The most important map of all...

Peta hidup....

Interesting isn't it ??

( got it from a friend on Facebook; Bushra Ismail )

Ringkas tapi cukup untuk menjelaskan realiti kehidupan kita di dunia ni..

Sesuatu yang pasti tapi kita selalu lupa..

Dari mana kita datang and kemana hala tuju kita..

Untuk renungan bersama..

May Allah guide us always..

"Allah, Take us in the best way,

Allah, Guide us every single day,

Keep us close to you..

Until the end of time..."

Sape suke pulut Panggang ??

Ini adalah hasil dari lebihan sepeket serunding yang mak kirim sebelum bulan puasa (sampai sekarang x abis2) + daun pisang yg dah dekat sebulan bertapa dlm fridge, dah kering and layu huhu + lebihan beras pulut yg beli sebelum raya untuk buat lemang = pulut panggang hehehe..

menjadi jugak ler, dapat la dlm 6 ketul and habis licin semua nye.. rasa nya 80% encik hubby yg makan hehe..

ok la, jom layan resipi:

--> 1/2 cawan beras pulut (rendam beberapa jam)

--> 1/2 cawan santan campur sikit garam

-->Serunding daging atau ayam

--> Daun pisang

Toskan beras pulut yg dah di rendam tadi, kukus sampai masak. Campur gaul beras pulut ngan santan sampai rata, sudukan ke atas daun pisang yg dah di layur dan di lap kering. Buat memanjang, letak serunding and lapis ngan sikit lagi pulut and then gulung daun pisang tu.

Balut ngan aluminium foil, and bakar dalam oven selama lebih kurang 1/2 jam - 45 minit.

Siap !!

Senang kan ? :)

Selamat mencuba :)

Let's learn to appreciate...

This is one of my delayed entries, I've been trying to finish writing it but somehow the mood to write is just not there huhuhu....

Something really hit me, let me tell you the whole story...

About a month ago, we went to the Zoo with Florian's family. They had planned to take us to the Zoo long ago, a day before Ramadhan. I think I've mentioned this before in one of my previous entries, here.

Although I felt a bit reluctant, I still appreciate their kindness. It's not that I don't like them, infact I like them very much. The problem is... Communication...

They don't really understand English let alone speak the language and my Deutsch is not so good as well, hehe.. (ntah bile nak good ntah hehe)

So, during Ramdhan, they had rang hubby twice and unfortunately, both times hubby had missed those calls.. I didn't feel bad or anything because I didn't really look forward to the zoo trip thing. Pehaps because I feel a bit awkward around them, you know, with my hentam kromo Deutsch and also sometimes I don't really understand what they were saying :D

To be honest, I did feel glad that hubby missed their calls :(

I'm such a terrible person.. why did I say so..?

ok, let me continue the whole story, two weeks passed after that missed calls that we never returned immediately, but of course we couldn't, because they'd called using their house phone, and the only thing displayed on the cell phone screen was 'private number'. Hubby tried call in Lilly's handy (Lilly is Florian's mom), but unfortunately, he got the number wrong, so we couldn't reach them, and we didn't even bother trying though we knew where they live. It's like we didn't give a damn bout the whole Zoo trip thing..

Then Aidilfitri came and we were busy with everything, we forgot bout them, we didn't even invite them over, we never returned their calls, of course we couldn't do so, because we didn't have their number, but when there is a will, there is a way rite???

Then, I also realized that it was always them who gave us a call... we never even bother huhu..

Then after bout two weeks had passed, I started wondering

'why didn't they try callin us again?'

Perhaps our silence had made them think that we didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore..

Oh no ! Yes it's true that I did feel a bit awkward around them, but I didn't want this wonderful friendship to end...

Realizing this, I told hubby to try watever possible way to contact them. What hubby did was searched for their office contact number, they owned a Clinic because Victor (Florian's dad) is a Physiotherapist, and Lilly is his assistant.

When hubby called, neither of them was around, they had gone home. We let a few days passed, because the coming Saturday was Embassy's Eid Celebration held in Frankfurt.

While we were in Frankfurt, Lilly called again, and asked us if it's possible to make the trip to the Zoo the next day which was Sunday. Feeling guilty for the pending Zoo trip, we just quickly agreed though we were very tired.

Fortunately (like I said before, I wasn't really looking forward to this whole Zoo trip thing) Afeef got a flu on that Sunday and I was so relief that again the Zoo trip had to be cancelled...

I sort of wished that they would just forget bout the Zoo trip :( huhu

Then, we were busy again with Eid's Celebration, we forgot bout them..

Then one Saturday, Lily called again and asked if we could make it to the Zoo that day, and hubby agreed though it was quite a short notice. I was a bit reluctant and mad because I didn't wanna go because I had other plans for that day, but since hubby had already agreed... well, I just had too..

Feeling soooo not up to it, I kept on thinking and complaining..;

"Why la they are so into this whole zoo thing..."

But silly me, I realized later, what a terrible person I am..

Why???

1) They came and pick us up with two cars, pick us up at home ok? Rite at our doorstep !!

2) They paid for the entrance tickets, for all of us !!

3) They took us to a cafe inside the Zoo for cakes, fries, tee, coffee, etc etc and they paid for everything, they refused to let hubby pays !!

4) Then they took us to a nearby funfair and again pay for everything..

5) Then, I've learnt that they've been to the Zoo many2 times, they even have the yearly ticket... What??

So... that's it, that's when it hits me, the whole idea for this Zoo trip thing wasn't for them, but for us, just for us.. they willingly volunteered to take us to the zoo without being asked, it's just something they wanted to do for a foreign people and a friend like us..

Take us to a place where they think would be interesting for us and the kids.. Padahal, why should they bother kan??

But they still tried their best, and I just felt so guilty for whatever feelings I had earlier, for never tried our best to return their calls, for not taking the whole Zoo trip thing seriously... I felt bad... I learnt my lesson..

They are just wonderful, kind, sweet, beautiful at heart, inside, outside, all the beautiful words in the world to describe them, and wonderful people like this, you won't meet everyday, it could be once in a lifetime..

I'm truly thankful for this chance..

I must appreciate them, as much as they appreciate us..

So kind and sweet of them..

The last time I met someone as wonderful as Lilly and Victor was over 10 years ago.. her name was Divvya.. I tried searching for her on Facebook but just couldn't find... I hope and hope that someday, we'll meet again.. :)

The kids were happy and they had a great time :)

Yang dua orang ni, macam pasangan kekasih pun ade hehe..

Look at how Lilly entertain Aleena..

Look at how Aleena loves her !! Lilly is special :)

The End :)

"Lets learn to appreciate what's around us.."

Bila adik kasi chan :D

Dua2 adik punya...

Tapi adik tengok je la ye.. hehe...

Interesting Story...

Yesterday hubby sent me this wonderful story thru Facebook.. the story is sooo interesting especially when the writer is a man !! Tak ramai yang mampu berfikir macam mamat ni, he's amazing, and hubby yg share this story with me is also amazing!!!

Thanx my dear..

Kalau semua suami bole berfikir macam ni & menghargai wanita, insyaAllah isteri2 jugak akan dgn rela hati nya mentaati suami and buat ape saja untuk suami !!

Sebelum minta isteri mencontohi sifat isteri2 Rasullullah, suami dulu kena lah mencontohi Rasullullah kan...

Baca jangan tak baca.. the appreciation brought tears to my eyes ;)

Bila SUAMI balik rumah.... Dia jadi heran giler halaman umah berselerak, surat kat peti pos tak berambil, anak-anak tengah main korek-korek tanah kotor, baju compang-camping, penuh dengan tanah dan kotoran, rambut tak bersikat, tak bermandi.. Masuk ke pintu rumah lagi lelaki tu terkejut.



waaa... mana isteri ku...



Ruang tamu lagi teruk berselerak. Lelaki tu melaung nama isterinya.. Sepi tiada jawapan. Masuk ke dapur, sinki penuh dengan pinggan mangkuk tak berbasuh, periuk tak bercuci, mencari apa yang boleh dimakan tetapi tiada makanan yang dimasak. Masuk ke bilik air, baju belum berbasuh apatah lagi berendam. Lelaki itu cemas mencari isterinya. Dia bergegas ke tingkat atas melihat isterinya terbaring di atas katil sedang membaca buku.



fuuu.. lega..



“Awak sakit ke?” tanya lelaki itu. “Tak lah”, jawab isterinya ringkas. “Kenapa teruk sangat rumah kita hari ni?” Tanya si suami lagi sambil meletakkan tangan di dahi isterinya, kot-kot isterinya demam.“Wahai suamiku, semalam semasa kita bertengkar, abg mengatakan yang saya ini hanyalah suri rumah, duduk di rumah tak sepenat diri abg yang duduk di pejabat, dan abg sering menanyakan apa kerja yang saya lakukan di rumah yang menyebabkan saya merungut kepenatan kadang-kadang..



lelaki tu pun berfikir...



Kalau madam takde kat umah, alangkah tenteramnya hidup ini. Boleh buat ape yang kita suka. Boleh belengkar kat depan TV tanpa sebarang gangguan mental dan fizkal. Pendek kata, FreeDoMmmmmlah!! But hairan bin ajaib, when dia betul-betul pergi meaning “She’s Gone”’ aku plak trasa separuh mati. Sehari dua memanglah shiokkk, no one shouting from the kitchen for help, no o

ne to komen this and that, no one to criticize. Everything will be smooth…



hahaha... takde yg nak marah ku...



Tp masuk hari ketige, I felt something missing. Lebih-lebih lagi bila tuala mandi dah berbau ‘asshemmmm’, tak tau la mana nak cari yang baru. Colgate da nak abis, tak tau kat mana dia stock up. Air suam da habis, malas nk boil… Masuk hari keempat, rindu mula terasa...





Apabila rindu mencengkam, semuanya jadi tak tentu arah. Tengok TV citer best pon jadi tak best. Nasik bungkus feberite jadik tak feberite. Makan kat 5 star hotel jadik rasa macam makan kat kedai AA. Lebih-lebih lagi bila laundry basket da makin bertimbun ngan baju kotor. Toilet dah mula licin berdaki.. Lantai dah berbelak, tak dimop.. Every nite, very the lonely, baring atas katil nengok ceiling blindly.. bila lonely gini, baru lah rasa benar kesepian.



Jangan kata sebulan atau setahun, belum seminggu isteri takde kat umah, aku dah rasa separuh pengsan. Masa ni barulah sedar netapa pentingnya seorang wanita bernama isteri… So guys out there.. jgn buli isteri kite. Kalau boleh, tolong dia buat kerja rumah. Bukan dok depan TV every weekend baca paper. Apa ingat dia tu kuli ker?! Maid ker?!! Kan dia tu bini kita, best fren kita, sweetheart kita.. Ingat duit hantaran yang kita kasik dia masa nikah dulu cukup ker nak bayar gaji dia ..................................................................seumur hidup ???



ingat balik..



And furthermore, kan sama2 kerja carik rezeki, sama jugak lah buat kerja rumah. Kadang2 bila poket kita sesak, tak ingat ker dialah orang yang paling dekat terdekat kita nak kenyeng-kenyeng duit. Tak kesian ker nengok bini kita? Dah la satu hari keja kat office, balik pulak kena buat kerja rumah lagi… penat tau! Kalaulah aku diberi peluang jadik seorang wanita,… tak rela!!! So to all mums and wives out there, live will be meaningless without You mothers. Uwaaaaaaa!!



SAYANGI LA KAUM PEREMPUAN KERANA TANPA MEREKA ANDA KEHILANGAN SESUATU..

HARGAI MEREKA!!!!!



Dari ilham seorang lelaki.. “ Wanita adalah insan istimewa, biarkan mereka terus membebel, merengek atau mengilai seperti Pontianak. Seburukburuk perangai wanita, ia akan terus melekat di hati kita selagi hayat di kandung badan”

sile share slpas mmbace agar lelaki tahu mghargai wanita ♥
