Rindu

2011-08-14T12:11:00.003+08:00

Hari ni hari Ahad yang sangat seronok untuk rehat-rehat di rumah. Tak panas sangat. Tapi nasib badan la..kena datang lab. Terpaksa la kerja overtime..cuti2 pun datang juga. Nak buat camna dah terlewat dua bulan juga la dari schedule..haishhh. Ada dua orang lab mate under supervisor yang sama pun tengah buat lab. Gigih sungguh.
Rasa malas sebenarnya nak ke lab. Tak suka..mesti miss saat-saat Muaz bangun tidur. One of my favourite moment. Suka tengok dia buka2 mata ja..senyum kat kita. Kadang-kadang dia bangun ummi takdak..dia mula la panggil dengan suara comel dia "ummmiiii...ummmiiii...ummmiii". Boleh dengar sampai dapur. Tak pun dia bangun sendiri..buka pintu terus bagi salam "Asshalamualaikum" dengan pelat dia tu. Kalau dia bangun menangis, abah kat tepi pujuk pun dia tak layan. Mesti nak cari ummi juga..suka..suka. Rasa macam hari-hari bangun orang first yang Muaz nak tengok mesti ummi. Perasaan tu..susah betul nak describe..lebih dari gembira.
Tadi call, pukul 9 Muaz bangun dah. Dah makan pun..spaghetti semalam. Tengah main kat luar. Tak sabar nak tunggu habis run rheometer..nak balik rumah..rindu sangat dah dengan Muaz.

'Baca' yassin sampai tertidur..tunggu ummi habis masak..cian dia

Taska oh taska

2011-07-28T12:37:00.009+08:00

Muaz dah nak hampir 3 tahun. Dah mula tunjuk ciri-ciri nak bersosial. Dah lama pun nampak ciri-ciri ini. Tiap-tiap petang ja, turun kereta menjerit-jerit dia panggil anak jiran sebelah "Qalesya, Qalesya". Malu saya..anak bujang saya panggil anak dara orang. Kadang-kadang Muaz tak mau turun dari kereta, suruh saya bawa dia jalan2 naik kereta lagi walaupun sebelum tu dah 2 round saya pusing taman. Kalau tak menangis-nangis, habis dia mengamuk dalam kereta. Satu cara saja nak menamatkan drama petang ini dengan umpan dia "Tu Muaz, see Qalesya ada..tunggu Muaz, nak main dengan Muaz". Sangat berkesan umpan ni tapi itupun kalau si Qalesya tu ada kat luar rumah.
Sebelum ni Qalesya dengan Khairina (kembar dua ni) tinggal bergililir2 dengan pengasuh yang sama mengasuh Muaz. Tapi Muaz panggil dua2 nih Qalesya ja regardless yang mana satu. Tapi sejak bulan lepas kembar ni tak pi dah rumah pengasuh. Tinggal la Muaz sorang2 sebagai budak paling besar kat rumah pengasuh dengan 4 orang baby bawah setahun. Kesian Muaz takdak kawan dah. Jadinya, kami bercadang hantar Muaz ke nursery. Biar dia berkawan. Sedih juga nak hantar Muaz pi nusery. Makcik pengasuh selama ni jaga Muaz dengan baik, siap kadang2 bekalkan saya dengan breakfast dan dinner lagi.
Sekarang tengah pening nak cari nursery/taska untuk Muaz. Mula-mula tu dah berkenan dengan satu taska baru dekat sangat dengan UPM. Bukaan dia luas,maklum la rumah corner lot yang telah diubahsuai. Tapi masa survey terakhir baru-baru ni dengan suami dan muaz, rasa macam tak best pulak. Ada 22 orang budak, tapi pengasuh ada 2 orang ja. Memnag la diberitahu yang pengasuh ketiga akan ada, tapi benda tak pasti lagi. Lagi satu tak ada kawasan untukbudak-budak bermain kat luar. Suami pun tak setuju. Aiseh..dah bgtau dekat makcik pengasuh tak hantaq dah Muaz bulan depan. Lagipun bulan ni makcik nak cuti raya lama, (biasala babysitter selalu problem ni la) so memang tak boleh nak hantaq muaz balik. Semalam pusing-pusing area rumah dengan Puncak Jalil. Ada la beberapa nursery yang nampak dari luar ok la. Ada satu nursery ni, kebetulan owner dia ada tengah hantar bekalan grocery kat taska dia. Tanya-tanya la dia. Menarik juga sebab owner nih ada sekali kat tadika, mengajar dan jaga budak. Sebelum ni semua nursery kami pi tak pernah jumpa owner. Biasanya kami dilayan oleh staf saja. Owner pi mana pun tak tau. Taska ni ada satu lg rumah dekat kawasan yang sama. Suami mention la, tadi kami pusing tengok kat rumah tu rumput tak potong, pokok-pokok kering pun ada. Malam tu owner taska ni call, inform semua komen tadi dah diambil tindakan. Boleh la kalau nak pusing-pusing tengok. Jadi, boleh la nak consider taska ni. Drawback dia, saya kena pusing jauh sikit nak hantar dan ambil muaz.
Ada satu taska dekat sangat dengan rumah. Tapi check JKM,tak ada pun dalam senarai taska berdaftar. Muaz pun pernah duduk sini beberapa hari masa pengasuh lama dia tiba-tiba ambil emergency leave. Setiap kali ambil Muaz, comot ja dia. Tak apa la,sebulan ni try dulu hantar taska kat puncak jalil tu. Sebenarnya saya suka sangat dengan satu taska kat cyberjaya ni. Tengok dari website dia memang menarik. Memenuhi ciri-ciri taska yang saya idamkan untuk Muaz. Tapi bayaran dia dua kali ganda dari taska biasa. Tapi tak kisah la asalkan berbaloi dengan perkhidmatan yang diberikan. Tengok la, minggu ni nak pi survey tengok.
Harap semuanya ok untuk Muaz. Sembang-sembang dengan member, anak dua bulan dah hantar nursery. Pesan dia, tawakkal ja. Tapi anak-anak dia yang pi nursery semua pandai berdikari, Jangan risau sangat. Biar anak membesar jadi tough dengan keadaan sekeliling. Ok Muaz, selamat pergi nursery esok. Nanti Muaz ada ramai kawan-kawan baru ya.

Cak!!! Muaz dah besar..nak masuk school dah

Pagi yang kosong

2011-07-08T09:11:00.004+08:00

Saya? mana boleh cuti. nak mampus kena bambu ngan SV..nak kejar dateline..tak boleh la nak ber'enjoy'..geng pun takdak. Takpa hari nih..ini bilik postgrad I yang punya :-)

My workplace

Confusion

2011-07-07T15:48:00.005+08:00

I'm in the middle of my 2nd phase of experiment. Lots of lab work everyday 8 am to 6pm. But today, at some point the doubts began to arise. Did I use a suitable probe? What is my justification that it is suitable? The literature review said so...really? How do you know that this method appropriate to apply for your sample? What range should be tested? I think I am very sure before I started this experiment. I have all the information I need. Confidence is not enough. The information is not enough I think. Every time I read new articles, it will lead me to new finding. At what point should I stop searching? Every single thing that I chose and I did must have solid and concrete reasons behind it..or else I'll have tough time during my viva.. I'm really tired of thinking. I'm going nowhere. Stuck here. I feel like everything I did past few weeks is a waste. Should I just continue and figure it out later or stop.think.redo. Time is flying so fast that I just realized it's already July. I really need to push myself faster. I want to finish my lab work by the end of this year..but all I want to do now is scream as loud as I can and smash something...huhuhuhu.

Nope..I want to go home and cuddling, hugging, playing with my little boy. Have a nice Thursday evening, gals.

Kes rompak dan tetak

2011-06-23T09:32:00.003+08:00

Kisah ini terjadi lebih kurang dalam 2 minggu lepas tak silap. Saya dan kawan baik Lah, baru balik dari lunch di Bandar Baru Bangi. Dalan perjalanan tu rasa dahaga la pulak..jadi nak berhenti la dekat our usual spot-beli-ayaq-lepas makan (kes tak cukup minum ayaq segelas la ni),Petronas (yang tepi higway dari bandar baru bangi nak ke UPM).
Sampai terus parking kat tepi kedai mesra dia. Masuk2 dah rasa keadaan kecoh-kecoh. Langsung tak boleh nak fikir nak beli ayaq apa. Ada seorang kakak ni dalam keadaan marah2 cemas. Terdengar sikit-sikit perbualan kakak ni dengan kakak cashier kedai mesra. Dengar macam ada kes ja. Mula-mula ingat kakak cashier kedai mesra yang kena ragut. Masa nak bayar kat kaunter, sibuk la kami 2 orang ni tanya kat kakak cashier satu lagi. yang juga saksi kejadian. Rupa-rupanya 15 minit sebelum kami sampai, ada seorang budak perempuan kena tetak dan rompak masa isi minyak kereta. Dekat Petronas ni, tempat isi minyak dia ada bahagian depan dan belakang. Tengah2 kedai mesra membahagikan bahagian isi minyak. Budak perempuan tu isi minyak kat bahagian belakang. Dari cerita kakak tu, tengah isi minyak ni datang seorang laki minta rantai tangan dia. Budak tu mungkin panik, melawan la. Perompak tu bawa parang. Terus dia bawa keluar parang, tetak budak tu. Dapat rantai terus cabut. Kebetulan ada seorang pelanggan nampak, kejar motor perompak nih. Tapi terlepas. Tak pasti kat mana kena tetak dan tahap keseriusannya. Ambulans dah datang, baru sekejap sebelum kami sampai dah ke hospital. Tinggal tunggu polis ja nak datang. Masa dengar cerita kakak tu, berderau darah dan sangat2 terkejut. Rasa sangat2 sebak dan kasihan kat budak perempuan tu. Nak isi minyak pun kena rompak. Terus rasa macam tak selamat ja sekarang ni nak buat apa-apa pun tanpa perlu rasa risau. Saya sangat marah dan benci dengan perompak tu. Menganiaya orang..sampai cedera semata2 nak dapatkan rantai tangan. Teruk sangat ka sampai ambil jalan senang merompak orang.
Semenjak hari tu, kalau nak isi minyak kereta saya tengok dulu ramai orang ka tak. Kalau ada ramai orang baru isi. Saya pun memang tak gemar pakai barang kemas di badan, tapi masih kena berhati2. Saya berdoa semoga kecederaan budak perempuan itu tidak parah dan dia cepat pulih sepenuhnya.
Kepada semua kawan-kawan dan saudara mara saya, terutamanya perempuan, sentiasa berhati-hati. Tambah-tambah masa memandu seorang. Tak apa take time nak buat semua precaution sepatutnya. Sebelum berjalan baca ayat kursi, semoga Allah melindungi kita dari bahaya yang kita tak sedari dan jangkakan.

Pagi yang ceria

2011-06-01T10:27:00.007+08:00

Bangun pagi ini dikejutkan dengan hadiah di depan rumah. Suami yang ambilkan lalu diberi pada isteri yang baru bangun tidur. Ha..siapa bagi hadiah ini? Mula-mula ingat suami yang buat kejutan..sebab hadiah ini diletak dalam beg kertas Clark. Mana tau suami dapat ilham nak buat kejutan untuk si isteri. Oh..rupa-rupanya hadiah dari Ayu. Segar terus mata yang mengantuk ni. Kami suami isteri tak sabar2 buka hadiah. Sebenarnya hadiah ni sempena menang pertandingan teka inti sandwich kat blog Ayu. Inilah pertama kali saya menang pertandingan tau sepanjang hidup ini. Haruslah sangat2 gembira.
Bila Ayu mai rumah hantaq hadiah? Haruslah malam tadi..sah2 kami sekeluarga tidoq mati tak dengaq apa2. Bestnya kalau tiap2 pagi buka pintu ada hadiah depan rumah. Mesti hari2 happy. Terima kasih Ayu. Hadiah yang dapat tu pun sangat best. Suka sangat2. Ceria hariku hari ini..walaupun hari ini mendung. Thanks again Ayu..a meaningful way of giving gift and the gift itself.
Tadaa...ini hadiahnya..ada 2 u'olls.

Kelantan 4.0: The Wedding

2011-04-27T16:44:00.002+08:00

Phew!!! Lamanya baru nak update sambungan Kelantan nih. Salahkan kesibukkan aktiviti makmal dan persiapan kenduri sebelah keluarga saya. Ok..let's the story begin!!!
Majlis perkahwinan diadakan di rumah keluarga pengantin perempuan. Besaq2 no rumah2 orang2 kelantan nih. Hujan renyai2 di waktu pagi seperti menambahkan suasana aman dan romantis untuk majlis ini. Tema warnanya kalau tak silap saya peach and pink mungkin. Lembut ja warna nih. Sesuai sangat untuk majlis perkahwinan. Menyerlahkan penampilan raja sehari yang mengenakan persalinan berwarna kuning diraja. Secara peribadi, saya sangat suka hiasan pelamin yang simple tapi elegant dan sangat2..sangat2 suka dengan makanan yang dihidangkan. Kita tengok gambar ok. Gambar2 sepanjang kenduri dulu.

Sangat menarik hiasan 'ombak2' di siling bahagian depan rumah
dan gantungan 'flower balls'

Persembahan silat untuk pasangan raja sehari.
Di sebelah kanan hantaran dari pihak perempuan, hantaran
warna jingga dari pihak lelaki

Muaz nih..nak manja2 lagi ngan Pak Ngah.
Pak Ngah dah ada Mak Ngah tau.

Makan beradab

Bilik pengantin yang..wow!!

Handphoneku

2011-04-27T10:03:00.004+08:00

image's source: itechnews.net

Kawan-kawan sekalian..buat masa ini saya tak ada handphone. Handphone accident. Tak dapat diselamatkan walaupun tuan dia berusaha dengan gigih mendapatkannya kembali.Ha..nak tau detail?
Kejadian berlaku seminggu yang sudah. Seorang pelajar pasca-siswazah UPM masuk ke tandas dengan memakai lab coat. Kebetulan handphonenya diletakkan dalam lab coat. Sebenarnya, sebelum masuk ke tandas, beliau sudah diberi 'ilham' supaya jangan letak handphone dalam poket, nanti jatuh. Tapi diabaikan ' ilham' tersebut. Setelah selesai menjalankan urusan, handphonenya terjatuh dari poket terus ke lantai dan dengan kelajuan yang pantas terus terpelanting ke dalam lubang tandas. Malang bagi beliau..tandas itu adalah tandas cangkung. Yang tinggal sebagai kenangan hanyalah cover belakang handphone itu sahaja.
Aargghh!! Benci la bila ingat balik. Sayang gambar2 Muaz dalam tu. Tak transfer lagi masuk laptop. Gambar best pulak tu. Cuba juga cari handphone tu..dengan bantuan Kak Siti, lab technician. Terima kasih banyak2 Kak Siti. Kami bukak tau tangki bawah tu...yang tempat semua sisa2 diturunkan ke situ. Nasib baik toilet tu orang tak pakai sangat..so tangki tu bebas la dari sisa2 nyahtinja. Tapi kami ada terbuka tangki yang toilet bawah punya. Tak mau cerita...pemandangan tak best. Saya kagum dan insaf dengan staf Indah Water kerana menjalankan tanggungjawab dengan baik selepas melihat keadaan tangki tu.
Cuba2 la flush..harap2 handphone tu jatuh la kesitu. Dengan harapan nak amik memory card ja. Handphone memang dah tak boleh diselamatkan dah. Sampai ke petang..sat2 pi check tangki tu kalau2 handphone tu jatuh..tak nampak ghupa pun. Mungkin handphone tu tersangkut kat mana2 selekoh kot. Hati ini dah pasrah dan redha ja. Tak apa..gambar-gambar Muaz tu still ada dalam memory otakku...kataku memujuk hati ini. Tapi!!!Ada banyak gambar2 favourite aiii!!! Kalau boleh putar masa amik balik gambar2 muaz tu..nangis2 call eddy gtau.

Pengajaran dari peristiwa ini:
1. Jangan sekali2 letak barang2 berharga dalam poket bila masuk tandas, Kita tak tau apa akan terjadi. Bila dah jadi..tak boleh buat apa dah. Sanggup nak buka tangki tandas??...huhuhuh.
2.Kalau kena bawa masuk jugak, guna la tandas duduk. Kebarangkalian untuk diselamatkan apa2 berharga yang jatuh tu tinggi la.
3.Kepada yang menggunakan tandas duduk, sila buat kerja anda secara duduk. Jangan la mencangkung atas tu..anda faham maksud saya? Geli tau tgk kesan2 tapak kasut, calar2 bekas heels kat situ tau. Not hygienic ok.
4.Selepas ini kena selalu siap sedia dengan kertas pelapik tandas duduk. Kalau rasa2 tandas tu ada kesan2 di atas, boleh pakai benda alah tu.
5.Setiap kali ada gambar baru diambil, terus transfer laptop. Tak mau la menyesal di kemudian hari.

Kelantan 2.0: Solemnization Ceremony

2011-03-25T10:14:00.007+08:00

Continuation from the first part of our Kelantan's trip..

It was already 4 p.m., but other family members didn't arrive yet. Where are they? Are they still on their way? Lost their way? Just MakNdak's family called us asking for direction. Quite hard to describe the area. The landmark is Balai Islam, Kota Bharu. But how to get to the Balai Islam? Ok..lost.
The solemnization was scheduled at 5p.m. in Masjid Sultan Ismail Petra a.k.a Masjid Kubang Kerian a.k.a Masjid Biru (because the dome is blue). Don't want to be late, we asked them to go directly to the mosque. At 4.45 pm, we went to the mosque and reached there 10 minutes later. Thank Allah..everybody was already here. The solat Asar was just to be performed, so some of us who didn't perform Solat Jama' yet, join the prayers. The solemnization started around 5.15 p.m. Alhamdulillah everything went smoothly..my brother Wan, safely married to his loved ones, Aimi. It was a happy moment indeed for both the bride and bridegroom as well as the families. Short photo shoot session was carried out afterwards to capture the memorable moment.
To Wan and Aimi, congratulations to both of you. Kak Long, Abang Eddy and Muaz wish both of you a happy and blessed married life. Embarking to a new phase of life might be a tough challenge. With love. patience and faith in Allah...insya Allah you'll overcome all the obstacles together. Cepat-cepat dapat baby ya..Muaz nak kawan:-)

Paying full attention to Tok Kadi..Nervous, no?
My dad is in black attire while the bride's dad is in the cream attire
The ladies sat together at the back to witness the joy of love of
Wan and Aimi

"Aku terima nikahnya Nurul Aimi binti Norazmi...."

Sah? Sah...

Setel...dah boleh bergelak ketawa ngan pak mertua

Kiss for the lovely wife

Sweet..the mommies

The gentlemen of both families

The ladies of both families

The sisters...and Muaz!!!

Muaz dapat makngah baru...yeyeye

Rombongan Pengantin ke Kelantan 1.0

2011-03-24T09:43:00.007+08:00

Ini adalah sebuah coretan perjalanan kami sempena meraikan perkahwinan satu-satunya adik lelaki saya, Wan dan isterinya Aimi di Kelantan. Majlis pernikahan berlangsung pada hari Sabtu, 12/3/2011 di Masjid Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. Alhamdulillah..kami sekeluarga menerima orang baru atau bagi saya adik perempuan yang baru.

Perjalanan kami bermula pada pukul 5.30 pagi hari Sabtu, 12/3/2011. Keluarga Pak Njang dan Pak Cik Min telah bertolak pada hari Jumaat dan bermalam di rumah Mak Ngah di Ipoh. Kami mengambil keputusan tidak mengikuti konvoi dan sekiranya ada peluang bertemu konvoi kereta, kami akan turut serta. Kami mengambil keputusan untuk berhenti sembahyang subuh di RnR Rawang. Keadaan surau sungguh sesak memandangkan sudah masuk waktu Subuh. Setengah jam kami di sana, kami teruskan perjalanan kami. Oh ya..semua ahli rombongan bersetuju untuk menggunakan lauan Grik-Jeli untuk ke Kelantan. 2 jam perjalanan melalui Lebuhraya Utara Selatan, kami tiba di susur keluar Kuala Kangsar. Inilah pertama kali kami sekeluarga melalui Lenggong, Perak. Di sepanjang perjalanan terdapat banyak tempat-tempat menarik yang boleh disinggah atau untuk bercuti seperti Tasik Raban dan Empangan Chenderoh. Pemandangan sepanjang perjalanan sangat cantik dan tenang. Lanskap semulajadi yang hijau tak jemu dipandang. Lenggong juga dikenali sebagai bandar pra sejarah. kerana di Lenggong bermula penempatan awal atau zaman palelolitik di Semenanjung.Ada banyak tempat bersejarah yang boleh dilawati di sini seperti Muzium Arkeologi Lenggong. Kesimpulannya Lenggong boleh dijadikan tempat percutian sekeluarga sekiranya mempunyai anak-anak yang sudah bersekolah. Di sini kita boleh mencuba sukan rekreasi air di Tasik Raban, meneroka Gua Tok Giring dan menghayati sejarah di pusat arkeologi. Terdapat banyak juga lata untuk bermandi manda di kawasan ini. Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai percutian di Lenggong, boleh rujuk laman sesawang ini: http://www.pelanconganlenggong.my

Seawalnya, kami merancang untuk berhenti rehat di tempat di mana MakSu sekeluarga sedang bersarapan. Tetapi kerana pemanduan yang sangat laju. kami terlepas tempat tersebut. Kami berhenti rehat di Kawasan Rehat Majlis Daerah Lenggong untuk bersarapan. Hanya satu gerai mamak menjual roti canai yang dibuka. Mungkin kerana keadaan di sini yang tidak kelam kabut, maka servis di gerai ini begitu perlahan. Sedang menikmati sarapan, Mak Teh menelefon untuk memaklumkan yang kereta Mak Ndak penuh, oleh itu Tok Wan akan naik dengan kami, memandangkan kereta kami ada tempat kosong. Hanya seorang sepupu saya saja yang menumpang kami. Usai sarapan, sementara menunggu Mak Ndak dan keluarga sampai, Muaz mengisi masa dengan bermain di taman permainan yang disediakan.

"Ini tempat saya yang punya"

Secebis pemandangan indah Lenggong, Perak

Lebih kurang 10 minit, Mak Ndak pun sampai. Apabila semua sudah sedia kami pun menyambung perjalanan kami. Keadaan jalan agak lengang tetapi kadang-kadang kami bertemu dengan kenderaan bergerak perlahan disebabkan ada lori besar di hadapan. Jalan yang lurus dan baik membuatkan perjalanan lebih lancar.

Kami tiba di Grik tidak lama kemudian. Selepas melui pekan Grik, kami menempuh jalan berbukit yang berliku-liku. Hujan renyai-renyai sepanjang perjalanan dari sini. Merentasi hutan hujan tropika membuatkan kami tersangat kagum dengan kebesaran Allah. Pada mulanya saya bercadang untuk berhenti di Tasik Banding bagi menikmati pemandangn yang indah, tetapi TokWan menyarankan agar kami berhenti di 'atas bukit' kerana tempat tersebut terletak di tengah-tengah antara Grik dan Kota Bharu. Akur dengan nasihat orang lebih tua, kami menyambung perjalanan kami. Sepanjang perjalanan, telefon kerapkali berdering kerana ahli rombongan lain bertanyakan lokasi kami. Nampaknya kami berada di depan sekali..mungkin. Lebih 2 jam menempuh perjalanan yang mencabar kami tiba di 'atas bukit' iaitu Kawasan Rehat Titiwangsa. Terdapat sebuah kedai makan beroperasi di situ yang menjual juadah nasi campur. Saya agak perniagaan ini adalah perniagaan keluarga. Kami hanya memesan teh panas kerana belum terasa lapar. Terdapat juga tandas dan surau disediakan. Walaupun dibina secara tandas kampung, tetapi ianya bersih dan selesa. Suasana sungguh sejuk di atas bukit ini. Kebetulan, keluarga Mak Ndak pun tiba. Kami mengambil bekalan makanan yang dibawa Mak Ndak untuk dimakan. Ada nasi goreng pedas dan tak pedas dan juga cekodok pisang.

Sedang menikmati makanan, kami terlihat kereta MakNdak berlalu pergi. Cepat-cepat kami habiskan makanan untuk meneruskan perjalanan. TokWan seperti mahu menunggu ahli rombongan lain. Setelah menghubungi ahli konvoi yang lain, kami dimaklumkan yang mereka masih belum melepasi Tasik Banding. Tidak mahu menuggu lama, kami pun bergerak. Rupa-rupanya kami tersilap. Kia Sorento itu bukan kereta MakNdak..cuma warnanya yang sama begitu juga dengan nombor platnya adalah nombor Perak. Kami menyedari kesilapan kami setelah dihubungi MakNdak bertanyakan tentang nasi gorengnya. Disangkakan kami telah mebawa lari nasi goreng tersebut. Seawalnya kami pun pelik kenapa MakNdak pergi dengan meninggalkan nasi gorengnya dengan kami. Rupa-rupanya ada kesilapan visual di sini. Situasinya, kami makan di bahagian depan, manakala MakNdak masih di ruang makan bahagian belakang kedai tersebut. Oleh itu kami tidak ada hubungan visual dengan Mak Ndak. "Kami minta maaf MakNdak, nasi goreng MakNdak sedap la tu yang bawa lari tu ."

Kabus di Banjaran Titiwangsa

Kami tiba di Jeli dalam pukul 1.00 tengahari. 2 jam perjalanan termasuk kesesakan yang teruk di Kota Bharu menyebabkan kami tiba agak lewat dari dijangkakan. Kota Bharu telah banyak berubah dengan lebih banyak pembangunan dari dahulu. Kali terkahir saya ke Kota Bharu adalah 15 tahun dahulu. Kenderaan juga bertambah, mungkin kerana musim cuti persekolahan. Kami selamat tiba lebih kurang pukul 3 petang dan disambut oleh mak, abah, opah dan adik perempuan saya.Mereka telah tiba sehari lebih awal.Sayangnya, saya benar-benar terlupa nama banglo tersebut. Ia sebuah banglo yang luas dan selesa serta boleh memuatkan ramai orang. Kami dimaklumkan bahawa 11 buah kereta penuh mengikuti rombongan pengantin lelaki yang terdiri daripada saudara-mara terdekat kami. Kami adalah yang terawal sampai. Sementara menunggu ahli keluarga yang lain tiba, kami merehatkan diri untuk majlis pernikahan yang akan berlangsung selepas Asar.

Alhamdulillah semua ahli keluarga selamat sampai di Kelantan. Saya begitu teruja dengan majlis perkahwinan ini kerana tidak pernah lagi merasa pengalaman menghadiri kenduri kahwin di Kelantan. Akan datang..catatan majlis pernikahan dan majlis perkahwinan adik saya.. bersambung..

Wordless Wednesday 1.0

2011-03-23T10:33:00.005+08:00

This is my first time to come up with my wordless Wednesday. Great idea, so that at least once a week I'll post something to this blog. Enjoy!!!

Pantai Batu Burok, Kuala Terengganu (14/03/11)

Primula Parkroyal Beach Resort, Kuala Terengganu

Updating the blog

2011-03-21T16:09:00.002+08:00

Hi..Assalamualaikum!!!! Entry kali nih saja2 ja..nak update blog. Try2 tukaq layout blog..nak bagi nampak lady2 cket. Insya Allah cat rumah baru..semangat nak blog tinggi la lagi kan. Many things happened since my last entry. Alhamdulillah 1st phase experiment finally..done. My SV has asked me to start writing my first ever manuscript to be published..and at the same time start doing my 2nd phase of experiment. Hope I can cope with all the workloads. My target to complete the manuscript writing..first draft to be submitted to my SV..3 months..as well as my 2nd phase.

March has been a great month for us. First..my only brother got married last week, 12.03.2011. We went to Kelantan, the bride's side to celebrate it. Since we were already in the east side of peninsular..so three of us..yes, just us went to Terengganu for short family getaway. It was really enjoyable and fun and we really look forward to have more vacations this year..if time permits us. I would say that I really in love with Terengganu..seronok sangat2.
p/s: org2 terengganu sah2 mesti bangga nih :-)

Well..now I really have tough time to pull back myself together..to focus on my study. My current level of studiousness is very2 low. That's why I hate long leave. Before the trips..I think I'm at my highest pace..really put my effort on my study. It takes quite a long time to have that momentum. Now a week after..I'm still lazy..buka internet..konon la kan nak find and read journals...ke laut la jawabnya..right after a blog..then another blog..until..omigosh!!!it's 5.30 already...arghhh!!!!

To speed up my healing process..I always keep myself reminded.."anim, u've to update your work every two weeks..remember what Dr. Chin said"..and the image of her come right to my mind. I guess I'm so lucky to have her as my SV..she has her own ways to manage her student..to motivate us. So..guess..insya Allah..I'll try my best to back on track...starting from today. There's lot of work to do before running my next experiment. This time I'll be dealing with an instrument which I'm not familiar with. Never done my experiment with it.

I try not to promise...but will try my best to allocate my time to make a review on the trip and the wedding. Till then..Congratulation to my brother, Wan and warm welcome to our new sister, Aimi..we're very happy to have you in our family.

Architect or Engineer to be..

2011-01-30T18:35:00.007+08:00

Latest update of Muaz. Anak bujang saya sorang ni..suka sangat susun-susun barang. His most favourite is to arrange his lorries and cars in one long queue. Blocking main hallway of the house. Macam buat roadblock..selalu ummi yang terlanggar roadblock tu. Tapi jangan ada sesiapa pun cuba nak alihkan susunan yang dia dah buat. Marah sungguh dia. Lepas dah siap susun tu..tarik tangan ummi atau abah..just to acknowledge it :-)
Bila ummi masuk dapur..Muaz pun join juga. Dia susun tupperware, periuk jadi tower. Jangan kacau tower tu sampai dia tidur. This is his latest skills. Start buat since he was about 1 years and 8 months old. Muaz dah 2 tahun sebulan baru ummi update. Ummi yang slow ni. Muaz nak jadi arkitek ka engineer ni sayang?

Roadblock..roadblock. I was smiling because I know ummi
will run over it like she always do..I loooooove to tease my ummi

Amazed by my own block tower

Sorry guys..I could only show you the back of my lorry..confidential.
Camera is courtesy from ummi's hand phone. Nope..I secretly used hers:-)

Assalamualaikum semua...

Dekat tiga bulan saya tak update blog. Banyak sebenarnya nak dicerita..tapi tak tercerita. Lepas ja habis final exam..9-5 pm spend time kat lab ja..running my first phase of experiment. Balik rumah..terus tukar title..housewife+mom to my husband and little Muaz. Pesan my SV..right after any experiments..have to analyze your result before you proceed to another batch of experiment. Warghhh...hajat di hati nak stay up..atau bangunn awal pagi..nak buat apa yg patut...tak tercapai lagi.
Harapan tu nak habis kan first phase ni sebelum new year. Tapi confirm dah tak tercapai. Sempat buat satu type of peanuts ja. Satu type lg..tahun depan...postpone lagi. Benci!!!. Semalam..bedridden..saya seorang ja kena keracunan makanan. Tak tau mana silap..semua makanan saya makan..muaz ngan edi pun makan juga. Tapi saya seorang saja muntah2 dan sakit perut. Sampai hari ni saya masih rasa loya dan pening2. Bukan2..ini bukan tanda Muaz nak dapat adik..ini sah saya kena food poisoning. Hari ini saya gagahkan juga nak buat lab..kena buat..tak boleh postpone. Sebab esok lab yang saya pakai ditutup untuk aktiviti gotong royong. Jadinya tinggal rabu,khamis, jumaat. Minggu depannya 27-31 ada training proximate analysis equipment. Tak boleh buat lab juga.
Pagi tadi dah bakar satu batch kacang. Tak tahan bau kacang. Pening. Trus stop. Sekarang tengah berehat2..insya Allah kalau kuat lepas lunch sambung balik. Nak bakar 3 batches ja lagi. Rabu sampai jumaat nak buat analisis sepatutnya. Itu plan saya buat masa ni. Pening2..cepat la hilang..amin

Muaz is 2 years young

2010-12-12T16:23:00.004+08:00

Alhamdulillah..Muaz already 2 years 'young' on 14/12/2010. It has been a precious, memorable 2 years for ummi and abah to have you, to love you, to be loved by you, Muaz darling.
In the past two years, you have become such an amazing son..so brilliant..so adorable..so mischievous but we really enjoyed entertaining your tantrum sometimes. You did it in your own cute style that tackled our hearts. It melted our hearts.. from wanting to scold you, instead we hug you and end up we laugh together.
You have grown up so fast that I wish you stay baby longer..I did cherish the moment. You'll have a lot to explore in years to come. We will be by your side to guide you and shower you with our unconditional love..insya Allah.
Upon reaching 2 years of your life..ummi and abah are so glad that you have achieved a tremendous milestone at this young age. We will surely remember your passion and excitement with LORRY. Yes, from all of many wonderful things in this world, you picked lorry to become your favourite things to venture when you are a toddler. How can we even forget every time we take our ride together you surely will pointed out to every single lorries that you saw.
"LOOOORRRYY!!!" You will shout with sparkle in your eyes. Whenever we reached our home, you'll impatiently run to your lorries and pull my hand to play together. These moments are the treasure of my life.
I know you are a strong little boy. You recovered quite impressive from your finger's surgery when you're 1 and 1/2 year. Everything has turned to how they used to be..Alhamdulillah. I really wish I have the power to get rid those days..but instead I always pray that Allah will protect you form any harm and danger throughout your life.
Muaz dearie, ummi and abah just want you to know that we love you so much..nothing in this world is comparable to our abundant love to you. You are the only you..nothing could replace you. We always pray that you will have a happy life..be a true mukmin, have a strong faith in Allah in everything..every time..everywhere and be a person who will enchant everyone around you..insya Allah.

Test 2 Advanced Statistical Method

2010-09-30T10:31:00.004+08:00

Dear all,

Wish me luck for the test this afternoon. Pity me, the Eid celebration is still fresh in the air but I have my statistic class second test just a week after the holidays. I enjoy the class..the lecturer is the expert in the field yet he is still very humble in person. But..the test..urggghhh!!! Anyway..I have 3 hours to go before the test..better prepare before the battle.

From the three of us, Eddy, Anim & Muaz...Happy Eidulfitri to all of you..

Muaz in his almost complete raya's outfit. The kopiah only lasted for 3 minutes..

Sony Service Centre Malaysia

2010-09-25T10:12:00.006+08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Day readers,

It has been so long since my last posting..but recent incident had called me to voice out my dissatisfaction and give you guys out there a little information regarding this incident. The issue was when i visited the Sony Service Center HQ at Tanjung Bungah, Penang on problem rectifying for my wife's new Sony Vaio. First of all, let me tell a bit about the laptop problem.

The pink vaio was about 2 months old now, and the problem is the hard drive when we touch it in static condition will make/ produce a kind of loosen sound. To confirm on the real condition, we went to the nearest Sony Sales Center and do the trial of identifying the same problem on other Vaio laptop which in the same class/ variant, and tada!!no sound at all. So, i assume that there is a small assembling problem on the laptop's hard drive. Then, during the Raya holiday, we went to the Sony HQ in Tanjung Bungah, Penang, to overcome the problem. At first sight, the place was quite nice with free Nescafe serve(self-service), and nice environment free internet kiosk offered. Then, the situation changed dull with the attitude of the customer service personnel.

The person was not friendly, and doesn't know anything about Sony product.. Then, ask la for the technician if know nothing..technicians pulak not available.. Then, she said, any problem..the laptop has to be left for check and repair approximately for 5 working days..
Then, i ask..all problems 5 days ka?ask la the technicians first, we want to know immediately if this kind of problem, which is requiring only 10-15 minutes of repair..how long would Sony need to repair it..
Then, the untie said, owhh..we have scheduled on repair..normally it would take 5 days to queue.. WTH, you are a big company, hire la more technicians ka..technical guy ka..don't simply give excuse..

Yes..now maybe there is not many big company who produce quality laptop..but with the fast development in IT world..you will face a competitive market in near future time. Sony thinks they have the quality, then they don't have to take care of their customer, come on man..we pay u!!and it is not cheap..i admit that Vaio is quite good in terms of its built, embedded keyboard, compact and good quality hardware..but when there is problems, please respect your customer..

Why don't you guys be like Dell..i think they have the best after sales service here..last time i help my friend on his Dell lappy. We made an online complain, then the technicians directly come to my friend's house on the next day to check on the hardware problem and repair it. If it requires you guys to hire sub-contractor to do your job like Dell, so do it..

Acer Service Centre also reply faster than Sony..my wife's previous laptop before this Vaio was Acer..normally Acer took only 2-3 days on software problems..and we are satisfied as they inform us first what is the problem and time required on the spot..not by LEAVING THE PRODUCT THEN WAIT FOR A PHONE CALL.

I think, its enough for now..hope people who read this would benefit and be a guidance on choosing laptop in considering the after sales services.. FYI, the h.drive is still function and i still did not send it for any repair or warranty claim..dah la Saturday x open..weekdays, most of people are working..so you after sales people should know la..you guys have to work and adjust on people's condition..simple!dah choose to work in that area..after sales..so, work la time other people off-work..

P/s: This was based solely on my experience only, maybe others experiencing better service from Sony.

Balik Penang cuti merdeka

2010-09-01T11:21:00.005+08:00

Tajuk macam tak synchronize lansung..abaikan. Fresh lagi ni kami..bau lagi nasi kandaq. Semalam elok2 ja sejam sebelum berbuka sampai sini. Bertolak petang jumaat..lepas eddy balik kerja. Eddy tak cuti nuzul quran. Kumpul cuti ganti cuti raya. Tapi takpa..isnin bos eddy bagi cuti. Empat hari cuti..sempat balik penang ja. Tak sempat balik kampung opah. Sempat shopping baju raya Muaz dan eddy.

"Tu dia...jauhnya shopping..awat yang tak shopping kat KL..kat KL kan lagi banyak pilihan"

Bukan apa..tak sempat. Tak mau la pi shopping weekend..ramai orang..tak best..tak larat. Kat penang boleh tinggal Muaz kat Oma atau maktok dia. Tak boleh bawa muaz shopping..tak jadi kerja. Pastu kat sini..macam kat Jalan TAR banyak sangat pilihan..sampai tak tau nak pilih. Tapi baju ummi beli kat KL la. Dah plan projek ngan my bestie, Lah a.k.a geng shopping time lunch hour.

Sempat juga pi bazar ramadhan seberang jaya dan bayan baru (kat sunshine square tu). Ok la..tapi kat bayan baru tak banyak sangat choice ayaq. Ayaq nyok pun satu tempat ja jual. Tu pun bukan jual nyok sebijik2. Makanan average kot. Dah hujung2 posa nih..cam dah takdak perasaan bila pi bazar ramadhan.

The famous ikan bakaq teluk tempoyak. Tapi dok argue ngan adik..tauke yang sama ka macam yang dok pi kat teluk tempoyak. Pasal ayaq asam dia lain sikit..pastu tak bagi pun cabai kicap. Tapi habis kami ratah sekelip mata. Beli siakap bakar..RM18 seekor. Boleh la call no tu kot nak book untuk open house nanti..area penang ja

Bukti lagi kami kat bazar ramadhan bayan baru.

Orang-orang bayan baru

Feri pulau pinang. Shopping naik feri. Sat kat pulau..sat pi seberang. Saja bawa muaz jalan2..

Cari ilham

Bazar Ramadhan Kampung Baru

2010-08-23T09:59:00.004+08:00

Ahad weekend lepas, kami pergi ke bazar ramadhan kampung baru. Alhamdulillah, tak sesat. Senang ja nak pi. Kami ikut terowong SMART.Keluaq terowong dah nampak sign board Kampung Baru. Ikut ja sign board. Kami sampai pukul 5.15..dah ramai orang. Makanan yang dijual sama seperti bazar ramadhan yang lain. Yang berbeza beberapa gerai jual nasi ayam penyet, nasi padang, seafood goreng dan gerai jual somtam (mangga, betik dll) yang buat atas permintaan. Maksud dia..bahan-bahan semua dah siap..bila pelanggan pesan..baru campuq semua bahan-bahan kerabu/somtam tersebut.

Kami hanya berjalan sepanjang Jalan Raja Alang. Bila nak balik..dalam kereta..pusing-pusing nak cari jalan keluaq..baru tau kat jalan-jalan lain pun ada juga gerai. Frust..terserempak dengan kedai nasi lemak antarabangsa yang original kat Jalan Raja Muda Musa. Dah beli nasi lemak kukus...kalau tak boleh tapau. Kat jalan tu pun banyak gerai-gerai. Ayaq nyok..berderet2..nak drive thru..alahai..kereta banyak kat belakang..pasrah ja la.

Tak aci..motor boleh lalu

Kedai nasi lemak antarabangsa. Signboard tak nampak..kena zoom

KLCC dari Kampung Baru. Muaz teruja sangat..asik uuuu...uuuu..uuuu.. ja
bila jalan-jalan nampak KLCC

Makanan yang kami beli...kurang berpuas hati. Mungkin sebab 'first timer' ke sana. Tak tau gerai mana yang best. Tepung pelita putrajaya sedap lagi. Nasi tomato pasar malam sri serdang sedap lagi. Apa lagi ya..murtabak, popia goreng dan basah...average la. Ayam percik..eddy tak komen apa2 pun. Nasi lemak kukus...tak recommend lansung. Jangan beli. Nasi tak 'moist' lansung..ayam goreng tawaq. Gerai tu ada banner besaq..tepi gerai jual popia goreng/basah. Oh ya..beli juga bubur lambuk kampung baru..sedap. Rasa manis-manis udang. Yang free kat masjid..ramai sangat orang beratuq..tak dan kami. Ayam golek yg diidamkan..owh..masa kami sampai tengah panggang golek-golek. Pusing balik..tengok dah ramai orang berkumpul keliling. Ala..malas nak tunggu..pasrah ja la.
Minta maaf tak ada pun gambaq makanan..tangan penuh pegang hasil belian. Eddy kena dukung Muaz..tak cukup kakitangan.
Kesimpulannya..bagi kami bazar ramadhan kampung baru biasa-biasa saja. Kami rasa bazar ramadhan dekat-dekat sini lebih memenuhi citarasa kami.

Berjaya!!!

2010-08-22T09:45:00.005+08:00

Semalam..hari Sabtu..berjaya juga bukak posa semua home made dishes. Masak nasi bukhari + kurma ayam (tapi rasa tak macam kurma..pakai resepi baru) + kobis goreng kunyit + ayaq tembikai.
Resepi tak dapat nak share..sebab macam tak marvellous ja kali ni..huhuhu..kecewa
Ayaq tembikai eddy buat..tu ja yang marvellous ;-)
Ambitious sangat..tgh posa nak buat lauk + nasi yang tak besa buat..camna nak rasa..
Tak posa..bolehla alter mana yang patut kan

Gambaq lauk snapped dari pinggan encik suami

Baki ayaq tembikai lepas berbuka

Eh mana Muaz???????
Enjoy splashing time!!!! teman abah dia basuh kereta la
Aman....ummi nak masak

Sampai gigil2..nak cukupkan time ummi habis masak..cian dia

Kenyang ja makan 3 dishes ja...bulan posa..x makan banyak sangat.
Cubaan kali kedua???? er..er..er..er...
Semalam pun macam dah berhenti berharap...ya la tengok kuah kurma tak macam besa pun..
dah down..
Insya Allah..lepas nih ingat nak buat lauk simple2 ja...janji masak sendiri..

Bazar Ramadhan

2010-08-19T12:09:00.004+08:00

Dah seminggu dah posa..nisbah masak:beli kat bazar ramadhan = 2:5
Itupun hari yang masak tu ada juga beli kuih kat bazar ramadhan...huhuhuh
Jadi nisbah tu dibundarkan ke nombor yang terhampir lebih kurang 1:6 kot..
Abaikan pengiraan ni..kesimpulannya hari-hari saya membeli belah di bazar ramadhan.
Tapi semalam tak beli pun..habiskan makanan2 yang ada dalam peti ais..banyak jugak..
Berbelitnya cerita..abaikan lagi..
Weekend lepas janji ngan husband nak buat set nasi tomato+ayam masak merah+daging kurma+kobis goreng kunyit = fail (x masak langsung)
Pergi memborong kat bazar ramadhan putrajaya..total belanja RM 37..cukup untuk berbuka+sahur dua hari
Baru seminggu puasa..dah 4 bazar ramadhan kami pi..semua dekat2 rumah ngan UPM ja

Bazar ramadhan sri serdang
-hari pertama pergi teruja sangat..banyak pilihan kuih
-eddy suka roti sardin kat sini...tapi semalam pergi x buka pun
gerai tu..kecewa
- member beli ayaq tebu kat sini..gerai first kita nampak ayaq tebu.
beli2.....masam..dah la rm3.50..so kurang markah di situ
-x suka satu gerai kuih ni yang ada anak2 dara jaga..gerai tu
banyak kuih kat tengah2 bazar..x mesra pelanggan lansung..
benci tau..
-average la kat sini..boleh beli. Tapi kena pi awal sebelum orang kerja keluaq. Selalu kul4 dah pi..
beli sesiap..

Bazar ramadhan puncak jalil depan MyMydin tu
-Tak recommend langsung sebab: mahal sangat.Kecik.
First day puasa kami pergi sini..beli ayam masak merah..part peha tu..potong lagi setengah=rm2.50..sangat tak puas hati..kecik ja. Ayaq nyok takdak isi pun rm3.00..kami x beli.
Member beli ayam kat gerai nasi briyani...seketul size biasa rm4.00..

Bazar ramadhan putrajaya
-Best..heaven..banyak makanan..harga pun berpatutan..tapi ramai orang dari tempat lain
-Beli ayaq nyok 2..satu rm3.00..isi banyak..sedap..puas hati
-Kena tahan nafsu kat sini..kalau tak jadi mcm kami..beli sampai boleh makan 2 hari
-Ada Yati ayam percik kat sini
-Laksa penang kat sini sedap
-Recommend: kebab daging ala arab..yang cucuk2 kat lidi tu. juicy dan rasa rempah2 dia..harga rm5.00. Kebab ayam pun ada

Bazar ramadhan belakang McD equine park
-baru sekali pi semalam
-ayaq nyok dia pun best..cuma x boh gula..original..rm3.00 jugak
-ada gerai akak kelantan comel yang best.ramah akak tu..mesra pelanggan..beli kerabu mangga.
gerai akak ni pun ada jual kuih
-banyak jual lauk2..kuih2..
-best jugak..kecik tapi lengkap

Hajat di hati nak pi Bazar Ramadhan Jalan Alang..kat Kg Baru tu. Hari tu tengok slot Baba's kat Buletin Utama..macam best ja. Eddy sangat teruja dengan ayam golek dia..Insya Allah..

Hari ni????? cadang nak buat spaghetti..senang..pakai sos traditional prego.
Makcik pengasuh Muaz hari-hari bagi kuih ngan lauk untuk berbuka..banyak..terima kasih makcik.tapi tu la..saya sorang ja makan semua kuih tu. eddy x gemar sangat lepat2 nih..aiseh..

Azam saya..nak buat hari berbuka puasa tanpa sekelumit pun makanan dari bazar ramadhan.
Boleh kah??? Muaz..sila bagi kerjasama yang jitu pada ummi ya..insya Allah

"Ok ummi..muaz jadi good boy..duduk baik2 ngn abah tgk sportcentre kat tv"
>>>ayat harapan ummi

"Ala..muaz kan sous chef ummi.X best la tgk TV. Nak 'tolong' ummi jugak"

Muaz in action at 18 months

2010-08-19T11:47:00.005+08:00

Muaz dah setahun 8 bulan..sat ja..dah besaq anak ummi sorang ni. Sekarang pun makin buas. Dah pandai bagi arahan..kalau nak biskut kat dapuq..tarik tgn ummi..tunjuk2..sambil bunyi

"ngeh..ngeh..ngeh"

Kadang-kadang..suruh dukung..pastu tunjuk jari nak pi mana..
Nak menyusu pun dah pandai nak pilih cara mana..kalau ummi duduk..tolak2 bahu ummi suruh ummi baring
Makin fussy..pening kepala ummi ngan abah..apa kami makan..semua nak..
Ummi marah juga abah...jangan ajaq Muaz minum ayaq manis ngan ais..kami bukak posa..dia pun sibuk ngalahkan orang posa..
Ohhh...satu lagi..start bulan 8 ni Muaz tukaq pengasuh baru. Pengasuh lama dah sarat mengandung. Muaz jadi ketua darjah la..lagi dua orang tu baby..dalam 6-8 bulan.
Muaz pun dah pandai buat stunt ngan kereta dia..

Mula-mula..kita duduk mcm ni

Pastu..tara!!!! Kita dah boleh berdiri atas kereta..peace ummi!!

Anak ummi sorang ni pun suka sangat tolong kat dapuq..
Muaz nak jadi chef ka?
Dengaq ja ummi tumbuk lesung batu..tup..tup..tu dia Muaz..
Dia pun nak jugak tumbuk bawang..Ummi bagi..tak mau gaduh2 ngan sous chef ummi ni..

Tak pedih ka mata tu sayang..first step utk jadi chef..kena familiar ngan lesung batu

Seronok tengok perkembangan Muaz..ada ja benda baru hari2..kadang2 tu Muaz kena marah jugak..Tak mau dengaq cakap. Selalu abah dia la marah..pastu sebek..terus abah dia pujuk..pandai psiko abah ngan ummi dia x mau bagi marah...macam dah kena baca buku psikologi kanak-kanak dah..pening..serba salah dibuatnya. Nak marah untuk mengajaq..tapi kesian..ala2..cayang Muaz

Unacceptable Lost

2010-07-04T00:13:00.007+08:00

My team..Argentina just lost to Germany 4-0..so sad. It was really a big lost. Unacceptable. Luckily I got a calm hug from dear hubby. His team..Brazil also didn't qualifiy for the next round. We also put a high hope on South Korea to be the first Asian team to win. Seems that all our favorite team stucked until the quarter final. This year my support goes to Argentina. I wanted to see Maradona won the World Cup title as a coach also. He is really a legend. It might be a memorable World Cup if he succeed this year. Plus..Messi is also one of my favorite players. It was disappointing that he scored no goal in the tournament this year. Oh..this means that we won't see Maradona run naked. Tu la nazar lagi mengarut2 Maradona nih.. Just joking..this is none of the reasons I supported Argentina.

Looks like only Muaz's team, Netherlands already secured a place in the semi final. Hahaha..Muaz doesn't know anything about football yet but he already got the exposure by joining us watching the match..sometimes. Well..more likely disturbing his dad. We labelled Netherlands as Muaz team. He was born there..so he has no choice..he has to be their loyal supporter unless Malaysia qualified to the World Cup. Jangan derhaka, Muaz ;-). Ok ummi joins you cheer for the Orange..Hup Holland Hup!!!

Well..Germany played very well tonight. Smart tactics and passing. They have very big chance to play in final..my prediction. I have the feelings that Germany will play against their neighborhood country Netherlands in the final..and it's really tough to predict which team will win. Good luck to the rest of the teams..hope there's more surprise to come before the World Cup 2010 ends.

Jalan-Jalan Melaka

2010-06-22T22:38:00.011+08:00

Kami bertiga jalan-jalan bercuti di Melaka masa hujung minggu yang ada cuti Wesak Day tu. Kami bertolak ke Melaka pagi sabtu. Satu malam ja kat sana. Sempat cover area bandar Melaka ja. Kami keluar dari lebuhraya nak masuk Ayer Keroh tepat pukul 12 p.m. Sampai-sampai saja kat Melaka terus pusing2 cari hotel. Banyak yang fully booked. Sejam juga la cari hotel. Alhamdulillah ada lagi bilik kosong kat Mahkota Hotel. Itu pun dah tinggal beberapa unit saja. Kebetulan ada promotional rate.. Rm258 semalam termasuk breakfast buffet untuk dua orang. Tapi ni pun peak price. Off-peak price rasanya RM208. Bajet kami nak cari hotel RM250 ke bawah. Tapi dah malas nak cari hotel..kami ambil keputusan duduk kat sini. Terus dapat check in. Rupa-rupanya hotel macam resort apartment. Kami dapat one room deluxe apartment. Lengkap dengan dapur dan ruang tamu. Berbaloi kalau nak duduk lama ni. Buat family day ka..best ni. Swimming pool dia pun besar. Seronok tengok budak2 main. Tapi Muaz tak boleh mandi..jari dia yang tengah tu dok berbalut lagi. Takut luka tak kering lagi. Memang kami recommend kalau nak duduk lama kat Melaka..boleh la duduk di Mahkota Hotel. Banyak kemudahan rekreasi disediakan.

Ruang Tamu. Tv ada tapi tiada dalam gambar..budak kecik ni tak termasuk dalam dekorasi :-)

Dapur..lengkap dengan kabinet, peti ais kecil, tempat masak elektrik dan cerek ayaq

Bilik tidur dengan balkoni (belakang langsir tu). Tinggal unit dengan twin beds ja untuk kami. Encik suami suka dengan bantal dia..selesa kata dia. Toilet attached dengan bedroom. Besaq toilet dia siap ada bath tub.

"Muaz suka la dok kat sini, ummi". Tak duduk diam dia nak selongkar semua barang. Suka sangat main telefon hotel

Lepas check in..rehat2 sat..terus kami pergi Banda Hilir. Niat di hati nak naik beca pusing pekan. Traffic jam nak masuk Banda Hilir ni. Tapi sat ja. Nasib baik dapat parking dekat ja kat tempat beca banyak2 ni. Sekali naik RM20..setengah jam..pusing2 tourist attraction kat kawasan sekitar. Setiap tempat singgah 5 minit ja untuk ambil gambar.

Sebelum jalan-jalan..kita ambil gambar dulu!! Pandai Pakcik tu hias beca dia..cantik

Kat bawah ni gambar-gambar tempat yang kami cover dengan naik beca.

The famous A Famosa

Muzium Samudera

Muzium lagi

Tangkap Muaz!! Dapat kaki..tak mau dukung dah..satu padang tu dia pusing. Sapa yang penat..ummi jugak..

Dah habis pusing-pusing naik beca..rehat sat minum ais kacang kat depan seberang jalan stesen beca. Ada gerai2 dekat sidewalk. Tak best..sikit dan mahal. Ayar nyioq dia takdak isi lansung. Tapi yang paling kami recommend kuih pau kakak kat situ. Lembut dan sedap. Satu kuih pau RM1.60. Bak kata encik suami "Dah lama abang tak dapat makan pau lembut macam ni."

Kalau ikut hati nak juga panjat bukit St. Paul tu. Tapi dengan panasnya..dukung Muaz lagi..lupakan saja nak bakar kalori naik bukit. Hati mau..badan tak larat dah. Destinasi seterusnya..Melaka River Cruise. Kami jalan kaki dari gerai tu dalam 500 meter tak silap..sampai la ke tempat menunggu feri. Tiket untuk dewasa RM10 seorang dan RM5 untuk kanak-kanak. Muaz free. Tak ada gambar kali ni. Eddy hanya ambil video ja sepanjang trip. Muaz pun dah meragam..abah dia tolong pegangkan. Sebenarnya saya nak naik waktu malam. Orang cakap lagi cantik dengan lampu2. Tapi eddy cakap alang-alang ada masa lagi ni..kita naik la siang. Malam mesti tak mau keluaq dah. Bagi saya cruise ni agak membosankan. Mungkin kerana kepenatan barangkali. Atau mungkin cruise waktu malam akan lebih menarik minat saya. First round..feri tu jalan ja..yang menarik bagi saya pun adalah lukisan mural yang kreatif dan lanskap serta keunikan rumah tradisional Kampung Morten. Masa nak patah balik dari pit stop hujung nak ke terminal..baru driver tu pasangkan suara latar belakang bagi penerangan tentang tempat2 yang boleh dilihat sepanjang cruise. Penerangan diberi dalam bahasa melayu dan inggeris.

Plan asal nak naik Eyes on Malaysia. Tapi pakcik beca bagitau dah lama tutup..alahai..

Dalam pukul 6 petang kami balik hotel nak rehat2..mandi2 dulu. Muaz pun dah meragam..mengantuk. 4 jam nak pusing Banda Hilir pun dah cukup. Lepas Maghrib..lapaq sangat. Teringin nak makan seafood kat umbai. Tapi macam tak berbaloi saya sorang ja makan semua tu. Eddy tak makan seafood. Takkan dia nak tengok ja. Dia pun dah penat nak drive jauh2. Tak tau ni nak makan apa kat area bandar Melaka. Cuba guna Garmin kat hp suami nak allocate tempat makan best. Tengah dok search under food, ada satu restaurant nama Asam Pedas. Terus bagitau Eddy "Jom yang try yang ni..mana tau sedap"

Kedai makan ni dekat Taman Kota Laksamana..depan dia ada construction. Nama kedai ni Asam Pedas Hajjah Mona. Sebelum sampai sini..kita akan lalu rumah kedai..ada satu lagi restoran Asam Pedas Pokok Besar. Kami ikut ja arahan Garmin..sampai la kat kedai tu. Parking senang..spacious. Dia kat corner lot. Ramainya orang..full house. Alhamdulillah rezeki..kami tak tau pun tempat ni famous. Saya order set asam pedas ikan pari. dan air limau kundur .Dalam set ni kita akan dapat sekali dengan nasi + telur masin + sayur goreng (kobis atau taugeh). Ada juga asam pedas daging..tapi eddy bukanlah penggemar asam pedas. Jadi dia order tomyam, daging merah dan sayur campur. Asam pedas memang sedap..pedas..puas hati la makan. Sampai habis kuah saya hirup. Tapi kalau datang sini jangan order yang lain...sebab tak sedap lansung. Memang speciality dia asam pedas. Selain tu ada juga nasi lemak bungkus comel2..diletak atas meja. Macam best ja tengok pelanggan2 lain lepas habis makan asam pedas..makan pulak nasi lemak comel nih. Ada yang bawa balik. Sebab nak merasa..saya pun bungkus satu. Tak silap RM1 satu. Nasi lemak pun sedap..rasa lemak2..aroma daun pisang..sambal dia pun lain..pedas2 manis.

Bila perut dah kenyang..masa untuk jalan2 semula. Kami terus pergi ke Jonker street. Cari2 parking..susah sangat. Ramai sangat orang. Sampai ke mana-mana ja kami cari parking. Lalu kat belakang Jonker Street tu tengok orang bersesak-sesak. Kami ambil keputusan balik hotel ja. Macam tak sesuai ja nak bawa Muaz ke tempat-tempat macam tu. Mesti tak selesa nak jalan-jalan berselisih bahu dengan orang. Bagi kami kalau nak enjoy tengok-tengok barang-barang antik..time tak ramai orang. Tidak la rasa kelam kabut sangat. Jadi..vroom..balik hotel tidoq.

Hari terakhir di Melaka..akan disambung dalam Jalan-Jalan Melaka Part 2 :-)

Muaz's finger update

2010-06-11T23:48:00.003+08:00

Alhamdulillah..jari Muaz dah completely recovered. Dah tak luka. Lega ummi masa nak buka dressing Muaz dua minggu lepas. Buka2 ja nurse cakap..dah elok dah. Nurse terus buatkan appointment dengan jabatan rehabilitasi a.k.a fisioterapi. Start dari Isnin lepas Muaz kena pakai sarung tangan (pressure garment). Ketat sangat2. Fungsi pressure garment ni untuk tekan isi2 yang timbul lepas operate..nak kurangkan kesan parut. Selain tu, jari manis Muaz macam dah statik bengkok sikit. Jadi bila pakai pressure garment ni, membantu longgarkan contraction tu. Sambil2 tu bila Muaz tidur, nurse dah pesan tekan2 kat bahagian sendi. Nak lembutkan..bagi fleksibel balik. Insya Allah..harap jari Muaz pulih seperti sedia kala.

Sepatutnya Muaz kena pakai pressure garment ni lepas kulit melecur tu kering. Jadi tak dak la kes kulit melekat. Sebab kulit Muaz start melekat masa recovery hari tu.Tapi yang lepas tu lepas la. Sekurang2nya banyak ummi belajar dari pengalaman ni. Macam2 medical term..prosedur yang ummi baru tahu. Dan tanggapan ummi terhadap hospital kerajaan salah sama sekali. Layanan yang diberikan oleh seluruh staf terutamanya akak2 dan adik2 nurse sangat2 memuaskan. Hanya Allah yang dapat membalas jasa anda semua.Tapi yang penting..untuk ibu2 dan bakal ibu2 yang baca blog ni, ingat!! kalau apa2 jadi kat anak2..accident..demam atau apa2 saja..terutamanya yang masih baby..terus bawa ke bahagian kecemasan hospital..insya Allah..kepakaran doktor2 di hospital boleh mencegah perkara yang lebih buruk lg. Sebab baby ni sangat fragile..tak sama macam kita orang dewasa. Kemalangan kecil pun bleh jadi besar kalau terjadi pada baby kita.

Life in different countries

2010-05-27T09:28:00.006+08:00

Saya sekarang tengah tengok Oprah kat Hallmark channel. Topik hari nih menarik sangat..sampai saya yang semangat nak siapkan revised version of research proposal pun..tup2..tercongok depan tv. Topik dia lebih kurang cam ni la..how people in different countries lives. First country Denmark..spesific town Copenhagen. Ok..people there pay the highest tax..average 50% from their earnings. Tapi dari perbualan Oprah dengan ladies kat sana..mereka tak kisah pun. Sebab they get back what they paid. Free medical care, free child care..nursery, free child education, kebajikan orang tua2 terjaga., one year maternity leave..oh..heaven ok. Rumah mereka pun kecik2 aja..less things..less space..more light. Bak kata suami Nanna..one of the ladies intervewed by Oprah. Balik kerja pukul4..pastu pergi market..travel pakai basikal..ohh..sangat convinient. Balik masak dinner..Pastu it's a must dinner one family together. Tak perlu pembantu rumah. Mereka sangat happy. Masa interview oun senyum ja..ceria ja. Keselamtan pun tak risau. Boleh masa interview tu..pasangan Denmark ni tinggal their one month old twins dalam baby pram kat luar rumah..rumah mereka apartment..so mereka tinggal kat bhgn parking basikal. Tengah tidur. Jadi mereka tak mau kacau baby tengah tidur..tinggal ja. Oprah tanya..tak pa ka..tak takut orang bambil baby ka. Nanna cakap..don't worry..no one wants to take our baby. Their safe. Even kalau jalan2 kat luar pun..mereka tinggal ja baby dalam stroller kat luar kedai. Oprah tanya lagi..tak takut ka child molester ka..Nanna jawab..nope..we never heard of it. We never heard anyone takes baby from their basket. Sungguh confident mereka dengan tahap keselamatan di sana. Tiada jurang perbezaan antara kelas sosial..semua sama rata. Sebab kalau gaji kita tinggi..cukai kita bayar pun tinggi. But they are still happy..semua orang hidup aman damai..kebajikan terjaga. No homeless..kalau hilang pekerjaan pun..sementara nak dapat kerja..kerajaan akan support. Rumah pun comel2 ja.

Situasi sama semasa kami tinggal di Belanda. Tax kat sana 40%. Tapi kebajikan semua orang terjaga. Ingat lagi..3 bulan lepas Muaz lahir..kami dapat surat dari Jabatan Sosial sana..suruh isi borang yang diberi. They gave us the form..tak payah susah2 nak panjat tangga pi pejabat kerajaan nak minta duit sosial. Kami decided tak isi..sebab cam tak patut pulak. Kami tak bayar tax..rasa macam tu bukan hak kami. Lagipun tak lama ja lagi nak balik Malaysia. Tak lama selepas tu..dapat lagi surat dari Jabatan Sosial sana..ingatkan kami isi borang tu. Wah..efisiennya public service kat sana. Untuk pengetahuan semua..setiap kanak2 yang lahir di sana akan diberi elaun 116 euro seorang. Banyak tu. Cukup untuk tampung perbelanjaan keseluruhan sorang anak. Itu menurut yang kami faham selepas translate surat tu guna Google translator dari Dutch to English. Lagi satu..memang cara hidup European kot. Masuk kedai ja..biaq anak2 main kat street..street tu vehicles are not allowed. No worries..seronok tengok budak-budak main..mak2 dengan suka hatinya shopping.

Nampak sangat setiap rekod baby yang lahir..hospital terus update kat jabatan sepatutnya. Pantas dan cekap. Tak yah nak tunggu dapat ISO 9001 bagai. Government serve us..tak perlu susah2 minta hak kita. Ya la..bayar tax tinggi..pulangan patut la berbaloi. Seperti Denmark..tiada perbezaan antara kelas sosial. Rumah pun kecik2 ja. Tapi pandai mereka susun atur perabot..tak nampak crowded. Life is so simple there. Tak yah susah2 nak fikir nak cari duit bayar yuran sekolah anak..pamper..susu anak..semua kerajaan tanggung. Ada satu bangunan apartment kat Wageningen ni khas untuk orang tua2. Ada garden yang sangat cantik. Kebajikan orang tua2 pun terjaga. Pastu ada van khas ambil orang tua2 dan OKU untuk pergi hospital everyday. Saya sangat kagum dengan kemudahan ni. Sepatutnya kat sini pun boleh buat mcm tu. Kasihan tengok tok2..tunggu bas nak pi hospital bagai. Dah la tak sihat kan..

Tapi kena ingat..mereka dah maju ke hadapan. Malaysia pun boleh buat macam tu. Dengan syarat kita kena ubah cara pemikiran kita. Jangan nanti mentang2 kerajaan bagi duit sosial..ramai yang pilih tak mau kerja. Kat sana walaupun ada duit sosial..tapi once kerajaan tau ada kerja kosong..mereka suruh kita pergi kerja kita kena pergi. Duit sosial terhenti setakat itu saja. Tapi anak2 still dapat elaun. Enough for living. Not for luxury.

Tapi buat masa sekarang..kerajaan Malaysia pun dah bagi elaun pada OKU, orang2 miskin..Cuma diharapkan cara pemberian tu lebih efisien. Takdak la lagi yang nangis2 minta bantuan masuk TV. Kepada orang2 yang sihat walafiat tu..banyak lagi kerja kat Malaysia nih..jangan nak mengharap kat kerajaan ja nak bagi semua. Ada orang yang lebih layak dapat bantuan tu dari anda. Kerajaan sendiri kenal pasti siapa yang patut dapat. Buat rekod..bagi sendiri borang. Orang yang tak berupaya pulak nak kena susah2 minta borang. Pembuat dasar kerajaan tak fikir ka semua tu. Kurangkan kerenah birokrasi untuk kesejahteraan semua orang.

Ada lagi cerita dari wanita2 di Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Japan dan Turkey. Insya Allah ada masa nanti saya update ok..Nak sambung buat research proposal nih. Senin depan kena hantar..aiyarkk..

Muaz visits to specialist clinic

2010-05-24T08:57:00.004+08:00

Selepas Dr check kat operation theater, Dr cakap everything's ok..rasa lega sikit. Next appointment on 19/5/2010. Dr Wu yang attended Muaz. Buka la dressing dia. First time ummi tengok kesan operate Muaz. Berdebar-debar..Rasa macam nak nangis ja. Kesian Muaz. Alhamdulillah jari tengah kulit melekat elok. Luka pun dah kering. TAPI!!!Kulit jat jari manis tak lekat lansung. Open wound. Rasa mcam kena tikam2 ja hati ummi bila nurse bukak dressing, kulit yang ditampal tu tertarik sekali dengan dressing tu. Kenapa tak lekat?? Memang jari manis tu luka dia besar lagi dari jari tengah. Dr pun ada cakap..either lekat or tak. We tried our best. Pastu ada pressure dari wayar yang dicucuk kat jari tu, isi kat atas jari tu tenggelam sikit kat tempat kena cucuk. Dr Wu decided besi2 tu kena bawa keluar. Dia tarik wayar tu guna 'playar' hospital. Bentuk macam spatula. Ummi dengar wayar tu tercabut keluar dari jari Muaz. Alhamdulillah nak bawa keluar wayar tu senang mcm tu..sekejap ja. Ummi ingat kena operate nak bawa keluar besi tu. Tapi ummi masih ralat..kenapa kulit kat jari yang satu lagi tak lekat..Tanya Dr sebab pressure tu ka kulit tak lekat. Dr cakap tak..it was not the factor.

Dr cakap for the time being Muaz kena mai hospital 2 hari sekali untuk ganti dressing dan cuci luka. Nak cegah infections. Jari Muaz yang tu pun dah bengkak sikit. Tak pasti term yang Dr sebut..something sounds like 'hypoglemia'. Dr cakap we'll see. If not kena regrown the skin again. No..No..No...Not another operation Dr, please. Jadi start dari 19/5/2010..2 hari sekali ummi dan Muaz menjadi pengunjung setia dressing room 2, klinik pakar Hospital Serdang. Setiap kali baringkan Muaz atas katil..Muaz mesti nangis. Ummi tak tahan sangat dengar Muaz nangis. Ummi tau sakit. Tapi Muaz strong boy kan..Insya Allah everything will be back to normal again. No more visit to the hospital ok sayang ummi sorang ni.

Dah dua kali kami pergi cuci luka..so far luka tu tak kering lagi. Harapnya hari ni ada improvement. Harapnya hari ni dah ada kulit tumbuh kat jari manis Muaz. Luka jahit kat perut pun Alhamdulillah dah kering. Nanti benang tu akan dissolve sendiri. Masa tunggu giliran Ummi sembang2 dengan sorang ibu ni. Anak dia pun melecur seluruh tapak tangan kena bubur nasi. Mula2 dia pun bawak anak pi klinik biasa ja. Tapi kulit anak dia jadi hitam malam lepas tu. Terus bawa pergi emergency room hospital. Kulit hitam tu kena cabut2. Lepas tu bubuh bandage untuk burn skin. Bila ummi tengok bandage tu..macam sarung tangan..ummi menyesal. Kalau dulu ummi terus pergi ER, mesti Muaz kena pakai sarung tangan mcm tu. Tak la jari Muaz terlekat kulit bila dah sihat. Tak la Muaz kena operate sampai mcm ni. Ummi geram..marah sangat2. Ummi rasa ummi patut jadi ummi yang degil demi anak ummi. Follow my own instinct not other's opinion..Mereka tak ada di tempat kejadian masa accident tu berlaku. So they assume it's nothing...minor accident. But now I learned..everything happens to my baby..is major accident.

What happens..already happened. Ummi tak mau blame others. Nanti lagi ummi sakit hati. Ummi sekarang nak tumpu pada Muaz ja. It started from my fault..carelessness. Ummi has to accept it. Face it. Insya Allah..Ummi berdoa hari ni luka Muaz bertambah baik. Ummi minta maaf sayang..

Hospital Part 2

2010-05-20T15:40:00.003+08:00

Here is the chronology of Muaz being hospitalized

6/5/2010 (Khamis) : Admitted to ward 5B Hospital Serdang. Have to be warded a day before operation because the cosmetic surgery specialist and the anesthetist would gave some briefing and final check on Muaz. Saya kena sign borang yang menyatakan saya faham dan telah diberi penerangan oleh Dr tentang prosedur bius dan pembedahan serta risiko-risikonya. Hari ni sampai tiga kali Muaz kena ambil darah. First by a young male doctor, around 11 am..failed. Muaz meronta2 nangis kuat sangat sampai Dr tu tak dapat nak cucuk jarum nak ambil darah. Petang pulak by another early 30's, male doctor. This time try to take his blood from the left hand. Success although Muaz nangis sampai satu wad boleh dengar. Unfortunately, malam nurse bagitau sampel darah Muaz kena reject. Aisey..this time another indian, male doctor pulak attended Muaz. Ambil darah kat kaki kiri pulak. Success without any rejection.

7/5/2010 (Jumaat) : Muaz was the first to operate at 8 a.m. Actually it should be a younger baby around 5 months old who has to undergo reconstructive sugery sebab sumbing. But the baby is not very well. Demam and selsema. A person has be fit enough for operation because it involves bius..so takut nanti complication. I accompanied him until he was bius. Sedih sangat2. Sempat cium dahi Muaz sebelum keluar dari bilik bius tu. Masa keluar dari operation theater nak ke waiting room..nangis depan nurse. Tanya nurse.."semua akan ok kan?". Nurse tu pujuk.."Insya Allah tak ada apa2 puan"
Suami pun ambil cuti hari ni. Tapi sorang ja boleh masuk sebelum Muaz kena operate. We waited impatiently for 4 hours..doa banyak2. Tepat pukul 12p.m., nurse inform Muaz dah ready kt holding area..tengah monitor his repsiration after kena bius. Alhamdulillah..
We thought it will only be a minor operation. Potong ja kulit kat tengah antara jari tengah dgn jari manis. Nope. Doctor kena ambil kulit dari bahagian perut untuk cover kulit jari yang terbuka. Kulit tu dah strecth jadi bila Dr buka..kulit tu tak boleh nak cover jari sepenuhnya. Jadi, jari tengah dengan jari manis kena tampal dengan kulit dari perut. Plus, dr masukkan wayar kat dua-dua jari ni nak prevent jari dari bengkok. Wayar tu dicucuk dari bahagian atas jari. Tangan Muaz berbalut sampai ke siku..Dr letak simen. Tau budak buas. Simen tu to protect the hand.
Cosmetic surgeon responsible for the operation is Dr Wu, very energetic and knowledgeable. Pakar bius Dr Rohani, seorang yang soft spoken and kind.

8/5/2010 (Sabtu) : Muaz and ummi stayed kat ward. Ward paediatrik Hospital Serdang selesa. Fully air-conditioned. Satu bilik 4 orang with spacious space each. Tapi yang tak tahan tu sekejap2 nurse datang check suhu, tekanan darah..bagi ubat. But they have to..it's their job.

9/5/2010 (Ahad) : Muaz pun nampak mcm boring duduk hospital. Ummi pun dah pening2 muntah2..tak tahan duduk dekat wad. Suspect food poisoning. Abah Muaz minta kat Dr nak discharge. Dr lain yang visit. Not the friendly type. Ada satu statement dari Dr ni, a lady yang too defensive bagi kami. We learned from our mistake Dr..we never neglected our son. Bertekak juga la abah dgn Dr nak discharge. Dr tak bagi. Kami kena sign borang AOR mengatakan Muaz discharge atas tangunggjawab kami. Ya la, Muaz duduk hospital mcm terkurung ja.Duduk atas katil. Nak main kat bawah, Ummi tak bagi. Lantai orang lalu-lalang. Dengan budak2 lain yang demam, selsema...kadang2 Muaz mlm2 nangis..ganggu orang lain..baby lain nangis..ganggu Muaz tidur..so we decided tak pa la kami jaga Muaz kat rumah. Muaz pun tak demam..active as usual like nothing happened. Kalau tak dischrge, seminggu kami kena berumahtangga kat hospital. That evening, Muaz dibawa balik ke rumah. Mak tok dia pun dah sampai..my MIL. Kesan dari antibiotik, Muaz muntah2 dan cirit birit. Rasanya lagi selesa kalau Muaz berehat dia rumah.

13/5/2010 (Khamis): Muaz buas sangat kat rumah. Kita yang risau. Dia tak sakit apa-apa pun. But today, Muaz had to be readmitted. Esok Dr nak check progress Muaz. Kena masuk pagi. Tapi masa register kat unit hasil, wad penuh. There were 4 people before us in the waiting list. Balik dulu. By afternoon, the hospital called me..bilik dah ready. This time, Muaz dapat bilik sorang. Isolation room. Ada la privacy sikit.

14/5/2010 (Jumaat) : Muaz the first to go into operation theater. 7.30 dah masuk. Muaz mcam dah tau. Dia nangis tak henti2..ummi penat dukung dia. Tak mau duduk lansung. Ummi teman Muaz sampai dia kena bius. After an hour, Dr informed dah settle. Nothing to be worried, the Dr assured. This time a malay specialist, Dr. Normala..a chinese look lady. Cuma ada sedikit mengelupas kat bahagian atas epidermis. Simen pun dah tanggal. Petang tu juga Muaz discharge because nothing serious. Boleh bg tempat kami kat org lain. Next appointment on Wednesday. Ummi ni macam tak tahan duduk hospital. Lepas discharge minggu lepas ummi ok dah sakit perut. Elok ja keluar wad..ummi sakit perut, muntah2 balik..meloya mcam mengandung Muaz dulu.

To be continued..Muaz visit to specialist clinic. Not a very happy one..Ya Allah..sembuhkanlah Muaz..Engkau Yang Maha Berkuasa atas sesuatu..Amin..

Hospital Part 1

2010-05-13T10:49:00.006+08:00

I've been pretty busy lately. Muaz was admitted to the hospital last Thursday. He had to undergo a surgery on his fingers. Left fingers. The accident happened last December. Being an active and curious little boy, he was so attracted to the vapor coming from the rice cooker. Not knowing how dangerous it is, he found it is interesting to see it coming out to the air. He immediately put his left palm on it..and..uuuwaaaaa!!!!!! loud screaming all over my house. I was in the toilet that time..immediately rushing out to him. Ya Allah..his left hand still on the rice cooker..luckily he already removed his hand from the steam part.Follow by the rules, I quickly ran the tap water overall his hand. After 10 minutes, I laid him down. His left palm already turned into burned red. I thought it was not that bad..just redness. Maybe he slightly put his palm on it. Still my instinct says I should go to the clinic. I just ignored my instinct after my husband assured me everything's gonna be ok. If I knew that it will be this bad until muaz had to undergo an operation, I wish I had followed my instinct that time. We only went to seek for treatment at nearby clinic on the next day after there was 'gelembung-gelembung' all over his palm. I really not satisfied by the skill shown by the doctor at the clinic nearby my house. We should went directly to the emergency romm at nearby hospital. It was all my fault. It started with me assuming that Muaz will not reach the rice cooker. We just moved in to the house. We haven't proper place to put the rice cooker, so everytime I cook the rice, I placed it on the floor with chairs surrounding it to prevent Muaz from getting near it. Muaz abilities is far beyond I can think. On that day he managed to crawl through the 'chairs wall' while I was away for a little while. Just a few seconds I left him..he already injured. Just a few seconds he is not in front of my eyes..accident happened to him. And..I should trust a mother's instinct..not others. That's the bonding between me and my son.

During healing process, Muaz didn't want to open his left palm. It was too hurt for him. So when the new skins grow they tend to 'stick' with each other especially in between middle fingers and forth finger. Also between those fingers and the palm. At the joint part. When he completely recovered, these fingers cannot be straightened. They tend to bend a little bit. It is because the skin stretches at the joint part. As consequences, the fingers were forced to bend. We were really worried because it can affect his motor skills. So we decided to seek the specialist advise in Hospital Serdang. This is the nearest hospital to our house. The first appointment was made in February and after the consultation Muaz had to be admitted in May. He has to undergo cosmetic surgery to 'tear' out the contacted skin.

Alhamdulillah the operation was a successful. I will update more on Muaz being warded for 4 days. He was discharged last Sunday and will be readmitted today. Tomorrow the specialist will see his progress and 'buka' the dressing. I hope everything will be fine and the wound already healed. I just want him to be perfect again. He was born perfect and he should be. I still cannot forgive myself for making him imperfect for the past 5 months. Even though it can be considered minor..still I found it unacceptable for me. If there will be even small scar on his left palm, I will carry the burden of being guilty and the feeling of a bad mom throughout my life. I cannot bear seing Muaz in pain because of this. He is still my little baby. The pain is too much for him. I wish I could lift the pain so that Muaz won't feel any of it. Please pray that Muaz fingers will be normal as the way they should be.

Shopping dengan suami? dan Muaz?

2010-05-03T09:45:00.003+08:00

Setelah 2 tahun lebih berkahwin..tak terasa dah banyak adjustment dah dibuat dalam hidup ini. Dulu bujang sekarang bertiga dah. Banyak dah berubah..terutamanya tentang tabiat hidup. Dulu shopping ikut ja citarasa sendiri. Sekarang kena fikir dulu..sesuai tak baju ni dengan status seorang isteri dan ibu. Lepas kahwin ada juga kadang2 shopping dengan kawan2, sendiri2 dengan adik..tapi end up baju atau barang tu pakai sekali ja. Pas tu rasa macam tak sesuai..tak best lah..menyesal lah beli. Tapi bila shopping dengan suami..kita tanya pendapat dia tentang barang nak dibeli tu..bincang2..Alhamdulillah seronok dengan pembelian tu..tentulah pakai banyak kali dan puas hati. Jadi..sekarang ni saya sendiri automatik lebih selesa dan seronok shopping dengan suami. Berkat kot..mungkin.

Memang dulu rasa 'terseksa'nya bila shopping ngan orang laki nih. Tau aja la perempuan kalau shopping..kita belek2..tak puas hati jalan lagi..singgah kedai lain pulak..kadang2..at the end of the day..tak beli apa pun. Penatnya jalan. Memang 'hangin' la suamiku itu.."La..jalan jauh2..pi banyak kedai..tak beli apa pun" dengan nada marah dan tak puas hati. Nak bagi dia cool sikit..ambil la apa yang patut walaupun sehelai t-shirt nak pakai kat rumah ja. Sekurang2nya ada la hasil shopping hari tu nak jaga hati dia. Kesian jugak kat suami..teman kita jalan penat2..dengan Muaz lagi..tapi takdak output lansung.

Sekarang..dah terbiasa dengan cara shopping suami..kami dah ada kedai tertentu kalau nak beli spesific barang. Macam eddy, kalau beli baju..satu brand ja favorite dia Adidas..tuju terus kedai tu. Seluar kerja..tak kisah apa2 brand asalkan ada diskaun kat Jusco. Saya pun dah terikut2..takdak masa nak belek2 dah..sruppp..nak kasut pi kedai tu ja..nak beli barang mainan Muaz pi kedai maianan tu ja. Rasa macam lebih efisien dan efektif cara nih. Kalau dah berkenan dengan satu jenama..jenama tu ja la. Alah membeli menang memakai. Penat tau pusing2 satu mall tu cari barang. Kalau tuju2 cam ni..jimat byk masa dengan tenaga. Kalau macam brg rumah..elektronik..perabot..kami buat survey kat internet dulu. Tengok review orang yg dah beli. Kadang2 mcm sesetengah barang atau pakaian..belek2 juga. Tapi kat mall yang sama. Mcm baju kurung/baju raya..sruppp..tuju kompleks pkns ja..amik suma ada kat situ. Beli kat situ ja..takyah nak pi survey kt Jalan TAR ka..shopping mall lain ka. Bawa Muaz ke Jalan TAR is a big no..no..no..meragam dia. Kalau nak pi sana kena tinggal Muaz kt pengasuh dia..tapi nanti kami mesti rindu..tak best la takdak Muaz.

Muaz pun sekarang bukan boleh dok lama dalam stroller dia. Dia dah bosan..meraung2 dia nak turun. Bila dah turun bukannya dok sengap..pusing satu mall tu. Ummi dia la penat nak ligan..laju tau dia lari. Bila dukung dia balik..tu dia..dia punya meraung satu department tu blh dengaq. Suma orang pakat tengok kami..ala2..Muaz ni..malu ummi ngan abah tau. Bagi la dia lari dengan gembiranya. Dengan nak tengok baju abah dia lagi. Bukan penat shopping dah sekarang..penat ligan Muaz.

Kalau nak shopping cara dulu2..bila teman mak2..kwn2 shopping. Teman ja..tak beli pun. Sebab tau kalau beli pun..masa tu ja berkenan..lepas pakai sekali..tak pakai dah..jadi tak berkenan pulak. Membazir ja rasa. Atau pun kalau ada yang berkenan..mark dulu..balik gtau suami pastu nanti pi sana balik. Tapi selalunya bila dah balik..dah tak rasa nak beli pun. Kena tanya suami jugak..sebab rasanya suami lebih faham taste saya dari saya sendiri. Owh..yang penting..bila shopping dengan suami..dia yang tolong bayarkan ;-)

Lega..

2010-04-12T12:50:00.004+08:00

Setelah 4 bulan..siap juga 1st draft research proposal. Ok..1st draft ja pun..tapi dah nampak la macamana projek PhD ni nanti. Banyak sungguh analysis..mampu ka nak run dalam satu hari..uuwaaa. Rasa2nya buat PhD kat negara sendiri lagi banyak cabaran. Macam2 gangguan luaran..takpa..stay focus!!
Projek ni..ringkasnya..nak cuba try tengok boleh tak hasilkan stabil peanut butter (long shelf life) tanpa guna apa2 stabilizer. Cuma guna high energy input daripada ultra high speed mixer. Proses nak dapatkan sample tu macam senang dan ringkas..tapi analisis dia yang berjela2. Ingat nak buat energy balance dengan predictive modelling...tapi wait and see la dulu. Tak cukup ilmu lagi..tak confident..kena baca journal lagi.
Rasa segan juga ngan SV sebab janji dalam 2 bulan siap research proposal. Tak pa yg lepas..lepas la. Sekarang semangat ngan fokus tu dah ada..teruskan ja la. Esok nak jumpa SV..harap dapat positif feedback. Pastu Jumaat ni ada progress presentation..nak bincang dulu ngan SV..patut kah saya bagi presentation...proposal pun tak complete lagi.
Minggu ni macam-macam ada. 2 papers final exam Khamis ngan Sabtu ni..kalau jadi present, Jumaat ni. Selalu macam ni..bila takdak apa..mmg takdak apa..bila ada apa-apa..semua la sumbat masa tu juga. Itu la kot kena ingat lima perkara sebelum lima perkara. Salah satu : lapang sebelum sempit..Ini la padahnya tak beringat.
Muaz pun..time umi dia sibuk la..nak memerap macam anak koala bear. Tapi memang macam tu pun selalu

Muaz masa umi tak sibuk...baik ja main ngan kawan2

Ni la SV saya kat rumah..

Muaz in action lagi..

2010-04-04T15:31:00.007+08:00

Selalu bila ambil gambar Muaz mesti nampak lebam kat dahi dia. Nak buat camna dahi ke depan..kalau jatuh sikit ja..tang tu la slalu kena dulu. Sat ja clear dahi dia..satgi tau2 ja dah ada lebam. Dok tgk2 pics Muaz..ada la beberapa yang takdak tanda tu..miracle..hehehe

Muaz..the spaghetti lover

2010-04-04T14:55:00.003+08:00

Muaz sekarang dah tak berapa gemar makan nasi. Kalau makan nasi pun mesti ada sup. Baru laju dia makan. Paling dia suka spaghetti, mi, bihun, macaroni dan segala jenis pasta. Mungkin dia suka kot sambil makan boleh main. Kalau ummi dia malas sangat..rebus ja macaroni pastu letak grated cheddar cheese..dah siap dinner Muaz. Muaz pun lagi suka sebab kalau takdak kuah maknanya yeyeyeyeye...muaz boleh makan sendiri. Muaz sekarang pun lebih suka suap sendiri. Tapi lepas makan tu..extra work la for ummi. Kena clean up hasil kerja muaz. Tapi tak pa la..Muaz tgh membesar..biar ja la dia explore everything. Nak marah pun tak jadi marah bila tengok dia makan dengan sukanya sambil main2 :-)
Muaz pun dah kurus sikit. Banyak nak main dah sekarang ni. Tengok la masa keluar lunch hari tu. Ada order risotto (macam nasi ala italy). Pandai Muaz pilih. Bagi risotto kat dia..geleng..tak pandang terus. Bagi spaghetti..tu dia..senyum..ada bunyi lagi "auuumm". Lepas dah makan tengok spaghetti berterabur atas lantai restoran. Tu la..tak sediakan baby chair. Kat kerusi pun tertempek kuah spaghetti tu. Kata abah dia.."tak sia-sia kena bayaq 10% service charge. Bagi depa buat kerja lebih."

Nyum..nyum..nyum

Sedap la ummi..

Makan nyorok2 ya...

Tips Memilih Kursus IPTA

2010-03-12T16:41:00.009+08:00

Keputusan SPM 2009 dah keluar semalam. Tahniah kepada yang berjaya mencapai target. Yang tak berjaya capai keputusan yang diharapkan.. Percayalah..SPM bukan segala-galanya. Masih ada ruang untuk berjaya lagi dalam hidup. Ok..dah dapat result, mesti tgh peningkan nak fikir sambung belajar ke mana. Banyak pilihan ni..matriks, diploma, oversea, asasi. Berdasarkan pengalaman sendiri, saya rasa macam nak berkongsi dengan adik-adik yang akan melangkah ke alam lepas sekolah ni. Tips ini untuk memilih kursus di IPTA.

1. Banyak kursus kat IPTA tu. Bukan setakat engineering, medic, farmasi, pendidikan. Pastikan kita tahu apa yg kita minat. Bukan pengaruh org lain. Setiap bidang tu..insya Allah ada rezeki masing2..

2. Tengok balik pada result..apa kekuatan kita. Subjek mana yang strong. Sebab nak compete ngan ramai lagi yang lebih baik dari kita. Cam saya dulu lepas matriks, isi borang UPU konon nak amik medic. Pilihan 1 sampai 5 kot saya letak medic. Padahal orang lain pointer lagi tinggi. Saya tahu peluang saya sangat rendah walaupun pilih medic kat UNIMAS sebagai pilihan pertama. Saya tak mau adik-adik ulangi kesilapan saya ini. Takut nanti kita pilih bidang yang popular dengan kelayakan kita yang gitu2 aja, jadi calon lelong. Nanti dapat result IPTA, lansung tak dapat bidang yang kita pilih.

3. Sembahyang Istikarah. Ini sangat penting. Kita pun tak tahu sejauh mana kemampuan kita dalam bidang yang kita pilih. Mungkin ada pilihan yang lebih baik untuk kita. Kadang-kadang apa yang kita suka bukanlah yang terbaik untuk kita, mungkin apa yang kita tak suka itulah yang terbaik. Allah maha mengetahui tentang hambaNya. Alhamdulillah, bidang yang saya dapat masa ijazah dulu adalah pilihan yang diambil dari apa yang diilhamkan olehNya. Alhamdulillah...saya sendiri tidak menyangka dapat pergi jauh dalam bidang ini. Pilihan yang keenam ni.

4. Bertanya pada saudara-mara atau sesiapa yang kita kenal yang mempunyai karier dalam bidang yang kita rasa nak pilih. Mungkin boleh dapat sedikit overview untuk membuat keputusan.

5. Kredibiliti IPTA? Hmm..pendapat peribadi saya..semua tempat sama ja. Yang penting diri kita..usaha kita.

Buatlah pilihan dengan bijak. Belajar kat universiti tak sama macam kat sekolah. Kadang-kadang student yang tak score masa SPM, boleh dapat CGPA tinggi masa universiti. Yang penting sentiasa berusaha membaiki diri. Selamat berjaya :-)

Bila Muaz makan bihun..

2010-02-24T23:22:00.006+08:00

"Abah...Muaz makan bihun ni"

"Sekali Muaz sumbat..."

"Dua kali Muaz sumbat..."

"Tak boleh..tak boleh..Abah pi..pi..ni Muaz punya..Muaz nak suap sendiri"

"Saya lah Muaz..pemakan bihun tegar"

Tunggu aksi Muaz makan spaghetti pula..jeng..jeng..jeng..

What should I write?

2010-02-02T12:42:00.004+08:00

I already decided to make this blog as my electronic log book of my PhD journey. This is really a big thing in my life. I just want to write, to express my feeling being a doctorate student. I was inspired by one blog that I bumped into one day..I forgot the link. The blogger is a doctorate student from Australia. She already finished her thesis..finally. And I think it's really awesome. Hope that I could commit myself to write in the blog consistently.
Muaz's diary..of course. I can show this blog which keep a lot of our memories to him one day when he is ready to appreciate his mommy's laptop. My weakness..there are a lot of Muaz photo that I captured..but I'm too lazy to transfer and upload them in this blog. Need to improve on this. By the way, Muaz has already turned to be my little Dennis the menace nowadays. Slowly showing his characters as he growing up.
One more thing is about my breastfeeding experience. I will write something about it from my own experience. It is one of my greatest passion. It is so lifetime worth experience that I really appreciate and fond with. Plus..I owe this to my husband. My pregnancy memories of Muaz. I have wrote the draft about it 9 months ago..still finding my time to continue writing it.
I might not have a lot of readers but I still really enjoy blogging. Just nowadays it's hard to find my time to update it. My intention of having this blog is to write anything that I want as my escapism and as my e-journal. But this blog has to have its own direction or else it will be idled for quite a long time. So,well I will write..write..and write..

Blood Donation

2010-01-27T10:37:00.003+08:00

I always want to donate my blood. Being type O+ , I know my contribution could benefit many people. People with other blood type can receive the blood from type O person. O type is like universal blood giver. Your blood is precious to other but you simply can't receive from other blood type. I started to become eager in donating blood during my varsity time. Unfortunately I never had the chance to do so. Once I went to a blood donation campaign held in UPM main hall just to know that my blood pressure is below the range permitted to donate blood. Well, I did asked anything that I can do because I really want to donate my blood. The nurse asked me to run up and down the stairs. Yes, I did. Still this didn't help to increase my blood pressure. Luck was never with me in this matter. After Uni's life, I never participate anymore in blood donation campaign. It's just because my weight now is below the required weight. I am lighter now than before. Not that I'm dieting but I think it is because of the breastfeeding. But still I want to make small contribution because I'm aware that our blood bank is in critical level. I play my part as a good citizen :-) by encouraging my husband to donate his blood. Maybe one day I can donate my blood.
I don't know why I'm so interested in this. I just want to play my part. I am so thankful to Allah because I am bless with good health. I think I should share what I have with others who don't have it. This entry doesn't mean anything. It just came across my mind. I'm taking this opportunity to appeal for those out there who is eligible to donate their blood, please..please..please..make your contribution. It might be small but it could save many lives.

Rindunya kat Muaz

2010-01-19T10:36:00.004+08:00

Sedih...rindu..syahdu..terbayang2 Muaz senyum. Suka sangat tengok dia senyum2 nakal bila dia buat2 konon2 tgh makan something. Bila ummi nak check mulut tu..lari dia sambil gelak terkekek.. seronok sangat. Bila dapat tangkap dia..takdak apa pun dalam mulut. Buat2 mcm kunyah ja. Muaz dah pandai sakat ummi ngan abah. Sekarang bila ummi ngan abah pergi kerja..Muaz tinggal dengan pengasuh. Kesian bila pagi2 ummi nak tinggalkan Muaz dengan pengasuh. Muaz macam sedih ja nak pisah dengan ummi. Ummi pun sedih juga. Ummi nangis dalam kereta. Rindu Muaz sangat2. Ummi selalu terbayang2 Muaz senyum. Muaz suka sangat senyum. Bila nampak ja Ummi datang nak ambil Muaz balik..Muaz senyum happy sangat2. Muaz senyum cantik..mcm bunga tulip yang berkembang masa musim bunga di Keukenhoff. 9-6..lamanya kta berpisah Muaz..

Ummi rindu Muaz..
Muaz rindu ummi tak?
Mesti la ummi...

UPM di sini..Wageningen dirindui

2010-01-08T09:36:00.004+08:00

Sudah lama tak jengah blog. Streamyx apply untuk rumah 3 minggu baru dapat. Kawasan baru.. jadi kena tunggu masuk kabel dulu. Begitulah yang dimaklumkan oleh staff telekom hari tu. Alhamdulillah sekarang ada di UPM. Dengan rasminya saya sudah menjadi pelajar PhD di UPM. Sirih pulang ke ganggang la kononnya. Supervisor saya tak lain tak bukan...Dr Chin yang comel itu. Sudah ada pangkat baru Ir. Dr. Chin Nyuk Ling.
Sebenarnya..tengah sedih ni. Rindu sangat2 kat Wageningen. Kalau tengok tv ada salji2 tu..lagi rindu. Suami pun cakap "best kan..kalau tak masa ni kita tengah main salji..Muaz pun boleh guling2 sama"
Tapi dalam hidup memang kena ada pengorbanan. Suami dah berkorban 2 tahun ikut saya ke Wageningen. Sedangkan masa itu sangat penting untuk dia bina karier dia. Dan sekarang tiba masa saya untuk berkorban untuk dia. Memang semangat nak sambung belajar di luar negara masih ada..tapi family comes first. Suami bagi saya dan Muaz pergi ke luar negara..tinggal dia sorang2 kat Malaysia. Tapi ku tak sanggup. Tak mau la suami isteri duduk berjauhan. Dahlah suamiku tu dulu jejaka pujaan Malaya.. Bahaya sangat untuk diriku.
Ala..belajar kat Malaysia pun ok jugak. Kalau tak takkan ramai foreigner mai sini kan. Bersyukurlah sekurang2nya Allah dah beri peluang kepada kami merasa pengalaman duduk luar negara. Pengalaman yang sangat2 berharga. Kepada kawan2 yang masih bujang lagi tu...ambillah peluang ni jalan2 ke luar negara..travelling is the best experience that you will never forget. Nak ke sana yg mahal pun tiket flight ja...sampai sana boleh ja bajet. Kadang2 lg murah dari kita travel dalam negara.
Apa yang paling dirindui tentang Netherlands..spesifik lagi Wageningen...adalah ketenangannya. Masih lagi terasa ketenangan itu. Lagi satu rindu nak naik basikal pi shopping groceries. Senang nak mencilok..parking pun senang. Takpa..insya Alllah nanti nak bawa Muaz naik basikal kat Bukit Cherakah..siap la Muaz. Jangan buat2 tak tau naik basikal. Dulu masa Muaz dalam perut..ummi usung naik basikal ja tau.
Tapi kurasa diri ni mengada2 tau. Masa kt sana tambah2 masa mengandung Malaysia lah segalanya. Dah balik sini gatal nak rindu2 kat sana. Tapi dah rindu nak buat camna. Kalau tak takkan la tiap2 pagi kucium magnet Amsterdam kat peti ais. Kepada Ayu yang masih berada di bumi Holland tu..enjoy la puas saat2 akhir di sana. Balik Malaysia nanti rindu tau.

Si Botak

2009-11-05T09:07:00.004+08:00

Muaz botak!!! Kepala dia dibotakkan masa hari raya hari tu. Sekarang dah tumbuh rambut sikit dah. Gambar dia fresh botak ada dalam laptop abah dia. Muaz dah boleh berdiri..menapak pegang2 perabot kat rumah. Gigi pun dah tumbuh lagi 2 kat atas. Dah pandai memerintah. Melekap kat ummi dia macam baby koala bear. Ok tak boleh tulis panjang2..Muaz dah bangun dia nak take over tulis blog pulak :-)

Cak!!! Saya la Muaz Botak

Meh Muaz update blog ummi abah yang dah bersawang ni

Sembang2 kosong

2009-09-06T07:38:00.003+08:00

Sibuk sungguh balik Malaysia. Tak sempat update blog. Kelajuan internet kat sini sangat2 la berbeza berbanding kat sana. Hehehe..alasan la tu. Alasan lagi..kami sibuk berjalan-jalan..shopping2 Malaysia. Kat Penang ni saja dah ada Jusco Bandar Perda dan Sunway Carnival Mall kat Perai yang baru dibuka. Wah..advance sungguh Penang..2 tahun kami tinggalkan, 2 shopping mall baru dibuka. Shopping Mall yang lama2 tu pun tak sempat nak round lagi. Cari baju raya Muaz..tak jumpa lagi baju melayu Johor untuk bayi yang dibuat dari kain cotton. Baju2 Muaz yang dibawa balik dari sana..semua tak boleh pakai. Berpeluh2 si kecik tu sampai lencun2 badan dia.Jadi seluruh wardrobe dia kena tukar. Jeles ummi dia nih.
Sesuatu yang sangat bahaya..kami masih lagi terbawa2 cara kami shopping di Netherlands. Harga dalam RM kami tukar ke Euro. Konon2 nak bagi nampak murah la."Ala murah ja ni 20 Euro ja". Padahal harga tu RM100. Nak sedapkan hati punya pasal. Sesuatu harus dilakukan. Kalau tak boleh muflis ni.
Bila jalan2 kat shopping Mall..kami jadi 'perak' sat. Hahaha..mana taknya..sana sini ada tanda halal. Uish restoran ni halal..tu pun halal..nasib baik bulan puasa. Kalau tak habis la duit lagi. Saya sendiri pun tak pegang senduk lagi sejak sampai ke Malaysia. Balik rumah mertua..mertua dah setel masak masa keluar pi jalan2..balik rumah mak pun sama. Insya Allah cadang tu nak start masak la..tapi saya malu la. Kalau dok kat dapur memasak mau 2 jam jugak. Tengok mak2 masak sat ja dah siap.
Muka muaz dah ternoda kesucian dia. Sampai ja Malaysia kena cium ngan nyamuk2 sekalian. Tak tau kat mana kena cium. Sebab dalam masa 10 hari di sini..kami asik berpindah randah. Sat2 dok umah mak..sat2 dok umah mertua..sat2 balik kampung (kampungku ada dua). Tau2 ja dah merah2 pipi Muaz. Kesian dia. Itula harga yang Muaz perlu bayar sebab glamer sangat. Dia la jadi tumpuan. Ummi abah dia tak nampak lansung. Syok la dia..semua orang dok layan dia. Awal2 sampai Muaz nak kat orang pompuan ja. Nampak ja orang laki terus nangis. Tapi sekarang semua orang dia boleh main..terkekeh2 dia gelak. Lega ummi abah dia Muaz takdak masalah nak sesuaikan diri ngan cuaca kat Malaysia..cuma badan dia ja tumbuh ruam sebab berpeluh. "Ala ummi ni..walaupun Muaz lahir kat Netherlands..Muaz tetap anak Malaysia"

Home Sweet Home

2009-08-28T08:54:00.002+08:00

Alhamdulillah kami dah selamat sampai ke Malaysia. Terima kasih kepada semua yang mendoakan keselamatan perjalanan kami. Semuanya ok..perjalanan pun best dan lancar. Muaz siap dapat layanan first class lagi. Si kecik tu dapat baby cot atas flight. Jadi dia tak la meragam sangat..selesa ja tidur. Alhamdulillah..semuanya dipermudahkan. Semalam terlampau penat nak mulakan 'food hunting'. Rehat dulu puas2. Tak sabar dah ni nak pi makan nasi kandaq ni.

Kepada semua rakan-rakan yang akan balik tak lama lagi..selamat pulang ke Malaysia..

Jam-jam terkahir di Wageningen

2009-08-25T23:17:00.003+08:00

Semua persiapan untuk pulang ke Malaysia telah selesai. Kunci rumah dah bagi balik kat Woningstichting. Beg2 semua dah diangkut ke bilik Lah di Bornsesteeg. Kami menumpang tidur semalam di bilik Lah, kat student flat. Malam terakhir berpuasa di Wageningen kami dijemput oleh Mustafa (Morrocan) dengan isterinya Diana (Dutch) untuk berbuka puasa di rumah mereka. Alhamdulillah.
Tak sabar nak balik..tetapi sayu juga nak tinggalkan Wageningen ni..Banyak kenangan sungguh.
Doakan perjalanan kami selamat dan dilindungi Allah..Insya Allah

Ahlan wa sahlan ya Ramadhan

2009-08-22T06:46:00.006+08:00

Kami sekeluarga mengucapkan selamat berpuasa dan beribadat di sepanjang bulan Ramadhan kepada semua ahli keluarga dan sahabat-sahabat walau di mana anda berpuasa. Semoga Ramadhan kali ini memberi peluang kepada kita untuk membanyakkan amal ibadat kita..insya Allah.

Maduku sudah kembali

2009-08-11T04:46:00.003+08:00

Ya..selama ini kuhidup bermadu. Ahad lepas dia dah kembali :-/. Kalau kat Netherlands ni ok la..boleh sabar lagi. Dia kacau waktu siang ja. Tapi nanti bila kat Malaysia dia mesti mai tiap2 malam hujung minggu..benci...aarrgghh. Dah la baju buruk..macam baju ultraman pulak season ni. Itulah maduku Manchester United.

Lapang...

2009-08-10T21:51:00.003+08:00

Alhamdulillah..barang-barang yang nak dibawa balik ke Malaysia dah pun selamat diambil dan dibawa ke Schiphol. Lapang dah rumah dan dada ni. Kalau tak rasa berserabut sangat-sangat tengok kotak-kotak penuh dalam rumah. Banyak juga barang-barang kami. Itu pun ada sesetengah yang terpaksa kami tinggalkan kat sini. Kami gunakan servis syarikat World Baggage Service. Harap semuanya berjalan lancar dan selamat.
Sekarang yang tinggal dalam rumah barang-barang yand perlu saja. Mesin basuh pun dah dijual. Basuh pakai tangan ja sekarang :-). Minggu ni juga furniture yang tak mau pakai akan dibuang. Kena call dulu Afval Combinatie (syarikat pelupusan sampah) untuk ambil sofa dan almari. Barang-barang ni semua dapat free jadi tak la ralat sangat nak buang. Koelkast (peti ais) pun dah nak let go minggu ni. Dah ada buyer nak beli. Lepas ni mesti lagi lapang rumah.
Hari ni juga saya kena hantar almost like finalthesis-draft. Belum siap lagi. Dah siap nanti mesti lagi lapang dada dan hati ni.

Update: Muaz..7 1/2 months old

2009-08-01T18:32:00.005+08:00

Muaz buat muka innocent

Yeah!outdoor lagi..

Cak!Abah..

Muaz dah boleh duduk..nampak tak gigi muaz?

Cheezz!!

Apa tgk2..Muaz nk relax la..

Muaz pencinta alam..

2009-07-19T17:40:00.005+08:00

It was a bright, sunny and beautiful day. Ummi went home early just to take Muaz and abah to Arboretrum Wageningen. Muaz was so in love with nature. We let him 'guling-guling' on the grass and played with nature. If we didn't put our eyes on him, maybe he had gone 'guling-guling' all over the field. It was so fun to see him played outdoor and enjoying himself. Community message from Muaz "Cintailah bumi kita. Jangan buang sampah merata-rata. Nanti Muaz tak boleh guling-guling lagi".

Seronoknya saya!!!!

caaayang bumi!!!

ummi ni, awat tak bagi muaz guling jauh2..marah ni :-/

tengok langit pulak

All down..one to go!!!

2009-07-18T01:00:00.005+08:00

Alhamdulillah..dah dapat markah subjek Qualities of Food Around the World. Alhamdulillah lulus with flying colors lagi :-). Sekarang tinggal nak siapkan report minor thesis. Minor thesis nih adalah substitute internship yang wajib ambil. Tapi diganti dengan minor thesis memandangkan tempat nak buat internship jauh-jauh belaka. Sebab dah ada Muaz, tak mau la kerja jauh2. Nanti kena keluar awal2 pagi..balik lewat2 malam.Kasihan Muaz..
Tapi itula..dah seminggu buat kerja kat rumah. Progress??Lambat macam siput. Bila buka laptop, aktiviti wajib check email, baca paper dan check blog. Tapi itula, mudah benar terpesong. Mula la blog hopping, tengok online shopping site, baca posting kat forum. Kebetulan, forum amnet dah boleh masuk, tak sudah2 dok catch-up postings sebelum ni. Sesuatu harus dilakukan!! Aku harus berubah :-) Ya, aku selalu berdoa agar Allah permudahkan segala-segalanya untuk kami pulang dan selesaikan pengajianku. Sudah banyak jalan Allah permudahkan. Takkan nak harapkan keajaiban berlaku..tup..tupp..esok bangun pagi, nah..report dah siap. Doa mestilah disertakan dengan usaha. Ya Allah, aku bermohon kepadaMu. Jauhkanlah aku dari kelalaian dan kesesatan...amin. Aku harus segera insaf dan siapkan report thesisku. Demi masa sesungguhnya manusia itu di dalam kerugian. Sedarlah cepat anim..masa akan pergi begitu saja..jangan buang masa lagi..cukup dah seminggu rehat :-)I am not a procrastinator!!!!

Tiramisu Coklat

2009-07-13T20:40:00.004+08:00

Alhamdulillah..kali kedua buat menjadi tiramisuku. Tapi kuolah resepinya atas permintaan suami sempena harijadinya. Selalunya Tiramisu sinonim/associate dengan Coffee. Di atas permintaannya untuk cuba membuat Tiramisu berperisa coklat, ku cuba memaksimakan kreativitiku. Resepi ini adalah hasil gabungan dari resepi di penutup mascarpone cheese yang dibeli, alia dari myresip i dan idea sendiri . Kuantiti bahan-bahan boleh diolah mengikut citarasa masing-masing (eg: gula, coklat). Resipi kegemaran saya mestilah mudah, ringkas dan sedap. Tak susah buat tiramisu ni. 30 minit ja preparation nak buat tiramisu ni. Gambar tiramisu yang complete tak sempat nak ambil. Tinggal this final piece yang sempat diselamatkan untuk jadi model.

Tiramisu dan lilin

Tiramisu
Bahan-Bahan:
Satu peket sponge finger (sponge kek pun boleh)

Unfortunately, today's news from my supervisor changed everything. My examiner won't be available until 24th August. So my presentation and evaluation is scheduled on 24th August..and of course we have to postponed our date of departure.My heart is broken into million pieces..so does my dear husband. All we want now..is to go home..back to our beloved Malaysia.

Straighten Out

2009-07-03T19:16:00.002+08:00

It's 30 degree C today, the hottest this week huh..

Summertime is all we need to succeed
and I'm waiting for the day we wanted to see
straighten out the clothes, get things for packing
Lay down Muaz, everything will turn around
It's almost time for your feet to start crawling on the ground
Don't start crying at the first sign of thunder
Don't start crying when I turn around

tup2..hujan pun turun..
Don't have time to post at the moment, its all my wife's posting here for a while..
Adios Amigos..

Selamat Pengantin Baru

2009-06-28T02:06:00.004+08:00

Dalam tempoh dekat 2 tahun di perantauan ni, rupa2nya dah ramai kawan-kawan yang dah melangkah ke alam rumahtangga. Ada yang memang kami tahu ada yang la..tau2 dah kawen. Kepada kawan-kawan yang tak dapat kami pergi majlis walimatul urus, kami sekeluarga mohon maaf banyak2. Apa kan daya jarak beribu2 batu memisahkan kita. Rasa ralat dan bersalah sebab masa kenduri kahwin kami, Anim dan Eddy, hampir semua kawan Kejuruteraan Proses dan Makanan (batch 2002-2006), kwn2 baik masa sekolah, matriks, USM datang. Sekarang bila turn member2 kahwin, kami tak dapat pergi. Sebenarnya teringin sangat makan nasi kenduri kwn2 semua. Jadi, kami dedikasikan entri kali ni untuk mengucapkan Selamat Pengantin Baru..kami doakan semoga perkahwinan kawan-kawan semua dirahmati Allah dan insya Allah kekal sehingga ke akhir hayat.

p/s: kurasa mcm ada yang tak masuk list lagi ni..nanti update lain bila dah teringat

Jangan cari lain..

2009-06-28T01:52:00.002+08:00

Hari ni di Harian Metro, ada lagi kisah lelaki ditipu isteri muda. Minggu lepas pun terbaca kisah yang sama. Bila dah ada duit banyak, mula la pasang satu lagi. Isteri pertama yang selama ini sanggup bersusah2 ditinggalkan begitu saja. Bila dah senang, kesenangan itu dinikmati dengan orang lain..orang yang baru. Bila harta dah habis dikikis..baru nak tersedar. Masa dah susah balik..baru igt isteri pertama dan anak-anak yang selama ini dibiarkan begitu sahaja. Nasib baik isteri yang dibuang ni seorang yang baik..sanggup nak terima balik suami yang dulu hanya tahu bersusah2 bersama2, bila dah senang cari yang baru untuk kongsi kesenangan (dikikis kesenangan). Peluang kedua ini jangan la disia-siakan. Kepada lelaki-lelaki sekalian, hargailah isteri anda yang sentiasa bersama tak kira masa susah masa senang. Bila dah senang..memang ramai yang kerumun macam semut hurung gula. Bila dah susah, hanya orang yang pernah mengalami kesusahan bersama2 kita yang masih setia.

Baru hari selasa..tp kusudah rasa penat. Second batch ikan (stored at 5 degree C) udah selesai. Tapi tak settle sepenuhnya lagi. Bacaan electrodes (2 electrodes 1000 data each) tak key in lagi dalam Excel. Solution utk next storage temperature kena stock up. Kena buat calibration line utk electrodes tu..yg tak pernah2 jadi lg. Ya..assignment subject Qualities of food around the world..esok dateline. Masih ada 2 aspek yang tak ditulis lagi. Mujur la send assignment ikut email. Jadi Pukul 11.59 pm masih blh hantar lagi. Kalau fikir kerja..sampai bila2 pun tak habis. Tapi kuharus set the limit for work. Cukup la 8 hours kerja2 ni mengambil perhatian ku. Ada very important persons yang lebih berharga dari kerja yang perlukan perhatian ku..Muaz dan abahnya.Tak sabarnya nak balik..cpt la kul6..nak main ngan Muaz. To ayang..get ready for food poker champion..4 in a row..:-)

Going Home

2009-06-18T22:33:00.006+08:00

I found i'm so excited i can barely sit still or hold a thought in my mind..i think its the excitement only a long away house-dad can feel..a man whose going to start his long journey within 2 months whose conclusion is uncertain..i hope i could make it across the airport..i hope to see my families and friends..please make dua' for me and my family that everything will go fine..insyaAllah..

14-06-2009: Short term mission accomplished

2009-06-16T01:42:00.007+08:00

Alhamdulillah..muaz turned 6 months on 14-06-2009. The date is really meaningful to me. I have been the milk bar for muaz in the past 6 months. He exclusively being breastfed/consume expressing breastmilk (EBM)..no other food or drink during this period. For the first mission I have achieved the target set by the WHO. It's not that easy..struggling with hectic lab work, assignment, household chores and to expressing breast milk in between. I'm really satisfied and proud with myself because almost 80% Muaz direct breastfed. I don't stock up the EBM..I pump just to have enough stock for Muaz on the next day. From 2-5 months Muaz only drank 2 bottles of 4 oz each (9am-5pm). His demand increases so much from 5 months until now..2 bottles of 6 oz. Alhamdulillah..my milk supply meets his big appetite. I'm also happy with his development till now.
Now..long term mission ummi's milk until muaz 2 years old..as encouraged by Allah S.W.T in Al-Quran
Hehehehe...tgk la gambar baby susu ibu sorang ni

What is Zikr?

2009-06-07T15:41:00.001+08:00

Zikir Mendekatkan Insan Dengan Tuhan.

Daripada Abu Hurairah katanya: "Nabi SAW bersabda: Dua kalimah yang amat dikasihi Allah Yang Maha Pemurah, ringan disebut lidah dan berat timbangannya (pahalanya) iaitu Maha Suci Allah dan dengan kemuliaan-Nya, Maha Suci Allah Yang Maha Besar" (Hadis riwayat al-Bukhari). Zikir dalam erti kata sebenarnya adalah suatu cara untuk menyebut, mengingat dan mendekatkan diri kepada Allah. Segala kegiatan yang tujuannya menyebut, mengingat dan mendekatkan diri kepada Allah dinamakan zikir, seperti solat . Firman Allah yang bermaksud: "Sesungguhnya Aku ini adalah Allah, tidak ada Tuhan selain Aku, maka sembahlah Aku dan dirikanlah solat untuk mengingati Aku (Surah Tahaa, ayat 14).

From Abu Hurairah r.a, our Prophet Rasulullah SAW said in a hadith: There are two words that Allah All Mighty really like to hear..it is very easy to say and the reward is outrageous, Subhanallah and praise Him with Subhanallah Allahuakbar.(Sahih Bukhari). Zikr in other words can be translated as saying, remembering and to be closer to Allah. Everything that we do in remembering, praise and try to get closer to Allah can be considered as Zikr like perform Solah. Allah said in Koran "Verily, I am Allah. There is no god but I: So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise."(Surah Tahaa, verse 14)

Namun begitu, pengertian zikir yang lebih khusus adalah menyebut nama Allah dengan lisan dan hati. Berzikir dengan lisan dan hati adalah perintah Allah yang mempunyai manfaat sangat besar di dunia mahupun akhirat kelak. Firman Allah yang bermaksud: "Hai orang yang beriman, berzikirlah (dengan menyebut nama) Allah dengan zikir yang sebanyak-banyaknya" (Surah Al Ahzab, ayat 41). Berzikir adalah suatu cara untuk mendekatkan diri hamba kepada Tuhannya. Apabila seorang hamba sudah dekat dengan Tuhannya maka segala hajat yang diminta dan diinginkan pasti termakbul sebagaimana sabda Rasulullah SAW bermaksud: "Dan Aku bersamanya bila ia berzikir" ( Hadis riwayat Muslim ).

Furthermore, Zikr can be translate specifically in saying/ praising Allah's name by verbally and through heart. Zikr by these means(verbally and spiritually) is an order by Allah that leads to very huge benefit during our life in the world as well as during the hereafter/ judgment day. Zikr also brings about nearness to Allah in this world. Allah said in the Koran: "O ye who believe! Celebrate the praises of Allah, and do this often". (Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 41). Zikr is one of the way for a slave to be/ feel near and close to the God. When the slave is closer to the God, all his desire/ prayer will be granted, InsyaAllah..as our Prophet said in a hadith: "I am sitting with the one who is remembering Me."(Sahih Muslim)

Jazakalahu Khair..

Wasiat Luqman Al-Hakim Kepada Anaknya

2009-06-07T10:30:00.000+08:00

1. WAHAI ANAKKU! SESUNGGUHNYA KEHIDUPAN KITA INI DIIBARATKAN SEPERTI SEBUAH KAPAL YANG BELAYAR DILAUTAN DALAM DAN TELAH BANYAK MANUSIA YANG KARAM DIDALAMNYA. JIKA KITA INGIN SELAMAT BELAYARLAH DENGAN KAPAL YANG BERNAMA TAQWA, ISI KANDUNGANNYA IALAH IMAN, SEDANG LAYARNYA PULA IALAH TAWAKAL KEPADA ALLAH.

2. WAHAI ANAKKU! BERHATI-HATILAH TERHADAP TUTUR KATA DAN BICARAMU, PELIHARALAH BUDI BAHASAMU DAN SENTIASALAH BERMANIS MUKA, NESCAYA KAMU AKAN DISENANGI DAN DISUKAI OLEH ORANG YANG BERADA DISEKELILINGMU. PERUMPAMAANNYA SEOLAH MEREKA TELAH MENDAPAT BARANG YANG AMAT BERHARGA DARIMU.

3. WAHAI ANAKKU! BERGAUL DAN BERKAWANLAH DENGAN ORANG-ORANG YANG SOLEH DAN BERILMU. BUKALAH PINTU HATIMU DAN DENGARLAH SEGALA NASIHAT DAN TUNJUK AJAR DARINYA. SESUNGGUHNYA NASIHAT DARI MEREKA BAGAIKAN MUTIARA HIKMAH YANG BERCAHAYA YANG DAPAT MENYUBURKAN HATIMU SEPERTI TANAH KERING LALU DISIRAMI AIR HUJAN.

4. WAHAI ANAKKU! SEKIRANYA KEDUA IBUBAPAMU MEMARAHIMU KERANA SESUATU KESALAHAN YANG TELAH KAMU LAKUKAN MAKA KEMARAHAN KEDUA MEREKA ADALAH SEPERTI BAJA UNTUK MENYUBURKAN TANAMAN.

Last Ascension Day (Donderdag 21/05/09), Muaz,abah and ummi went to Ouwehand Dierenpark, Rhenen. We have a gratis ticket from Etos (Ummi bought more than euro15 and got this buy one free one ticket coupon). Instead of paying euro18.50 per person, we only paid this amount for two persons. Of course for Muaz is free. it was Muaz first time ride on a bus. It just took us 10 minutes from Wageningen to there. Muaz saw many weird creatures...hehehe the animals. The main attraction is the polar bears. There was this one polar bear really loves to swim..he kept swimming..diving in front of us. Well..a pic worth more than a thousand words. So enjoy the pics of Muaz in Ouwehand Dierenpark!!!!

Islam is the way

2009-05-22T21:48:00.006+08:00

Today, our khatib here at masjid Wageningen stress a little bit about the hazardous of pig beside other issue such as riba leads to today's economy recession. He ends the khutbah with a good hadith saying that one day Isa a.s will come down to earth and break all the crosses(salib), and kill all the pigs.

What i am trying to say is, before this maybe we get a bit confius when hearing this hadith, why did Isa a.s want to kill all the pigs? and the answer is clearly out there now..we can see since past years before, how our country face up with the strange JE disease and now the swine flu which even dangerous than the bird flu where it can infect human through air.

This is why Islam is so strict on hygiene and cleanliness. That's why Islam prohibit us from eating and even touching pigs. We even have rules for entering toilet.

I remember 1 more thing as i am writing this post. I've read some where before that the American is the first country who found vaccines for all kinds of flu lately. Their military/ defense department even get extra fund when a flu disease occurred/ reported throughout the world. What did minister of defense got to do with this?

After doing some goggling..i found that
From the previous Anthrax cases and Bird Flu cases:

-Biodefense Medical Research and Development has received an amount of USD1.6 million/ year since 2003.
-The new National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasure Center program has been performed/ created.
-600,000 American soldiers have been given immunization as prevention of Flu while American citizen received nothing.

and a speaker from the White House said that:

“Bioterrorism is a real threat to our country. It’s a threat to every nation that loves freedom.. Terrorist groups seek biological weapons; we know some rogue states already have them…. It’s important that we confront these real threats to our country and prepare for future emergencies.”

From what i search..found that..they not only doing research on finding vaccine but use this matters(since 9/11)as reason to reopen the Biological Weapons Programme (BWP) which has been suspended/ closed by Richard Nixon. Are they trying to develop a BioChemical Weapon by manipulating/ mutating the H1N1 Virus?..Nauzubillah..

Wallahhua'lam..

Smart-Phone war

2009-05-21T05:00:00.001+08:00

PALM has announced its long-awaited new operating system, called Web OS, as well as its new Palm Pre smart phone. The Pre will be available exclusively on the Sprint 3G Network in the first half of 2009.

The handset marks Palm’s effort to regain leadership in the smart-phone market. Aiming for the coveted niche between iPhones and Blackberrys, the Pre with Web OS attempts to meld enterprise and entertainment functions in one device. Palm has not released pricing for the Pre from what i read for most reviews, they only stated the forecast/ possible price . The phone has a multitouch screen, a vertical slide-out QWERTY keyboard(this is probably the nicest thing as the iphone digital keyboard really sucks when typing a message-test on my friend's iphone(Jamal), i dont own one), and an accelerometer.

EvDO-capable and Wi-Fi enabled, it has GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo support, and 8GB of storage. The Pre has a 3.1-inch display with 320 by 480 resolution.

The multitouch support extends beyond the display to the center button, which Palm calls the gesture area for launching applications. A 3.0-megapixel camera with an LED flash is included as well. The Pre is smaller than the iPhone and other rivals, and weighs 135 grams. The open-source Palm Web OS home screen has customizable widgets at the bottom.

Touch a widget, and the corresponding app pops up. All of your open apps appear as a deck of cards; you scroll through your “deck” by flicking from side to side on the gesture pad(its like the Macbook OSX dock). One key element of Web OS is what Palm calls “synergy,” the syncing of information from various sources. For example, if you begin typing an e-mail message addressed to a specific contact, Web OS searches your e-mail accounts; if the Pre can’t find the contact, it searches your corporate exchange database and automatically enters the name into your contacts list.

Palm also announced the Touchstone, a wireless charger that uses inductive technology. Put the Pre on the magnetic Touchstone, and it stays in place to charge.

Yea..this is a cool gadget... at least the pics and configuration says this...The web browser, the feature and it looks cool..the iphone and blackberrys never interest me before as they are lacking in many areas, especially the iphone which probably already working on their cut/paste project with no limitation of its concepts, i never use a PDA phone before, but i read, understand and testing a lot as many of my friends use them, and they admit it too, just want to brag this Apple brand/ logo iPhone..as for blackberrys, you know..only celebs use them..very ugly interface

The land of Tulips and Windmills

2009-05-20T22:25:00.005+08:00

Mills or molens(in dutch) have been used for grinding corns and protecting against flooding. For centuries, these were the two most important tasks of the Dutch mills besides other tasks like producing wheat and cutting woods. Mostly are powered by wind or water(of course), which Dutch landscape abounds in water.

The mills are seen as a beloved piece of inheritance and it is impossible to think of the characteristic Dutch landscape without them. Wherever you go..i mean in any province/ town..you'll find a windmill.

To the east of Rotterdam lie the famous Kinderdijk mills, nineteen in all. They are a sight for sore eyes, also in the evening or if a thick mist hangs over the landscape. This unique collection of windmills is always sure to draw much attention throughout all season.

As the largest flower exporter in the world, most of the flowers are grown in greenhouses. One of the areas where flowers and fruit are grown on a large scale is the Westland also called the 'glass city' owing to the enormous greenhouse complexes.

For four centuries, the tulips have grown and bloomed in Netherlands. You can enjoy the splendid play of colors. Keukenhof is the most beautiful spring garden of Europe. During the two months(spring time), it is said that there are six million tulips are in full bloom. The range of colors are exceptional and the view is so fascinating.

Choosing the best laptop

2009-05-20T00:55:00.002+08:00

This time we focus more on gamers out there..this short guide hopefully will help you guys whether you are mid-range gamers or a hard-core one.

Laptop would not be a great machine to run today's demanding games but it is sufficient enough for you to play games like Call of duty, Crysis and Fallout in medium setting mode.

Recently, a Taiwan's company, MSI who is popular for the making of computer's motherboard has launched their budget, affordable gaming laptop, the MSI GX620..

With a price of appx. RM4500, you'll get a laptop spec of: CPU- Core2Duo 2.23GHz, 1066MHz FSB, GPU- Nvidia 9600GT 512mb, 4Gb ddr3 ram, 320gb HDD, 15.4" lcd display, and 7.1 pin-in sound system..This laptop even has a turbo button which overclock the processor speed when needed by 15% which will give you a processor speed of 2.55GHz.(only with charger plug-in)

Toshiba Qosmio x305 might satisfy you with a more conventional 17" LCD for better gaming viewing. The spec is quite extraordinary and the design is not that bad either which make the Qosmio x305 one of my dream laptop. You can choose from proc. speed of C2D 2.55Ghz, 1066FSB, 4Gb ddr3 ram, and 512mb Nvidia 9700GTS g.card at price of RM6000 or a higher spec of Core2Quad processor and 9800GTS 1GB(512X2) g.card at a staggering price of RM8000.

Known for its dominance in laptop gaming industry..Dell XPS 1730 would be every gamers platform of dream. With a spec that not so differ from Toshiba, this Dell would cost you up to RM10000 for its highest spec of only using C2D processor. This laptop also offers 17" LCD display and equip with a 8-cell battery. The highest spec even support 6gb of ram(dual channel ddr2). What make it so expensive is that they used the SLI Nvidia type, not 1 but two, which gives a total of 1Gb Nvidia 9800 GT SLI. The laptop will easily give you a 3D Mark 05 point of above 15000pts. So you don't need to use any GPU tweak software anymore.

You can also choose from the likes of Gateway, new M17 from Alienware, Asus G-series and less demanding graphics laptops which are good actually like several models from Asus, Acer Aspire and Sony Vaio. The question is though: Why use laptop when you need gaming satisfaction? it would cost you twice or even triple for a better PC performance..

From my opinion, just buy a middle range laptop where you can save some money for a high performance PC. With PC, you can just upgrade the system/ hardware whenever you want and even use liquid nitrogen as your cooling system(liquid-based cooling). Although there's many laptops manufacturer which come out with nice sound system such as Asus and HP with their Altec Lansing collaboration and others with Dolby Home Theater..but not many of them have put a 5.1/7.1 sound card in it. Why don't they put it? it make sense though that laptops are use for mobility, so why add more cost in production when people moves around with their laptops..

Editing videos and images, programming and design, downloading and playing games is sufficient if you choose:

- C2D processor(1.8GHz,2.0GHz)

- 2Gb/ 3Gb of ram(Windows Vista)

- 128mb/ 256mb graphic cards(Nvidia 8400gs, 8400gt,ATI HD 2400)

*you can use tweak software like Rivatuner to increase the core, memory and shader speed of your Graphic card for better 3D performance. Use the benchmark 3D Mark 05 software to grade your 3D points. You can download the basic program free from net.
A point of 3500pts would be enough for those task mention and play games at lower setting(medium-800x600 with 40fps).

*suggested g.card range Nvidia 9300gs/8400gt - Nvidia 8600gt/9600gs or
ATI HD 3450 - ATI HD 4570/3670

Oberhausen, Germany

2009-05-08T05:30:00.006+08:00

It was a long weekend holiday with KoningDag on Thursday and a day off on Friday. We went to Oberhaussen, Germany which is just about 140km from Wageningen. Upon arrival we just stroll around Centro with lots of shopping..hehe.Centro is a definitely a great destination for all shopaholics.

Sealife CentroPark

CentroMall(largest shopping mall in Europe)

Alhamdulillah..there's a moskee very close to the Alpin Ski Center, its a brown building just before ARAL gas station from the Ski Center direction. Sorry, we could not snap picture of it cause it was raining at that moment.

On the last day, we went to Dusseldorf, another city nearby, but unfortunately there's Dusseldorf Marathon on that day and all route to the city center were closed. We were very disappointed because our aim is to go to the Halal Tandoori Restaurant there..so we just wondering around outskirt of Dusseldorf city until we decided to head back to Wageningen.

Before we forgot, we stayed in Im Volksgarten Hotel. It is a cheap family operated hotel. It is a quite nice hotel situated near a wild park with only €60/night. The best thing about the hotel is we got a box of Ferrero white Chocolate from the owner before we left.

This is based on National Geographic show..
Let see how much will Muaz consume his diapers through his life..
Do you know:

- A baby used an average of 3,796 diapers in his life. Little more on 4 diapers a day, in a 2.5 years. Its quite convenient for a parents but it make greater impact on the world..
To make a single baby diaper for the 2.5 years it requires:
1898 pints of crude oil to make the plastic water-proof lining, 4.5 trees for the soft fluffy padding and 322 kg amount of plastic. Wow..one baby?imagine all babies inside Malaysia.

There's many more..the US version is not that interesting as UK version..the UK version covers wider coverage and worldwide data. I'll post more if there's time. You can watch the US version from Youtube, i've watched the UK version on National Geographic before, way more interesting..calculate your consumed goods here..

Halogen Oven

2009-04-10T00:38:00.002+08:00

Just bought this oven for my wife to encourage her doing more cooking:-)..This Halogen Oven uses technology that cooks using infrared waves from a halogen light source. It cooks 40% faster than a conventional oven, pre-heats more quickly and roasts, bakes, defrosts, steams and grills. It can also be use for fries and reheat. Its the same superior culinary oven system utilize by 5 star restaurant.

Unlike a microwave, food cooked in this oven is heated evenly and thoroughly without hot and cold spots and without sogginess. It's energy efficient, easy to use and has self cleaning function. More importantly, the food less fat:-) as the food doesn't soaked its own greasy oil and no oil used.

Seems the product, JML Halogen Oven, comes from UK, but distribute by e-shop(telsell) in Netherlands. There's thing that letting this product down which is the number recipes provided and it make quite a loud noise comparing to the microwave which is not so practical . Normally, when you buy a cooker of any sort, they will provide you with a book of recipe. But with JML Halogen Oven, its just 3-4 recipes which doesn't interest much..so if you need one, i've found a link here:
http://www.morningware.com/oven.html
just scroll down the page and click on recipe link..or you can buy newly launched recipe book here:

GTS 240 cancelled

2009-04-02T04:30:00.002+08:00

Earlier last month Nvidia had cancelled their launching of GTS 240. The GPU(graphic processing unit) was set to be the successor of Geforce 9800GT. This "rebranding" technique seems to be annoyed by users out there including me. The 9800GT was also rebranded from 8800GT with same 65nm-based G92 GPU. Its like doing overclocking huh..haha..

Since the launch of ATI 4870-X2(GDDR5), Nvidia seems to work day and night to match the card..hehe. With successfully launched the GTS 250(rebadged from 9800GTX), now they are scheduled to launch a GDDR5 GPU this year. This two big guns in graphic industry have set a new level in GPU world. Both have their own fan/ customer, but under pressure Nvidia from its own board partners need a rapid change which leads to the cancelling of the GTS 240. So, now they ask customer to chose from their 3 version of 9800GT(GTX, GTS SLI, GT SLI). My advice is, don't get confuse with the name changing. The GTS 250 is just slightly differ from the 9800GTX which makes it able to run 1gb memory. But of course Nvidia offers much cheaper cards..

You can get the GTS 250(1Gb) at RM790 and the HD 4870(512Mb) at RM840, but both works at memory bus width of 256 Bit. I reckon to get the PowerColor HD 4850 after returning to Malaysia..changing back to ATi(my first card was ATI though but have many problems with its driver). Have to ask my wife first..hehe.LoL

P/s:Powercolor is a company who make ATI graphic cards and they make Nvidia cards too.

Cable Broadband

2009-03-31T23:55:00.010+08:00

Just finishing downloading Bride War movie for my wife. Here, internet is super fast. Unlike in Malaysia, downloading can take years especially complete decent tv series like Prison Break and CSI. I pay €40/month for 6Mbps d/load, 1Mbps u/load cable tv internet + digital tv basic package. Pretty cheap huh..

I checked from TM Streamyx web, currently the fastest speed you can have is 4Mbps and guess how much you have to pay..its RM268/month..very expensive(for me). Last time, before i came here, i used 512kbps and the fastest speed at that time was just 1Mbps if i'm not mistaken. Yea..512kbps is ok as we use DSL broadband in Malaysia. There's also other choice now to pick from Maxis, Celcom, Wimax, and Umobile(the cheapest around probably).

Here, we can experience cable broadband internet..They even have Satellite Internet and Fiber Power. Satellite Internet used dish to collect signal from satellite and don't know much about Fiber Power, just see in catalog and can offer till 120Mbps(Whoow!)...but broadband use fiber optic though!(bit confusing about this Fiber Power, maybe it is same with cable broadband). I think the fastest cheap home broadband you can get in Holland is 25Mbps by UPC and 20Mbps by Telfort.

Of course we are talking about fixed-line broadband here. The cable company provide me with splitter to get both internet and tv signal sync at the same time. Don't know much about mobile internet back home(except for my friends who use MAXIS Broadband:+/-RM150, but here the 3G networks have no boundaries. You can surf all the way on train throughout Holland.

One more thing, Digital Video Broadcasting(DVB) using cable looks sharper here while people in Malaysia especially who owns HD tv suffers with ASTRO as we are still in experiment phase and schedule to be fully DVB-T in 2015. Took this opportunity to download everything from the net before returning back to Malaysia. My 750GB HDD is nearly full:-)

Sony HDR SR-10

2009-03-20T05:45:00.001+08:00

This review is for people who want to search for a HD(high-definition) Camcoder. Sony offers you variety of camcoder or known as Handycam. For a HD handycam, you can chose from having a HDD(hard disk drive), mini DV(digital video cassette), or memory card(memory stick PROduo). Code for those Handycam state as below:

- HDD: HDR SR/ XR
- Mini DV: HDR HC
- Memory Stick: HDR CX

With HD Handycam, you'll get lower optical zoom, as for HDR SR-10, you get 15x zoom..but when it comes to video resolution, you can get a high 1920 x 1080 HD format, means that you get a very clear, no distortion zoom image.
It has detailed 2.5 Megapixel(MP) clear video CMOS sensor and allows you to capture 4 MP still pictures.
The handycam offers you a hybrid storage where you can chose to record your videos and images in HDD or memory stick.

The main thing i want to share is that, the CMOS sensor chip application has been refined. It has been said that CCD(charged coupled device) sensor, which has been used widely in compact digital camera and standard definition camcoder, is more sensitive to light and capture better image in loud places while CMOS sensor has problem with noise which cause tiny defects in pictures. However with Sony, they have overcame these problems by adding the advantage of CMOS(perform in details such as capturing sparkle of water/ jewelry and glimpse of sunlight when sunset) to give better application in Handycam.

The Exmor Imaging Sensor and Bionz Image Processor deals with the noise problem plus their extra functional technology such:

- BIONZ Image Processor: uses hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry that improves camera response time, handles Dynamic Range Optimization processing, and prolongs battery life.

- Exmor Imaging Sensor: captures video and still photo images with high resolution, high sensitivity, and exceptional detail.

The BIONZ also responsible for the face detection not only for still images but for videos too!!. It can detect up to 8 faces everywhere in a frame and automatically controls focus, exposure, and color to help capture smiling faces brightly and clearly. Face detection also helps make skin tones look natural without affecting other colors in the image.

Some functional button and pro duo slot

2.7" Touch Screen LCD

One more thing to consider is that the video file format is in AVCHD(.MTS file). You can play the videos through computer(windows), using the software provided by Sony(using Picture Motion Browser). The thing is that if you want to send it to your friends or family, they cannot view it through Windows Media Player(wmp 11) or VLC easily. Even if you burn it into DVD, it will only play on certain DVD player with Blu-ray format like PS3. I've found a good option where you can convert the MTS/MT2s to MPEG-2 or Windows Media Video(wmv) file using the PMB. It's better to convert them into MPEG-2 which gives you better video quality.

Of course converting them to MPEG-2 then will change the video to standard definition(SD), so if there's any occasion where people might want the videos, then you can record it in SD mode. You can record in high def(HD) in 4 quality options. I haven't try the SD mode because i can't find the tab/ option, but it is said in the manual that it can record in 3 option of SD. Although it used a CMOS sensor which prolong the battery performance compare to CCD, but with high quality HD recording, you can only achieve up to appx. 110 minutes continuous recording.

Handycam has been a trademark for Sony..people know their quality as they are well established. It's like having a suit from Armani, an Apple laptop/PC or a car made by Toyota. So, whether you want to have a standard def or a high def handycam, Sony would be a good choice.

Muhammad s.a.w

2009-03-12T21:07:00.003+08:00

Bersempena dengan ulangtahun kelahiran nabi kesayangan kita, Rasulullah s.a.w, marilah kita mengambil sedikit masa untuk memperingati diri dengan kisah-kisah baginda yang sememangnya sudah diketahui semua.
Rasulullah berpesan, "Sampaikan pesanku walau satu ayat."

Pada suatu masa, ketika baginda menjadi imam solat jemaah. Dilihat oleh para makmum/ sahabat pergerakan rasulullah antara satu rukun ke rukun yang lain amat sukar sekali. Dan mereka juga ada mendengar bunyi menggerutup seolah-olah sendi-sendi baginda bergeser antara satu dengan lain.

Saidina Umar yang tidak tahan melihat keadaan itu bertanyakan kepada baginda berkenaan hal tersebut sejurus setelah selesai solat.

"Ya Rasulullah, kami melihat seolah-olah tuan menanggung penderitaan yang amat berat, tuan sakitkah ya Rasulullah?"
"Tidak, ya umar. Alhamdulillah, aku sihat dan segar"
"Mengapa setiap kali tuan menggerakkan tubuh, kami mendengar seperti sendi-sendi tuan bergeseran di tubuh tuan?"
"Kami yakin engkau sedang sakit.."
desak Umar penuh cemas.

Akhirnya Rasulullah mengangkat jubahnya.
Para sahabat amat terkejut. Perut baginda yang kempis kelihatan dililiti dengan sehelai kain yang dalamnya diisi dengan batu kelikir, buat menahan rasa lapar.
Batu-batu kecil itulah yang memberi bunyi-bunyi halus setiap kali baginda menggerakkan tubuh baginda.

"Ya Rasulullah, adakah apabila tuan menyatakan lapar dan tidak punya makanan, kami tidak akan mendapatkannnya buat tuan?"

Lalu baginda menjawab dengan lembut.
"Tidak para sahabatku. Aku tahu, apapun akan engkau korbankan demi Rasulmu. Tetapi, apakah akan ku jawab di hadapan Allah nanti, apabila aku sebagai pemimpin, menjadi beban kepada umatku.
"Biarlah kelaparan ini sebagai hadiah dari Allah buatku, agar umatku kelak tidak ada kelaparan di dunia ini, lebih-lebih lagi tiada kelaparan di akhirat kelak."

Baginda pernah tanpa rasa malu/jijik makan disebelah seorang tua yang penuh kudis, miskin dan kotor.

Baginda hanya berdiam dan sabar apabila seorang Arab Badwi merentap kasar kain rida'(kain penutup bahagian atas badan)nya sehingga berbekas merah di lehernya.

Dan dengan penuh kehambaan baginda membasuh di tempat yang dikencing si Badwi di dalam masjid sebelum menegur dengan lembut perbuatan itu.

Ketika pintu syurga terbuka seluas-luasnya untuk baginda, baginda masih lagi berdiri di waktu-waktu sepi di malam hari, terus menerus beribadah sehinggakan baginda pernah terjatuh lantaran kaki baginda yang sudah bengkak-bengkak. Fizikalnya sudah tidak mampu menahan kemahuan jiwanya yang begitu tinggi.

Bila ditanya oleh saidatina ‘Aisyah,
“Ya Rasullullah bukankah engkau telah dijamin syurga ? Mengapa engkau masih bersusah payah begini?”

Jawab baginda dengan lunak “Ya ‘Aisyah, bukankah aku ini hanya seorang hamba? Sesungguhnya aku ingin menjadi hambaNya yang bersyukur.”

Dengan nama yang begitu mulia, jutaan bibir setiap hari mengucapkannya sejahtera, jutaan jantung setiap saat berdenyut, berulang kali. Dengan nama yang begitu mulia, berjuta bibir akan terus mengucapkannya sejahtera, berjuta jantung akan terus berdenyut, sampai akhir zaman bersedia menantinya.

Setiap hari kita paling kurang atau setidak-tidaknya berselawat keatasnya dalam lima waktu sembahyang, dan bagi yang bersolat rawatib, awwabin dan sebagainya, maka mereka akan berselawat lebih. Hidupkanlah sunnahnya dan contohilah akhlaknya.

Akhlaknya begitu tinggi, anugerah kemuliaan dari Allah langsung tidak dijadikan sebab untuknya merasai lebih dari yang lain, ketika berhadapan dengan orang ramai mahupun ketika berseorangan.

This Creative Aurvana Dj is the baby of all Aurvana Headphone Series(Aurvana Live, Aurvana X-Fi). The sound is clear, nice and smooth. Yeah its Creative, you know the sound quality! The design is quite nice though.
Although the noise is not throughly canceled, but the noise isolation is quite good. The leatherette ear cushions maximize comfortable fit and gives noise reduction dramatically fades unwanted distraction. Plus the ear cushion is replaceable. After comparing with the Sennheiser HD 555, this Aurvana Dj level is slightly lower than the HD 555 but at the same level as the Sennheiser HD 212 Pro. If you are considering Sennheiser HD 201/202, safe some more money and get the Creative Aurvana, you'll satisfy with it. If you can't afford the expensive Bose headphones or the noise canceling Sennheiser PCX Series, then the Aurvana Dj might cheer you up a little as retailers are now giving out discount on this headphone because its been in the market since end of 2007(i got it for 60% discount on last winter sale).

Thanks for reminding me, sister

2009-03-11T04:54:00.005+08:00

Just to share a valuable lesson I got from our Muslim sister,a PhD student from Jordan. She is completing her 'sandwich' program here. We had this small conversation while waiting for Asar time at prayer room in Biotechnion. We was chatting about doing PhD here. She complained about her supervisor which caused her to delay her graduation which should be in March. It is now postpone to June. She also told us that during her time in here, she really had a tough time with her supervisor which she described as inhuman to her.
But then at the end of conversation, she said, "If I keep on blaming and thinking of his act towards me, the delaying of my graduation, I will feel miserable and stress. But I just say to myself, this is Allah's decision. Allah knows the best why He delayed His servant graduation time. Maybe He has better plan for me. I just accept Allah's will. It makes me feel much better. I redha with what happened to me throughout my time here. I know Allah is always with me."
I really impressed with what she said and her confidence with Qada' and Qadar. Yes, Allah knows the best for His servant. Sometimes what we think is good for us is actually not what is Allah thinks the best for us. There's always hikmah in everything that Allah gives to us. I remembered when I failed to get JPA scholarship to further study overseas after SPM. It made me feel really sad and disappointed. However, Allah has better plan for me, for my future. I admit that at that time I feel that I didn't mature enough to live far away for my family. If I could turn back time, I don't think I can survive living abroad all alone. Alhamdulillah, Allah gave me opportunity to feel my dream to further my MSc overseas with my husband accompanying me. It's like double joy to me.
Therefore, if Allah doesn't grant our prayer, please don't feel sad and down. Allah knows the best for us.

Laptop Tips #3

2009-01-26T04:54:00.004+08:00

Do you have a digital video camera? For the connection to your laptop, you might want to consider a firewire connection which enable you to capture and play videos through your new laptop, because many models do not yet have a USB port for firewire.

The power of your notebook is drawn from the video card, memory and processor. This is more important especially for video games. Gamers need a powerful video chip from Ati or nVidia or even two graphic cards.

A high end Notebook can be found with RAID, the contents of one drive on the other mirror. It is faster, safer and promisingly high performance.

Another important guideline is the Centrino 2 label plus having Intel Core 2 Duo and wireless N processor in your laptop.

Good notebooks are now equipped with HDMI connector, so that you can connect the laptop to a flat screen TV.

Muaz First Day Out

2009-01-26T03:00:00.002+08:00

Today, 25/01/09 Muaz is already one and half month old. The weather is nice with the sun shines brightly and the temperature is 5 degree celcius. We decided to take Muaz outside to enjoy the fresh air. We spent an hour strolling around our area.

Muaz n Steiff

2009-01-25T06:21:00.002+08:00

This is Muaz's friend, 'Steiff'(beruang kecil). Kalau dah kotor beruang atau bajunya, boleh dihantar servis di kedai2 wakil jualan 'Steiff'. This is our first gift to Muaz.

Laptop Tips #2

2009-01-21T06:10:00.007+08:00

If you are considering a second hand laptop, you soon might be saddened with it. For example, a worn battery, software problems. The better choice is a new one, and it's getting cheaper from time to time.

Usually laptop is presented with Windows Vista basics on board. You might want to pay a bit more, having the Home Premium version is much better especially on multimedia purposes.

Do you travel with your laptop regularly? Then you might also need a good bag, because without proper protection your laptop might been damage easily.

In case you drop your laptop? hard drive problem? unlucky? use the brand/ shop security plan wisely, and you can get up-to three-year guarantee and insurance against all sorts of mishandled.

Bravo Kanoute

2009-01-12T20:10:00.003+08:00

Kanoute lifted his shirt after scoring against Deportivo in their Copa Del Rey clash showing his sympathy and feeling towards the Palestinian.
His action had cause him a yellow card and the next day, he was fined about €3000 by the Spanish Football Federation(PFEF).
The federation rules prohibit any player to show words that can commercialize or such campaign during gameplay. The federation action had cause some protests in Spain.
The federation replied by stressing that they fined him not because of political issue but he had disobeyed the rules by showing a prohibit information.
Kanoute responsed to a private television channel(Telecinco) by stating that "This is what i think i should do. Everyone should have this responsibility when they sees this unfair situation(Gaza). I am fully responsible for what have i done and i don't afraid of it"

Vista Prayer Times

2009-01-07T22:55:00.004+08:00

Salam..

If you are using Windows Vista..then you might want to use the prayer times gadget, this cool gadget allows you to set 'surah' alarm before and after azan. You can set 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 15 minutes before and after azan as alarm to remind you of praying time. It will recite random short surah from Quran. There are also morning azkar(al-mathurat) after fajr azan and evening azkar after asar azan.
You will only get this additional upgrade in athan software(islamic finder), when you pay for it(not include for basic athan).
You can also use it for XP, but it needs a little trick..you can google it :-) or else just use the islamic finder one.

All sorts of azan sound

Alarm tab option

Forgiveness

2009-01-01T07:13:00.003+08:00

From 'The Kite Runner' soundtrack..

O My Lord,
My sins are like
The highest mountain;
My good deeds
Are very few
They’re like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your
Forgiveness and Mercy
Upon me.
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the Final Prophet,
And his family,
And companions,
And those who follow him.

Al- Fatihah buat saudara kita di Gaza

2009-01-01T01:00:00.005+08:00

Salam..

Pertama sekali, tanya diri..apa sumbangan kita atau peranan kita pada saudara semuslim di Gaza. Tidak2 pun, hulurkankan lah sebanyak mana yang termampu(at least rm50/rm100) di tabung2 bantuan yang ada samada di masjid, sekolah, universiti, pejabat dan sebagainya.
Suarakan lah rasa tidak puas hati dan benci pada Israel laknatullah dengan menyertai atau memberi sumbangan pada gerakan2 anti-zionis dan tunjuk perasaan menentang Israel. Semoga usaha2 ini mendapat keredhaan dari Allah dan dapat membuka mata orang ramai termasuk yang bukan islam, rasa keperihatinan kita terhadap saudara jauh kita di Palestin.
Doakanlah supaya Allah menyatu-padukan seluruh muslim terutama golongan arab yang dilihat masih mempunyai kepentingan sendiri, supaya mereka sepakat sekaligus dapat menentang segala rintangan terutamanya dari puak yahudi.
