Words from my Heart...

Alhamdullilah, praise to Allah SWT, I am able to breath the air of Ramadhan again. It must be the holiest month in Islam. Its the 5th day of Ramadhan this year. I have been trying to be patient amongst all other good practises in this holy month. Blessings come.... so do Trials and Tribulations.... Simple trials for me... The other day, someone whom I have always tried to be patient with, talked to me and ordered me around as if I am her slave.... I was just seeking her help as she has the knowledge.... well this was at work.... She turned me down with some reason I cant accept.... I felt very sad...and wondered why she had to talk to me like that when I have always accommodated to her whims and fancies. I walked out of the office, telling myself ..."Husnul Zhon..." (think good)....maybe she was having a bad day.. still....I hope Allah gives her the blessings of Ramadhan.... Patience in a virtue....Allah sees and Allah listens..... "Ya Allah.....

I think the pictures describe it all. Reasonly, we visited Krabi for our June holidays annual trip... It was our first visit to Krabi and we were all so thrilled when the day came for us to fly on Thai Airways... It was the kids first real plane ride too and before the trip we have been watching lots of YouTUBE videos of Krabi. My take on Krabi: I love Krabi to the millions and Insya'Allah me and my dear family will visit this island again. We are Island fanatics. Partly because dear Hubby is a certified diver. He scuba dives. During the Krabi trip, I realised my kids loves the sea water. The way Abang and Adik play at the beach and sea even when the waves were high was really wonderful. Kids! This trip is memorable in a way that we didnt do our research, and went during the Monsoon season!! So the waters were choppy with High waves of more than 3 metres! and it was really dangerous going on speed boat rides on the Andaman Sea. Word of advise: DO NOT VISIT KRABI...

Abang came in my bedroom and asked me somethings..I cant remember what he was asking but I answered him. He said OK and he left the room. He walked out looking lonely. Ummi: Abang, Ummi Love you.... Abang: *kept walking* Ummi: I love you Abang.... Abang : *went in his room* Ummi: Abang, I love you.... Abang: He sat alone on his bed. I felt sad that he did not respond. Could it be I have been too strict with him with all the school work and stuff? **********************Next Day****************************   We were in the clinic. Waiting for our turn. Adik was not feeling well.   Abang: Ummi, I dreamt of you last night.   Ummi: *excited that Abang dreamt of me* Really? Why Me?   Abang: Because I miss you....   Some people heard our conversation and because to smile lovingly to Abang.....   I went Awwwww.....I miss you too Sayang. Hugged Abang and kissed him... *Alhamdullilah*   #Beautiful Memories.......

Looking forward...Insya'allah... June Holidays 2013 ! I told the kids last week, we will start packing on Wednesday...which is Today...... Since they heard that, they kept waiting for Wednesday to come and they kept reminding me that we will packo packo on Wednesday night yar... huhuhu..... Yeah we are excited..... Put school aside..I want my kids to enjoy this one!

  The steps leading to Maqam Habib Nuh   Amongst my favourite place to be at in Singapore is Masjid Salleh (Palmer Road) where you can find the maqam of Awliya Habib Nuh Alhabshi. Those who know me well would probably already know that I will visit the maqam, to make dua in presence of 'Wali Allah' Habib Nuh. I will ask that with the blessings of this holy being, that Allah swt grant my dua.   I often come to this place, either myself, with my kids or with my husband and at times, I will bring my mother.   Needless to say, my faith in being at this holy site grows stronger after a few of my dua was granted instantaneously and I could feel the blessings of  being at this place.   Last night, we made an impromptu visit to the Maqam as it was nearly Magrib and we were heading back from driving to NOL building near Alexander Road. Hubby suggested we go to Masjid Mydin for Magrib but I randomly suggested we head to the Maqam since our tru...

Ok so maybe its gonna be a monthly blogging entry from now on ... Just too busy to even log in to read my entries nowadays although there are some blogs i still read religiously.... February hasn't been easy as well. I am facing alot of challenge with Abang and his school as well as work. At work, I must constantly perform and at times , I haven't been able to do that, unlike my other team lead who is just superb. At home, I am guiding Abang on life as a primary school student. I am wondering if Abang has ADHD or does he just have a temper problem. He is the sweetest boy,  because I am his mother and I can see the times when he try to be good. But others don't see that, and I am still struggling with this issue. In just 2 months, I am already getting lots of calls from his teachers. But the good thing is he is improving slightly and I hope, he will soar.... Its not easy being me....I am learning to remove unnecessary emotions. I don't have time fo...

It’s probably whimsical to say that 2013 might be a pressurising year for me as January has just passed and the future might be too infinite to predict with vast possibilities is every second. January hasn’t been lenient but I am thankful. I don’t expect life to be a bed of roses, but I am afraid of challenges. When it comes, I must learn to tackle it in a composed manner. Work has been assiduous. I was preparing for a migration. It took some effort albeit being a small project. As I am typing this diary, I am glad that the migration went well despite some hiccups on the migration night. Home was more of a concern. No more night TVs for me and the kids as nights are mostly for homework and revision except Fridays. Weekends are spent on classes, sports and spelling. The education is Singapore is so competitive, I cant help pushing Abang as he is lagging behind in reading and writing. He, being so used to the helper now have to face independence in front of his face, while ...
