Yassin

Its been so long since I last did gathering for Yassin recital at my house..When I 1st moved into my current residential, about 8 years ago, being one of the pioneers, we were a very close knit Muslim community. Closer then we are now. Back then there were about a couple of dozens Malay families that we know of and we only had 1 surau to go. Yassin recital were held almost every fortnightly rotating from one member's house to another.

Over the years as more families moved in and as the Muslim community gets bigger, more surau were developed. Currently, we have about 4 surau within 2-3 km radius (gosh!!! what were they thinking? building too many and too near from one other) Since this happened, drama "pecah-belah" pun bermula. Everyone prefers to go to surau that is near to owns house...can't blame them..

Not really a serious "pecah belah". We were just divided..thats all. Different gangs represent different surau..tu aje..But like I said earlier, now,we are not that closed like we used to be. Since that, program keugamaan like baca Yassin cam terhenti seketika...bukan tak buat lansung, tapi jarang sangatlah didakan from house to house..sesekali tu ada la but mostly kat surau masing2.

So nak dijadikan citer, just recently when I attended one of the weekly religious class, our Ustazah mentioned about it...So , to start d ball rolling, aku pun volunteer lah tuk buat kat rumah...

It'll be held this Fri 27th April. Breakfast menu will be Nasi Lemak. I managed to get this Makcik N to cook for about 30-40 expected attendees. All I have to do is to buy all necessary ingredients that she had listed down a few days ago..amongst other things are beras basmati Faizah "Moghul", cili kering, tamarind etc.

Today aku punye lah sibuk gi pasar malam beli all the stuffs. Letihnyer bukan main...Yesterday went to Tesco for the beras. Hanya satu harapan ini, Semoga majlis itu nanti diberkati Allah..amin.

Assalamualaikum....

What??? I'm writing my own blog now? Can't believe it myself. Tulis diari pun tak pernah seumur hidup. Ahhh..what the heck....there's always a 1st time right?

So..this is my story...about my kids, my passion for cooking, things that I like to do, books that I like to read, apa2 ajelah yang aku nak citer akan ku tulis dalam blog ni.

So.. to begin with...I'm a fulltime homemaker ( homemaker ke? aku cuma jaga makan-minum keluarga ajer, hantar anak sekolah dan kemana-mana lagi lah yang diperlukan...lain2 kerja rumah/housechores tu..Bibik yang buat) anak tiga, Izzat 11thn, Sofea 8thn dan Adib 5thn.

Baru semalam Izzat tanya aku masa dia terlihat aku dok belek2 contoh2 template blog yang aku nak pilih...

Izzat: La....Mama nak buat blog ke?
Mama : Takder lah ..tengok2 ajer.
Izzat: Mama nak tulis aper?
Mama : Entahlah...aper2 ajelah kot..pasal Izzat, Sofea dan Adib.

Well that was yesterday...today..here I am...

I was working in the banking sector for about 5 years and when I gave birth to Izzat in 1996, I left my job to be a fulltime housewife. When Izzat was almost reaching his 1st birthday, I got so bored at home (masa tu aku dok menyewa 2nd floor shop/apartment, punyerlah boring giler, takder neighbour nak borak...yg ramai adalah anak dara dan bujang2 yang menyewa) So I applied and got a job in a multinational oil company. After almost 10 years,I quit my 2nd job end of last year and this time its for GOOD.

So, back to reality...

Hari2 my routine start in d morning, 1st sending Adib to his kindergarden. The other two, my hubby (a.k.a Abah) hantar, school nearby only. Then balik baca newspaper, breakfast, baca email and cooking. At 10.15am gi gym( part gym ni aku citer lain kali)at the clubhouse nearby till 11.30 terus pick up Adib from school. Balik feed Adib n layan.....

Noon, pick up the other 2 from school. Lunch together, relax n continue with their homework. Part ni yg darah aku cepat naik. Actually masa monitor homework anak ni lah yang aku teringat nak blogging....to divert my ANGER....Anger Management kata org...( nanti aku citer lain kali pasal part homework nih)

At 3.30pm hantar Izzat religous school habis kol 5pm. Pick him then at 5.30pm aku lepaskan diaorang kat playground with Bibik. Masa ni lah aku leh relax sket....kadang2 tu aku gi sekali...bukan taknak gi selalu..tapi kat playground tu penuh ngan Bibik2 ajer..I'll be out of place..kol 7.15 kang anak aku balik...mandi, dinner, reading session( part ni aku akan citer kemudian)then zzzzzzzzzzz at 9.30pm.

Hari2 lain schedule berbeza2. Tues ader KoKurikulum...Wed ader piano lesson, Friday ader softball practise, Sat ader Mental Arithmetic,Sunday swimming...fenin aku...esok lusa aku sambung lagi ek...
