Beraya Di Komenwel

We all sekeluarga ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada sepupu-sepapats, Pak Busu & Cik Nor yang hadir dan sudi datang ke rumah kitorang last Friday.

TERIMA KASEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

As usual, kawan malas nak masak. Order pizza je... (femalas...) But I thought it would be nice to prepare something simple. Off to pasar Tekka (I lerp going the market da dei!) with ever-helpful Jai, to buy us some good, fresh ground beef & other fresh ingredients as well. Kalau dah pi pasar Tekka, musti nak pekena Chendoi mamak. Fuyoh! Power to the ma'... Mama sampai senyom sinis bila kawan patah-balik for the second round... Ma, gigi mana? Pegi bikin ah...

So, what did I do?

I did Cottage Pie je... Allah, yang simple-simple je, jadi lah... Itu je yang kawan larat... (yek eleh, padahal, FeMaLaS...)

Saper-saper yang datang? First - Tanti, followed by Bomi & Family, LeeKnee & Adisam (LeeKnee bawak kan Rojak Mama, courtesy of Mak Puteh, TIMA KASEH MAK!), Adil & StimGam, Pak Busu, Cik Nor & Diana, AnNaz & Baby Adam & E-klek-tik & Kids. Last but not least, Liana & Khaliesah.

The highlight of the night was a mini berzday celebration, where the Uncle-of-Honour, Pak Busu was asked to lead with the nyanyian of a berzday song. Ya Allah, macam opera lah! It was kelakar, but fun! Everybody had a good time. Not only that, courtesy of Bomi (THANKS Cuzz!), he did a photo montage for me - ada sponsors lagi!!! Little Superstar & Abang Girly Man, Man, Man, Man... Terkojol2 seme ketawa!!!

Thank you all... Thank you so much...

Are We Muslims Only During Ramadhan?


It is now time for us to re-evaluate our Iman. Question ourselves, and in process improve ourselves.


We claim to be Muslims, we claim to believe in Allah, but do we really believe in it with a firm heart, or is it just something we say? We claim to “believe” in the Unseen God, but we see the harmful effects of drinking, clubbing and smoking, yet we don’t avoid them. Ask yourselves that if we don’t even believe in what can be seen, do we really believe in the Unseen? Just “believing” in the existence of Allah does not make us Muslims, Shaitaan also, by the way, “believes” in Allah. We must act like Muslims also.


We must also do in actions that what we say in words and that what we know in thoughts. We say we’re Muslims, but are we really? He is not a true Muslim whose hands and tongue are violent. Several of us stopped cursing and backbiting and lying during the month of Ramadhan, but now what? After Ramadhan is over, should we return to those faults? Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan???


Every Muslim is to pray 5 times a day, every day, and no exceptions. Several of us did that very promptly during Ramadhan. Now, after Ramadhan is over, now what? Should we give up those prayers just because Ramadhan is over? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???


We made duas because we understood that indeed it is Allah who listens and grants. We sought forgiveness from Allah because we realized our faults and felt guilty. We improved our conducts and lowered our voices and controlled our tempers because we realized that a Muslim is he whose actions represent peace and nobility. Now, after Ramadhan is over, will we go back to our same old self? Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan???


We tried our best to close our ears to that which was not permissible to hear, we tried our best to stop our tongues at times when we were about to say something which we are not allowed to say, we tried our best to lower our gazes at sights which we are not allowed to see. Now, after Ramadhan is over, do those things become permissible to us? Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan???


We refrained from going to clubs and watching movies and listening to songs during Ramadhan because we realized these attributes do not represent Muslims. Now, after Ramadhan is over, should we return to our previous lifestyle? Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan???


We were awake at nights, not spending time in clubs or with friends, but instead we were awake at nights to do ibaadat for the Will and Pleasure of Allah. Now, after Ramadhan is over, are we relieved of our responsibilities? Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan???


We refrained from dawn to dusk, not only from the Haraam, but also the Halaal. The purpose of this abstinence was to create patience and virtue, and realize that if you want you can even stay away from the Halaal, so why can you not avoid the Haraam? Sure we can. We just need the will. Now, after Ramadhan is over, can we go back to eating, talking, watching, doing, and thinking Haraam? Are we Muslims only in Ramadhan??????

Fast Faster Fasting...

Alhamdulillah. Diam tak diam it’s halfway through Ramadhan already…

Today is the 15th day of Ramadhan. Wow, how time flies…

Alhamdulillah, for the past 15 days of fasting, I feel good and I feel alright. Yes, I do feel tired at times – but I guess that is normal.

I get a lot of negative ‘comments’ about me fasting in Ramadhan. Many said things like,

“Eh?! Can fast meh? No good, you know!!! Very dangerous for your baby!!!”

“Wahlau eyyy…!!! YOU GILA!!!”

“Better not fast, not enough nutrients for your baby… not healthy…!”

Bla bla bla bla bla…

Before I got so ambitious about fasting, I did ask several people about fasting while being pregnant… I even consulted my gynae.

My mother, my aunts, and some of my friends, they did fast during their pregnancy, many, many moons ago… Why can’t I? What is it that is lacking in me? Will it be harmful for my baby if I fast?

If you read my post below, dated September 15th, hopefully you’ll understand why.

Can, can fast. It’s up to you. If you are up to it, if you are healthy, if baby is healthy, if you are not forcing yourself, if your gynae have given you the go ahead, insyaAllah, we will be fine & well while fasting.

Of course, I am not trying to be a yayapapaya lah… Some of us (I mean pregnant mothers) cannot fast and are not advised to fast.

But in my case, Alhamdulillah, I am healthy – so I shouldn’t be complaining. Futhermore, currently I am only working part-time. Most times, I am home. Apasal takleh puasa pulak..?!
