Just weird.

Bismillah...

I took mc today. Felt so guilty. I don't know why but i've always this constant guilt when I take mc even though i'm really sick. Thank God i'm not teaching proper yet. If not I'll keep thinking of my students and how they would be lagging behind. I guess this is one of the hazards of teaching; that you'll be answerable to lots of students if you're absent from work.

Oh well......

Feeling Down.

Bismillah...

A beautiful story...

Piety, simplicity and generosity combined in Abdullah to make him a person who was highly esteemed by the companions and those who came after them. He gave generously and did not mind parting with wealth even if he himself would fall in want as a result.He was a successful and trustworthy trader throughout his life. In addition to this he had a generous stipend from the Bayt al-Mal which he would often spend on the poor and those in need. Ayyub ibn Wail ar-Rasi recounted one incident of his generosity..One day Umar received four thousand dirhams and a velvet blanket. The following day Ayyub saw him in the market buying fodder for his camel on credit. Ayyub then went to Abdullah's family and asked: "Didn't Abu Abdur-Rahman (meaning Abdullah ibn Umar) get four thousand dirhams and a blanket yesterday?" "Yes, indeed," they replied."But I saw him today in the suq buying fodder for his camel and he had no money to pay for it." "Before nightfall yesterday. he had parted with it all. Then he took the blanket and threw it over his shoulder and went out. When he returned it was not with him. We asked him about it and he said that he had given it to a poor person," they explained.Abdullah ibn Umar encouraged the feeding and the helping of the poor and the needy. Often when he ate, there were orphans and poor people eating with him. He rebuked his children for treating the rich and ignoring the poor. He once said to them: "You invite the rich and forsake the poor."

Habib's Birthday Celebration.

Bismillah...

Last Thursday was habib's birthday and silly Me actually had a surprise planned out for him but silly Me just don't know how to keep it a surprise and so, the 'surprise' was discovered by him even before i could surprise him... sigh...

Our phone conversation that morning:

Habib: Assalamualaikum
Me: W'salam
Habib: So what are your plans for today?
Me: I've presentation later and i'm stressed about it. Aft sch i've to go home n do my assignments which are due tomorrow. I've 2 project meetings tomorrow n i've to prepare for them. (then i continued rattling about how stressed i am)
Habib: Ooo...okay...
Me: Yah...ok then... can't talk to you much. Bye.
By the way, Happy Birthday! So sorry i can't celebrate with u this yr.
Habib: It's ok...It's not important. (Haha..pls don't give me that. i know u expect smthg from me)

(i chuckled to myself aft the whole conversation.)

That evening around 4, another phone conversation:

Me: What time do you finish work?
Habib: Around 5.
Me: Ok...can u accompany me to tekka coz i need to buy muruku. My family wants me to buy muruku for raya. (haha..lame reason but i really couldn't think of anything better.)
Habib: Ok can. So does that mean u're breaking fast with me?
Me: Oh no..i can't. i've to go home after that coz i've assignments to do.
Habib: Okay...

About 30mins later, he called,

Habib: I don't think i can follow u today. We go some other day lah...
Me: No...cannot. Must buy today. My mom wants it by today coz she doesn't like last-minute stuff. Tekka will be packed during the weekends.
Habib: Then we go tomorrow lah (Friday)
Me: Cannot....i'm not free tomorrow.
Habib: Why your family suddenly want to buy muruku?
Me: My family buys muruku every year what...
Habib: Ok...raya's in 1 wk's time. You still have time to buy what... Buy some other day lah...I can't go with u today.
Me: Cannot! Must buy today!!
Habib: I smell something fishy.
Me: Nothing's fishy except for you. Ok gtg... Bye! Meet me later at 6 plus k...

Later at 5 plus, my future sister-in-law called,

SIL: Did majnu call you?
Me: Ya...y?
SIL: He suddenly called me to ask me whether me n hubby will be going to Tekka later.
I had to say yes coz now is Ramadhan what...I don't want to lie.
Me: Then what did he say?
SIL: He said, ooo....i knew it. i sense something fishy. i know she's up to something. You all will be breaking fast with me right?
Me: Huh? Serious? How come he knows? Why did he call u in the first place? We never ever celebrated his birthday together before what... How did he suspect?
SIL: I also dunno. He suddenly called me. I tell you this always happens. Everytime I want to surprise my husband on his birthday but somehow he'll always end up knowing.
Me: Arrgghh.... not fun! I know by now he knows that I'll be celebrating his birthday with him but I didn't expect him to even know that you guys are coming. I didn't even mention your name.

See...there goes my 'surprise'. Pffftttt........

Nonetheless, we still had a pleasant celebration for him n my future SIL and her hubby bought for him a shirt. I, on the otherhand, shall not reveal what I bought for him. Shhh....

Hate Presentation

Am preparing for my presentation later. Arrggh.....hate it!! Oh Allah, please help me go through this!!

Baking Day

Bismillah....





Was supposed to visit Fari and her baby - Toybah (just love the name) -yesterday but while i was on my way to her place from school, my mom called and started complaining that no one is helping her to bake cookies... okok mom, i got the drift...





so i went home and baked biskut M&M. initially it was supposed to be 'help her bake the cookies' but it ended up jus me doing everything by myself. my mom just helped to put the cookies into the jar. but i'm totally fine with that coz baking cookies is fun! hassle-free, easy-to-do and a good way for de-stressing oneself. After baking, I fell flat on the floor and dozed off... Now, i'm overwhelmed by the innumerable assignments that i have to do by today if i want my weekends free.





Must do it! Must do it!!

Final Product!

Before Baking in the oven.

Okay...I should really stop digressing and go back to doing my assingments. Must complete all by today!!

My very first *********

Bismillah....



Alhamdulillah, today me and habib bought our very 1st @#$%^&*() together. It's so exciting!! If not for the crowd of people around me, i would have jumped there and then. haha... but too bad i couldn't lah.... so i just danced like a telletubby with that in my hands!! ok...whatever i did sounds worst than jumping. haha.. whatever lah... i jus couldn't control my happiness. I'm not ready to reveal what it is yet. Wait till it's really confirmed. Whatever it is, I just hope we made the right choice! Yippeeee!!!
