Selamat hari ibu ♥

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, "Apabila seorang manusia mati maka pahala amalnya akan terputus kecuali tiga perkara, dari sedekah yang mengalir pahalanya, atau ilmu yang bermanfaat, atau anak-anak soleh yang mendoakan kepadanya".

 “Ya Tuhanku! Ampunilah aku, ibu bapaku dan kasihilah mereka keduanya, sebagaimana mereka berdua telah mendidik aku ketika waktu kecil.”

Amin.

I smell something fishy and chippy!

We've been talking about fish and chips for quite sometimes. So, when we found out the place.. there we go! The place is called Frendy's. It's a small diner but so cozy and the waitress was so sweet to us. Frendy’s is on the third floor. The second floor is occupied by the Bentley Hotel. The moment we reached there, we were so excited and kind of jakun. The foods were really good and the portions at Frendy’s are big. We were there for almost 4 hours. It was so nice and I had so much fun. It has been an amazing week for me. Can't wait for summer. But I guess for now, this is more than enough :)

FRENDY'S!

It's a camera not a jukebox. So weird.

May 1st

We had an outing with our Russian teacher and his friends to Kolomenskoye Park. It's so beautiful. Too bad it's not apple picking season. Booo! 

:P

Look at the position of Nadiah's legs. :P

With Sasha and his friends

We want apples! We want apples!

Why is the sky blue?

Just because they're too cute..

Sadness

"Just because her eyes don't tear doesn't mean her heart doesn't cry. And just because she comes off strong, doesn't mean there's nothing wrong."

Happy birthday, Melati!

I met you when we were in standard 2. You're the first person who talked to me and your first question was "dulu sekolah lama dapat nombor 1, eh?" =.= Competitive much?

And from there, we became best friends. Dirty socks and all ;)

15 years and counting. 

You are a good friend and an even better person. May Allah bless you with wonderful times ahead. Happy Birthday and thanks for the friendship we share. Good luck with your PhD, future economist :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MELATI NUNGSARI!

Gemilang

"1977 Sekolah swasta yang pertama di pedalaman yang diusahakan oleh seorang anak muda yang berwawasan. Matlamatnya mudah – untuk mengubah nasib anak-anak remaja yang gagal dalam pelajaran – tapi perjalanannya masih belum pasti.

Saifullah membuka Institut Gemilang supaya dia boleh memberi peluang kedua kepada pelajar-pelajarnya. Mereka yang gagal atau yang tidak dapat menduduki peperiksaan MCE dan HSC amat dialu-alukan di sekolahnya.

Dia tahu dia mampu untuk mengubah hidup pelajar-pelajarnya. Kalau bukan semua, sekurang-kurangnya sebahagian daripda mereka. Dia berjanji tidak akan berputus asa terhadap mereka asalkan mereka tidak berputus asa ke atas diri mereka sendiri.

Saifullah, Umar, Asma dan Ruhana adalah guru-guru yang pertama di sekolah itu di mana mereka akan bekerja sebaik mungkin untuk masa depan pelajar-pelajar mereka. Konflik, permusuhan, cinta dan benci akan hadir antara cikgu-cikgu ini.

Cerita ini kadangkala lucu, kadangkala menyentuh hati tetapi sentiasa memberi inspirasi."[TV3]

 Mesti tonton :)

NEW U by Kotex Tween* Pads

There's a new line from Kotex called U by Kotex Tween that's aimed at 8 to 12-year-olds. So pretty! :D

Shopping is the way to soothe the shopaholic's heart

Shopping makes me so happy. The last time we went shopping around February, I guess. Lama, kan? Post-birthday celebration. Hee! :D 

Sailormoon sesat dkt belakang! :P

While waiting for our bus. They changed the bus station. We're lost :( 

WILCHAGIRLS at IKEA! ;)

Blame Nadiah for the quality of this picture. Makcik tu tangan ketar.

O hai, cik kak :P

My new colour block pillow :)

So happy. :)

So grumpy >.<

Oh, did I tell you the main reason why we went shopping? IKEA's food.

So NOM-able :P

Once we're done with shopping, we took a cab and went back home. We reached home around 10.30pm. We were exhausted but so happy. It's definitely one of the good days spent with friends :)

TA-DAA! :D

Finally..

Present from Nadhirah. Jazakillah :D

My first time making this strawberry cheesecake. :)

Kuih bakar from Kak Nor. Sila jealous :P

Burp!

Thank You Allah

I was so far from you
Yet to me you were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes toward the signs
You put in my way
I walked everyday
Further and further away from you
Ooooo Allah, you brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take.

Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.

I never thought about
All the things you have given to me
I never thanked you once
I was too proud to see the truth
And prostrate to you

Until I took the first step
And that’s when you opened the doors for me
Now Allah, I realized what I was missing
By being far from you.

Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.

Allah, I wanna thank You
I wanna thank you for all the things that you’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
And did you give me hope

O Allah, I wanna thank you
I wanna thank You for all the things that you’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I wanna thank You for bringing me home

Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.

April 6

8+7+8 = ?

Thanks Chef Aainaa! :)

Chef Aainaa. Hehe :P

So, how old are you today? Regardless of your answer, birthdays are a special day for you to celebrate with your loved ones. So, I turned 23 last Wednesday. *gulp* This year marked the third time I celebrated my birthday in a foreign country. Not really a good feeling if you ask me but having people that care so much about you here makes it just as good as if you're back at home. 

On my birthday. Look at the weather. So gloomy :(

On the way to Bioethics class.

They did a surprise party for me while I was watching Korean drama. Thank God I wasn't stark naked or something because that'll be quite embarassing. It was funny seeing Nadiah going crazy putting her tudung besides her bed and without me asking, she just told me "I saja letak tudung sini, senang nak ambil" and Nurul started coming to the room every 2 secs and then asking me, "Eh, I nak dgr macam mana org Korea ckp. I tak pernah dgr". And then, Aainaa all of sudden started wearing her pants and told us she wanted to go to grocery store, Perekrestok. It was so weird. 

4 more episodes to go. Wee! :D

All of sudden, I heard people coming to the room and started singing birthday song. I wanted to cry at that time because it was so overwhelming, but THANK GOD I didn't cry. Then, we ate together while watching Khurafat. What a stupid decision. Nadiah, Nurul and I were practically covering our eyes the entire time. It was crazy. Thank God I cut my nails the day before because I just grabbed Hari's hand while I scream my head off. Poor thing. Nasib baik baju tak koyak =.= But I have to say, Dinesh was so funny. He kept on asking the logic of the story and the difference between 'hikmah' and 'balasan'. So so funny. And he was screaming as if the world's gonna end tomorrow. LOL! As for the movie, next time sila buka lampu ye? Korang buat movie masa earth hour ke? Gelap gelita. 

Sila buka lampu. Terima kasih :)

Scarylahhh..

Makan je. Bila nak jerit ni? :(

NYUM! :D

Spoons fest! :P

 Once the movie's done, we talked about ghost stories. Another stupid decision. :( We talked and laughed until almost 11pm and they had to go back. We were sad to see them leave because it's been a while since the last time we had people coming over to our house. To Hari, Dhan, Revathy, Vicky and Dinesh, please come again. It was fun having you guys over here. 

Fun fact:

Do you know that it has become a tradition to give presents during a person's birthday. Jealous much? Hehe :P

Family tercinta, terima kasih. Ka-Ching! ;)

From, yours truly. Vain gila tak? :P

From Viknesh. The most anticipated present EVER! Thankss :D

 

From Dhan and Revathy. I've been dying to get this kind of scarf. Thanks. Can't wait for spring :D

Chocolates from Rinisha and Sharon. Sedapnyaaaa :D

From Aainaa, Nurul and Oda. OMGOMGOMG I really have no idea that you'll buy this for me. Thanks sayangs. *peluk and jerit kuat kuat*

And last but not least, this is the best birthday present I've ever been given in my life

Family & Friendship.
