countdown to Ramadhan

assalamualaikum,

sekarang, lagho sangat. just now, i did some calculating to count the days left before ramadhan. 11 days left to preheat/re-heat the engine. 

what to do????

each of us has our own uniqueness. instead of following others' plan, why don't we try to work on our own plan to weight with our abilities/capabilities/expectations. baru tak stress. mungkin sebab tu kita selalu dengar orang kata, Ramadhan ni memang lah singkat but it takes 11 months to prepare for it. sebulan yang singkat tapi penuh barakah. 

yang belum mula training, let's start right now. nak jogging pun kena warm -up. apatah lagi nak memasuki bulan Ramadhan.

i personally think, this coming Ramadhan will be the toughest as compared to the previous years. blame on the practicum. eh, main 'blame' pulak. 

i already discussed the problem with my friend. guess what she said. it should not be a burden yet a process of learning and a booster to be a better caliph. well, years to come, i'll still have to face the same moment and difficulty back to back. 

what can we do right now in order to prepare us, physically and mentally, for Ramadhan?

urm, maybe...

1) slowly, add up at least one or two pages per day to recite as well as tadabbur as to prepare us for tadarus. 

2) qiamullail. starting from today on wards. make sure you wake up at least ten minute to fifteen minutes earlier before subuh praying calls. i'm talking to myself right now coz i always almost lose when it comes to qiamullail.  

3) puasa sunat. sebenarnya dah terlambat sebab sesetengah berpendapat tak digalakkan puasa sunat dah sekarang melainkan org yang sudah terbiasa puasa sunat. pendapat orang. tak tahu kesahihan. relax.don't panic. you can prepare yourself mentally. talk to yourself that you're going to fast very soon. be patient. macam lawak, but it works as intrinsic motivation. 

lagi? list down by yourself. paste somewhere/anywhere you can see. 

last but not least, don't forget to recite this prayer. 

Allahumma bariklana fi Syaaban. Wa balighna Ramadhan.

till then,

countdown starts. #jyaaaaa#

pesanan dari yang berpengalaman

assalamualaikum,

life is indeed a learning process. berkat jalan-jalan menghirup udara di bilik orang.

dapat belajar sesuatu.

katanya,

early marriage is not always easy. so, if you really want to, make sure you're ready to sacrifice. avoid demanding perfection. don't demand on things that you know, you can't get. kurangkan meminta, jangan lokek memberi.

faham?

saya faham! my respect goes to her.

being a woman, i know. it's not easy to ignore our desires. talking about desires. you name it. i want a classy branded handbag. i want a blouse. i want a branded watch. i want a rich husband. i want my husband to support me financially because i'm his wife and that's part of husband's responsibility in marriage life. sah bankrupt lelaki itu! =) i want everything in my wishlists. bulu kaki pun kena jual. =P

starting from today on wards. girls. stop day dreaming. ask every women. almost everyone would want to get married. kalau boleh, as soon as possible. but, how prepared are we? how much are we ready to sacrifice? ready to stop day dreaming?

semalam, keputusan posting seniors dah keluar. yang kahwin dapat posting dekat suami. yang 'single', berbakti di seberang lautan. pergh.  konklusinya, bertambahlah surat permohonan untuk berkahwin di HEP lepas ni. =)

macam kena hantar surat permohonan dekat rumah jugak ni. =P

till then,

report card

assalamualaikum,

hati dah tenang, baru boleh menterjemahkan apa di hati dan di minda. hehe

the house hunt had ended. we finally decided to split up. thinking of the cost. perghh. it cost a bomb. no shopping or else no savings.

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

every city in the world has a village in its heart, you will never understand the city, unless you understand the village..

we fell in love at first sight. I never realized the existence of Balik Pulau.

such a lovely place to stay!

house hunting

assalamualaikum,

this is my report card.

house hunting started today. we were so lucky to meet mak cik kalsom. but, i just couldn't imagine how to sumbat 6 human with different sizes in one bedroom village house.

experience makes us human.

perghh..it's not an easy job to find a house that suited our interest. our budget especially.

one bedroom village house would cost us 350 per month. amacam? affordable but still expensive for a small village house. what to do. to compare with guest house, we surely couldn't afford to pay 700 per month.

one more thing to consider was the location. we wanted a house located in between of our schools. fyi, every pair got different school. there were 4 lucky pairs in my class.

all the best buat geng pencari rumah.

my first time experiencing  house hunting. ingatke nanti zaman dah keje baru ada experience ni. tapi awal pulak. excited + pening.

till then, assalamualaikum.

Prac. 2

Assalamualaikum,

Everything in life happens for a reason. He never gives you something you can't handle. So when things are bad, just remember, things always get better.

practicum 2 is almost here. *drum roll*

SK Sungai Pinang
Balik Pulau
Pulau Pinang

we have decided to rent a house there instead of ulang alik. it's gonna be my first time experience. It's not experience that matters but money. huhu. they sent us everywhere but still, our allowance is fixed. our practicum allowance is fixed.

so many things to consider. well, it's gonna be my first time renting a house.

actually, the only thing that causes me a head ache right now is the place. takut. last time, when i was in Tanjung Tokong. my friend told me that the area was a blacklisted area in Penang.

one more thing, exam result. scariest

"O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, do not leave me for even the duration of an eye blink (duration) and correct my total condition. Besides You there is none worthy of worship".

till then, assalamualaikum. 

back to school (oho!) and selamat hari bapak (hoho!)

assalamualaikum,

for every beginning there is an ending.  school holiday is over. 3 weeks seems to be short.

today is father's day. isn't it?

Do you have a father?
 Yes, I do.

Do you love your father? 
Yes, I do.

How much do you love your father?

said a child to his/ her father.

Why do you love your father?
I love him because he raise me up and shower me with endless love and care

Is that all? 
He gives me money and he is my body guard.

How if your father doesn't raise you up but he let someone else to do it? Do you still love your father?
Hurm. let me think for a while. but, why he let someone else to raise me up when he could do it by himself?
this question is too difficult to answer.

but if you ask me,
iA, i'll still love him. Allah sends him to me for reasons.

but my father raise me up. he gives me money. he gives me the best education. he shows me the right path to choose and to walk down. he gives me everything that i need.

therefore, i have no reason to stop loving him.

 i love him more than he knows.  I love him more than anyone else. i'm afraid of losing him but i know, there's nothing permanent in this world. therefore, before he closes his eyes,  i wanna be the best i could  for him. in every ways i could. i'll try my best and i'm doing one right now. pursuing my dream to be the best teacher in this whole world. teaching is his passion. teaching will be my passion soon.

to all fathers out there. be proud of this amanah. Happy father's day. every day is your day but today, your children want to show how much they love you. so, tear down your ego wall and tell them how much you love them always and forever. hehehe.

buat yang belum jadi bapa, rugi sungguh. =D

till then, assalamualaikum. 

Look who's two

assalamualaikum,

2 year olds rocks!

stunning little girl is turning two. 

currently, she's staying with Opah cz she's one in a million. her ummi couldn't cope with three and work and alone in Labuan, so, she has to leave her little precious under Opah supervision. she's doing good. gaining weight in the blink of an eye well, that's the benefits staying with your grandparents. she's nothing else to do except eat. she wakes up and immediately heading to the kitchen looking for some foods. btw, that's her secret of gaining weight. if we bring her outside for sight seeing, people would say she's 3 instead of two. hehe. sadly, she couldn't speak yet. she could only mumble words and do instructions. opps, she could say mok. mok is opah. nak is i want. aaanak is i don't want. no..no..no is don't disturb me. ooookk is poo. ni is ummi. anyah is angah. that's it. she rarely speaks unless you force her to speak. she is good at slapping people and she's also a big fan of upin&ipin and Boboiboy. If you say yaya, she will automatically re enact the famous action in Boboiboy. 

sebijik macam ni

she sleeps four times a day. she must take a short nap after morning shower and afternoon shower. if not, she could be a monster. she is a champion in turning a tidy house to a messy house. she loves to unfold and mess up all the clothing on the rack and in the cupboard. tell what. if you halang her, she will find other ways to quench her thirst. since i'm on holidays, i'm the one who always bullied and being bullied by her. she has done everything that can make everyone's blood boil. spill out baby oil onto the floor. unfold and mess up clothing on the rack. she even tries our clothes. haha. very feminine little girl. 

but, she is also our clown. everything she does makes us laugh sometimes but most of the time makes us crazy. if the telephone rings, she will quickly call mok..mok. she's actually calling my mak to answer the telephone call. If anyone's mobile phones in this house is ringing, she quickly grab my mom phone and acting like she's talking to someone. 

but, at night, everyone would lawan tolak-tolak. who would want to sleep with her tonight? haha. you'll experience a nightmare. she wakes up at least two times in the middle of the night asking for milk and sometimes just for crying. huhu. that's at least coz sometimes it could be more than two times. for this two weeks, it's always me but after this no more. two days left to enjoy my holidays. lepas niopah la. opah kata macam beranak kecik balik. haha  =D

for now, she hates skirt. she will choose her own baju. if she wants to wear pyjama in the morning. dare to say no. she will cry on top of her lungs. opah always gives up and follow her will but not me. i'll choose before her and shut the door of the room where we keep her baju and say 'cantik baju ni, baju lain habis'. haha. it works sometimes but not all the time. haha. she's a clever little chipmunk. 

till then, assalamualaikum.

think and decide

assalamualaikum,

on air lagi.
selagi adaptation process tak habis

the discomfort affected my lips and the inside of my cheek sides. the painful sore inside my mouth. swollen upper and lower lips.

my niece slapped my cheeks. dah biasa melawak. tapi xbolehla sekarang. sakit. rasa macam nak tampaq balik laju-laju.

talking to my sis on the phone. she said she wanted to put on braces too. i suggested to her not to coz sekali anak dia lempang pipi, mesti rasa nak lempang dua kali ganda. sakit. budak-budak kan suka lawak-lawak tampar pipi. huhu.

talking to my baby sister on the phone. she said, its okay. it will last only for a while.

mak suggested me to take off the braces. haha.

think before you decide to put your braces on. =D

till then,
 assalamualaikum.

braces on

assalamualaikum,

 i requested not to prolong the amount of time for me to wear this cage. mia father called it cage. haha. creative. In return, he warned me to come regularly for check ups. siap warning,  If you come regularly for check ups, it will be far lesser than the estimated time. okay. iA. I'll try my best not to miss any appointments. Since yesterday onward, the clinic will be my second home sweet home. hihi.

remember syahira,
don't miss any check ups. be punctual and avoid eating hard foods. hadoii. that's the real price of braces.

so, today was my first day. it hurt me in every way. i couldn't eat hard foods. the pain was still bearable. I still remembered telling a friend of mine that I must bear the tooth ache pain coz soon, it's nothing as compared to the giving birth pain. hamik. berpandangan jauh. that was yesterday but today, i completely surrendered. the pain was nothing comparable. it was painful when i was trying to chew. how could i eat without chewing. huh. i had to eat porridge. by the time the braces off, i will be a great chef . a healthy chef. i kept on googling the best way to brush my teeth. the best way to eat without pain. everything was 'the best way' and 'without pain'.

this pain was nothing comparable because it lasted for so long. at least, giving birth might take only a few hours.   once the baby popped out, the pain might automatically get healed. lepas tu, boleh makan. kalau tak boleh makan? perut lapar. ='(

i contacted my braces mates and they said, the pain will go off after one or two weeks. okok. one or two weeks. that means, i have to build more patience buildings in me. this is only a test. a small test chosen by me.no one else except me. therefore,  redah je since i have no other better choice. May Allah ease.

i already made up my mind, i would share this experience to my future generations. not to scare them off but to remind them to always be brave to have their gigi susu extracted to give space for gigi kekal untuk tumbuh. if not, they would have to bear the discomfort that i already experienced once when i was young. aceehh.

mari belajar,

12/6/2013
12 noon

I had another two teeth pulled.

 sampai rumah mak kata:

 habis gigi hang. sayang ja. bukan dok buruk. hahaha.

remember, i said i did my readings right. so, here is the website. 

what should everyone do before the treatment starts is taking a picture of yourself. =D

assalamualaikum

a new smile

assalamualaikum,

every painful story has a successful ending.

just came back from a dental clinic. hihi. i spend a lot of time thinking. now, no more coz the process had begun.

according to the dentist, i needed to extract 4 teeth. i was thinking of something else. ofcos, i was a bit scared. thinking of the whole process.

so, last night. i did some readings just to ensure my readiness and equipped myself with some information about braces. i kept on asking myself. why? why? why? i knew i must have strong reasons for that so i won't regret upon my decision.

so, after having my lunch today, i dressed up with my black jubah and made my way to the clinic. on my way, i kept on asking myself should or shouldn't. once arrived, i quickly turned off the engine, locked the doors and walked as fast as i could into the clinic. bukan apa. once i stopped, i knew i would  say no to braces forever. muahaha.

until now, i kept on arguing myself.

just now, i had 2 teeth extracted. tomorrow will be another two.

he explained about the procedures before he began the injection process. i was glad cz i was the only patient, so, i got a special privileged to listen to some explanations and rest on the special chair until my gums were totally numb and ready for extraction process. hehe.  it was a smooth journey. sakit sikit waktu injection. i felt no pain during the extraction process.

sayang tengok gigi-gigi tadi. elok je. terima kasih untuk service terbaik selama 21 tahun 8 bulan. tak pernah mengecewakan.

till then, assalamualaikum.

assalamualaikum,

let's continue,

on the 1st June, i did something crazy. i did a marathon. marathon makan nasi minyak. huhu. i departed from home at 11 and went to the first house which was just a few kilometers away from my house. i reached early than the bride and groom. i made a u turn lah cz i knew no one except the bride. the bride was my former naqibah. i couldn't attend her walimah, that's why i decided to go to her husband's side's wedding reception. xde rezeki.

i then drove to the second kenduri. i just tried my luck cz i didn't even have the address but with some directions to the groom's house from my friend to guide my way. surprisingly, i found the one with only one try. but, before i serang rumah tu, i did ask mak cik mak cik to ensure that i was on the right track. karang, makan nasi minyak orang lain pulak. i couldn't wait longer cz i had another kenduri to attend. one more time, no pic with the king and queen of the day. by 12, i decided to drive to my next destination without even having a chance to meet and congratulate the pengantin. tension je. pegi kenduri untuk makan je.

the third one was my cousin's wedding reception. i arrived on time. sempatla tengok pengantin walked slowly  down the hall to the dais. sempatla berangan, it was me. berangan jadi barbie. hehe. having a great time with my cousins from my mak's side. it had been a while for us to sit together and sembang merepek since most of them got married. pulak tu, ada yang tak bawak isteri. baru best sembang. cuba ada isteri kat sebelah. semua jadi pendiam dan sopan santun. kesian sungguh. mana tak. sekali kena jeling. boleh demam. we're once so closed together. well, we grew up together. mengaji quran together. went to the same school. we would spent every day enjoying outdoor games. kami ramai perempuan tapi xde perempuan. faham? hehe, semua ganas. now, everything has changed. well, that's life. one after another got married and having their own family. past had passed. i would engrave the memories in me and let the memory grow together with me.

no pics taken cz we were so busy sembang.

till then,
assalamualaikum.

assalamualaikum,

let's continue.

on the 24th &25 May, my cousin got married. our first male cousin from my mom side. we grew up together. ate from one plate. drank from one cup.sadly, we couldn't attend his akad nikah ceremony since the camp ended at 12 pm on the same day.prior to that, we decided to join them on the next day for wedding reception (bride's side) . the bride and groom wore dust pink so, to follow the wedding theme kononnya, i chose to wear almost similar colour baju kurung.   next time, i shouldn't. lighting on the dais was not so good. the weather was so horribly hot. muka macam goreng pisang. guna pulak kamera murah. bersinar-sinar cahaya. cahaya reflek.

raja sehari. gambar ribuan ni. mestila cantik kan. 

on the 29th May, off we traveled to Putrajaya to join the crowd in PICC. my fourth sister had finally graduated after 5 and a half years journey to hold a graduation scroll. sadly, no family pic taken by me due to crankiness problem. next time, avoid bringing small children below five to convocation crowd. don't be so kedekut to pay for studio portraiture because that might be the only way to capture your precious moment with your family members on your convocation day. my sis got us the most expensive package. i told her not to regret because she should have expected things like that would happen to us. maklumla. family tengah berkembang. jumlah kanak-kanak melebihi dewasa. haha.  it was like hell when they started to cry and fight among themselves. you would experience becoming the center of the crowd especially when the children started to cry, shout and roll on the floor. hehe. soon, I am sure everyone will experience it once we become a mother unless we take extra caution not to bring your little ones to the huge crowd. i personally think, better not to bring them. we didn't expect such things to happen because PICC is a fully air conditioned place. tapi, kalau dah ramai manusia. aircond pun tak rasa. 

i couldn't forget one thing. my nephew stuck in a lift.  there's no service problem with the lift. the main cause came for our over excited handsome boy. don't expect a five year old boy to listen to your words without holding their hands and make them listen to no matter what when you're standing among the large crowd. warn them from the beginning. meaning, before yous start the journey and keep reminding them throughout the journey. actually, we were waiting patiently for our turn to go upstairs. we stood right in front of the lift. once it stopped and the lids were widely opened. ape lagi. laju je shakir lari masuk. no one realized it except my second sister. tu pun, her brain stopped thinking for awhile before she could say out 'shakir masuk dalam lift tu'. at that time, the crowd in the lift were totally visible from our eyes. mak asked me to climb the stairs to go upstairs quickly. i was the youngest among the adults, meaning i was the strongest lah to climb the stairs. ape lagi. dengan jubah bagai. nasib baik ingat nak pakai skirt hitam yang stretchable kat dalam. selak jubah. panjat tangga selaju mungkin. haha. malu. i waited for a couple of minutes in front of the lift but xde pun lift berhenti. so, i decided to climb down the stairs to lodge a report. taraaang!! ada budak dok melalak. we were so lucky because there was an unknown guy who realized the presence of my nephew in the lift. maybe, shakir cried on top of his lungs kot bc that boy was and still a crying champ. 

what a relief! mak kept on lecturing us not to be lalai lagi next time. haha. sebab nila setitik, habis susu setempayan. semua kena dengar opah bebel. next convocation will be my fifth sis's which will be next year. kita tengok kenangan ape pulak terpahat di PICC..haha. 

one more thing, sesi petang tak best. the convocation ceremony ended at 5.30. by the time they finished, everyone was so busy heading to surau for Asar prayer. budak letih. nak beratur lagi untuk ambik gambar. didoakan supaya the next convocation will be morning session. baru fresh. budak-budak pun tak letih.

assalamualaikum,

here i am. this is me. hihi. someone requested me to blog, so here i am to do some report.

one week left till my version of school holiday ends. what differs from school system is one week extra for mid term holidays. alhamdulillah. i need sometime to put on some weight before the crazy days and nights greets me over again. i lost 3 kg last time during the one month practicum. i hope not to loose anymore weights during the second round practicum which will start in July coz i dare to say i could go crazy having to listen to lecture from mak, siblings and friends about my looks. they said i look thin and pale. nothing i could do coz i am a special human being. easily shedding off weight but hardly putting on weight. nanti dah kahwin baru gemuk kot kan. mengandung setiap tahun. bag xde can kurus. baru jadi gemuk macam doraemon. time tu orang akan tanya. eyh! asal tak kurus? gemuk memanjang. haha.

hehe. that's just an intro.

i finished my paper on Wednesday. we finished earlier than the rest (my batch mates). hooray! i loikes. jahat! that's me. i had to rush packing my things and straight driving home coz i would be having a camp on the next day. pheww. lucky, it started only after school. actually. i agreed to help my sister to voluntarily be one of the facilitators for kem solat. I changed my role from teacher to ustazah. semangat Hang Tuah. i had no rest. i usually took one or two days to recover from exam fever but due to over excited, i recovered faster than usual. my sister made me stay overnight with her at school to accompany her accompanying the children. their range of age were between 7 to 13 years old. they spoke Chinese very fluently. hehe. it was a program held by Panitia Agama from two Chinese schools. i enjoyed my role as ustazah for two days very much. it was a tough journey actually. some of them knew nothing about ablution and prayer. some of them didn't even know how to recite dua kalimah syahadah.  one and a half day was not enough to make sure they really learnt and grabbed  the steps and everything about wudhu and prayer. so sad. i got a pupils who was in year 5. he knew nothing about ablution and prayer. i asked my sister coz i dared not to bluntly put the blame on his parents' shoulders. but, that's the truth. my sister asked him and he said he never saw his mom prayed.

be a role model to your child. shame on you if you can prepare almost every thing for your children including the best education but not Islamic foundation in their life. It's never too late to start before you children get matured and started to make decision on their own.

it's time for pictures to take charge

the one wearing red baju kurung was just 7 but she looked matured.

bengang mak cik. this picture was dedicated to those who missed my presence in this blog. aceeh. i asked my faci mate to capture this picture. it turned out to be like this. not only this one. apelah!! i asked for the reasons. the answer was the subject was too big to compare to the small subject.

this was taken during break. we had to collect all the yellow rubber bands before they get to their seats cz there's one boy who' suffering for anti rubber band sindrom. haha. he could not even see and listen to the rubber band's tingling or else he would run far away from the place. ada jugak orang macam tu. haha. peliks. 

 tenganga ada. ayu ada. haha

ni baru kisah cuti sehari
