little warlord orhan ghazi

salaaam 'alaykum!

hehehehe... its been too long since my last entry kan?

sori farah, malas teramat!

skarang pn tgh sgt malas lg smnarnye..

btw, a lil updates here n there..

orhan is now a one n almost a half year old warrior~!! yeay alhamdulillah~~

a big boy he is now, we can most of the time actlly understand wat he's trying to say or convey

when he wants smthing, he'll say it out loud

n when he doesn't like smthing, he also has his own way of showing it to mama n babah, yes, out loud, too..

he loves icecream, or 'yeim' as he described it, slalu je pow icecream yg babah bli utk mama, it seems dat now i've a rival! n a hard-to-resist one too! hehe..

he also loves chocolate n cookies! n yes, he loves keropok! hehehe.. cucu to'ki kan..

he could survive on just keropok, tanak makan nasik n all dat, n pantang nampak balang keropok, or he'll go 'papok papok~!!!' even if tade keropok pn dalam tu..

haiih~ orhan, u're lucky to'ki slalu g tganu n bwk balik keropok.. kalu tak..

he lovees football, anak babah le katekan..

he can actlly sits in frnt of the laptop for hours watching football clips wif babah ( x buring ke derang nih?)

he even teman babah tgk bola, smtimes in the middle of the nite when other babies are supposed to be sleeping! ( hisy orhan nih...)

to the extent dat when he heard a commentator in the radio ( i repeat, the radio, wif no images of ppl playing football ) comment on football games, he'd put his hands in the air and said wif a big smile,

~DOOOAALLL~ ( means goal ye people )

haha.. i love seeing him so into smthing, indeed he's a big active boy now ^^

he can count up to four, hehe..

i tried teaching him 'five' but after four, he'll repeat three n four n three again n four again, xpela, skehatila orhan, hehe..

he'll count how many scoops mama will put in his 'dudu' ( susu ye ), takut mama catu eh..

n he'll go 'one', 'two', 'thee', 'phoor', 'thee', 'phoor', n so on.. ( ble nak five plak ni orhan?)

he loves pocoyo^^, calls him 'yo' or smtimes 'yoyo'

so we would search 4 pocoyo clips on youtube, 4 him to watch, n then he'll duduk diam, hehe..

slalu sgt tgk pocoyo, to the extent mama n babah pn dh terminat pocoyo^^

he loves 'meoww' too!^^

pantang nampak kucing, mesti nak dipeluknye..

we have dis really garang kucing at home, wc we call awang

he wears a full black coat with white pairs of stockings, sbijik cam panglima awang hitam widget kat sblah tu..

sangat garang i tell you.. pantang tgesel ngn kaki orang, habis kne cakar..

so ktrg sme took judicial notice not to be too close with him n to keep our distance whenever he's around.. ( mcm die pnye umah plak..)

tapi orhan.. isy isy.. dh kne cakar byk kali pn x insaf2 lagi.. msti nak kcau pacik awang tu..

oo yes he knows how to perform solat too.. hehe.. mama's so proud of you, young man^^

he will always tag around when we all sibuk amik wudhu' n bntang sejadah nak solat..

siap ade sejadah n songkok sndiri lagi, hehe..

so whenever ktrg siap2 nk solat, he'll take out his sejadah n wears his songkok n starts 'barr' (Allahuakbar) n do some movements dat resembles ruku', sujud, n all.. sgt comell^^

he will also tadah tangan when its time to bce doa n will say 'miin' (aamiin) even when the doa's not yet finished, hehe..

hmm so many to tell yet too little time to..

i'll update on the rest later^^

till then (wc might be months from now, knowing me),

bubbye~~ n wassalam^^

o yep, orhan is indeed a big boy now..

he graduated few weeks back n it made me feel so proud.. n oldd.. hehehe..

i haven't myself graduated! langkah bendul la orhan nih..

so now, allow me to present...

Prof. Dr. Orhan Ghazi b Hafizulfahmi!

*applause*

Upgrades n Updates

Salam 'alaykum warahmatullah~~

to anyone who's been following my blog ( which i dun think there's any wif the exception of my faithful sweetie, hehe..)( thanx sayang, 4 ur never-ending support means soo much to me ), have u guys noticed a slight difference in my blog?

huhu it took me one whole nite to figure out how to make changes here n there,

its not yet satisfying, still there's laccunae here n there, tp i'll improve, insyaAllah

im becoming more n more interested in blogging, somehow, hehe..
so lookout 4 more n more upgrades ( me not rlly gud in tech-oriented stuffs, but i'll give it my best shot! )

oh ye.. proviso ; if i've adequate time n energy to, hehe.. ( real life comes 1st, virtual 2nd, kan? hehe.. )

em nothing rlly interesting to share.

last weekend me n orhan followed abah to his friendly game with the RSC ppl (Royal Selangor Club)

the place was like.. emm.. scary?

ppl were drinking here n there like there's nothing wrong with it

they even put up a BIG tiger beer banner in front of the cafe ( or the bar perhaps? )
i had once heard abt the 'freemason'ry elements of the RSC tp Allahu a'lam, its better to not make any presumption

hurm, but if its true, it wud not be rlly shocking, considering how scary dat place is..

btw, we blah as soon as we got the chance to! ( at last, alhamdulillah )

i hope nxt tym they're going to organize any friendly matches, it wud not be held at RSC again
n if they do, i've to think abt a hundred times, to go or not to go

well anyway, i did snap a few pics of orhan and abah during the match n am glad to show em off 'ere, hahaha

warm-ups!

orhan pn warm up gak, hehe

coach, ble orhan pnye turn nk masuk ni?

goal~ yayy~~

penatla mama~~

O Allah, The Owner of all Love and Compassion, The Most Compassionate,

bless our love with Your Everlasting Love, may our marriage be a relationship that binds us to each other through all the tests and trials of this life, through hardship and ease,

and may this partnership of ours be always fresh n pure,

a partnership of two people, working as one unit, striving for Jannah, longing to secure a place in Your Shade.

O The Most Merciful, bless our love, our marriage, n do protect us from falling prey to the shaytan's treacherous whispers who will always be eager to put enmity between husbands and wives.

missing u

truly, deeply n madly

till nxt entry

sunshines of my life v(^^)v

A Message of Peace

as always, Assalamu'alaykum warahmatullah~
may His blessings be with us, always~

teeheehee.. i seem 2 have a lot of tym nowadays, don't i?
well i surely do! v(^^)v
(( Praise be to Allah The Most Compassionate, The Bestower n The Provider of all needs, 4 the leisure n 4 each n evry moment ))
our tutorial classes have not yet started, so dat's y i seem to be having so much of a free time, hehe..
tp i assure u, once the tutorials have started, it'll be hectic im not even sure i have the time (or even the energy!) to keep my (hehe still humble) blog updated
so havta make use of dis still-not-really-bz period of time, hehe v(^^)v

ehehe actually there's smthg which i've been looking 4ward 2 share with all..

n its the yusuf islam's brand new albums!

we bought one during e pc fair held in uia few days back n anor one at rock corner in Ou (while serching 4 msia v manU tickets) n i've been all xcited ever since to tell evryone how cool n unique n satisfying (to the ear, n to the heart most importantly!) they are!

we even dun mind spending about rm74.++ 4 those albums ( considering how stingy i can get if its not smthing really necessary ) bcoz they actually proved dat they're worth it ^o^



dis is e first one wc we bought during e pc fair.
sgt cute kan cover album ni?
n e songs inside are even cuter! hehe


i love it, cptn pn loves it, n orhan looovees it, wc matters most sbb e original plan was 2 buy dis 4 orhan pn, hehe.. ( eventho turns out yg mama n abah y memekak dlm kete nyanyi lagu2 yg kiut nih, hehe.. )


n e best part is, evrytime ktorg nyanyi, orhan mesti stamps his feet n moves right n left, going up n down ( wc shows how he loves our sweet voices, haha.. )(okela pmbetulan, wc shows dat he lovees e song dat he has to do e 'move it move it' dance from madagascar, hehehe.. oh ya.. wc we think is soooo cute! ^^ )


my favourite was the 'shaytan' song, a very cute song with a little bit of a 'gothic' (kot?) touch, hehe.. ( well i suppose shaytans are gothic kan?)
it kinda reminds me of children's halloween movies, with e background being a distant eerie laughter ( of the shaytan la kot ), haha tp very very interesting^o^


n i love e 'thala'al badru 'alaina' song too.. n e fact dat the music was modified to resemble a smwhat-african-tribal style is very very cool n unique n sweet to the ear (n e heart of course), hehe


n e most interesting part is dat dis album comprises n features some of my favourite munsyeeds!
dawud wharnsby ali ( whose song 'the veil' inspired me so much! ) n zain bhikha ( whose sweet n soft voice has the ability to touch the heart of evry person dat listens! )


all in all, dis is among the many of yusuf islam's efforts to spread the sacred message of Islam, in a very cool n fun manner - oh yes the lyrics are beautiful -especially the song by zain bhikha n yusuf himself - heart of a muslim- do listen to these songs ya? (^^,)


all these r the reasons y dis album is a must-have! ( hehe me leh jd promoter kan? ;p )

take a look at dat van of his. ain't dat cool?
the songs are beautiful~
The lyrics are even more beautiful!
the album was dubbed cat steven's comeback, tp with a new image, where he re-emerged with a new humility, gentleness, and grace in his countenance, n a new wisdom and radiance in his words^^
i especially love the 'roadsinger' song~ the lyrics are deep n inspiring, his voice especially is breathtaking + heart-melting, and the music is undoubtedly captivating ( yes dearest~ eventho i dunno much about those 'plucking' n 'scrumming' of the guitar etc etc, tp i still know dat its good, hehe ) ^^

dis album pn is a must-have! hehe v(^^)v

okay, im done promoting, bear wif me ya, hehe

‘And invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching.’ - An-nahl:125 -

till next tyme, wassalam ^^

p/s : last sat we went to merrs zulpadli & edham's anniversary dinner! it was fun! these r some of e pics that we manage to snap thruout e nite ^o^

An Extraordinary Miracle

Assalamu'alaykum warahmatullah ^^

its been a few days since i updated my still-full-of-deficiencies blog
went thru a hectic week back there, orhan demam n its heartbreaking to see him cry alll thru e nite w/out being able to do anything to make him feel better~
we did actually bg orhan makan ubat n letak kain basah atas dahi utk control temp n both of us even tak tdo e whole nite sbb takut orhan pnye temp rise..
tp still he wud occassionally wake up n cry..
his cry was almost like he's telling us smthing we cudn't understand.. n its really really sedih..
im pretty sure yg all mothers wud experience e same..
tp i believe even how experienced a mother is, seeing her little sunshine suffers would still, each n evrytime, break their hearts, kan kan?
tapi sekarang alhamdulillah dah ok~! v(^^)v
our little warlord is back in action! hehe..

so to share smthing dat we learn (we did know abt dis -chey poyo jek, tau la skit2- but human are inclined to forget, due to our imperfectness, which is y the word insaan itself taken from e root word nasiya, which means to forget)

so dat incident works as smwhat a reminder 4 us to ponder upon the concept of sickness n health in Islam^^

upon him being all healthy n bubbly again, we realised dat health is a very amazing state, an extraordinary miracle!

it reminds us dat we personally have nothing at all, n all these while there is absolutely SOMEONE who is guarding and taking care of us every single moment we exist and live!

Health is a blessing, sickness is an examination. It is necessary to praise Allah 4 the blessings, and to show endurance during examinations..

so i believe dat dis is part of the tests dat He had predestined 4 us, to remind us, n to tell us dat maybe, juz maybe dat we're being too lagha nowadays?

Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because on the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness.
Surah 42 Verse 30

((O The Most Merciful please guide us to the right path, the path of the mu'mineen, and do protect us from being harmed by our own foolishness and ignorance.~))

tapi being tested also means to be loved n guided by Him! teringat lagu inteam duet nazrey raihan~

Ujian adalah tarbiah dari Allah,

apakah kita akan sama ataupun sebaliknya,

kesenangan yg datang selepas kesusahan,

semuanya adalah nikmat dari Tuhan..

so, how to sum things up? surely no more than Alhamdulillah~ ^o^

oh ya b4 dat nk share some of the many do'aas dat the Prophet used to read when facing difficult situation~

The Prophet used to say, "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazani wal-`ajzi wal-kasali wal-bukhli wal-jubni wad ala`il-daini wa ghalabatil-rijal" (O Allah! I seek refuge in You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt, and from being overcome by men) (Al-Bukhari).

The Prophet used to invoke Allah at times of difficulty, saying, "La ilaha illal-lahu al-`azim, al-halim, la ilaha illal-lahu rabbu-s-samawati wal-ard wa rabbu-l-`arsh il-`azim" (There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Tolerant; there is no god but Allah, Lord of the magnificent throne; there is no god but Allah, Lord of the heaven and the earth, Lord of the edifying throne) (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Whenever the Prophet faced a difficulty, he would say, "Ya hayyu ya qayyumu bi rahmatika astaghithu" (O the Ever-Living One, the Self-Subsisting Source of all beings, I invoke Your help) (At-Tirmidhi).

The Prophet said, "The supplication of a person in difficulty is to say: Allahumma rahmatak arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata `aynin, wa aslih li sha'ni kullahu" (O Allah! I seek Your mercy, so don't abandon me to my own devices even for an instant; straighten out all my tangled affairs for me) (Abu Dawud).

The Prophet said to Asma´ bint `Umays, "Shall I teach you some words to say at times of difficulty? [Say:] Allahu rabbi la ushriku bihi shay'an" (Allah is my Lord with Whom I associate nothing) (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

love

wassalam

--some of orhan pics after he gets all healthy alhamdulillahv(^^)v--

we're happy when he's happy!


in the hot burning sun! harap2 x dmam lg..

oo.. dh sehat nk jalan sorang2 eh..

that-kind-of-look

Salamullah alaykum~

herrmm.. am not really happy 2day..

before maghrib juz now me n cptain went to the pasar malam,

the one just outside uia's back entrance.

saje je nak stroll around sambil2 looking for smthing yummy

its been kinda long since ktorang last jalan2 kat situ

o yerp we didn't bring our little warlord along bcoz cptain picked me up after class juz after he got back from work, plus we naik motor.. hehe

cptain, as always, held my hand in his n smtimes he even rested his hand on my shoulder

i dun think there's anything wrong wif dat tp i noticed dat it caused uneasiness to the crowd

they were looking at us wif 'dat-kinda-look', n started whispering among themselves n wat had really triggered my anger was dat i heard one of them saying smthing like 'dahla pkai tudung labuh' or smthing like dat..

Am really really angry at dat point of time to the extend dat i was thinking to turn around n say 'hey, agak2la nk ngumpat pn jgnla kuat sgt, btw he's my husbandla, husnu zann la skit,~ ' or even a little backside kick? (kan action speaks louder than words?)( heehee itu tadi ye..)

luckily i didn't! hehe.. me tanak lose to my no-point-being-angry anger! ^^

tapi i still wonder..

i wonder if it's us holding hands?

well i dun think dat wud be a problem bcoz we're married..

i wonder if it's me not wearing my rings to tell e world dat we're tied with the sacred knot of marriage?

hermm dat cudn't be it.. says who dat rings are signs of marriage?

i've lotsa frens who wear rings n yet are singles

n i myself dun wear my wedding rings.. n am alhamdulillah happily married~

do correct me if im wrong, but i thot dat the tradition of trading rings is borrowed from other societies, and Muslims are told not to imitate non-Muslims in such traditions..

one may argue dat there's nothing wrong in adopting a tradition dat is not in contravention with the syari'ah, but still.. one cudn't rely or base an argument upon it kan? bkn compulsory pn..

so ntahla.. Allahu a'lam. Only The Most Knowledgable knows best~

emm hehe do 4give me ya.. i was intending to share my thought on dat matter, professionally, and 'cool'ly, tp 'ter'emotional pulak, hehe..

kan to err is human, ( i noe am not supposed to use dat s n xcuse to keep doing it, tp do take it easy on me dis tyme ya..)

oh ya, nak share dis one hadith yg we all slalu gune tym skolah.. "la taghdhab", means "do not get angry", a simple yet not-so-easily-practised message, specially dedicated to me myself n those who occassionally fell victim to his or her own temper..

Abû Hurayrah relates that a man said to the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Counsel me.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Do not get angry.” The man repeated his request many times, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) kept saying: “Do not get angry.”

[ Sahîh al-Bukhârî ]

so what to do when smone shot us dat-kinda-look n we're like.. okayy.. ini sudah lebeyh...?

Well.. The Prophet did provide us with guidance on anger management..

We should seek refuge with Allah when we become angry. Two men began hurling insults at one another in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him), each one insulting the other with such anger that his face had turned red. Th e Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I know a word that if one were to say it, what stresses him would go away. If he would but say: ‘I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the Accursed'.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim ]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) advised us not to speak when we are angry. He said: “If one of you gets angry, he should be quiet.” [ Musnad Ahmad ]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave us other practical advice. He said: “If one of you gets angry and he is standing, then he should sit down until his anger subsides. If it does not, then he should lie down.” [ Sunan Abî Dâwûd ]

He also said: “Anger is from Satan, and Satan was created from fire. Fire is but extinguished by water, so if one of you gets angry, he should perform wudû'.” [ Sûnan Abî Dâwûd and Musnad Ahmad ]

so luckily i kept quiet tadi! ;p (hehee nak jgk..) (eyes rolling - yelah dijah, yelah..)

am now not angry anymore^^

Alhamdulillah~~~ ^o^

hehe my dearest told me dat i shud look at it on the bright side of the pic, it can be dat they haven't any idea dat we're married considering how young n bubbly we look, n i do think he's righto! haha..

so remember darlings~

'laa taghdhaab'~~

bcoz the Prophet defines 'a strong man' as a man who is able to hold on to himself when he gets angry, n not those who r physically strong dat he can take another man down~

p/s:- me wants to be strong too! (more rolling eyes - baiklah dijah~~)

hehe InsyaAllah~ may Allah always be in our hearts^^

love love

till next time

thank you 4 ur time n wassalam.

orhan has his own special way to cool mama down when she gets all red, hehehe~~

A messy start

Assalamualaykum warahmatullah~

emm hehe as the title suggests, today is the start of our new semester^o^

Alhamdulillah am given yet another opportunity to participate in the pursuit of 'ilm.
i prefer using the word 'ilm as i remember reading about a scholar who has justifiably pointed out, dat 'ilm has a much wider meaning than its synonym in English!
'Knowledge' falls short of expressing all the aspects of 'ilm.
Knowledge simply means information about something, while 'ilm is an all-embracing term covering theory, ACTION and education.
juz dis morning Ust Abdallahi reminded us dat even with dis little knowledge we had, practising it, and bringing it into action is A MUST!
and the fact dat it being 'little' is no xcuse 4 us not to put it into practice bcoz in the Hereafter we'll be asked about wat actually did we do with the knowledge dat He has bestowed upon us, n we wudn't want to not be able 2 answer dat, wud we?

so Alhamdulillah, being able to remain on the path of 'ilm is truly wonderful!(^^)/
glory be to Allah, The Owner of all 'ilm, The Most Knowledgable..

"To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He knows all): no date-fruit comes out of its sheath nor does a female conceive (within her womb) nor bring forth (young) but by His Knowledge. The Day that (Allah) will propound to them the (question) "Where are the partners (ye attributed) to Me?" They will say "We do assure thee not one of us can bear witness!" 41 : 57

so how's it like, going to class after a long brain-in-rest-mode holiday?
hoho.. messy? yerp.. i guess the 3 months' vacation has left me absent-minded and scattered-brained.
i can actually forgot to bring my slip wif me eventho i purposely left it on my table last nite so i won't be forgetting about it..
so consequently am not aware of e location of my class..
which had caused me to be slightly (just slightly eh? ;p) late to class..
being gabra n all, i even got in the wrong class! (malu jek, trmasuk klas bdak 2nd year, me dun deserve to be a 4th year student, huhu.. )
fuuhh~ wat a way 2 start my 1st day..
well.. what i can conclude from dat is, well, emm.. to err is human, hehe..
Only Allah remains the Most Omnipotent, we human can only plan (^^o)
Still, i do honestly believe dat a bad start doesn't mean u can't win the race kan, hehe
Moreover, Allah knows wat's best 4 us n our duty is to believe in dat, to believe in His Qada' n Qadar, 4 He doesn't create anything but 4 a purpose;)

well, all in all, its been a great day^^, being able to reunite wif my friends from all over e world, being able to listen again to the wisdom words of the lecturers, being able to savour my hungry tummy wif all those yummy (yet murah) delicacies..

and.. and.. and.. on the top of it, my dearest bought me a cornetto 'show me ur love' iceream on his way home!!
its a sweet surprise n it is xclusively 4 me (yay~~ eh silap, alhamdulillah~ hehe)
i loooove icecreams~~~~
thank you so much dearest!!!
only Allah knows how i love u sooo much n may our love be strengthened n guided by His eternal love!!
these little little things are to me very thoughtful, n it keeps me falling 4 u again n again, hehe*^^*
thank you love, n thank you Allah, the Owner of all the Love and Compassions..

best wishes n wassalam
till next time^o^
