To those who are getting married...
I passed through my lil' brother's fb wall and found this one article. Dalam hati terpikir, "Wahhh, budak kecik ni dah terpikir nak kahwin dah nih!" Haha...Well well, good things shouldn't be stopped ait? Ceyy, bab kahwin laju je 'shouldn't be stopped'...kehkeh...*smile*
So, straight to the point - the article is about "Janji Allah untuk mereka yang ingin berkahwin". By reading just the first sentence has locked me to read further about it. Sangat menarik!
"Apabila seorang muslim baik lelaki atau wanita akan berkahwin, biasanya akan timbul pelbagai perasaan akan timbul. Ada rasa gundah, resah, risau, bimbang, termasuk juga tidak sabar menunggu datangnya si pendamping. Bahkan ketika dalam proses taaruf sekalipun masih ada juga perasaan keraguan."
Hoho..I was in THAT position just days before my e-day! In fact, siap ade gado2 sayang lagi the night before the day. Huuu..Good to hear that itu adalah normal!!! Cuak jugak as to why did I have such feelings, but yeah...The devils will always try their best to stop any two muslims from using the right channel right?
Dan kawinkanlah orang-orang yang sendirian diantara kamu dan orang-orang yang layak (berkawin) dari hamba-hamba sahayamu yang lelaki dan perempuan. Jika mereka miskin Allah akan memampukan mereka dengan kurniaNya. Dan Allah Maha Luas (Pemberian-Nya) lagi Maha Mengetahui”. (An Nuur: 32)
The truth: Money is always an issue when it comes to getting married for an average-income person. Betol tak? Kan kan? If you come from a wealthy family, then money won't be an issue usually. :)
InshaAllah I will be getting married soon. How soon? It's yet to be set..hehe.. *smile*
Me and mr fiance, we always discussed how and where do get money to hold for such an event. Haruslah sangat banyak pakai duit! Adess...We would always end up with frustation and no solution.
I've always heard and read about the above verse before this. Tapi mestilah tak ambik port sangat sbb it wasn't applicable to me previously. But when your time has come, sudah terhantuk baru terngadah. Huhu...

Till today pon duit dalam account boleh bilang dengan jari je. Huu…Tapi takpe, I believe, Allah will make it easy for those who have good intentions and I believe in His You should believe the same as well if you’re in my position. :)
Well, that is just one point that I mentioned over here. You should read the whole post here. Sangat menarik untuk dikongsi.

Late Wan...
Al-Fatihah...
Our beloved grandpa, which we called Wan, has passed away last Wednesday. It wasn't a sudden or unexpected event to happen as he was already been sick for quite some time. Apparently, he was diagnosed with a 4 cm brain tumour nearly a year ago. The doctors suspected that the tumour has been there along ago and continued to developed slowly as time pass by. He was also diagnosed with a prostate cancer, which is a typical type of cancer among men in Malaysia. Nevertheless, I personally feel that these were not the reason of his death. He was already in his 80s and it might be that his time has come. Wallahualam...
May late Wan be placed among the believers. Ameen.
Al-Fatihah...

The Engagement...
This is the post about The Engagement which I've promised earlier on. I know it's wayyyyyyy outdated by now. ;P We have been engaged for nearly 9 month already. [Wahhh, that long already huh? Macam tak percaya how cepat masa berlalu ;P...]
So yes, how and where should I start?
Okey.
Things happened real fast and unexpectedly F A S T ! This whole engagement thing started when Mr. S - which is now the "Mr Fiance" - and his parents bought the ring somewhere in early May (if I could remember well) but didn't have the exact plan when to come to my house for merisik or even for bertunang. Then, during the last week in May while I was having a 2-weeks course, Mr Fiance called up and gave me one gooood news - his scholar application was approved! Alhamdulillah...I was so happy for him.
Things went silent and normal not until the middle of June, whereby the parents invited me to their home for a get-to-know-me session. And...the whole scene were set into motion a few weeks after that particular day. They came for merisik, yadayada...and time were set 3 weeks after that! YES, I did typed it right! It was only 3 WEEKS that the preparation was done for the whole thing! How chaos does that sound? Hectic!
And to top it up, my grandmother passed away FOUR DAYS before the event. I remembered it was Tuesday evening when my mother received the call. She was at the time preparing for the hantaran. Luckily, that day I had taken the whole week off to prepare for the e-day. Learning about the news, there was a corner deep inside my heart saying that this whole engagement thing would have to be POSTPONED. I was being real pessimist at the time, I know. Double the sadness!
Anyway, late maktok looked real calm when we arrived at kampung. Alhamdulillah...Many came to visit her prior to her burial. May late maktok rest in peace and be placed among the believers. Ameen...
Back to the engagement story...
The whole event did not happened as to what I have imagined. As a matter of fact, it went wayyyy superb! Alhamdulillah...I felt so blessed that things went out so smoothly despite the last-minute chaos. Everything turned out just so well that when I thought about it, I feel like crying. Seriously! From the dress, to the hantarans, to the caterer, to the makeup - everything fit nicely into place. Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah...Praise be only to Allah! I couldn't thank Him enough for this whole thing.
To cut the story short, let me just sum up how the whole preparations were done.

Engagement dress
Bought the dress materials and ready-made veil at Jakel and I got a very special price for the whole thing. Alhamdulillah...It was just a week and a half before the e-day and I knew that it was hard to get any tailors to complete my dress within a week. Me and my parents don't have any idea where to sent the materials but alhamdulillah again, the Jakel staffs recommended us this one tailor, Shaizan Collection, located at Medan Mara. Yes, they accepted my order and I managed to take the dress two days before the event. I just realised I takade gambar dress itu alone without me in it! Huhu...So for the sake of sharing, here's the picture of me wearing the dress. *shy* it was just a typical baju kurung moden. nothing fancy. purposely blurred the face cause the highlight is just the dress. ;P

Caterer
This was all dad's work! Thank you, ayah! I love you! D'Tandoor's staffs did great job for the day. Thank you Uncle Malik and D'Tandoor! The table settings, the mini stalls and of course, the foods! All were praising for the good foods. Alhamdulillah. As for me, I mestilah tak sempat nak menikmati all the foods tapi takpe, so long as the guests enjoyed the food, t'was good enough for me. =) i really liked the setting!

Make-up
Thank you kak Awin from Seindahwajah! Kak Awin did a real superb job that I fell in love with her piece of work. No regrets!

Hantarans
This was all mum's work! Thank you, mama! Mum did all the hantarans and I did nothing on this part. Let her expressed her creativeness and I dared not touch anything. Well, I've offered my help but she refused. She said that I might just ruined the whole thing. Hehe...So blame me not for not helping her. I've tried at least. ;P She had not had enough sleep for days just to finish up doing all the hantarans. Oh, thank you again mama! I love you!

Mini pelamin
There wasn't any pelamin at all I shall say. Just a small podium to place a chair and some decorations on both sides of the mini podium. This was the last thing that we all did - just the morning before the event! Nothing fancy. Kehkeh...So last minute!!! Thank you to the uncles and aunties for the decorations!

What more eh? Did I miss anything? Itu je kot. Rase macam I dah includekan the necessary things.
Okie dokie. Till the next update. Salam.

Dear Miss SA...
I haven't blog for quite some time. I know I know. ;P
I had a chat with me bestie, Miss SA, yesterday. She felt down and somewhat lonely for what had happened. Well, it's all about this d*mn bloody st*p*d fella! Yes, I am mad with this guy! I met him once (or twice?) but what I can say about him is that he has got a look. Itu yang susah when it comes to good-looking guys nih. They think that they are handsome enough that all girls can easily be attracted to them? That when they have good looks, they can simply ditch girls just like that? Oh, tidak. Not all girls are like that. We are not blind and not THAT stupid to be fooled by your appearance. No offence to those good-looking guys with good-looking heart, but come on! Have some senses ok you people! (people = the good looking guys minus the good-looking heart)
Anyway, this fella simply disappeared just like that *snap* and could be found nowhere. And this friend of mine yang punyalah baik orangnye and treated him real well, jadi lost and terpinga-pinga on his disappearance. This was a story of 2 years ago and he was nowhere to be seen during this period. Invisible! Andddddd...a few weeks ago, he called! He reasoned out that he was mad with Miss SA after he found some random picture of her with another guy, hugging together. What the ...? Even the stupidest people could came up with that excuse hokey! Oh, LAME! It was some random picture, he didn't even investigate it real well, and the worst of all, he didn't even have the effort to clarify things out with her girlfriend (at that time). Oh sangatla childish and immature! Stupid! Sorry darling if you read this, but trust me - stop hoping for this I-dun-know-what-else-to-name-him guy cause he doesn't worth all your effort darl! Not worth it at all.
You are beautiful, girl! Your heart is real beautiful! And you tak jahat langsung k! Don't simply lose hope nor confidence on yourself just because of what you've experienced. I'm glad that you have moved on a bit but getting that previous call should not plant any more hope in you I pray.
I may not be the best person to advise you on this. I wasn't there for you when you need me (blame the distance! hehe..*kidding*), I may not be like any other best friend that you hoped for. Sorry for my weaknesses and sorry for my absence. But honestly, I care for you. I taknak you lose hope or digging your own grave for what I think is not worth it. Again, percayelah, he really is NOT worth it! Stop looking for the past and don't fret. Fretting about it doesn't going to help you, girl. Pray to Him a lot - He's the best listener and planner for the entire universe. Head up straight and be the cheerful, bubbly SA that I used to know. Sayang you SA!

Taqbur or riya'
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA
(EID'UL ADHA TO ALL)
Today's main content for Eid sermon: TAQBUR or RIYA'
There were a lot of reminders that were conveyed during the sermon. Among the contents that I could remember was, there were 7 factors or situations that could make oneself become riya' or taqbur:
- When he thinks/feels that he has a higher knowledge than other people
- When he thinks/feels that he comes from a 'good' ancestry e.g royal family, syed/syarifah etc
- When he thinks/feels that he has better looks than the others
- When he thinks/feels that he is better in terms of the ibadah that he has done
- When he thinks/feels that he is richer than the other people
- When he holds high position in the company or community
- When he has the physical power and strength
If we by any chance belongs to one of these kind of people, it is good to always lay low and remain humble. Just a reminder for us to ponder and reflect upon.
