirror..hehehe..i love it when the hotel room has full lenght mirror...

Anyway at night, while i was trying to put my baby to sleep, suddenly he jumped and started crying, 'mummy tatut, mummy tatut( takut) and he started crying and he was terrified...

We had no choice but to bring him to the lobby, finally he slept at 3 am...when we went back to the room, i remember, my mum told me to read ayat kursi, and the 3 surah al-ikhlas, al-falaq, an-nas,..also nasib baik now we have quran in the ipad, so i read abit of the quran, surah albaqarah..alhamdulillah baby boy slept well the whole night...i too slept well...

Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi 1019, Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
The Prophet used to seek protection against the Jinn and the evil eye till surahs al-Falaq and an-Nas were revealed. After they were revealed he stuck to them and discarded everything beside them. [Transmitted by Tirmidhi]

Veggies for toddlers

Here is a tip on how u want to make veggies yummy...

All u need to do is 'goreng tepung all veggies' something like tempura style..

Seriously anything that i goreng my hubby and baby boy ( ok fine he is no longer a baby, he is a toddler) will eat happily...

The picture is sample of pumpkin, bendi ( lady's finger) and yellow capsicum.. All finished within 5 mins... The kids became piranhas eating them...

Use medium big fire so u don't fry them so long... We still want to try our best to preserve all the nutrients in the veggies...

Here i dipped it with tepung magik(thats the name of the flour, u can google it) but i can tell u it taste really good...

Yummy eclairs

Salam all,

My sisters and i, hv been experimenting with desserts. Well my sisters have been baking since we were small...but nowdays, The kids are getting more demanding, they want new things to eat...

i have to admit, im not the best dessert maker ( me and my mum, we experiment more on lauk- pauk).. But when we combine all our ideas together..mashaAllah i loooove what comes out from it...

Our latest project is chocolate eclairs..u see i have never really liked eclairs, sbb whenever we buy it always taste macam they use cheap ingredients..so finally we decided to do our own..

And the result, mashaAllah is amazing..


Hubby who is not a dessert person, finished all our eclairs...

So this recipe is a sucess..alhamdulillah...

Can't wait to try mose desserts...mana tahu one day ada rezeki we can start selling them...

D format cabinet

Salam,

I've been wanting to do a review on my kitchen cabinet, finally I manage to take a picture of it...

But my phone camera quality is not so good, so sorry...

Anyway I will start with the good points first...

Alhamdulillah...I love the installers... They were amazing and they were very nice... He did all the work very well and he installed it very carefully.. They even helped me rearrange my cabinet arrangements, to a more practical arrangement..

The bad-

I choose d format because the price was reasonable and I liked the sales person very much. It all started very well at first... The problem started when I started to questioned her design.. I'm a very practical person, so I choose practicality over beauty.. So when I wanted to change things according to how I wanted it, I could see that she was annoyed and she started to Malas handle my cabinet...
Simple things like I don't want to put my oven in the cabinet, but she kept on insisting its a new design, and that everybody is doing it... But I've seen cabinets getting spoilt because of the heat of the oven, so I didn't want my oven in the cabinet...

Also she was extremely annoyed when I wanted to install my own tabletop. I wanted quartz, but d format quartz is very expensive.

When the installers came to install, she didn't even give the PVC carcass that I paid for, then I called her n insisted, then they came with new carcass.

A lot of her measurements were wrong, so my washing machine and fridge cannot fit in the cabinet, so the installers told me to just don't install the cabinet,

.... so I wasted money paying for cabinets I didn't even instal.. Alhamdulillah I still love the end results of my cabinets..

The drawer and cabinet location pun salah, my installer changed the arrangement to a more suitable arrangement for cooking, I'm so glad he changed it...

Lastly the price that I paid in the end is the same price that signature kitchen quoted me... I had to upgrade the quality to get a similar feel to my mother in laws signature kitchen cabinets.. Last2 I paid the same price..

Over all, I would not go to d format again. Only the first quotation is cheap.. But when u upgrade things like Blum hinges, PVC carcass, aluminum caping, rubber to absorb the closing of the cabinets..then all the kitchen company is similar price.

But I still have to point out that they gave me a really good installer...alhamdulillah.

Yummy lempeng Pisang.....

I was craving for banana something.... Goreng pisang n cekodok pisang it's not suitable for breakfast... So I decided to do lempeng pisang aka banana pancake...

2 eggs
1oz gula ( but i used organic brown sugar)
4oz self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Santan ( but i used fresh milk instead)
5-8 Biji pisang depending on size
Abit of marjerin

1. Pukul the telur and gula hingga naik
2. Ayak tepung dengan garam Dan masukkan ke dalam telur.
3. masukkan susu ( I used about 3/4 cup of milk)
4. Masukkan pisang lecek Dan kacau hingga mesra
5.panas Kuali n sapu marjerin
6. Bakar the lempeng

 
I didnt have santan so i used Fresh milk
A flat pan makes it super easy to bakar 6 lempeng sekali...

Im just a mother....

If I teach a child to read at school, I'm called a Teacher.
If I teach my child to read Qur'aan and his sunnah Du'aas at home, then I'm just a mother.

If I plan lessons for a class, I'm called a Curriculum Coordinator.
If educate my child home, then I'm just a mother.

If I sit and talk to children an hour each, a week, addressing their needs, I'm a Speech Therapist.
If I engage and help my child with sabr every minute of every day, instill proper aadaab n akhlaaq, then I'm just a mother.

If I look after a patient in the hospital, I'm called a Nurse.
If I nurse my child when they're ill, awake all night: none able to replace my reassuring presence, then I'm just a mother.

If I manage my boss's office, I'm called a Secretary
If I organise my children's lives and my home, a place for everything and everything in its place, then I'm just a mother.

If I prepare a meal in a restaurant, I'm called a Chef.
If I cook nutritious meals daily, made with love, remembered forever, then I'm just a mother.

If I work late worrying about a deal for clients, how to make them as much money as I can, I'm a Career Woman.
If I stay up worrying and planning my children's deeni future, the deeni future of our world, then I'm just a mother.

If I went out with colleagues and peers for dinner, comparing notes on the industry, I'd be Networking.
If I went out picnicking with a local mother & her toddlers, comparing notes on parenting, I'd just be a mother.

If I sing on a stage, I'm an Artist.If I sing a nazm or azkaar every night, the only voice that they want, the only voice that will do, then I'm just a mother.

But we often tend to forget and reliase that being a mother and bringing up our children with the correct tarbiyat is the hardest profession of all.

May Allah make it easy for all the mums-to-be n all those who are already mummys, and grant/make our children Da'ees/Duaat. Aameen

how i found my life (part 2)


after my very scary dream..i was thinking about it for days..but i didnt know what to do...i didnt know where to start...i was just confuse...

n then one day we went for this talk...a very basic talk on rukun islam...n the uztaz  was talkinng about the famouse hadith that everyone always quotes..." All muslims goes to Jannah/heaven/paradise..."


yes, that hadith is absolutely true, its a hadith sahih bukhari..BUT, yes there is a BUT, but there is a continuation to the hadith, that nobody really bothers to find out...

HADITH BUKHARI book no 92, hadith no 384 (9/7280)


Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "All my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who will refuse?" He said, "Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it)."


see the highlighted part " those who refuse"...i was shivering...n then someone asked the uztaz, if someone doesnt pray 5 times a day, are they part of the muslims that disobeys or who refuse?


and terus the uztaz says, a muslim who does not solat 5 times a day, 


1) is a muslim who does not believe in Allah SWT who has commanded us to do so in the Quran n through our messenger Muhammad SAW..
2) a muslim who does not believe in the Quran, which is part of RUkun IMAN
3) a muslim who does not believe in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and all the hadith...


 he asked the audience balik, do u think that person is believer or someone who disobeys Allah SWT??? 


after the talk i kept on asking myself, if i dont pray 5 times a day, n i die, does that mean i might die as a disbeliever??  i kept on telling myself, but Allah SWT is maha pengampun, so maybe i can be forgiven...but Allah SWT also does not lie, and he has promised in the Quran, disbeliever will be punished..he has promised in the hadith that those who disobeys will not even masuk syurga...


what have i done to deserve to enter Jannah?? 

but i thought to myself, well takpe, before i die, i will straight away mengucap...then Allah SWT might forgive me for all my sins...

guess what?? a few weeks later, i was in the car, with my friends, driving at 120km/h at north south highway..it was in rawang i think...it was night time...we were all happily talking, suddenly there was a black bull or black lembu, we coudlnt see coz gelap, just crossed the road, n suddenly duduk on the fast lane...masa tu the highway was on construction, nak besarkan to 3 lanes.... my friend that was driving, got shocked, we had to avoid the giant bull so he swerved to the left...the side of the car langgar the bulls ekor...n our car pusing2 loose  control.....n all i heard around me at that point was "OMG",  SHIT..and so on...

alhamdulillah Allah SWT protected us, we didnt hit anything, the car in front of us langgar the curb abit but he is fine as well....

after that incident i kept on thinking if i die, will i sempat or not say the syahadah...coz during the accident, mmg tak sempat nak say anythning....

a few weeks later i heard a talk by sheikh Feiz about death... one thing he said that i could not forget " how can u die in Lailhaillallah whe you dont leave in Lailahaillallah...." " only a believer can say the syahadah before they die, because the syaitan is not strong enough to stop it, their iman is strong..."


is my iman strong???


to be continued


May Allah forgives all our sins, and make us among those yang beriman....
May Allah SWT guide all non practising muslims, and strengthen their iman...

Grille

Salam,

wow the new blogspot is confusing...dahlah im not so good with IT...

anyway as promised i was going to update about my new project, which is doing up my house...

below is the simple patern that i choose for my grille...my loyal readers would know that dari dulu i like simple things...so yes, of course my house simple design as well...

i choose a 3 inch gap instead of 4 inch...also i choose solid steel...btw people, becareful when ur grille man says wrought iron...seriously in malaysia wrought iron is just grille with patterns n flowers n stuff...but its hollow inside...if u want yg tak hollow request for solid steel...dahlah solid steel is waaaaaayyy stronger but cheaper than wrought iron...




our grille man alhamdulillah was easy to work with....dia yg ukur, dia yang buat, dia yg pasang... easy ..alhamdulillah no miscommunication...he is ontime...he said he pasang on this date, true enough he pasang on the date...he might not be the cheapest, but he is so far the easiest contractor that i had to work with..

we got a few quotation...tapi some tu, during nak ukur tu pun dah problem, tak ontime, always delay...so we went for mahal sikit but reliable...

now were in the midst of fixing lights, fans n aircond, plaster ceiling and build in cabinets...so many things at one...May Allah SWT ease all the process..ameen....

How I found my life.....

This is going to be a longgggg story... When i started my blog i promised to share how i changed my life. N finally after almost 3 years, only now im blogging about it...

It's a long story....terpaksa Bahagi to a few parts....


It was early feb... Within 1 week I heard that 2 people I knew had passed away..in my heart, suddenly I was thinking about my own death...

A few days passed, I was just preparing to sleep after a long day ... Suddenly I heard my sister knocking on my door.. I opened she asked "did u get the sms??" I told her not yet, my phone is on silent... She said we hv to go hospital now, our close friend is in critical condition...

innalillahiwainnailaihirojiun


He passed away....it's heartbreaking because it was just 4 months ago he had lost his dear father... N now it's him.... May Allah SWT grant him, his father n all of us Muslims Jannah...

Another death?? I asked my self, n this was someone that had filled my memories of growing up....this time it really it hit me, what would happen if I died today?? Will Allah place me in jannah?? For days I had many sleepless night thinking about death....

I was having a life crisis... I was confused with what I wanted in life...I didn't understand what my purpose of life was...I wasn't the best of Muslims... I wasn't a pleasant person with my family.. I only wanted to do what made me happy n I did not care even if it was hurting the people around me and the people that loved me...I was selfish!

But days went by n I kept asking myself what am I doing with my life?? If i died today, would anybody make doa for Allah swt to forgive me?? N I realised, yes my parents n family members would n my righteous friends would...but aren't this the people that I am hurting??

N the "so called" friends that I'm spending most of my time with, I doubt they would make any dua for me, they don't even make dua themselves...

And then I met up with one of my closest friend, i was so nervous, I didn't know what to say to her, coz she had just lost her brother n her father...but when we met, mashaAllah she just had this beautiful smile... We were talking n talking... She was just telling me how Islam has made her strong to face the lost of her brother n father...and I asked " don't u miss our past n all the fun we had??" n she explained that Islam has given her an inner peace that sense of calmness...n I could tell it was sincere because I saw that in her...

A few days went by.. N I bumped into another friend, she too had just found her inner peace from Islam...wow I told myself, I never thought I would see her in tudung....

But I'm a Muslim, then why am I feeling sooooo lost??? I wanted the calmness they had, but i was to scared to loose my life... I was not willing to loose my friends, my job, my what I thought was amazing life....

I wanted to change, but I just couldn't not start.... Something was stoping me... Till 1 night....

I had the scariest dream..... I dream that I had died, I was burried, n my grave was soooooooooo small filled with really scary creatures..... All this creatures were eating me...I was crying for help, but I was ALONE...n finally after what I felt like a long period of time I heard a voice telling me, if u don't change now, this is ur barzakh....

N suddenly I woke up... I was reallly scared, I was shivering n I was crying non stop... I was soo scared I didn't know what to do... I ran to my parents room... I cried n told my mum I had a bad dream... My mom hugged me n baca dua for me. She said see if u don't baca doa before u sleep the syaitan will Kacau u...

But deep inside I knew...that was not syaitan disturbing me, that was a HARD reminder for me that if I keep living my life that way, I would end up like that.......

To be continued

Responsibility as a parent

Someone once told me, don't expect ur children to be a beriman if u yourself are not beriman...

Since I became a mother I feel so scared if my upbringing fails, n my child ends up being a non practicing Muslim. Another person has mentioned " if my child fails, it means I have failed as a mother....so deep kan that statement. But I realise it's true.

When I was growing up, among us siblings Ada yg always get A for exams. I was not a 4flat student like my Sis, but my parents never force me to dpt 4flat,n I asked my parents why they tak marah me?

N my mom explained,that success for her is when her anak is soleh n when we die,we pass the biggest test, which is when the malaikat asks " who is ur god? n we can answer Allah SWT. N that the only way for our body to answer that is if u are a good practicing Muslim during our life in the world.

I love that about my parents, alhamdulillah...they always prioratise on what's more important, like they didnt force me to get straight A's because they knew it was harder for me but easier for my sister... But they are very strict on solat. Everyday without fail my parents will force us to bangun for subuh n also remind us to solat every single waktu, everyday.... N I can tell u is not easy coz we all selalu tido balik, jawab balik and etc... But all that effort that my parents made while growing up,was mashaallah worth it...

Alhamdulillah now we can do that for our kids. N now I realise why my parents did not give up even though it was not an easy thing to do everyday...

But sadly nowdays i see not many parents do that to their kids. Some parents don't wake them up for subuh because kesian the anak wants to sleep....How is that good for the anak? Isn't that leading ur child to the WRONG path?
May Allah SwT guide us all parents to lead their children n future generations to jannah....


So let's start reminding everybody to practice our 5 solat everyday... Let's remind our family, our spouse, our kids, our friends, everyone.... Ameen....

May Allah SWT grant us jannah...
Ameen

P/s:baby boy now can sing,if I sing abcdefg, he will sing abbbbbb...subhanallah...cuteness

11months...

Firstly I would like to apologize the long silence..

For the record, when I buat reviews, it is NOT to show anything but it's purely to share, n the only reason I can try many things is because I have very kind sisters n sisters in law that are willing to share..May Allah SWT bless them n everyone for their kindness...

Alhamdulillah baby boy is 11 months now...he has progressed so much..now he can bye to us, calls me mama or Mimi...calls his father Ada or dada...he looooveess animals like birds n cats...n the most important of all alhamdulillah he started walking..in the room now he will just jalan from one end to another end...first it started with 1 step..now it's more than 15 steps...but I notice, he is more berani in our room than anywhere else...comfort zone I guess...


As for me, I've learnt to cook..to be honest I just started cooking 2 years ago..so kiranya before wedding, I had no idea how to cook..but my kind mother n sisters alhamdulillah they have been helping me...now I can officially say, saya boleh masak alhamdulillah.To those that can't cook, don't worry..a lot of people use to kutuk me, but I knew deep inside when the right time came, I would eventually learn...for some, cooking doesn't come naturally, so people don't judge them..give the time n support. When I was sad, my mom use to comfort me n say she too learnt how to cook after she got married, n now almost 35 years later she is still cooking delicious food for us...May Allah SWT bless her, and all the mums and ladies out there for preparing food day by day in sickness n good health, for their family...amen..

n I also want to share some very simple recepi that I found..soon soon inshaAllah..
