Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli haal.

Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli haal.

Jangan kerna satu pengharapan yang tidak termaqabul, kita kufur nikmat yang tak terkira.

Rise Again - Day 14th Ramadhan 1434H

If you see in your dream
that I have two faces,
a face in the front
and another at the back,
maybe it's a sign for you
that I know things
that you know not.

When you can see
what is ahead of you
but by Allah's will,
I can see what's ahead
as well as what is coming
from behind.

In reality, I have only one face.
And I don't wear faces
to suit the situation or people
like some people seems to be.

Think again
before you create
another
and yet another
fitna.

Haven't you have enough fun and game?
Isn't it enough that you've served
your colleagues meat for a feast?
Back biting.
Carcass is better for you
if you knew.

What do you hope to gain?
Fame, money, power?
Have you made a deal with the devil
in exchange of worldly goods
and become the helper?

Ramadhan is here.
The month of blessings.
The time to turn over
new leaves.

Allah Hu Rabbi La Ilaha Anta, Khalaqtani Wa Ana 'Abduka ...

Their faces were contorted
and they looked at me
with such a disgust and hatred.
One after another.

I wondered what I've done to them.
Some of them had no dealings with me
what so ever.

The next time they came to apologise.
One after another.
Suddenly they became my best friends.

The eyes are the window to the soul.
Dumfounded at times,
the thoughts that crossed my mind,
I think something negative
must be circulated around about me
and someone started it.

May Allah SWT deal with them all
for I'm without resources
to deal with them all.

Allah is the best protector.
Alhamdulilah 'ala kulli haal.

A Sincere Ramadhan 1434H Prayer - 14th Day

اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّىْ اَسْئَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَ حُبَّ مَنْ يُّحِبُّكَ وحُبَّ عَمَلٍ يُّقَرِّبُ اِلى حُبِّكَ

Oh Allah, grant me your love, and the love of those who love you, and the love of the deeds that bring me closer to Your love

Piñata for Jr's 8th birthday

We made this, Jr and I.

Started a week ahead and Alhamdulillah we managed to complete it in the nick of time.

The making of Piñata came to a full stop when it was raining for 3 consecutive days and only resumed on the night before after Jr already went to bed.

One of Jr's teacher was asking about piñata and I explained about the origin.

Yes, it's the latinos cultural heritage but many Americans have adopted it as a part of their very own popular culture.

I don't think it's appropriate to introduce this as a part of the language and cultural programme tomorrow and sconce or English tea doesn't have enough appeal to me either...

No food for English Booth tomorrow!

#GE13 #dream by Ummabdrahmaan

#GE13 #dream by Ummabdrahmaan

Red rocket is riding on the green wave
while waning twin moon is with luminosity decreasing.

Where are the scales?
By the beach -they are lining up
waiting for the green wave crashing.

When the wave
could be a giant one
gaining strength
turns into tsunami
launching the red rocket
further inland.

The wave turns into foams
returns to the sea.

The twin moon may set
a new day arrives.

The scales maybe down,
broken,
but like spring,
magically pops back up,
gets bigger
marching to battle
the white rocket with the red moon
emblazoned
that has been hastily
erected by the hillside
when they see
the blue scales marching in.


In time,
the rocket fall down
due to unstable footing.

The scales grow bigger,
replicate rapidly,
all over the land.

and you certainly
don't tell a dream
that you dream not.

Aedes Breeding Ground

It was built to be a waterfall cascading down the Bukit Puteri hillside.

Now it is the aedes mosquito breeding ground.

I visited Bukit Puteri on Saturday.

When stopping at the counter to pay for the ticket, I started to notice mosquito bites on my arm and swarms of mosquito hovering over my head.

Realising that I was frantically waving my arm to drive the mosquitoes away, the guard told me that it's lucky that I didn't come in the morning because there were a whole lot more of them during the morning.

It was about 2:45 pm and the sun was shining brightly.

He was quick to add that while the hilltop is under the the state of Terengganu Musem's jurisdiction but the waterfall is under MBKT.

mmm... can't MBKT be fined for breeding mosquitoes on their ground?

Can someone call MBKT and tell them to come and clean up the waterfall or at least send a couple of men to sprinkle some insecticide into those puddles of stagnant water...

Ops! that someone could be me!
