Thankful

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.


Mr John said,

If we are not thankful for every little thing we have, we will easily get angry or frustated.

Be thankful when your boss smile at you.

Or when your child hug you this morning.

Or when you wife cooks for you.

Or when someone care about you.

And for everything.

Also,

We should be thankful, even when bad things happen to us.

Like when you fail your paper.

Or when somebody hurt you.

Or when you lost something you love so much.

Because whatever it is.

Being thankful will keep you strong.

*Today is Ummi's third day being a Petronas staff. And I just realized that working with Petronas means you will have to work with a lot of male staffs. But you are not allowed to cover your face for security purpose.

Computer, please cry with me.

Tabung

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful.

"Actuary, why do you work with Petronas? You better work with insurance company, there you will make a lot of money."
"Why do you come back? You should just work in the States. I heard actuaries make more than 5 digits salary there"
"You are very important"
"No matter what job we give you, since you are an actuary, we know you will be able to handle it."

*Sometimes other people appreciate us, value us, and are thankful for our existence but not our loved one.

...

Kids,

Sometimes life is not easy.

There are times when you try to protect others, but they hate you. Or you may meet people who lose respect for you, when you care so much about them.And sometimes you may hurt, but you can only keep it to yourselves. And there will be times when you cry so bad at the masjid, because you can't hold your tears anymore.

Life always has it's ups and downs.

But there's something that keeps me strong.

"Cukuplah Allah bagiku. Tidak ada Tuhan selain daripadaNya. Hanya kepadaNya aku bertawakkal."
-Surah At-Taubah, ayat 129

...

*Tabung Haji gave me a tabung when I opened up a new account. Ummi's crazy but I tried to make myself forget my problems by being excited having that tabung. You should try sometimes. Haha. .

My Du'a

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

O Allah! Please grant me the one

Who will be the garment for my soul

Who will satisfy half of my deen

And in doing so make me whole

Make him righteous and on your path

In all he'll do and say

And sprinkle water on me at Fajr

Reminding me to pray

May he earn from halal sources

And spend within his means

May he seek Allah's guidance always

To fulfill all his dreams

May he always refer to Qur'an

and the Sunnah as his moral guide

May he thank and appreciate Allah

For the woman at his side

May he be conscious of his anger

And often fast and pray

Be charitable and sensitive

In every possible way

May he honor and protect me

And guide me in this life

And please Allah! Make me worthy

to be his loving wife

And finally, O Allah!

Make him abundant in love and laughter

In taqwa and sincerity

In striving for the hereafter!

*I don't ask for this but thank you, it's so lovely =)

Nota kecantikan. Ecewah.

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Selain menjaga kecantikan dalaman dengan ibadat, akhlak dan sebagainya, kita juga kena jaga kecantikan luaran. Banyak tips kecantikan dan kesihatan yang diamalkan Rasulullah saw, insyaAllah lepas buat research Ummi tulis. For now, read this yahoo article about nutrients in foods. Very interesting.

Lean red meat
Too little iron can cause baldness, according to research conducted at the Cleveland Clinic. Treating iron deficiency may help regrow hair. "People who have problems with hair loss or hair growth tend to be iron deficient‚"Especially women," says dermatologist Paradi Mirmirani, who practices in Vallejo, Calif. Other iron-rich options include turkey, egg yolks, whole grains, dried fruit, and dried beans (soaked and cooked, of course).

Eggs
They're full of biotin, a B vitamin that promotes hair growth and overall scalp health. A deficiency can cause brittle hair. Other high-biotin foods include peanuts, almonds, wheat bran, salmon, low-fat cheese, and avocados.

Bananas,oats, raisins
These contain the mineral silica, which is thought to improve hair thickness, Jackson Blatner says. Emphasizing foods rich in silica helps make hair stronger and more durable.

Dark Green Veggies
Load up on spinach, broccoli, and Swiss chard. They're packed with vitamins A and C, which help produce sebum‚scalp oil that works as a natural hair conditioner.

Oyster
Opt for these to get plenty of zinc, a mineral that helps regulate the production of androgens. These are hormones that, in low levels, are associated with hair loss. People with low levels of androgens can also suffer from slow hair growth and dandruff. Adjusting your diet‚and emphasizing zinc-rich choices like oysters, along with crab, clams, liver, lean beef, and wheat germ‚will help stave off hair loss and keep your mane shiny and healthy.

Sweet potato
These are packed with beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, a nourishing agent for your hair and skin. Vitamin A protects against dull hair and dry skin, a leading cause of dandruff. Other smart choices to get glowing hair and skin include carrots, kale, butternut squash, asparagus, and pumpkin.

Beans
Legumes like kidney beans and lentils are great sources of iron-rich protein. Lentils, in particular, play a role in hair maintenance and support.

Fruits and veggies
They're full of vitamin C, which helps your body absorb iron. Getting too little C makes hair dry and weak. The best sources? Broccoli, leafy greens, green peppers, citrus fruit, and strawberries.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids
They support scalp health; a deficiency can lead to dry scalp and dull hair. Good sources include salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, flaxseeds, and walnuts.

Healthy oil
No one wants dry, lackluster hair. But if your diet is too low in fat, that's what could happen. Healthy oils like olive, peanut, safflower, and sunflower can restore the shine. About a teaspoon a day will do the trick.

Bahagia

Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pemurah, Lagi Maha Penyayang.

Manusia sering mencari kebahagiaan.
Namun,manusia sering keliru atau tidak tahu erti sebenar bahagia.
Ada yang menyangka, bahagia itu bila mereka miliki harta kekayaan.
Ada yang menyangka, mereka akan bahagia jika punya rumah yang mewah.
Ada yang menyangka, jawatan tinggi akan membahagiakan mereka.
Ada yang menyangka, mereka akan tersangat bahagia jika mereka miliki isteri yang cantik.

Apa kamu pasti,
Jika mereka yang punya segala keindahan dunia itu bahagia?

Orang-orang yang bahagia,
Adalah seperti si pencuci tandas masjid,
Yang ikhlas mencari redha Allah,
Yang membersihkan rumah Allah supaya semua orang selesa beribadat,
Mereka mungkin tak punya gaji mewah,
Tapi mereka punya Allah di hati,
Pemilik bahagia dunia dan akhirat.

Tentang adat

Dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Penyayang.

Ebtesam pernah bercerita pada Ummi tentang upacara perkahwinan di Arab Saudi.
Di sana, hanya orang yang membawa kad jemputan dibenarkan masuk.
Kebanyakan bride dari kelas atasan memakai gown putih di hari perkahwinan.
Kadang2, orang kelas atasan hanya menjemput rakan2 dari kelas atasan
Dan sebagainya, yang Ummi rasa hairan.

Begitu juga dengan masyarakat Melayu.
Ummi baru tahu yang walimah itu sunnahnya dilakukan pihak lelaki.
Ummi baru tahu yang kita tak boleh khususkan cincin
Ummi baru tahu jugak yang tak elok kita ucap kepada pengantin "Semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu" sebaliknya ucapkanlah "barakallahulakuma wa baraka alaikuma wa jama'a bainakuma fi khair"

Sebab sekarang sunnah dicemari adat.
Itu pasal lah jadi "Ummi baru tahu"

Dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Penyayang.
