3. I'm afraid of dogs... Small or big... I'm totally afraid of them... Seriously...

9. I love both of my paternal and maternal grandmothers... My prayers will always be with them no matter where they may be... always...

Nasi Briyani? Anyone?

I found something that's totally purely made in sunny Singapore by fellow Singaporeans (Whoever you guys are, I just would like to say a big THANK YOU for creating such a wonderful site)...

I was actually browsing thru the Internet for some info on Muslimah Swimsuits yesterday when I found this interesting site called, "NASI BRIYANI LOUNGE"... (Cute name huh? I thought so too... hee hee... The name itself tells it all...)

What did I do next? Visited it la, of course!!

The moment I browsed in, I knew, this could be one of those few sites that I would love to get myself involved with... I totally fell in love with "Nasi Briyani Lounge" the moment I visited it... At last!! One of those few good sites where I could relate certain topics and useful infos to and best of all, it's made in Singapore!!

Click [HERE] for NASI BRIYANI LOUNGE...

I'm actually the type of person who don't easily get hooked to certain sites blindly... I would usually judge all these sites and consider those that are useful prior to my needs... And to tell you frankly, right now, I'm only into "Blogger", (where I blog about myself and my Blogshop), Multiply (is another site where I promote my Blogshop) and also Twitter (where I provide short updates of myself for the day)...

"Nasi Briyani Lounge" is actually a community site where (if you are a member) you could ask and answer all kinds of questions that come into topic. For someone like me, I found that there's less info in the Internet where I could search and enquire on matters that involves our everyday lives in Singapore...

I pretty much envy my fellow Malaysian friends who could easily get whatever info they want pertaining to anything that involves issues or stuffs in their country. I mean, they have lots of sites that involves the Malaysian Muslim Community. Just surf thru the Internet and you'll get what I mean...

Try signing up and log into "Nasi Briyani Lounge"... Insya'allah... Whatever opinions, tips or even info will definitely be shared by members who came from different walks of life... It's a site where Muslims and non-Muslims alike could get together and exchange their views on a lot of things...

Anyway, I'm still new to this "Nasi Briyani Lounge" thingy... To all of you (who knows me or those who don't even know me), please join in as well, yes?

So what are you waiting for? Go get yourself a packet of Nasi Briyani and lets get ourselves together in the NASI BRIYANI LOUNGE...

I see you there!! =)

Say "Hello" To TWEET...

Yesterday, we had a little visitor in the crib... Everyone were watching TV while I was busy doing my chores... This was how the story about the little cute visitor goes...

My brother (Alep)[whispering], "Kak... Oi Kak... Sini kejap... Shhhhh... Diam2 siket..."

Me [puzzled], "Huh? Ape diye? Ape SHHHHH?"

Him [pointing at the living room window], "Kak tengok tu... Ade ape tu... Shhhhh... Diam2 jer..."

Me [thinking that it's a flying cockroach that had accidentally flew in], "Ape SHHHHH? Don't tell me there's a freaking cockroach stuck at the window grill?"

Him, "No la... You look closely... Tell me what is it..."

So I looked and guess what.. A cute little bird perched itself on our window grill... Cute!! Really cute... I've no idea what's the scientific name in English but what I know is, in Malay, it's called the "Burong Mate Putih" la...

What did we do next? We tried catching it!! All doors and windows shut... Then, that's where the fun of catching the little bird began... ahahahaha!! [Thanks Dad for helping us out... Tak sangke pandai betol Papa aku tangkap burong... (^_^) hee hee...]

Today, after work, I managed to drop by at our neighbourhood Pet Shop with hubby and grab a bird cage for the little bird coz at the moment, he's kept in a shoe box... [Thanks Pak Itam for purposely dropping by at our crib and helping us out with the temporary little "bird box"... Innovative betol la pakcik aku yg satu ni... Suke aku!!]

Everyone were delighted to welcome the new member in the family... Both of my babies were so excited with their new pet... So what's his name? We decided to call our new pet bird, "Tweet"... Inspiration of the name comes from TWITTER... lol... So since I'm still new to TWITTER and the little bird is still new to our family, let's call him, "TWEET" then... hee hee...

Pictures uploaded...


P/S: My pet cat, Black is seriously going bonkers over Tweet... As you know, most cats can't get along well with birds... You know... "Predator and Prey" that sort of thing...

Poor Little Asyura...

So I came to the office this morning with aches and pain all over my body... I really didn't feel like coming to work but I had to... pfft... Piles of paperwork need to be done... There are lots of other stuffs still on pending... Well, at least I've already informed my superior (in advance) that I'm just gonna be in on a half day today...

It was 20 mins before 1pm and just when I was about to pack my stuffs and get ready for home, my mobile phone rang... Hubby called saying, "You better leave the office now..."

Me, "Why?"

Him, "Anak you jatoh mulot diye koyak... You cepat la balek... I'm coming to fetch you now... You turon bawah skarang..."

Me, "Huh? Sape? Asil mulot koyak? Asal bole mcm tu?"

Him, "Later talk... You just turon bawah jer..."

So me, being the "panicky kanchong spider" type of mom, I packed as quickly as I could (tapi sempat pulak tu update a bit pasal ni kat TWITTER... lol...) and started calling my mom... My judgement was wrong... It wasn't Asil but it was Asyura instead... And the moment I heard her cries on the phone, my heart was thumping like crazy and I burst into tears...

Mom (on the phone), "Kak... Asyura jatoh... Bibir diye koyak... Darah klua non-stop ni... Mama da letak ice tapi darah maseh klua ni..."

Aku apelagi... Lagi panic giler la aku ni... Air mate pon meleleh... I couldn't control my tears already by then... So hubby fetched me up, we rushed back home to get Asyura and off we went to the Yishun Polyclinic... Alhamdulillah, priority was given to my little girl as soon as we arrived...

The cut was 1cm long and about 0.3mm deep... Asyura had 2 options... Either let the cut heal by itself (coz study shows that babies, her age, heals faster than adults do) but there would still be a scar left on her lip area OR straight away refer her to KKH Women's & Children's Hospital where the Specialist on duty would eventually stitch her cut up and yes there would also be a scar left on her lip area as well...

I was already imagining the next worst scenario... Hubby tried his best to calm me down... I mean, you know, the cut lip, the blood oozing, the swelling and Asyura's cries... All these was enough to make ME cry...

I couldn't imagine the situation where the specialist in KKH would stitch up Asyura's lip and there'll be nurses holding her down and then definitely, there'll be cries coming out from her, from the stitch, the pain and everything... Gosh!!

We ended up taking the 1st option... Let the cut heal by itself and we live the rest to Allah... Tawakkal jer la... Insya'allah tak de pape...

So a prescription was given to heal the wound... And miraculously, somehow (Syukur Alhamdulillah) her swelling subsides and the torn lip eventually (slowly) closing itself up...

OK, pictures uploaded above on my poor little Asyura...

[Kesian anak Ummi ni... Insya'allah tak de pape la k... I know Allah will always keep an eye on you & your brother for me... =) Love you both alot!!]

Native Deen...

NATIVE DEEN is a Muslim Nasheed group from the USA.

They consist of 3 young Muslim men who were born and raised in USA. Joshua Salaam, Naeem Muhammad and Abdul Malik Ahmad who grew up in Washington, DC. Their music seeks to inspire young people to keep their Islamic faith amid the pressures & temptations of daily life.

"Deen" in Arabic means religion or way of life. The group identifies themselves as Muslim, and wear traditional Islamic dress such as kufis and shalwar kameez. Of course, they say there is more than one way to identify as a Muslim, both by etiquette and dress.

Their music are fusion, hip-hop and R&B style, with lyrics on Islam and several of their songs focus on living as a Muslim in America amidst pressures & temptations. Their music typifies the subgenre "positive hip-hop".

More info on NATIVE DEEN, please visit these links: [HERE] & [HERE]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm telling you, the way this group projects Islam (thru their songs) is really fabulous!!

Hubby loves it, I love it & even my little toddlers are loving it too...

My little Asil had even managed to memorised some of the lyrics all by himself and sang along in baby talks... While little Asyura on the other hand, swayed her head from side to side whenever the songs were being played... =)

Imagine how would it be if NATIVE DEEN was invited to sing in Singapore... Masya'allah!! Definitely, my family would be one of those to see them perform live on stage... Definitely...

Why we love NATIVE DEEN?

I don't know how to say this... You guys should go listen to all their songs, how they mix the beat and everything plus the way they flo... Their songs could be appreciated by people of all races, religions and ethnicities...

Seriously, they are VERY TALENTED & UNIQUE in their own kind of way... =)
