Riwayat sepohon mangga

our very own pokok mangga aka pokok pelam

We planted it when we moved to our new house.The day we brought it home, it was as high as my knee..although some people keep saying.."macam hidup segan mati tak mau" ja..but alhamdulillah sekarang dah setinggi pagar rumah. And last few months it started to grow the flower buds..we were so excited. We watched the flower buds grow into small manggo..and till the end..only one survived. Tapi itu pun tak lama...maybe it gets lonely on its own..and last week, i saw the manggo on the ground..:o( maka berakhirnya riwayat buah mangga itu...

Layang layang terbang melayang...

it was a windy afternoon ..and its time to try out the new kites MD bought when he was in China a few weeks ago. The kites are made from a very delicate paper..macam tissue paper and they are attach to each other (about 10 small kites). Kids enjoyed it very much!

My Journey..so far

I am 16 going on 17...ergghh YA WISH!! its more like this I am 16 + 17 hahahha..yupp celebrate my double 3 today. What do i feel? rasanya tak de yang special sangat pun. My day just like every other days...busy with the kids, masak, housechores etc. rasanya at this stage element of surprise dah tak ada lagi kut. MD asked what i want for my birthday...hmmm i said..apa2 pun tak apa. Surprised me..but as i wrote earlier, nowadays..donno la is it because we are getting older or dah malas nak bagi kezuttan..so jawapnya he took me to the shop last weekend and ask me to choose myself a gift. At least my daughter still want to surprise me..she told her daddy why you took mama to buy her gift..nanti dia tahulah...sempat lagi bisik2 to get me a card..by the way she bought me a card from school yesterday..and gave it to me..As for her daddy am still hoping his spontaneous/romantic gesture ada lagi tak banyak sikit pun jadilah..justto spice things up ...why not ? takkan la masa bercinta dulu je kan heheh..is it too much to ask? Above all that...i am thankful to Allah SWT for all the precious gifts in my life..my health, my family, my friends...and many more. Happy Birthday to me!!

Beautiful Tulips

Flowers has always been one of my favourite things. They are soft, beautiful,nice to look at and smells good too. Tulips especially reminds me of one story. Back in Boston 1998, MD as always (dululah..now dah kurengg) being a very romantic person surprised me with a bunch of tulips on my birthday. What makes it more dramatic and unforgettable..he actually "stole" the tulips from all over the place around Northeastern Univ. : the Quad, in front of Video Smith, Lane Health Center, Snell Engineering Building and Willis Halll. hehehe..sapa yang tak cair kan...snow pun cair!!! hmmmm

sekangkang kera

yes...this is my "sekangkang kera" kitchen garden. Although the area is a bit small..but i managed to squeeze enough plant to make it work. From right we have lemongrass, lychee, papaya, kacang botol, pandan and tumeric plant (underneath kacang botol), guava, lime and last but not least pokok misai kucing...Lychee and guava baru nak membesar..harap2 dapat la merasa hasilnya nanti..hmm give it another year or two?? But the kacang botol tu memang lebat. I even gave some to my neighbours and friends. Most of the time we eat it raws..buat ulam...sometimes kalau rajin i'll fry it with eggs and dried shrimp.. My lime tree..hmmm.. let say dah di overshadow by the kacang botol...still there just growing very slowwwly...good things is the ulat is no longer eating the leaves..kalau tak every time new leaves comes out...ulat pun sibukla jugak.... I use the tumeric, lemongrass and pandan in my cooking everytime...very useful. Although am not a very good gardener..cukuplah sekangkang kera ni tu fullfill me...berbudi pada tanah sememangnya tak merugikan!..

Selamat Menyambut Maal Hijrah

My dearest friends...just want to wish all muslim around the world..Happy New Hijrah Year 1429 (10 January 2008). May Allah SWT bless us all with good health and peace. Moga kita ditingkatkan keimanan dah dimurahkan rezeki olehNYA.

MUHARAM adalah bulan pertama dalam tahun Islam (Hijrah). Sebelum Rasulullah berhijrah dari Makkah ke Yathrib, kiraan bulan dibuat mengikut tahun Masihi. Hijrah Rasulullah memberi kesan besar kepada Islam sama ada dari sudut dakwah Rasulullah, ukhuwwah dan syiar Islam itu sendiri.Pada asasnya, Muharam membawa maksud 'diharamkan' atau 'dipantang', iaitu Allah SWT melarang melakukan peperangan atau pertumpahan darah. Namun demikian larangan ini ditamatkan setelah pembukaan Makkah (Al Baqarah: 91). Sejak pemansuhan itu, umat Islam boleh melaksanakan tugas dan ibadat harian tanpa terikat lagi dengan larangan berkenaan.

Doa akhir tahun dibaca 3 kali pada akhir waktu Asar atau sebelum masuk waktu Maghrib pada akhir bulan Zulhijjah.

Doa awal tahun dibaca 3 kali apabila masuk waktu Maghrib pada awal bulan Muharram. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, syaitan berkata: "Kesusahan bagiku dan sia-sialah pekerjaanku menggoda anak Adam pada setahun ini dan Allah binasakan aku satu saat jua. Dengan sebab membaca doa ini, Allah ampunkan dosanya setahun."

Peristiwa-peristiwa penting yang berlaku di bulan Muharram:

1 Muharam - Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab mula membuat penetapan kiraan bulan dalam Hijrah.

10 Muharam - Dinamakan juga hari 'Asyura'. Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran.

Pada 10 Muharam juga telah berlaku:
1.Nabi Adam bertaubat kepada Allah.
2.Nabi Idris diangkat oleh Allah ke langit.
3.Nabi Nuh diselamatkan Allah keluar dari perahunya sesudah bumi ditenggelamkan selama enam bulan.
4.Nabi Ibrahim diselamatkan Allah dari pembakaran Raja Namrud.
5.Allah menurunkan kitab Taurat kepada Nabi Musa.
6.Nabi Yusuf dibebaskan dari penjara.
7.Penglihatan Nabi Yaakob yang kabur dipulihkkan Allah.
8.Nabi Ayub dipulihkan Allah dari penyakit kulit yang dideritainya.
9.Nabi Yunus selamat keluar dari perut ikan paus setelah berada di dalamnya selama 40 hari 40 malam.
10.Laut Merah terbelah dua untuk menyelamatkan Nabi Musa dan pengikutnya dari tentera Firaun.
11.Kesalahan Nabi Daud diampuni Allah.
12.Nabi Sulaiman dikurniakan Allah kerajaan yang besar.

Hari pertama Allah menciptakan alam.
Hari Pertama Allah menurunkan rahmat.
Hari pertama Allah menurunkan hujan.
Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
Allah menjadikan Luh Mahfuz.
Allah menjadikan alam.
Allah menjadikan Malaikat Jibril.
Nabi Isa diangkat ke langit.

oleh itu sama-samalah kita menghayati bulan muharram ini dah jangan lupa berdoa di hujung dan awal tahun semoga buku amalan kita ditutup dan dibuka semula dengan amalan2 yang terpuji. Insyallah.
