Pilu

Credit to iluvislam.com

Assalamualaikum.

Entahlah. Tiba-tiba hari ni, hati terasa sedih dan pilu. Tercari-cari dengan sesuatu tapi tak tahu pulak apa yang nak dicari.

Sukar nak dijelaskan. Banyak perkara yang bercampur baur ketika ini. Ujian... hidup ini memang penuh dengan ujian. Sama ada yang nyata atau tidak, hidup perlu diteruskan juga.

Cuma masih tercari-cari, apa punca rasa pilu yang terbit di hati ini...

Assalamualaikum.

My final exam is just around the corner. First paper is scheduled this coming Saturday and last paper is scheduled at the end of first week in January 2012.

My feelings are campur2 at the moment. It's the toughest semester in my Master. But I must remember, there's still another year to go through for my research paper. So it's not the end of the world yet. Heheheh...

There are only 6 students in my class. The remaining ones actually. Most of my coursemates quit including a few of my good friends. Only left one Tanzania guy, one Chinese guy, one Melanau guy, two Chinese girls and one Malay girl (it's me!).

What comes around, comes around. Whatever it is, I just want to give my best to go through this phase. It's tough! Yes, but I don't care. Heheheh... Happy Thursday!

Mencari Jalan Pulang

Assalamualaikum.

Saya memulakan pagi ini dengan hati yang tenang. Sebaik tiba di ofis, saya bancuh air kopi dan makan sarapan yang dibekal pagi tadi. Kemudian saya sibuk dengan persiapan mengajar untuk semester Januari depan.

Tanpa diduga, seorang teman lama saya dan suami membuat panggilan ke ofis. Sudah agak lama juga tidak mendengar khabar darinya. Yang mengejutkan khabar terbarunya ialah untuk berpisah dengan suaminya. Ya Allah! Kenapa jadi begini temanku?

Kami saling mengenali sejak 7 tahun yang lepas. Pasangan muda dan hangat bercinta sejak dari sekolah. Cuma belum ada rezeki untuk menimang cahaya mata sampai sekarang. Mereka juga sudah banyak berusaha dan saya sentiasa menyokong mereka. Namun, berita ini amat mengejutkan dan menyedihkan. Saya tahu dia juga sukar untuk menerima realiti ini, wanita mana yang sanggup berkongsi suami. Suaranya tabah dan kata-katanya diucapkan satu persatu. Saya sendiri terduduk dan terdiam mendengar berita itu darinya. Nasihat saya; berbincang dan berusaha untuk mengekalkan rumahtangganya. Jawapan darinya; jika suaminya sendiri berbincang sebelum berkahwin lain, pasti masalah ini dapat diselesaikan secara baik. Suaminya tidak mahu melepaskannya dan dia pula tidak mahu berkongsi kasih. Penyelesaiannya; mereka akan berbincang di mahkamah syariah dan berpisah. Perbualan kami diakhiri dengan esakan kecil teman saya. Ya Allah! Permudahkanlah segala masalah temanku ini dan kurniakan jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik untuk dirinya.

Bukan mudah untuk berpisah dengan orang yang kita sayang dan teman hidup yang sudah bersama dengan kita untuk hampir 16 tahun. Ia amat pedih dan sukar diterima. Dalam keadaan begini, cuma kepada Allah S.W.T. kita mohon ketenangan, perlindungan, kekuatan, ketabahan, dan jalan penyelesaian terbaik. Saya juga berdoa semoga rahmat Allah S.W.T. sentiasa bersama teman saya ini dan semoga dia redha dengan segala dugaan untuknya. Setiap yang berlaku pasti ada hikmahnya.

Lady N, tingkatkan ibadahmu dan sentiasa bertawakkal kepadaNya. Aku harap hatimu sentiasa teguh dan tidak goyah dengan dugaan yang menimpamu. Ingatlah, jalan pulang sentiasa terbuka untukmu. Allah S.W.T. Maha Pengampun dan Maha Pengasihani kepada umatNya.

ALLAH berfirman dalam Al-Quran, "Dan mereka merancang, ALLAH juga merancang, Sesungguhnya ALLAH sebaik-baik Perancang."

Surah Al-Imran, ayat 54

Sahabat

Credit to iluvislam.com

Assalamualaikum.

Erti persahabatan menurut Imam Syafie:

1. Sahabat yang baik ialah sahabat yang seiring sejalan dengan kita dan menjaga nama baik kita ketika senang dan juga susah.

2. Sukar mencari sahabat yang setia bersama ketika kita susah. Andainya kita senang, mereka iri hati tetapi andainya kita susah, mereka bertepuk tangan. Betapa sukarnya mendapat seorang sahabat yang sejati.

3. Sahabat di sekeliling kita ibarat roda zaman yang tidak mahu bersahabat dengan keadaan. Ketika dilimpah kemakmuran, ramai yang menjadi sahabat tetapi ketika ditimpa musibah, ramai yang menjauhkan diri.

4. Lebih mudah bersendiri ketika tiada sahabat yang bertaqwa kerana itu lebih baik daripada bersahabat dengan mereka yang jahat. Jiwa lebih tenang beribadah daripada bersahabat dengan mereka yang perlu diwaspada.

5. Sukarnya mencari sahabat sejati di zaman ini. Tinggalkan mereka yang bodoh dan sombong dan jauhkan diri daripada mereka yang menganggap diri terlalu mulia.

6. Sahabat yang menjauhkan diri ketika kita susah sebenarnya lebih bersifat sebagai seorang musuh. Tiada yang abadi dan tiada teman sejati yang betul-betul dapat bersama ketika kita susah.

7. Dalam diri manusia, ada tipu daya dan rayuan. Ibarat duri jika dipegang, ibarat bunga jika dipandang.

8. Barangsiapa menghormati orang lain, dia tentu akan dihormati. Barangsiapa menghina orang lain, dia tentu akan dihina juga. Barangsiapa berbuat baik kepada orang lain, baginya adalah satu pahala. Barangsiapa berbuat jahat kepada orang lain, baginya adalah satu seksa yang dahsyat.

9. Menjadi seorang pemaaf dan tiada rasa dengki membuatkan jiwa kita tenang dan bebas. Ketika musuh melewati kita, kita hormat kepadanya. Semua ini untuk menjaga kita dari kejahatan. Tunjukkan kemesraan kepada mereka sebagaimana kita menunjukkan kemesraan kita kepada mereka yang kita sayang.

10. Jaga diri kita dan lidah kita, tentu kita akan bahagia walaupun terpaksa hidup tanpa sahabat.

11. Apabila kita menginginkan kemuliaan seperti orang-orang yang mulia, maka dekatilah mereka yang membangun rumah untuk Allah S.W.T. Hanya orang yang berjiwa mulia dapat menjaga nama baik dirinya dan selalu menghormati tetamunya, baik yang masih hidup atau sesudah mati.

12. Jika sahabat kita tidak dapat menjaga nama baiknya, maka tinggalkan dia kerana ramai yang lebih baik darinya. Tidak semua sahabat menyayangi kita sepertimana kita menyayangi mereka. Jika hati mereka tidak ikhlas maka perasaan mereka itu seperti dibuat-buat dan tinggalkan mereka kerana mereka akan mensia-siakan kita.

P.S. Dalam kehidupan ini, ramai yang bersifat sahabat sementara. Sahabat ketika kita dilimpah kemakmuran, bukan sahabat ketika kita tiada lagi kemakmuran. Sukarnya mencari sahabat yang beriman dan sama-sama bertaqwa kepada Allah S.W.T. Ibarat melihat kuntuman bunga di taman, wangi dan cantik dipandang tapi berduri ketika dipegang.

My Headache Striked Again

Assalamualaikum.

I was on sick leave yesterday. My headache striked again since last Saturday as it's a long and stressful day at my uni last Saturday. Had a quiz at 8.15 am, lecture after that, assignment submission, another lecture in the afternoon, another assignment submission and a presentation to wrap up our assignment. Stressful!!! Yet, my lecturer mentioned that she wanted to deduct my marks as my first assignment is a literature review on a different IR. What??? Am quite shocked when she said that as I still remember she did mention we can have different literature review on different IR, compare them with our team partner and choose the one we're comfortable with. Luckily, my coursemates also argued with her regarding this. Yet, she still condemn us for not listening to her. Only Allah S.W.T. knows how I felt that moment.

Ya Allah! If this is the right path for me, please lead and guide me along the way. If this is not the right path for me, please assist me and let me lead the correct path. Ya Allah! Please surround me with people who are devoted to You and able to remind me to be faithful to You. Amiiinnn...

Salam Jumaat

AYAT SERIBU DINAR

Credit to google.com

Maksudnya:

Dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Penyayang. Dan sesiapa yang bertaqwa kepada Allah (dengan mengerjakan suruhanNya dan meninggalkan laranganNya), nescaya akan dijadikan baginya jalan keluar (dari segala perkara yang menyusahkannya).

Serta memberinya rezeki dari jalan yang tidak terlintas di hatinya. Dan (ingatlah), sesiapa berserah diri bulat-bulat kepada Allah, maka Allah cukupkan baginya (untuk menolong dan menyelamatkannya). Sesungguhnya Allah tetap melakukan segala perkara yang dikehendakiNya. Allah telah pun menentukan kadar dan masa bagi berlakunya tiap-tiap sesuatu.

P.S. Assalamualaikum. Salam Jumaat untuk semua. Ayat seribu dinar ini sesuai dijadikan amalan setiap hari. Banyak kelebihannya terutama menenangkan hati yang resah dan diamalkan apabila kita hendak bertawakkal terhadap sesuatu perkara. Insya Allah!

My Unconditional Love

Lil' Muhammad

Lil' Iman Najiha

Assalamualaikum.

My day starts brightly. Mr. AJ went off travelling earlier this morning. He's supposed to be on leave starting this week but he's required to attend a meeting and a few functions outside Kuching. With my dad of course.

And again, I'm all by myself with the lil' ones. Mom is around this time. Thank you mom! At least my lil' ones are fully occupied with their Nenek's talks and hugs. Heheheh...

Every morning, lil' Iman will walk with me to the car. Open and close the door for me. Salam with me and I'll say a few words to her such as, "Iman, be a good girl. Behave and listen to Nenek."

This morning, as usual, we walked together to my car. As she salam with me, she said, "Mommy, Iman will be a good girl today. Iman will listen to Nenek k. Mommy just go to work and balik cepat2 k." I smiled, kissed her forehead and cheeks, and I said, "Yes, darling." My heart fills with an unexplained emotion. I can feel tears in my eyes. My lil' Iman has grown up and learn to be independent. How time flies so fast.

No matter how I scolded them, they're still my children and they still cuddling with me. It's called unconditional love. No matter how I'm angry with them, I still prepare their milk and change their diapers. It's called unconditional love. Unconditional love is true love. You love them for who they are no matter how they change and will be in future. You'll love them even more now and in future though you disagree with them. It's called unconditional love.

Some people said unconditional love is only applicable to our children and not applicable to our other half (husband or wife). Every marriage has its own story. Every story has its own moral of the story. We learn from our mistakes, and we struggle to enhance what we have. Accept our other half for who they are. Ignore those little emotional thing if it occurs. Be realistic and be thankful for what we have today. Learn to accept and to accentuate people around us. Just ignore those who tend to disparage you. I've experienced that and may Allah S.W.T. forgive them for their words and actions. Insya Allah! Great things will always be on our way.

Have a nice day! ;-D

Power of Being A Good Teacher by Prof. Dr. Muhaya Mohamad

Credit to google.com

Assalamualaikum.

I came across a Youtube video on "Power of Being A Good Teacher" by Prof. Dr. Muhaya Mohamad. I must say, she's a great speaker and motivator. I've seen her talk show, forum and also radio show. This is one of her best. Search on Youtube and you'll find it. Sorry for being unable to upload it here as some applications are blocked at my office network. Heheheh...

I'll share some of her points here which I think should be embraced by educators and teachers.

Always remember that we are teaching other people's children with the confidence that God will make sure our children will be good now and hereafter.

As a Muslim, we should always remember that when we die, there are three things that we should leave:
1. Good children who pray for us
2. The donation that we give to people
3. Good knowledge that can be beneficial to people

According to Dr. Muhaya, a teacher has the third one. When we give good knowledge, we are going to be a creative value to people.

Dr. Muhaya defines success as a progressive realization of a worthy course. In life, we have to know our PURPOSE. Purposeful is that whatever we are doing, we enjoy it.

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO AND WE DO WHAT WE LOVE.

Teach sincerely with your heart. Work with your heart rather than with your mind alone. Teachers who are not happy cannot make others happy. It is just like a cycle, if teachers are not happy at home, they are also not happy at workplace and cannot make others happy. So stay FOCUS!

ONCE WE PUT POSITIVITY, NEGATIVITY WILL GO!

If our student make mistake, it's ok. It is better to make mistake now rather than they make mistake in future, in their work. The more they make mistake, the more we correct them, the more they remember.

NOTHING IS A FAILURE BUT A LESSON OF LIFE.

Change the teaching/learning environment. Keep on telling good things to our student and increase their self esteem. And they will positively change.

THE POSITIVE IMAGE THAT WE MUST CREATE IN OUR STUDENTS.

Lastly, it's one of her best remarks that touches deep inside my heart.

SUCCESS IS NOT BEING BETTER THAN SOMEONE ELSE.

BUT SUCCESS IS BECOMING BETTER THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY.

Thank you very much, Dr. Muhaya!

P.S. As an educator, I met various types of educator along my career. As a Master student, I also met different kinds of lecturer's attitude. These people gave a big impact in me. Insya Allah! I'll give the best for my students whom I always treat just like my sisters and brothers. May Allah S.W.T. bless all educators and teachers who teach and educate sincerely with their heart. Amiiinnn...

Happy Monday!

Assalamualaikum.

Happy Monday to everyone! Am still working these three weeks. Will take my long leave from Christmas till first week of January 2012.

I've settled several things for Muhammad's school preparation next year or shall I say next month. I feel so excited for him. He looks anxious and happy when I told him he's going to a new school. "SRK Green Road, mommy? Not LBT?" No, dear. You're going to enter a primary school. No longer a kindy boy.

Perhaps all mothers out there are happy and busy as well for their kids' school preparation. It's exciting, though! Shopping for their school uniforms, school bags, shoes, stationeries, etc. As if we're the one who go to school. Heheheh...

Happy Weekend!

Musim Cuti Sekolah

Credit to iluvislam.com

Assalamualaikum.

Sekarang ni musim cuti sekolah. Mesti ramai yang dah buat perancangan untuk bercuti bersama keluarga tersayang. Dalam masa sebulan lagi, tahun baru 2012 akan menjelang. Apa perancangan anda pada musim cuti ni? Pasti ada yang menarik terutama bercuti bersama anak-anak.

Saudara mara saya di sebelah keluarga ibu merancang untuk bercuti bersama pada hujung minggu ketiga bulan Disember ini. Saya pulak tak sabar menanti. Minda dan tubuh ini terasa sangatlahhh penattt. Teringin nak berehat dan melupakan sebentar kerja dan belajar. Yang pastinya percutian kami kelak mesti havoc dan meriah. Adik beradik ibu seramai 10 orang manakala abang dan beberapa adik ibu ada yang sudah bercucu. Lokasi kami bercuti? Tak pasti lagi. Santubong Resort, Damai Puri Resort atau Serapi Resort? Semuanya menarik. Cuma menanti keputusan adik beradik ibu sahaja.

Hidup ini singkat je kan? Tapi ramai yang tak menghargai betapa indahnya saat-saat manis dan pahit dalam hidup ini. Oleh itu, rancanglah untuk pergti bercuti supaya kita dapat refresh dan memulakan tirai tahun 2012 dengan lebih bersemangat. Yang penting, kita mesti enjoy bersama keluarga tersayang. Jumpa lagi!

My 10.10 Life Achievement List

Assalamualaikum.

10th October is my birth date. In conjunction with the Maal Hijrah 1433H, I've formulate a target list for me to achieve in another 10 years based on my own birth date.

My 10.10 Life Achievement List
10. Perform my 5 times daily solat and read Al Quran everyday without amiss
9. Perform solat sunat Fajar, Dhuha, Taubat, Hajat, Istikharah and Tahajjud; and make them become my daily practice
8. Fasting on every Monday and Thursday
7. Wasatiyah (bersederhana) in everything.
6. Speak only the importance and the truth without offending somebody else
5. Improve my appearance especially my aurat to fulfill Islamic dressing requirements
4. Complete my Masters degree to improve my knowledge and teaching skills
3. Get my third child before I reach 35 and get back in shape as soon as possible
2. Perform my Umrah and Hajj
1. Enjoy my life more by valuing each moment I have for myself and my family especially my children by being the best wife, the best mommy, the best daughter and the best sister

It is a long way to go through but I believe I can do this. In this 10 years, I'll keep reviewing this list to refresh and to remind myself. List number 10 - 5 are compulsary in my life. If I've completed list number 4 - 1 in this list, I'll reproduce a new target list to suit my future needs. Insya Allah!

Selamat Menyambut Maal Hijrah 1433H

Assalamualaikum.

Semoga hijrah tahun baru ini menjadi langkah permulaan paling bermakna untuk kita sebagai Muslimah dalam kehidupan yang amat singkat ini. Kita juga bergelar isteri, ibu, anak, kakak, adik, sahabat, dan pelbagai lagi gelaran lain di dunia ini.

Semalam saya menghadiri solat berjemaah di rumah ibu saudara. Tertarik dengan ceramah pendek yang disampaikan oleh ustaz selepas solat Maghrib. Beliau menyebut bahawa dalam kehidupan ini, ada beberapa perkara yang perlu ditekankan dan diamalkan.

1. Islam

Wajib sebagai seorang Islam, kita menunaikan lima rukun Islam yang utama. Solat adalah antara perkara utama yang dihisab. Oleh itu, jagalah solat wajib dan ditambah lagi dengan amalan solat sunat.

2. Iman

Menjaga keimanan kita terutama menjaga rukun-rukun iman dalam Islam.

3. Ihsan

Berbuat baik dalam setiap pekerjaan atau perkara yang kita lakukan.

4. Ikhlas

Setiap amalan yang kita lakukan adalah kerana Allah S.W.T. semata-mata.

5. Amalan membaca selawat Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

Elok diamalkan setiap hari untuk menjadi amalan harian.

Insya Allah! Mudah-mudahan saya dapat membaiki setiap kekurangan dalam diri dan meningkatkan lagi segala kelebihan yang ada. Amiiinnn...

P.S. Tiba-tiba teringat pesanan Ustaz, "Kita mesti sentiasa mengingati MATI kerana ia akan mengingatkan kita supaya tidak lalai dalam hidup ini." Bila hati merasa sedih dan jiwa merasa resah, saya cepat-cepat beristighfar. Betapa singkatnya hidup ini untuk kita penuhi dengan keluhan dan kesalan.

Semasa saya masih di sekolah rendah dan baru belajar tentang hari kiamat, pasti hati berdebar-debar menanti ketibaan hari Jumaat. Dikatakan matahari yang terbit di sebelah barat pada hari Jumaat menandakan hari itu ialah hari kiamat. Dan saya masih merasa debaran itu hingga sekarang.

Ya Allah! Hindarilah hambaMu ini dari sifat lalai terutama dari segi kewajipanku terhadap tuntutan agama Islam. Bimbinglah hambaMu ini ke atas jalan yang diredhai olehMu.

A Visit to IT Unit, UiTM Sarawak

Assalamualaikum.

We had a visit to IT Unit, UiTM Sarawak on Thursday, 10 November 2011. Initially, this visit was to introduce the real IT working environment to our students. Plus, the lecturers can observe and learn new things as well. It's beneficial for our teaching actually.

It's a longgg walk and more stairs to climb. Heheheh...

Mr. Mohd. Farid, the Head of IT Unit was doing his explanation.

The long hair kiddo is Ms. Fu Swee Tee and the other lady is Madam Norahima (my Boss).

I like their computer labs. Perfect arrangement and tidy.

The Apple computers look superb! I forgot to snap one pic of them.

Am quite interested with the E-Polling project. A potential project for the final year students.

More explanation, that two small devices are used to produce smart cards.

This is also part of server room.


My favourite slot; Makan Time

Photo session; some students were missing here.

Thank you to Mr. Mohd. Farid and the team! Looking forward to meet all of you again.

Tuesday Blues

Credit to google.com

Assalamualaikum.

Why Tuesday blues not Monday blues? Because...

• My hectic schedule starts on Tuesday


• I've a class to teach at 8.00 am from Tuesday till Friday


• I'm free for the whole Monday then suddenly I've to teach on Tuesday


• It indicates three more days to Saturday and four more days to Sunday (my weekend classes)


• I only have four free hours everyday from Tuesday till Friday


• After work, I need to bring Muhammad and Iman to Kumon class on Tuesday and Friday which another 1 hour to spend outside after work and it can drag me till 7.00 pm every Tuesday and every Friday

P.S. Dear Boss, can I switch my class to 10.00 am next semester? Heheheh...

My Weekend

Assalamualaikum.

It's Muhammad's graduation concert last Saturday and I was struggling with my exam at uni. I managed to complete my paper half an hour earlier but the distance seem to be the barrier. It took me at least 40 minutes to arrive at the concert hall. How sad. Everyone was clapping and cheering when I entered the door. The concert had just finished! Heheheh...

Yet, my precious was doing two performances that day. Luckily, his father, grandfather, grandmother, aunty, uncle, his cousins and his lil' sister were there to support him. It's my sister's kindergarten so the whole family were there. Mr. AJ whispered to me, "Don't worry. Just watch the video. He did very well."

No class on last Sunday. Cheers! I really ENJOYED my Sunday. We brought the kids to Giant, Batu 10 and Boulevard Kuching. In Kuching, there are two huge Giant supermarket opened recently. One is situated near my office at Tabuan and one is at Batu 10. I love their business concept as the supermarket is spacious and you can buy fresh bread right there. The supermarket is very big. Love it!

Muhammad and Iman love to play at the kid's playground, Boulevard's top floor. It's a huge space with several kid's play equipment. You can actually see a crowd of parents and children inside. Entrance fee; Children: RM1 per person and Adult: FREE. My nephew, Farhan was with us that Sunday too. After two hours, we went home. Kids were so tired as my lil' ones slept from evening till this morning.

Right now, I'm juggling with two assignments. One is Computational Linguistic and another is Quantitative Methods. Last few weeks am so cramped with works, teaching, exams, etc. Alhamdulillah. Life is always full of Allah's S.W.T. blessings. ;-D

Happy working to everyone!

Selamat Hari Jumaat

Am I Being Too Selfish?

Assalamualaikum.

For the past few days, lil' Iman cried every morning before I went to work. She requested me to stay at home and play with her. It made me wondering. Am I being too selfish for my kids?

To be in between motherhood life and career life is the most difficult situation for most mothers. As I mentioned before, I work 5 days a week and I go to my classes every Saturday and Sunday. When I'm home, I will shutdown every single items related to my work and my study. Just concentrate with my lil' ones. But yet, both my lil' ones are still complaining. It's difficult, yes. It's torturing, yes. I've always wanted to expand my career. So I'm taking further step to enhance them though I've to sacrifice a lot.

But yet, I'm still wondering.

Am I being too selfish? Huhuhu...

Sakit Kepala

Assalamualaikum.

Semenjak mendaftar untuk semester ke-4 pada bulan September lepas, jadual harian saya sentiasa padat. Saya bekerja 5 hari seminggu dan menghadiri kelas setiap hujung minggu kecuali pada hari cuti umum. Apatah lagi ketika waktu untuk menghantar projek, assignment dan ujian. Saya pasti merasa stress dan tertekan.

Sejak beberapa hari lepas, saya sakit kepala atau pening dari pagi hingga petang. Saya kaji puncanya dan cuba mengatasinya. Disebabkan terlalu sibuk, saya tertinggal sarapan pagi untuk 3 hari berturut-turut. Walaupun saya mengambil sedikit oat untuk alas perut, namun ia tidak cukup untuk menampung jumlah tenaga yang diperlukan oleh badan saya. Mmm... bilik saya pula terletak di tingkat 3 dan saya naik atau turun tangga setiap hari untuk extra senaman. Agaknya, secawan oat memang tak cukup untuk saya. Heheheh... Disebabkan tertekan dengan bebanan kerja dan belajar, saya kurang rehat dan kurang tidur. Fikiran ini lebih fokus untuk bekerja hingga Mr. AJ menegur saya untuk berehat dan menenangkan fikiran. Saya akui, badan dan fikiran saya sangat letih. Bilalah semua ini akan berakhir? Heheheh...

Ada banyak faktor yang mendorong sakit kepala:

• letih
  



• kurang tidur
  



• gastrik
  



• lapar
  



• kafein
  



• corak tidur berubah
  



• perubahan hormon
  



• bahan pengawet dalam makanan
  



• kesan ubat
  



• cahaya yang terlalu terang
  



• persekitaran yang sesak
  



• etc.

Dari list di atas, hampir 80% menjadi punca sakit kepala saya. Penawarnya? Tiada penawar yang khusus kecuali belajar untuk mengawalnya:

• Jumlah tidur seimbang




• Pemakanan seimbang




• Bersenam




• Berurut (saya suka reflexology)




• etc.

Memang sukar untuk menyeimbangkan segala-galanya. Do it in moderate then. Islam menggalakkan umatnya untuk bersederhana dalam setiap perkara. So, I've new targets to achieve now. Heheheh...

Sakit kepala atau pening juga merupakan kesan dari sikap negatif dalam diri saya. Bila merasa tertekan, saya gelisah dan risau. Kebetulan saya pulak jenis yang suka berfikir dan menganalisa secara detail. Akhirnya, saya yang pening kepala. Sukar nak buang habit negative dalam diri. So, saya mesti bersikap positif.

Being with positive people will make you a positive person. Let's be positive in life, people!

Revision:
Positive+Positive=Positive
Negative+Negative=Positive in Negative
Positive+Negative=Positive or Negative???

No specific answer, depends on the value of positive and negative. Which one would you prefer?

Focus on The Positive

Where does your energy go?
On what you focus your thoughts matter.
Worry is focusing your energy on problems, not solution.
Train yourself to be more aware of the focus of your thoughts.
Focus on projects and things that make you happy,
not on stuffs that drain you.

Stay Positive!

Paris, Me Voila!

Classic building in Paris city

Assalamualaikum,

This is the final part~Paris, Me Voila! In Paris, we stayed at Kyriad Hotel Paris Bercy Village. It's a strategic hotel as there are a few HALAL restaurants and supermarket nearby.

More photos taken for the scenery instead. Well, we visited several places here including Champs-Elysees, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and my sisters were keen to do shopping. If you love fashion especially handbag, shoes, etc., then Paris is the right place to shop! Paris is a very big city and beautiful of course! The buildings are classic and have luxury design.

Wonderful!

Paris is shopping heaven for fashion lovers! I grabbed a few handbags as well here and it's tempting. Honestly, the price is much much cheaper and it's drooling! (sigh)

There are several shopping malls such as Galeries Lafayette Department Store and Le Printemps. You can even shop at their fashion high streets for icon brands such as Chanel, Dior, Hermes, LV, etc. Anyway, I just name a few but I'm not into them as these brands are too expensive for me. Maybe in future perhaps! Hehehe... Dior cosmetics/skincare are worth to try. I'm now using their Diorsnow range for my skincare and makeup.

I've completed my travelling journal here. Though they're not that detailed but I hope you enjoy them. London is my favourite and I plan to return to London next year. I heard my dad is planning another journey to New Zealand and Tasmania. Most probably I'm not joining them as I'm saving for my (our) London journey. Just the four of us ~ Me, Mr. AJ, lil' Muhammad and lil' Iman Najiha.

Good night and enjoy your weekend!

Do You Drive With Your Cellphone? Please Don't!

Assalamualaikum.

Salam Jumaat to everyone. To all my friends, sorry for the long delay on my final part; Paris. Am quite hectic lately.

As Mr. AJ went travelling this week, I've to depart from home earlier in order to send Muhammad to kindy. It's a looonnnnggg journey as my office and Muhammad's kindy is located from one end to another end. But it's nearer to Mr. AJ's office of course. It's not about the distance that I wish to comment BUT instead, it's about the drivers' behaviour on the road.

Kuching city has lots of roundabout. BIG roundabout which as big as a small football field. So you can imagine how big it is, right? Morning means traffic jam everywhere. People send kids to school, people drive to work, etc. At the roundabout, I encountered this several times; the driver was on the cellphone, either talking or sms-ing. And...

IT'S ANNOYING!

Well, I'm concerned about safety. My safety, their safety and other drivers' safety. When they're busy on the cellphone, they tend to drive sooo slowww and controlled their cars carelessly. I mean, "HELLLOOO!!!! I'M DRIVING WITH MY KID BEHIND YOU!!!"

So please, don't drive with your cellphone. Keep it aside! You can reply the call or sms later. Just remember...

SAFETY COMES FIRST!

See ya!

Everyday Is A Blessing

Scotland~Edinburgh & Glasgow

Assalamualaikum.

Happy weekend everyone! Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidiladha untuk semua.

On Day 7, we flew to Edinburgh, Scotland via British Airways. Mmm... as the London Heathrow airport is very strict upon liquid on flight, we had to dispose all Muhammad and Iman Najiha's milk in my backpack. Luckily, Mr. AJ kept several bottles in our luggage for extra stock. Just a few minutes before departure, Muhammad asked me with tears in his eyes," Why those people dispose my milk? Don't they know that I need to drink my milk?" Mr. AJ replied," It's ok, Muhammad. I'll buy you more milk once we reach the hotel k." Honestly, I prefer KLIA and Dubai International Airport. They really understand the needs of mothers and children.;-D

Upon arrival, we went to Holiday Inn Hotel, Edinburgh and stayed there for four days and three nights. Just for extra information, they served Malaysian's cuisine but we don't take any of them as they don't have HALAL certification. The good news is, you can find a few HALAL restaurants nearby the hotel. Our favourite spot was an Arab Muslim restaurant which just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Next to our hotel are Edinburgh Zoo and Royal Botanic Garden. So this hotel is very strategic. The kids really enjoyed their time. Edinburgh and Glasgow is super cold!!!

1Malaysia!

On Day 8, we travelled to Glasgow for one full-day trip. The journey was around 1 hour 45 minutes via coach. We went ronda2 at Glasgow city then to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Ticket price is upon request only. There are 22 state-of-the art galleries displaying around 8000 objects. Kids will definitely love this place. Apart from that, there's a library and research centre here.

Early morning on Day 9, we were alarmed by the hotel safety warning. I'd just taken my bath and a hotel staff knocked our door. He reminded us to go down and join the others at the car park. The weather was super cold that morning. It's sooo breezy and the wind blew strongly. I really thought there's a storm coming but it seems just a small alarm. A small fire occured in the hotel kitchen and it triggered the hotel safety warning. Alhamdulillah. Chaotic but luckily nobody was harmed or injured.

Am so kelam kabut that morning! A hotel staff helped me to carry lil' Iman to the hotel car park.

Kids loved the fire engine!

Our next destination was Edinburgh Castle. It's super duper cold and breezy up here. My advice; wear extra clothing. Ticket price is also upon request only. There are a few places of interest inside to visit but you might be unable to bring in your camera to some of them; The Great Hall, National War Museum Scotland, Prisons of War, Royal Palace, Royal Scots Regimental, Scottish National War Memorial, The Crown Room and you can also have the biggest view of Edinburgh, Scotland from the Argyle Battery. That's why most of my pictures were taken outside.
