Nasihat 1

Percayalah semua yang berlaku itu, adalah datangnya dari kehendak dan keizinan Allah, Tidak bergerak biar sezarah pun tanpa keizinan dari Allah.

Bagi yang beilmu hakkul yakin, bukan hantu yang mereka takut bukan senjata yang mereka gentar atau bukan jampi yang mereka khuatir. yang mereka takut, gentar dan kuatir itu, jangan sampai akal dan hatinya lupa pada Allah.

Orang yang lalai itu, adalah orang yang lupa diri, lupa pula pada Allah.

Sedar yakin dan percaya bahawa diri kita ini, adalah tempat Allah meletak dan menzahirkan sifat sifatNYA, samaada baik atau buruk .

Ingatan pada Allah, hendaklah jangan sampai lupa dan jangan sampai diabaikan. berbanyaklah ingat pada Allah, bahawa Allah itu tidak bersifat membenci atau berdendam pada umatNYA. Allah akan tetap bersama kita walau apapun kita, Berlindunglah kepada Allah dari sifat lupa dan lalai.

Allah itu terlalu dekat dengan kita. Dekatnya tidak bersentuhan, jauhnya tidak berantara.

My BigA and her Asthma attack

My poor sugarpie, BigA has been warded for asthma . She cant breath properly. I cant do much to help. We've been trying to feed her with ventolin scrup and inhaler(the one that need to be use with chamber - ventoline gak name die) bottom line, it doesn't work. We've brought her to annur clinic and took nab (nabulizer) that very night (a night before warded) but it worked only for a while. She can't sleep all night. caughing non-stop. Kesian ok!

The next day, early morning, I mean not so early around 9 am we brought her to the annur again. Hopefully, she can get nab again and hopefully she'll breath properly after that. And as expected- "mcm mak die doc kan?", upon doc checked, she immediately suggestted for nab. err not just once, twicee!! double dose.... which took us around 1 hr ++ (plus the waiting time.. 2 kali, 2 kali check doc, 2 kali tunggu etc). huhuhu/// kesian. but seriously,its easier to handle her than iman.. but i think its harder for those with babies.
So, after the 2nd nab, Its doesnt really improved her breathing so doc decided to warded.. so there you go... NOW, Here we are stuck in the annur bed Lilly 8 for 2 nights. Actually, I can see her condition improving on the 1st day .. so was soooo looking forward that maybe ... the mr nice doctor will release us the next day. but the mr nice doctor has turned to Mr- not-so nice doc because he said that he can only release us after 2 nights. that's because BigA require to take 48hrs dosage of ubat2an which including all the antibiotic n gasses (nabulizer) - every 4 hrs.

No wonder la I tak boleh buat kerja kat sini kan?

It's 3 days, 2 nights guys !! not that I mind.. err actually i mind jugak because of I need to take my leave (rugi rugi) hehehhee. ala you know.. kinna boring seeing the wall everywhere. stay inside the box. cant really go anywhere. ^_^ terukkan mak dia. but i think compare me to her, lagi kesian la die kan

Actually, I did go somewhere especially when Mr Ayah came to visit. I will use this as excuse to go somewhere. you know just to get some fresh air . seeing the outside world. hik hik.

But thinking about it, not all bad. "Setiap takdir/ujian/perjalanan yang Allah tetapkan untuk umatnya pasti ada hikmah yang tersembunyi.. hanya mereka yang berfikir merenung pasti akan dapat merasainya." dan inilah yang i rasa. WE did some many things together.

"tell stories, drawing, colouring, playing games- computer games/android games, yang tak boleh blah - exploring.. dari 3rd floor to 2nd floor, siap bawak paper lagi.. konon2 mcm dora's map. hikhik.. tak sempat tengok email office pun... slow giler gune 3G. So, Just want to show you some of her art works.

Somehow, I think maybe its just another way that she could spend more time with me. But,not in the way that I imagine or- should be. What can I say, LitteI always manage to get our attention using her tantrum and all. BigA selalu mengalah :(. MrN used to say this " I paham perasaan anak yang pertama ini" since he's 1st. Hehe. Which I will respond back with " Apa yang u try nak highlight ni?? " and always end with him gelak-gelak.. The BigQ is hm.. apakah yang di lalui ya??? adik-adik suami, kalian suka buli abang kalian ka? hak hak..

So, on our last day, managed to check out during noon.. dan inilah muka kanak-kanak ceria yang dapat keluar hospital!!! Alhamdulillah. Hopefully, she'll recover fast. we still need to continue with antibiotic n several other ubats at home.

Story of Hope

Very inspiring story from Ravi shanker. hope can read the full version soon, I'm working on it yeahh. anyone of you have e-news id, pinjam plsss..
http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2011/6/11/lifeliving/8863289&sec=lifeliving

Snipped: from thestar.com.my (a reader's comments)

I WAS touched and inspired by Ravi Shankar Rama Murthy’s story in “The answer is dance” (The Star, June 11). I can empathise with his predicament, being this mother’s only child, to be left in the cold after her sudden death.

He was left with no choice but to grow up overnight, at 15. I have come across people of lesser character who blame everything and everyone for unfortunate events that happen to them.

Some blamed others (even their own spouses and family members) for bringing them bad luck, some blame the stars and their birth signs, some even blame God. These people refuse and are incapable of, assessing the situation objectively, analysing the failures and making plans how to tackle the challenges.

They wallow in self pity and think that their “bad luck” is the work of others. They do not look within themselves and acknowledge their shortcomings. They do not think ahead and strive to resolve problems.

Many have even taken to drugs and alcohol abuse, neglecting their responsibilities. They forget that God will only help those who help themselves. Ravi has endured much suffering and yet, it has taught him tenacity and given him strength of spirit and character.

The bottom line is, he worked hard; he worked to earn money to survive, he worked hard to do well in his studies, he worked hard in his career, he worked hard unwaveringly to establish Asthana Arts, and above everything else, his determination shone through.

This is the lesson I have reminded my children after reading Ravi’s story - you have to work hard to succeed, there is no short cut to success.

In times of adversity, be strong and determined to face challenges. Live your life with the highest integrity and you will be rewarded and recognised one day. Thank you, The Star for bringing us such inspiring stories.

Benda bertenggek di bahuku

Sesudah solat subuh pagi tadi, tiba-tiba bahuku terasa sakit.
Lalu aku mengendeng kepada en suami untuk minta di picitkan.

Suami: sakit kat mane? sini ke , sambil jari memicit-micit bahuku.
Saya: exactly kat bawah tengkuk i.. sakit giler.. imagine, macam ada batu tiba-tiba singgah di bahu.
Suami: hm.. ada lah benda-benda duduk bertenggek. baca lah apa apa yang patut.
Saya: hahaha pandai la u buat lawak..

Dalam hati: hisk .. kalau betul macammana? saya pun mula la membaca ayat kursi dan sebagainya ,tapi perlahan lahan.. je. maklumla, tadikan tak percaya? (masih kontrol macho kan)


Setelah siap untuk pergi kerja , kami turun ke bawah. Hari ni, kami makan breakfast dulu. roti dan kaya je.

Saya masih sakit bahu lagi.. fikiran saya masih memikirkan bahu yang sakit. sambil makan, kami berbual lagi....

Saya: "kalau betul ada benda bertenggek macam u cakap tadi, macammana ek .. takutla pulak.. "

Suami: "hm..memang ada benda bertenggek, warnannya hitam (sambil mata dibesarkan)
"Saya: errkk. isk benda apa ni.(takut kot!)

.

.

.

(cuak, dalam hati)
.

.

Suami: tu dia! (menunjukkan tangan ke benda ini) , saya? wuarghhhh...

Internal audit di office saya

Audit. Hah Apa itu audit? apa kah? wtahshjkh?

Harini office saya sedang di audit. Bukan audit besar-besaran.

internal audit saja.. menurut spec ISO ye teman-teman.

bukan macam audit yang adik saya @eby. Bukan seperti PWH or EY or ntah mane2 audit firm tu

bukan begitu...

So pagi ni dimulakan dengan baik.

alhamudulillah. bermula dari seorang auditor berlainan bangsa.. tegur-teguran semua diterima dengan baik.

auditor kedua? juga hebat.. mungkin kerana saya telah berjaya memberi jawapan yang hebat.. haha apakah??

tapi,

sampai tengahari saya diinterview oleh seorang auditor yang berstatus "bonda".

die sangat mengannoyingkan saya. dan percayalah.

mesti die sangat annoying dengan saya juga! ha ha. mungkinkah OBIYESSS?

tu la antara masalah terbesar saya. kalau dah start tak suka , memang tak pandai nak sorok2.

cubala cover2 malu seket.. tapi, percayalah. suami saya sangat pandai semua ini. (part cover2 malu tu).

so, akhirnya saya banyak diam saja. kalau penting baru bersuara. Jika tidak, my staff yang bersuara. Hm.. staff saya semua pandai. so boss die boleh relax2. hahaha. *berdosa*.

Percayalah, saya buat begitu supaya kalian semua jadi lebih pandai, berdidikasi, berkaliber... .. * ayat sopan*

Walau apapun, saya bersetuju yang saya patut memandang positive atas semua pandangan orang dan terima dengan berlapang dada. lain orang lain pandangan. lain rambutan, lain durian.
