BEGINNING OF A NEW LIFE

While spring cleaning my old blog, I found this entry which touched my heart deeply.
Dated : 05 March 2015




Salam semua sahabat,

Seriously, hard for me to find a time to spend a little time to update this blog. With the fact that I now have three kids, and they are all growing up real fast, with the fact that, I am also doing few other things and with the fact that I still at this point, have no one to help me with the house chores... with the fact that Im quite lazy to write... and lastly with the fact that I am more active in Fb, so, you see why this blog haven't  been updated regularly.

Ok on today, I would spend a little time to write something.

I must say that entering the 4series soon, even few years before reaching 4series, Allah changed my life. He gave me tests... to bring myself back down to the ground. I might have been selfish, egoist, materialistic (but still kind hearted yer) and all the negative character that I could have, but Allah test me with dugaan and now I am no longer at the fast track, but slowing down... in the name of Allah and for the sake of my kids.... seeking for His forgiveness... aiming for Jannah.

It is not easy I must say to carry this responsibility. And raising my kids who came from a mix culture family, it's quite challenging. Having half brothers with different kind of teaching, making it more challenging.

I have to consistently reminding and tazkirah my kids, the importance of Islam upbringing, the point of this life.

I keep asking for Allah to give me strength and live longer, to at least "feed" my kids with ilmu akhirat, till they reach the age where they are independant and can think on their own about good and bad and hopefully that time, they are mentally, spiritly filled with ilmu akhirat.

Allah also took away the friends that are sort of bad influence to me. And instead, He rewarded me with muslimah muslimin friends in which, the way they live their lives, give me inspiration to change.

And I wish what I am now, is what I am years ago. But Allah knows it better.

Although there are still lots of things to change... but I ask for Allah forgiveness and guidance to us.

I carry the responsiblity for the "input" akhirat for my kids. I teach them to read Quran... I taught them to pray. Sometimes when I see keluarga hebat... I do feel down. Because their kids are so hebat... solat sunat, subuh at the mosque, puasa sunat...becoz they came from parents yg hebat.

Mana mungkin my kids would be like that coz their parents are not hebat like that. I do feel down at times. But then I keep telling myself, this is better than nothing... keep on tahajud, keep on what Im doing now for my kids and insyaAllah, Allah will have mercy on me, my husband and kids.

I believe this year 2015 is the beginning of an excellent and wonderful life... coz Allah give me the chance to meet wonderful people and learn from them...alhamdulillah Allah for giving me this chance.

Back to my kids... they are doing well at school. Also at religious school. Although I still need to spend more time with my 2nd one to do revision, she is ok. No comment about my boy... I can count on him, my puberty guy.


Yesterday night after solat jemaah Maghrib (hubby was not back yet), mengaji time, then we took turn to read Yassin. I was so scared that the kids would be complaining, in which they did but a bit... then I told them "jangan ikutkan bisikan syaitan, tgh hasut tu jgn baca Yassin"...so they stopped grudging.

To my surprise, they love it. And I must try to make this a habit.

Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for your help and for your unconditionally love for us.

TIPS DAN PERINGATAN UNTUK CIK ADIK BARU BERKAWIN

Found this post from my old blog.
Dated 28 Oct 2015

Salam semua,

Ada mood pula nak menulis malam ni. Well actually sbb ada masa terluang. Tergerak arini nak menulis pasal pasangan yg baru mendirikan rumahtangga, selepas terbaca satu artikel dibawah:
10 PERANGAI ORANG BARU KAWIN YG BUAT KITA RASA NAK MUNTAH

Saya ni dilahirkan didalam keluarga dan suasana yg mana always on the move. Takde nak melepak sokmo, lembik lembik. Mana kerja org lain takleh buat, atau terlampau lembap, kita menengok pun geram, last last kita buat sbb nak settlekan cepat.

Amalan ni berlarutan lah sampai kawin dan beranak pinak. Sbb tu agak pelik bila tengok minah minah lembik bila pregnant lembik dia mengalahkan makcik mengandung 5 dlm perut. Belum lagi yg memanjang je mc. Belum lagi yg masak pun tak boleh... alahai.

Tahukah anda siapa yg lebih cerdik? Ya adik adik makcik makcik yg lembik tu lah paling cerdik. Kenapa? Sebab ada antara mereka yg berlakon lembik... bukan sebab diorang tak boleh buat... tidak tidak... sebab apa?

Sebab SPESIS LELAKI ini adalah spesis yg berlemak berkrim pantang dimanjakan. Jadi utk anda yg baru berkawin tu.... baca ni. Mmg betullah kekawan sekeliling ckp... dgn laki ni kena tunjuk lembik... jgn tunjuk boleh buat semua.

Sebab apa? Bila dari awal kawin dimanjakan... makanan kita sediakan, dia just goyang telo, makanan dah siap, tunggu makan je... oiiii ni baru kawin ni... korang boleh bayangkan tak bila dah beranak pinak?

Yes masa baru kawin lah laki ni kena ditrain tau sbb bayangkan kalau dibiasakan goyang telo dari awal?

  • kat umah keja tengok hp, tgk tv... tengok telo... pendek kata melepak terbaring atas sofa sebab bini prepare semua
  • lepas makan tak reti nak letak pinggan kat dapur sebab bini boleh buat, bini kata takper bang, pegilah goyang telo bang
  • tak reti nak menolong kat dapo sbb mak kata itu kerja pempuan (bingai gak mak dia eh)
  • tengok barang bersepah ke, sampah ke, tak retinnya lah tolong kemas sbb masa duk ngan mak, mak buat semua
  • baju yg dah bini mesinkan, tak retilah nak sidaikan ke, angkat kan ke
  • barang dapo, takperlah bini boleh gi beli sbb bini tau apa nak beli
Korang boleh bayangkan tak bila dah beranak pinak, korang masih kena buat benda diatas? Sebab apa? Sebab korang dah biasakan laki korang dari awal lagi sebab korang tunjuk terror nak jadi isteri mithali kunun, bila dah beranak pinak baru rasa sengsara.

Jadi be clever... utk yg baru kawin tu

  • train laki anda utk participate dlm kerja rumah.
  • beli barang dapur dgn laki, sekali sekala, bagi dia sendiri beli barang dapur
  • bila ada baby, train laki mandikan baby, salin diaper baby, bila keluar, make sure laki take turn pegang baby bila nak makan, jgn biarkan dia kenyangkan perut sendiri je


Yg nak marah atas my writing ni... kalau anda ada laki yg tidak seperti diatas, bersyukurlah tapi tahukan anda hampir majority suami adalah seperti diatas? Anda mungkin tidak merasainya dan rasa laki anda adalah yg terbaik, tapi terima kenyataan bahawa boleh dikira dgn jari lar lelaki yg amat ringan tulang.

Sekian terimakasih.

CUCUR UDANG

Found this recipe in my old blog.
Dated 28 Oct 2015

I consider this the best cucur udang I've ever made.

Recipe:
Bahan-bahan

1 1/2 cawan tepung gandum
3 sudu besar tepung beras (Bahan ni yang bagi rangup cucur)
1/2 sudu kecil serbuk kunyit
Air
1kiub ayam
10 ekor udang besar/kecik
1 sudu besar bawang merah goreng (cucur akan ada bau wangi bawang goreng..best)
Taugeh (suke ati nak letak banyak mana 1 genggam or lebih-didnt have this in stock)
Daun kucai (potong 2 inci)
1 batang carrot saiz sedang (potong panjang2 & nipis dalam 2 inci)
Garam secukup rasa

Cara-Cara

1. Tepung beras & gandum diayak
2. Campurkan semua bahan² kecuali air dan udang
3. Masukan air sedikit demi sedikit & gaulkan rata..Adunan jangan terlalu cair or pekat.(bahan2 biar bersalut dengan tepung)
4. Masukkan udang yg telah dibuang kulit.
5. Panaskan minyak & boleh digoreng, saya guna sudu besar utk adunan yg digoreng. Oh ya, masa minyak panas, ambik satu sudu besar dan gaulkan ke dalam adunan tadi. Ini jadikan dia crunchy gitu (I remember this tips from my buddy Mimi Azura Mohamed Zin)

Selamat mencuba!

WAHAI ANAK PEREMPUAN DAN ANAK LELAKI KU

Terjumpa in my old blog, writing on 28 Oct 2015
...Ida 9yrs
...Adam 13yrs old
...Jade dan Syifa masih bermain di taman syurga


Seringkali kita dengar keluhan para isteri yg mana suaminya kat rumah tak menolong langsung... nothing, rien, yilek!!

I have kids... diorang akan membesar... akan jadi suami orang, akan jadi isteri orang.

Buat anak perempuanku, akan daku berpesan:

  • jadi isteri mithali tapi kena bertempat. Bukan ajaran Islam dimana bini buat semua kerja rumah
  • train laki utk sama sama buat kerja rumah
  • gajimu adalah hak mu. Nafkah laki haruslah tidak dia lupa.
  • berkerjalah selagi boleh tapi andai lakimu mampu utk menanggungmu tanpa mu meminta duit mcm peminta sedekah.
  • andai kau tidak berkerja, jgn sekali kali bagi lakimu buat dirimu ditangga paling rendah sekali, you worth more than that

Buat satu satunya anak lelakiku:
  • kamu adalah ketua keluarga, you are the chef, your wife is the role model of your future children so choose your wife wisely
  • kamu adalah lelaki, kamu perlu berpendapatan, berpelajaran lebih tinggi dari bini kamu ya
  • ringan tulang bila dirumah seperti yg mama ajarkan tapi mama taknak tengok sampai bini kamu goyang karipap pulak dan kamu pula jadi balaci buat kerja rumah semua ya!!
  • andai kamu mampu utk membolehkan isteri kamu tidak berkerja, ya kamu perlu tolong dgn kerja rumah juga tapi jangan sampai bini pijak kepala plak duk merungut itu ini... ini mmg nak kena ganyang!!
  • biasakan bini mingle around dgn keluarga kita...rajin bawak bini kamu berjumpa saudara mara
