Test

Alhamdulilah..

Allah menguji setiap hamba yg Dia sayangi, coz in every test lies a hikmah that Allah knows and for us to find out.

As His servant, we are tested many times in life. Even i have faced many challenges in life, and i always remind myself to always thank Allah for every test that He gives. For all these test will strenghthen our heart and Iman. Depending on how u see every test given to u,
if u take it calmy and seek His guidance to overcome every test, U will succeed and hold triumph with u. U will fail when u see that the test is a burden and give up on it.

Everytime we seek His guidance, our du'a, prayer, zikr..pergantungan kita pada Allah itu akan buat kite main dekat dgn Allah. Coz when u do this, the spark of ilham will englighten our mind on how to solve our test.. not only we can solve it later but our belief in Allah will become stronger..as He is the one who gives us Hidayah on how to solve our problem.

So cant u see the magic of it all..Subhanallah.. we become more calm n more dependant on Him and thus making us a better servant.

Du'a

Assalamualaikum..



Yes, i know, people will always tell u.. Pray to Allah..ask for his guidance..ask for his help..

and most the answer will always be, or at least ive often heard of is... ' ye..ok dah doa dah..' or haa doa tu doa la tapi camna ni...bla bla'


The thing is.. it WILL REALLY HELP you. Whether it'll be early or late, it will still come..but the point is, pray n put ur 100% faith to Allah and be patient and sincere.

As a muslim, our weapon is du'a. Allah will give us EVERYTHING we want, providing we do what he says .

Everytime im writing in my blog it will always be a reminder for myself, for we are weak, and as muslim we are earge to deliver good messages to our fellow muslims as we might some time forget or may simply have the lack ok knowledge.

Allah will always be there for you just raise ur hand and ask n tell everything to Allah..insyaAllah He will help you..ameen...

Allahu akbar..!!

MZ dtg lagi..

Maher Zain dtg lagi ke KL..

Hmm rasanya x yah la kot nak pegi konsert die..
bukan x suka, bukan dah bosan.
but since his last visit, I thought going to his concert was what a fan would NORMALLY
do when their fav singer is in town.

Then i realize, the satisfaction of just listening to his songs everyday is beyond
comparison. And for that reason, i dun think going to his concert is necessary.
If i were to meet him, let it be a personal invitation.. to talk to him n get to know him
haha..over bukan..

but why not, i really love to know him.. its good to be friends with another good muslim..

if he has good traits that my children can idolize.. why not..young people need more
singers like MZ to be idolize..

i pray to Allah more singers like MZ will be born, singing good songs and brings clean yet stylish
muslim images that reflects who muslim really are.

and i pray MZ will be a better muslim everyday, so he will make n sing good songs for me n my family to hear..ameen.. ;))

2011

Alhamdulillah sudah masuk tahun baru 2011.

In this new year, insyaAllah new resolutions in life.

Yang penting rasa cam nk wat perubahan diri yg ultimate, tapi
better not tell nanti x jadi. Mudah2an berkekalan.

Alhamdulillah DH skrg suka balik umah n bercerita tentang bende2 yg didengar di radio n ofis,
alhamdulillah jugak memende yg didengar tu adalah mende yg bermanfaat.

So since i dun know what to write in this blog, i might as well write the stories that DH always tells me.

There are so many, but i think i want to start with this one first.

Rezeki.
I will only take the conclusion.
Tanggapan kita tentang rezeki. Many thinks it only involves monetory, whereas it involves many things, such as an obedient child, a faithful wife/husband, a happy family, daily food that never run out of supply everyday, clothes we wear and so many many more.

And another one, our faith towards the rizq that Allah will give us.
Dulu i myself always worry about whether we have enough money to live. but now alhamduillah
Allah has given me guidance that rizq is in His hand. Work and ask for his barakah in the effort we take. Dunt think too hard, coz there is always something for everyone in this world. Whatever He has given us, that is the best. If we cant have something we want, that is not meant for us.

I am trying to instill this belief in me and i hope all my muslim frens will too.
Always be grateful for everything He has given us, the ability to eat using our hands, the ability to see, to eat with our mouth, to walk with our feet.

Subhanallah ..Alhamdulillah..

Samsa

Better known as Samosa for most of us, got this recipe from my dear fren , if u have a thing for international food, try her recipes..her recipes is so far delicioussss...ive tried a few and its not dissapointing

Try it out guys !!

Good luck to us

Whether this is the best path, we wouldnt know

coz He knows the best

and we rest our faith in HIm

hunger for burgers...

Craving for burgers for these past few days..so last2 sampai juga hajat nk makan..

but waittt!!! not burgers from Mc Donald's or Burger King...home-made burgers..hehehe

rindu nk wat sebenarnye.. dulu kat Perth selalu wat sbb mana nk cari burger halal kan..

so there it is.. chicken burger n lamb burger (whopper style)..

x susah pun nk wat..cuma amik :

FOR CHICKEN BURGER

1) Boneless breast chicken tu (kalu tebal cut 2 kasi nipis)

2) then celup with tepung (yg dh di bancuh ngan garam n baking powder) n salut with

breadcrumbs or kalu x ngan tepung (yg dh dicampur garam n pepper)

* i make my own breadcrumbs..by just blending 1 or 2 toasted bread..

3) pastu goreng..

4) chicken burger..makan only with mayo n lettuce..

FOR LAMB BURGER

1) mince the lamb/beef

2) letak pinch garam + pepper

4) then grill / masak atas pan without just a bit of oil..(biar x lekat)

4) makan like a whopper burger with tomato, mayo , lettuce n onion..

alhamdulillah....thank u Allah..!! ;))

Banana Custard

Dah lama x pos resipi kan.. ive made this on the 1st day of Ramadhan for iftar..

Bila dh makan it tastes almost like a dessert my MIL used to order from her fren..Pisang diraja ke apa nama die..but that one was eaten with cashew nuts n raisins as well i think..but the custars taste the same..

Assalamualaikum to all,

again..alhamdulillah Ramadhan is here.. i am thankful to Allah for everything that has been given to me n my family.

My cake biz which i have started since my uni years, have been thru a better stage..a company has been set-up, better cash control over the money and alhamdulillah sales have been good.

I am no doubt happy for the improvement my company has made..everyone is happy ..BUt why is the feeling not mutual..

MY daughter came to me one day stopping me from doing anything..n said to spend the day with her n not doing my work (baking esp..)

as many people would have said..'alah bdak2 mmg camtu..' n others would have said.'sbb x biasa mak bekerja..' i looked at it in another perspective..the fact that i stay at home is to be with them, take care of them and prepare their essential..if that is not done..then why in the first place i stay at home.. i'd be better off chasing my long-lost dream of being a corporate women.

i truly cant stand their bored face when i have to sit in front of this laptop screen attending to my online biz. I FEEL SO GUILTY!!

Allah made everything in this world for a reason..n im trying to figure out what is hidden behind all this.. with 3 kids, house chores and online biz going on.. can i do it..?? and certainly my kids will not be the one who has to suffer..

ya Allah..tolong beri ku Petunjuk...ameen
Allah tak akan beri dugaan itu melainkan orang itu mampu memikkulnye..ya Allah mampukah aku?? tapi Allah lebih memhamai setiap hambanye..Dia yg mencipta kita.. HAVE FAITH IN AlLLAH SURIANI...have faith!!!!..

Best kan...

Have u seen the video clip..best kan..subhanallah..

Just opened frendster, waahhh..lamanye x bkk frenster..dh ader new layout dah..sungguh x sangka..pastu tgkla gmbr2 yg dipost kat dlm tu..tgk gbr lama2..hehe..best..

ok bye..tu je nk cakap..hehe

How Time Flies

Starting a new life n ending one

Assalamualaikum...

Lama kan x menulis...yela x de internet kat umah..ni baru masuk..leh la curi2 masa sket...

Many things has happend lately...but the major ones would be my BIL's wedding in january n my grandma passed away the day before the reception.

I was actually busy on the day my grandma passed away, filling up cake orders. Just after i had finished it all, n was waiting for Abang to come back from buying boxes for the cupcakes..my mom called but i couldnt manage to reach the phone on time n answer it.Abang came back n pat my shoulder n said 'Sabar eh..nenek dh xde..'

i was actually stunned...i couldnt believe it at first. adala air mata yg kuwar. terkejut jgk ngn diri sendiri...suriani skrg dh x nangis melalak cam suriani dulu.
it wasnt appropriate for me to come that night itself, with the baby and all.
I went the next day when everyone was busy at the mosque preparing nenek for Solat Jenazah..

Again, i'm amazed with my own self..'eh apsal aku x nangis hah??'But at the end..when seeing nenek for the very last time..i cried..all the memories that i had with her..ran thru my mind in a flash..teringat nasi lemak nenek yg selalu ku makan dgn sambal kacang, teringat tumpi nenek..teringat nenek ubatkan muka ku yg penuh jerawat walaupun xde beza pun..tapi best je bila nenek hembus2, teringat tido ngan nenek n layan nenek ckp masa nenek dh uzur tengah2 malam (masa ni lum kawen lagi), teringat nenek mesti ckp terima kaseh everytime betulkan bantal die, pakaikan telekung die, bawak die gi toilet...isssh buat sedih je masa tu, n of course banyak lagi.

Tapi yang paling ingat n insyaAllah akan ikut...nenek selalu pesan, kalu orang buat jahat kat kite jgn balas balik..yang penting kite buat baik kat orang. AND

Arwah atuk selalu puji nenek..siap ckp ngan mak suro jadi cam nenek..Abang pun puji nenek, sbb tengah2 x sihat tu..kalu dtg umah mak n nenek ader, belum panas punggung duduk pun, nenek mesti ckp..'Chun, lakinye dikasi air..' pastu kejap2 mesti ckp lagi 'Aidil dah makan..dah dikasi air?' insyaAllah chun akan jadi isteri yg terbaik nek..insyaAllah..ameen..

Malam tu wedding my BIL, seronok tgk ariza dh kawen..congrats ariza..ur wish finally come true!! di sebalik keseronokan tu kadang2 teringat nenek, but life must go on kan..tinggal doa kite yg bleh membantu die.

Semoga nenek ditempatkan di Syurga yg teratas ya Allah..for she is worth the person..ameen..
Al-fatihah
