Takut

Bismillah

Tahun 2011 dah banyak benar cerita2 hantu.. Dari yg main congkak, jgn pandang belakang, jgn pandang belakang congkak smapilah kubur berasap ke apa ntah...hehehe..saya bukan pengikut setia di pawagam, crita transformer yg bung bang bung bang pon saya tidor, ini kan pulak crita tak de moral of the story sgt..hehehe

Cukup2lah tu tahun lepas 2011 dgn crita hantu..smpai raya pon dok tayang crita hantu:)

Memanglah manusia normal tu dibekalkan dengan sifat takut.. Tapi ketakutan mcm mana yg kita perlu jadi kan pedoman hidup? Apa takut yang bernilai pada kehidupan Dan diri kita?

Dua perkara sahaja yang sebenarnya kita perlu takutkan...

Pertamanya, TAKUT BERBUAT MAKSIAT...

Alhamdulillah, pada yang sudah berkahwin mungkin tidak lagi terdedah pada berlakunya MAKSIAT.. Tapi bagaimana dengan sejarah kita sewaktu saat berkenalan, bercinta Dan sebagainya.. Allah itu Maha Pengampun, mari kita bertaubat dengan menyesali, berjanji tak akan buat lagi dan membenci perkara2 tu..mudah2an kita diampunkan....



Keduanya, TAKUT AMALAN TAK DITERIMA

Subhanallah, takutnya kita kalau2 kita syok sendiri melakukan ibadat padahal Allah tidak memandang pon nilai ibadat kita.. Contoh paling mudah, dalam bacaan solat.. Kita mungkin rasa kita sudah arif dalam setiap bacaan.walhal, hukum tajwid kita tunggang langgang, sebutan makhraj tidak betul, dsb...

Kita mungkin dalam tak sedar, sombong pada Allah.. Di dalam solat, kita lengkap menutup aurat dan khusyuk sujud pada Dia, tapi sebaik selesai solat, tudung kita dicabut atau mungkin masih tidak menutup dada yang Ada aset penuh berharga yg layaknya hanya utk lelaki bernama suami, stokin tidak dipakai dgn alasan panas Dan rimas... Sabarlah wahai kawan2 wanitaku, Allah mahu menjaga kita Dan mengingatkan darjat kita dengan kewajipan aurat..di sini mungkin terasa beban, tp di akhirat sana, tak terjangkau dek fikiran nikmatnya balasan Tuhan...

Para suami mungkin terabai Dari segi tanggungjawab sebagai suami atau bapa dalam tak sedar.. Contoh mudah dari segi tanggungjawab mendidik isteri.. Kita masih tak berani menegur para isteri yg mengumpat, yg memakai legging jelas lekukannya sana sini, yg mewarnakan rambut takut2 tidak sah mandi junubnya dsb... Allahuakbar, kita bersaksikan tok kadi menyebut perjanjian dengan Allah utk menjaga amanah isteri sewaktu akad nikah, tapi kenapa tidak dijaga para isteri ke arah lebih baik? Utk menegur isteri, kita dulu patut berubah.. Takkan dah sampai berjanggut bermisai masih pakai seluar pendek mendedahkan kepala lutut kot;) cukup2 lah mengenakan seluar pendek sewaktu zaman sekolah rendah.. Jadikanlah diri sendiri berbeza dengan kanak2 yang masih belum akil baligh;)

Dan satu perkara yg dalam tak sedar, kadang2 kita terlupa check pada diri kita, harta benda kita, Ada tak yang Allah haramkan Dan menyebabkan amalan kita tak diterima? Contohnya kita beriktikaf dengan memakai gelang ke tangkal ke sebagai boleh menyembuhkan penyakit.. Allahuakbar, cukup2lah zaman gelang cincin hikmat dalam cerita zaman lalu.. Di zaman penuh kemodenan makin jelas tanda2 yang kiamat itu semakin dekat, cukuplah kita yakin AlQuran itulah sebaik2 penawar;) tapi atas keyakinan kita juga.. Kalau kita sendiri letak AlQuran secondary option, mcm mana nak rasa nikmatnya AlQuran itu sendiri:)


Jom kawan2, kita semak semula diri kita di tahun baru ni.. Manalah tahu, mungkin ini tahun terakhir buat kita.. Semoga Allah menjadikan kita mati dalam khusnulkhotimah..dengan pengakhiran yang baik...Amin....insyaAllah ...


NOTAKUKUKAKIKU: teruskan mencari kekayaan dunia utk lebih berkongsi di jalan Allah, mudah2an bekalan di sana mencukupi utk kita..Amin

Real age vs emotional age?

Bismillah


I like to think of myself as an independent, well-composed , mature adult, but close friends and family members might beg to differ!

When I'm around them, I'm nothing but giddy-headed, nonchalant and sometimes shockingly unreasonable! They've seen me giggle for no reason, swing my legs when I sit and become increasingly grumpy when I'm nearing bedtime.

But my argument is that I have my fair share of "adult" moments too. Like when I travelled abroad alone... Ok, maybe not! What about when I made the decision to buy a house and car with my very first job salary? Or about how serious I am at work.

So you see, i may not always behave my real age, but I'm emotionally grown-up in some ways.hehehe..

Last week I spent hours with my niece:) she is nine..she showed me her new coloring book given by my husband last year. There were kitty, animals, plants, etc.. I was like being excited to see one of the picture...




And without realizing that I was like, hey, I am ur classmate.let's finish up this coloring book:)

HOURS LATER

Don't u think I juz made a "revenge" because I did not have such coloring books during that age? Huhuhu


Footnote: I was so happy to show this to hubby, but then he juz realized that he should buy for two next time;p LOL

Menjelang tahun baru 2012

Bismillah




Night before New Year , I was still in Penang. Honestly speaking, never celebrate New Year with any outdoor activity. I still remember during my first year in university, my roommate and I insisted to wait until midnite because she was really keen to see the colorful of "bunga api" that can be seen from our hostel corridor. .we tried to stay up by reading, talking to each other juz because to wait 12 am on the dot..

But then both of us realized that we had missed the moment once we woke up at 5 a.m.. Hahaha..Year after, we were separated. I pray she got the opportunity. Me?? Still never...hehehe

But this year, got a bit difference. But it was juz because my hubby ;p LOL..otherwise, might be the same as previous years;p

That nite , Penang CM launched " Hari Pengishtiharan Georgetown as Bandararaya" while waiting the midnite new year celebration.




It was awesome light performance and really colorful everywhere:) so many people gathered near Padang Kota Lama..

Silat team and hubby were invited to perform their Silat as opening event..then they brought " obor" to be delivered to Penang CM as the mark of official launching..




Hubby led the team but the wife was the one who so excited..keh keh.. I tried to capture photos as many as possible. Unfortunately, so many taller photographers crossed me and I I juz have to back off:( poor me:(




Since the team was the first performer, hubby and I decided not to wait until midnite..we had planned to drive back to TM that night. We juz missed our own home after two weeks stayed in Penang..

So still no chance to see people shouting everywhere during midnite. However, thankful at least I know, how people nowadays celebrate their new year. I pray all of us enjoyed the moment but at the same time, started to be better person ahead:)

We arrived safely at our home early in the morning of the new day, new year:) We love to see our pet and planting all are in good health:)

Byebye 2011, say HELLO 2012

Bismillah

Ever get the feeling that time goes by faster as you get older? I remember when I was eight- the whole year seemed to crawl by so very slowly. School took forever to end each day and let's not talk about exams- I thought I'd never turn double digit 10.;)

Now, in my almost to thirties in another year, it's like someone's hit the accelerator pedal and the years are whooshing by. It's 2012 and I'm wondering what happened to the last 12 months!

I am looking at my 2011 to- do list. I've crossed out few things last year;)

I can consider my 2011 as my "nearly-100% wishes accomplished". First of all, I had completed my master degree in August 2011 , however I missed to have my commencement day because it was happened in October 2011. I was still struggling with my thesis by that time. Hopefully, I have the opportunity to make it in this coming September,insyaAllah;) My long- term target of obtaining at least master degree before 30 is achieved:)

I can also considered 2011 as my " Free-debt year" . Those followed my entire previous posts might be noticed. Car-loan, personal- loan and my two-semester PTPTN loan during my degree year was fully settled in early of the year;) Alhamdulillah, I started more stable financial that I shared in few posts , all about the gold- investment;) I am shared not because to announce the world how big my earnings are, but the most important is how we deal our needs and desire. We are the one to control our money not on the other hand;)

Last year I was targeted to MUST-READ new book at least one book per month. The book was categorized as either scientific/ religion/ computer science/ general knowledge etc..Gratefully, I crossed- out almost 3 books per month. More you read, more you need! Trust me:) this was encouraged by having my own " mini- library" at home which was initiated in 2010.



Since I just back to stay at longer period at our home in TM, my target to have a small mini- garden is still progressing:) how blessed to see the planting started to grow and ready to be harvested:) see my kacang panjang;p hehehe..baru sebatang je pon;p






Last year I tried few new things and very first experience like went to snorkeling , late night fishing until I threw everything from my stomach ,hehehe , Penang- Malacca Motorbike Convoy and a series of Silat training with my hubby..it was really awesome although I think people did it at their younger age..huhu..but it's better late than never, rite?



Physically, last year was my YO-YO weight year.. I was like easily chased-out my excessive body weight but then rapidly gaining weight again;( I was so absolutely noticed my biological changes as I turned older:( I was no longer to cope with far-length running as my younger age. Knee- pain started to develop for days:( therefore, I changed my physical fitness exercise by Zumba dancing, static cycling and aerobic. Fortunately, it was fun and worked!

But I am still like not to sure whether to feel woe or just blame my inactivity on spending too much time hurling angry birds at green pigs;p LOL;)

Ok, let's make new resolution for 2012. I would like to accomplish over the next 12 months:)

1. publish another two scientific papers in high/mid impact journal
2. Mecca visit with husband to perform umrah
3. Write a book
4. Attend self-development courses
5. At least 3 times/ week physical exercise and maintain ideal BW
6. Set up my own mini-gym at home;)


got another " more- personal" resolutions, actually:) but let's the main six be the front;)

I wish all of us a fantastic 2012 and a fruitful year ahead of us!

How to be a smart credit- card user?

Bismillah

It's up to personal opinion on the importance of credit card usage in each individual. Some people may totally say NO to credit card as they look it will expose them to unwisely usage especially in term of shopping, which is the most favor:p

For newly- hired employee especially for fresh grad, having credit card in their wallet/ purse may make them feel like " hey man! I am employed and able to purchase anything I want!" and sometimes feel like more apparent in their credibility :) YES/ NO??

My own experience , having my first credit card after made a hire purchase loan from an established local bank in 2007 and still using it presently. I put my situation as the " low- earning" category by that time because I was alert on credit card usage mistakes according to my readings:)

I think that " rule" made me more careful and not being abused by wrong usage:) u know what? I used my credit card IF ONLY I had money;) sound like, urghh, what's that?

I love to swipe my credit card but instantly top - up with cash. U know that when we use credit card, we will be offered to various type of gift including personal item, home equipment, IT gadget, etc when we treat our point? So when I topped up cash instantly after swiping, I will avoid the minimum charge fees whatsoever;) but then get my FREE GIFT:) does it give advantage, no?

That's was being my target :p NOT FOR shopping unwisely;)

Since one of my target in 2012 is to achieve more financial stability, and I have 4 credit cards that I was never welcome:p, therefore I think I should terminate 3 of them and stay only one with me;)

The temptation of keeping more cards is stronger, u know;p hehehe...BAHAYO NI!!

This week I had terminated three of them and received few items after treating all collected points;) alhamdulillah, Yey!
