A trip to Botanic Garden

HB was on leave for 3 days from 12 March to 14 March. We took the kids to the Botanic Garden on 13th March. It was raining but we sure had a good time there. The kids love playing in the rain and me... because of the rain and exhaustion, I have been having cold and flu since Saturday. Yeah lah... mama so weak arrr...lolz.
Anyway, while we were there.... I took so many pictures of the beautiful flora and fauna.... check it out!!!

7th Feb - Picked up MIL to go for lunch at Changi. After lunch we went for a short stroll by the beach. It was crowded with ppl camping everywhere. I believe it was fun to do such activities with families but I could never do that. Cannot live without proper toilet...hahah.

We then drove back to my SIL place at Simei (MIL lives with her) and after Asar the kids went to the pool. At 6pm we went upstairs to shower and changed. After maghrib we drove to Siglap for dinner at Pizza Hut.

8th Feb - A day with my sister and mum.
We left home at 12noon and headed to Bugis Junction. Hb dropped me, Aaron, Ashraf and my maid there to meet my sister, her kids and my mum while hb, BIL and my two abangs went for Friday prayer at Masjid Sultan.

After prayer, we met at the Warung for lunch. As we wanted to go to a less crowded place for the kids to run around, we went to Suntec. HB bought Azirul a pair of sports shoes at Royal Sporting House too. We walked around the fountain and had a drink at Mac before going off to Lau Pa Sat to meet my Bro for dinner.

9th Feb - We took the kids to West Coast Park after breakfast at Pasir Panjang. The last time we were there was before we left for Penang. The boys had soooo much fun there that they were reluctant to leave.
We then drove to the Executive Golf Range at Mandai. HB practised golfing (after not playing for years now.... a little bit karat) while I took the kids to play up the hill. The boys got to roll down the hill and chased monkeys.
We met hb at the range and boys had their chanced to 'whack some balls'... HB asked if I would like to golf...huh??? Nehhh... Not my game arrrr... Aku ni da la hitam manis... kalau golf under the hot sun bleh jadi hitam pekat manis pulak...

We left at 3.30pm and headed home. After solat Asar, we picked MIL and went to T2 for dinner at Swensens.

And yes.... it were a hectic but fun holidays for us...

Antara isteri dan ibu bapa, mana satu yang perlu diutamakan ?

Perkahwinan pada dasarnya, tidak memisahkan hubungan anak-anak

dengan keluarga masing-masing. Bagi seorang isteri, suaminya adalah

lebih berhak ke atas dirinya jika dibandingkan dengan kedua ibu

bapanya sendiri. Manakala bagi seorang anak lelaki, ibu bapa tetap lebih berhak ke

atas dirinya jika dibandingkan dengan isterinya sendiri. Kewajipan

seorang anak lelaki dalam mentaati orang tuanya telah dijelaskan

dalam sirah Rasulullah yang menceritakan tentang seorang sahabat

yang bernama Al-Khomah Menangislah ibunya. Ibunya dengan penuh rasa

kasih sayang telah mengampunkan segala dosa Al-Khomah. Sejurus

selepas itu, barulah Al-Khomah dapat mengucap Syahadah dan

menghembuskan nafas yang terakhir. Dalam kisah ini, Rasulullah telah

berpesan, " Siapa yang mengutamakan isteri dari ibunya, maka ia akan

terkena laknat Allah dan tidak diterima ibadat fardhu atau

sunatnya." Ingatlah kembali bagaimana payahnya seorang ibu menahan

kesakitan dan kepenatan mengandungkan si anak apatah lagi selepas

melahirkannya, mata yang disengkang menahan rasa mengantuk

semata-mata melayan karenah si anak yang pelbagai. Kesabaran si ibu

menyediakan keperluan si anak dan si ibu menggadaikan nyawa

melahirkannya. Kesimpulan dari itu, tindakan yang saudara ambil

adalah tidak menepati syariat Islam. Keperluan ibu bapa hendaklah

dipenuhi terlebih dahulu sebelum saudara memenuhi tuntutan orang

lain.

Jika anda seorang isteri, pesankan pada suami anda supaya sentiasa mentaati

dan melebihkan ibubapanya daripada anda sendiri. Payah tapi inilah

hakikat hukum. Seorang isteri yang salehah akan selalu mengingatkan

suaminya tentang tanggungjawap suami terhadap ibubapanya sendiri.

Anda tidak harus marah jika suami anda lebih mengutamakan ibubapanya

terutama ibunya lebih daripada anda sendiri, kerana syurga suami anda

terletak pada ibunya, anda pada suami anda. Jika suami anda derhaka atau

melepaskan tanggungjawapnya terhadap ibubapanya sendiri, maka tiada lah

syurga bagi suami anda & tiadalah syurga bagi anda.
