Mysha's Cukur Rambut and Mummies Day Out....with babies

- Brought Aaron and Ashraf, with my maid to meet Shaikha and handsome Zed at Farah's.
- We were welcomed by adorable and pretty princess Mysha and her sweet mummy.
- It was our first meeting with Farah and we felt to close like long-time friends, she is such a great host. THanks Farah!

We left at 3.15pm and headed to Changi AIrport to meet our KMC mummies. But last minute, some of them could not make it. Only this very rajin mummy came with 3 kids in tow... Mel!!! I dont think I can handle my boys when taking them out without my maid or hubby.
Anyway, it was great meeting Shaikha and Mel.... plus kids after about 1.5yrs of not meeting them.
Looking forward for more dates with KMC mommies...hopefully to meet all of them again soon.

Cherish your Loved Ones

An email received from a dear friend.

READ THIS!!!! and then reread it. Especially the last part...

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.

He often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look for something special. I knew what he was up to. I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands.

He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since he had passed on.

Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two.

Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how he had loved his steak.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and lovely in a soft
green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her basket.. hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks.

She saw me watching her and she smiled. 'My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know.'

I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.

'My husband passed away eight days ago,' I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. 'Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.'

She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away.

I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice
cream cone.

I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile! I had ever seen. I would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine.

As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. 'These are for you,' she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. 'When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for.' She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision.

I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seem
ed so clear. I wasn't alone.

Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are.
(Please read all of this, it is really nice)

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, God that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible. Thank you, God, that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, God, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud.

Thank you, God, for
my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced.

Thank you, God, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, God, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest.

Thank you, God, for life.

Pass this on to the friends you know. It might help a bit to make this world a better place to live, right? A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone to treasure.

For friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with Beauty, Joy and Grace and makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND!

God bless you and yours.

Get a good night sleep once and for all - Article

Check out our list of surprising sleep stealers and expert advice on how to stop them.

1. A medical condition

If you can't fall or stay asleep most nights of the week, chances are insomnia isn't your only issue. According to a report from the University of Oklahoma, 75 to 80 percent of people with chronic sleep problems suffer from another health condition. After all, it's hard to sleep if your joints are aching from arthritis, you're drenched from night sweats or you're always sneezing from allergies. Common culprits for women include undiagnosed sleep apnea, a condition in which you stop breathing for as long as 30 seconds at a time during the night, and restless leg syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes an urge to move your legs while you're asleep. Various medications can also cause sleep disturbances.

2. Noise and light

These sound like no-brainers, but what you may not realize is that even the slightest sound or glimmer of light can be enough to interfere with the most restorative stages of sleep (rapid eye movement, or REM) and your body's production of melatonin, a hormone that helps lull you into dreamland, says Joyce A. Walsleben, Ph.D., diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and associate professor at the NYU School of Medicine. "Even the glow of a digital clock or television noise from down the hall can get in the way," says Richard Gelula, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation in Washington, DC.

Ideally, complete darkness is best (try blackout curtains/shades or an eye mask). When it comes to noise, a fan on a constant speed or white-noise machine can help block out traffic and a snoring bedmate. But skip the nature sounds or a soothing talk show host: Your brain registers changes in tone, even if they're slight, and this can wake you.

3. Caffeine

You know that caffeine keeps you up, but you may be surprised at just how long it can affect you. Caffeine can take seven to eight hours to work its way out of your system, says Dr. Walsleben. "If you have trouble sleeping, cut it off by noon."

4. Alcohol and cigarettes

A nightcap may make you sleepy initially, but it delays the start of your first REM cycle, so you may end up having fewer of them during the night and won't feel well-rested, says Dr. Walsleben. Drinking also can cause night sweats and wake you up to go to the bathroom. So don't overdo it, and make last call at least three hours before bedtime.

As for smoking, you can add insomnia to the long list of health problems it causes, since nicotine is a stimulant.

5. Bad sleep habits

You need a buffer between the activities of the day and sleeptime—and watching TV until you doze off doesn't count. Start winding down at least an hour before bed. The key is to make pre-bedtime quiet—so ban newspapers, television or anything stressful. Give pillow-hogging pets the boot, too.

As for the bedroom itself, keep it a comfortable temperature (around 69 degrees is ideal), use comfy linens and pillows, and clear the clutter. "Use the bed just for sleeping and for sex," says Michael H. Silber, M.D., past president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

To help figure out what you may be doing wrong, keep a sleep diary to track what you're doing before you hit the sack, and how ready you feel for bed both physically and mentally. Download one at shuteye.com (click on "Sleep Solutions" and then "Discover Patterns").

6. Your genes

Another thing to blame on Mom (or Dad): A predisposition to being a night owl or early morning person can be inherited, explains Dr. Walsleben. Certain sleep disorders (like narcolepsy, which causes an overwhelming urge to fall asleep sporadically during the day) have a genetic component.

Your anatomy is also largely dictated by your genes, so if obesity, a receding jaw or a deviated septum (which makes breathing difficult) run in your family, you may be more prone to problems such as sleep apnea.

The stress connection

When you’re stressed, your body produces hormones like norepinephrine and adrenaline, which rev you up and make it harder to sleep, says Joyce Walsleben, Ph.D. Use these techniques to quiet your chattering mind.

1. Write it down
In the afternoon, take a few minutes to grab a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one side, list the worries that keep you up at night. On the other, jot down possible solutions."If you worry about not being able to pay your bills, the solution may be as simple as deciding on a payment plan," says Dr. Walsleben.

2. Practice mindful meditation
Several times throughout the day, find a quiet place for 3 to 4 minutes, take some deep breaths and try to picture specific thoughts drifting through your mind one at a time. Watch while they drift out of view (imagine a news ticker in which words run across the screen and then disappear).

3. Try left-nostril breathing
Spend 5 to 10 minutes before you go to bed consciously inhaling through your left nostril and exhaling through the right one (you can use your finger to block one side of your nose and then the other). Yoga practitioners believe that the left side of the body is associated with nighttime, relaxation and quietness, says Havi Brooks, founder of The Fluent Self, a mind-body habit-changing program.

Frankly, I am lazy to exercise. Very!!! Since school days hokay! But these 4 heroes of mine are so hyper that there's no way I can be lazy. Whenever hb is around, he would take the 3 boys out for a run...just to make them tired. I would be at home; either sleeping, on my laptop, with my baby or watching tv. I do not join them. Yes! Lazy bum!

But for the past few days, I had to realllly do things with them.

1) Walked from Tampines alllll the way to Pasir Ris DTE. The boys swam at the pool while mummy relaxed after a long walk.

2) Played badminton (4 times last week)

3) Played catching (yessssssss....mummy main kejar-kejar.)

4) Played ball game - volleyball, football, basketball...

5) Played skate-scooter (tried a few times but too scared....hehhe) ended up having my maid playing with them...nasib skate scooter tak pecah...heheh

Not forgetting the little baby... makes me carry weight...well... carry him to be exact. So the very manja since daddy left that he simply refused to be rocked to sleep on his bouncer.

On Saturday afternoon I will be taking the kids to the airport to fetch hb home. After that he will take over and be the entertainer. I need a break!!!

However, before that....another activity for the boys tomorrow... this time.... a girl's thing... no! not dressing up.... it's baking time!!!! I wanna bake Nutella cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes, orange cupcakes and strawberry cupcakes!!!! wooooohoooooo.... so many cupcakes to eat!

A meaningful story to share

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died.

The mother was stunned! She was terrified how she was going to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.


QUESTIONS:

1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?

Scroll down to read.... 






 

 

 

ANSWER:

The husband just said "I am with you Darling".

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.  Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child.  What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY
This story is really worth reading. Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

no need to carry on
now that you're gone

CHORUS
Knife

how will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
knife
cuts like a knife
you cut away the heart of my life

When I pretend when I smile
to fool my dearest friends
I wonder if they know
it's just a show
I'm on a stage day or night
through my charades
but how can I disguise
what's in my eyes
(Repeat CHORUS)

Oh oh oh oh oh ...

I try and try locking up
the pain I feel inside
the pain of wanting you
wanting you
(Repeat CHORUS p.s.- hb, i miss you!!!!!!!!!!!

The Beauty of Breathing

Stress is the epidemic of our age. Although we view it as a problem, it's actually essential to our survival; it's how we react to it that can cause trouble. When faced with a threat, our brains release the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisone, which activate the body to defend itself. Breathing quickens and muscles tense in what is known as the "fight or flight" response … our bodies are preparing to do battle, or run for our lives.

This is vital when confronted with a physical danger; but unlike our ancestors, we're less likely to run from our problems these days, more likely to sit there stewing … or reach for the cookie jar. Unchecked by physical activity, the outpouring of stress hormones can result in symptoms such as habitual over-breathing, dizziness and anxiety attacks.

Relaxation Response
Good news, though: The fight-or-flight response can be countered by what psychologists call the "relaxation response." Learning how to relax unlocks tight muscles and leaves you calm; breath control is the first step toward this blissful state.

In most cases, this means learning to breathe more slowly and evenly, because many of us hyperventilate (over breathe) when stressed or excited. Persistent rapid breathing interferes with the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our bodies, causing feelings of breathlessness and panic. This only increases feelings of stress, creating a vicious circle.

The answer: Learn to breathe slowly. Try this six-part breathing routine. When relaxed, you should take about 10 breaths a minute.

1. Time yourself: Start off by holding your breath for 10 seconds.
   
   
2. Then breathe out, mentally repeating the word "relax" as you do so.
   
   
3. Now inhale for three seconds, and exhale for three seconds.
   
   
4. Repeat for one minute (or 10 complete breaths in and out).
   
   
5. Now hold your breath for 10 seconds, again repeating "relax" (you may also like to visualize some tranquil scene, such as a peaceful beach or quiet forest).
   
   
6. Keep repeating this cycle until stress symptoms disappear; practice regularly every day until slow breathing becomes automatic.
   
   

Breathe Through The Pain
Chronic pain sufferers are encouraged to learn to control their breathing, as are women in labor. That's because pain increases muscle tension, which in turn increases the sensation of pain.

Controlling your breathing won't get rid of the pain, but it will reduce your perception of it by lessening that tension. It will also promote restful sleep, which also helps relieve pain.

I wish you Enough

Received this from a friend via email.....

 

Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough".

The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom".


They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?".

"Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?".

"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.

"When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means? ".

She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone". She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled! even more. "When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.  

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

She then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them.


TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....

To all my friends and loved ones,
I WISH YOU ENOUGH 

 

 

How to Keep Your Love Alive

The biggest challenge in any relationship is keeping a good set of checks and balances. A marriage, or any romantic relationship for that matter, depends on the smallest of details and the largest of emotions.

 

Things You'll Need

• A Good Relationship
• A Loving Heart
• A Sense of Appreciation
• Patience

Steps

 

Step One

 

The first thing to remember is that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a kiss is worth a thousand lifetimes. There will be so many opportunities to kiss your partner in a day that counting them will make your head swim. Don't waste your time counting the opportunities you had to kiss. Use it taking the opportunities you can. Just be careful not to overdo it and end up coming off as obsessive.

 

Step Two

 

Don't forget that the soft touch is the universal language. You can tell your wife or partner so much by just touching them. A light touch on the neck, a tickle on the small of the back, a gentle kiss on the ear lobe can translate into so many things. It could tell your partner that you love them, are amazed by them, or that you want them. It could also just tell them that you love them.

Step Three

 

Distance is key to any part of a relationship. Distance is two-fold. First is physical distance. Don't crowd your partner to where they are uncomfortable or feel the need to "scoot over". Do let them know that you want to be close to them, that your personal space is their space. This shows trust and welcome and will let them know that there is no place near you that they are unwelcome. Second is emotional space. Share this with them willingly and openly, without restraint. They will tell you what is "too far" or uncomfortable for them. This shows trust, confidence, and honor toward them. By combining the two types of space you are giving them, freely, one hundred percent of yourself.

 

Step Four

The physical relationship is a key to the overall emotional one. Take time to focus on what your partner finds physically pleasing. You should already know some of their hot-buttons. Use them to get a little more attention. Ask IF your partner would like to try something new. If they say yes, then ask WHAT they would like to try. If they say no then don't press the issue. Patience is key here, as it will all come in time.

Overall Tips & Warnings

• Try daily to remember why you are together in the first place.
• Try daily to make more memorable moments.
• Everyday will not be bliss, but making the effort will create more bliss than no effort at all.
• Sudden changes in your daily routine can be a little scary for your partner. Don't move too fast.

Ilmu Sains vs Ilmu Islam

Somethine to share. Got this from
a friend.
size=3> 
Pertembungan sains dengan
Islam, mana nak dipilih?

Dalam artikel lalu saya telah menceritakan
tentang pengaruh permakanan dalam pembinaan gigi yang cantik.

Sila baca
artikel saya bertajuk "Agar gigi anak-anak tersusun rapi."

Dalam artikel
ini saya menceritakan pengalaman diberikan Allah anak sulung dengan memberikan
anak manja ini makanan rapu.

Sebenarnya, melalui anak yang sulung ini,
begitu banyak Allah memberikan ilmu melalui pengalaman membesarkannya.
Alhamdulillah bersyukur saya di atas segala nikmat yang diberikanNya.


Dari tahun 1980 hingga 1985, saya mengajar di tiga buah sekolah dari SMK
Sultan Ahmad Shah Cameron Highland, Sekolah Mahmud Raub dan akhir sekali di
Sekolah Menengah Sains Raub. Saya mengajar subjek utama biologi tingkatan 4 dan
5 di samping beberapa subjek lain. Dalam subjek biologi ini saya menggalakkan
pelajar saya untuk memakan hati kerana menurut sains, hati kaya dengan pelbagai
khasiat seperti sumber zat besi yang sangat diperlukan oleh tubuh badan. Saya
tidak pernah membuktikan sama ada benar dakwaan sains ini tetapi itulah yang
perlu saya ajarkan kerana ia terdapat di dalam sukatan pelajaran biologi dari
dulu sampai sekarang.

Para doktor juga telah diberikan ilmu yang sama
iaitu hati sama ada hati ayam atau hati lembu mengandungi sumber zat besi yang
tinggi yang sangat diperlukan tubuh. Namun Islam mengajarkan sesuatu yang
bertentangan sama sekali dengan ilmu sains ini iaitu mafhumnya lebih kurang
begini "Janganlah kamu makan organ dalaman".

Walau pun Nabi berkata
jangan tetapi ulamak lebih menjatuhkan hukum makhruh dalam keadaan ini dan bukan
mengharamkannya. Organ dalaman adalah organ selain daging yang terkandung dalam
tubuh haiwan seperti:
1.        Hati
2.  
     Jantung
3.        Paru-paru
4.
       Perut
5.        Hempedal

6.        Buah pinggang
7.      
 Jantung
8.        Telur ayam yang belum keluar
dari perut ayam
9.        Telur ikan.

Sains
menggalakkan makan hati kerana khasiat zat besinya yang sangat diperlukan
manusia sedangkan Islam melarang dari memakan hati ini.

Mana yang anda
pilih? Sains atau pesan Nabi Muhammad SAW ini?

Kembali kepada pengalaman
membesarkan anak sulung 25 tahun lalu, setelah berbagai makanan rapu termasuk
berbagai jenama minuman bergas diberikan, sewaktu anak saya berusia 2 tahun, ia
sudah menghadapi satu masalah, beliau mudah letih dan tidak bermaya. Saya dan
isteri membawa anak kesayangan ke klinik di Raub Pahang. Doktor Cina di klinik
ini sangat rapat dengan saya dan isteri kerana isteri doktor ini mengajar
matapelajaran Biologi di sekolah yang sama dengan Isteri saya.

Setelah
membuat semakan dan ujian termasuk melihat di dalam kelopak mata bahagian bawah,
doktor mengatakan bahawa anak saya sudah mempunyai masalah anemia atau bahasa
mudahnya kurang darah atau lebih tepatnya darah anak saya ini kekurangan sel
darah merah menyebabkan warna darahnya kurang merah. Doktor menasihati kami
berdua agar memberikan anak sulung kami ini makan banyak hati seperti hati ayam.


oktor juga ada memberikan supplement untuk anak kami tersebut Bermula
dari saat ini setiap kali balik dari sekolah, sewaktu singgah di pasar Raub,
saya akan membeli sekilo hati ayam untuk diberikan kepada anak disamping makanan
ayah dan ibunya. Walaupun dengan supplement dan hati ayam yang diberikan,
keadaan kesihatan anak saya semakin merosot.

Ia semakin sangat mudah
letih. Beliau hanya akan menjadi penonton apabila sepupunya bermain atau
rakan-rakannya berlari berkejar-kejaran.

Perniagaan doktor ini semakin
maju maklumlah saya kerap ke kliniknya boleh dikatakan setiap bulan selain dari
sakit demam. Pada usia anak saya ini 4 tahun, doktor Cina ini dah surrender dan
merujukkan kes anak saya ini ke Hospital Universiti Petaling Jaya.

Saya
dan isteri terpaksa mengambil cuti membawa anak menemui doktor pakar
kanak-kanak. Anak saya diambil darahnya dan doktor minta anak saya dimasukkan ke
dalam wad kanak-kanak.

Bacaan hemoglobin dalam darah anak saya cuma 4.2
sedangkan orang biasa sepatutnya dalam lingkungan 12 dan ke atas. Allah saja
yang mengetahuinya azab yang kami lalui. Hasil pemeriksaan doktor, mereka

mengatakan anak saya kena anemia Talesemia (umur sel darah merah pendek
berbanding normal 120 hari). Saya tidak ada ilmu ketika itu tentang apa itu
(Talesemia). Saya menelefon kakak ipar saya di Tapah bertanyakan apa itu
Talesemia.

Subhanallah, penjelasannya sangat mengerikan. Kanak-kanak
penghidap talesemia selalu nya meninggal dunia sebelum usia mencecah 7 tahun.


Adakah saya akan kehilangan anak sulung yang dikasihi?

Sudah
tidak tahu apa yang perlu dibuat, saya berkunjung ke sebuah farmasi di Kajang
mencari sesuatu yang boleh saya usahakan untuk mengubati masalah anak saya. Saya
ternampak sebuah ubat supplement buatan Amerika dalam bentuk cecair bernama
NUTROPLEX.

Saya tawakkal membelinya dan memberikan ubat ini kepada anak
saya. Alhamdulillah bacaan hemoglobin anak saya meningkat sehingga ada waktunya
kepada bacaan 7.

Satu perkara lain selain masalah masalah yang telah
disebutkan di atas, anak saya ini kerap sekali menghadapi demam secara purata 2
kali sebulan dari usia 2 tahun sehingga berusia 13 tahun. Pendek kata, sekolah
memang terpaksa selalu tidak hadir kerana demam.

Begitulah masalah yang
kami hadapi membesarkan anak sulung ini sehingga berusia 13 tahun. Kerap demam
dan tidak bermaya serta mudah letih.

Kemuncak masalah ini ialah bila
satu ketika saya mendapat panggilan telefon dari isteri mengatakan anak saya
terpaksa dimasukkan ke hospital kerana demam yang serius. Waktu ini saya sudah
mula berguru dengan arwah guru saya. Segala masalah anak saya sudah sedia dalam
makluman arwah guru cuma menanti saat yang sesuai sahaja untuk memberitahu
kepada saya.

Dalam saat kebingungan mengenangkan anak dimasukkan ke
hospital kerana demam yang serius, saya menelefon arwah guru saya. Setelah saya
menjelaskan cerita sebenarnya, arwah memberitahu saya agar mencari sebanyak
mungkin buah delima masak di mana-mana kampung dan berikanlah makan kepada anak
saya. Alhamdulillah saya berjaya mencari agak banyak juga buah delima kampung
dan saya menyuapkan kepada anak saya. Alhamdulillah selepas beberapa hari, anak
saya dibenarkan keluar dari wad hospital.

Bermula dari saat inilah saya
terpaksa akur sahaja dengan apa yang disarankan oleh arwah guru saya.
Sebelumnya, saya memang banyak membantah kata-kata arwah guru, maklumlah saya
lulusan universiti
(biologi & kimia) sedangkan arwah guru sekadar
pengamal perubatan tradisional dan tok guru agama. Arwah guru saya menasihati
agar :
1.        Elakkan dari makan sebarang organ
 dalaman seperti hati dsbnya.
2.        Elakkan
makanan rapu seperti coklat, maggi mee, twisties, ding dang, double decker,
burger, naget, sausage dan sebagainya
3.        Elakkan
minuman bergas
4.        Elakkan jeruk-jeruk kering dan
basah
5.        Makan sayur-sayuran yang berzat seperti
sayuran hijau dan pahit.
6.        Makan buah delima

7.        Makan epal hijau.

Selepas tiada
pilihan (doktor dan pakar sudah diusahakan) melainkan mencuba kaedah rawatan
arwah guru semata-mata, akhirnya saya bersyukur kepada Allah SWT bahawa inilah
kaedah yang tepat untuk merawat kes anak saya. Sejak dari saat ini, anak saya
ini kelihatan semakin sihat dan segar dan akhirnya kekerapan menghidap demam pun
telah menjadi sejarah.

Syukur Alhamdulillah terima kasih kepada Mu ya
Allah di atas rahmatMu. Bermula dari saat ini saya sudah berpusing 180 darjah.
Saya menyumpah kepada ilmu sains yang mengajarkan bahawa makan hati boleh
membawa kebaikan kepada manusia. Saya menyumpah juga kepada diri saya yang
selama ini mengajarkan kepada pelajar-pelajar saya satu ilmu yang sebenarnya
membawa mudharat kepada manusia.

Ampunilah dosa ku ya Allah kerana
mengajarkan ilmu sesat di sekolah dahulu (ilmu makan hati untuk menambah darah).


Saya yakin bahawa saranan ilmu sains bahawa memakan hati haiwan adalah
baik untuk menambah darah adalah ilmu songsang yang diajarkan oleh orang Yahudi
agar umat manusia menjadi tidak sihat. Orang Yahudi ini beranggapan jikalau
dunia ini dipenuhi oleh orang Yahudi semata-mata, alangkah indahnya. Mereka
ingin membunuh umat lain selain Yahudi secara senyap. Tanggapan saya ini adalah
berdasarkan bahawa orang Yahudi ini sangat mempelajari ilmu di dalam Al Quran
dan hadis cuma mereka tidak beriman sahaja. Mereka ingin menggunakan ilmu ini
untuk merosakkan dan membunuh umat Islam.

Saya berkata demikian kerana
ilmu sains dari barat mengajarkan untuk memakan hati sedangkan orang Yahudi ,
Amerika dan England tidak makan hati. Mereka juga tidak makan kepala ikan
seperti disarankan Nabi sedangkan orang Melayu Islam di Malaysia makan hati dan

kepala ikan.

Memakan hati bukan sekadar tidak membantu meningkatkan
paras hemoglobin darah malahan memakannya akan mengundang pelbagai mudharat lain
yang Allah dan RasulNya saja yang mengetahui dengan tepat. Pengalaman anak saya
serta didiagnosed oleh doktor sebagai pesakit leukemia sudah cukup mengajar saya
betapa mudharatnya memakan hati. Anak saya telah memakan hati ayam dengan begitu
banyak sekali semenjak berusia 2 hingga 13 tahun.

Subhanallah.


Kepada mereka yang taksub dengan ilmu sains dan perubatan moden,
waspadalah, berbagai agenda tersembunyi dimasukkan oleh Yahudi dan Nasrani di
dalam ilmu sains dan perubatan moden. Mereka mengajarkan tidak ada ubat bagi
menyembuhkan penyakit seperti diabetes, jantung dan bengkak hati sedangkan Allah
dengan jelas menyatakan setiap penyakit diturunkan Allah bersama ubat melainkan
mati.

Kepada ibu bapa yang bakal mendapat kenaikan gaji baru pada Ogos
akan datang ini, saya ingin berpesan bahawa kitalah sebenarnya yang banyak
meracuni anak-anak dan diri kita sendiri dengan cara memberikan makanan yang
sama sekali tidak sepatutnya untuk dimakan oleh anak-anak dan diri kita.


Setengah manusia sangat redha dan seronok untuk diracuni dengan
menghisap rokok, minum arak dan menghisap dadah.

Sekian wassalam

Romantiknyerrr...

Received this email from a friend and sharing it with you....

 Assalamualaikum.

Kisah-kisah rumahtangga, sebut-sebut pasal POLIGAMI, bincang-bincang suami lebih muda dari isteri dan pelbagai cerita serta tauladan yang dapat diambil marilah kita bersama-sama talaudani kisah ROMANTIK RASULULLAH SAW bersama isterinya.

Rasulullah SAW adalah contoh yang terbaik seorang suami yang mengamalkan sistem Poligami. Baginda romantik kepada kesemua isterinya. disebutkan satu kisah pada suatu hari isteri-isteri baginda berkumpul dihadapan baginda lalu bertanya "siapakah diantara mereka (isteri-isteri) baginda yang paling disayangi". Rasulullah SAW hanya tersenyum lalu berkata, "Saya akan beritahu kamu kemudian."

Selepas daripada pertemuan itu, Rasulullah telah memberikan setiap seorang daripada isteri-isteri baginda sebentuk cincin. Baginda berpesan supaya tidak memberitahu kepada isteri-isteri yang lain. Lalu suatu hari hari mereka berkumpul lagi dan bertanyakan soalan yang sama. Rasulullah SAW lalu menjawab "Orang yang paling aku sayangi ialah yang kuberikan cincin kepadanya". Isteri-isteri baginda tersenyum puas kerana menyangka hanya diri mereka sahaja yang mendapat cincin dan merasakan bahawa diri mereka tidak terasing.

Tidak ketinggalan amalan-amalan lain yang boleh dilakukan untuk mendapat suasana romantik ini Rasulullah SAW ada bersabda yang bermaksud: "Apabila pasangan suami isteri berpegangan tangan, dosa-dosa akan keluar melalui celah-celah jari mereka".
 Rasulullah SAW selalu berpegangan tangan dengan Aisyah ketika di dalam rumah. Baginda acap kali memotong kuku isterinya, mandi junub bersama, dan mengajak salah seorang dari isteri baginda pergi musafir (mengikut undian) untuk menambahkan lagi kasih sayang di antara mereka.

Inilah serba sedikit kisah romantik Rasulullah SAW agar dapat kita tauladani dan praktikkan dalam kehidupan berumahtangga. Pada suami-suami yang budiman selepas ini peganglah tangan isteri anda setiap waktu, setiap masa dan setiap saat begitu juga pada isteri-isteri solehah peganglah tangan suami anda bagi menghapuskan segala dosa-dosa.

Pada yang belum berumahtangga tu cepat-cepatlah mendirikan rumahtangga kerana dengan perkahwinan itu boleh menjamin anda kesyurga.
"Ya Allah cantikkanlah akhlak ku seperti mana cantiknya akhlak Rasulullah SAW, tenangkanlah hati ku bagai tenangnya air di tasik, dan berikanlah wajahku bagai bercahayanya bulan purnama di hari berserinya wajah orang-orang beriman..." aaaammmmmiiiiin Ya Rabbal 'Alamin ......................

PETUA

Tahukah anda mengamal minum secawanair teh "O" setiap pagi boleh mengawal berat badan anda. InsyaAllah jika anda mengamalkannya, berat badan anda akan berkurangan (memang terbukti keberkesanan).

Al-Quran juga ada mengajar kita menjaga kesihatan spt membuat amalan spt:

1. Mandi awal pagi sebelum subuh @ sekurang kurangnya sejam sebelum
matahari naik. Air sejuk yang meresap ke dalam badan boleh mengurangkan
lemak berkumpul. Kita boleh saksikan org mengamal mandi awal pagi
kebanyakan badan tak gemuk.

2. Rasulullah mengamalkan minum segelas air sejuk setiap pagi. Mujarabnya
InsyaAllah jauh dari penyakit. (susah nak kena sakit).

3. Waktu sembahyang subuh disunatkan kita bertafakur (iaitu sujud sekurang
kurangnya seminit selepas membaca doa). Ia boleh mengelak dari sakit pening @ migrain. Ini terbukti oleh para saintis yg membuat kajian kenapa dalam sehari perlu kita sujud. Ahli-ahli sains telah menemui beberapa milimeter ruang udara dalam saluran darah di kepala yg tidak dipenuhi darah. Dengan bersujud, maka darah akan mengalir ke ruang berkenaan.

4. Dalam kitab juga ada melarang kita makan makanan darat bercampur dengan makanan laut. Nabi pernah menegah kita makan ikan bersama susu, dikhuatiri akan cepat mendapat penyakit. Ini terbukti oleh saintis yang menjumpai di manadalam badan ayam mengandungi ion (+) manakala dalam ikan mengandungi ion (-). Jika dalam suapan ayam bercampur dengan ikan maka terjadi tindakan balas biokimia yng terhasil yg boleh merosakkan usus kita.

5. Nabi juga mengajar kita makan dengan tangan dan bila habis hendaklah
menjilat jari. Begitu juga ahli saintis telah menjumpa bahawa enzime banyak
terkandung di celah jari jari, iaitu 10 kali ganda terdapat dalam air liur.
(enzime sejenis alat percerna makanan, tanpanya makanan tidak hadam)

Sabda Nabi, ilmu itu milik Tuhan, barang siapa menyebarkan ilmu demi kebaikan, insyaAllah Tuhan akan menggandakan 10 kali kepadanya.

Wassalammu'alaikum W W

 

Effects of Cold Water

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead
to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.  

A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.

Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound
sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

Travelling with Your Luggage - Be careful

School holiday is a good time to go holiday uh? But please be careful with your luggage.

This video shows how easily your checked-in luggage can be opened without much trouble.

Bear in mind that what can be removed from your luggage can also be the other way round - drugs, firearms, bombs, deadly snakes or tarantulas can be placed inside your luggage too!

This video shows how easy it is to break open your zippered baggage. The worse is you may not even notice about it until you open your baggage after your arrival to your destiny. It is much better for you to keep your valuables with your hand carry.... On the other hand, if you lost our key... you can do the same!

DON'T WORRY IF YOU LOST YOUR KEY.. - Watch more funny videos here

Kindergarten Concert 2007 at ITE College East

The Finale.....

Kindergarten Concert 2007 at ITE College East

Ashraf participated in the school concert yesterday. I woke him up at 7am, got him ready in his costume - yellow leotard and as requested by his teacher... some light make up. I really do not like to make him up. OH please! We sent him to school at 8.15am and I was shocked to see other boys make-up were so 'wayang'! I was hoping that the teacher would not add any more colours to his face!!!

HB and I had breakfast, went home to change and off to ITE College East.

He was a Seahorse. A chubby seahorse in The Little Mermaid!

After the concert, I realised that his make-up too had became so 'wayang'. Had a hard time removing the make up from his face. I do not want to go out with my son with make-up on like a girl!!! heeh..

How to choose Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Apples

Look for firm apples that are free of bruises. For red-colored varieties, look for apples that are mostly red. For yellow-colored apples, look for apples that are mostly bright yellow. Red and yellow apples that have several patches of green color are generally not as tasty as bright red and yellow apples.

Handle apples with care to prevent bruising.

Apples are in season from October to about late April.

Asparagus

Look for straight, bright-green stalks with stiff tips. For optimal nutritional value and flavor, steam asparagus instead of boiling it.

Asparagus is in season from March to about June.

Bananas

Look for bananas that do not have bruises or soft spots, especially along the undersides of the bottom-most row. If left at room temperature, bananas that are any shade of green should eventually ripen. Extra-ripe bananas can be peeled and stored in a container in the freezer for smoothies or banana ice cream (made with a champion juicer).

Bananas are imported year-round.

Beets

Choose beets that are firm and attached to red stems and fresh green tops. Loose beets without their tops are typically older than those that are attached to their green tops.

Beets are in season from about mid-June to mid-October.

Blueberries

For fresh blueberries, look for firm berries. You really can't go wrong with frozen wild blueberries, which are available year-round.

Fresh blueberries are in season from about mid-June to mid to late August.

Broccoli

Look for tightly budded heads that are dark green in color.

Broccoli is in season from July to October.

Carrots

Look for firm carrots with relatively smooth skin. Avoid thick carrots, as they often have tough centers.

If you buy fresh bunched carrots with green tops, remove the tops before storing, as they can suck moisture and nutrients away from the roots.

Carrots are available year-round, but are best from July to September.

Cucumbers

Look for firm, unblemished, and dark green cucumbers.

Cucumbers are in season from June to September.

Eggplant

Choose eggplants that are heavy for their size and have smooth skin.

Eggplants are in season from August to September.

Fresh Figs (not dried)

Choose plump figs that seem heavy for their size. Be sure to pick ones that smell nice; old figs tend to smell a tad sour.

Fresh figs are in season from about mid-May to mid-October.

Garlic

Look for plump and firm bulbs that are completely surrounded by their tissue-like covering. Avoid ones that have green sprouts.

Garlic is in season from August to October.

Grapes

Choose grapes that are firm; soft grapes or those that feel like little water balloons tend to be too ripe. If possible, use a tissue to wipe down a single grape for a taste test before choosing each cluster.

Grapes are in season from August to September. Imported grapes are available year-round.

Hass Avocados

Choose avocados that have roughly-textured skin; those that are relatively smooth skinned tend to have less flavor. Avocados are ready to eat when their skins are dark and they give a little to slight pressure.

Hass avocados are in season from February to October.

Honeydew Melons

Look for melons that are free of bruises and areas of broken skin/rind. Leave at room temperature until they give ever so slightly to heavy pressure. Their skins may wrinkle slightly and they may give off a mild melon fragrance when they are ripe.

Honeydew melons are in season from August to October.

Leeks

Look for leeks that have dark green leaves and white bulbs. Leaves that have yellow and brown spots are usually overripe.

Leeks are in season from August to November.

Mushrooms

Look for mushrooms that are free of bruises and other blemishes. Fresh mushrooms are not wrinkled or slimy.

Mushrooms are in season from October to November.

Onions

When looking for dry onions, choose those that are firm and have no soft spots.

When looking for green onions, choose those that have bright green leaves and are not slimy.

Dry onions are in season from September to December.

Green onions are in season from July to September.

Oranges

For eating out of hand, choose California navel oranges that are heavy for their size and without obvious blemishes.

California navel oranges are in season from about mid-November to late spring. They are sweetest from about January to early March.

Peaches

Choose peaches that have smooth skin without bruises, and that give a bit to pressure. Peaches that do not give to pressure can ripen, but often do not get as soft and sweet as those that are already somewhat ripe at the market.

Peaches are in season from July to September.

Pears

Choose pears that have smooth skin and no bruises.

Pears are in season from August to December.

Potatoes

Choose firm potatoes that are free of bruises and cracks.

Potatoes are in season from September to January.

Raspberries

Choose raspberries that are bright red. Look carefully to be sure that there are no signs of mould, the most common one being the presence of white, cotton-like strands in and around the berries.

Raspberries are in season from July to September.

Red Peppers

Choose red peppers that have thick, smooth skin.

Red peppers are in season from about May to September.

Spinach

Choose spinach that is dark green with no signs of yellowing, sliminess, or wilting.

Spinach is in season from June to October.

Strawberries

Choose strawberries that are plump, dark red, and without bruises. Fresh berries carry a distinct strawberry fragrance.

Strawberries are in season in June and early July.

Tomatoes

Choose tomatoes that are bright red, firm, and free of bruises. Like strawberries, fresh tomatoes will carry their own distinct fragrance.

If preparing tomato slices, slice them from top to bottom to prevent unnecessary loss of natural juices.

Field tomatoes are in season from August to September.

Watermelon

Look for a watermelon that has a firm, dark green rind. A slight hollow sound upon tapping with your knuckles is often a sign of a full and juicy melon.

Peak season for watermelons is from mid-May to late August.

Winter Squash

Look for squash that have hard, smooth skin.

Acorn and butternut squash are in season from September to December.

Yams

Choose yams that do not have any cracks or soft spots. Steaming is the best cooking method to preserve the nutritional value of yams.

Yams are in season from October to about March.

Zucchini

Choose zucchini that have firm, dark green skin. Old zucchini are soft and wrinkly.

Zucchini are in season from July to September.

A reply from Hubby

Since we found each other
Life has never been smoother
Every challenge and test that came
You made them stress-free all the same

The 4 smiling handsome faces that surround us above
Is a testimony of our family filled with love
You have been the guiding light like the northern star
This the boys will affirm wherever they may be, near or far.

We fit together like a glove, there is no-doubt
"I love You" the Love of My Life, I cannot do without
As we water the plant and sow the seeds of our Love, our Life
I raise both hands to HIM ... a word of Thanks
... for the boys, for YOU ... for US
... for what was, what is and what will be.

Thank you for all the joy that only a true Love can bring.

I surrender sincerely to be in your arms,
Your Husband.

To my dearest Hubby...

MY PROMISE TO YOU

I'll never forget,
The first time we met,
I remember it like it was yesterday,
It's stays deep in my heart,
The day you found me.
~*~
We have promised that we would give
To each other all there is to give
For as long as we both shall live.
~*~
I never want wealth or fame,
I only want to have your name,
I only want to wear
That tiny band of gold
And always have you to hold.
~*~
I will keep my promise to you,
I will never be untrue,
Even though sometimes I  will be
Away from you.
~*~
I will never break your heart,
I've always loved you from the start,
I must say to you this very special day,
I won't let it take my pride,
I want to be your bride. ---- Already your bride...
~*~
I will never let you feel empty inside,
I will never break the ties that bind,
I will never leave you behind,
I will never let our love die.
~*~
So I make another promise to you, my love,
We will live and we will learn,
And where ever you may go,
My heart will always follow.
~*~
And now it's plain to see,
The the promise's that I have made to thee,
Will show in time, you see,
That you and I will never be lonely,
I love this you and me.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA SEMUA....

 

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

Maaf Zahir & Batin!

It's ok Baby!

This morning at 2.00am, Aaron's mumbling woke me up. His body was hot. Quickly gave him his medications. While I was trying to put him to sleep, Ashraf started coughing and that made Aaron open his eyes big big!!! Alamak!!! I rushed to the kitchen to get Ashraf's medications. Both were awake till 3.30am. At 4.30am I woke up for sahur and started baking kuih tart for my sister. That was the best time to bake cause Aaron and Ashraf sleeps longer compare to afternoon naps. I finished baking at 8am.

Message my dearest hubby asking him if he received my sms last night. He said it's ok Baby. I understand. Please rest well and don't get stressed up.

Aaron is much better today. Perhaps will start baking at 2.00pm. A few more cookies and tomorrow starts to bake cakes for my mum. MIL, siblings and SIL, InsyaAllah....

 

Who's Next?

Amirul is better now. Ashraf's fever is under control except for his cough. And he is back to school today. Tomorrow he will not be going to school as they have an excursion and I do not want Ashraf to go. He might get too tired and will fall sick again. So, better be safe than sorry.

Today, Aaron is down with flu and fever. He wasn't that cranky but simply refused to be with my maid. I didn't do any baking today either. Hopefully after today, no one will fall sick again!!!!

Hubby called after iftar and asked about the kids. I was reading to the 2 babies at the same time, helping the 2 older boys do their assessments when he called. Somehow, I was just too tired that I snapped at him. Even before he ended the call, he said 'I love you' and I just said 'Ok, bye.'

After putting the kids to sleep, I felt so terrible. Smsed him to say how sorry I was for being rude to him. He didnt reply. Booo hooo hooo... think he sleep already... hmm...

DEAR, I AM SO SORRY!!! I YOU TOO!!!!
