+..Salam Lebaran 1429..+

Dear Friends,

I'm already safe and sound at my Family's humble abode. I have already balik kampung since Thursday night via Air Asia's new Boeing 747 and took a Skybus to KL Sentral.

1. I bought 2 Kek Lapis Sarawak namely Blueberry and Cadbury Chocolate. I also brought back the addictive seaweed springroll.

2. With Mama Ziyyad, we went shopping at OU to hunt for Ziyyad's cool Mothercare and Baby Kiko baju raya. Not forgetting Mama Ziyyad's lovely Hush Puppies sandals and I bought my own um.."forgotten to bring undies" - lots of it!

3. I've helped mom to re-arrange the bulky furniture and supervised the 2 helpers for Raya preparation. (That explained the reddish left eye due to my allergies to dust!)

4. I've bought and eaten the popia basah, ayam percik, nasi kerabu, laksam and murtabak. Courtesy of Bazaar Ramadhan Kl style.

5. I've ignored buying my own baju raya this year. I guess it'll be totally different when you have your own nephew. Anyho, I'm not Baju Kurung/ Kebaya fan. Last year's one still okay what?

6. Alhamdulillah. KL office already couriered the ever important revision letter to me. I've read it with an ear to ear smile. Gawking at the new figures seems surreal to me because I never knew that I would get that figures in 7 months' time. Alhamdulillah. Allah is The Richest of All. He is the Most Loving and Kindest. After all, the figures I enjoyed before my revision are already enough. What Allah gives, are not solely mine. He taught me to share it with the unfortunates (not some scumbags who live by lying and stealing money from the vulnerable woman like I used to!), the orphans and the poor. Allah taught me to pay the tithe according to what I've earned plus helping my siblings if need be. Not to lavishly spend upon but He taught me to be prudent and humble. InsyaAllah, I want to buy my own crib at Klang Valley by next year. God's willing, this will be my next project.

7. Alhamdulillah. After all these years, I don't even worry about why my boyfriend(s) didn't wish or visit me for Raya. I don't even have boyfriend(s) any more (There's no bf in Islam!). To me, if one really serious about me, he will ask me to be his wife proper (not like some psychos who ask for the sake of being an opportunist - seeing me like seeing his cash cow. I'm a human being, ok!). Simply said, I don't have that "feeling" anymore. Takde perasaan to think, to miss, to hope. Nope. Not to say that I've given up but I've 100% faith in Allah, that one day He will grant me a husband that can be my khalif, to lead me as a good muslimah wife and mother. One who will not take me for granted, insyaAllah. Aminn...

So why worry? That's why we can't limit our search (yes, look for it). Open up your horizon and option. Befriends everybody (that's not wrong, you see) but I still want somebody who have a good Muslim character, especially one who won't miss his solat/pay the tithe. With good akhlak and the way he brings himself. My other half who will make a pair of us stronger in terms of Iman, a big asset to Islam as a whole, a pair that produces strong Islamic genes, insyaAllah maybe a Mujahideen and Mujahidah, insyaAllah...aminn... (Did I ever mention one who is rich, with a mechatronics degree, who holds top position? Cause all of these were not valuable at all in the eyes of ALlah). The most important is one who obeys Allah and Rasullulah. Istiqomah and constantly do good for Islam.

Amar Makruf, Nahi Munkar. InsyaAllah. InsyaAllah... amin!

8. I spend my time mostly with Ziyyad and watch Tv with my siblings. That's quality time. The time I missed most when I was in Kuching, alone.

9. Chit chatting with dad about work. I seldom chat with Dad and this was indeed a gem! Alhamdulillah, syukran Ya Allah.

10. I pray for me, my siblings', families', friends' and fellow muslims' goodness. May Allah show me and all of my loved ones the straight path in loving Him and Rasulullah SAW. May Allah forgive our sins and make us continuosly improve our ibadah with knowledge. All the goodness He can gives because Allah is The Richest, who Listens and He is the All Knowing. Amin amin Ya Rabbanal A'lamin.

11. To all who read my blog in silent, who visited and gave comments, who left your shout outs, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Sometimes, I may hurt your feelings and did you wrong without realising. I humbly seek your forgiveness as I am only human.

Happy Eidul Fitri! Salam Hari Lebaran Minal Eidil Wal Faizin 1429 May Allah accept our Ramadhan ibadah, it is indeed a sad goodbye (at least to me) to a month that is better than 1000 months.
