Tick tock tick tock.

I can't believed it!

6 more days and it will be our 4th anniversary! Its like we have just gotten married only yesterday. I am running out of ideas what gift to give to dear Hubby. The fact that dear Hubby is a fussy person, is adding up to my headache. Let's see my list so far

• Perfume , checked, given previous years.
• Neck Tie & Cuff links , checked that one too.
• Leather wallet, checked.
• Shirt, also checked.
• Watch, checked

So what's left lah? Hmmm, according to this website, they recommended to give linen or silk (Alamak! Muslim men cant wear silk. Is linen the same? I wonder) or appliances (electrical kah? eh, mahal tu~big boys toys can be quite expensive) as an ideal anniversary gift for 4th anniversary. Heee tapi macam ndak romantic and personal jak tu.

Hmmmm Scrapbook, maybe? Awaiting for creative juices to flow :p

A diamond bracelet sounds good (on me of course!). Looks like I cant ask for a diamond bracelet, not until the 60th anniversary anyway (God's willing if we live that long, I will be 93 years old that time). Besides the economic are not looking so good nowadays.

Anyway, lots of things have changed these past 4 years. Some are an eye opener and some are path to self discovery. Nevertheless, I prayed that our marriage will remain, ~not smooth (all marriage has it ups and downs), a blessed and a happy one (here and therafter).

Amin

How?

Yes, how can this happened? I just don't understand this. Is the mom just plain dumb or what? I can just imagine the baby crying kelaparan.The baby is not even 1 month old. Apa bah nie?!!!!

Baby boy starves to death; drunk parents forgot to feed him By STEPHEN THEN

MIRI: A baby boy, less then a month old, starved to death Thursday after his parents allegedly forgot to feed him because they were too drunk. The baby died in the intensive care unit of Miri Hospital Thursday morning and a police report was lodged.

Police now want to question the parents, in their early 30s, from a longhouse in southern Sarawak who came to Miri to work and were now renting a house at a low-cost housing scheme along the Sarawak-Brunei highway some 12kms north of the city centre.

Concerned relatives had found the baby unconscious in the house and had rushed him to the hospital at about 3am on Wednesday.

Miri Deputy Police Chief Supt Ismail Paduka Idris confirmed Thursday that the baby had died in the morning. "We (police) are investigating claims that the parents had indulged in a prolonged drinking spree and had neglected the baby in the process."

"Initial probe showed that the baby might have been so severely neglected that he suffered fatal consequences. We want to find out whether this was due to carelessness or criminal neglect. "We will be taking statements from the parents and from neighbours and relatives to find out what actually happened," he said, adding that police have yet to detain the parents.

Asked if there were any signs of physical abuse on the baby, he said police are still investigating all aspects. The couple have another child, a three-year daughter.

I am so sad.

Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.

>Love and Your Sweetheart
Your sweetheart is like a big brother to you. He is kind and always takes good care of you. He is a dream boyfriend; gentle and compassionate, he is completely and utterly dedicated to the girl he loves. It's easy to please him because he appreciates everything you do for him. There's no need to worry about changing yourself in any way because he accepts you the way you are. When this type of man fall in love it's going to be deep and quite probably forever.

What Your Handbag Says About You

You tend to be relaxed throughout the day. You are naturally at peace. You are a high maintenance person. You feel lost outside of your normal environment. You are open and comfortable with who you are. You don't hide anything. You are a very creative person. Your life tends to be a whirlwind, but you always seem to pull it together. You are practical and down to earth. You tend to be a rather reserved and quiet person. You are a very unique and special person. There's no one else who is anything like you.

What Does Your Handbag Say About You?

Sensitive

Warning: This post contains sensitive issue on religion. Do not read on if you feel it will be offensive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I risked writing this here openly in the world wide web but what the heck! I know deep in my heart, even though they do not show it openly but my family will still love me regardless of what religion I have embraced or what path I have chosen. I have wronged them for not telling about my status in an honoured way. But Allah works in a mysterious way.


I read recently a friend's note in FB and I felt sorry and sad for her. She has found the 'light' but alas now lost her way. I wanted to comment on her notes but I guess that would only offend her and a lot of other people from our circle of friends and also my Christian family members. Sini pun sama, but at least sikit org yg baca my blog :P.

I don't want know to appear as an 'extremist' but what is wrong, is wrong.


For a lot of people, stuffs regarding religion are very sensitive especially for Sabahan and more so if its got to do with Islam (I know my parents are). Its strange but she seemed proud of what she had done. Its like she is proud that she had all that experiences and live to tell it to the whole wide world. But who am I to judge her ? I don't really blame her. I blame it on her desperate need of attention, mixing with the wrong kind of friends and most of all, blame it on her ex husbands who failed to guide her as they should.

I hope one day, she will see the 'light' again.

InsyAllah

Health, Personality, Society & Life

Someone sent me this and I kinda like it, thought of sharing it with you. If you starts to sweat over the small stuffs, think of these (especially the ones under Personality, Society and Life)

Health
Drink plenty of water.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
Make time to practice meditation and prayer.
Play more games.
Read more books than you did in 2008.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Sleep for 7 hours.
Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.

Personality
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don't over do. Keep your limits.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
Dream more while you are awake.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
No one is in charge of your happiness except yourself.
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society
Call your family often.
Each day give something good to others.
Forgive everyone for everything.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life
Do the right thing!
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
GOD heals everything.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
The best is yet to come.
When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Life is short, be grateful of whatever you have today.

Matahariku

Kinda feel like the lyric 'Matahariku' by Agnes Monica at the moment...

Tertutup sudah pintu, pintu hatiku

Yang pernah dibuka waktu hanya untukmu

Kini kau pergi dari hidupku

Ku harus relakanmu walau aku tak mau

Berjuta warna pelangi di dalam hati

Sejenak luluh bergeming menjauh pergi

Tak ada lagi cahaya suci

Semua nada beranjak aku terdiam sepi

Dengarlah matahariku, suara tangisanku

Ku bersedih karna panah cinta menusuk jantungku

Ucapkan matahariku puisi tentang hidupku

Tentangku yang tak mampu menaklukkan waktu
