SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

To all muslims out there, here's wishing you Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.

BALIK KAMPUNG!!!

It's that time of year again...balik kampung season. Come to think of it, balik kampung is one of the major events in Malaysia everytime there's a festivities. Anyway, to all friends wherever you may be, especially to those balik kampung, have a safe trip home. To those taking the opportunity to go on a trip during the hols...take care too. My family will depart on the 28th, from Limbang by land to Miri, then taking an airplane to KLIA. Should arrived by 11pm. Hopefully still have time to do last minute shopping in Klang.

Return to Limbang

Come this September, it'll be 2 years that I've served in Limbang. A lot of things and informations I've not mastered. Slowly but surely, I am getting there. 'Stumbling' on this documentary about Limbang (specifically during the rebellion) had increased my knowledge of Limbang. Just thought of sharing and learning more of this Northern-most division of Sarawak.

HaPpY 9Th AnNiVeRsArY DeArEsT!

Yup, today is my 9th wedding anniversary. How time flies especially when you're with someone so special and close to your heart.

Tahun ni, sambut anniversary dalam bulan puasa. Dari semalam dah plan nak buat bodoh je...mesti wife ingat kite lupe kan kan kan...today ada la nak celebrate sikit sikit..nak lebih lebih pun bulan puasa. Tambah lak ngan anak-anak yang comel-comel belaka (nakal ya rabbi...but sweet), dia orang yang over celebrate karang...yang pasti Kek mesti ade. Lepas tu kena la cari bunga segar...entah ade entah tidak ke Limbang ni. Apa-apa pun kad tunggu nak print je (buat sendiri lagi best + jimat belanja). Bukan kedekut tapi biarla berpada-pada.

Okayla..have to search for the flowers now. Cheers!!!

1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked.

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God. God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way. Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.


2. Forgive And Forget:

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forgive,20 Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.


3. Do Not Crave For Recognition:

This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yours lf in striving for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely.


4. Do Not Be Jealous:

We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be jealous? No. Remember everybody's life is shaped by his/her destiny, which has now become his/her reality. If you are destined to be rich, nothing in the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere; it will only take away your peace of mind.


5. Change Yourself According To The Environment:

If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.


6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured:

This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control... If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully. Believe in yourself and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.


7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew:

This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. . Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.


8. Meditate Regularly:

Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.


9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant:

An empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile . Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or religious work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name.


10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret:

Do not waste time in protracted wondering " Should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Why cry over spilt milk?

Alhamdulillah masuk hari ke dua puasa tahun ni. Anak-anak pun tahun ni berazam nak puasa penuh cam tahun tahun lepas. Lama sangat dah tak masuk update blog nih, bukan sengaja cuma tak ada kesempatan dan idea untuk dicoretkan. Nak kasi taruk yang biasa biasa, nanti boring lak tapi will try my best. Ramai gak member bloggers dah tak aktif dah cam saya gak. Nampak gaya kena remove dari list la...sorry okay. Tapi kalau aktif balik, jangan malu jangan segan, kasi tau la. Last nite cari member active bloggers, rupa rupanya dah tukar blog. Kena add balik, sorry pasal lama tak update blog.

Kali ni nak cakap pasal puasa la ye since berada dalam bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ni. Petang semalam bila buka posa, tengok muka anak-anak yang puasa sehari suntuk, timbul gak rasa kesian tapi tak boleh la bagi muka, karang sampai besar nanti tak nak puasa. Yang abang nak goreng pisang je (air teh-c-special wajib), kakak lak nak apam balik (ngan teh-c-special gak la, pasal umminya yang buat). Tapi masa keluar beli juadah berbuka tu, dua-duanya tak larat, sampai kakaknya baring je dalam kereta. Abang lak, kejap kejap tanya dah boleh buka ke (kat sini buka puasa 6.40 ptg, so kira awal gak la). Macam macam kerenah kena layan, sabar je la kan. Tak kisah, asalkan mereka berpuasa.

Tiap-tiap kali puasa, saya tak la ada masalah sangat(insyaAllah tak sakit ke ape ke), cuma bab mengantuk ni, tu la dugaan yang paling hebat. Aduhhh, kalau boleh nak bantai tidur je (tapi kurangla pahala, ye tak?). Nasib baik kena kerja, kalau tak memang sah buat taik mata je! Bukan tak cukup tidur, tapi faham-faham le, tak cukup supply tenaga (hehehe). Kalau nak fikirkan, orang rumah lagi penat. Mana nak bangun sebelum subuh nak siapkan sahur, lepas tu nak jaga baby lagi (anak bongsu la ni), nak buat kerja rumah lagi ishhh...tak leh bayangkan kepenatan melanda. Kita ni kerja kat opis okay la jugak. Esok kena buat special untuk orang rumah. Pasal esok genap 9 tahun dah bersama-sama sebagai suami isteri!!! Wah wah, cepat masa berlalu yek! Apa nak bagi kat wife ni?? Any suggestions??

Okay la..cukup setakat ni update kali ni...so to all muslimin & muslimat, Selamat Menjalankan Ibadah Berpuasa!!! Caio!!!
