Ok, i'm going to keep cool even though I'm tired and sick of all these endless 'caci maki' on FB.

The GE 13 results were out, though I must admit that I was a little bit disappointed, but...

 Let's face reality.... and perhaps this is what's best for our country...

I believed there's a hidden hikmah behind everything that had happened.. Just keep believe in that.. There's no need for name calling, kutuk mengutuk, caci maki etc etc.. So sad to see all these...

And if there really was a foul play, let's leave it to God...

As for now, lets move on and help Malaysia for betterment.

How?? Begin with our family, our children, our nephews, nieces, friends etc etc.. (",)

PEACE to everyone!!

Lastly....

This is my latest piano cover....

This song, to me, is so beautiful... It's not a new song, I listened to it a long time ago, and I've always loved it, but... I had never quite felt it at heart, it's just one of the songs I used to love...

But recently....

In my effort to learn more about Prophet Muhammad SAW, I listened to this song again, and my heart wrenched with sadness I couldn't describe...I realized for the first time how ordinary he was and yet extraordinary... How soft and yet so strong... And it's as if I could feel, really really feel his love for all of us.. 

And everytime I played this song on piano, tears welled up in my eyes....

It's just beautiful and sad....

Listen and read the lyrics carefully...

A 3in1 Recipe (",)

Salam...

Today just wanna share this simple recipe which turned out to be a 3 in 1 recipe..

Meatballs ala-ala Ikea + Meatballs with potatoes and also daging burger...

The taste is good, I can assure you.. Trust me (",)

So, let's layan the Recipe (",)

Ingredients needed:

~~ 1 Teaspoonful Black Pepper (if you like it hot, you can add more)

~~ 1 Egg

~~ Approximately 4 Tablespoon Flour.

~~ 500g Minced Meat.

~~ Salt, sugar to taste.

Methods:

~~ Blend onion, garlic, ginger and black pepper with only a little bit of water.

~~ After you've done with blending, pour half of the mixture into a bowl containing the minced meat.

~~ Add egg, flour, salt and sugar into the bowl.

mmmmm... sedikit selingan sempena Pilihanraya hehe..

Yesterday, I saw this photo on my brother's FB wall...

It was uploaded over a week ago, but only yesterday I'd noticed it.. huhu...

Ini lah akibatnya kalau malas ber FB...

This is my mom's house in Gombak... (",)

RINDUUUUUUUUUUUU....

Way to go mom... 

I'm not a fanatic supporter of any political parties, but I'm a supporter of any efforts in Making Malaysia a real Muslim Country~~

A real Muslim Country...

And of course, people might say, they use religion as a basis to get what they want...

But not him..

And I adore him....

Regardless of whatever political inclination you have, you cannot deny the humbleness of this man as a leader, and his influence to Malaysia and Kelantan specifically... 

"When there comes the help of Allah and the Conquest, and that you see the people enter Allah's Religion in crowds, so glorify the praises of your Lord, and ask His forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives.." Surah An-Nasr.

Something To Share (",)

Salam....

When Afeef was little, he was often so enthusiastic to help me with house chorus, like sweeping the floor, cooking, cleaning the toilet, washing the dishes, preparing his own milk, etc etc and I remember all these distinctly....

But problem was, I had never really let him, because instead of actually helping me, he often ended up leaving a huge mess for me to clean up :D

So, I chosed to just do everything myself because I didn't want the mess...

What a huge mistake!!

When I met my mom last time, mom reminded me again about this. Mom said, 

"Don't do EVERYTHING for the kids.."

"Let them do things themselves!"

Oh so true.... 

There's always something I get every time I meet mom... and thank God I still have a mom who'd constantly reminded me of the right thing to do..

So, my new mission now, to make sure the kids are able to do many things themselves...

Have you ever heard of a saying that goes like this~~

~~It is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings~~~~

How come I've never realized this before???

I keep doing things for them from A-Z when they are actually capable of doing things themselves, like clean the room, make the bed, wash the dishes, etc etc...

But..... it's never too late! 

So, by far, they started washing dishes themselves... I never had to remind them about this again (",)

Fatini always enjoys this task, errrrrr... actually she enjoys all house chorus hehehe...

They helped me in the kitchen, cooking, baking, usually I don't have to ask for help when it comes to baking and cooking, memang berebut nak tolong hehe.. 

Then ada la kejadian yang tak diingini, berebut itu, berebut ini, tepung tumpah, macam2 lagi... mama sabar je.. huhu..

Sometimes, I even wished that nobody noticed that I was baking haha!

Because Fatini and Aleena are sooooo into baking, so Afeef had to give in most of the time letting them do the jobs (",)

mmmmmmmmm..... (",)

Pancake, everyone's favorite!

Some tips: To have a fluffy pancake, use Self Raising Flour. 

Eh tertukar topik hehehe..

Today, little Aleena helped me with 'ikan bilis'....

I didn't ask for her help, she offered to help (",)

If I were still the same old me, I wouldn't have let her you know.. I would tell her to go play her toys!

But with this new mission and motivation, I felt so happy to let her help me with the 'ikan bilis' even though I was a lil bit worried about her mischiefs hehe...

So I let her.....

Though, after a few minutes......

mmmmmmmmm.......

It's ok lah hehehe... if we wait for everything to be perfect, by then, they won't be so excited to help with house chorus anymore...

They are just kids after all, kids are creative..... 

You'll see their creativity in everything they do... so, don't scold them,  just let their creativity grows... encourage them whenever necessary (",)

Yesterday, while I was in the bathroom, they cleaned the whole house without being told to do so... 

Wow, I was impressed!

Errrrr..... 

Rupa2 nya letak semua dalam kemah ni hehehe...

Patutlah pantas haha!

But, it's ok, those effort that matters to me, I still hugged and praised them for what they did hehe..

And, so far they made their bed themselves every morning without fail..

So happy to see this (",)

They remind each other, there was one morning I heard them waking up, they ususally chit chat a little before they got out of the room, and then I heard Fatini said,

"Afeef, kemas katil dulu..." hehehe..

True, kids are special in their own way....

So, to all mommies out there, especially housewives, your children tend to depend so much on you, because you are with them at home 24 7, and you tend to do everything for them too, thinking that you should because that's your job... but actually, it's not....

It's your job to teach them to be able to do everything themselves, to educate them, talk to them, tell them stories, remind them of the right things to do in life, correct them when they're wrong, listen to them when they have something to tell, (even if they talk about Power Rangers ke, Powerpuff girls ke, Luigi's Mansion ke hehe), care for them, love them, hug and kiss them everyday... when they start hiding things from you, that's when you have to bring yourself closer to them...

And you know what, it's quite fun talking to your kids, listen to their stories bout kindergarten, bout school, bout their favorite stories, while folding the clothes, while drinking together.. (",)

It's a moment we should cherish as a mom...

Don't miss every moment of it (",)

Most importantly, praise them, hug and kiss them for everything good they'd done, that way they feel appreciated and they will want to do more (",)

Lastly....

Yesterday, when I fetched Fatini from Kindergarten, she'd excitedly showed me the card she'd made for me (",)

She drew me (see this pic above) in red clothes, I was touched for she's aware of my favorite color...(",)

And later she apologized because she didn't know how to draw me in hijab hehehe...

And she asked,

"Berdosa ke gambar mama tak pakai tudung?"

hehehe... so innocent....

This kind of card perhaps means nothing much to us, but it means a lot to them.. 

Well.....

Every single thing means a lot to them...

Sometimes we were so uncertain about what the kids want, what they need, how they want to be loved? 

We were once a kid too.... what did we want?

Spring Mood... (",)

Since I'm the type who don't mind living in a place where there's not many Malaysian around, and that I prefer to be alone most of the time, (so that I can read or listen to my kids talking all the time phew..), I realized that living in Germany is actually a true joy....
And that leaving all these behind is gonna be hard for me..

Already, at some point, the idea of leaving Germany for good brought tears to my eyes...

It's Spring now.... 

And I love Spring so much, flowers bloomed everywhere, people eating, drinking, having picnic under the sun... 

The atmosphere is full of merriment..

Just imagine after months of dark, gloomy days, suddenly the sun appears so bright, how exciting that is... everyone's craving for the sun!!

I love the sight so much....

I myself feel like flying, floating, rolling on the grass, jumping, dancing all at once hehe...

So beautiful...

Even Daisies look extraordinarily beautiful... ***sigh***

This year's Spring terlebih 'feeling' sket, because perhaps this will be our last Spring.. 

mmmmmmm.... last Spring in Germany la kot...

Taktau la kot kot ade Spring kat Korea ke, Jepun ke lepas ni hehehehe!

Ok lah, that's all for now about the beauty of Spring, more updates later insyaAllah..

Till later....

~~One of the best feelings in the world is knowing your presence and absence both mean something to someone (",)~~

Tetibe jer... hehe..
