Sweet Sour Weekend

5th November 2010

As planned earlier in the last month, I'm going back to JB for this weekend not for celebrating the Deepavali Day, but I'm waiting to go to the reunion with my friends on Saturday Night. At the same time, my bro-in-law is going to perform to Hajj, so, May Allah make everything easy for him and accepted his Ibadah InsyaAllah..

HOME always make me happy... A sweet Friday~!

6th November 2010

Something fishy happened, but this time with no bad or nice smell. It just happened in a second. Everything was my own fault...... I'm sorry dad.. I'm really sorry..


Sometimes, there are some lessons that cannot be found in class, school, college and university, but those lessons are more valuable and helpful in facing this challenging life.. Live life to the fullest~! Experience is the best lesson..

However, the Saturday Night changed the sour day into a very sweet day. I'm waiting this day for a long long time ago..... Honestly, I can't forget all memories in my first secondary school in Benut, Pontian. There were too many unforgettable memories and I learned a lot of things especially on what life is all about.. I'm not regret that I was a naughty girl previously in my school, because those days will be never forgotten..

Thanks a lot to Wan NorHanizan for willingly to be the programme organizer. We know that u had a headache but I'm sure that all of us satisfied with the simple gathering and reunion at Banafe Village, Johor Bahru. Simple is the best..

The first person I met was my old BFF. She was the first friend at secondary school known as my best buddy ever. Both of us cried because this was the first time we met after 11 years. Just imagine, 11 years are not a short distance of time. I really miss u Wana and I tried to search you since my undergraduate.. Alhamdulillah, I found u back.. and Facebook is the one who unite all of us back.. Ops! Allah is the one who did that, but Facebook is the medium of our communication..

Zawanah Raimi, my best buddy during secondary school.
She's working as Inspector Police at Taiping, Perak right now.

Honestly, I'm Happy. Yes, we were too happy at that night. We exchanged stories of our life, remembered back all stupid memories and the things that why we hate and love our school. Only Allah knows the meaning of happiness on that night in gathering and reunion with old friends after never met for more than 10 years. Yes we are physically and psychologically changed, but our memory never changed and this friendship will remain forever..

I'm little bit jealous when they brought their own families; husband and children..huhu

7th November 2010

Today, I'm going back to KL. No more sweetness, because when I'm coming to the campus, the thing that I have to think is tomorrow is working day and thesis writing still not finish yet..

But, after Maghrib prayer, my JASAian friends and I had a simple meeting and had dinner together at a restaurant. The last day we met was around 3 months ago. All of us busy with our own career and work, but we still never forget the Ukhuwwah that we build 4 years ago in a path called as "Perjuangan" still remain in our hearts. I really miss those memories.. I miss all our programmes.. I do hope that nothing can destroy this friendship except it was determined by Allah.. Our Pictures can be viewed HERE


**"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget"
I'm tired.... But I'm happy...

"Imtihan" in Ramadan

First Imtihan: Health Condition

I wish that I will not face any health problem in this Ramadan, but who knows that Allah want to give a test as His mercy and love. I got flu and cough. I am not easily infected by virus, but once I got it, it will not easily getting well. In addition to that, I hate to take any medicine, and that is my problem. By the way, I try to control myself for not only use all the time in Ramadan to rest, but feel grateful that the sickness is His Mercy for me, Allah knows all the Hikmah behind this. May Allah grant me a good health for me to perform Ibadah in this Holy Ramadan..

Second Imtihan: Student's Manner

It had been more than a month I'm working at IIC. Of course I learned a lot of things. There are also difficulties and easiness. But the problem is how to deal with all the students. Due to my less experience, I have to mentally prepare the unexpected things to be happened in my classes. And I really need Sabr (Patience) comes together with Ikhlas (Sincerity) during my lecture and convey the important message for each subjects to my students. May Allah help me to use Maw'izah (lesson) and Hikmah (wisdom) with all my students..

Third Imtihan: Jihad an-Nafs

Rasulullah said that all syaitan will be chained for the whole days of Ramadan, but the biggest problem is our own Nafs, especially in performing Ibadah whether Ibadah Wajib, Sunat, or Mubah. I'm sure that everyone of us want to improve the Ibadah Level during this Ramadan, and I'm sure also that some of us succeed and some failed to do that, or succeed in the beginning and failed in the middle of Ramadan. Jihad an-Nafs is the biggest Jihad for a Muslim. May Allah make our faith stronger and never give up to perform our best in this Ramadan..

*Read this entry: Ramadan jangan sampai retak.. a nice one!

Fourth Imtihan: Tadarus and Tadabbur al-Quran

For this semester, I was given a responsibility to teach 5 subjects and 3 of them related to the al-Quran (even though I'm specialize in Hadith), and that was a real challenge for me. So, for each class, I asked them to try khatam al-Quran even once for this special Ramadan, and for those who able to do that, I will give a bonus mark. At the same time, I don't want they just read without understand the content of the Quran, and that is my responsibility to give a good explanation for each subject in order to make them realize the importance of Tadabbur al-Quran, not only Tadarus and Qira'ah al-Quran. Actually, this is also a motivation to myself. May Allah light all of us with the blessing of al-Quran...


**Imtihan mentioned in this entry refers to the Test of Allah, not an examination paper..

Bibik Moden III

Entri kali ini masih berkisah tentang perjalanan seorang Bibik Moden, cuma cara penyampaian kali ini menggunakan beberapa dialog dan situasi yang berbeza. Walaupun ada di antaranya bukan pengalaman sendiri, tapi saya belajar melalui pengalaman orang lain dan pengamatan terhadap persekitaraan.

Dialog Satu

"Cik Saadah, macam mana pelangi tu ada kat awan..??"

Aduh! Soalan ini mungkin nampak senang, tapi saya terpaksa mencari jawapan di minda kerana takut tersalah. Sebelum menjawab, saya terpaksa bermain dengan dialog lain agar mereka khayal dengan keindahan pelangi. Cuaca yang sangat cantik petang itu kami saksikan di dalam perjalanan dari Mutiara Rini (Rumah Kakak) ke Taman Gembira (Rumah Emak). Mereka sempat menyanyikan saya sebuah lagu yang dipelajari di Tadika. Fadwah dengan cepatnya bernyanyi:

Pelangi, Pelangi, Alangkah indahmu...
Merah, kuning hijau, di langit yang biru
Melukismu aku, siapa gerangan
Pelangi, Pelangi, ciptaan Tuhan..

Soalan mereka masih belum berjawab. Saya pun cuba memberi jawapan, "Kan baru lepas hujan, matahari nak keluar, tapi dia sinarkan warna-warna yang cantik dulu untuk kita semua. Awan kan asik warna biru je, jadi Allah nak kita semua tengok ada warna lain yang ada kat langit tu.. Cantik kan...." Semuanya mengiyakan kata-kataku. Hatiku tersenyum lega walaupun itu bukanlah jawapan yang tepat. Saya perlu ulangkaji semula pelajaran Sains di sekolah.. hehe

Dialog Dua

"Cik Saadah, kenapa Ummi & Walid tak balik2 lagi? Wa nak jalan kaki pergi cari Ummi.."

Sudah beberapa malam, saya dihujani soalan daripada Fadwah yang mencari ibunya. Setiap jawapan yang saya berikan seperti tidak memberikan apa2 kesan, malah masuk telinga kanan, keluar telinga kiri. Sehinggakan saya turut merasa kesedihan seorang anak 5 tahun yang mencari ibunya. Malam ini dia menambah ayat di belakang itu, "Wa nak jalan kaki cari Ummi" kerana dia tahu tiket kapal terbang itu memerlukan duit yang banyak untuk dinaiki. Hati kecil saya ketawa sendirian, malah memang saya tergelak kecil kerana kelakar..hehe.. Sebenarnya saya rasa dia tahu yang ibunya akan balik lewat, dia tahu yang ibunya pergi jauh buat sementara, tapi dia bertanya dan terus bertanya kerana perasaan rindu yang membara. Jika ditanya lagi, saya hanya mampu menjawab: "Ummi akan balik nanti, tapi kalau Wa nangis lagi, Ummi takkan balik sampai bila-bila..." Adakah saya kejam?

Fayyad, Fadwah, Hasni
Setiap dari mereka memainkan peranan masing-masing

Situasi Satu

"Berhenti nangis..!! Berhenti...!" Tekak sampai sakit2 menjerit agar anak itu berhenti nangis.. Alangkah baiknya jika suara itu disimpan dan dipeluknya anak itu lalu memujuknya agar berhenti menangis. Kadang-kadang marah itu memang perlu tapi ada waktu2 di mana marah itu bukanlah jalan penyelesaian. Jika dimarah selalu, ia pasti menjadi seperti ubat pelali yang suatu hari nanti suara marah itu tidak akan diendahkan sama sekali.

Situasi Dua

"Ibu sayang adik, sebab tu Ibu tak bagi main benda tu.." Seorang ibu seharusnya menyatakan kasih sayangnya kepada anaknya bukan sahaja melalui perlakuan tapi juga dengan kata-kata. Kata-kata bahawa apa yang dilakukan ibunya itu adalah untuk kebaikan dan tanda sayang yang mendalam. Ucapkanlah kata-kata yang baik untuk anak kerana ibu adalah contoh terhebat yang ada pada seorang anak. Setiap perkataan yang dilontarkan oleh seorang ibu buat anaknya adalah sebuah doa...

Situasi Tiga

"Kenapa lah anak saya tidak sepandai anak dia..." Jangan bandingkan anak sendiri dengan anak orang lain, atau anak yang ini dengan anak yang itu. Setiap anak pasti ada sifat2 yang berbeza. Jika ada kekurangan dari segi ini, dia pasti ada keistimewaan di segi yang lain. Hargai kekurangan dan keistimewaan si anak, kerana si ibu juga pasti ada kelemahan. Jangan menyangka bahawa anak tidak dapat mengetahui kekurangan ibunya.. Oleh itu, terimalah baik dan buruk si anak, dan berdoa agar yang buruk itu dilitupi dengan kebaikan yang banyak.

**Dua dialog di atas adalah kisah benar dan menggunakan watak yang sebenar. Tiga situasi juga adalah kisah benar, tapi tiada kaitan dengan sesiapa, sekadar refleksi kehidupan..

No Perfection

First Situation

A woman. Single and available. A holder of B.A, M.A, and pHD from local and international universities. Succeed in her career. A very wealthy enough for herself and her family relatives. However, her inside feeling is very lonely. She knows that she has everything, but she also has a dream to build her own family and live in a good marriage. Perhaps, her soulmate is not coming yet, or is she too choosy..? hmm

Second Situation

A woman. Married with three children. A holder of B.A, M.A, and pHD from local universities only. A very successful woman in her career. A wealthy woman too. But she lives in a very busy life. Her work is not only in her own country, but travel a lot around the world. She has to arrange her time wisely for her husband and children. And sometimes, she cannot runaway from her family problems throughout her life.

Third Situation

A woman. Married with 5 children. A holder of B.A, M.A, and pHD from local and international universities. She is a housewife for her wealthy husband. She is happy with her position right now. She is taking care well of her family: husband, children, and her parents. Besides, she has no intention at all to work outside of her house unless her family has a very big financial problem.

Fourth Situation

A woman. She is a widow with 2 daughters. She dont had any higher educational background. However, she has her own business and succeed to build many branches of her company in this country. She really happy with her life right now and do not has any plan to find new husband or new father for her children.


**All situations are real true stories.
It can be concluded that there is no perfection in our life. What your plan will not be same will the real one, if it same, it is decided by HIM The Almighty one. Nobody is perfect except HIM~!

This photo is not related to any of these 4 situations.
I love my sisters. They love me too.
May Allah bless all of us..
