Nice and simple. This is Razi's creation. I'll get the recipe from him and blog it up soon, okay? He has been helping me prepare my meals daily since I was ill. He'd do almost anything to try to make me happy. Yet he deserves happiness, too. But I seriously don't know why good people mostly end up having idiots as parents. Sorry for my language. I am not that stable yet, I am always angry at the hypocrites around me. I am still not feeling well, I cannot stand too long nor can I walk long distance. It is still very painful inside. Please pray for me. Thanks a million :) *BIG HUGS TO ALL*

HOW TO STAY POSITIVE?

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~


HOW TO STAY POSITIVE WHEN YOU ARE REALLY DOWN?

Okay, truth be told, I am currently in need of a hypnotist right this minute because I am not really feeling great since the day I had the operation (17th October 2011). The bad person who did the SIHIR [black magic] on me [a 62 year old Muslim Punjabi woman who in her entire life, has been happily telling people that she is a pure Malay, who has performed pilgrimage [Hajj] twice in her life and is wearing the pious Muslim outfit (covering her head as required by the religion), had been taking charge of my life, taking the job of The Al-Mighty that she has been praying to all these while, in determining what kind of things and stuffs to be inserted in my body, the amount of pain and harm to inflict on me daily.

She once told Razi (and this conversation was all duly taped as evidence) that SHE WILL HAVE AN EASY DEATH. Surprising isn't it? SHE WILL MAKE SURE THAT I WILL BE GONE FROM THIS EARTH i.e. SHE WILL MAKE SURE THAT I AM DEAD! And she also once said, (also duly taped as evidence) that she is also a mother who will never harm another person's child! ['AKU PUN SATU MAK.') Oh..she is so capable of throwing the word round like it's a frisbee. YOU DON'T HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE, my arse! Sorry for my French. None of my family members believe that I am a victim of SIHIR because it is very difficult for them to believe these things. But take it from me, it is as dangerous as murder. That woman has successfully wrecked my life. Honestly, I feel like ripping her face off right this minute as I am typing away. IT WAS UNFORGIVABLE. She doesn't want me around because she doesn't want people to know the truth in her. Nothing bites harder than the teeth of truth, huh? Once, when I told Razi about things that happened and the stuffs I saw, he had problem believing, too. But like a ball bearing in dry sad, the truth had trouble sinking in, BUT SINK IN, IT DID, LANDING WITH A HUGE THUD IN THE PIT OF HIS STOMAH ONE FINE DAY WHEN HE HEARD THE CONVERSATION THAT BITCH HAD WITH ANOTHER PARTNER IN CRIME OF HERS. See..I am practically a threat to that witch, and Razi and I are going to put the jigsaw remains together. InsyaALLAH...

I had a particular bad week, bad experience and bad aura around me. To top things off, for the past 2 nights in the area where I am living seemed to be having a 'who can make the most noise' contest. What with the continuous fireworks and people shouting and expressing out their joy for being able to celebrate the festival of lights.

*arrghhh*...Imagine the things I had to deal with in my life right now. Can you guys please pray for me, to get well soon? And so that I can remain positive deep inside? Please...

Right now I am feeling as though the whole world hurts my feelings. I surely need double dosage of the anti-depression pill. Right? I have been on XANAX 'HAPPY PILLS' for the past few days, given by my Doctor. You know that drug which have been helping me to calm myself down and believe that everything would be all right? I am feeling shattered inside and I am very exhausted. That 'HAPPY PILLS" help me to feel good inside and help me to sleep better at night. It is as if it's reminding me of a fact that even if I'm depressed, I should have it in style!

Would you pray for me?

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON?

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~


What is wrong with everyone around me? Almost everyone says that they understand the pain I am enduring. Really? Do you know the amount of pain I had to endure daily? Are you feeling the same way too? Are you also a victim of sihir? Do you have metals, needles, dolls and whatever nonsense in your body that has to be extracted? I always felt like asking them that. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. I am not sure who came up with this simplistic catchall silver lining? And its twin: IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE!

I guess I need that XANAZ PILL again! I am so not calm today.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TODAY TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD? That was the question I asked myself this morning whilst picking out the outfit to wear after my bath. At the end of the day, I picked my black T-shirt and a black short with some red flowery designs on it. Let's see how this outfit affects my mood today.

I googled and found a couple of writings that helped me to understand about colours. I was attracted to this statement~ Body is an outward expression of that which is taking place within the mind, the soul (subconscious) , and the spirit (superconscious) of the individual. Thus, any healing technique which deals only with the physical body and the energy field of the individual tends to accomplish one thing: it jump starts the individual, so to speak, and gives him or her an added boost of energy. That energy boost then allows that person's own internal healing mechanism to become mobilized into greater activity. Click here to read more.

CUPCAKES :)

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~




I baked these cupcakes before I had my oh-so-painful operation last week. Maybe, if you have some free time, you can try your hands baking some and share them with your love ones. Please..please..please pray for good recovery, yeah? No matter what your religion is, I trust that we share the same GOD. THE AL-MIGHTY. We come from the same place, the same GOD created us and we will all be going back to HIM at the end of the day. And that is why, I respect and love everyone irregardless of their religions.



Here is the recipe :) It is nice to enjoy them with a cup of Earl Grey Tea or your choice of favourite coffee. I am planning to take up the Barista Course end of this year when the school is having its long holidays.

ADEN'S CUPCAKES

125g unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup castor sugar
2 whole eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Fresh Milk
walnuts, chocolate chips, cherries and any dried fruits of your choice for decorations.

Methods:

* beat the butter and sugar until it turns fluffy and whitish. Then, add eggs one at a time.

* In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Then, add them to the egg mixture.

* After that, pour in the milk into the mixture and mix well.

*Last but not least, stir in walnuts / chocolate chips/ cherries/ any dried fruits of your choice.

p/s- If you prefer it to have a chocolate taste, add 2 Tablespoons of Hershey's Cocoa Powder to the mixture. And if you would like to have some strawberry flavour, you may add in the strawberry emulco. It would be great to enjoy this soft cupcakes with your friends and love ones.

ENJOY!

p/s- To all students out there, remember to enjoy your life. Baking is a way to de-stress. Both girls and boys should love baking and cooking. Who says that only girls should learn how to cook? The best chefs out there are mostly men! Girls, NO HEART FEELINGS, YEAH? *naughty winks*

HARI KIAMAT

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~

I received an email earlier today containing very informative facts. I believe that it is worth sharing with everyone here :) Have a read.

Gambaran Hari Kiamat (Wajib Baca!)

1. Selepas Malaikat Israfil meniup sangkakala (bentuknya seperti tanduk besar) yang memekakkan telinga, seluruh makhluk mati kecuali Izrail & beberapa malaikat yang lain. Selepas itu, Izrail pun mencabut nyawa malaikat yang tinggal dan akhirnya nyawanya sendiri.

2. Selepas semua makhluk mati, Tuhan pun berfirman mafhumnya “Kepunyaan siapakah kerajaan hari ini?” Tiada siapa yang menjawab. Lalu Dia sendiri menjawab dengan keagunganNya “Kepunyaan Allah Yang Maha Esa lagi Maha Perkasa.” Ini menunjukkan kebesaran & keagunganNya sebagai Tuhan yg Maha Kuasa lagi Maha Kekal Hidup, tidak mati.

3. Selepas 40 tahun, Malaikat Israfil a.s. dihidupkan, seterusnya meniup sangkakala untuk kali ke-2, lantas seluruh makhluk hidup semula di atas bumi putih, berupa padang Mahsyar (umpama padang Arafah) yang rata tidak berbukit atau bulat seperti bumi.

4. Sekelian manusia hidup melalui benih anak Adam yg disebut “Ajbuz Zanbi” yang berada di hujung tulang belakang mereka. Hiduplah manusia umpama anak pokok yang kembang membesar dari biji benih.

5. Semua manusia dan jin dibangkitkan dalam keadaan telanjang dan hina. Mereka tidak rasa malu kerana pada ketika itu hati mereka sangat takut dan bimbang tentang nasib & masa depan yang akan mereka hadapi kelak.

6. Lalu datanglah api yang berterbangan dengan bunyi seperti guruh yang menghalau manusia, jin dan binatang ke tempat perhimpunan besar. Bergeraklah mereka menggunakan tunggangan (bagi yang banyak amal), berjalan kaki (bagi yang kurang amalan) dan berjalan dengan muka (bagi yang banyak dosa). Ketika itu, ibu akan lupakan anak, suami akan lupakan isteri, setiap manusia sibuk memikirkan nasib mereka.

7. Setelah semua makhluk dikumpulkan, matahari dan bulan dihapuskan cahayanya, lalu mereka tinggal dalam kegelapan tanpa cahaya. Berlakulah huru-hara yang amat dahsyat.

8. Tiba-tiba langit yang tebal pecah dengan bunyi yang dahsyat, lalu turunlah malaikat sambil bertasbih kepada Allah SWT. Seluruh makhluk terkejut melihat saiz malaikat yang besar dan suaranya yang menakutkan.

9. Kemudian matahari muncul semula dengan kepanasan yang berganda. Hingga dirasakan seakan-akan matahari berada sejengkal dari atas kepala mereka. Ulama berkata jika matahari naik di bumi seperti keadaannya naik dihari Kiamat nescaya seluruh bumi terbakar, bukit-bukau hancur dan sungai menjadi kering. Lalu mereka rasai kepanasan dan bermandikan peluh sehingga peluh mereka menjadi lautan. Timbul atau tenggelam mereka bergantung pada amalan masing-masing. Keadaan mereka berlanjutan sehingga 1000 tahun.

10. Terdapat satu telaga kepunyaan Nabi Muhammad SAW bernama Al-Kausar yang mengandungi air yang hanya dapat diminum oleh orang mukmin sahaja. Orang bukan mukmin akan dihalau oleh malaikat yang menjaganya. Jika diminum airnya tidak akan haus selama-lamanya. Kolam ini berbentuk segi empat tepat sebesar satu bulan perjalanan. Bau air kolam ini lebih harum dari kasturi, warnanya lebih putih dari susu dan rasanya lebih sejuk dari embun. Ia mempunyai saluran yang mengalir dari syurga.

11. Semua makhluk berada bawah cahaya matahari yang terik kecuali 7 golongan yang mendapat teduhan dari Arasy. Mereka ialah:
a;- Pemimpin yang adil.
b;- Orang muda yang taat kepada perintah Allah.
c;- Lelaki yang terikat hatinya dengan masjid.
d;- Dua orang yang bertemu kerana Allah dan berpisah kerana Allah.
e;- Lelaki yang diajak oleh wanita berzina, tetapi dia menolak dengan berkata “Aku takut pada Allah”.
f;- Lelaki yg bersedekah dengan bersembunyi (tidak diketahui orang ramai).
g;- Lelaki yang suka bersendirian mengingati Allah lalu mengalir air matanya kerana takutkan Allah.

12. Oleh kerana tersangat lama menunggu di padang mahsyar, semua manusia tidak tahu berbuat apa melainkan mereka yang beriman, kemudian mereka terdengar suara “pergilah berjumpa dengan para Nabi”. Maka mereka pun pergi mencari para Nabi. Pertama sekali kumpulan manusia ini berjumpa dengan Nabi Adam tetapi usaha mereka gagal kerana Nabi Adam a.s menyatakan beliau juga ada melakukan kesalahan dengan Allah SWT. Maka kumpulan besar itu kemudiannya berjumpa Nabi Nuh a.s., Nabi Ibrahim a.s., Nabi Musa a.s., Nabi Isa a.s. (semuanya memberikan sebab seperti Nabi Adam a.s.) dan akhirnya mereka berjumpa Rasullullah SAW. Jarak masa antara satu nabi dengan yang lain adalah 1000 tahun perjalanan.

13. Lalu berdoalah baginda Nabi Muhammad SAW ke hadrat Allah SWT. Lalu diperkenankan doa baginda.

14. Selepas itu, terdengar bunyi pukulan
gendang yang kuat hingga menakutkan hati semua makhluk kerana mereka sangka azab akan turun. Lalu terbelah langit, turunlah arasy Tuhan yang dipikul oleh 8 orang malaikat yang sangat besar (besarnya sejarak perjalanan 20 ribu tahun) sambil bertasbih dengan suara yang amat kuat sehingga ‘Arasy itu tiba dibumi.

15. ‘Arasy ialah jisim nurani yang amat besar berbentuk kubah (bumbung bulat) yang mempunyai 4 batang tiang yang sentiasa dipikul oleh 4 orang malaikat yang besar dan gagah. Dalam bahasa mudah ia seumpama istana yang mempunyai seribu bilik yang menempatkan jutaan malaikat di dalamnya. Ia dilingkungi embun yang menghijab cahayanya yang sangat kuat.

16. Kursi iaitu jisim nurani yang terletak di hadapan Arasy yang dipikul oleh 4 orang malaikat yang sangat besar. Saiz kursi lebih kecil dari ‘Arasy umpama cincin ditengah padang . Dalam bahasa mudah ia umpama singgahsana yang terletak dihadapan istana.

17. Seluruh makhluk pun menundukkan kepala kerana takut. Lalu dimulakan timbangan amal. Ketika itu berterbanganlah kitab amalan masing-masing turun dari bawah Arasy menuju ke leher pemiliknya tanpa silap dan tergantunglah ia sehingga mereka dipanggil untuk dihisab. Kitab amalan ini telah ditulis oleh malaikat Hafazhah / Raqib & ‘Atid / Kiraman Katibin.
d Manusia beratur dalam saf mengikut Nabi dan pemimpin masing- masing. Orang kafir & munafik beratur bersama pemimpin mereka yang zalim. Setiap pengikut ada tanda mereka tersendiri untuk dibezakan.

18. Umat yang pertama kali dihisab adalah umat Nabi Muhammad SAW, dan amalan yang pertama kali dihisab adalah solat. Sedangkan hukum yang pertama kali diputuskan adalah perkara pertumpahan darah.

19. Apabila tiba giliran seseorang hendak dihisab amalannya, malaikat akan mencabut kitab mereka lalu diserahkan, lalu pemiliknya mengambil dengan tangan kanan bagi orang mukmin dan dengan tangan kiri jika orang bukan mukmin.

20. Semua makhluk akan dihisab amalan mereka menggunakan satu Neraca Timbangan. Saiznya amat besar, mempunyai satu tiang yang mempunyai lidah dan 2 daun. Daun yang bercahaya untuk menimbang pahala dan yang gelap untuk menimbang dosa.

21. Acara ini disaksikan oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW dan para imam 4 mazhab untuk menyaksikan pengikut masing-masing dihisab.
d Perkara pertama yang diminta ialah Islam. Jika dia bukan Islam, maka seluruh amalan baiknya tidak ditimbang bahkan amalan buruk tetap akan ditimbang.

22. Ketika dihisab, mulut manusia akan dipateri, tangan akan berkata- kata, kaki akan menjadi saksi. Tiada dolak-dalih dan hujah tipuan. Semua akan di adili oleh Allah Ta’ala dengan Maha Bijaksana.

23. Setelah amalan ditimbang, mahkamah Mahsyar dibuka kepada orang ramai untuk menuntut hak masing-masing dari makhluk yang sedang dibicara sehinggalah seluruh makhluk berpuas hati dan dibenarkannya menyeberangi titian sirat.

24. Syafaat Nabi Muhammad SAW di akhirat :
a;- Meringankan penderitaan makhluk di Padang Mahsyar dengan mempercepatkan hisab.
b;- Memasukkan manusia ke dalam syurga tanpa hisab.
c;- Mengeluarkan manusia yang mempunyai iman sebesar zarah dari neraka.
(Semua syafaat ini tertakluk kepada keizinan Allah SWT.)

25. Para nabi dan rasul serta golongan khawas juga diberikan izin oleh Tuhan untuk memberi syafaat kepada para pengikut mereka. Mereka ini berjumlah 70 000. Setiap seorang dari mereka akan mensyafaatkan 70 000 orang yang lain.

26. Setelah berjaya dihisab, manusia akan mula berjalan menuju syurga melintasi jambatan sirat. Siratul Mustaqim ialah jambatan (titian) yang terbentang dibawahnya neraka. Lebar jambatan ini adalah seperti sehelai rambut yang dibelah tujuh dan ia lebih tajam dari mata pedang. Bagi orang mukmin ia akan dilebarkan dan dimudahkan menyeberanginya.

27. Fudhail bin Iyadh berkata perjalanan di Sirat memakan masa 15000 tahun. 5000 tahun menaik, 5000 tahun mendatar dan 5000 tahun menurun. Ada makhluk yang melintasinya seperti kilat, seperti angin, menunggang binatang korban dan berjalan kaki. Ada yang tidak dapat melepasinya disebabkan api neraka sentiasa menarik kaki mereka, lalu mereka jatuh ke dalamnya.

28. Para malaikat berdiri di kanan dan kiri sirat mengawasi setiap makhluk yang lalu. Setiap 1000 orang yang meniti sirat, hanya seorang sahaja yang Berjaya melepasinya. 999 orang akan terjatuh ke dalam neraka.

a; Jika sekiranya kalian ingin mengumpul saham akhirat, sampaikanlah ilmu ini kepada sahabat² yang lain. Sepertimana sabda Rasulullah SAW: d77; Sampaikanlah pesananku walaupun satu ayat. d78; Sesungguhnya apabila matinya seseorang anak Adam itu, hanya 3 perkara yang akan dibawanya bersama :
b; Sedekah/amal jariahnya.
c; Doa anak²nya yang soleh.
d; Ilmu yang bermanfaat yang disampaikannya kepada orang lain.

How often do you say thanks to THE ALL-MIGHTY?



To all Muslims, say 'ALHAMDULILLAH' as many times as possible in your heart, no matter where you are, no matter what you do. Because you should always know that ALLAH IS WITH YOU everywhere you go. And don't ever think that He is no where close.
