Papa and daughters day out

Today, took papa to KL to meet my sister for lunch. Had lunch at Tempayaki Pavillion. Mind you, its not Mr Tempayaki but TEMPAYAKI. The food is simply delicious, yummy yummy yummy. Just the 3 of us, papa and her 2 daughter(the sane and the insane one- me the insane one of course). Papa really enjoyed his Lamb Chilli with Garlic and my sister and me had Beef Chilli and Garlic. Cant believe it, but I had 2 bowl of rice.
After our meal, we took papa to Starbucks also located at The Pavillion. Papa suddenly told us, "It was just yesterday i told myself that i feel like having coffee at Starbucks"...So I told him, The Almighty has granted your wish pop!





Im so glad God has given me the most wonderful life anyone could ever ask for. No matter who tried to hurt me, it has no effect on me because it only be a waste of time. Life is too short to be bitter and be angry.
And having the sickness is actually a privileged. When one is not sick, they tend to forget to appreciate life. I was once that way. I take things for granted even though i know every one dies. But ever since being sick, i know i have a time bomb inside of me. Clock is ticking every second of my life. Therefore, I learn to appreciate the littlest thing in life. i.e when Im stuck in a traffic jam, I would look at the surrounding and appreciate the landscape, look at every single thing my eyes can see, because someday when Im gone, i will be at a different world. So enjoy life and at the same time perform what is required by Him...life can never be greater.
Now i have a wonderful family(my dad, my sibblings, my kids), my best friend Nini, Fahmy, Tokwan, Ariff,Ain, Rahmat, and now I have a very very very special person, Qel who has been very supportive and accepted me with the whole package- my sickness, my craziness and my 2 kids...
Thank YOu Allah for the life You has given me....can thank you enough..Luv u always, my Lord!

Today from 09.00am -17.00pm I was at *** (one of the government agency) for the cable installation. Was really a tiring day having to climb from one floor to one floor and with my lappy bag on my back all the time. Started from the North Wing ground floor then to South wing ground floor. Ground floor to 2nd floor and finally to 3rd floor..oh then back to "N*** room" which was located at the North wing.
I dont know what is wrong with *** security guard but the pass she gave me can't seem to open any of those doors on that block and that made our job difficult as I had to look for any of the staff there to asked to open doors. Then the light bulb appear.."TinK"..idea came. I told those guys to wait while i ran to 3rd floor to borrow Kak Siti's pass.
8 hours i was there, i was so 'flabbergasted'. I mean every week at least twice i have to go to *** but just never get the chance to actually observe people there. Today, i was there for 8 hours...i see how people at this agency work. This is like during office hours ni, these 2 ladies sat at the stair case gossiping for hours and I mean really hours. I dunno how many times i had to go up using that stair case but each time i used that stair case, they were still there.
Then i sat at the place where i had to install the work station and where i put the server...all the ladies there seem to be relaxing, jalan-jalan cari makan, gossiping, and some even take a nap. Really really flabbergasted with what I saw today. And they get bonus, pay increment like every year. WOW! Now i know why many people want to go into the government sector. 4.30pm everyone will be rushing to the punch card machine and "geduuung".punching their card.. I wonder if ever a minute that came across their mind that the money get every month on the 21st will be used to put the food on the table for the family?
About 17.00hrs finally the guys finished with the installation. Packed everything and made a move. It started to rain so heavily as if the whole Klang Valley was gonna be wiped out. The sky was so dark and heavy black clouds and down pour. Got stuck on the highway and by the time i reached Subang it was 18.20pm so i decided to just go home to pick up the kids for a happy meal at McD.
Had the happy meal at Mc D and went home just in time for Maghrib. After Maghrib, just knocked out. Guess must be tired because yesterday i got back from work at 7am (22 hours working straight) and by 11.45am back to the office and today another early start.
At 8pm, my phone rang..was still in my deep sleep but managed to wake up in time to answer the call from Tuan Alwee. Wanted to go back to sleep but somehow couldnt. Dont know why, i got up, climbed my bed and opened my top closet where i called "My treasure spot". Took out one of the box. Sat on my bed and slowly i opened it. Found all the old letters..first one i found was the letter from my ex husband when he first made a confession about his feelings. I read one by one and wonder where that person he used to be gone to. Then i found one big envelope, opened it and this time it was from my ex fiance. The big envelope has got all the cards he gave me and i found one letter..a long one. An apology letter telling how much he was sorry for hurting me and beating me.
I just had to keep back everything when i started to feel kinda melancholic. Put back the box in my treasure closet and wish i hadn't opened it in the first place coz then i wont be feeling like this.Ooouuch!

Do Not Expect Gratitude from anyone

Really love this book "Don't Be Sad". Each Chapter I read is giving me all the answers to my personal questions during my private moment with The One . And each chapter when is read carefully with an open heart and understanding and accepting our own weaknesses, it will make us a better person. And now it also gives me the answer to all the test( or rather to some they call it "Issues" and "Dramas" of life)that I have to go through.
Now that I am able to see things clearly, things are actually better now for me. I always believe that He will take something or someone or some people that we care for because He wants to replace with something or someone or new group of people that will make your life even better and even more beautiful than before.
Yesterday will never come back and tomorrow is not here YET. Live this moment and never procrastinate in telling those you care how much u love them and don't ever hurt someone ON PURPOSE. To tell someone you are sorry is one of the hardest thing to do but again NEVER procrastinate.

This is taken from Chapter 6:
Allah, the Almighty, created His slaves so that they may worship and remember Him, and He provided sustenance for them so that they may be grateful to Him. Nevertheless, many have worshipped other than Him and the masses are thankful not to Him, but to others, because the characteristic of ingratitude is widespread among human beings. So do not be dismayed when you find that others forget your favors or disregard your kind acts. Some people might even despise you and make you an enemy for no other reason than that you have shown them kindness.

And they could not find any cause to hear a grudge, except that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them of His Bounty. (Qur'an 9:74)

From among the ever-repeating pages of history is a story of a father and his son: the former raised him, fed him, clothed him and taught him; he would stay up nights so that his son could sleep, stay hungry so that his son could eat, and he would toil so that his son could feel comfort. And when the son became older and stronger, he rewarded his father with disobedience, disrespect, and contempt.

So be at peace if you are requited with ungratefulness for the good you have done. Rejoice in your knowledge that you will be rewarded from the One Who has unlimited treasures at His disposal.

This is not to say that you should refrain from performing acts of kindness towards others: the point is that you should be mentally prepared for ingratitude.

Perform acts of charity seeking Allah's pleasure, because with this attitude you will assuredly be successful. The ungrateful person cannot really harm you: praise Allah that that person is the transgressor and that you are the obedient servant. Also, remember that the hand that gives is better than the hand that receives.

We feed you seeking Allah’s Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you. (Qur'an 76: 9)

Many people are shocked at the nature of ingratitude in others, as though they had never come across this verse and others like it:

And when harm touches man, he invokes Us, lying down on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on his way as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him? (Qur'an 10: 12)

Hence do not be in a state of agitation if you give someone a pen as a gift and he uses it to satirize you, or if you give someone a walking stick to lean upon and he strikes you with it. As I pointed out earlier, most human beings are ungrateful to their Lord, so what treatment should you and I expect?
