Time to make a few changes

The moment has come when I have realized that many things in my life need to be changed. Not for anyone, but for me. No one will do it for me, but me.

ALLAH berfirman yang bermaksud: “Sesiapa yang Allah kehendaki mendapat hidayah nescaya dilapangkan dadanya untuk menerima Islam dan sesiapa yang dikehendaki sesat nescaya dijadikan dadanya sempit dan sesak seolah-seolah naik ke langat. Demikianlah Allah menimpakan kehinaan kepada orang yang tidak beriman.” (Surah al-An’am, aya t12)

How do I become A good Muslim?

I must believe that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

I have to find what could have caused me delaying or do not follow or infrequently do what Allah asked for.

Wear the hijab properly. Alhamdulillah I am wearing the hijab since I am 26 but I have yet to perfect. I need to wear the hijab properly. Actually, hijab not just a piece of cloth that covers hair, it changes your mentally and spiritually.

The five daily prayers (Solat), Alhamdulillah I am grateful, but I still need to learn the meaning of the verse that I read when I pray.

I should be more frequent recitation of Al- Quran because by doing that I'd be very close to Allah. InsyaAllah, I will try to also examine the meaning of verses is in the nature of Al-Quran.

I will try to stay away from those who tried to prevent my intention and I will try to find my weaknesses.
May Allah bless us all and give guidance to follow the right path. Ameen!

Later peeps!!

Alahai....Soffiya

After Nur Kasih, Nora Elena & Seth Tan, now... yes! I'm now addicted to SOFFIYA . I fell in love with it after I saw the tv commercial and my mother inlaw talks about the series and now I love the show more and more :). The story is about the unfortunate girl who is always devastating our hearts.



I am not a big fan of Malay dramas sebab banyak yang melodramatic sesangat but somehow, after watching Soffiya a few episodes i feel there's something a little different in it. I can't wait to see how they end the drama. thanks to Kabir Bhatia, He had this magical touch which has brought me to watch this Soffiya :D.


So, let us wait along until the series ends. Jom...dah nak start dah nih ...


Later peeps!

Awesome Fish Head Curry!

16 years ago Mr. H introduced me to this restaurant "bawah pokok" and to its fish head curry. I thing i did wrote about the restaurant before, Anuar Fish Head Curry, located at Lucky Garden bangsar. The curry is to die for. I am not a huge fan of curry but this place may just have changed that :)

So, for lunch today we went there because Mr. H mengidam nak makan sana and he has been eyeing the fish head curry here since last week. The fish tasted fresh and the level of spiciness was right on (heehee macam food tester plaks)


the fish head curry goes well with a plate of hot rice :)




We also had the fried chicken..sedap sangat and the fried sotong yang yummy!! till I forgot to snap pictures of heheehe...




So friends, go and try...you’ll not be disappointed. InsyaAllah :)
Later peeps!

yesterday was not my day...

We all have our ups and downs each day and yesterday was gloomy day for me indeed. I was tired after not getting a good night sleep (hehehe baca novel actually :P). Adam threw a tantrum early morning. He cries and refuses to go to day care, same goes to Dina, and she’s on a week Deepavali's holiday. She also refuses to go to day care. I am very late to the office because memujuk anak-anak tersayang. Dina, finally went to her grandmother’s. Adam, I sent him to day care walaupun sungguh payah nak turun dari kereta...

Dalam kecoh-kecoh pagi semalam, Mr. H did asked me to reconsider to stop working as his previous suggestions. I thought we agreed not to talk again about the matter further as we have made our decisions...sigh… :( but at noon he called me and apologized and he said he shouldn’t pry further about it. Decision has been made, maybe he carried away with the hassles of the children in the morning. Hmmmm… actually it doesn’t make me feel better at all. But I was happy to accept his apology.

In the office, all went so wrong, so very, very wrong… I got in trouble for something that really isn't my job… arghhh!!!…damn!! I don't want to remember things that annoyed me and I don't want to talk about it anymore."You owe me an apology my friend!”

My bad day ended with me crying (many people claim to feel better after a good cry...errr… no?) and tried to talk to my close friends. After that, I feel relieved. Later in the afternoon a cup of tutti frutti it certainly cheered me up :D... thank you!

Later peeps!!

our weekend...

Spending weekend with the whole family is such a relief. Last week, everyone at home. Kakak is also at home (BBM - Balik bermalam they call it). It's hard for us to be gathered together, bila semua ada nih, there are all sorts of plans they want to do. Tapi bukan semua boleh buat pun ;p

On Saturday, we went to kinokuniya at KLCC, masing-masing nak mencari buku. They all end up with 5 books each including me and Adam :D. The damage that day from kinokuniya was "phewwww..." hehehe... luckily Mr. H was okay with it. Kalau tak sia-sia jer kena cantas buku-buku yang tak penting.

Finished at KLCC, we had our dinner at Sakura, at first Mr.H wanted to eats seafood, but there were many people lining up waiting to get tables. So, we went to Sakura and had a yummilicious dinner.

aik?? mana Adam & Baba :)
The chinese halal food here is excellent and portions were generous. We shared everything we ordered. Anyway, what did we have for our dinner... :D. We started with salted egg soft shell crab, we also tried some fried kway teow cantonese style, a must try if you’re dining at this restaurant, Nasi and sambal petai udang, foo yong egg, Hainan chicken rice for Adam, ABC to die for :) and Sakura fried Chicken...superb!

After dinner we drove home with full tummy and everyone was sleepy kecuali Mr. H yang ada niat lagi nak pusing2 KL ;P...

On Sunday morning, I made a lazy-sunday-breakfast > instant capati and kari ayam :). Kakak dah sibuk berkemas nak balik hostel. Since exam dah habis Dina mula la terperap dalam bilik membaca buku yang dibeli on Saturday. Mr. H has to attend his friend wedding, I malas nak ikut, so Mr. H ajak his father :D. I teringin nak makan nasi minyak so i cooked nasi minyak, ayam masak merah and kari terung campur carrot for our lunch. Kakak pun boleh tapau bawak balik hostel.

Well, there goes my awesome weekend with anak-anak...later peeps!!

Good or bad?

Look at the pictures...


These photo taken recently during our short holiday.

They did not remember the swimming pool at all.

Before this, pool lah yang they are looking for if we all pergi vacation mana-mana pun.

Kakak lagi lah, kemana pun sure bawak lappy dia.

Dina pun dah terikut2 dah.

Kids now-a-days, grow up too fast.

sharing is caring...

Lately, too much of bad stories about teenagers. Moreover, if the story is about teenage girls. I have two daughters, and cerita-cerita ni semua menakutkan. Bila I baca, I feel sad, afraid and angry. What causes all this? Apakah yang perlu kita lakukan?


For me, prayer plays a vital role in the development of a happy family and Baiti jannati. As parents we should always pray for the well-being of children. All the words, beliefs, prayers, hopes and dreams of parents are actually prayers and will be affected into the lives of children. Prayer must be followed by action comes in the way we develop children's personal. InsyaAllah…


Diantara doa2 yang saya rasa bagus saya ambil dari pelbagai blog dah articles ialah :-


Untuk membantu anak mudah belajar dan menelaah pelajaran, baca zikir Ya-Latif sebanyak 129 kali diikuti surah as-Syura ayat 19 yang bermaksud:“ Allah itu lemah lembut kepada hamba-hambaNya: Ia mengurniakan kepada siapa yang dikehendaki. Padahal, Dialah Yang Kuat, Yang Gagah.” Sebaiknya dibaca selepas subuh iaitu dibaca pada air untuk minuman dan masakan seisi keluarga.


Ketika memasak, sentiasa basahkan lidah dan bacakan doa Surah al- Imran ayat 200 yang bermaksud: “ Hai orang-orang yang beriman! Sabarlah dan lawanlah sabar, dan bersedialah dan berbaktilah kepada Allah supaya kamu mendapat kejayaan.”Diikuti pula dengan memperbanyakkan zikir Ya Hayyu, Ya Quyyum, Ya Latiff dan Ya Rahman berulang-ulang. Kesemua ini insya-Allah adalah doa pelembut hati. Juga Surah Toha ayat 1-8, Surah ar-Rahman ayat 1-4 dan surah al-Insyirah dibaca dalam aktiviti lain seperti semasa menemani anak menelaah buku-buku dan membaca al-Quran.Kita juga digalakkan menyentuh dengan lembut ubun-ubun anak dengan tangan kanan sambil berdoa dan menyatakan harapan. Petua membaca doa dan harapan semasa anak baru lelap kerap saya amalkan apabila anak ada masalah emosi atau tingkah laku.


Selain itu, selepas sembahyang lima waktu, amalkan doa dari surah al-Furqan-74 yang bermaksud, “ Tuhan kami, Anugerahkanlah kami isteri-isteri dan keturunan kami yang menyenangkan hati, dan jadikan kami imam bagi orang yang bertakwa”

Surah Ibrahim ayat 40 yang bermaksud:“ Wahai tuhanku, Jadikanlah aku dan anak cucuku orang-orang yang menegakkan solat. Wahai Tuhanku! Kabulkanlah doa kami. ”Sebaik-baik memohon doa adalah diwaktu tengah malam. Seringlah bangun sepertiga malam untuk mendirikan solat solat sunat dan mendoakan kesejahteraan keluarga. Sebutlah nama anak secara spesifik untuk doa lebih berkesan.

Ini pula ialah tips for us to deal with teenagers….


1. Be slow to lose patience with your teenager
2. Be constructive with your teenager
3. Don’t treat your teenager as a possession or an object that can be manipulated
4. Find no need to impress your teenager with your greatness and power
5. Do not belittle your teenager for acceptance is important
6. Do not show rage with every little mistakes a teenager makes
7. Do not nag and keep score on all the mistakes of your teenager
8. Be happy when your teenager stands up under the pressures of life
9. Let your teenager know that you are not giving up on them
10. Trust your teenager even if at times they don’t trust themselves
11. Never say “there is no hope for you” rather let them understand the depths of your concern
12. Never forsake your teenager even though many of their friends did
13. Stand with your teenager when they reach rock bottom of despair


Diharapkan kita sama-sama dapat menafaat dari semua ini.

blonde hair???

Dulu...I did not know when we color the hair even though it uses a halal product, but the act is still haram. This is because all of the products is permanent and does not absorb into the hair except inai. since I knew I had never been coloring my hair. But, there are still many who do not want to accept this fact. Anyyone out there can prove that hair dyes are in the market can absorb into the hair? sah ke tidak mandi wajib kita kalau air tidak sampai ke rambut? bagaimana pulak dengan solat kita? saya google and terbaca ini and ada juga saya baca dari blog2 yg lain...

Dipetik daripada www.zaharuddin.net

SOALAN
Mewarnakan Uban dengan warna hitam yang disahkan halal oleh JAKIM. Apa hukumnya?


JAWAPAN:
Ulama telah bersepakat mengharuskan mencelup warna rambut dari warna hitam ke warna lain seperti merah dll, samada dengan inai dan apa jua pewarna yang dibenarkan syarak. (Rujuk Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, jld 5,ms 359 ; Al-Istizkar, Ibn Abd Al-Barr , jld 27, ms 85 ; Mughni al-Muhtaj, As-Syabini, jld 1, ms 191 ; Kassyaf al-Qina’, Al-Bahuti, jld 1, ms 77)

Mereka semua berdalilkan dengan hadith-hadith riwayat An-Nasaie, At-Tirmidzi, Ahmad, dan Muslim. Hampir kesemuanya mempunyai sanad hasan dan shohih dengan perawi yang thiqah. Demikian menurut Imam Al-Haithami dalam kitabnya Majma’ az-Zawaid dan Imam As-Syawkani dalam Naylul Awtar.

Bagaimanapun ia diikat dengan syarat berikut :-
1- Pewarna tersebut bukannya jenis yang kekal, jika tidak ia dikira mengubah ciptaan Allah SWT yang diharamkan.
2- Menggunakan pewarna yang suci dan halal.
3- Tidak mengakibatkan mudarat terhdp kesihatan individu. Seperti Kanser, kekeringan rambut dan merapuhkannya, atau allergi ataupun mudasrat terhdp janin dll akibat bahan kimia pewarna tadi.
4- Memutihkan rambut iaiatu dengan mengikis warna hitamnya dengan tujuan utk menghasilkan warna baru rambut yang lebih cantik, adalah makruh. kerana ia menukar ciptaan asal Allah.

HUKUM MENCELUP UBAN PUTIH KE HITAM

Ulama telah berbeza pandangan dalam hal ini seperti berikut :-

1. Makruh
Ia adalah pandangan Mazhab Maliki, Abu Hanifah, sebahagian ulama Syafie seperti Imam Ghazali, Al-Baghawi.

Tetapi kiranya ia dibuat untuk tujuan menakutkan musuh di dalam peperangan ia adalah HARUS.

Dalil mereka :
a) Sabda Nabi SAW : “Tukarlah ia (warna rambut, janggut & misai ) dan jauhilah dari warna hitam” (Shohih Muslim)
b) Berkata Ibn Umar ra : “Kekuningan pewarna para mukmin, kemerahan pewarna para Muslimin, Hitam pewarna puak Kuffar” (Riwayat At-Tobrani, Al-Haithami)

c) Nabi SAW bersabda : “Barangsiapa yang mewarnakan rambutnya dengan warna hitam, nescaya Allah akan menghitamkan wajahnya di akhirat kelak” (Al-Haithami, bagaimanapun Ibn Hajar berkata seorg perawinya agak lemah, bagaimanapun rawi tersebut diterima oleh Imam Yahya Mai’en dan Imam Ahmad)

d) Dalil aqal, ia dikira suatu penipuan.

2. Haram

Ia adalah pandangan Mahzab Syafie. Dikecualikan kiranya utk jihad. Mereka berdalil dengan dalil kumpulan pertama tadi.

3. Harus tanpa Makruh

Ia adalah pandangan Imam Abu Yusof dan Ibn Sirin.

Dalil mereka :
a) Sabda Nabi SAW : “Sebaik-baik pewarna yang kamu gunakan adalah warna hitam ini, ia lebih digemari oleh isteri2 kamu, dan lebih dpt menakutkan musuh” (Riwayat Ibn Majah, bagaimanapun ia adalah hadith Dhoif)
b) Diriwayatakan bhw sahabat dan tabi’ein ramai juga yang mewarnakan rambut mrk dengan warna hitam. Antara Sa’ad, ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir, Az-Zuhri dan diakui oleh Hasan Al-Basri. (Lihat Fath al-Bari, Majma’ az-Zawaid dan Tahzib al-Athar oleh At-Tabari)

Suka disebutkan di sini setiap mazhab mempunyai dalil masing-masing yang tidak dpt disebutkan kesemuanya di sini, demi meringkaskan tulisan ini.

Kesimpulan Hukum
Akibat terdapat zahir hadith dan athar yang bertembung antara satu sama lain, maka fuqaha mengambil jalan membuat takwilan bagi menggabungkan hadith-hadith ini. Ia seperti berikut :

a) Hadith larangan adalah menujukan kepada larangan penipuan umur yang tua akibat tua dan uban maka dihitamkan bagi kelihatan lebih muda. Tidak kira dari kalangn lelaki mahupun perempuan. Ia dilarang oleh Islam.

b) Adapun hadith yang mengharuskan adalah dalam keadaan dan sebab2 yang diiktiraf oleh syarak, seperti perang bagi menakutkan musuh, ataupun ia tidak mengandungi unsur penipuan, seperti merawat penyakit dll.

Short Break at PD

We took a short break last Friday and drove down to Port Dickson (PD). I really like when we have a nearby place for a holiday. Any time we feel like going on holiday or away from the city, we have PD there waiting : ) best kan?? We actually did not plan pun, but Mr.H ada kerja kat PD so we took the opportunity to bring our children for a short holiday. The hotel was paid by Mr. H’s company so better use it well...hehehe.


We stayed at avilion admiral cove. Nice hotel... The hotel was located on a small cove that had a marina located there. At this hotel you'll get to experience the great scenery with the yachts.The view was so nice with sunset, offshore platform, and bungalow near the sea. I've stayed there few times. At first I thought to stay at the hotel apartment. Unfortunately, all full dunno why... :(




Once you arrived at the lobby, you'll see several of these comfy bed/sofas hybrids for you to laze around

I love the room so much. The room came with a mini pantry area, which was great...senang nak masak maggie mee and basuh membasuh botol susu si Labu :). The bed and pillows were comfortable and clean. There is a ceiling fan above the bed. The room is really huge! Beside the bedroom (which can be partitioned off...alamak!..tak ada pic la pulak...) there is a sofa day bed.



Nice pool that kids are sure to love!

After breakfast yang tak seberapa sedap...we decided to check out early. Before heading home We visited a nearby ostrich farm, dah banyak kali datang PD we never been to ostrich farm, hmm... there is nothing special there. Ada kambing jinak yang menakutkan Labu...but kids are happy because they get experience feeding the ostrich, although at first semua macam takut and geli, including myself :D lepas tu all happy and dah tak takut dah. There is a snake show. Dina gets a chance to touch and hold the snake. Very brave girl! I takut giler and geli!!


Done and had fun at the ostrich farm, we drove back to KL, stopped over at the R & R for lunch and solat Zohor. we got home about 6pm.

That is our short trip to PD. We would come again if there is an opportunity.

Me as working mom

Being a working mom is really hard. Further more I do not have a maid. Am the one who handle the washing and cleaning myself ( Mr H ada tolong la jugak). Not because I can not afford to have maids, when thinking about this , I bayar taska for a month pun dah boleh pay two maids. but I do not want to take risks with the maid. Not everyone managed to get a good maid. For example, my neighbors, all kinds of stories about their maids. Ada yang lari dari rumah lah, buat kerja tak betul lah. The good is that when you have a maid, you do not have to think about what to cook today, kain yang dah dibasuh tak lipat lagi or tak susun lagi dalam wardrobe, sampah yang tak di buang, the dishes unwashed...huhuhu

Like me, as nice as it is to put on nice clothes and make up all week, I can't help but think of potty training tricks and recipes that may persuade my toddlers during important discussion. And as nice as it is to spend time with my family at night and on the weekends, I often find my mind roving back to that letter I have to reply or an appointment I have to set up for my boss. There's never enough time in the day, I never feel like I get enough sleep, I always sleep late and woke up as early as 5.30 a.m.

Despite all that, Alhamdulillah. I felt proud of myself, though I work I can still prepare breakfast for my child to be brought to school. I still have time eventhough only 10 minutes to see my child's homework everynight or weekends. There were mothers who did not work does not make breakfast for their children...beli jer senang kan :) and langsung tak tengok pun buku sekolah anak. I also feel fortunate to have a husband who is very understanding and willing to help me, and equally helpful and tak cerewet. Tolong i clean up the house :D and bersama-sama susah dan senang mendidik anak2 dan menguruskan rumahtangga.



Even though I was a working mother, I would not neglect my family. that is my promise. Mr. H says, if I want to quit my job, I can quit anytime. That's up to me. defenitely not now lah... maybe one day =). Ini adalah kerana there are still plenty of designer bag that I want to buy (berangan okeh) , I want to shop without thinking about where to find the money because I know at the end of the month I will have my income. I can buy whatever my children want without asking money from my husband. I have my own savings from my own income. I can help my parents without the help of my husband. I can take my mother shopping at any time ( i know my Mak will love it! hehehe).

I berdoa semoga Allah memurahkan rezeki so that i can help my family and bayar my hutang...huhuhu...Amin... =D
