shoulder to shoulder

Terawih reminds me of school.

back in the days when we used to sit together on the top floor of the surau and wait till it was time for jemaah prayers.
before:
  • Subuh, was to catch a little more sleep.
  • Zohor, to predict what was cooking at the Dewan Makan
  • Asar, was to plan a skip of riadah or to take a short nap after afternoon prep
  • Maghrib, we shared some stories and we planned for a quick grab at the canteen. oh and also looking through the holes from above for some sign of crushes.
  • Isyak, all ready for bed or some plans to burn the midnight oil.
that said,

everyone at least should go to asrama and learn how to rapatkan saf! coz the saf looks horrible in the masjid sometimes. like today, it looked like someone with gigi rongak. what's so hard about it i don't get. unless of course it feels better to feel a little air between you and the next person. sheesh! not the point please!

love thy master

note to self:

enjoy a compliment or two if you must. just don't over indulge.
accept the propositions and reach for the end results. in fact make them better.
there's no such thing as over achieving.
golden rule is to always be grateful and never forget to say thank you.

oh and have a laugh more than once a day.



work is fun. long hours & stress, but fun.

avoiding the trash

I was browsing through ikea, harvey norman and barang-barang with mom and granny today. saw people buying things for the house. things they need some they didn't (that is if they took a second to think about it). either way cashing out and putting more things in the house.
purpose: decorate,store, redecorate, more storing.


grams found herself a 'granny' chair that matched

Ever thought of how much stuff lying around in the house that we don't need, really?

earlier this morning i was doing a very fast tidying up of my dressing table alone and i've got a whole normal size plastic bag full of unwanted goods to be thrown out. some trash. others just spoiled or serve no purpose to be kept any longer. sheesh!

living less is living healthy. that's my motto for today.

passing thought --> i'm not too excited at the thought of decorating my own home. buying my own dining table, dinner plates, pots and pans, litter bins, food supply. well at least not anytime soon. guess i'm not ready to start on my own. independence? pfftt. who said i wanted complete independence? i'm sticking to being mum's helper for now.
