31st July 2008 Happy Birthday Darling ..........

I still want to wish my dearest hubby a very happy 4*th birthday today, even thou' I knew that he's not the type who likes to celebrate birthdays...that is his stand since I got married to him 22 years ago... for my hubby, every single day is a birthday, its not that just one day in a year we should celebrate... but every day..... every moment....every second..... should remind us back to our Great Creator, Allah SWT......and every second that ticks, it will brings us nearer and nearer to our destiny...why we were created and why we are here in this world....

Di atas Jabal Rahmah, di Padang Arafah, tempat pertemuan semula Adam dan Hawa
selepas terkeluar dari Syurga....

That's why today, I actually forgot about it until i came back late in the evening from work... my youngest daughter, Hana said to me... "Ummi ... hari ni kan hari jadi Abi... ummi tak ingat ke? "
hehehe.yes..I was totally forgot about it... (hurm... so many things on my mind lately...) Ni belum lagi jadi pemimpin negara...!!! ... baru sahaja jadi TPM merangkap Menteri Kewangan merangkap Menteri Kebajikan merangkap Menteri Dalam negeri merangkap Menteri Pendidikan ...etc etc.. kat rumahtangga !!!

So, no cakes no etc.... Just a very ........ KISS to my darling......

I Love You Very Much for the Sake of Allah ...Thanks for Everything.....

Khas untuk mu Sayang
CINTA BUKAN DI MATA

Akan tiba masanya
Bila isteri "senang' di hati tapi "kurang" di mata
Maklumlah sudah berderet manusia ber"bin" dan ber"binti"kan diri
kehamilan mengikis keterampilan badan
proses melahirkan mengurangkan
darjah keanggunan
bukan sedikit urat-urat seni yang putus saat bersalin
Usia meningkat, Kecantikan tergugat

Dulu yang kita lihat mulus,
kini beransur pupus
Betis, tidak lagi bunting padi
Pipi, bukan lagi pauh dilayang
Apakah dengan itu akan berkurang CINTA kita?
Cinta di mata, bertapak di "body"
tapi jika cinta tetap kekal lagi bertambah
ertinya cinta kita di hati, berpasak di budi
Itulah CINTA SEJATI

1985.....This is the first picture of my hubby that I got from him!!
Still keep it in my purse until now....!
(shhh!...masa tu I suka tgk scenery pokok kat belakang yg dah gugur semua daun semasa Fall...
bukannya suka tengok orangnya..! buat-buat jual mahal...konon...hehehe)

now...dah semakin matang lah kan... not a single white hair on his head!!!
Jealous...jealous...!! tetapi dahi dah semakin "jendul"!!

D - Pause to Reflect

Sudah lama hendak menulis n3 ini berkenaan salah seorang blogger yang kukenali melalui alam maya ini. Saya mengenali beliau apabila bloghop dari salah satu blog rakan blogger juga... tidak ingat hop dari blog siapa...??? tried to remember it...tapi sampai sekarang tak ingat... samada dari blog Prof MKI atau dari blog zlaa....
Thru her blog I only knew her as Mrs D. Her words flows very nicely and fluently and when I read her entries in her blog, I felt as if I was there and then, in the place and time, and I can imagined and felt all the feelings... very happy to know she was very happy with her family somewhere in the foreign land...
Then, come the news... every time I read her entries my eyes were filled with tears, by the time I finished reading it, I was sobbing my heart out. Every morning I would opened and read her blog, waiting for a new entries about the progress...really prayed everything will turn out fine and good...
End of last year, my husband and I went to perform our Hajj, and in one of my prayers in front of the Holy Kaabah in Mesjidil Haram, I prayed for her and her family.... May Allah bestows upon her and her family the best of health, May Allah gives her the strength to face whatever outcome may be, Ya ALlah, Allah is the Greatest...He knows and plans what is the best for us...even though sometimes, at the moment, we think life is so cruel, goes against our will....
but Allah knows best... we can only plan, but Allah is the best Planner... Allah loves her dearest more ........
Now, thru her entries I see her grows stronger and more submissive to God, she tries her best for her wonderfull four...I myself don't know whether I can stand or act like her if I was in her shoes...but she is such a lucky person, she has a very wonderfull friends and families around her... otherwise she won't survive till this moment. But I believe that she herself has a strong will and Iman and not forgetting with the help of Allah SWT... dengan Rahmah dan Kasih sayang Allah SWT.... in her own words, "Yet again, I have been reminded and blessed with His clear affection: He keeps us all in His guidance and leads us to our destination."

Then last month when I knew that she is coming back for a summer holiday, and to be with her eldest sister who was dignosed with ................. (not sure the exact term) and her sister also lives nearby in ShahAlam, I contacted her and requested her to stop by my house if she happen to be around here during her holiday...

On 23rd June 2008, I got a message from her, "Salam kak Azzah, saya d Shah Alam hari ni. Petang ni akak free?" I was so excited and at the same time actually felt nervous...ialah...selama ini hanya berkomunikasi melalui blog sahaja...and the most important thing I really wanted to see her wonderfull four, her twin sons, abang H and abang Z, princess D, little D. So, from the office I called my maid to cook something, I said there will be a special guests coming ...
so, later that evening ...I welcomed Mrs D and her wonderfull four to my house ....
the feeling was soooooo undescribable...actually I felt like crying, but hold it on (well..I'm not going to cry in front of the kids...hehehe) ....
In herself I saw the strength..and the survivor...like she wrote in one of her entries, "once a survivor, always a survivor! Life is indeed a journey - a process, and not an end-product. "

Little D suka sangat makan spaggetti tu sampai tambah beberapa kali..!

D and her wonderfull four....

do'a

"Ya Allah, Aku pohon kepada Mu keampunan dan keselamatan dalam urusan agamaku, duniaku, keluargaku dan hartaku. Ya Allah, lindungilah daku dari segala yang memalukanku dan tenteramkanlah diriku daripada rasa takut. "

"Ya Allah, peliharalah diriku dari hadapan dan belakangku, dari kanan dan kiriku serta atasku. Aku berlindung dengan keagungan-Mu daripada ancaman yang datang dari arah bawahku."

"Ya Allah, aku berlindung denganMu daripada keras hati, kelalaian, kehinaan dan kemiskinan. Aku juga berlindung dengan-Mu daripada kekufuran, kefasiqan, perpecahan, cinta kepada kemasyuran dan riya'. Aku juga berlindung dengan Mu daripada tuli, bisu, penyakit kusta dan segala penyakit yang buruk"

Selawat dan salam ke atas Junjungan yang Mulia, Nabi Muhammad saw dan ke atas seluruh keluarga dan para sahabat baginda.

Amin.
