Brussels' Flowercarpet

I just knew this event from my virtual friend, Youssef . He live in Belgium and he had captured a very beautiful images from this flower carpet. It is made by thousands of flowers with rolled turf. Surprisingly colorful and attractive Subhanallah.


Some brief info about flower carpet ( check the details here -> http://www.flowercarpet.be/site/main.php?lg=en) :

1. The whole idea comes from the Landscape architect named E. Stautemans in 1971.
2. They're using Begonia flower as the main component because of its qualities (robustness, resistance to bad weather, long live and freshness, rich range of colors which reflect the light so well).

Just search over the internet and you'll get the information about this lovely festival. Thank you brother Youssef for sharing this with me..

Me and Ensem for Today

I've added new diet for Ensem, Wawa, Buu and Tam tam. Usually i gave them carrot and Chinese veggies for additional food. But last week the owner of pet shop suggest me to give them this dried alfalfa. Guess what, they like it so much and did'nt even want to have their rabbit pallet anymore.

Adoi..this make me worried so Ummi suggest not to let them have to much dried alfalfa(dried alfalfa is more expensive compare to their pallet) only sometime whenever we think they should have it. Slowly they start to eat they rabbit pallet (because there is no other choice). Below is my pic captured when Ensem eating dried alfalfa..

Hadith 16 - La Taghdab

Here one of the hadith from forty hadith Imam Nawawi. It is about controlling your anger.

Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that a man said to the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam:

"Advise me! "The Prophet said, "Do not become angry and furious." The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet said in each case, "Do not become angry and furious."

[Al-Bukhari; Vol. 8 No. 137]

This is a hadith (text from fortyhadith.com) that shows how important for us, muslims to control our anger..i want to post this because this will also be my reminder(somehow i do have problems with anger). We should not act based on anger or while being angry(which sometimes i failed). So hopefully this hadith will be a usefull for all of us.

If i had a baby boy..what his name would be?

Aha..last time i was thinking about girls name..and now the time for boys name. Here a few of names..

Muslim (One who submits to Allah) i like this name the most..hope that i will be given a chance to have my own babies..
Aasim (Person who keeps away from sins)
Afzal (Best, top most)
Aqeel (Wise, intelligent)

I just keep wondering when the special moment will be..?? hmmmm.. never mind

Du'a Tilawah

This song is about du'a tilawah..(the du'a that we read after reciting Al-Quran). It is performed by a Malaysian nasheed group : Raihan.

Istikhara for Marriage

Again i found a very good website about everyday du'a for muslims.. (http://www.guidedways.com/duas/prophetprayers.php?dua=99). I want to highlight this du'a..a very important du'a especially for muslims that already thinking about getting married. The best way is to refer to Allah and ask Him for His guidance.. When one desires to make istikhara for marriage, then keep the person in mind when making niyah. Then do wudhu and perform Salaat. Then praise Allah, mention His Greatness and plead:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُالْغُيُوبِ ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنَّ فِي فُلَانَةِ خَيْرَاً لِي فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي فَاقْدُرْهَا لِي وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا لِي فِي دِينِي وَآخِرَتِي فَاقْدُرْهَا لِي

"O Allah, You have power (control) and I have no control and You know and I do not know, and You know the condition of the Unseen. Thus if You see (deem fit) that this woman (here mention her name) is good for me concerning my Deen, world and Akhirah then grant me her control (make it possible that I marry her) and if besides her there be (another woman) which is better for me concerning Deen and Akhirah then specify her for me (grant me control over he)". (Hisn)

N.B. A woman should read "him" instead of "her".

Art from A4 paper

Just want to share this unique images that i got from my email today..

While am on leave..

Well, i bring Ensem to met A Vet today. Ensem had a problem with his mouth and it worries me. So this is my first time meeting a vet... Nothing serious about Ensem. He just suspected to have a food poisoning so the vet just gave him an injection of pain killer and a bottle of multivitamin. Anyhow they said that Ensem is doing fine..he's healthy Alhamdulillah. So i just need to wait till he got better. I LOVE him so MUCH so does everyone else in my family..so i prayed please dont take my precious Ensem away from me..i couldnt afford it (especially at this moment)..

*somehow i feel like i am slowly turning into a mother (insyaAllah i will be a real mother in the future..ameen)

Something to Share

Title: Circle of Life

I made this last year..it is about green(environment) and life within it. Butterfly symbolize living creature and the curvy circle with marble green means life. Both of this element should blend (symbiosis, etc <-- i am not a scientist to explain further on this) together to make a sustainable environment. Somehow i want to deliver a message on the importance of our green area..

Title: 247

This occurred when i am in a very depressing situation early of this year.. so i snap on a few images and do some editing. So this is part of the product...

Title: 'NOT SURE'

Seriously..am not sure about this and why i made it. But obviously it show how confused i am during that time.

Reminder: This is just an amateur attempt..nothing to be serious about. But if u like it u can keep it, copyrighted from me though. I just hope i could do much more on poster editing, maybe soon ('',)

Before i forgot..i've shared it with all of my family members. They think that this chocolate have a unique taste and Abah like it as much as i do ('',) ehemmm..

Introducing..

Surprise surprise! Zubair(my brother) bought a female baby rabbit today. So now Ensem had a company. We named it with Wawa (comes from word 'lawa' means beautiful in english). Things getting tough because we now have 2 naughty rabbits to be taken care of. Actually Wawa more active than Ensem. Maybe because she's still a baby and she's a female rabbit. Naturally female animals are more active than male . So i snap on a few pics of them..they can get along pretty well. Good for us..means we dont have to provide another cage for each one of them hehe :D

This is Wawa..at 1st Zubair named her as Tompok (spot in english) but then ummi changed it to Wawa..to make it sound more feminine since Wawa is a girl.

Ensem washing his mouth..this is the cutest part of him..comeynyeee

Ensem and Wawa having dinner (i don't know the veggies name) but seems they both share the same taste in food. They look nice together..You can see the hands and it belongs to Aiman(my little brother).

This is our Ensem

Tada! This is my Ensem..cute isn't he?

Naughty Ensem

Today is the 3rd day we live with Ensem..well Ensem still a boy but i didn't expect him to be so naughty.He is just too cute to get angry with. If he's out of his cage..he will hopping everywhere and leave his droppings along. Well rabbit is a very clean animals so am not worried by that. The thing is when he start to leave his urine outside of his cage.

From article about rabbits care..they said that rabbits is a very intelligent animals. So they're easy to train.. Here some of instructions that i got from the website How To Do Just About Everything. Am on my way on training Ensem hoping he could be a better rabbit(long live Ensem..we LOVE u!))

How to Train Your Rabbit

By eHow Pets Editor

Rabbits are incredibly intelligent creatures. Many teach themselves to use a litter box; others need a bit of guidance. Most rabbits learn after just a short period of repetition to understand certain words, phrases, or commands. Don't expect them to obey you every time, however, because their intelligence also propels them to make their own decisions. Many's the time I've felt I could see them considering a decision only to reject it. Rabbits are fiercely independent creatures.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Always use positive feedback; praise your rabbit. Do not criticize, scold, or hit; this will only serve to alienate your rabbit.

Step2

Speak softly and gently to your rabbit to induce him to listen to you.

Step3

Use repetition. For example, when you want to litter box train your rabbit, you might say the following while letting the rabbit smell the contents of the litter box: 'Do pebbles, Smokey. Do pebbles.' Or 'Do puddle, Smokey. Do puddle.'

Step4

Don't force your rabbit to do something. Just guide him and let him go, if he resists or tries to hop away.

Step5

Spend at least an hour or two each day for one or two weeks working on the new behavior with your rabbit.

Step6

Remember that rabbits are rabbits. They are not cats or dogs or any other animal, so they will not act like any other animal. They will only manifest rabbit behavior.

Whats cookin..?

Prawn..me and my auntie (i called her MOKCIK, using Kuala Kangsar accent) had discussed about whats good for cooking prawn. She told me that butter prawn(a famous cuisien since late 90's) taste good. The thing is i never try this dish and i didnt know the recipe either..

So on the next day i took an efford to surf the web for a recipe of butter prawn. I wish i could try it at home on weekend. But since i've bought Ensem..i couldnt spend much time on preparing the ingredients. Am sorry mokcik for disappointing you. But i promise i'll try the recipe next time and i will cook it specially for you ok :D

This are the recipe for butter prawns:

Ingredients

1 lb large prawns
Oil for deep frying
3 tablespoons butter
6 bird's eye chilies (chopped)
3 sprigs of curry leaves (use only the leaves)
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
6 tablespoons of grated coconut (dry fried until golden brown)

Leave the prawn heads and shells on but chop off the eyes part. Slit down the back to remove the veins. Pat dry. Heat oil and deep fry the prawns. Drain and set aside.

Melt the butter, add bird's eye chilies, curry leaves, garlic, salt and fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add prawns, sugar, soy sauce, wine, and grated coconut. Cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve immediately.

Open House at End of Syawal

Last Saturday i've made an appointment with ENT specialist. We go to Darul Ehsan Medical Centre (DEMC) at section 9 Shah Alam. Both of my parents plus my little sister anah a.k.a tepet are with me that day. Abah had a few open house invitation on the same day so i had to follow him since am with them from the beginning.

The 1st house located at section 10 Shah Alam..a friend of abah which his daughter appear to be anah's best friend. Theres a lot of special menu. One of them is Roast Lamb..which happend to be my favourite dish. Well actually One of my favourite.

The 2nd house located at section 11, a very large house. Bungalow lot. The food not as fancy as the 1st house but it still have its own specialities. Now only our stomach already full we couldnt eat much.

The 3rd house placed far away to Kuala Selangor. This is very special friend of abah and ummi because they've known each other since 1984, in sunderland, UK. I cant remember the makcik but she remember me very well. This because of the eldest in my family. So we spent most of the evening here..it is like a family reunion to both of my parents and the host..

I am having a great time plus good food. Can't wait for the next eid..hoping the next eid will be more meaningfull with the person i love ;>

For the time being..am happy with my family.

A Rabbit?

Well actually i just bought my rabbit after worked on Friday. I've already watched the rabbits from the pet shop everyday before. This is because i got to past that pet shop before i could go to the grocery shop which is located just after this pet shop. The uncle(a Chinese old man) of the shop put the rabbits outside. And i will play with them everyday until i decided last month to own one of those rabbits.

I asked (via sms n calls) everyone including ummi, my sister DEB, Tepet and my little brother aiman and they all agreed except ummi. She wants me to take the full responsibilities and she does not want to get involved. But i just couldnt hold myself..and then when i realise i already bought a RABBIT..omg this creature they're just too cute to let go. MashaAllah..

His name is ENSEM which is originally from an english word HANDSOME means very good looking. So here i am now with ensem as well as other pets, Man(toman-a fish), OOen(cat) and a very fury lobster that doesnt have any name.

I'll put the picture of him next time for everyone to see..i pray to Allah that my Ensem always be in a healthy condition as well as our other pets..
