Reunion - ITM seniors & juniors

We had our reunion on 22nd June 09 at my house. It was really, really fun!!! Luckily my neighbours did not send the security guards to ask us to stop the noise. Everybody seemed to be talking all at the same time...!!!

Youngest son - Ahmad Zikry Rashid

Orang selalu kata anak bongsu selalu dimanjakan...dan anak tu sendiri pun memang manja jugak...well...memang betul!!!

Zikry was 1 year old when I asked for the final divorce (talak ke 3). He was a baby! Kesian memang kesian tapi staying married will even cause more problems and will even make my children unhappy to see us fight everyday. Zikry grows up without a father's love. Till now his father doesn't really care about him. All he knows is to give money whenever Zikry asked for it! Well...it's better than nothing right???

Zikry is always concern about his hair - it drove me mad at times! He will be the last person to get ready whenever we want to go out for dinner. I have to nag everytime!!!

Anyway...that's the fun of raising (single handedly) 4 boys who have now turned to good looking young men! I am proud of myself and I can't thank Allah enough for giving me the strength to do by myself. HE has never left my side, that...I know for sure.

3rd son - Ikram Al-Rashid

Nama manjanya - Bobo. Asalnya pasal dia ni botak when he was young. My friend Rizal (Fido) decided to call him Bobo instead of Botak. So, melekatlah nama tu sampai sekarang.

Bobo has some characters of my ex-husband which I hated and I want him to change - his couldn't care less attitude drives me to the wall at times. When asked for his favour, it will take weeks...if I am lucky...otherwise, it will take months...My ex used to do this as well.

Many of my friends said he's good looking - of course better looking than his father! He has me to thank for!

How do you think I will look in 10 years time...

I forwarded this cartoon picture to my good friends - Norita and Alinda. I said this is how we will look like when we reach 60 years old. Norita will probably look like the 1st one from left and Ali will definitely look like the one in the middle...

Me..??? I think it could be the last one on the right. What do you think??? Ha..ha...so funny!

Ku temui damai di hati...

Semenjak berhenti kerja 2 bulan yg lalu, masa ku dihabiskan di sessi2 ceramah yang banyak sekali di seluruh Shah Alam. Ustaz kata, kalau di kawasan kita tinggal ada banyak majlis ilmu tapi kita tak pernah pergi pun, hukumnya dah jadi berdosa...

So, setiap hari aku akan ke Taman Kesenian Islam di sebelah Masjid Negeri Shah Alam. Setiap hari ada 2 sessi dari jam 9.00-10.00 dan sambung 1 lagi sessi hingga ke jam 11 atau 11.30 pagi. Ya Allah...aku bersyukur sangat2 sebab dapat peluang ini sebelum terlambat. Setiap hari aku menimba ilmu, terasa diri ni terlalu jahil...macam2 tak tahu....setiap sessi banyak yang aku dapat! Terasa macam budak baru belajar. Setiap pembelajaran amat bermakna bagi aku...

Ya Allah...berilah aku hidayahMu dalam aku menimba ilmu ini...biarlah setiap langkah aku ke sessi ceramah agama ini diberkati olehMu....bimbinglah aku untuk menafaatkan ilmu yg aku pelajari...Amin...Ya Rabbalalamin...

Panduan Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang

I attended 2 sessions of talks/presentations on the Halal Haram dalam makanan oleh Jishah Corporation (http://www.g-shah.com/). Scary...semua makanan yg pernah kita makan disahkan tidak halal oleh Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang.

Buku yg saya kepilkan adalah buku penting untuk semua umat Islam - a must have book at home!!!

MasyaAllah....sedih...marah...geram...semua rasa bercampur baur! Tanda logo halal yang dicetak di setiap produk belum tentu menjamin halalnya produk itu 100%.

Well...kalau nak cerita memang panjang...belilah buku ni kat kedai2 buku (itu pun kalau ada lagi...dengar cerita, buku ni dibeli di semua kedai2 buku oleh giant companies kemudian dibuang. They don't want the muslims to buy this book.

Kalau nak, saya ada stock. You can place your order via my email: miza2801@hotmail.com. Harganya RM25+RM4 pos laju.

Anak kedua - Degil???

Well....Danial is my 2nd son...yes, he is stubborn when he was small and was the most difficult kid to handle. He's so hyperactive...maybe he just wanted some attention from me...or...?????

There have been a lot of surveys done on people who are born as eldest, 2nd,...so on....All of the surveys concluded the same thing - being 2nd in the family make you very independent...strong headed...but caring....

I agreed with all of the above coz I am also 2nd in the family...my son has all of my characters. That's why I have less worries for Danial coz I knew he is a survivor - very, very much like his mum!!!

Gerai "Mee Rebus Pak Chop"

My eldest son, Syafiq Al-Rashid is a cook. I can tell you that he can really cook! I never knew that he has interest in cooking in the 1st place...he has never cooked for me or for his younger brothers before!
Anyway...On 2nd June 09, he now owns a stall at Taman Alam Megah, Seksyen 28, just opposite KFC. He is selling Pak Chop's best selling mee rebus in Kampung Subang area, after 2 weeks training with Pak Chop. So far so good, he sold all of it every night!!! With the support of his friends and mine, I am sure Mee Rebus Pak Chop will be the talk of the town...I can guarantee you that it's really delicious!!! You should try it!

Early Retirement

On the 10th June will be my 2nd month of retirement. I have opted for this early retirement when my former company offered VSS package to the staff.

Initially, it was really a tough decision...being a single mum of 4 growing boys, I thought I will have to work until I die, but when this opportunity turned up, I just can't stop thinking about it. Morever, my 3 boys have turned to handsome men, all of them are working now...I am only left with one aged 15. So, after a lot of turmoil going through my system, I finally filled up the VSS form and submitted.

Thank Allah swt...they accepted it! So, 10th April was my last day with them after almost 14 years of service. Alhamdulillah for the handsome package...at least it's a pay off for all the hard work during my tenure there.
