broken heart

hari tu, hari tu, hari tu lagi* my colleague, she bought lunch for the department, for pre-CNY treat.

And she also went to order heart-shaped pizza. I believe it is to commemorate that old pagan-turned christian festival, that many people (regardless of race, language or religion) seem to celebrate, nowadays.

Yah they celebrate it, by contributing to the economy more on that day. They do it by buying common and/or useless stuff for their loved ones, at a higher-than-normal price.. Or they spam inboxes, with pictures or hearts and roses.

I think most of them, don't know the origins of that day. If they knew, then I think most of them, Muslims especially, will not celebrate.

Wait..where was I?... oh right...they had this heart-shaped pizza during lunch.

BUT nobody wanted to cut it, without their loved ones. It's like 'so wrong' to cut that heart shaped pizza just like that. After a few minutes of them coaxing and teasing each other to cut the cake, I decided to save the day.
Untuk tidak membuang masa lunch yang singkat itu, I offered to cut it, so that we all can get it over with and carry on with our lunch.

I cut it like this:

Kesian eh.. but I like the shape. and I like the colour.

Ingat tak the Monday when i took leave? I had a good sister-in-law-ly outing with dadha. A private meeting, which was loooooong overdue. =D She convinced me to participate in a scrapbooking class that day - which I did, and I like.

Yup.. Besides that, I want to share pictures.
My favourite, wud be the one of Dadha, feeding the giant cat (or mouse?) - I like the mural on the wall.

* hari tu, hari tu, hari tu lagi
- is how nadhrah would say it, to mean 3 days ago.
Kalau nak refer to '4 days ago', tambah aje lagi satu 'hari tu' in front. Kalau nak refer to 'last week'...

* this entry is 'unplugged'. da too ngantuk to check. zzz..

enjet-enjet semut

Found this clip and find that it's soooooooo cute, I just have to share it with all of you. Watch it!

My children played it over and over again, and da hafal pun part of the song. (I wish I can hafal Al-Baqarah that fast.)

enjoy.



p.s. don't take the stereotyping to heart.
in everything we do, we do our best, and lillah. :)

have a good week!

dog's saliva considered najis

In class we are now studying Fiqh Muqaaranah (Fiqh Perbandingan) where one of the differentiating opinions that we need to research on, is on dogs.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The purification of the utensil belonging to any one of you, after it is licked by a dog, lies in washing it seven times, using sand for the first time.
Sahih Muslim, Book 002, Number 0549

It is jumhur ulama (collectively agreed by ulama) that dog's saliva is najis. But we need to determine, the other parts and find the different opinions.

So, while I was trying to find the materials, on the internet, I ended up blogging instead learned something new about dogs. The thing is, although since young, I've accepted that dogs are considered najis berat, I've never really understood why. But kita terima aje hukum ini.

The thing is, I didn't know dogs normally eat faeces (their own and others). I didn't really think it's true, until I looked it up and I found this article>>.

So.. it's no wonder that dog's saliva is najis.

And now I really wonder how some people can allow their dogs to lick their faces or even their babies. Eeuw.




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

p.s.1 = The new tag is 'advance our knowledge' as in the ayat from Al Quran, Ta ha 20:114

High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."

فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَى إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

So insyaAllah, we share and learn - when I find it appropriate to do so. :)

p.s. 2 = I'm not going to post any pics here.. although I have a few many. As I don't want to you all to think that the people in the pics, reminds me of dogs or dogs remind me of them. =D

Nanti.. next post, coming soon, insyaAllah.

tangkap mood

hmm? asal tak blog?

errr..


masih tengah nak tangkap mood..

you know, kalau takde mood, walaupun ada topic, tapi like... it's not from the heart. So, it wouldn't sound sincere. yeah.

jump

Alhamdulillah, my brother came back safely on friday night, despite doing the bungee jump.

Yes he jumped!

And dia kata, the scariest part was while on the platform. walaupun dalam video dia nampak cool aje..dalam hati, Allah aje yang tahu. And after jumping down for a while, and not bouncing up yet, he said his mind, kind of switched off, and only came back, when he bounced. Eisssh.. cari pasal.

And wa salute sama Dadha for having done it before too!
Me? No thanks.

And, last Friday night, we went camping kat East Coast. Last minute kind of thing.

1st time for me, to camp out by the beach, overnight.

The best part for me was, waking up very early morning for Subuh by the beach, and having breakfast at McDonalds there, very early, before the crowd comes. I like. I think we may do it again.

This weekend, in colourful pics:



oh yes, blossmobile ex-door. :p


And, in black & white (with new hp :p - i like!)




Y'know, if I start my weekend by going out on Friday night, then I feel the weekend is a bit longer. Cause I'll return home after that, sleep, and wake up the next morning to find that it's only Saturday.

However, this time, I didn't feel that, in fact I feel it's shorter. Cause although I went out Friday night - yes, but I didn't return home till after class Saturday. Then I woke up this morning to find that it's already Sunday.

Anyway, fret I shall not, cause tomorrow- working, I am not. =D
