Allah is at the window

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse,he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching!

Fatima had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day Grandma said, ' Fatima , let's wash the dishes.' But Fatima said, 'Grandma, Ahmed told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.' Then she whispered to him, 'Remember the duck?' So Ahmed did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Fatima to help make supper.

Fatima just smiled and said, 'Well, that's all right because Ahmed told me he wanted to help.' She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Fatima went fishing and Ahmed stayed to help.

After several days of Ahmed doing both his chores and Fatima 's, he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see,I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would
let Fatima make a slave of you.'

Thought for the day and every day thereafter?

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You
need to know that Allah was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.

He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of
you.

The great thing about Allah is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He loves you. It is by Allah's grace and mercy that we are saved.

Go ahead and make a difference in someone's life today. Share this with a friend and always remember: Allah is at the window!

A Tribute to Karipap!!

 

hahahahaha.. ok this is weird.. i know.

why karipap?

2 hari yg lepas, telah berlakunya satu usaha yang sangat2 mengagumkan bagi diriku dan juga hausmate ku. why?

coz ktorang decide utk buat karipap. iye... karipap.. dengan nama lain epuk-epuk. ok aku pasti ramai tak tau karipap is equal to epuk-epuk. aku rasa nama jawa dia kot. sbb kecik2 aku pangge kuih ni epuk-epuk. dan iye.. aku nih anak jawa. only that tak reti jek ckp jawa.hihi )

 

ok berbalik pada persoalan asal. why karipap?

1. sbb byk kentang kt umah tu, aku tapau dr umah kg yg mana terdapat sekotak kentang (tak ingat brape kilo) yang adik aku telah beli khas utk open house. kononnya nk buat begedil utk hidangan soto. malangnya kentang2 tersebut tidak tersentuh kerana masing2 telah sibuk menguruskan emak yg perlu masuk ke hospital.

2. mmg aku dh lama nk masterkan diriku utk buat karipap nih. 1st attempt masa puasa lepas. inti jadi.. tp malangnya doh tak menjadi. so jd apa entah aku pun tak pasti. tapi aku layan mkn gak maklum la takde backup plan lain selain karipap yg tak menjadi itu. layannnn je la karipap tak menjadi tu sorang2 ( hausmet tarak masa tu balik kg.. nasib la dia takde.. mau jenuh kena kutuk sepanjang tahun akibat karipap tak menjadi itu)

 

so kali ini, berkat 2 kepala utk membuat karipap diharapkan menjadi la hendaknya. so L ditugaskan wat inti dia. bab tu no hal la. member dh terer masak kari. superb je la rasa inti dia. so aku kena wat doh. so aku ikut je la seperti yg diberitahu oleh L. masuk minyak n marjerin yg telah dipanaskan.. so aku masukkan. masukkan air.. so aku masukkan.. uli.. uli.. uli... dan terus uli.... okay... melekit2 beb!!!.. (mcm doh yg tak menjadi jek nih. huhuhuhuhu )

 

takpe2.. try lipat n kelim. dan goreng.. hahahhahahaha hodoh tahap gaban siot! :)) 1st attempt is hancur! serius hancur!! tapi ktorang mkn gak. maklum la takde backup mknan lain selain karipap tak menjadi ituh. ekekkekekkke.

 

the next day, aku buat research utk kaji awat doh aku jd mcm tuh. siap buat research tuh. kekekekekek :)). (yes, aku mmg kureng dr segi masak memasak ini. but still we learn from mistake right? ). so this time, dengan penuh semangat aku smpai umah dan terus capai tepung yg tertinggal. kali ini aku guna skit jek tepung (actually mmg tinggal skit je pun tepung tuh. hehe). panaskan minyak n marjerin. then masukkan dlm tepung and uli.. uli.. uli.. pastu masukkan air sedikit demi sedikit. and yezaaaaaaa.. dia tak melekat!!!.. ok2 jgn over confiden sgt. next L pun smpai umah dan panaskan inti semalam. lepas nipiskan doh tu, L pun lipat n kelim karipap. wow! cun beb. ada rupe karipap. :)). opps again jgn confiden sgt. kena goreng dulu apa jadi. dengan api yg perlahan karipap itu pun digoreng. yess... masih berupa karipap!! positif positif.. but still jgn over confiden lagi beb. how about the taste!?? ok part nih yg paling gabra sekali. dengan kurang kesabaran, karipap yg baru lepas digoreng tu kami cuba juga nk mkn. ye... mmg panas.... so sejukkan sekejap. then mkn... mmmmmm....mmmmmm... mmmmmmm... alhamdulillah.. mmg rasa karipap! not bad plak tuh. bravo2! hahahhahahahhaha.. tahniah utk diri sendiri. hihihiiihh.. bangga2!

 

bangga diatas diri kami yang telah berjaya buat karipap!!! hahahahhahahha. i dont care watever u say.. buat karipap pun nk hebahkan satu dunia. pedulik hape aku. but still this is a very good memory for me n myhausmet. aku takkan lupekan sampai bile2!! thanks for my dear hausmet, L for her good effort making this come true. eceh. hahahaha. (hanya aku n myhausmet aku saja yg tahu... wink wink ^-^).

Ya Allah - kau permudahkanlah...

minggu ini aku rasa diri aku mcm tak menentu. segala benda yg aku buat rasa seperti mcm ada yg tak kena. akal aku bagaikan cuma membentak menutup segala motivasi yg ada utk aku meneruskan sesuatu. wahai akal, berilah aku sebab mengapa? adakah hati yg punya angkara? kenapa perlu kau ikut kata hati sedangkan kau yg lebih bijak memutuskannya.

bila akal tidak dapat berfungsi utk berfikir aku pasti ada sesuatu yg tidak kena.
sesuatu itulah yg aku slalu risaukan.
kerana sesuatu itulah yg selalunya perkara buruk pasti akan berlaku.

tahyul? mungkin..
karut? eh bukankah ia sinonim dengan tahyul.
yg pasti kalau ia bakal berlaku, mmg itu sudah ketentuanNya.
siapa aku untuk menolak takdir yg telah ditentukan oleh-Nya.

I Wish You Love

Rachel Yamagata's version of "I Wish You Love"

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love

And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

Terjumpe lagu ni masa cuci mata kt flickr. Nice lyrics, hmm camne lagu nih ek.. so click ke youtube. dengar.. dengar.. dan dengar.. so serene.. terus jatuh cinta dengan lagu nih. rasa nya sebelum nih penah dengar penyanyi nih nyanyi. oh ye from the flickr page mention lagu nih dari ost movie PRIME. haa movie nih penah tgk. aku rs kt astro kot. zaman2 bosan tak tau nk tgk crite apa. anyway, tak rugi tgk pun. sbb kalo movie nih aku bleh ingat, meaning movie ni mmg lah menarik.

cerita bekisar pasal sorang lady (umar thurman) yg cukup berkerjaya dan berjaya. tp ada problem skit, tak ingat problem apa tp sbbkan problem tu dia kena g consult kt pakar sakit jiwa.. eh pakar sakit jiwa tuh mcm kritikal la plak. aku rasa psychoanalyst (Meryl Streep) kot. so antara babak dia dan psychoanalyst tu agak lawak la juga :D. nk dijadikan cerita dia bertemu dengan pelukis muda/artist(Bryan Greenberg) nih. dan diorang ada affair la lepas tuh. artist nih muda gile dr dia. maybe dlm belasan tahun beza. so masing2 jatuh cinta. cuma lady nih mcm tak sure, betul ke dia akan bahagia dgn artist nih dan bleh ke dia mmbahagiakannya. yg pasti mereka mmg saling cinta mencintai. yg paling menarik sekali, artist tuh adalah anak kepada psychoanalyst tuh. mmg kebetulan la. hehehe. so semakin menarik la crita ini. coz psychoanalyst tu sure tahu la kan lady nih camne maklum la segala problem dia psychoanalyst nih tau. hihhihi. jadi bile keadaan makin kompleks dan perasaan makin keliru. the lady decide utk putuskan hubungan dengan artist nih even dia mmg sgt2 mencintainya. sbb dia takut diri dia terlalu tua dan mcm tak mahu merosakkan masa depan artist tuh. sesuai sgt la dgn lirik lagu 'i wish you love'. :)

ending agak sedih, but still happy ending pd aku la. sbb masing2 dpt meneruskan hidup secara normal. tiada penyesalan. sometimes kita akan lihat masa lalu bagi memperingati segala kenangan. yg penting tiada penyesalan sebab itu adalah pilihan yg telah dibuat. hidup perlu diteruskan, kerana masa depan adalah realiti yg sebenar. :)

A New Day Has Come

01.08.08 tarikh keramat bagi my dear lovely friend, Pakma.

Pagi tadi seperti biasa alarm handphone berbunyi memekakkan telinga, memaksa aku untuk bangun dari tidur. Yes, wake up salina!! Wake up or you'll be late for work. Then baru perasan, got new sms from Pakma. Date: 010808, Time : 02:25, Msg : "Mek, tido dh ke? Aku rasa air aku dh pecah la huhuhu (add with a confused animation icon)". Dengan blur plus terkejut, aku balas sms bertanyakan samada dia sudah bersalin atau tidak. Alhamdulillah dia sudah selamat bersalin Baby Boy! Not sure siapa yang balas, may be her hubby kot.

So this is the song that happen playing in my head after knowing that great news. Here i would like to dedicate this song to my dear dear friends, Pakma. Congratulation for her newly born, Baby Boy. Songs by Celine Dion, A New Day Has Come. ^-^


A new day has...come


I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear


Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you


Hush, love


I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come


Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy


Hush, love


I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come


A new day has...come
Ohhh, a light... OOh

Musim Buah Rambutan

Musim Buah Rambutan

Rambutan season is BACK! Weekend lepas sahaja, kesemua buah rambutan telah masak ranum. Pergh... mmg geram jek tgk dari bawah pokok. Tak perlu panjat pokok tuh, hanya berdiri dan petik. :D Tapi yang kat atas pokok tuh terpaksa la panjat.

Ini rambutan gading. Aku rasa sepanjang jalan menghala kerumah aku tak perasan pula samada rambutan kat rumah org lain telah masak menguning. Setelah penat dan keletihan mengutip dan mengumpul buah rambutan, cuaca pula agak cerah, sempat la aku mengambil beberapa shot menarik bersempena musim rambutan kali ini. Bila lagi kan nk tangkap gambar cemni. hehe.

A little bit of sky shoot. Blue.. blue sky :D

Ops.. didapati terdapat suatu objek diatas pokok rambutan tersebut. Oh bukan monyet atau yang seumpamanya. Adik aku tuh. Dia la yg ditugaskan memangkas dahan rambutan. Ala-ala tarzan gitu. Hehe.

Another shot of sky..

I also took some crazy shot with my little brother and sister. But anyway, i wont plan to put it here. Its really some craziness stuff during the proses of tired-while-collecting-therambutan. Hehehe..

I am kind a regret to bring not-so-much rambutan to kl. Why? Because while sent it to my niece within the flat area where she live, there were a bunch of kids notice me with the rambutan. They kind a begging me for the rambutan. "Kak... nak rambutan.. " With a such pity face.. Alah.. kesiannya.. Nasib la aku bawa terlebih satu. So aku bagi seikat kat diorang. Suddenly, sorang uncle pula nampak aku pegang rambutan tuh. Dia pun macam teringin sangat nk rambutan tuh. So i ask the kids to give it some to that uncle. One of the kids who was holding the rambutan, just stand there and holding the rambutan thightly! Seems like protecting a treasure or some valuable stuff!!

Conclusion, next year i will bring more and giveaway to the one needed. ^-^

Senyuman itu

Senyuman itu

Disini aku berdiri, memerhati.. tatkala itu aku terpandang, Senyuman itu.
Aku terkesima.. adakah ia untukku?
Mungkinkah?
Ah mustahil.. mana mungkin ia untukku.
Tapi biarlah, jika ia bukan untukku..
Yang pastinya aku sudah tertarik,
Dengan Senyuman itu.

Senyuman itu, bagaikan senyuman si bayi,
begitu ikhlas dan jujur.
tiada niat yang tersorok.
tiada maksud yang tersembunyi.
yang ada hanya Senyuman itu.

Melihat nya saja, aku sudah cukup berbahagia.
Terima kasih tuhan.

Moga berbahagia lah mereka-mereka yang menerima Senyuman itu.
Mungkin ada dugaan yang tak diduga menimpa,

aku harap Senyuman itu akan terus kekal disitu.

Senyum-senyumlah selalu... wahai Senyuman itu. :)
