Salam Maal Hijrah 1437

May all our deeds be accepted and may we be granted with more blessings in the new year.

Welcome back, greetings to myself.

If you've been following my instagram, you would know that I have recently been traveling to Zurich and Paris with my sister, last month, September 2015.

I've also gone to umrah in March 2015.

And gone to Japan last December 2014.

Wow, and I wonder whats stopping me from blogging.

Got soooo much to tell.

Guess it's the laziness to be blamed.

Am so guilty lah.

Hence will try to update one by one.

Hopefully, at least I made some effort, today.

But first, It's Mom's birthday last weekend! 11 October 2015.

Happy Birthday to my Mother.
The Nekya (grandma) to my children.
May you be granted with great health and blessed by Allah always. Aamiiiin..

Thank you Fish & Co. for the hospitality and top notch service.
You have been our favourite diner for family gatherings over the years.
Good ambiance, great food. Keep it up.

Nenek punya bday, bebudak yg sonok dapat balloon and makan kat luar mcm kedai tu bapak ko yg punya.
Sorry to all visitors of Fish & Co. Paadigm mall on that night, if the kids screaming around disturbed you.  We are truly sorry.
Thanks to all Fish & Co, staffs for catering to our requests every 2 minutes.
My mom was very happy dining there tonight. Just wish that u'd still serve tomato juice. Thats no longer in your menu.

Supermom

Mothers are like Google.
We have to know it all.

Happy Mothers Day to all my beautiful readers.
May we transform to be a better mom.
Have higher agility to walk on legos
And emerged gracefully with minimal fiery-dragon trait.
Bwahahaha..

Anyway, I got this for my mom, a pandora bracelet.
Just something small to let her know that she's always there inside my heart.
Everyday, all the time.

She may not get the perfect mom in the whole universe title, but she is perfect to me and my little world.
May Allah bless her always.

P/S: Hubby, in case u're reading this, yeah, I want one too.. thanks for asking! *wink

Happy Mommy's Day To All

Woke up this morning to greeting from my grandmother who lives in Kuantan, Pahang.
She was the one who first wished me and my mom Happy Mother's Day.
Total embarrassment to both of us who woke up late today.
Bwahahaha..
But as a colleague once said, grandmas are the ultimate supermoms as they took care of lots of moms through out the years - their daughters and granddaughters.
Well said.

Mom cooked nasi ayam.
Sister went and bought the artificial orchids as present to mom.
And hubby gone to see miki.

Miki who?
Well, it's my favourite cheese cake shop, of course.
Located in front of Basil Restaurant at Bangsar Village 1.

Thanks Nini for recommending this to me!

To my grandma - TokNah, to my mom - Mak, to my readers that are also a mom, and to all the moms in the world, WE ROCK!
May Allah blessed our mommies, us and our children, at all times.

Hijri 1433

Happy New Hijri Year 1433 to all muslim around the world.

Wordless Wednesday : Happy 8th Anniversary!

Love you lots, hunn!!

Two celebrations at one time

Last Saturday we attended the double celebrations hosted by my sister in law, for both her daughters.

First up was the akikah for her newborn baby Fatini.

With the decorative swing beautifully done in the centre of the living room.

 

Which then my kids ended up playing as soon as baby Fatini was out.

Phewwww.. thank god.

I can't imagine baby Fatini flying across the hall in this.

I think they're pretty amazed at the never-seen-before pink swing.

Next, followed by the big sista, Fatihah's 5th Birthday bash.

My boys excitedly waiting to blow them candles out.

Check out the beautiful princess cake decoration.
Can you guess the taste?

Definitely the most popular of the year, red velvet.
Yeah, only this much was left after a few seconds!

Happy Birthday Fatihah!
Maklong wish you all the health and joy in the world.

Welcome to the family, Fatini!
Maklong wish you happy botakkan rambut soon ;)

Thank you AYAH !!

We had an eventful weekend.
Weddings and akikah and birthday party invitations.
But no matter how tired we were, every moment counts and the most important thing is that we had loads of fun.
I'll blog about them all tomorrow, coz now, it's daddy's time!

Amin made this last night.

With detail plans for Batman logo on the front.
And Green Lantern on the inside.

The present, is this.

Hell no, not the watches!
But the 3-tier watch stand.. hahaha.
Yeah, he has been keeping them all scattered inside the drawer.
So, I thought it'll be pretty neat to give him this.

Now that's been taken care of, not to forget about the greatest man in my life, my dearest Ayah.

He's such a sweet man.
With sweet tooth!
So, it was easy to please.

Specially made chocolate with less sugar and baked almond with bluberry fillings!
Ohhhhhhh.. I know!!
Sounds heavenly, isn't it?
Yup, you too can get it custom made from Chenie Chocolate.


Happy Father's Day to all fathers around the world !

To Mommy

Happy Mommy Day, to all the mothers around the globe.
Although, I do believe that we deserve at least a day in every month as 'mommy-day'.. LOL

Our sacrifice

..for the recent Eid ul-Adha.

Date : 17th November 2010
Venue : Kampung Tanjung Batu, Nenasi Pekan Pahang
Event : Eid ul-Adha 1431 Hijri
It's another huge religious holiday celebration for muslim all around the world, after the Eid ul-Fitr.
Eid ul-Adha marks the end of hajj season, the annual muslim pilgrimage to mecca.
The history behind this day is to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim a.s to sacrifice his son Prophet Ibrahim a.s as an act of obedience to Allah, before Allah intervened to provide him with a ram (male sheep) to sacrifice instead.

Each sacrificed meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others.
The family (sacrificing it) retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors, and the other third is given to the poor & needy.

Not many muslim knows this but the merit (pahala) of sacrifice (qurban) is that for each hair-fur on the animal, and for every drop of blood shed by it, shall cleanse each sin (dosa) of the muslim.

Islam is very tolerant in costing aspect as it is set that each sacrificed animal must be shared by seven people.
If we take for example in my case, the cow was RM 2300, divide by 7, resulting in RM328 each muslim.
And that is why we are encourage to sacrifice every year because it only takes a Ringgit a day to save up for one seventh of the cow cost.

I'll spare all the gory pictures of the slaughter, as it is not meant for the faint-hearted.

So, it'll be just the family piccies.

We opt for black and white theme.
But to be honest, it was actually a last minute decision as I flipped through the kids wardrobe and found several Thoub, a single piece dress that covers the whole body, that were given to us by relatives recently performing umrah.
And mine was bought by my mom during her recent umrah trip.
So, wallaaaa !! Check out our Arabian look !

Well, just me, and the kids anyways.. haha..

Others were pretty much sticking to the Malaysian style!

Bravo Malaysia !

Yehaaaa!!
Malaysia just won the Suzuki Cup AFF soccer championship!
And it has been declared that Friday 31st December as a national holiday!

Icy Mall

This is by far the most beautiful centre court design I have ever seen!



Cracked-uneven-stoned path gives the perfect English country look to 1utama.



The red flowers look spectacular with white snowy background concept.



The main décor is an ice skating ring in the centre, surrounded by shop houses, which here we have the Memory Lane, Famous Amos, Loccitane, and Cold Storage selling frozen meat, ice cream and crackers.
Oh wait, no, that is NOT a real ice skating ring.
It's just tiles.
Yup, it does look real though.. hehe..


There's a bridge right in the centre linking both sides, perfect for picture posing especially with the trees and flowers around it!



Definitely flower overload, as even the top part of the stall is filled with red flowers too.







There's only one shop house that has a real second floor, whereby you can climb up the stairs and peek inside. Wow, they must have made the base for this one much stronger than the rest.



Check out the cute windows décor, and also the back of the lot! Looks sooo real !







Let me know which mall do you think has the best centre court design ever.
It'll be great to take the kids out this weekend!
