Seminggu Ramadhan

Ntah nape mood nak blogging dah kureng skit sejak dah seminggu berpuasa ni... nak kata banyak beribadat tak jugak...nak kata memasak pun tak jugak...tapi nape ek?

Badan rasa penat je...ooo...mungkin sebab badan tak berapa sihat...bebudak, bapak budak dan nenek budak semuanya tak sihat. Hidung masing-masing masih lagi berhingus dan batuk2.

Tiap-tiap hari tido lewat... pastu bangun sahur pun dah nak masuk waktu subuh. Lepas solat bantai tido dengan bebudak sampai dekat tengah hari baru bangun. Ahhh...nasib baik tak kena masak untuk lunch... kalau tak, gerenti kelam kabut hidup dibuatnya.

Baru-baru ni Abang beli handphone baru dua biji. Satu untuk saya...dan satu lagi untuk dia punye 2nd no. Yang pastinya dia bagi yang murah aje kat saya sebab kata dia saya ni tak pandai jaga telefon. Yelah sebelum ni dah 3 biji telefon yang dia bagi semuanye tak kekal lama...satu masuk lubang jamban, satu plak masuk mesin basuh... dan yang satu lagi rosak. So, murah pun murah ler....janji bole buat dan terima call jadilah.

Masakan untuk berbuka plak tak ler sehebat mane...asal ade nasi, satu ikan / ayam dan sayur kira oklah. Pastu, balik keje Abang belilah kuih dua tiga jenis...kalau rajin, buatla mi2 ke, bubur ke atau ape2la yang rasa tekak nak makan.

Hari Selasa Mak & Ayah berbuka kat umah...best jugak. Lagipun diorang pun tinggal berdua je...kesian plak nak masak2. Rindu rasanye bila ingat masa zaman-zaman berpuasa dengan keluarga sendiri. Bila waktu berbuka, makan macam orang lapar sangat tapi makan sikit aje dah mengah. Pastu siap ade giliran cuci pinggan plak tu....semuanye tinggal kenangan.

Kalau ikut mak & ayah, kitorang tak pernah berbuka dengan nasi. Nasi hanya dikhaskan untuk sahur aje. Biasanya berbuka mesti dengan mi ke, laksa ke, bubur ke dan kuih muih. Seronok bila waktu berbuka sebab ada bermacam jenis makanan kat atas meja.

Sekarang ni giliran saya plak buat juadah berbuka untuk keluarga. Tapi memandangkan Abang dan mak mertua biasa berbuka dengan nasi, saya pun terpaksalah ikut tapi kadang2 tu buatlah juadah yang lain skit. Kuih muih memang malas nak buat, beli lagi baik sebab makan pun tak banyak.

Sejak tahun lepas saya jarang ke bazar Ramadhan. Bukannye ape, malas nak bersesak2 lagipun takut membazir sebab paham-paham ajelah kalau nampak makanan mesti rambang mata. Nanti takut dah beli takde sapa nak makan plak. Nasib baik Abang volunteer pegi beli kuih lepas balik keje kalau tidak tak berkuih le berbuka jawabnye.

Apapun puasa tahun ni benar2 bermakna buat saya dan InsyaAllah segalanya akan berjalan dengan baik.

Pestilence week

Last Saturday, we bought a new 29 inches Sharp TV for Mak & Ayah. This time, again I owe Abang for his kindness towards my parents eventhough I always teasing him about it. A big thank you to you Abang.

Opppps....frankly it's not about the new tv set but the emphasize story is about the plague invaded my family this whole week. It started on the day we came to send and install the TV. Mak got flu and she refused to get close to her grandchildren because she didn't want them to get infected but the virus has spreaded. It's an outbreak !!!

Ayah as usual with his suffering. His liver problem make him lost much weight so quick. He looked so thin and his eyes and skin turned yellow. I feel so sad looking at my parents conditions because I cannot do anything. Eventhough I am the nearest child (daughter), I pay attention to them regularly even once a week because I am a wife which needs to seek a permission and of course burden by liability and responsiblity.

On the next day, Arif started to sneeze and his body temperature was getting high. We brought Arif to the clinic and doctor said his throat turned red and he had fever. When Arif almost cure off, the virus has spread through Hakim. No more turning back we quickly dash Hakim to the clinic because we were more worried about his cough since he had suspected a bacteria infected in his lungs few months ago.

Now Abang's turns. He having a chronic cough and nearly getting an asthma while the children still unrecovered and my mother in law also had a sore throat. Beside the fasting, all these are really testing our patience in Ramadhan this year. So far, Alhamdulillah ..... we were still able to complete our fasting and everybody is getting to cure.

Suddenly today my turn in getting flu...... hope it won't make me defeat especially in performing my fasting. Indeed, the patience have its wisdom.... InsyaAllah.

Susahnya membuat kebaikan

Bila kita ingin membuat kebaikan, tentulah kita berniat kerana Allah...kalau tak, tentu tak dapat ape2, kan?

Bukan senang untuk kita membuat kebaikan sebab takut disalah ertikan apatah lagi kalau kita duduk dengan orang yang sentiasa berfikiran negatif...contohnya:

a) Kita bersolat tak tinggal, orang cakap kita berlagak alim.
b) Kita berpuasa dan buat amalan sunat di bulan Ramadhan, orang cakap kita menunjuk
c) Kita membantu dengan ikhlas, orang cakap kita nak bodek
d) Kita berzikir terkumat-kamit, orang cakap kita mengeluh
e) Kita mengajak melakukan kebaikan, orang cakap kita macam bagus

Pendek kata, apa sahaja yang kita buat untuk kebaikan pasti dipandang serong...walhal hanya Allah saja yang tahu niat kita sebenarnya...

Apapun, kita niatkan saja apa yang kita buat tu kerana Allah pastu dan kita tawakallah padaNya serta jangan lupa berdoa agar kita dijauhkan daripada sifat riak.

Walluhua'lam.

Parenting

Parents are not just produce a new generation, but they must be able to manage the children and fullfil their needs because they are our investment for future benefits either to this world or eternity.

Why I said like that? Because lot of parents do not know their actual responsibilities. They always made mistakes in developing their children. That is why nowadays we can see lots of young generation have no manners, no vision, no self esteem...etc.

So, parents have to play a huge role in order to build a good generation. First of all, to be a parent, we must have a knowledge about parenting. What it is about? It is about how to care, teach, love, motivate and face the children. In this effort, patience is the most important criteria that should be inside the parents.

All effort must be started from the beginning of the marriage and must be in both side, husband and wife who are going to be a father and mother. If only one side, the quality of the children is not good as what as expected.

To those who are getting married, please look at yourself either you have prepared to become a mother or father. Without a proper preparation of mentality, physicaly or financially, you will spoilt your next generation development. Environment is another important factor to be considered in raising children. It might involve neighbourhood, home or family members influence.

Our former parents did not have enough knowledge about parenting. So, we cannot 100% follow their way eventhough all his/her childrens was a success. This is because their time was different with ours. That was why a Prophet Mohamad said "teach your children by follow their period of time".

As a preparation, gather all the tips about developing the children as much as you can either from books, magazines, newspaper or internet. Then, try to implement all the tips to the children and see the result. If there still a failure, pray and leave it to Allah.

1st day of Ramadhan

After 2 days I didn't post anything.. today I'm going to share my story about my 1st day of Ramadhan this year....

1st time 'sahur', I didn't cook any special dishes since I was tired back from Melaka. We just ate the Ginger Chicken, Kangkung Belacan and Ikan Caru Goreng which were still had balance after lunch. Unfortunately, we woke up a bit late...about 5.15 a.m. while Imsak last at 5.38 a.m. My 'Mak' kept on wondering why she didn't hear her alarm which was set up by Abang....I also wonder.

Right after sahur, Arif woke up and I had to breastfeed him till he back to sleep so that I can solat. After that I watched TV until 8 a.m. before continue sleep with the kids till 10.00 a.m.

After the kids woke up, I had to entertain my kids' needs as usual ...breakfast, take bath, read Muqaddam & playing.

3 p.m., while Arif slept, I prepared foods for fasting break. I did Curry Noodle, plain rice, 'ikan gelama goreng' & peria fried with egg. Abang went to Bazar Ramadhan bought 'kuih talam suji'(my favorite) & curry puff.

After fasting break at 7.15 p.m., Abang brought Hakim to the Mosque for Tarawih prayer. Hakim was so happy after back from Tarawih prayer but it was not because his solat but he met a new friend and played around.
