Monday Blues...if only I can give excuses like some people messaging their bosses : Kereta rosak lah,sakit lah...hmmm..

This morning we rushed as usual.Hmmm...Ok I need to go get the biggest alarm clock ever.One thing about me when I dah terjaga before subuh and then tertidur after that...memang terlajak.I dont like it .Have to do something about it. After that ingatkan nak singgah my sisters house just for a while but then her hubby offered breakfast and coffee ,where my hubby can resist.Makan ,chat,had coffee after coffee then it was 10am.Hmmm cepatnya masa berlalu. Right after that hubby teman me to the supermarket.We bought stuffs yang patutnya beli last week but then tak sempat. After that straight balik.I lied down for a while. Ni just finished sorting my pantry and swept the house. Going in to shower and get ready for Zohor. Will have to cook something for lil one balik nanti lapar.

Decision made

As I felt funny after coming back not covering my head,I have been wearing scarf since Day One we arrived.Hubby said its alright .So I love the scarf on my head..Learning sikit sikit I know this might sound silly to some people but I am just not ready to pakai tudung litup tu. Hubby said kalau nak belajar pakai,try dulu with scarf,jangan terus pakai tudung coz takut nanti kalau tak selesa nak buka tudung tu dah malukan?Ye betul tu hubbs...Actually I tak malu dengan manusia but I realised one thing Manusia ni judgemental.We should be only afraid of God I believe so. Thanks for not forcing me into something or anything pun for that matter...Thanks also for always listening to what I have to say.For example when I wanted to put on the scarf on my head he listened.He didnt make any silly or hurtful comment.Thanks for that. I am ever so grateful to Mom and Dad for saying beautiful things when they saw me with my scarf.They gave me encouragement.Its a big step I know. Now I understand why on...

Musuem

Apart from beribadah di masjid,we were taken berziarah ,one of it is to the musuem of Mekah.Its amazing.I thought Mekah dont have any musuem and zoo but there is a musuem and also a camel and goat farm out in the dessert.

On Friday

After dinner we found someone with a kereta rosak.Hubby and his brother decided to help and here is some picture.:) That person was really thankful to hubby and his brother eventhough the car couldnt be started after the jumpstart.

Scenic views My sisters and I are mentally and emotionally still in Mekah and Madinah. When we heard that someone is leaving for Umrah our heart goes "Awww how nice,we want to follow".. We all appreciate the experience so much.Subhanallah.Thank You Allah for allowing us to feel this way Today i met my younger sister and gave her a doa from a book I found in MPH a couple of days ago. Its amazing how reading and loving books makes you want to know more and I think I'm going book shopping in a couple of days. Going to search for that book I saw at my friends house.

Lazy Sunday

Its Sunday morning...I have this geram feeling coz hubby's golf day..ha ha..I 'll be left at home with the lil one minding ourselves.Never mind...let him have his round of exercise.Now he is cooking for us ..hee hee Just texting both sisters telling them that we should get together at our cousins house next saturday to help her .She's moving soon so we need to help her sort out stuffs. I'll be having brunch today with little sister.And lil one needs her help with her homework. My house need a revamp but I am doing it slowly one at a time.Kalau tak I pengsan.
This morning after lil one finished her ballet hubby said he wanted to eat steamboat so off we went.Even lil one finished her Yeemee. After that we came home and rest for a while.At about 4 pm we reached mummy's house.There was a birthday party for my boy cousin.Why I emphasis on boy cousin is because from number one to number 5 cousins -we're all girls. He is 24 that makes me old..hmmm At the party the lil children had fun jump into the pool splashing away. Got to catch up with family members tonight and had great food. Now we're all exhausted and I'm mentally preparing myself for a relaxing Sunday.

An advice

Kalau ada rezeki nak buat Umrah,pergilah ...Betapa seronoknya berada di sana and betapa rindunya I pada Haram and Madinah. An advice from Ayah: Daftarlah dengan Tabung Haji secepat yang boleh.Its better to perform your Haj when you're still young and strong. My older sister is seriously thinking about it already. Hubby and I will have to settle our debts first before registering for Haj

I'm being me?

I managed to shower her at my sisters house.And fed the kids spaghetti goreng.After that my sister sent the kids for their mengaji and I came home. Now I 'm trying to clean my house .I need to sort out clothes yang tak terkira banyaknya. I told hubby this morning we need to sedekah sikit lah baju baju yang masih elok and yang tak pakai. Not worth keeping baju and make a mess of our wardrobe sedangkan kalau kita sedekah,orang susah sure happy dapat baju elok kan? I will wait for them to come home and then get the lil one ready .We're suprising her a visit to her " girls cousins" house...She's been asking about them since last Sunday when we arrived from Haram. Bet she's going to have fun tonight:)

Cleaning day

Friday 17 april 2009 We woke up quiet late this morning and rushed to send lil one to school.Luckily she wasnt that late. Then hubby said he wanted to try minum pagi at a place near our house.So we went.Ok la not bad.I had nasi pagi pagi boleh?Then suddenly I felt the urge to poo big time.We rushed home. After that sembang with him for a while and then we fell asleep.So tired coz we slept quite late last night... Upon waking up I saw the clock it was 10.40 am...Oh no...I never do this on normal days you know.I guess my body is still adjusting to our time again. Hubby went off for Friday Prayers and I started cleaning. While cleaning I thought about books.I so want to go to the bookshop and get books. Religious books. I stumbled on a book yesterday at hubby's friends house.It is such a good book title " SOLAT "...Everything we want to know is in there...Told him to ask his sister where she got the book from.And for the first time in my life I saw a Quran with Malay transla...
It is Thursday.As we got back on Sunday,I automatically didnt want to layan my body sangat.Let it get back to normal but this morning I missed the alarm clock and my body ache like nobody's business. Is it Jet lag?I guess so because mak and ayah said they're feeling better today. I guess my body aching because of the fall i had before leaving for umrah.Sekarang baru terasa sakit because when that thing happened I prayed hard to god,please let it be nothing because I am going for my umrah.Alhamdulillah there,no pain except the first day i felt feverish.After a good sleep,i was ok,syukur. Everything was fine,I dapat menunaikan umrah and menyerah diri pada Allah sepenuhnya. Balik sini,thursday ni sakit nya ya amat menyakitkan but luckily I thought of the habbatussauda .Alhamdulillah it work Now I am getting the lil one ready.After Maghrib hubby wants to meet up with his bestfriend

Black Seed@habbatussauda@jintan hitam

habbatussauda Hubby brought home some the black seeds and the oil. This morning I was crampy and had an achy back,I munched a bit fo the habbatussauda and after that I felt good,tummy ringan,back no more pain... It maybe a conincidence but they say habbatussauda is good for you. I believe it now.

On the way to Madinah

Riyals

Talking about Riyals@Shop and Guards of the masjids I was suprised to see that when we go to shops or even masjids,the seller or the guards can converse in Malay.Hairan bin Ajaib,Kalau sikit sikit tu ok jugak ni,dah bercakap Melayu. Hmm ...Good fact about that is senang nak bargain...You just said the price of something and say "Halal Halal"...Selagi dia tak sebut Halal,do not pay up. Just walk away ,they'll call you back definitely for sure. And for us to enter the masjids dengan tenang and senang,open up your bags and beri Salam to the guards,they'll always smile or balas your salam and sudi sudi kan you masuk the masjid. One to one duit kita dengan Riyal but if you change over there,you untung sikit lah. I finished all the riyal I went with.In fact masa nak makan at the airport pun we all shared our balace Riyals..cuma at the airport they dont accept MYR. At the shops in Mekah and Madinah,they do accept MYR..

Ibadah Journey

On the day of departure,we woke up early,I made breakfast,last minute packing,mandi taubat,mandi musafir ,berzikir and trying to act cool. I dunno everytime when I'm about to leave on a long or short journey,I get anxious.Nervous. Especially this last trip because we were heading to Saudi. After semua dah siap, before memijakkan kaki keluar dari pintu rumah,Hubby recited Doa Keluar Rumah@Musafir. We drove ourselves to meeting point at my siblings house.Upon reaching there everyone was like you know quiet,panic,relax,nervous.We were served breakfast and nescafe. Then before leaving the house,My sister's hubby recited the Doa again.He was sobbing reciting the doa and that made us all sobbed too...So sedih. Grandma's drivers sent us off to the airport. After we took the left turning from Tropicana heading towards KLIA,cars jammed,not moving,and we thought oh no we might be late for boarding, and then as the car moved very slowly,we realised that drivers on our side were lookin...

On the way berziarah Masjidil Haram...just by our hotel Ubaidiyah Jabal Rahmah Memories Lingering at the back of my head.I dont post face pictures because I'm a privvy person..so Just some shots here and there ..

Am I Korean?Or I'm Multi cultured?

One day after our Asar Prayers at Masjidil Haram my sisters and I went shopping for Abaya at one shop below the hotel.With hubby's permission of course.As I was looking thru some Abaya's outside the shop while 2 sisters inside excitedly searching for theirs,One old lady couldnt stop looking at me.I look at her and smiled,she smiled back at me... After that I went into the shop and sat down on a stool while both sisters still searching and looking for their abaya's...that same lady came to me and touch my face and smiled at me,asking me by pointing and broken English,"You you Korean?"...I smiled and said ,"No no I'm Malaysian:)" OOOO She said,then she came nearer and said this, "You face same same my son wife"...And I went ,"Awww same same?" "Masya Allah"...Alhamdulillah"...She just couldnt stop looking and smiling at me:) That reminds me,In 1999 on a trip to Spain and France with little sister and Parents,I get this...
