Khasiat Kurma Ketika Hamil

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w
'Berilah makan buah kurma kepada isteri-isteri kamu yang hamil, kerana sekiranya wanita hamil itu memakan buah kurma, nescaya anak yang bakal dilahirkan itu menjadi anak yang penyabar, bersopan santun serta cerdas pemikirannya.'

Kebaikan memakan kurma ketika mengandung dan bersalin adalah amat baik sekali jika diamalkan kerana ini akan memudahkan bersalin nanti. Semasa bayi dilahirkan, buah kurma juga dicalitkan sedikit di lelangit bayi.

Ingat tak kisah di mana Maryam hanya memakan buah kurma semasa melahirkan nabi Isa a.s. Buah kurma tidak mengandungi gula yang merbahayakan malah ia merupakan makanan Rasullullah s.a.w.

Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda:
'Rumah yang tidak ada kurma di dalamnya, akan menyebabkan penghuninya kurang sihat.'
Berilah makanan kurma pada wanita yang hamil sebelum dia melahirkan, sebab yang demikian itu akan menyebabkan anaknya menjadi seorang yang tabah dan bertakwa (bersih hatinya).'

Abu Abdillah a.s. bersabda:
'Buah kurma adalah salah satu buah yang berasal dari syurga dan dapat mensirnakan pengaruh sihir.'

Abu Abdillah a.s. bersabda:
'Orang yang memakan 7 buah kurma yang baik sebelum sarapan, maka pada hari itu dia tidak akan tertimpa racun, sihir dan tidak diganggu setan.'

Imam Ja'far Ash-Shadiq a..s. bersabda:
'Barang siapa memakan 7 buah kurma yang baik, maka cacing-cacing yang ada di perutnya akan mati.'

French Open 2008

Well, I am not really a big fan of tennis sport. In fact, when I spend my boring and dull evening watching Eurosport channel almost every day here since my wife return back home, I start to enjoy the game especially the French Open was held in the middle and now towards to the end where final tournament between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will take places tomorrow! I believe this tournament level is equivalent to the World Cup especially for those who really love and play tennis. I can imagine how big and grand this tournament for the tennis lovers. Frankly speaking, I have never playing tennis before but I used to watch my brother playing tennis with his friends quite some time ago. That’s all. I have no determination or interest at all. Hmm. But when I heard about French Open, I realized that this is not just about a game. It is one of the most prestigious events in tennis, and it has the widest worldwide broadcasting and audience of all events in this sport. Because of the slow playing surface and the five-set men's singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, the event is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world. The French Open is a major tennis tournament held over two weeks between mid-May and early June in Paris, France, at the Stade de Roland Garros. It is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world. Not only tennis fans mark their calendars when Rafael Nadal’s and Roger Federer’s career paths collide in a final here in Roland Garros 2008. I, myself do, too. Hehe. Tomorrow, I will be going to see them in final and try to be part of the game!

Alhamdulillah, it works!

Yay, Finally !!!!

Alhamdulillah. It was really a good news from my wife. Last week, she told me that she missed her period and it was absolutely an abnormal situation for her. Hmm. I have been thinking about it but anyway, stress and illness would also cause a period to be delayed right? Yeah, I know a bit about that. Then, she also claimed that she feels something different and she’s trying hardly to figure out what are the signs of pregnancy or pregnancy symptoms from her friends. Then, I am start thinking of the days we spent here for the one month. Hehe. There was a moment she really exhausted and lack of energy. At the time as I could remembered, she just lay down on the bed and she told me that she don’t want to go anywhere for the day and finally we just spent our time freely in the room. As I am thinking about it, maybe it is due to the beginning of the conception. Yeah, I got to know about that from the internet and please don’t expect me knows everything in details especially in this pregnancy matter. Hehe. Then, she told me that one of her friends suggests her to try a home pregnancy test. Alhamdulillah. The test was positive. When I heard about this good news, I was very happy and excited. Then, a large part of me starts thinking that I will have an absolutely another big responsibility to deal with. Of course, I am going to be a daddy sooner. InsyaAllah. Amin. My brain is once again telling me that I must get prepared physically and emotionally before the newborn’s arrival. Now, it is the time to keep focus especially for my wife by changing her normal daily meals which I think not so nutritious as well as her bad habit to drink less water. This morning, I told my wife to make an appointment with a doctor to re-confirm the pregnancy. Yeah, we can't rely 100% of the home pregnancy test and it is better to seek for doctor advice. Then, if it confirmed, she can starts thinking and studying about the healthy eating guidelines for pregnant women. Of course, healthy eating is very important not for pregnant women only but also for their unborn babies. There are many nutritional issues to consider ensuring good health of both the woman and baby, during and after pregnancy. Anyway, I will not leave the whole burden to my wife alone. I will also need to do some homework on the related issues especially on the eating habits during pregnancy, meals to be avoided, vitamins or minerals supplement required, or maybe some early physical preparation for the baby’s arrival and of course I will start thinking about a good name now!

Simply Me

I am a happy man and married with a woman I loved. I know my wife loves me too. She told me. Hehe. But, how about the others? Friends? Officemates? Did they like me? Hmm. Now, I am just thinking about myself. How do people judge me when they know me? Am I a good friend? There are many words can describe about myself. If you ask my parents about me, they would mainly describe me as a serious person. Sometimes, they claim that I can be simply too sensitive and extremely unpredictable. I wouldn’t hesitate to agree with each of the descriptive traits since they should know me better than I am. They brought me to life and gave me a good name as well as raised me up from the day I was born until I got married. The first word most people I know would use to describe myself is friendly and easy going. Hehe. Sounds like promoting myself but anyway, I don’t care. I don’t give a damn. Just to be frank for myself. Hopefully, for those who know me pretty well, just give me some feedback about myself so that I will take an appropriate action if necessary to change my habit or behavior positively. For those who want to be my friend or going to know me a bit deeper, please keep reading this blog and lastly for those who don’t have any interest to know me at all, why you still reading this article? Blah la. Hehe. OK, back to the subject. In all my past experiences, I have learned that it pays off to be friendly. Of course we should be friendly to others especially living in this demanding social community. Besides, it will reflect our overall performance at work and promotes the involvement in any related area that we are supposed to jump in. I used to work in a fast food restaurant quite some time ago and it was basically a good exposure to me about this life. I have learned that life is volatile and full of surprise. I have also learned that we cannot do everything by ourselves and we cannot expect perfection and excellence from others. In fact, we have to bear in mind that nobody is perfect and no matter smart or “big” you are, we must be considerable with full of respect to others. Being friendly is an important trait to have in a life. We are social human being. We need others. Sometimes, we cannot rely 100% commitments by ourselves. That’s why we have been lectured about teamwork so many times. Besides, we should also try to be more optimistic and put a high dependence to others in the team. Actually, as I am writing this article, I remember my wife told me that most of her colleagues that used to work in a group with me during those days in university claimed that I am just too perfectionist towards the job assigned. I want everything in a good order and normally I was the lead for the group and I will distribute the tasks to others by expecting some perfect effort to be done by them. Looking back, there are many mistakes or I would rather rephrase it as a misunderstanding about this life happened to me. Now, after almost three years in employment with a professional services company, I know exactly what is the true meaning and importance of being friendly and being tolerated. Since then, I am getting to know more people with different level and easily get connected to them. I have a very good relationship with my colleagues in the office especially within my project. Positively, it will be much easier for me to work with them and because of that, I was awarded more responsibilities. This is the critical part which I think the most important for my self-development. Once they know that you are such a dependable worker, they will continuously feed you with a work until to some extent you won’t feel to work anymore!

I hate being alone

It’s 8 pm. The bright sky with the wind blowing gently really refreshes and makes me relieve. As I opened the door and benefit the fresh air at the balcony, I saw a quite number of small kids still playing energetically in the garden in front of my hotel. Sometimes their behaviors tend very funny. They are so cute. Some of them love to run and some just prefer to remain silence by sitting on the ground while looked around innocently. I really love such environment. Peaceful and alive. Actually, I already had my dinner. Just a simple meal cooked by myself. After done with the dinner and clean up everything, I get online to chat with my wife. At the moment she was sleeping. Of course, it is 2 am in Malaysia. Besides, I am sure she was very exhausted today because of the jet lag (yeah, she just arrived yesterday!), struggle to settle out some issues and have to drive back from KL to JB alone! Pity her.

As I look back on all that’s happened to her, I feel very sad as she has to do everything by her own. I know that she understands the situation but frankly speaking when I am thinking about it, I feel very bad. I don’t know exactly what should I do right now. I know that distances will never separate our hearts which really care but it can limits and may be to some extent can demolish our dream in the future. Within this time frame, I would not be able to be with my wife where she needs me the most to solve some issues. Actually, there is no big issue here but I can feel that something is missing. We need to be together. Of course. I really miss my wife so badly. It is not easy for me to live here without her especially there are something that needs to be done by two of us. But whenever I start feeling sad because I miss her, I will remind myself how lucky I am to have someone so special to miss. And how blessed I am to have such an independent and dependable woman in my life.

I still remember when she was here, my life was just too perfect. She really completes me. Then, I questioned myself. Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? Huhu. Actually, I just want to be a normal husband. Literally, to be a good husband, have a big family, living in a comfortable house with a small garden, have a good and secured job for the long term and definitely stay together under one roof and close to the loved ones. I hope I am not dreaming. I hope my wish will become truth. InsyaAllah. When, I recalled back those days when my wife was here, I am very happy to go back from work early in the evening. I know I should be grateful for this golden opportunity or can be considered as a brilliant working exposure in a lifetime, but should I put the work as my priority? No, I don’t think so. I love my family. Family must comes first. The past experience may be gone forever, and whatever the future holds, our true love will last forever.

She fits me!

Alhamdulillah, she reached home safely. She reached KLIA at 6.30 am (local time) and at the moment I was sleeping. Thanks to MAS for bringing my wife back securely. Now, she knows how far we were distanced and 14 hours journey can simply gives her a painful experience especially she was alone. It is rather can be even worse if she is seated next to a stranger with banyak songeh habits. Luckily, it was not happened to my wife. Thanks to my wife for spending and sharing a great time with me and let go her one month salary just to be with me (she took unpaid leaves for one month). There is nothing special for the day without her and in the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words from her before I nod off. Seriously, I will never forget the days spent together with my lovely wife. I really miss her cares, her smile, her soft-spoken, her voices, her cook and absolutely her true love. Huhu. Now, she is at my parent’s house having a nice dinner cooked by my mom. She will going back to JB most probably tomorrow and will resume a normal work on the following day. Take care sayang.

It's hard to say good bye

Time flown very fast. I can’t believe it has been one month I have had spent a wonderful time with my wife. Now is the time to go back to reality and undergo my normal daily routine. I will be alone again for this upcoming two months before going back for 1 week break in Malaysia. Huhu. Anyway, I was very lucky enough to be here for the long term assignment and got a chance to spend the spring holidays with my wife. It is priceless to me. I will crazily miss her so much and those sweet memories within one month spent together here will be remained in my heart.

This morning, she woke up very early in the morning. I realized that she was getting ready and doing her final packing before she wakes me up. At 7.00 am, we were ready. I make a phone call to the receptionist on duty to double check with him about the taxi. He said the taxi will be here at 7.30 am as per my request yesterday. We went down to the lobby and surprisingly there were too many Indians with their big luggage crammed the spacious lobby area. We walked through the crowded and upon reaching the reception counter, the taxi driver was already there.

We reached CDG Airport around 8.00 am. Since the check-in counter was not opened at the time, we decided to have a light breakfast at the McD. She just wants to drink a cup of coffee. Same to me but I have an additional McEgg. Hehe.

After we had our breakfast, we straight away heading to the Hall 5 and by the time, the counter still not opened. Actually, I have been informed earlier that the counter will be opened at 9.00 am and 5 minutes before that, I could see a group of Indonesian and few couples of French start to line up in front of the MAS counter. At the moment, we were already stood in the first line. Upon check in, I was getting annoyed with the officer on duty as she was busy with her hand phone while doing her work and she impolitely asked me to take out the previous luggage tag by myself. Then, I slammed her back by saying that I am not going to do anything and I told her that she supposed to do that. Actually, there is no big issue here, but the thing is, she must learn to be polite and patient especially involved in a public services. Dowh.

Done with check in, we went up to the boarding gate where the last point for me to be with my wife. Huhu. An hour later, it is the time for me to say goodbye. I said to my wife to give me a call after she reaches at Gate 41. Frankly speaking, I was so worried about her since she was alone. Alhamdulillah. She was just fine. Now, it’s been 6 hours she was onboard. 8 hours to go. Hopefully she will reach home safely. Amin.
