Puasa sunat hari Arafah, 9 Zulhijjah

Jom puasa sunat hari Arafah esok, Khamis 9 Zulhijjah bagi orang2 yang tak buat haji tahun ni. Semoga amalan diterima & mendapat keampunan dari Allah SWT, amin.

Ketika Rasulullah SAW ditanya

tentang puasa di hari Arafah,

maka baginda bersabda:

"Ia Dapat Menghapuskan Dosa

 Setahun Yang Lalu Dan

Setahun Yang Akan Datang"

Hadith Riwayat Imam Muslim

Happy Summer Hols

Salam Ramadhan to all. Hope it's not too late to wish even we are approaching towards the end of this barakah month... hmm sigh, time flies. May Allah pardons our sin and grants us with HIS countless blessing, ameen.

Alhamdulillah, Akid & I have the opportunity to go back to Malaysia during the fasting month and insyallah will be celebrating Eid, here. Hubby will join us for Eid, later.

To all, Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin.

Budak yang happy nak bercuti panjang, balik kampung...

We flew back to Malaysia via Oman Air & transit for a while at Muscat airport.

However, most of the school children in Doha had to go through the final Exam before going for a long summer break. Alhamdulillah, Akid had made an impressive progress in his class and received the Most Outstanding Progress award from the school.

Bravo dear and keep it up :)

Antara yang dirindui tentang Malaysia adalah keindahan dan kehijauan alamnya, pulau, pantai, jeram dengan deru air terjun, kicau unggas dan pemandangan bukit bukau yang sejuk mata memandang. Subhanallah. 

Akid bersama adik2 sepupu di Air Terjun Sungai Gabai, dekat saja dengan KL / Kajang. Sangat convenient untuk beriadah dan beristirehat bersama keluarga di hujung minggu. Kitaorang pergi untuk bersarapan pagi di sana, sekali sekala tukar angin :)

Air jeram yang sejuk!!

Selamat Hari Lahir, suami.

~12th June~

Happy Birthday to my other half, a man whom is so dear to my heart, my best friend and my soul mate. 

I always pray for his happiness in this world and in hereafter. May Allah bless him with countless blessings. Aameen... 

I realize that I didn't write much about my husband in this blog before. To somebody who knows my hubby well, he is known as a gentle and kindhearted person who will easily forgive others and forget about it. Perlu ker ni puji suami sendiri hahah... ^__^. That's what I really think of him. He taught me, among so many other things, the true meaning of forgiveness and to let go of the past. All I can say, I'm blessed to share my life with him...  

Btw, he hardly read my blog ;

Takziah :(

Pics from Al-Jazeera.com

(Villagio mall on fire: Mon - 28 May 2012).
It was reported that at least 19 people had been killed in the incident. Among those were 13 children whom trapped in a nursery, 4 female teachers and 2 firefighters. The nursery (Gympanzee), where most of the children were (mostly expatriates children of different nationalities), was on the first floor with difficult access. - Source: Al-Jazeera.

Shocking news of yesterday's mall blaze had caused injury & fatality to innocent people including the helpless kindy children. It's so heartbreaking to hear this and I extend my deepest condolence to the victims' families.

Oh my! Poor innocent kids :'( May this be a lesson learnt to the authorities in-charge for not compromising safety aspects in the building designs!! It should be a regular and strict QA/QC to ensure all the safety alarms, fire protection systems are working and safety procedures for hazard (fire exit, trained mall officers, etc) are clearly outlined and strictly followed. I pray such case won't happen again in the future. 

Below are our back-then pics in Villagio mall taken via instagram (year 2011). It was such a beautiful mall, a popular hang-out spot among the locals and expatriates...

Pindah rumah

After being here for almost 8 months, we finally moved out from the serviced apartment for which was planned as a temporary stay, to a new home. This new home is relatively smaller unit but cozy and just nice for our small family. I love this apartment, its layout, the provided furniture & stuffs, its hidden balcony, the ground level parking spaces (compared to previous basement parking) and its efficient maintenance support. 

Well, it was not easy to find a vacant fully furnished apartment within our specific budget in this specific location with quite spacious layout (for apartment standard) and reasonably good furniture provided (almost new). The reasonable ones were mostly fully occupied. After countless surveys, alhamdulillah, this one practically meets our expectation. It's just 5 mins drive to hubby's office and 10 mins drive to my son's school as well as to the airport. Furthermore, it feels considerably cool being inside the apartment even during this hot summer. Mode: happy :)  Well, no idea when it comes to winter though...  

Opps, no mover hired like the above pic. Below pic was the real one :p
