Conference 2012

Alhamdullilah..

My paper has been accepted (either extended abstract or full paper) in ICIMB 2012. I've presented in the same conference back in 2010. It was in KL. But this time, it will be held in Brunel Uni of London. Wow.. great experience I would say, meeting people from different background, sharing each other knowledge.. etc. 

Now, I am contemplating...to go or not to go.. I really want to go, It's either

1. To bring the whole family - we have a very HUGE plan for next year. Need to save for that. 

2. Me and Amal (as she is fully bf)-  No, it's impossible. I will not be able to join the conference and present

3. Me, hubby and Amal - Depends on hubby's schedule. 

4. Me alone - Huhuhu... x best!!

I have yet to discuss this with my SV- Prof MD. Will see how the plan goes... 

"Ya Allah, ubun2 ke dalam genggaman mu, bimbinglah daku, berikanlah petunjuk dan hidayah kepada ku di dalam membuat keputusan yang tebaik", Aamiin..."

Wasalam

## By the way, I've been to that Brunel's place last year. It's located at Uxbridge and actually we've stayed while we were in London. In fact, I've met the Malaysian penghulu (for the Brunel's student) in London!

Doa Mohon Diatasi Berbagai Kesulitan

This morning, I listened to IKIM.FM while driving back home from UM. It was a good sharing from Ustazah Nor Hafizah Musa, a lecturer from UTM on the topic - Pendidikan dan Penghayatan Akhlak. 

She shared some tips and doa as well. In fact she wrote the doa on the comment in IKIM.FM FB's wall.  Let me share it here.. (copy paste ye...)

" Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku adalah hambaMu, anak hamba-Mu ( lelaki) dan anak hambaMu (perempuan). Ubun2ku di dalam genggamanMu, hukumanMu berlaku kepadaku, ketetapan (qada') Mu adalah adil,aku memohon kepadaMu dgn setiap nama yg Engkau telah berikan utk diriMu atau yg Engkau telah berikan untuk diriMu atau yg Engkau turunkan dalam kitabMu, atau yg Engkau ajarkan kpd seseorang drpd makhlukMu atau yg Engkau simpankan dlm perbndaharaan ghaib drpd ilmuMu, agar Engkau jadikan al quran sbg penyejuk hatiku, cahaya dadaku, pelenyap dukaku dan penghilang kesedihanku."

~ riwayat ibnu hibban. Kdg2 ustzh amal, bila ada apa2 saja yg mencabar, susah, sedih..... kita katalah " ya Allah, ubun2ku dlm genggamanMu...bimbinglah aku Ya Allah"...

To me, it was a great doa. It's actually inside one of my fav doa book by Johari Alias (1995). Sangat terkesan ye bila membacanya. 

the cover

the doa..titled "Doa Mohon Diatasi Berbagai Kesulitan"

Malay version

Few times, I gave this book to friends. Jadi selalu lah on off baca doa tu, sbb x de stock. Jadi tadi I bought 2 sets kat PKNS. One is for me and another one is for my SV.

I have another doa which I think is very good, dalam buku tu jugak. The title is "Doa mohon dapat membayar hutang yang berat". Before this, after dhuha I used to recite this doa. Untill one day... crossed in my mind..."eh.. betullah.. I don't have any big hutang...". I paid full my car, I paid full my cc, now I prefer cash, and i have no problem with it...". Best kan...

Alhamdullilah, wasyukurillah, dengan izin Allah.. 

This is the doa...

So, the conclusion is.. rajin- rajin lah berdoa ... :)

Wasalam. 

Bila buat kerja kat rumah...

Assalamualaikum

Since our baby sitter is on leave this week, I work from home this week. Mencabar betul! Sebab asik- asik nak tido especially now is Ramadhan (chewah.. salahkan puasa, padahal memang kaki tido..hehe). Also, I like to golek- golek direct bf ngan my baby. Lagi satu, pukul 11 lebih Hadif balik.. Ooohh.. macam- macam dia buat ye nanti yang boleh mencabar keimanan, tapi sabar aje laaaa...Anak tu anugerah dan tanggungjawab kita dari Allah..

I tried not to use buaian for my baby.. nak dia tido bawah aje. Yes, she can, tapi sekejap aje... So, this week, the buaian is officially ada kat tengah rumah (tapi bila petang tarik balik pergi belakang). Kat mana I do my work kat situ lah ada buaian. I bf her untill lalok nak tido then put her in the buaian.. enjut- enjut sikit, then terus tido... Macam ni la ghupanya ye

Buaian turun temurun dari anak pertama, termasuklah kain biru tu. So, takdelah pink kaler..

Dalam buaian menyanyi- nyanyi...

Selamat dah. Dia memang suka tido tergolek camtu. My MIL said "kemeklah hidung dia nanti". InsyaAllah taklah... heheee

Actually, my work station is at upstairs.. Means printer, scanner, desktop, and all my references stuff semua kat atas. Tapi tak sesuai to put the buaian over there..I have to put the buaian inside our room. Maakk aii.. that's really comfy. Dalam bilik tido, anak tido, maknya pun melayang tido. Bukak pulak aircond.. Aduiii, kuyu je mata. Jadi conclusionnya, buat aje le kat bawah.. a bit messy lah rumah. Tapi takpelah lepas tu kemaslah balik (hehee.. ye ke..?). So, lepas ada Amal Basyirah ni, work station tu macam layu aje, tak digunakan...kesian kan

Jadi, sekarang ibu kena chaiyok- chaiyok menulis sebelum abang Hadif balik!!!

Rice porridge for my baby ...

Assalamualaikum

Amal is now going to be 7 months, I have to consistently gives her rice porridge. Setakat bagi puree tu memanglah senang sangat kekdahnya, tapi sampai bila.. kesian dia...  Tengah fikir and cuba the easiest way of preparing the bubur and yet, still yummy and nutritious. And...

I am not gonna buy the slow cooker, penuh nanti my kitchen counter, 

and also 

I am not gonna boil them everyday. Tak sempat pagi- pagi nak buat..

and also 

I am not gonna give her the instant cereal... No..No..!!!

Hmm... I think, she just eat nasi yang masak untuk the family aje lah. Just blend the nasi. As for the ingredient  what i'll do is to prepare stok ikan bilis. Macam mana nak buat? Senang aje camni...

1. Ikan bilis tu kena rendam AT LEAST 1- 2 hours buang masinnya

2. Then sangaikan without oil. 

3. Blend

4. Tadaaa.. jadilah dia stok ikan bilis...

Sorry, semua gambar ni dari pakcik google. The source, I couldn't remember.. 

Nampak senangkan.. tapi sendiri pun tak buat lagi... ngehngehngehhh...

Maybe, what i'll do.. 

1. pagi- pagi I will steam a vegetables (pumpkin ke, carrot ke..bayam ke..)

2. Blend them with nasi

3. Taburkan stok bilis. 

4. Tada.. siap stok untuk hantar ke rumah baby sitter and for dinner. (Breakfast kalau tak sempat makan oat je leee..). 

For the storage pulak, I am thinking of these..

1. Baby cubes 4oz. I loves the practicality of baby cubes. Tapi cuma bentuknya, susah pulak nanti the baby sitter nak panaskan dlm warmer

2. Phillip Avents storage (10 pcs). This is ok depite very expensive. Cuma 10 pcs tu I guess is too much.  I won't do the porridge stock as much I stock the puree... 

3. MAM storage solutions (5pcs). 

I guess I will have this MAM sbb  it's just 5 pcs. Tapi nak kena tengok dulu. Nantilah curi- curi masa tengok benda ni live macam mana then I will decide..(Adui, nak pilih food storage pun mcm nak beli rumah ye... hehehee..).

Oat and Kurma for my baby...

Assalamualaikum and Selamat berpuasa everybody

Ok, this time, my entry adalah sangat lapuk. It's been 2 weeks actually since I've made oat and kurma for my baby Amal. Tapi tak sempat nak upload. So far, my baby loves this so much. Makan sampai licin. Maybe because its sweetness. And the best part, this recipe is the most simplest ever! Yet it's yummy and goooood. I just boil them together and then blend. See, how easy...  ^-^

Come, take a look how it's look like. 

Oat + kurma

two portions.

Oppss .. this is not about oat and kurma. This is one week puree stock for my baby. It's pumpkin and carrot puree.  Just warm them and add with EBM. Walla..my baby loves them..The baby cubes really save my day, easy and practical. 

My sooo attached baby...Amal Basyirah

Since she likes the kurma very much, yesterday this lazy mother made her rice + kurma + ebm. heheee... lagi senang. Masak nasi for the family buka puasa. Then I took about 1 scoop and blend with kurma. Sedap jugak...campurkan EBM, double sedap.. licin! Cuma bila I frozed them, the texture seems different. Not so fine anymore. Tapi habis lah jugak... ^-^
