Son...

Dear Son............. One day if you are reading this, just know that no matter what you did to me, you are still my son.  I can only wish you all the best in this world and after.

Seri Puteri Symphonic Winds

They came for some competition here, and took the opportunity to perform at the United Nations.  It was a pretty hot day for the 61 students not including the accompanying parents, most of them experiencing their first time ever fasting for 18 hours too.  They did gave a good performance despite the challenging weather.  Proud to see the determination of the youngsters.

Way to Go!!!!!!!! 

I Should Not Be Surprised

Dried anchovies among the most difficult to be found here, therefore, anytime anyone asked me what do I want from back home, it will always be dried anchovies. This is because this is one of my hubby’s favorite things.

The last bag of dried anchovies I got actually brought me to tears, literally. It was the worse that I have ever received, and to think that this was sent my one of my own, it breaks my heart, but Alhamdulillah.

The dried anchovies were so bad in quality, they were dark, very hard, and over salty. When you cooked them with lentil or used them as part of your veggie stir-fried, the dish will changed to a dark color. My thought was to feed them to the birds, but then I also need them, so what I did was to dry blend them and used them in very little amount each time, just to add taste but to be very careful that the amount does not change the color of the dish.

“I should not be surprised” and learn to expect the unexpected.

Pusingkan La.

Ya Allah, Kau pulangkan la

Ya Allah Kau pusingkan la

Ya Allah terlalu sombongnya dia

Ya Allah Kau sedarkan la

Ya Allah Kau getarkan la

Ya Allah pada mu jua aku memohon

Ya Allah, tiada dapat lagi aku menangung kesedihan ini

Ya Allah, sampainya hati dia, terlalu, terlalu

Ya Allah, di bulan yang mulai ini, Kau pusingkan la

Amin YRA

Resting Place

I took the opportunity to visit my friend's resting place on the first day of Ramadhan.  

 More than two years on.

 My BFF reciting the prayers

 Deep in thought, wondering how tall and deep this cherry tree will go

 Cleaning the resting place of her mom, with her only daughter

 A love remembered

Beautiful............... resting in peace

Dinner At Hajar

We had a get together before the departure of two good friends for good from here.
