Get crafty!

I have quite a lot of spare time that I'm still unemployed now. So i can basically do everything that I've always wanted to do before (although I'm just lazing around most of the time) as long as it doesn't involve money coz obviously I ain't have any monayy. I put a pause on sewing laces n ribbons for Ain Al-Sabaa for a bit coz there's no fun in keep repeating doing the same thing and resuming my simple sewing project. Well it does involve some money since I've fallen into this fabric craze now that i managed to find some cool blogs and shops around Klang Valley that sell decent cotton linen fabrics that i love soo much. They're definitely much cheaper than what i bought back in UK. So, that is my problem now :( (bittersweet!)

I usually get the pdf tutorials from U-Handbag and FreeNeedle. I've tried making bigger bags before but i don't really have a big workstation at home so will probably stick to little stuffs at the moment. It's quite evident from my projects that i am an amateur and I am not a very detailed person either. hehe. But will try to be more neat and careful next time =)

Happy Sewing!~ 

Contemporary Abaya

Salam Lebaran everyone! Maaf zahir & batin :)

Di kesempatan ini, nak promote sikit a humble effort of mine and a friend. We're establishing a new label of abaya/jubah by the name of Ain Al-Sabaa which means; Treasure of the Eyes. The design is simple and most fabrics used are soft linen so it's very comfortable to wear casually or to work. The price for all of our abayas are considerably cheaper than what we already have in retail coz we're very new and at a 'trial' stage. So if you happen to read this, kindly help to promote the site as well =) 

Here is the facebook page: Ain Al-Sabaa

Excellent mind map!

Am currently in Boston doing medical assistantship (what a sophisticated name!). Not the US boston but UK boston. A countryside. I know nothing else but this hospital in this area. But i'm having quite  a good time by myself here. Looooving my consultant, his words of wisdom during ward rounds never fail to inspire me. Although he forget dates all the time. Oh well, it's ok coz I have fun reminding him the date 12 times in a 3-hr round. ^^

This loss..

Up to now, it's still difficult to come to term with this loss. Everything happened sooo quickly it made me breathless! Heard Bruno Mar's Count on Me few days ago, don't think i can ever listen to that song anymore. It hurts.

She's more than just a friend. She's a family, a sister to me. I thank Allah for He has given me this short chance to have someone who's filled with Mahmudah values around me. The joy, the warmth, the happiness, the love and the tears all these years that i treasure so much will always be missed. My prayer will always be with you. See you in Jannah insyAllah....

إنا لله و إنا إليه راجعون 

To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return

Realiti semasa

Salam wbt

Had a chance to attend the 'Divine Speech' - 3 days Quranic Arabic course by Bayyinah Institute last Christmas weekend in London. The course was delivered by Nouman Ali Khan. He's super famous weh! Such a great opportunity giving that he rarely delivers his course outside US. And...we bumped into him when we were having dinner at this one Indian restaurant. When he and his company were about to leave, we (about 10 of us) 'shyly' asked if it's ok to take picture and he replied, "My wife won't be too happy" (something like that). And we were like..."Awww..so sweet.." LOL such a girl!^^

Ok back to business. =P The course was undeniably amazing of course. Giving the political scenarios back home(or in any other parts of the world), I find this one really fascinating. It's truly true, nothing but the truth! In the quran, Allah revealed unfair tactics that people usually use to win an argument: 

1) Using threat of force in debate. Eg [21:68] - Instead of debating about the important issue i.e worshipping other than Allah, force of threat is used i.e the disbelievers put a threat to burn Abraham.

2) Character assassination. Eg [21:36]

وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ڪَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَذۡڪُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِڪۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ هُمۡ ڪَـٰفِرُونَ 

And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent (21:36)

 [43:52] - Character assassination made by Pharaoh towards Musa AS.

3) Stirring up emotional crowd. Eg [20:63-64]

4) Making ones feel guilty and question their own modesty or loyalty. Eg [21:52,53]

5) Strategically distracting questions

It sounds very familiar indeed. These are what we will encounter everyday. No choice but to be wise. heh.
