When you feel miserable,unhappy,depressed…try recite this prayer.InsyaAllah you will feel better then…:)

لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَا‌ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتۡ وَعَلَيۡہَا مَا ٱكۡتَسَبَتۡ‌ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذۡنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوۡ أَخۡطَأۡنَا‌ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡنَآ إِصۡرً۬ا كَمَا حَمَلۡتَهُ ۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِنَا‌ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلۡنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ‌ۖ وَٱعۡفُ عَنَّا وَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَآ‌ۚ أَنتَ مَوۡلَٮٰنَا فَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ (٢٨٦)

“On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray): “Our Lord! condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; help us against those who stand against faith.” (Surah al-Baqrah,verse 286)

Online community sites are growing everyday. Have you heard about Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, Hi5 or lots, lots more of the community sites? I guess now the most popular sites battling in Malaysia are between Friendster and Facebook. I have both Faceook and Friedster accounts. I’ve been a member of Friendster since 2003 and for the last five years I already have 815 friends. When I first arrived in Australia in 2007, most of my friends have this account. They asked me to join this site as it is popular in Australia at that time and until now.hehehe…Finally, I signed up to Facebook but I was not really active with it. I only uploaded two, three pictures of mine, a little introduction of myself and logged in just to accept friends’ invite. My heart was still with Friendster then.hahaha…But right now, I’m so in love with Facebook. As explained on its site, Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you. Now I have 301 friends in my networks. So, what’s really special about Facebook that is attracting me to be ‘unfaithful’ with Friendster? The first thing  is there is no limitation of picture size can be uploaded in Facebook, that means I don’t have to waist my time to resize the pictures that I want to upload. The second thing is I can upload up to 60 pictures at one time and again I save my time. Another thing I realize is the age group of the Facebook members is more mature than Friendster…:D Most of them are from 20++ onward and you will find a lot more professional members. Facebook has tons of applications and tools to play around the site. One of my favourite is photos’ tagging which is a lot easier than submitting photos to your friends! I also can share albums, videos and links with everyone on Facebook. Not to say about funny quizzes that help me overcome boredom and sleepy head during my daytime at office. I don’t think so I want to jot down everything here about Facebook. Why don’t you guys sign up to Facebook and experience it yourself. But I will still keep my Friendster account as I have different networks of friends here and becomes the second favourite online community site of mine…:D

I l really love this song and of course the lyrics as well.It makes me drown deep into the sea of love.This song was dedicated to me from my beloved hubby.I love you sayang…

Bryan Adams-Everything I Do,I Do It For You

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you’ll search no more

Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for
You know it’s true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find
There’s nothin’ there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for
I can’t help it - there’s nothin’ I want more
Ya know it’s true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There’s no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There’s nowhere - unless you’re there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
I can’t help it - there’s nothin’ I want more
I would fight for you - I’d lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I’d die for you

Ya know it’s true
Everything I do - I do it for you

I was sitting on the chair in front of the PC at my office when suddenly everything on the desk were shaking.It was like someone strong shaking the desk. At first I thought it was my legs banging the desk but then I realised that the floor was also vibrating. It hapenned at around 4.30pm for about half minutes. Husna was praying at that time and I just sat still until she finished. Then I asked her “Did you feel the vibration?”. She answered “Yuppss…did you feel it too?I thought it was me feeling dizzy!”. Oh my God,did we just experience an earthquake?We were quite terrifying. Later my husband and I watched the 6pm news and I got the answer. It was an earthquake with a 4.5 magnitude and it was the second earthquake in Melbourne just after 12 days!I’m praying that there will be no more earthquake after this.It was my first experience of earthquake and it was quite unsettling experience.

It has been a while I haven’t written anything here and this is my first writing after a long ‘hari raya’ break. Yups, I can say it was a long break (26/09-08/10), spent time at my parents’ place for 10 days!!! Thank you my beloved hubby…Hmmm, its Friday again…but today, I felt very, very tired. The whole morning, Fara n I spent our time in IC design lab, to finish our task (design comparator using mentor graphic) for school exhibition. We almost forgot everything on how to use the software.hahaha…then I had appointments with my students (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon) regarding to their final year project.huhuhu…there is one more reason I felt tired today, may be because of the weather. It has been very,very warm in Perlis recently even though it is usually raining at night.I’m looking forward to Deepavali break next week. I want to spend my time with my hubby. Miss u my dear…

A week more to celebrate hari raya. Can’t focus on my work these few days…:P Alhamdulillah, for this year I’ll celebrate hari raya in Malaysia and more exciting, I’ll celebrate it at my parents’ home in Muar with all my brother and sisters. Thanks so much to my beloved hubby for being so considerable. Actually, he made the decision before we get married while I was still in Melbourne. He said, “sian kat dia, tahun lepas dah raya sorg2 kt melben.x pe, thn ni kita raya kat muar k”. Love you so much sayang for being so kind. We’ll be going back to Langkawi tomorrow but not at the same time as he’ll fly from LCCT to Langkawi at 650pm and I’ll try to catch the 630pm ferry from Kuala Perlis as I have a meeting tomorrow from 3pm until…??? Hopefully, I can catch it and I’ve already asked Yat to send me to the jetty. My husband and I will stay at Langkawi until this Sunday, and then we’ll go back to Perlis. Early on Monday morning, we we’ll start our ‘balik kampung’ trip to Muar. Actually, he has an interview at Motorola Penang on that day, may be we’ll stop at Penang for a while and then continue our journey to Muar. It will take around seven hours drive from Perlis to Muar but I’m really, really excited. Can’t wait for tomorrow onwards….:D BALIK KAMPUNG…OOOO…BALIK KAMPUNG…OOOO…BALIK KAMPUNG…HATI GIRANG…!!!!!!!!

This is our first ramadhan together as husband and wife.we celebrated the first ramadhan at my family’s place (muar…I miss my family…huhuhu)…as usual, my mum did all the cooking, my sisters helped her where needed.hihihi…me? I went to bazaar ramadhan with my hubby, my brother and my abah. hehehe…a little bit naughty because i didn’t help at all at the kitchen. After the break, we went to surau, just next to our house to do the terawikh (20 rakaats).I really enjoy this…one sort of good exersice! Then, we woke up for sahur at 5.10am…my husband took rice for sahur but for us (mak, abah, sisters, brother n me), we took toast bread and milo…i did the dish washing after sahur (at least I did something…:P) we were in muar until the third day of ramadhan. Then I went back to kangar and he went back to PD…so sad…started from that day, I went through the ramadhan all alone in kangar…then we met again on the 13th ramadhan. He came back to kangar…I was so happy, happy and happy…yups, at least I had someone to talk with and to be pempered…hihihi…he arrived early on saturday morning, around 6.15am and I fetched him at the jln syed alwi petronas…but on that day, I had two compulsory activities for lecturers.huhuhu…first, in the moring I had forum at capitol hall, unimap from 8.30am until noon.but again, naughty me, I left early with yat n bibi(hihihi…they came with my car) at around 9.30am…hahaha…then I went back home and asked my husband to go to tesco…we went to tesco to buy goods for cooking and etc. We were really excited!!! Luckily I had experience when I was in melbourne to buy all these kind of goods, otherwise…faint! I never do groceries before! Same like him…hihihi…we bought veges, chicken, siakap, prawn and some other things for our house. Then we went back at around 1.15pm…after reached home, I had to get ready for the second activity ‘Thesis writing skill’ for final year student at 2.30pm at automart,unimap. Again ,I left him alone at home…I returned home at 5.15pm,after asar I started my cooking which were nasi lemak, sambal ikan bilis and ayam masak kicap. He helped me fry the ikan bilis and chicken.hehehe…at least he helped me something. We planned to go to bazar ramadhan before but suddenly it was raining cats and dogs,so we just watched tv together until maghrib. It’s time to break fast! Actually he really likes my mum’s sambal ikan bilis and that’s why he wanted me to cook the sambal. Yeahh!!! He likes all my cooking! Then we prayed maghrib, isyak and terawikh together…I woke him up for sahur at 5.10am and we just ate bread with peanut butter on it and milo. After prayed subuh together, we went back to sleep until 10am.hihihi…We went back to langkawi at noon on that day…his mum already cooked all the dishes when we arrived so I just helped her to prepare the table. Very, very yummy…grilled terubuk, kari bawal, kailan ikan masin, sambal sotong and fresh coconut drink…we went back to kangar with the first ferry in the morning as I had to work on that day…for that day, I cooked chicken paprik, and fried chicken. We also bought some ‘kuih’ from bazaar ramadhan. The next day, I cooked sweet and sour siakap, fried spinach and also some fries n chicken popcorn. Actually he fried all the fries and chicken popcorn.hehehe…And the last day, I cooked pasta carbonara and fried rice. Just simple dishes as he’s going back to PD by bus at 9pm but he really enjoyed the food…After prayed isyak together, I sent him to the bus station…hmmm…so sad…I left all alone again…He will come back again next week, on the 26th…can’t wait to meet him again!!!!
