milestone #1

After more than 7 1/2 yrs since we left homeland, we finally found HOME.

Keys collected on 19th August. Alhamdulillah..

the house was built in 1975 and the previous owners were elderly people; the husband passed away early this year and the wife moved back to Yorkshire to live near her daughter. based on survey report, some immediate remedial work need to be done. and from Monday 19th, we've been busy seeing people who would be doing the works

1. electrical work - tambah sockets, tukar distribution board. ada VO & EOT sebab kena tukar wiring to most light fittings.
2. re-carpeting
3. remove and replace ceiling in the kitchen
4. remove the old gas fire & replace with electric fire
5. install new boiler
6. repaint wall paper.  

my favourite room in the house must be the pantry which will be my mini kedai runcit.

rumah & tanah hanya  sekangkang kera (tu pon kalau kera tak malu nak kangkang!!) but the garden is well kept. previous owner bayar gardener to maintain the garden but I guess I will do the work from now on.

the kitchen is "cute".. will make do with the kitchen cabinet yang ada sekarang until the time comes and  duit dalam tabong dah cukup untuk buat cabinet baru.

hopefully boleh officially pindah in 2 weeks time..

34 (not 32) years and going strong

this post goes especially to my beloved uncle Nik Adnan and his lovely wife Nik Azizah, in celebration of their 34th (not  32nd)  wedding anniversary. their love is the one to emulate.

10 malam terakhir



i'm not pious, there's so much that I have to make right in my daily life and performing my daily ibadah. I'm not one who performs the terawih prayers religiously like everybody else during Ramadhan. shame on me but i'm not ashamed to admit it. but I believe  Allah swt has something for each and every one of his umat. 

 

Ramadhan is coming to an end and everyone is looking forward to the last 10 nites with a hope to experience the greatest nite of all - Malam Lailatul Qadar. i'm no exception and I would do it my way.. if only I could turn back time and recite the Quran every single day/nite with the help of IQuran on the tab since the first of Ramadhan, I could have read a lot by now but anyway.. no point looking  back and regret. i'm sure Allah swt knows how sorry I am.

 

however its never too late. lets memorise the du'a and Insyaallah Allah swt will forgive us for all our wrongdoings..
