Does Shukrina is going to have a similar habit like me when I was young.??

Look at below photos.



She was wearing my ‘not so high’ heel shoe- not sure how high is the heel. Perhaps 1 and ½ inch. She eagerly put her feet inside but to the fact that the feet is so cute..she was imbalance . I helped her to wear the shoe properly and she walked happily around the compound. Couples of steps, she ‘terpeleot’ ( terpelecok ), stand again and continue walking.

I am not a high heel fan. Just a ‘kemetot’ heel shoe will do for me. And I prefer flat shoes.

When I was kids- I can remember clearly at about 5-9 years old, I like to play’ cikgu-cikgu’. Besides having a mini blackboard , chalk, duster , long ruler, the most significant of me being a ‘cikgu’ is wearing a high heel shoe ! Konon nak tiru gaya cikgu la. Without the contributor , I don’t think that I can fulfill my dream of being a 'pseudo' teacher .

The contributor was of course my dear elder cousin. .She was the one who has variety of high heel shoe. From the one nicely cover your foot to the sexy lace shoe. When she went out to work, I started my play. Took out all her shoe and arrange nicely. I chose which shoe to be wore on Monday, Tues and so on..

I stayed with my aunt during mama went out working. Of course my aunty did not bother me playing with her daughter’s shoe. But when my cousin got to know, I played with her shoes..mmg balik kena la…Everytime she bought a new high heel, I was the one who wanna try eagerly ..padahai kaki terlebih muat…

Since I don’t have students, I played alone. Teaching noboby but as if lots of students in front of me. Only sometimes, my friend came and join me. They would rather play masak-masak than cikgu-cikgu..Me, seret la high heel tu jadi cikgu konon. Why high heel is related to teacher? Does teacher have to wear heel shoe if not high ? I remember my friend who was in Degree of Education during their time going for practical, sebok2 dok beli high heel shoe..

Girls always have enthusiasm of wearing/trying a high heel shoe. They are such a cute little princess wearing an adult high heel shoe. U can clearly see the gap between their heel and the shoe’ sheel.. I am not sure if there is any yang tak pernah teringin walau sekali dalam hidup. At least sekali pakai masa kawin

p/s: teringin nak pakai 6 inch heel…baru la nampak tinggi...tapi tak buleh nak jalan nanti kot.

I was talking to a kindy teacher cum KAFA Ustazah one day.Actually I was interested to know how she started her career as Ustazah KAFA and then became a kindy teacher.So, this lady told me about all the courses, test, exam that she has gone thru while showing me all her certificates. She even received an offer to pursue 2 years advance course at Al-Azhar in 2000 but she rejected it due to she has 6 kids to take care of ( of course + a husband). Hehe.


Is not that easy for her and other Ustaz/Ustazah KAFA to be granted for this position ( pentauliahan) . The oral test is damn hard. If they, the guru KAFA said is hard, apatah lagi kita ni.. I remembered one of the test that she mentioned was she were asked to read 6 surah. That one ok la…

Then she needed to spell it out ( mengeja dalam bahasa Arab- Alif Fathah Lam sukun – Al, Ha fathahmim sukum –Ham, dal dommah –Du..Alhamdu…) without any paper to write and just spell it out in the air. Is not stopped there. lots of fardhu ‘ain tricky questions tested . There are only 4 candidates per day. Can you imagine, how long per one interview session ? Some came out from the room in tears, some speechless.

All these procedure is to make sure that our country produce good Ustaz KAFA so that our next generations will be great . My kindy time, we are not exposed to this KAFA class but some states like Selangor and Kedah have started with the class. Since I don’t have very young sibling, I am not aware when actually government emphasize on KAFA class.

Back to this ustazah’s story. She is a very strict yet loving teacher. One day, there was a mother who planned to pull out his son from KAFA class. The reason was, the son’s English score was terrible. She planned to send the son to English tuition.

This Ustazah said , she had no problem with the idea but with ‘satu syarat’..aisehh..main syarat pulak …


Ustazah : “Satlagi puan balik, tiap2 hari masuk RM10 dalam tabung”

Mother : “Awat pulak nak masuk tabung RM10 Ustazah

Ustazah : “ Ingat pesan saya ni,masuk dalam tabung sepanjang puan hidup”


The mother still blur. Same goes to me. When I listen, I have no idea why


Ustazah: “Bila puan mati esok-esok, suruh anak puan pecah tabung ni,bayar orang mai mengaji utk mayat puan”



Zappp…tajamnya..


Ustazah : “Saya kata ni bukan apa..anak puan tak boleh mengaji elok2 lagi. Kalau stop , sampai bila pun dia tak buleh baca.kalau dia mengaji dah elok, dah pandai..saya pun tak halang

The mother quickly said that she wanted her son to remain in this KAFA class. But Ustazah who already feel ‘ tak syiok’ just informed the mother that she would not accept the son again and asked her to send to another KAFA if she wish to.

Me, totally silence after listening to the story. ……..

*********************************************************************
Maybe to some parents KAFA is not as important as English, Science and Math subject. Perhaps most of them realize the essential of ‘ilmu agama’ but still taking the school subject more seriously . If the kids failed those subject, chance for them to enter university is slim or no chance at all. Consequently they do not get a better job and do not earn much ( This is Poor Dad’s way of thinking in “Rich Dad Poor Dad” )


But how about KAFA? Is there anybody sending their kids to tuition for subject Pendidikan Islam ? How many of parents do revise and check on our childrens’ amalan .

I am just throwing this idea so we can think about it together . I am neither at Ustazah nor the mother's side and not blaming any parents because each of us know what is the best for our children. But the story I wrote here hopefully is beneficial for us to take a PAUSE and THINK for the sake of our childrens’ future and our destiny .

I have a long journey to go with my family and I am afraid of doing mistake in between it.
Ya Allah, bantulah daku , bimbinglah daku dalam mengharungi kehidupan ini..

My boss is recently been blessed with a baby boy.. 4.15kg !! Fuyyyoo ! I can see the happiness and cheerfulness on his face as this is his 1^st child. My boss is a very hardworking employee..work..work..work and only get married at mid-30. after 2 years ++ waiting , finally he become a daddy!

It has been a week since the baby arrived. Everyday come to work, there must be story about his dearest baby… He is very excited when telling me about his son’s progress. I spice up the conversation by asking how is Chinese’s confinement style. What the wife consume and not to forget about breastfeeding (BF).

He started to talk to me about having a baby since Raya 2008. We ate together at one of my colleague’s open house . He seems interested to know bout having a baby . That time the wife haven’t conceive yet. Asking me about who is taking care my daughter , about BF and even asking me when am I planning for no .2 child..Wah…not so soon boss ( that time la)

We were chatting on babysitter’s pay which now is increasing especially for Chinese community, about spending on diaper and milk. I just came out with statement

“Luckily I no need to spend on formula milk”.

Then his face become soo curious as if in his mind asking “why?’

Then after few seconds he realized that I am exclusively BF my daughter and nodded his head ( I got his permission first for escaping to nursing room, that is why he got it quickly ) , U can read some of my conversation with him in this entry.

The wife who work in the same company with us also been inspired by her counterpart who is also my pumping-mate. Both of us are encouraging this couple to support BF. The wife initially was attracted on how BF can save $$ (as the husband is working hard driving cost saving project- and me as ‘mangsa’ execute the project -of cos the husband will agree ) . But I keep reminded her, the whole idea of BF is not about saving . Is more than that .

When she gave birth , I was away from office. My boss texted me via SMS announcing the arrival of the baby. I congratulate him and my last sentence is of cos to remind him to support the wife to BF . As the wife gone thru a c-zer, she may need more support .

Yesterday morning as usual, he told me about his son’s story He told me that his son drink a lot. 3 oz for a week-old baby . Oho..my mind tells me that is a FM . If BF how can he knows is a 3oz without pumping out ? I think my boss suspect that I was thinking about FM. Then he admit, they mix with FM as the wife still weak and painful due to c-zer .

Today, while buzy doing work, suddenly he turned and asked me ?

“ Do u know is Similac good or not?”

I paused wondering about what is Similac related to my work. Oh…my boss is not asking me bout work related stuff but about FM !

“ Oh, am not sure la F…” I never buy FM before” ( dalam hati berkata ‘boss, I am not the right person for you to refer with regards to FM lahh..)

The he started to tell me about this person recommend S26, that person recommend x brand. He has a big tin of S26 in house. I just not in favor to continue the conversation but due to he was asking for opinion and he’s my boss , I just told him what I know. And my answer is very bodoh one.

“I am not sure which one is good but some of engineers here giving their baby with Enfa milk. ( This is fact that I got thru chit chatting ). Even richer employee buy PediaSure ( yes, this is was told to me by one of Mummy Manager who bought Pediasure for her child). Isomil also good..( I dunno I just guess)..”

Jawapan yang sangat tak membantu. I mean I really no idea but trying to help. I just quote the price as a measure, the more expensive the better lah kot! Sorry boss. Seems like he didn’t satisfied.

Untuk ambik hati I continue…

"Look at how your baby poop..Ok or not ? Kembung or not ? Each babies differ to each other. S2 6might not good to you but ok to other."

Then he said that they are monitoring that.Our conversation stopped there and I continue working..

Am I loosing my passion to promote BF to him??? I hope not.

I love attending kenduri kahwin. I do not know why but I just loved it. School holidays is synonym with kenduri kahwin. And last weekend, I had attended 1( on Sat )+ 4 ( on Sun ) kenduri kahwin.

Let me see, what can we dig out about kenduri kahwin

Basic thing that we can find at kenduri kahwin are :

1) Khemah but some people prefer to have it in dewan. So no khemah needed.

In kampong, we still can find khemah is divided into 2. One for men and another one for ladies.( orang dulu2 kan beradab, tak campur laki perempuan ) No mix. But nowadays guest can sit anywhere especially those held in dewan

2) Menu nasi minyak, nasi hujan panas and etc. Some choose to have additional light course such as bihun sup, laksa, variety of bubur. Is a good idea especially to serve guest that already full with nasi minyak after attending 2-3 wedding in the same day.

3) Bunga telur… New version of bunga telur is not telur, they substitute it with either handkerchief or soap or muffin. To quote one of my uncle say…"tak berseri kalau kenduri kawin tadak bunga teloq”…

4) Another new practices is to distribute goody bag to dedicated guest. ( tak semua org dapat, salu kawan baik, kawan sekerja, saudara mara). Goody bag consist of kuih2 kering ( bahulu,pulut kacau,cok meneram)/bunga telur/souvenir. Some also presented buku surah yassin. Is good idea rather than giving away souvenir yang at last either the person keep nicely or tah mana mana pi nya. I still remember my wedding day, my goody bag run off very fast. My auntie was wondering “awat cepat sangat goody bag ni habih”. Then they saw my uncle happily distribute to everyone.. patut la habih cepat, semua org pun dapat.

5) Pelamin. Some have but some not..I don’t experience bersanding but I like to see how people decorated pelamin

6) Bilik pengantin di hias indah. Abi just wonder why I like to visit bilik pengantin everytime I attended kenduri. Dia kata busybody..Hahah.whatever la.. I guess is not only me have this kind of ‘habit’.Well after all we are women whaat.. love to see beautiful things. Even my wedding was held at dewan, my bilik pengantin still dihias indah by arwah mama.

7) Bunga manggar. Kalau takde rasa macam bukan kenduri kahwin. Lagi ori cucuk kat betik muda and guna batang mop.heheh

8) Hantaran. This is another thing I like to keypochi..Hehe.I just loved to see how it was decorated and what are those gifts. My time, I did it together with arwah mama. Initially we plan to send for people to do it and is not cheap. Easily can go to hundred ringgit for a tray. Then mama say why not we do it ourself . Afterall we have so may example to follow in magazine. The lace/ flower/bakul and other accessories for decoration is also costly .And my hantaran were presented during my akadnikah day. Since my akad nikah and kenduri day is not the same day . We don’t have hantaran during kenduri day. Afterall is at dewan..jarang orang bwk hantaran p dewan kan…

9) Pasukan kompang, DJ and lagu2.. Some even bring band and penari2 tradisional. It depend on the budget and how you want your day to be. I just hate enjoying nasi minyak near to speaker where lagu gedebam gedebum. Nak sembang pun tak dengaq. Next time if I have chance to choose my seat, make sure far from speaker/ DJ. Sometime, I have no choice especially during peak hour where you have to wait for empty seats

10) Another new practice is to have banner or bunting for publicity ? or announcement ? where both bride and bridegroom happy face was printed on it.If it is just place at rumah kenduri still ok. Some can be seen at roundabout Seberang Jaya yang besaq tu.. Ini dah macam iklan konsert artis or poster undila saya…Apa apa aje la..

11) Inai…is not only the bride but sepupu2, makcik2 and tok all with red fingers…I remember my childhood time, whenever relatives getting married, I also sibok2 nak pakai inai. Nowadays inai become a product. Upah mendekorasi inai mengikut corak bunga la and etc. Me , my bestfriend a.k.a my pengapit help to put on me and is a real from pokok, giling punya. Only during akad nikah I wore the one from Makkah coming in a tube. That one, couple of hours wearing dah merah gilerr.

I would say this is only part of wedding ceremony. I guess many more that I missed to list here. And not to forget different state will have different culture, so they may have other additional things. Maybe you can help me to recall

For those who gonna getting married, am sure, they have come out with details list so that they wont miss any important stuff.

But for rich people, they no need to mess up their head with all this. Hire a wedding planner and just pay . The planner will do everything for you. Senang kan! You just dream and they will realizes it for you. Nak berarak dengan kuda, garden wedding with thousand of fresh roses

P/s : My favourite slot in Nona is wedding slot . U can just got to know new update stuff from pelamin until baju pengantin for kenduri kahwin because most of it hire Pak Abu, Kapas ,Radzuan Razwill, Putra from Butik Cosry that turn your wedding dream comes true

Both me and Shukrina were down with fever last weekend. But mine is even worse. ( sampai muntah baru ringan skit kepala and sampai hari ni suara macam Ratu Rock) ). While Shukrina’s still active ‘merry go round ‘ in the house until sweating and she recovered very fast (within a day ) compared to me.

On Sunday without abi around and a having a guest at home, I was juggling between house chores, cooking and taking care of her. Luckily the guest (my brother’s fren ) is ‘tak kisah’ . Budak baru baik demam ni memanjat sana sini dan nak asyik berdokong.

At night, I just cannot tahan after took ubat batuk and selsema… zzzz. But midnight this lil' princess started to create havoc. She cried loudly ( meraung) as if sakit yang amat2. I offered her my B but she refused. From cradle to bed to toto..semua KO.

Not only screaming with eyes closed, she was actively 'meronta' and climb on my shoulder. I have to hold her tightly as she bends her body down. I had no energy. I passed to abi but she rejected both abi and her tokba. We were thinking perut masuk angin kot.. applied an ointment onto her body but still she screamed like crazy. I took out her clothes and diaper. Put her down on toto.. Dia meraung sambil berpusing2 atas toto tu..

I started to cry…panic ..never experience such case. Usually if she cried at night, I just need to offer her to BF then she will be ok. But not this night.

She would never reject if tokba offer to dokong her but not that night.

Abi said, “ ni benda lain ni..” I suggested to bring Shukrina to our makngah’s house nearby. But abi asked me to calm down. Abi performed wudhu and recited Quran while me repeatedly recite ayatul Qursi for her . Still no change after sometimes. Tokba sapu her head with ‘air ‘ that was prepared by one of ustaz when she was baby and still keep in my house .

Then abi decided to azan. The 1^st azan, she kind of shocked but continue crying. But when 2^nd and 3^rd azan, she started to slow down and calm. Abi ‘talked’ to this makhluk asking 'it' to leave. And slowly Shukrina stopped crying by herself . Immediately she wanted abi to dokong her and communicate to abi as usual. She pointed ‘tuu’… ‘tu’… then abi said “ Abi dah halau dia dah.Dia takmai kacau Shukrina dah. Allah lindung Shukrina.”

The incident happen for about 30 minutes and Alhamdulillah, she is back to normal. She BF as usual and talk as normal. She also wants to go to tokba.

Is really a memorable incident for me as I never face all these. Not for abi , he experience observing, learned and helping few cases happened to his relatives and friend’s baby.

The part when abi communicated with this ‘makhluk’ make me feel…eh biar benar husband ku cakap gini…” but if I see some mystical drama on TV, I often listened to the dialogue such “ Pergi kau dari sini…jangan kau ganggu budak ini lagi…” , Pulang ke tempat asalmu”… “ Siapa hantar kau ke mari”.. and etc….

Luckily we did not hear any reply after abi asked ‘it’ to leave . Kalau tak mau pengsan mak. Panjang lagi la dialog abi sebenarnya..kelakar pulak rasanya..macam drama ..eh, tapi tak buleh buat main… …..

I was wondering what make (if really this ‘makhluk’ come) Shukrina screaming. Have u come across oldies advise.

“ Nak masuk rumah ada baby, jangan terus masuk , dok dulu dlm 5-10 minit kat luar “

Ada jugak

“ ludah ke belakang sebelum masuk “

“ Tanggal baju sebelum masuk’ ( kalau perempuan takkan nak tanggal jugak ?? )

Ni pesan orang2 tua kita…untuk pengiktibaran…But I always forget to stay a while before step in ..main terjah je, excited nak tengok baby ( mine or others ) . Same to abi..

Flashed back looking for reason , both of us just stayed at home on Sunday (me down fever) while abi away from morning till reached home about maghrib time that day and terus terjah masuk peluk Shukrina…can it be a reason ? Balik maghrib2…I dunno….

Whatever it is..all are from Allah… our fear and surrender is only for Allah.

May Allah always protect us

BF-Breastfeed/Breastfeeding
FM- Formula Milk
BM- Breast Milk

When I decided to exclusive BF Shukrina and continue to BF her until 2 years, BF is among the topic that always been chatted among our family and friend. I feel like one kind of satisfaction ( do not read as ‘riyak’) when I can talked about BF and is a way for me in promoting BF to people around me .I would say there are some who seconded me and some were pessimist . Maybe to BF the baby without FM is somehow is new environment to some of them. Even to myself. I just got to know about BF and the whole concept /practice when I delivered Shukrina to be exact after my confinement

I’m not alone facing all these people that come with their own thinking . My husband also sometimes drag into this issue. Luckily he able to counter even he is not 100% equipped with BF knowledge .

Fortunately, I did not receive very harsh comment like some other BF mommies. As far as they concern is not about why 100% BM , why bother to go an pump 3x/day , why so stingy to buy FM BUT more to how long I can achieve it. Is kind of competition between me and them/their wives. As I draw a line at 2 years , they keep asking either me or my husband . “Dok menyusu lagi ka”, “ Dah campoq susu tin ka”. “ Susu ada lagi noo”. Oho..I am not competing with anybody. Is just my personal goal.

The person that asked the question is somehow is not exclusively BF and the baby has wean before 1 year old because of some reasons such “susu dah kering” , “ p kursus 3 hari, balik anak takmau dah” , “ ni anak dah no.3, susu kurang compare masa anak 1^st “

I even received a challenge .
“Saya nak tengok Dayah nak BF sampai anak no. berapa. Nanti anak seterusnya mesti tak buleh nak 100% sbb experience saya anak 1^st banyak mai anak ke-4 dah tak banyak”- dalam nada yang bukan encouraging but mencabar and to make me down

Hei, suka hati saya la nak BF sampai anak no berapa ka sampai bila ka ..? ( kata hati saya sudah mau mengamuk tapi berjaya cool ). But I accept it positively and take up the challenge.

Sometimes I argue back ( read as "debate in good manner") but sometime I just let it go..no point of arguing

We can’t predict our next BF journey as we never know the future. We might not know for instant if we will be on medication that disable us from BF our next baby. What we can do now is to ‘pasang niat’ to xclusively BF all our children and to appeal to Allah may He give us an ease journey and rezki ( abundance of BM ).

What is the motive behind the question ? I am thinking that they might be :

1) jealous as I can BF up to date, while they can’t – because they know the benefits of BF

2) OR I got myself into trouble with pumping gear,pumping rountine, baby ‘bergayut sampai tak buleh buat apa” while they are 'free'

3) OR they just think I’m too ambitious and don’t think I will achieve it because they prove that they can’t

4) OR they just wait for me to say “ Saya dah tak menyusu Shukrina sbb susu kering” OR “ Saya dah tak larat.bagi botol lagi senang".

5) OR they just want to motivate me to carry on , Go Dayah Go..
( ni ayat utk bersangka baik, tetapi kenapa ia berada di point terakhir ??)

BF is not competition.Who achieve 2 years is the winner, while less than that is looser. But if some people still treat is a competition , it should be a healthy competition .We don't want scarcity mentality but what we want is abundance mentality. People with an abundance mentality believe there are enough resources available to accomplish their goals. They also believe that their success doesn't mean failure for others. On the contrary, the more successful they are, the more others are affected in a positive way.

We would like to encourage everybody to BF as long as they can. We don’t look down to mother that can’t BF but we are lending a hand to help and share our experience &knowledge

Set your goal, gain knowledge and go for it. For those who meet the target, congratulations! I know is not a’ bed of roses ‘ journey. I admit that I have no guarantee to 100% supplying Shukrina with BM until she is 2 years as I have no more stock in my fridge and my pumping output today is for Shukrina tomorrow’s input .Everyday comes with hard work to pump and doa. But I do hope that able to BF her until 2 years.

This is a lesson to learn. I started with zero stock after confinement and rapidly build it up.You can read my experience here. Alhamdulillah Shukrina is consuming ummi’s milk until today.I should be prepared early (stocks) for my 2^nd baby. Thank you to all SI members that really encourage and motivate me.

How was my 60 minutes Earth Hour last night ...?? As what I planned before ?

I attended one of my old friend wedding in the afternoon. Since I went together with my aunt, so I lepak bit longer at her house (rumah tu bukan asing - is where I lived before-kira kampung saya le tu )

So I planned to vote for Earth Hour at my kampung. since abi is not with us, so why dont I do it with my relatives. In the evening we went our to store nearby to buy stuff for dinner. and I grab 2 box of candles. I was standing next to ~10-year-old boy and saying that I need candle too (looking at him choosing the candle ) .

"Tonite going to off the light"

He showed his thumb up to me ( dalam hati rasanya dia kata..yeah...let's support Earth Hour tonite)

At home, we cooked dinner and began to light up the candles and arrange all over the hall. Called abi to remind him(since he was alone at our home ).Then we had our candle light dinner together at 8.30pm . I was happy to have cousin's children who were very supportive . They also sign the Earth Hour campaign at school and keep reminding their mother adn grandparents to switch off lights. Some of our neighbour also showed their support. Is a good sign even most of the residents there is 'orang-orang lama'

It was raining outside and I decided to go back after dinner. I hope can reach Penang Bridge before the time over. Since the bridge vote for Earth Hour, so I would like to know,how was it ?

Even is not 100% off, but Penang bridge manage to reduce the usage . Since the bridge is still under renovation and for safety purpose ,I would say abot 30-35% lights off along the bridge. But the most significant is of course the Penang bridge trademark ( yang tengah tengah tu-bentuk triangle ).. all the lights were off ...hoorray !!

I reached home at about 9.25pm. 5minutes to go.Our house is totally blackout..I thought abi went outside/ pasarmalam nearby.But he quietly in the house with pc on...alamak.. defeat the purpose la..tapi takpalah..he might be bored alone in the dark house.

So, that was my story. how about you in voting the Earth Hour?

Each of us contributes, working hand in hand to meet our organization’s goal. Regardless you are CEO, MD, Director to normal employee, Janitor. And do not think that you are in the high position that even a small rubbish you create, other people has to responsible.

There is one janitor working in my company. Our janitor varies from local Malays, Chinese , Indians, Bangladeshi, Indonesian, Myanmar. This one Malay guy janitor is well known because his size, his unique name and among all, he is the one ‘special’. In Bahasa we address as “kurang cerdik”. I don’t think he is down syndrome patient, but he looks like one. Actually he is from well-to-do family. His father own a business but insisted him to work with other people to gain experience, be independent and grow mature

But he is a nice guy, hardworking and always say hi to people whenever he passes by. His main job is to clear all rubbish and throw into main bin .

One day while I was sitting waiting for shuttle , I saw him as usual pushing a big cart full of rubbish bags. I intentionally teased him, just to create a conversation.

“ Banyak sampah noo..hari hari pun kena buang banyak sampah”- me

“ tu lah..hari hari sampah”, he replied

From there on, everytime he sees me, he will say

“ Sampah..sampah..tiap2 hari pun banyak”

Until last week, I saw him talking to another janitor. He looked at me and expressed the same sentence. I was about to go and suddenly I changed my mind and turn back to him. He was grumbling about the sampah thing..

“banyak sampah la Kak Long ".( Kak Long referring to me )

“Takpa..lagi banyak sampah ada lagi byk …. Dapat pahala. Allah sayang kat orang yg tolong clear sampah2 ni..besaq pahala tau” -me

I stopped there. He is kind of shocked, why suddenly me talking to him like that. Actually is just came out from my mouth. I never think of/ prepare my words

But this is one of Influence I can work on. Rather than sympathizing to him because clearing the sampah ( sampah is a concern) , nothing much you can do to reduce it. So better to work on Circle of Influence ( I’m in the mood of elaborating the previous topic ). Give him some motivation that can re-direct his perception to his work.

After talking him, I remember when the time arwah mama is still around. She knows that I am not in favor for cooking. I rather clean toilet and will try all sort of detergent in store to satisfy me while she cooking alone. ( sekali panggil takmau mai, 2 kali panggil, mama malas dah nak soh..but not all the time la) .I love cleaning toilet because I remember there is one tazkirah from one ustaz…Allah likes people who clean their toilet because this people love cleanliness, hygiene. And Allah much much more love people who likes stay hygienic .
