Masak,makan,makan dan masak dan makan.......

Tajuk entry kali ni agak pening sebab I sendiri pon pening dengan aktiviti masak dan makan yang tak berkesudahan since I dapat cuti 5 hari utk wabak H1N1 ni..As usual,I memang tak kan lepaskan peluang yang ada waktu2 cuti ni untuk masak for my husband because once I masuk belajar dah tak de peluang dah dia nak makan masakan I..One thing yang I discover after marriage ni,I memang suka masak....sangat suka..tak kira la apa saja menu atau meal time..dinner ke,lunch ke,breakfast ke,tea ke atau snack time..kalau boleh setiap masa I nak bagi my love makan dgn air tangan sendiri..I just couldn't explain why..Perhaps because of the nature or inheritance from my mother..My mom seorng yang suka masakWalaupon dia seorang wanita yang berkerja dan bukan housewife,tapi dia akan pastikan kami makan makanan hasil air tangan ibu sebab di situ ada keberkatan dan lebih meneratkan lagi hubungan kasih sayang sesama keluarga.. and jarang2 sangat kami sekeluarga makan di luar memandangkan my mom tak suka sangat kami makan2 di restoran.Apapon mesti masak dirumah.So bila dah terbiasa tengok situasi mcm tu,I jadi budaya la bila dah kawin,I nak bagi my love makan masakan sendiri..Puas ati woo...
Pengalaman masak-masak ni pulak bagi I memang dah biasa sebab kami adik beradik memang dah terbiasa memasak sejak kecil.Cuma I ni agak lewat pandai masak sebab maklumlah I ramai kakak..Tugas masak-masak ni kakak2 I je yang uruskan..But then bila diorang masuk universiti dan berkahwin, dah tak de orang nak masak so I have to take the responsibility belajar masak.Tapi bagi I tak susah pun..Yang penting berani mencuba dan konsisten..
Well,nak share jugak lah apa menu2 yang I pernah masak semenjak kawin ni..Antaranya,lauk pauk yang simple2 je macam kari ayam,daging dan ikan,nasi minyak,sambal tumis sotong,bilis dan banyak lagi la..My love ni jenis yang tak cerewet bab makan..So Alhamdulilah lah..I rasa lebih enjoy masak sebab dia tak pernah memilih sangat bab makan..So far,I m happy with the cooking and will always enjoy cooking all the time InsyaALLAH...

Manage our money wisely...

Well,entry kali ni agak berbunyi serius as it involves money management..As we know,of all things in this world,money comes first after family..It is a big lie I should say if someone tell me that he/she doesn' have any interest in making more profit or to have at lkeast a small amount of money to survive in this life full of challenges.Atau ade yang kata duit tak mendatangkan kebahagiaan...yup,its tru duit tk bawak kebahagiaan,but then just ponder ,saying that you don’t care about money is a lie, because we all have to care up to a point. Beyond our basic needs it becomes a balancing act to ensure that we continue to care for and manage our money wisely without going overboard in either spending or saving.As we do not know what might happen in the future,then.....saving money is so important for many reasons.In terms of emergencies, it is so important to be saving money. Like our Malays used to say,"sediakan payung sebelum hujan"While no one likes to think about the possibility that they will lose their job, become disabled,(Nauzubillah) or have some other sort of disastrous financial crisis, the fact of the matter is that it happens to people all of the time.
Therefore,as to me...i dah prepare several plans for emergencies..sekarang dah tahun akhir..so it takes me about 7 months to graduate and to enter the work field working as a government servant...Currently,I am receiving a scholarship and that could lessen the burden, but then we need to think of the costs of living nowadays..Harga barang tak pernah turun..Ni harga tiket pengankitan awam dah nak naik...Everything is expensive....nak masuk toilet pon kene bayar....so,the best thing is,focus on the basic needs first.Bila rasa teringin sesuatu I akan pastikan I kaji betul2 harga dan kualiti supaya tak menyesal kalau2 terjumpa barang yang lebih baik dgn harga yang berpatutan di tempat lain..Keinginan kita boleh diatasi jika kita berfikir sejenak secara rasional dan profesional...I banyak membaca buku-buku pengurusan wang oleh pakar-pakar ekonomi yang berjaya.Dulu I ada juga cuba buat MLM tapi tak menjadi sebab hangat-hangat taik ayam jer.....so buat masa sekarang I cuma tumpu pada pelaburan..ada la sedikit pelaburan sebab tak mampu nak buat bisnes besar2an walaupun minat dan keinginan I pada bisnes sangatlah besar...Cuma,buat masa ni I kene fokus pada study dn habiskan Kontrak dgn kementerian dan mungkin pas tu ade la ruang dan peluang yang datang untuk I masuk bidang bisnes pulak..nak tau bisnes apa,kene tunggu yer..

Family Ties..

Al-Qurtubi said:

"The family ties which must be maintained are general and specific. The general one is the relations of Islam. It is obligatory to maintain connections with them with friendly relations, advice, justice, fairness and fulfilling ones obligations to them in the obligatory and the commendable. The specific includes financially supporting family members, checking on their condition and overlooking their mistakes."

Cutting family ties which should be maintained has serious consequences in this life and in the hereafter. It is one of the worst of the major sins.

Allah says:

'Those who join that which God has Commanded to be joined, and have awe for their Lord, and fear the constraint of the reckoning.' (Ar-Rad:21)

So let's obey Allah, let us keep our blood ties. When you come to think of it, that's what we need nowadays and forever, maintaining family ties is what implants inside us the sense of stability and spiritual peacefulness. Let us stay close to our families and our relatives.

Why do we read Al-Quran?..

Why do we read Quran, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word? This is beautiful story, please read till end and forward to all you knows...

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qur'an. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked,
"Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,
"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

The grandfather laughed and said,
"You'll have to move a little faster next time,"

He sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said,
"I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough,"

He went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said,
"See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?"

The old man said,
"Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

"Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and outside. That is the work of Allah in our lives."

Moral of the story : Read Al-Quran frequently as it will purify our heart. When we have pure heart, it is easy to do righteous and leave jahiliyah and badness in ourselves.

The important of silaturrahim...

The above entry is about the importance of maintaining silaturrahim among kinship.BasicallyI know from experience (22 years old over so far) as well as through my observation just how close, even magical, relationships between brothers and sisters and parents can be, but I have a different take on the reason. From a child's perspective, I think what's uniquely important about a silaturrahim is that it is long lasting and it gives us strength as well as confident to face the hard time in life.People say'air dicincang tidak akan putus' dan begitula hubungan persaudaraan walau terpisah jauh sekalipon tetap tidak akan pupus dan luput dari ingatan.Therefore in my personal view,maintaining Silaturraahim (Family Ties) is an Islamic obligation and it need to be taken seriously into account."Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him maintain the bonds of kinship." [Sahih Al-Bukhari] Besides, another hadith explains further the reason for this: "Allah's mercy will not descend on people among whom there is one who severs ties of kinship." [Baihaqi, Shuab Al-Iman]Therefore,we should obey Allah's rules that we need to maintain good relationship among kinship.Sesungguhnya Islam adalah agama yang terbaik dan amat menjaga umatnya terutama dalam hal2 kekeluargaan dan menjaga perhubungan baik sesama kaum keluarga dan sesama islam..Wallahua'lam..segala yang baik datangnya dari ALLAH dan segala yang kurang baik adalah kelemahan saya sendiri...

Cita-Cita sejak zaman kanak-kanak..

Tajuk entry saya kali ini macam karangan budak darjah 2. hehehe,,tidak mengapa la kerana saya tetap ingin berkongsi pengalaman mepunyai cita-cita yang banyak yang sering bertukar-tukar semenjak dari kecil lagi...Sejak berumur 6 tahun seingat saya saya sudah mempunyai cita2..nak tau apa cita2 saya yang pertama?saya pernah bercita-cita untuk menjadi seorang perdana menteri wanita pertama kat Malaysia..semuanya gara-gara taksub dengan kepimpinan Tun Mahathir.yerla kan waktu tu budak2,rasa kagum la dengan pm kita waktu tu dan kat tadika pon cikgu selalu berkobar2 pesan bila besar jadi la orang yang berjaya macam perdana menteri ke,doktor ke peguam ke..But as long as I could still remmeber the first profession that came out on my mind at that particular period of time was prime minister..I just couldnt explain why it was such a great job for me perhaps because of the credibility as well as the popularity that makes me really interested.hahahha..budak2 kecik lagi time tu..ingat sennag ke jadi pm..then,my ambition keep on changing to become a lawyersebab suka tengok cerita fight kat court,then police,architect,doctor...dan I pernah ada cita2 nak jadi DJ radio sebab obsessed dengar radio..dan I ade sorang kawan ni dia kata dia pernah ade cita2 nak jadi polis Hong Kong waktu dia kecil dlu sebab obsessed tengok filem2 citer polis Hong Kong..hahahha..kelakar sungguh...But there was no "teaching profession" listed on my career list.hahhaha..just imagine tetiba I boleh decide to go into teaching profession sedangkan tak pernah ada cita-cita pon nak jadi cikgu or tenaga pengajar..Itulah putaran hidup namanya..sesuatu yang tak disangka seringkali mendatangi kita..Apapon tak salah ada cita2,at least kita mampu ada cita2...walaupon tak mampu nak gapai..daripada tak de cita2,lagi tak de apa2 nak gapai...

Khasiat Kurma..

Apakah khasiat buah kurma yang kita selalu makan especially when it comes to Ramadhan??Actually,buah kurma ni terlalu banyak sangat khasiat dan zat2 yang mampu meberi kekuatan kepada tubuh badan manusia.Dari segi khasiat,kurma amatlah kaya dengan zat besi dan ia sangat sesuai dimakan, terutama bagi wanita sedang haid dan orang yang mengalami masalah anemia (kekurangan sel darah merah).Selain itu kandungan gulanya mudah diserap badan dan memberi tenaga segera apabila berbuka puasa. Sebab itu la,kita disunatkan berbuka dengan kurma terlebih dahulu kerana berbuka dengan kurma membuatkan kita berasa cepat kenyang dan secara tidak langsung mengelakkan kita makan secara berlebihan.erm..Bagus kan apa yang islam ajar....
Furthermore,kandungan potasium di dalam buah kurma pula penting untuk sistem saraf yang merangsang daya ingatan, membangkit nafsu kelamin (aprodisiak) dan meningkatkan sistem pertahanan badan khususnya untuk mencegah barah buah dada dan rahim.
Dan kepada ibu2 mengandung,Kurma juga boleh membantu memudahkan proses bersalin dan mengecutkan rahim kerana ada bahan boleh membantu proses berkenaan, sebagaimana dilakukan Maryam as yang memakan buah kurma selepas melahirkan Nabi Isa as. Jadi kawan2,marilah kita manfaatkan kebaikan dan khasiat yang ada pada buah kurma ini dan ajdikanlah ianya amalan makanan seharian kita sebagai muslim supaya badan kekal sihat utk melakukan amal ibadat..Wallahualam..

Khasiat Kurma..

appreciate....be grateful to ALLAH...

Salam...what does it mean to be grateful?
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Something I received from someone I love for Allah’s sake…

Read. Ponder. Pass it on.

When one reflects upon the bounties that Allah has bestowed on him, and how little he is thankful for them, he becomes ashamed of asking for more because of how much he has attained thus far.
