Jejak Palestine

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

salam sejahtera

Dec 2017 adalah tahun yang sangat bermakna buat kami sekeluarga.  Kami sangat bersyukur kerana Allah perkenankan doakan kami untuk ziarah masjid ke-3 yg di syariatkan iaitu Masjid Al Aqsa. 2 tahun sebelum nya kami sudah cuba untuk ke sana, tapi belum diperkenankan.

Kita mengikuti pakage dari Kuala Lumpur Rey-Z, kami 10 orang dan yang lain dari Malaysia.  Teruja ada, berdebar pun ada kerana banyak yang di dengar berkenaan tempat yang di tuju.  Visa kami approved sementara pelawat Malaysia belum ada approval.

Ditakdir kan Allah, kami yg 10 sahaja yg melakukan kembara Palestine ini sementara yg lain menetap d Amman Jordan.  Nikmat yang tak dapat di dustakan. 

Penulisan

 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Apa ada dengan tulisan?

Setelah beberapa tahun tidak masok dalam blog ini, hati di gamit untuk meliat draft tulisan yang di tulis.

Hari ini Sabtu 16 April 2022 ( 14 Ramadhan 1442), titik tolak saya masok balik untuk blog ini.

Hari ini ada hari permulaan bagi saya mengikuti program Sekolah Penulisan Ramadhan 2022.  Saja nak menimba ilmu penulisan.  Tapi....komitmen tu yang buat saya.....

Hari ini baru tahu rupanya tip penulisan dari Dr Hj Ann, kita kena tulis (paksa diti) setiap hari apa apa saja walau setengah muka ada satu muka.  

Semuga Allah permudahkan dan memberi ilham bagi penulisan ini. Aamiin

2nd day.....

2nd July 2015 (15 Ramadhan 1436)

First day of my retirement, I sent my daughter to her attachment in JPMC.  We left around 0630 hours.  After I dropped Aqeel, thought my appointment was around 0830 hours, As the place is new to me I decided to go and look for it.  I reached there 30 minutes early.  The meeting was a promising one.

I left around 1000hours. I decided to go to Sharif Ali Mosque in Sengkurung as it is one of my favourite mosque.  After solat Dhuhaa, I continue reading the Quran (we have this daily Quranic group through whatsapp) and update it.

I left Sultan Sharif Ali Mosque 1100 hours.  I dropped by HSBC to bank in for Aqeel. After that I went to Hjh Mariam Jerudong Mosque for my zohor prayer.

Sitting in the two mosques gave me time to reflect as I was not rushing.  It showed me that the things that we rushed for unnecessary in our life time, if it is not directing us towards Allah, it is useless. As we cant reap the benefits in Jannah. All good deeds we did in this dun ya, we will reap it in Jannah.  May Allah grand us jannatul firdaus.  Aamiin.

Driving along the road to JPMC will let us pass the horses of Jerudong Polo Club.  They have their morning exercises around the field.  Horses have been one of my favorite animals.  And I used to come with kids for horse riding lessons.  Love it. When they reach secondary level, we stopped for a while.  Also it is my late dad favorite animal.

When in JPMC, I met a few of cancer patients in my life.  Some left us and some still alive.  Through their determination and support from families and friends, they are able to get through it. Remind me to always be thankful for what I have.

Picked up Aqeel and return home.

Land of the Tulips

Assalam

09.06.2013

It was 15 years ago we were in Holland.  A long long time ago. That was when 3 of my kids were less than 4 years old.

This time, we came (my husband and I) to the Land of the Tulips for my husband's workshop.  It was in The Hague.  It is a tourist attraction place.  The hotel was a few walk away from the beach and the pier.  Though it was sunny to me it was cold due to the sea breeze - very windy.  I don't like to stay out after 5pm.  Brrrrr...cold!!

Our room was not ready, so we had our lunch at the kebab place next to the hotel and managed to get wifi....hee..heee..  That was the first thing I asked because I needed to communite with my kids.  So we just ate and watched people walking by.

It has been awhile since we went out together overseas.  It was good to have this moment.

There was a shopping area nearby and we went on the tram to the city. He was showing me around just in case I needed to go out by myself when he was having his workshop.  It was easy to get around using the tram.  But I was looking forward to the country is famous for - TULIPS!!

I managed to go to the miniature garden and the flowers are in bloom! Always amazed by God's beautiful creations.  Many visitors were there.


I went home after having bought some souvenirs' for family at home.

Kami mohon KAU permudahkan segala urusan kami,

Tetapkan iman kami,

Asia to Africa - Part III

~ Part 3 - PHC, Nigeria - 1996 to 1999 ~

The saturday was the first time we went around town.  The same nite I think we were to attend a welcoming dinner by my husband's manager.  We met a few others during the dinner from europe, asia but mostly europe.

When the manager heard that we went to town and have a look around the place, he was shocked.  While my husband went to report for work, I was visited by the expat representative and briefed me on what were the activities there at the camp, school for the kids etc.  I think I reported to work one week later.

When we arrived, we had a nanny ready waiting for us arranged by our ex-nigerian colleague ahead of our arrival.  I remember her name: Rosalind.  So I had one thing less to worry.  Only my eldest daughter Amira and second daughter Aqeel going to school in the kindergarten.  While Khairee will be at home with me for the time being and get to know Rosalind.

We were given a guest house until they allocated us a new permanent at the residential area.  All fully furnished.  But to move to our new house, we had to choose what we want e.g beds for the kids, settee, table etc for the living room, dining table and chairs etc.  There were all not ready made but have to order.  We had to work with the HR to get what we want.  They were very helpful. We were happy settling in for now....

To be continued.....



1st july 2015 (14 Ramadhan 1436)

Bismillahirahmanirrahim

After about 34 years of service, today is the day I said goodbye to working life.

The last three days was very hectic.  As my successor is not on seat, it was decided 2 months before I leave to handover to 5-6 different person.

Unoffically I have handed over to them prior the formal email from my supervisor. But the last three days one after another came to ask various things before I leave.  Normally the last day was used to say good bye to friends and colleagues, but these three days I worked late. It was also Ramadhan and people left around 1.30pm.  This is the specialty in our country that during Ramadhan, the working hours was shorten from 8 to 6hours.

I managed to say goodbye whom are still at the office.

I don't feel sad leaving.  In fact I felt relief as if a whole load of burden have been taken off my shoulders.  Looking back, I never thought I could reach this far.  There were ups and downs in life, I felt blessed having known many who came to my life be it local or expats and having gain knowledge as well as sharing the knowledge I have with them.

I thank Allah for the countless blessings that was given to me through out my life.
May Allah grand taufiq & hidayah to enable me to use what time is left, for my devotion to Allah.  May Allah grand good health so that my worship towards Allah is undettered.
We seek your forgiveness, ya Allah.

The starts of new chapters towards kehidupan Hakiki.
