Queen of my heart

The title of this post explains it all. Kali ni, I nk post a dedication to my mom. She is the queen of my heart, the most kind-hearted & loving person I know. I believe, like me, u love ur moms too, right? And there is no doubt that everyone's mom have great contributions. We speak highly of our moms & tell the world she's the greatest mom on the planet earth. Seems like everyone's moms are the greatest than the others. Well, that's true. She deserves to be praise as the greatest of all.

So it is truly acceptable and understandable when I speak highly of my mom. To me, she is the greatest mom & the most wonderful person in this planet earth.

My mom was born in Kluang, Johore. She is the forth child in the family, and she have 2 elder brothers & an elder sister before her. She was raised up in Pahang, as my grandfather, who was a staff nurse, had to be transferred to a hospital in Pahang for work purpose. After she finished high school, she went off to KL to find a job here. Soon after that she met with my father and they got married & about a month later my mom was pregnant with my first brother.

Life was very tough for her at that time as she was not working & did not earn her own pocket money. Life with my father was more difficult as both of them were struggling financially. My mom never complaint, not even once. she carried on with her life with hopes to survive. My brother was born on 1981 but her life continues to stay in the hardship lane.

My brother once told me that mom had to go to the shops in neighbourhood & asked their kindness to let her take some groceries and to be paid later. She didnt bother feeling ashame whatsoever, in her mind she only knew that she had to feed her children.

In 1984 she then again gave birth to my second brother and finally i was been brought into this world on 1987, and together with mom, I was brought to live with my grandma in Mersing, Johore. Financial was still the barrier, and the only way out was to depend on my grandma.

Not long after that, me and my mom went back to live in KL and that was when my mom started to work. Life was then quite good, and we felt hopeful. Mom would always came back home bringing something special to eat. I still remember it had always been 'KFC', Kentucky Fried Chicken and as we hardly eat that before, it felt really special & we were very happy. I saw my mom as our life saviour, as our angel and we depended on her.

I still remember, I had always wanted something from her but she could never provides. I wanted some cheese, which was quite costly at that time. But i never got. I wanted books but i never got. She would scold me if i cried in the mall, just to beg her for buying me things. Little did i know that although she was working at that time, that barely covers everything. That she was still struggling with 3 kids, bills and everything.

When I grew up, little by little I learnt how big the sacrifices that my mom put into her life to raise us kids. She never leave us behind out of her life's hardships. She stays and raised us up all the way.

Sadly when I reached the age of 6 years old, my mom decided to file a divorce to my father and

they were officially separated ever since then. My mom told me, that was the only way out as both of them couldn't find a better solution to their endless conflicts.

I was forced to stay with my father til I was about 16 years old. My mom remarried and had a child & I dont really get along with my stepfather. But I knew my mom loves me and we visit each other every now and then. She never forgets me and she have always been there for me through my upbringing.

She was there when I waited anxiously for my UPSR result, she was there when I first had my period, she was there when I fell in & out of love, she was there when I took my SPM result, she was there when I went up the stage for a best student award, she was there when I got my first job, she was there when I switched my career field from sales to admin just to be like her, and she was there, when the man of my dream recited his devotion & became my official husband, she was there, and had been besides me all the way, through all the phases in my life. today, she is still here, she is always ready to be by my side through my ups and downs. We cried a lot together, we laughed, we shed tears, we enjoyed all big moments in life together. Up until now i could never hold back my tears every time she cross my mind.

My mom never had the chance to further her study to a higher level. She only had an LCE cert, which was similar to our now SPM cert. but that did not stop her from being a successful woman. she never pulled back herself. All my life, she had always been working. Now at the age of 53, she is still working, making laksa johor, a Johor traditional cuisine, and sells to the public. Just to help my little sister and just for her family to survive.

She is never depending on a man, she knew better than to do that. She has taught me to become just like her. But unlike her, I got easily emotional & always cry when I have problems. And i cant never live without my husband. I wish one day I can be just as strong as her.

I love u mom... Thanks for all ur sacrifices and all the efforts that u put in just to raise us, words cant describe enough about u, and all the things that u had contributed. Even my blog couldn't do u justice. I wish i will be more like u, and I am striving to be like u. U always cook, like all the time, for ur husband, and i will always do that too. U always clean the house, n u r a very tidy person. I want to be just like u mom, and i dont want to give up. Thanks for giving me life inspirations, thanks for making me a good girl, thanks for all the things that u had taught me.

In no matter what situations, dont ever forget ur mom. They are the ones who gave u the chance to see this world. They carried u in their wombs everywhere they went for 9 months. the sickness they suffered, they still bear it just to see their baby. Yes i fought with my mom too sometimes, and yes, at times i felt like she was like a monster. But deep down inside I realise I cant survive without her.

Cherish ur mom and love her, show ur affections while shes breathing. Cos when she goes back to her creator, there is no second chance for u to kiss her and to love her as much as u want.

Let's read what Maher Zain gotta say about moms in his lyrics of 'Number One for Me', one of my favourite:-

i was a foolish little child
crazy things I used to do
and all the pain I put you through
mama now i'm here for you

for all the times i made you cry
the days i told you lies
now it's time for you to rise
for all the things you sacrificed

oh, if i could turn back time rewind
if i could make it undone
i swear that i would
i would make it up to you

mum i'm all grown up now
it's a brand new day
i'd like to put a smile on your face every day
mum i'm all grown up now
and it's not too late
i'd like to put a smile on your face every day

and now i finally understand
your famous line
about the day i'd face in time
'cause now i've got a child of mine

and even though i was so bad
i've learned so much from you
now i'm trying to do it too
love my kid the way you do

oh, if i could turn back time rewind
if i could make it undone
i swear that i would
i would make it up to you

oh, if i could turn back time rewind
if i could make it undone
i swear that i would
i would make it up to you

you know you are the number one for me
you know you are the number one for me
you know you are the number one for me
oh, oh, number one for me

there's no one in this world that can take your place
oh, i'm sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
i will use every chance i get
to make you smile, whenever i'm around you
now i will try to love you like you love me
only god knows how much you mean to me

oh, if i could turn back time rewind
if i could make it undone
i swear that i would
i would make it up to you

mum i'm all grown up now
it's a brand new day
i'd like to put a smile on your face every day
mum i'm all grown up now
and it's not too late
i'd like to put a smile on your face every day

mum i'm all grown up now
it's a brand new day
i'd like to put a smile on your face every day
mum i'm all grown up now
and it's not too late
i'd like to put a smile on your face every day

the number one for me
the number one for me
the number one for me
oh, oh, number one for me

Asam Pedas Ikan Siakap ~ Melaka Style

Before marriage, I never cook in my entire life!! Seriously..I had no idea how to cook & how it was supposed to be done. I cuma tahu rasa makanan je, & that's my only expertise. I still remember mom would asked me to taste her cook first before she turned off the stove & serve on the table. I would know if it was lack of salt or seasoning, or if it taste wrong. I would know what to tell her to make it taste better. And yeah, she depended on me.

But I never succeeded in my attempts to cook. I gave up & didn't bother to give it one more shot after encountering with too many failures. Every time I cook, it would either burned or taste wrong, no matter how hard I tried. Although the recipe was presented right before my eyes, I still failed to make it taste right. Mom and lil sis would have to force themselves to eat & finish my cook. I knew it taste bad but being a mom, she still praised my cook.

After marriage, again I had to pay a visit to the kitchen. Takkan lah I nk biarkan my hubby makan bungkus hari2! Husband kahwin dgn kita utk kita sediakan semua keperluan dia. No matter how tired u r after work or apa2 je alasan, u need to cook for ur husband. Itu dh menjadi tanggungjawab kita..(FYI sejak I mengandung ni I dh jarang masak, takleh bau ikan @ ayam, hanyir2 dan sewaktu dengannya... Kikikiki)

At first I was very scared, will I succeed this time? but being a supportive husband, he helped me to cook for the 1st few weeks, and he asked me to watch and observe. I tried to absorb every single thing that he did, and Alhamdulillah I managed to adapt his way of cooking and nasib baik this time my cooking kebanyakkannya menjadi. Selain tu, setiap kali nk masak kita kena mulakan dengan Bismillah & puji-pujian pada Allah. Especially bila part u nak masukkan garam, gula or makanan dalam periuk tu, baca bismillah banyak2.. "Cook with love", my mom always told me while she was cooking.

So skrg ni I nk share recipe yg my husband ajar pada I, ikan siakap masak asam pedas melaka style.....

Uols mesti kena sediakan~

(Hidangan utk 2 org)

1 ekor ikan siakap (gunting semua sayap, sirip, sesungut dan seangkatan dengannya..cuci keluar semua sisik2 kecil, buang isi perut & bersihkan & buang insang) -pakai gunting lg mudah..

3 biji bawang merah

2 biji bawang putih

Sedikit halia

10 sudu besar cili kisar@cili giling/1 mangkuk penuh (kalau nk pekat tambah lg biar meletops.. Lg 1 kalau nk betul2 melaka style, hubby cakap blender the original cili kering)

Sedikit belacan

2 batang serai - dititik

daun kesum (suami sy ajar masuk dgn batang skali)

2 batang Bunga kantan, dibelah dua

1 mangkuk Bendi atau lebih

3 biji tomato dibelah 4

air asam jawa 1 mangkuk(nk tambah masam tambah lg 1 cawan)

garam + gula

Minyak utk menumis

So now, it's how to do it the right way :

~Blender atau tumbuk bawang dan halia. Gaul bersama cili giling. Nak lg sebati masa blender bawang & halia tu masuk je skali ngn cili2 skali. Ni kes org malas laaa hehe...

~Masukkan semua hasil blender/tumbukkan tadi ke dlm kuali yg berisi minyak panas. Dengan api yg kecil@sederhana,goreng bahan ini sehingga cili kelihatan garing/pecah minyak...

~Bila cili dah garing masukkan gula, try 1 sudu besar dulu, nanti tak cukup tambah la lg.. Ingat! Ni bukan sambal tumis, so jangan manis2 sgt.. Masukkan garam... (Suami sy tak benarkan ajinamoto menginap dirumah kami (botak katanya), hehe.. Tapi kalau uol nk, masuk la sikit)

~Masukkan daun kesum dgn batang2 nya skali(petua suami) & bunga kantan.. Gaul lah kuah ini & masukkan ikan, serta air asam jawa....

~Lastly, masukkan bendi dan tomato.. Sebelum tu, make sure bendi dah di belah dua tanpa putus. Gaul kuah & biar sehingga mendidih, then boleh lah tutup dapur gas & hidangkan bersama nasi... Kalau nak lagi UMPH, potong sikit timun segar. Pehhh...

Ok jom intai gambar bahan2 yg I mentioned kat atas tu, mana yg taktau senang la nak cam nanti ^_^

Ni lah dia Ikan Siakap.. Mmg mahal sikit tapi ada yg murah. I beli dlm RM14 je dkt carefour... Dia tulis Black Siakap... Sesekali nk merasa bolehlah.. Kalau xde duit beli Pari@Tenggiri je lah k :-)

Yang ni pula bawang putih dan bawang merah..kalau xtahu takpe,skrg dah tahu hehe^_^

Ni serai, amek 2 batang je pastu titik kan sikit mcm kt gambar ni

Ini pula bunga kantan, mcm I ajar tadi, belah kan bunga ni 2 bahagian

Sayur bendi dibelah dua tanpa putus

Tomato dipotong empat bahagian

Cili giling

Ni lah hasil nya ^_^

Selamat mencuba!!

A bun in the oven

Alhamdulillah, after tying the knot with my husband 3 months ago, I am now having a bun in the oven! ~Yes! I am 8 weeks pregnant !! Isn't that fast? But FYI, me & my husband planned for it & was expecting it .. Syukur Alhamdulillah kerana Allah berikan peluang ini kpd kami ^_^

Yeah, yeah.. I know it's too early to share the news with public. I tahu ramai org berpendapat, jangan bagitahu org kalau kita pregnant selagi belum 3 months & above. I truly understand the concept & the truth behind it, I dont deny that. Not only malays having this typical adat, chinese pun akan bagitahu org about their pregnancy after 5 months. 

Tapi mmg x salah utk kita share. Kalau ditakdirkan perkara itu x menjadi, itu semua adalah kuasa & kehendak tuhan. Who are we to blame His will. Ini x, kalau sesuatu yg buruk berlaku pada kita, org sekeliling akan cakap "Tu lah, kecoh2 lagi bagitahu semua org, kan dah padah..." As if manusia yg menentukan malapetaka seseorang. As if bagitahu org ttg news ni akan menjadi suatu tanda yg dipanggil 'bad omen' kpd diri kita. There is no such thing. We share good things and bad things with our loved ones. Itu semua lah yang akan menjadi kenangan pahit-manis dlm kehidupan kita. Kalau takdir menentukan nasib kita x seperti expected, apa nak buat, redha & berusaha lg.

The reason why I share this news is just simply to commemorate the meaningful moment in my life & to share the precious experiences that I am having right now. And of course by sharing I hope lovely people out there especially my family & friends would be praying for my health & the condition of my baby. Sebagai ibu yg hamil, I just want to be happy & I dont want to think much, just take care of myself and keep praying to Allah that my baby is developing well.

So anyway, I had my last period on the 10th of Nov last year. As I told u, I was expecting this pregnancy & so, I waited & kept on waiting for my next period. I was very lucky, as soon as I reached 5 days of missed period, I went for a home pregnancy test & discovered that I am pregnant. It's simple, if u missed ur period for more than 5 days, there should be something wrong with ur body, it's either u r pregnant, or u r just experiencing a hormonal changes in ur body after losing ur virgnity. As for my case, luckily it was due to pregnancy. That was why I waited for 5 days to finally did the pregnancy test, as it is more likely that u r pregnant if u missed ur period more than 5 days.

Other than a missed period, I had also experienced a breast tenderness. It is very similar to the pain of pre-menstrual syndrome. Other than that, I felt exhausted & difficult to breathe. I was breathless most of the time & got tired easily.

By the way, I bought the UTP (Urine Test Pregnancy) Kit from Watson pharmacy in Ampang Point, which cost me RM9. I was been told to perform the test early in the morning to get an accurate result. However, I didnt bother to wait as I could not hold the suspense. I did the test in the evening around 6pm.

This is the brand recommended by most certified doctors

The result was of cos, positive. I went to the clinic to confirm this a week later & Alhamdulillah I am really pregnant.

My husband was really happy & dia bernazar membotakkan rambut dia... hehehe...

Morning sickness? I never had that before, but these past few days I am starting to get a migraine, a really bad headache till I feel that my eyes are hurting. But the only solution to this is just to get enough rest and sleep as I will feel better after that. But it will strikes on a regular basis :-( It's so troublesome, affecting my performance at work :-(

Selalu sgt pening & sakit kepala!! Sabar je laaa.. . So far muntah & mual belum lg & I hope I'll never have to experience that. Susah kalau byk ragam, kita ni nk bekerja utk membantu ekonomi keluarga.

What vitamins & supplements I'm taking? Following the doctor's advice at Klinik Kesihatan Ibu & Anak (Masa buat buku pink hari tu), I just consume folic acid 5mg 1 pill per day. I bought Obimin pills from pharmacy last month but due to some complications that I am having right now, my doctor told me to stop taking Obimin for a while, and wait til I am 3 months pregnant.

Only cost me RM10 and it contains 100 pills. U can get it from any pharmacy.

What complications yg I maksudkan? I am experiencing some spotting on a daily basis. I am producing a red, pink and brown discharges daily & that hardly appears to be normal. In some cases yes, there are moms out there who are experiencing such spotting or bleeding, even throughout the whole first trimester. My mom had the same issues while she was pregnant with my eldest brother. She suffered the same migraine like I do & also some bleeding & spotting. However, Alhamdulillah abang sulung saya sihat & berjaya dilahirkan sempurna sifat. Mom said those might be the 'pembawaan' & according to her moms are experiencing different 'pembawaan' depending on the bodies & keturunan. In shaa Allah hopefully that is really the case I am having right now, not some other complications.

By the way, Obimin vitamins r very good for ur health semasa u hamil. It contains a complete vitamins that are needed by ur body & kandungan. Next month when I reach 3 months of my pregnancy, I will continue to take this Obimin pills. Anyway I bought this from Watson Pharmacy in Ampang Point& it cost me around RM25, the cheapest brand available as it doesnt include Omega 3 oil & DHA. Dont worry, this is good enough.

This is the one that I'm having in my keep.

During my visit at Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak (KKIA), the doctor adviced me to drink Anmum, a dairy product to support my nutrition needs as a pregnant lady. My mother-in-law bought Anmum Materna for me from Kedai 'SpeedMart 99' which cost RM33. Kalau beli kat farmasi or hypermarket, it will cost RM36, mahal sikit. The taste is quite ok, I can't take it when it's hot or warm. I terpaksa simpan dlm peti ais & bila dh sejuk baru I minum. My doctor said just as long as u minum, that's good enough dan kalau x boleh telan sangat2, masukkan dalam acuan tepung & buat lah lempeng.. hehe... That was the doctor's advise.

Pantang larang dalam kehamilan? I dont know that much about this part but I avoid pineapples, junk food & carbonated drink (Air gas). I heard people says if minum 100 plus dibolehkan for moms but I still dont take it anyway. Better dont risk urself. Although I got little information & lack of knowledge on this, I always refer back to google before I make any decision on my food intake. I bring my BB phone everywhere I go & make sure to google about the food I'm about to eat before consumption. Pregnancy has teach me to become more alert on my diet.

Do I experience any constipation? On and off, yes, I do face it. The only solution that work out for me is eating a lot of veggies, the green ones & reduce the intake of meat. Trust me, it will work out. Other than that, Anmum also is helping me a lot on this issue. I believe it is provided with probiotics for a good digestion.

I dont have any cravings yet while in my pregnancy state. Other than asking my husband to help me in cooking, I guess I belum lg mengidam apa2. The reason y I malas masak nowadays, I susah nk bau ayam & ikan.

Hari tu ada rasa nak makan steamboat, tapi bila dia tak layan, I macam ok whatever~ terus hilang rasa tu, sbb I mmg x kisah, tapi nk dikatakan rezeki I, tiba2 my father-in-law bawak makan kt Johnny's last week hehee....

My mom said I look haggard and that could possibly mean I got a boy. Haha.. I dont mind that at all, boy or girl, as long as my baby develops well and berjaya dilahirkan dengan sempurna, that is more than what I am asking for. In shaa Allah...

Jom tinjau camne keadaan baby in 8 months pregnancy:-

Tahniah - embrio anda sekarang bergelar fetus, yang bermakna 'zuriat'. Uterus anda meregang untuk memuatkan penghuni baru ini, yang sekarang berukuran sekitar 0.6 inci / 1.6 sentimeter. Banyak perubahan berlaku pada minggu ini - ekor embrio telah hilang, dan semua organ, otot dan saraf mula berfungsi. Sekarang tangan boleh dibengkokkan di pergelangannya, dan jari kaki yang berselaput dahulu beransur hilang. Kelopak mata mula menutupkan mata.

Kehamilan anda mula menukar bentuk badan anda juga. Payudara anda mungkin membesar sehingga anda memerlukan bra yang boleh menyangga dengan lebih kuat daripada bra lama. Anda akan menyedari yang ukuran pinggang anda mula bertambah, sehingga anda terpaksa menyimpan jean kegemaran anda sehingga tahun depan. Jika anda banyak meminum air mengandungi flourida - lapan gelas atau lebih sehari - anda sudah tentu mendapat cukup flourida dan ini akan mengintegrasikan kalsium dan fosforus dengan kukuh ke dalam gigi dan tulang bayi anda yang sedang berkembang itu.

• Nota: Pakar-pakar menyatakan bahawa setiap bayi berkembang secara berlainan - walaupun semasa dalam kandungan. Muka surat-muka surat di bahagian ini disediakan untuk memberi maklumat umum mengenai perkembangan fetus dalam rahim.

Bercerita tentang pregnancy, I nk sentuh part nak register buku pink dkt Klinik Kesihatan Ibu Dan Anak. It is a must for u to do this even though u dont plan utk melahirkan di hospital kerajaan.

I pergi register semasa I masih 6 minggu. The doctor said we need to register as soon as we discover that we are pregnant. So I pergi at 7 in the morning & balik 11.30 am. Sgt lama... They will make a blood test, urine test, and siap ada ceramah 30 minit utk semua ibu2.

Some people I know had adviced me to bring marriage certificate la, gambar la, mcm2. I prepared everything but ended up they didnt require any of that. Just dtg bawak IC je lah...

So my next appointment will be this coming 21st January. Hope semuanya berjalan lancar. They will obtain my ultrasound scan on that date & check diabetes sbb my mom had it once. Dieorang ckp kalau ada keturunan mmg kena check...

Tu je lah from the time being. Wait for my next entry k!

Penghijrahan

Assalamualaikum my beloved muslim sisters.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Ceh.. Kali ni I wanna share my story about hijab & my experience dalam berhijrah ni.

I started to wear hijab since Ramadhan last year, 2012. Bulan yg mulia ni had opened up my eyes and heart to make the change & dgn tekadnya I pun bertudung, Alhamdulillah sampai ke hari ni.. 

Dulu I ni mmg seorang yg free-hair. Bila tgok org bertudung, I boleh lagi cakap dalam hati I, "ala dieorang tu bukan baik sgt".. & I am very sure most of u people out there pon pernah terlintas fikiran mcm ni.

MasyaAllah. Sejahat2 dieorang, salah 1 tuntutan sbgai muslim  tu dieorang dh tunaikan even though it may not be that perfect. Mcm kita ni, dh la jahil, lg nk cakap org. Astaghfirullah byk2. 

I never even once imagine yg I nk bertudung. But day by day of growing up, I felt so empty & mcm2 masalah. it's like I felt incomplete & something was not right. I kept asking to myself, do I want to be named a muslim padahal cara hidup tak mcm seorang muslim? Sanggup ke nk dgr org tuduh I ni islam hanya pada nama. Dah la nama I pun x berapa nk muslim sgt.. :-( 

Bila I fikir balik why all these years I selalu struggle, selalu byk drama, conflicts, & tak pernah dimakbulkan doa I.. I berbalik kepada Islam. That is our way out. It have always been. Mcm mana Allah nk bantu & sayang kalau we never show our love to Him. 1 bentuk devotion pun kite tak tunjuk. Lepas tu we blame Him kalau semua hajat x sampai atau nasib kita selalu malang.

I nk share mcm mana rasanya bile u switch ur gears and transport urself into Islam.

As I mentioned, during Ramadhan 2012, on the 1st day itself, I terus pakai tudung. I rasa at that time was the best time to start, kalau bulan mulia yg takde gangguan tu pun I takleh buat, bila lg? So I buat. Beratnya hati ni. Tapi mind control everything & remind myself semua nawaitu I.

Mmg lain babe... It was so special. Hanya bila u cuba, u will feel it & understand what I mean. I rasa perubahan diri I ni menjadi 1 hikmah yg Allah berikan.  Sebelum ni rasa diri x selamat & lepas bertudung rasa tenang tanpa gangguan. 

Pada girls muslim out there yg masih belum bertudung. Cuba lah pakai. Kalau rasa mcm x sampai seru lah, belum bersedia lah, paksa diri utk google balasan di akhirat kepada wanita muslim yg mendedahkan aurat. Sure takut gila. 

Like me, that was what I did to force myself. last time I susah & liat gila nk pakai. Bila org cakap tunggu seru or tunggu hidayah sampai, that is not really true. In order for u to achieve something, u need to force urself to want it. I paksa diri I dgn cara baca tafsir Al-Quran & google pasal Islam. Bukak mata luas2 bukak otak luas2, fikir semua yg Allah dh cakap dalam Al Quran tu. Kalau uol nk tau, if uol x pakai tudung, esok yg kena bakar is ur husband, ur dad, ur brothers. Sanggup ke buat mcm tu pd mereka...

There is actually no such thing as x bersedia. What if esok u mati? X sempat langsung utk u bertaubat & merasa utk berhijab. 

Girls, pakai lah tudung tutup lah aurat kamu ya? Trust me, u will be more thankful, more humble, and kalau niat u betul, u will feel different in a good way. 

Of cos, halangan pun banyak. Like me, sometimes rasa rimas, panas, x glamour.. Tapi ingat la that feeling hanya syaitan & iblis yg sedang cuba utk menjatuhkan semangat kamu.. Bukankah mereka dah berjanji utk berusaha menyesatkan umat Adam sampai ke hari kiamat nanti. Bear that in mind, U will always try ur hard to push away the evil voices. In shaa Allah...

I am not perfect, far from being a religious person. But I am trying my best to just at least be a good person & at least having some part of myself devoted to Islam. In shaa Allah lama kelamaan seluruh diri dihambakan ke jalan Allah. Try is better than to ignore & to deny.

Jom baca a good words kat bawah ni:-

A Girl’s Heart Desire

Sometimes,
I want to open my hijab,
and show the world,
... that I too,
am beautiful in the people’s definition.

But,
deep down here,
in my little heart,
I know that beauty is by definition,
a mystery.
and it is forever more rewarding,
to be beautiful in God’s eyes.

Sometimes,
I want to wear ruffled dresses and tight jeans,
show off what I really look like,
under those baggy shirts and loosely fitted pants,
make a statement,
that I too,
have a figure and worth looking at.

But,
I know better,
to avoid entering the world of men’s imagination,
for I love my future husband,
and I am ashamed,
what should be his, has already been unveiled by others.

Sometimes,
I want to show the world,
the other side of me,
the bubblier, bolder, and crazier me.
put myself on display,
for everyone to see,
to be desired, and admired upon.

But,
I know that eyes are not just eyes,
seeing is not just seeing,
image and respect are gained,
shame and humility deserve a better place.

Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling

I don't know about u guys out there, but I love reading storybooks.. I am passionate about books. U can just leave me at a bookstore, I could stay there for hours, even for days.

I started reading ever since I was about 7. When I was a child, my dad used to buy me storybooks. He's the one responsible for introducing this hobby to me. I still remember my dad used to highlight difficult words in the storybooks & asked me to find the meanings in a dictionary. He really wanted me to learn better english & to love reading.. Thanks Dad ^_^

Now when I am working & earning my own money, I buy my own books.. After I met my husband, he's the one buying books for me cos' he knows I love them so much. 

Anyway, early last year 2012, my husband introduced me to Harry Potter Series. He insisted to buy me a gift-set version of Harry Potter series, which we bought from Kinokuniya KLCC.

I bet all book lovers out there knows how it feels like to touch a brand new book in ur hands.. Ahhh... The joy of it. Like always, I got excited & and I kept on touching the books in and out. The smell of new books, ahh, beyond awesome!

As soon as I set foot in my room later that night, I started with the 1st series. Anyway, there r 7 episodes altogether. I fell in love with the series instantly when I read the 1st Volume which was titled 'Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone'.. It was a page turner, I couldn't help myself but to turn page by page with excitement and I couldn't stop. I still remember I hardly sleep & eat just to finish the book, till my mom got mad. But my mom got used to it. 

Then I went for book No 2, No 3, No 4, and finally stuck at book 7 til now.. My time is very limited after I got married. There's a lot of responsibilities that I need to handle & I got no spare time to read. However, I got a friend who's also obsessed about HP, she advised me not to read the final episode too fast cos after this there is no more HP, & she asked me to enjoy every second of reading it. & Make it slow, dont make it ends.

So anyway, in my next entry later I will write a review on each books.. 

Well, basically HP is about 3 best friends in the magical world who try to defeat the evil power named Lord Voldermort.

HP was a story about a boy named Harry Potter whose parents were dead when he was still a baby. He then had to live with his aunt and uncle & their son, who hated him so much. They were the only living relatives that he has. And that was why he had no choice but to live with them... He never know about his true identity, where did he came from, etc, and he thought he was an ordinary boy.

His life started to change when he turned 11., he received a lot of letters which he never had a chance to read, due to his uncle who tried so hard to hide & kept him from reading the letters. The messenger, the one who sent the letters was very mad as he couldn't reach harry. So, the messenger (known as Hagrid) came to see Harry himself, and told Harry everything about his life and his background. Harry then discovered that he was a wizard, someone who has a special power which we called magic. So the messenger brought Harry to enroll in magic school and he there learn all the things lay in the magical world. 

So he made friends, enemies, and dkt skolah tu ramai jugak cikgu yg suka & tak suka dia.. Dalam dunia magic ni ada 1 kuasa jahat who was named Lord Voldermort. Boleh dikatakan almost every wizards were afraid of Voldermort ni. He was the one who killed Harry's parents when he was a baby & tried to kill Harry when suddently he lost all his powers & got defeated by the baby. Instantly he became famous, and in the wizarding world, he was widely known as 'the boy who lived'... the baby who defeat Voldermort. Baby tu takde la lawan mcm org dewasa, no... hehehe... It was like, ada kuasa yg baby tu produce sampai Voldermort lost his powers, ranaway and was assumed dead. Due to this, ramai la yg benci Harry and ramai juga yg mengagungkan dia.. Yang benci Harry, of cos, they were Voldermort's clan. But, dlm diam, Voldermort was trying to gain his powers back to confront Harry & deliver his revenge. Noone was brave enough to defeat him before harry.

So dalam diam actually the evil power tak pernah mati pun.  dalam siri pertama till siri 7, mcm2 la cerita dia nak kembalikan kuasa dia and balas dendam dkt Harry Potter, & how Harry and his friends berjuang utk protect Harry & kalahkan Voldermort sampai bila2...

Peh mmg adventurous tau...

Author buku ni perempuan, her name is JK Rowling. Pandai dia buat cerita kan? Sampai adapted to films,and as u all know, movies dia mmg  hit gila... But personally I think the movies were not as good as the books. Mmg selalunya mcm tu lah, producer kebanyakkannya susah nak deliver cerita yg sebagus novel. But HP, hands down, it was phenomenal...
