Last Saturday, Mike, our neighbor came over again to have breakfast with us. Of course we invited him over, for we hardly had the opportunity to get together, he invited us once to his place, but we had to turn it down for something else came up...
I've talked about Mike before, HERE , he's one of the kindest person I've ever met...
He's still single, searching for a good woman to be his wife, he's a Christian and very religious, he doesn't drink alcohol, he doesn't go to bars or clubbing, he goes to church every wekend and even has his own Church back in State, he's very polite too, honest, kind and I must say he has it all.. I kinda wish and pray for him that he'll meet the right woman soon :)
He told us once, that he only eats when he's hungry, and stop before he's full..
Wow, that's what Rasulullah had taught us !!
Most importantly, unlike most Americans, who often associate Islam and terrorism, Mike is the other way around... He believes Islam is a beautiful religion and he adores those who comply to the teachings of their religion wholeheartedly...
The last time he was here at our place, I forgot to snap any photos, and last Saturday, I did... There, that's Mike...
He's amazing ok, count my word on that, not only because he gave us the fridge, but he offered helps in many ways possible, like he let us use his dryer or bicycle anytime we desired, (but of course we've never used it haha,) and last time he also introduced us to a website where we can get items for free, and he even offered to get the items for us, coz he has a car and of course he can get inside the Base anytime he wants...
And he also offers to help us buy anything expensive using his name, because that way, we don't have to pay for tax.. isn't that fantastic?
The only think we've ever done for him was offering him our garage for him to use and of course for free and he gave us the fridge later, seemed like an exchanged of items or something, but I truly believed, after knowing him, that even if we hadn't offered him the garage, he would still let us use the fridge...
He's just so concern bout everything...
:)
Look, he even brought this for us and he decorated it himself !! And baked the cookies himself too...
Isn't that great !!??
The kids really loved it !!
Aleena adores him too...
And, I must say, he's very very good with children too... Aleena just can't let him out of her sight hehe..
Then, after breakfast with Nasik lemak and kuih bakar, they played wii game together...
Look at how focused he is... :)
Hahaha, sampai berdiri tu !! And look at Aleena, she copies whatever Mike does :)
And later, he took hubby to US Army Base, and of course one of the best experience for him as it's his dream to get in there hahaha...
And my dream to find this:
I've been searching for Corelle here, almost given up hope, but kalau dah rezeki, there's always a way...
And not just I've finally found it, it's very cheap too !!
The price is in US dollar, it is actually cheaper than that after converting it to Euro.
And also had the chance to shopped there... oh man, Heaven ok...
This Capri-Sonne's price in German's Supermarket is normally 2euro ++, but inside the base the price is only 1.25 euro...
Can you believe it ??
And this huge box of Oreo also, waaaaaaayyyyy cheaper than the German's Supermarket..
No wonder most of my American friends prefer to shopped inside the Base..
Almost everything, way cheaper...
And look, Self Raising Flour !! This one is special, sebab tak de jual kat mana2 Supermarket kat Deutschland ni.. hehe..
Don't ask me why, coz I don't know why hehe
Maybe the Germans has their own way of baking, they prefer baking powder :D
And Pringles's price is twice cheaper than the ones sold in German's Supermarket..
Cool huh...
All items sold here are free from tax, that explains the cheap prices :)
And Mike helped a lot in finding the cheapest price possible for every item :)
And found this bread which is as soft as Gardinier bread in Malaysia. Hehe untuk yang dah ada bread maker tu, bole buat roti selembut-lembut nya, maybe x kagum la kot hehe..
But as for me, who have not yet owned a Bread Maker, and hanya mengharapkan roti German yg selalu nya keras, memang seronok sgt la jumpe roti lembut ni hehe..
Ok, I guess that's all the story I have to tell about our wonderful neighbor...
Sometimes I wonder, do we deserve to have all these? These wonderful people around, these wonderful thing, what have we done to deserve all these??
But hubby said,
"God certainly has his plan, and everything that happened has a reason... We might have been treated badly and hurt by some, and treated wonderfully by some others..."
It's life, so just appreciate and cherish what we have and always always do good deeds regardless to who not because we want something else in return, but because, we love to do it and we do it for Allah SWT...

Awww.. kalau Mike ni Malay, dia dah boleh digelar Lelaki Melayu Terakhir la kan? :) untung k.Nana and family dapat really a good neighbour like him. :)
abis la aleena dah adore mike tuh..chenta pandang pertama gitu..hahaha..btw self rising flour tuh ada kat asia markt..dan pringles tuh kalau tak salah ada yg E471 tau..so kami selalunya beli potato cips yg takde kod tuh..
bertuah akak dpt jiran cam Mike tu.baik pulak tu..:) tak salah pun kan kita berbuat baik dengan orang.
nuurill: iye la ala2 lelaki melayu terakhir, and die ni kira macam lelaki mat salleh terakhir la hehe.. tapi ni mmg betul lelaki mat salleh terakhir, arak tak minum, clubbing, disco semua tak pegi.. and that is soooo unlike mat salleh la kan.. even yg Muslim pun ada yg berclubbing and minum arak bagai.. so dia ni mmg lain dr yg lain la :) and syukur la dapat kawan org camni.
hajar: itu la, aura tu ade smpai Aleena trpikat terus haha.. Tepung naik sendiri ni x de pulak la kat kedai Asia sini, klu ade pun jarang2 and pernah, smpai dah dekat nak expired.. kat tempat hajar best la, semua ada.. tapi x pe la, now bole kirim kat Mike aje :) and by the way, Pringles tu dah cek dah, mmg x de E471 atau ape2 E code... thanx hajar ye sbb tolong ingatkan :)
Ninie: betul tu, memang rezeki jugak la dapat neighbor baik camni, and memang x salah buat baik ngan semua orang, and jugak mesti ikhlas, insyaAllah, Allah bagi yg lebih lagi :)
hehehe okeh la kalau takde E tuh..leh pulun makan kan? heheheh..oo takde kat asia markt ek..takpe la dah ada tempat nak beli ni kan..saya pon jarang guna SRF tuh..kengkadang aje..hehehe
Bagus jiran tu, dia mmg ikut betul2 apa yg terkandung dlm bible. mungkin dia ada kaji bible sendiri dan bukannya folo shj apa yg diberitahu oleh paderi. jom sama2 berdoa moga dia diberi hidayah ttg islam. mungkin akak n husband boleh hadiahkan translation quran utk dia.
Ya Allah, kagum izu dgn buah tgn yg mike bwk tu! Izu igt k nana yg buat taw hehe nmpk yummy lak tuh. Kekeke. Wah untung akk dpt jiran mcm dia, baik sgt smpi bwk pg base ti kn. Murah rezeki akk sekeluarga. :) manatau satu hr nti tbuka pintu hati dia nk msk Islam sape tahu kn? Amin.
dinnie: dia dah pernah pun study a lil bit bout Quran, maybe not in detail la kot.. but he definitely reads Bible regularly... ape2 agama pun, klu penganut nya betul ikut ape yg di ajar, mmg jadi baik la dia.. and dia jugak cakap, ramai sebenarnya US army yg gi Afghanistan convert to Islam..
Izu: ye lah, InsyaAllah, Amin... by the way, cookies tu mmg sedap, and siap decorate bagai.. rajin kan.. terharu jugak haha..
brtuah nye ko dapat jiran baik camni, hepi aku utk ko. God bless ko nana :-)
