flowers for no occasion

Class started yesterday. Got to see Baby Nur and sis Mariam again :)

More hafalan this semester. Even more than the last.

At this point, I don't know how I will survive this semester. But there is some kind of unexplained confidence and positiveness.. macam...'insyaAllah... somehow can do it lah, and pass'. hmm... sounds like complacency.

I'm actually thankful that Eema now has to get on the bus at 610am every weekday. This means I have to wake up earlier, do my subuh EARLY. It also gives me time to do some studies, or home admin work, or just read, or blog.

Actually I think waking up very early is much better than sleeping super late. This shud actually be the normal Muslim routine la kan, if not for the TV programmes. I don't know.. I feel like, I do more fruitful stuff, waking up early, then sleeping late.

Oh, and I got flowers yesterday!!




No occasion.. really.
How often do you get that??
Thanks teddie. It's REALLY beautiful. I love it. But you've been spending way too much on me. It's not like, that will strengthten our sisterhood.

Sincerity, honesty and love lillah - does. So stop spending and go save up for marriage, will ya? Calon dia, nanti kita bleh discuss. =D

Today, hubby is not around the whole day. The kids and I went out for lunch with teddie, mai, oshin and udin. Went back home and found that we have locked ourselves out, cause I forgot to get the keys.

So, we had to kill time, while waiting for Rus to get home. Remembered the interesting low clouds kat bukit timah on the way back from lunch, just now. So we decided to go there.


yes, it was raining. Pink wud have loved it.



alright. monday again tomorrow.

opocot

I used to be cool, when things or people fall. I'd just go like .. 'oops'.

But a few years back (can't remember the exact fateful day), I was infected with the 'opocot' condition.

I got it from a dear friend/colleague/lunch partner, who says it all the time. But she said it in a more omputeh way actually. It sounded like the name of one of the kereta mewah tu. She would say.. 'oh peugeot'.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't blurt out 'oh peugeot'. But I blurt out 'opocot' when things or people fall. And I don't like it. It's sooo uncool kan?!? Especially kalau da pakai stylo milo, with giant sunglasses and all, then cry out 'opocot' in public. Sungguh menjatuhkan imej beta.

I would rather just blurt out 'oops'.

'MasyaAllah' wud be good.

Or better still..stay cool and don't blurt out anything at all.

Does anyone has any suggestion on how to correct this condition?

Come to think of it, I don't think I hear HER say 'oh peugeot' anymore.


p.s. And I'm sorry to all other sisters (or even brothers) who somehow got infected by the opocot condition too. =D MasyaAllah, this thing can actually be contagious eh?!

p.s.2IT'S FRIDAY!!!! yeah!!
oh. but i may have to work tomorrow. :(

the nail clipper

It was late afternoon, in the office. I was so busy ke tahap busy giler.
The phone rang.

M : Hello.
H : Hi. I want to tell you something ah..
M : Yes, dear, what?
H : You know ah, Tok Besar.... do you think, he could be a wali?
M : Wali? you mean jadi my wali, time I nikah? Ya lah.. cause he's my father's uncle..
H : No, not that wali. Like.. you know.. wali. Wali Allah.
M : Ha?! Wali Allah? What are you talking about? What do you mean?
H : I mean, he COULD be you know.
M : ??...Ok now, how did you get to THAT?
H : You know masa kat KL, few days before that.. I've been looking for a nail clipper kan? I've been thinking, where to get that nail clipper. Then, when we met him that night, of the 1001 other things he can choose to give me, he gave me a NAIL CLIPPER.
M : ??.......Oooooh...so he could be a WALI because... he gave you a NAIL CLIPPER? .........
(*burst out laughing*)..... Honey!! how did that make him a WALI?!?! wahpiang!
H : heh.. ya lah..I mean I've been looking for that nail clipper for so long you know, and it's like he knew.. and when he gave it to me.. macam it's a relief.. it's something that I wanted quite badly at that time.
M : hmm... ok... he could be..... because he gave you a nail clipper...
H : yeah.
M : So.. you called me at this time, just to tell me that you think Tok Besar is a wali, because he gave you a nail clipper?
H : Yeah... I was getting the nail clipper from the compartment, then I suddenly thought about it and it's quite.. you know.. amazing ah that he gave me something I needed.
M : oook.
H : Ok. so ..that's all I wanted to tell you. Bye.
M : Bye.

************

But kan...he could be, you know - Tok Besar. After all, dia memang wara' plus the fact that all the time we visited him before, he has never given us 'souvenirs' but that night, out of the blue he gave hubby that. Plus we didn't tell Tok Besar we needed a nail clipper.

Of course, another possible explanation would be, that he saw how LONG the fingernails on the children's fingers are.. and couldn't stand it. So he gave hubby and nail clipper. yeah.

Allahu'alam. anyway, may his Iman be strong and may Allah keep him in good health. And to all of us too. Ameen.

the superheroes..

good morning

how am i today?

Grouchy.

I don't have enough sleep.
I have a migraine because of that.
I have unfinished work at home. - (tks teddie for taking over!!!)
I was late for work (later than usual)
And it's worst when I couldn't find my car key.
Found the car key in the stupidest place - my pencil case. - like WHY ON EARTH DID I KEEP THE CAR KEYS IN THE PENCIL CASE?!?! ya la, semalam pakai baju/skirt with no pocket - but car key in the pencil case?! Don't know what I was thinking.
And I hate the fact that I'm always late for work.
I hate the fact that I'm complacent every morning.

I was driving and looking grouchy all the way to work.
I just need to pour it ALL out..
Not really working..
maybe another hour or so..
Astaghfirullah. Astaghfirullah. Astaghfirullah.

Things I should be thankful for this morning.

I'm still alive.
I still have my house, my family, my friends.
Manage to send eema to her school bus.
Kissed all my kids this morning (hubby pun lah..).
Had a good breakfast.
Found my keys.
I found help for the unfinished work.
I arrived safely at the office.
ALHAMDULILLAH.


Good morning you all.
Sobahul khair.
Have a good day ahead.

blossom, unplugged.

p.s. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING EEMA.

1st day of school

I just got a pimple on the most obvious part of my face.. the tip of my nose. Great.
But that may help me learn to lower my gaze - Alhamdulillah.
But that's not the topic of discussion here..

Alhamdulillah, these 2 days, have been okay mostly. Eema and Nadh settled in well.
Have a peek..


*distracted* ..Subhanallah! what a GIANT tree!


Eema's buddy, Atiqah
