Kadang kadang kita rasa tak sabar dengan ujian Allah. Lupa pula kita ni hamba Dia. Hari tu ada terdengar dari slot Tanyalah Ustaz tv9. Ustaz apa x ingat. I like his quote. Kita kena bersabar dengan ujian Allah sebab Allah laaaaaaagi banyak bersabar dengan karenah kita.
Last 2 weeks we went to Sushi King–to get Takoyaki. We were sitting at the sushi-conveyor-belt bar. They are having unagi promotion for the entire month of August. While waiting for the takoyaki, we grabbed some plates. One of it was Unagi Pirosiki. Super yummy. I asked my husband to taste it. He said he doesn’t like it at all. I feel frustrated. It was my first time liking an unagi sushi. Like,something excite my taste bud. A firework in my mouth and tummy.
Today, while doing baju raya hunting, I entered Sushi King again. Want to do take-away lah kononnya. The manager welcomed me and asked me politely “Yes ma’am, may I help you?”
“Er, can I do take-away?”
“Of course. What do you want?”
“I want to order one of your unagi which is on promotion”
“Er, actually it’s not halal”
My eyes enlarged twice than normal.
“We already put a notice when we realized they put in some alcohol during the process. It’s less than 0.05%”
I looked at the notice. It’s not Unagi Pirosiki. Maybe what she meant was the slices. Haish. Should be more alert next time.
Then I tapau okonomiyaki instead. T_T <--coverlah tu
Pertama kali saya menonton teater di bumi Johor ini. For quite a long time, I haven’t watch any theater. Alhamdulillah, saya berasa gembira dapat turut sama menyaksikan teater anjuran Waqaf An-Nur (JCorp). Saya kira teater Waqaf An-Nur mendapat sambutan yang sangat menggalakkan kerana kehadiran telah mencapai angka 3 ribu. Harus saya ucapkan tahniah kerana berjaya menganjurkan teater ini. Ramai yang dahagakan teater islami sebegini. Kita sudah muak dengan hiburan dan suapan hedonisme. Continue reading
We believe in destiny because we met because of the destiny.
If you haven’t watch “Slumdog millionaire”, I highly recommend that movie for you. It was inspired by a novel (Q & A by Vikas Swarup), produced using low budget. The actors are using British accent (with some mixture of Indian accent as well) and they are not A-list actors and actresses, mind you. They are from slums and nobody. But the movie have become a phenomenon in any cinema worldwide. This movie is discussed widely, because of its’ religious issues, poverty, romanticism and all. This movie is worth to be watched many times and in case you want to buy the original DVD or Blue-ray disc. I give three thumbs up for this movie! Continue reading

Ramadhan kian usai. Blog ini akan bercuti buat sementara waktu. Di kesempatan ini, saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri buat pembaca blog ini dan semua yang mengenali diri ini. Segala kesilapan bahasa, tutur bicara, harap dapat dimaafkan. Saya adalah hamba yang penuh khilaf dan kelemahan. Yang tak pernah lepas dari melakukan kesilapan. Andai terlajak bicara, terkasar bahasa, ada entri yang tak enak dibaca, segalanya datang dari kesalahan saya jua. Hamba yang hina.
Terima kasih buat bloggers yang rajin menulis entri yang menyentuh jiwa saya tiap kali membacanya. Walaupun tiada masa untuk menitip di ruang komen, ketahuilah bahawa saya pembaca setia anda. Mudahan Allah akan memberi kalian semangat untuk menulis. Mudahan ilham yang Allah berikan dapat dirasai bersama.
Terima kasih jua buat silent readers yang tak jemu mengungi blog ini (melalui IP address anda yang berjaya direkodkan. Yeay!) walau tiada apa yang dapat saya beri melalui tulisan saya. Sedikit sebanyak pengalaman yang ditimba, akan saya cuba kongsi bersama. Terima kasih atas kunjungan dan sokongan kalian.
Ramadhan has come back. Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome). So does telekung. One can see women wearing it usually after dawn. They will wear it to go to mosque for isya’ and tarawih prayer. I used to have cotton telekung but nowadays, textile technology has produced sunwashed fabric, which is much lighter, easy to clean and pretty opaque (when I used cotton telekung, I have to wear something inside or the telekung must be layered).
During the pilgrimage (hajj) season hajj pilgrimage , telekung is the garment that sets Asia Pacific women apart from the other women. It’s almost similar to Afghan’s burqa, but different in terms of its cut and design. Telekung comes in white, carries the angelic, purity and obedience image.
It can also be a gift from the groom to the bride (hantaran) which symbolically send the message, “be a good servant of Allah and a faithful wife”. It is usually chosen as a gift because it is easily decorated and at times, it can be creatively made into the shape of a flower, or a hand-held fan.

Hari yang agak terkocoh-kocoh. Tiada afternoon nap (-_-) tapi dapat belajar banyak perkara.
Mulai dengan menonton filim cetusan dari novel Habiburrahman El Shirazy yang ngetop. Premier di Malaysia namun tidak mendapat sambutan ramai. Hall dipenuhi seramai 20 orang. Adakah kerana ia berunsur religius, interfaith atau islamic membuatkan ia tidak mendapat sambutan? Atau telah ramai yang nonton versi bajakan? Kenapa kita bisa nonton filim religius seperti Constantine, Da Vinci code dsb? Mari kita fikir.
Kemudian bersiap diri ke Akademi Al Quran. Bilangan penonton tak seramai pengunjung konsert Akademi Fantasia. Banyak sangat tempat kosong di PICC tempohari. Namun alhamdulillah. Allah telah takdirkan aku dapat hadir ke majlis ilmu. Aku fikir aku tak mampu pergi kerana kepala aku pening (gara² hall cinema yang sangat kosong jadi cuaca menjadi terlalu sejuk, dan aku pun pening kepala). Tentang ketidak-ramai-an penonton di PICC tu, kita bersangka baik, mungkin mereka menonton di rumah. Rating AAQ musim ke 3 meningkat naik dari musim sebelumnya. Wow. Alhamdulillah. Orang dari negara Singapura juga datang tempohari, untuk bersama-sama memeriahkan majlis. Nampak ramai juga pelajar dari maahad tahfiz dan asrama. Mudahan kalian juga berjaya melayakkan diri ke AAQ nanti. Prektis dari sekarang. Mane la tawu~ hehe.
Tahniah diucapkan kepada semua finalist. Mudahan ramai lagi yang bakal mengikut jejak langkah kalian. Tidak dapat dinafikan, AAQ lebih susah dari AF. Latihan sejak dari kecil, mampu membentuk juara seperti Fahmi, Anuar Hasin dan Fakhrul Radhi. Aku? *grumble*
Finally, dapat berjumpa Kak Farah yang diminati. Hehe. Sebenarnya sebaik sahaja lepas majlis, semua yang telah kerja kuat untuk AAQ ada press conference. Tapi ramai nak sesi bergambar dengan Kak Farah, juri dan finalis. kak Farah janji dia akan kembali keluar ke plenary hall after PC. Memang ramai sangat nak bergambar solo dengan kak farah. ya allah. takleh nyelit lagi. takpele. janji dapat salam
Tahniah kepada encik Fakhrul Radhi kita. cewah. dapat Proton BLM ye. jeles ai. Mudahan dapat lagi banyak syafaat saham akhirat bila anda telah membuatkan orang seperti saya tersedar dari lamunan tidur. Ehehehe.
Pictures? later Insya Allah~ 😛
[Sebab Kak Mass menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu dengan harapan akan memperbaiki bahasa ibunda, maka saya pun berniat yang sama]
Mak selalu suruh saya belajar tajwid supaya bacaan saya betul. Mak lambakkan buku-buku tajwid konservatifnya di depan saya. Tapi buku-buku itu ada yang ditulis secara tak menarik (maklumlah, saya orang yang unconventional). Terus terang saya katakan, saya tak pernah lagi belajar secara formal selepas meninggalkan sekolah. Dari sekolah rendah lagi memang fail bab tajwid. Tapi bila tasmik (perdengarkan bacaan), boleh lepas pulak. Hee. Kalau lepas ni ada offer bagus untuk belajar Quran dan masa mengizinkan, Insya Allah saya akan pergi belajar.
Oh, berbalik kepada tajuk entry. Kenapa Quran geek? Penggabungan Quran dan teknologi akan memudahkan orang-orang seperti saya (baca: geek) belajar tatabahasa Al Quran. Ada suara kecil bertanya “buat apa nak belajar tajwid Quran? reti baca cukup la”.

Many successful CEOs, executive managers, businessman, etc took ESQ course and change their life. ESQ (Emotional Spiritual Quotient) is not a new thing. It’s just that we’ve forgotten about it. It’s already been created 1400 years ago. ESQ is for everyone and it takes place globally. Regardless what religion you are. ESQ is a new way of life. Imagine how great these people. They even gave talk to the professors at Oxford University. (And there are numerous fascinating numbers and statistics being shown yesterday but I failed to stuff my head with everything–I’m just a weak human 🙁 ). The numbers of alumni members simply is getting bigger, globally. Their alumni members is not common people. Like I said, businessman, rich and famous intelligent people. The company who wants to do staff training and improve human resources send the staffs to ESQ talks. And I’m not talking crap. There are thousands people gave good testimonial about ESQ and probably now the number have reached millions.
ESQ is the new trend (Among elites and rich people for this time being). Why do we need ESQ? We only realise this when at the end of the day, we don’t know why we accumulate our properties, dollars and so forth. We only realise the need of ESQ in our life, then there are many intelligent people give up easily as they do not know what’s the purpose they are being created.
A glimpse from yesterday’s presentation: The Golden Gate Bridge in the US, is world’s finest architecture, but on January 2008, Mr. Arry went there and tell us the tragic story of the bridge. The numbers of suicide was being kept from the public, however, as the numbers reached 10K, the government decided to put high fence, to prevent people from jumping from the Golden Gate. Counselling line was also being placed on the bridge, hoping to give hope for losers (I call them losers because they quit from life). It’s no longer be the symbol of the greatness of United States. They are considered successful nation, but how many lead life peacefully and happily?
Yesterday, IPBA had ESQ preview and I don’t have to pay for it. I was so excited to come because I know it costs me 1K++ if I want to join it. (I was interested with ESQ since I watched the videos in Plymouth). So yeah, Mr Firdaus Djambri, gave talk and he is funny. Probably due to language differences (Malaysian Malay language and Indonesia’s), there are some stuffs that people don’t understand. But yeah, thanks to my exposure to Indonesian sinetron and movies, his jokes are understandable. Oh, did I tell you he’s cute? His Indonesian accent as well. Never heard such enthusiastic talk, for 22 years. He doesn’t give up although the crowd shows boring faces.
But what I had yesterday was only a glimpse of it (ESQ preview). Just a sneek peek and to know how great it is, is to taste it. So people, I highly encourage you to go to ESQ talks and experience a better life after that. May Allah bless the efforts of ESQ trainers and Insya Allah, we can make this world a better place and lead a peaceful life in this world and hereafter.
So tomorrow (16 Feb) they are going to conduct a session for university students and they give a very very good offer. You only pay RM 550 once and you can join the alumni and attend the talks as many as you want for the rest of your life. Wow. Very attempting offer but not for this time being 🙁
