Salam n Hi all!
I've got hay fever two nights ago and I'm still in recovering process. But I'm not feeling sad because of that as it will expiate minor sins that I've done before! Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah since HE still shows HIS mercy on me....Okay, back to our main topic yaa. For your guys information, the previous room has been taken ( so I regard it as it is not meant for us (^_^) ) BUT the agent had called me and said that there was another room, prettier n much more comfortable than the missed one. So I thought; it might be a second chance and probably the better option than before so we made an appointment to meet each other on the following day(Friday) at 11am. However,I really suffered a very high fever that night and couldnt make it on the next day. I was too weak to even get out from the bed and so, I texted the agent and canceled it.
But the room hunting was still ongoing though I was sick and today, someone has replied to my advert on muslim-ads. You can see the pictures attached (Owh sis,Im sorry if the pictures are copyrighted but this is totally for non-profit interest!). Very2 lovely,innit?! And hopefully it is as beautiful,clean and lovely as the pictures depict when I seeing them with my naked eyes soon!
She really offers me a very affordable price (like I stated in the advert!), 400GBP per month but the only problem is the refundable deposit is really unbelievable, 500GBP! I can see where does she get the guts to put such a high price for the deposit in the first place as the room and house condition are extremely nice, innit?!
Anyhow, if she is able to open a negotiatiation regarding the deposit,to at least make it to 2 weeks(yEAy!),3 weeks(so-so) or 4 weeks(which I, more or less to agree with...huhu), then what shall I say more?! Definitely, I will take you bebeh! hehehe...BUT it's the location that I shall consider as well. Have heard the road name but need to find it but the postcode is really near to my current location (mine: E1 0SD n her: E1 4LR)!
Urmmm,I'll let this one to ALLAH as well as I have tried to find them and it is now back to HIM to manage my next affair.
Don't stop praying for me yaaa...May ALLAH rewards you as well for your kind doing!
Whatever course we decide upon in life, there is always someone to tell us that we are wrong. But the loudest objections come from the voices of insecurity and past experience within ourselves. The best response is to cultivate a habit of quiet confidence and serenity, and to stay the course of our choosing.
These cartoons cynically describe the current situation...I've got them from my email box so you guys are free to circulate them...It's a global crisis nowadays...
Huhu..need to find a new room..more spacious as my hubby will come here this Sunday...!I started to search in Gumtree, looking for a double room with a very affordable price that offers for couple since last week and couldnt find the one that is near to my univ!
Luckily,two days ago I managed to get one and yesterday, a viewing appointment had been arranged. Below are the pictures that he sent me to my email. Yeah,very spacious and look soo 'decent' but when I saw it yesterday,the place was quite ages.Couldnt blame the pictures as they were taken in June,last year. And I was nearly hit by the broken door (balcony entrance)!But I don't mind bout that as long as he can ask someone else to repair it. However, the only problem was he asked me to move in on Wed,next week!I told him that I can only move out from current house either in the end of june or quicker than that, on 25th June.
After had a long discussion with my husband this morning, we decided to let go that room!O Allah, I'm asking to you that if that room is meant for us and is good for us, please do not let anyone become interested in that room until 18th of June so that we can move in a week after that! BUT If it is doesnt mean for us, please help us to find the one that is much much nicer than this one!
Dear my blog reader, do pray for me so that I can get a nice,cosy double room with an affordable price within 2 weeks from now yaaa?!
O0o0whh roses! I do love u!!!!ur smells are sooo inviting...yummy2! hehe
When we want to find or to get know more about Allah and Islam, HE will show the path to us. I believe this as it is happening to me now. Alhamdulillah, I born in the Islam family and proud to say that I am a muslim! But,the qualities of my ibadah are still in doubt. And YES, I know that I'm unable to measure them as there's no specific tool or advance equipment to evaluate, monitor and print out the quality results of each of my ibadah BUT yet, I am 101% confirm that there're still weaknesses here and there.
My friend invited me to join the Islamic Circle lecture y'day in Central London Mosque. At first,my niat was to get some fresh air since I wasn't going anywhere since the exam fever attacked but it turned out to be a wonderful and fascinating day I've ever felt!I'm not going to talk about the lecture during Islamic Circle but more than that, it's about akidah, the first principle of Rukun Islam:the Syahadah!
With a small group of sisters(3 Indonesian, 2 Malaysian, 1 Paki-born-Uganda and 1 Indian-born-France) and lead by Brother Hilal(Indon/Vietnam-born-S'pore), we headed to Sis Syafiqah's house in Edmonton Green as soon as the lecture finished. I didn't know the main reason why they wanted to go there in the first place. But then, a brief explanation from Kak Yati, made me understand a lil bit of the whole story.
While we were waiting for Bro Hilal to buy some snacks,Sis Nurul bought a beautiful flower while Sis Ary bought a scarf from Tie Rack. They said,"These will be given to Sis Syafiqah's mom as a gift from ALL of US". At the same time, Bro Hilal already prepared a PRAYER cd to be handed in to Syafiqah's mom. At that time,I thought,how these people use such a nice approach to help other people who are really in needs!
Sis Syafiqah's mom is at 63. Her name is Khatijah(a lovely name) but she rather calls herself as Betty and she used to be a Church goer! She said, she used to born as a muslim but I think due to her free-life here,she was really away from Islam. She said that her brother(lived in USA) who passed away 1.5 years ago, died as a Christian believer and all his sons and daughters are Christian followers as well! But ALLAH will give the hidayah to people he wants and so,it started with her second daughter, Sis Syafiqah. I can see how committed sis Syafiqah is in order to bring her mom back to Islam path! But not only her mom,but her older brother and sister as well!
An Asar prayer was performed after a short chat and was Imam by Bro Hilal. Aunt Khatijah was asked to perform the prayer together(jamaah) by following the steps though she only knew a bit bout it. A tazkirah then was delivered by Bro Hilal,it was short but so meaningful and all the points he addressed out were relevant to Aunt Khatijah and even to us as well! He advised Aunt Khatijah to start praying by doing the Subuh and Asar prays and don't wait to start them as we don't know when our time will come. Aunt Khatijah is really repent for her wrong doing before and I even cried a bit when she started to cry,regretting her past and her brothers who died without saying syahadah!
I do like the way Bro Hilal delivering his dakwah. He dressed so casual but yet clean and showing his genuine nawaitu to help others by wearing a white shirt. The sisters were filled with full enthusiasm to helping out Aunt Khatijah by teaching her how to pray and even developed a very good rapport with Aunt by giving her those gifts. And I see, how Islam unites people from many walks of life as I experienced in this small group of sisters,we come from every side of the world,we can be so close eventhough we just met each other and we friend without prejudice,double standard and far from racism! And yet,I really found the beauty in Islam here in London!
You see,to dakwah, it's no use if you use harsh way! Take a simple example, no one will ever listen if you criticise using improper words and tones! Therefore, soft and diplomatic is the winning route! The tendency to against the upright & morality and the akidah to be specific is depending upon who is your companion as well. That's why we need to at least try to find a righteous friend. And I think,the mistake that brings Aunt Khatijah far from the true path is because she failed to get a friend who upholds the Islam principles. I have no clues how the dakwah is being conducted in Malaysia and how do we supporting the muallaf(newcomer in Islam) to nourish Islam in their heart and in daily life BUT I do think that at least I can use the way of Bro Hilal and sisters conducting the dakwah and yet,they do it not because of money but because they WANT to do it!
Dear reader, let us pray together for Aunt Khatijah . She is no late, everyone is no late to come back to the real path as long as we still breathing the air! The beauty in Islam will prevail!

've been tagged for the 1st time ever since I became a blogger..LOL! And since I finished my last paper y'day, so I decided to answer Eno's tagged which is about the:: 7 Facts About Me ::. Keep on read 'em if in case u build an interest to know more 'bout me!(^_^)
Real Fact #1: My name is Nur Anida. Literally meaning; if I interpret it correctly in English:
Nur = the LighT
Anida = the Calling (take it from the arab root word Nida').
I still remembered when I was in primary school. I was eager to know the meaning of my name. When I asked my parents the meaning of it, they gave me a blank look, they were just telling me the Nur's meaning. It was my father who gave me the name and he said, he got the idea of giving me this name from a girl he met when he was still a bachelor (and that girl was definitely NOT his gurlfriend if in case, you ever crossed that in mind !!hehe).But I'm pretty sure that it must be the ilhAm from Allah!Very glad to know the meaning of it and vry proud to own this name as well!You see, there are not so many people who have this name or rather call themselves with this name, more or less, maybe it's around 1:1000 ratio in M'sian women's population!hahaha...pandai2 jew aku wat fakta numbers nii!
Real Fact #2: I'm a MARRIED woman now!Alhamdulillah!Am vry grateful to hv such a lovely, kind-hearted, funny and playful but sometimes strict and at other times, quite serious!He just knows how to act and respond at appropriate times!You own my heart by!Hahaha, okay-okay don't puke yaa..hey,if it's N0T ME who gives such compliments to my own husband than who else would be?!Obviously, it's a N0-N0x1000 from the girls outside okay?!I'm very protective of my own thing,ain't I?(^_^)
Real Fact #3: Okay,back to history again!This was an old story of mine. Back then in 2001, after the SPM result was announced. It was so happened that I got 2 offers to further my study abroad :
1. Germany under JPA scholarship (which I really badly wanted it!)
2. USA under MARA scholarship (which I didn't expect to get it due to the fact that, there were many other competent candidates, you know just how many brilliant MRSMians out there craving for this kind of opportunity!huhu)
sadly to say, I didn't go to either of them because of the family matter (Or should I say,HE just not yet approve it @ that time). Needless to say, I guess, it's my luck to be here now in London (Or should I say,HE now opens the chance for me this time round) which I never ever crossed in my brain to study in English country! You sure know wot i mean yaaa, look up those list again! NONE of them is UK ya..NONE!
Real Fact #4: Errmmm yeah..I'm ugly..Haha,that's damn true!Hey,don't compare me with you guys ya!I'm comparing myself with my other three sisters!Yeah I know, it's like I'm INSULTING myself each time I compare myself with other people but this is for fun okay and for the fact regarding myself?!hehe.However, to some extent, I'm one of my parents fav daughter yaa...hahaha. But as a matter of fact, I'm one kind of rebellious daughter type too! Believe me!Nevertheless, the true is,every one of us will always be the apple of their eyes 4eva!
Real Fact #5: I hv many friends, it's true but the real fact is I hardly to have the so-called best friend or the closest friend ever!I always on the move, changing from one place to another.Yeah, I know is like I'm giving an excuse for not having the closest one but indeed,I just find it difficult to maintain these communication contacts. However, once I found one, I will always keep in touch and say a word or two if I hv time to do so!It's not like I'm forgetting them,but the thing is, this friendship actually always blossom in my heart;tht's what I am! And another thing I found is that, I'll close to people who I think, I can put my trust on to, so once you break that trust, we still be friend but that's it, not more than that, just a typical friend. But sometimes, I misjudge people because some of them are wearing this 2-type face mask which I hardly recognise them! Hurmm, needless to say, I'm considering myself as a 'lone ranger' type who always in the 'invisible' mode, only pop up from nowhere when there's sumthing need to be settled down..hehe.
Real Fact #6: I'm no good at sport!I'm totally screwed up in this particular area!The best field that I've done quite good is in academic.haha.I wish I could be at least, a badminton player or a netball player in the national level BUT, obviously, they all just a numb wish!hehe. And for your additional information, I'm pretty bad at math actually...that's true!I couldn't make calculation on my head and when I do these simple math probs, not that simple laa but the one that got so many mathematical operations, believe me, I will take ages to complete them!Very slow,innit? And other thing is that, I just get confused between pull and push and left and right! I didn't know that I'm suffering this kind of problem but it is so happened that I just realised them when I'm here! I think my brain has some twisted wires in it that it makes it difficult to differentiate those two things!huuuuuuu
Real Fact #7: Wow, hv come this so far..the final one; I'm going to be 25 soon in a few months more!At this age, I'm craving for a soul filling much more than ever!I'm looking forward to practising a good and valuable deeds according to Islam ways which I hope will always doing them constantly!Give the very best try to be as an obedient and truthful wife and am trying to be a supportive and passionate mommy towards my future children!
okie dokie, ENO, I'm just done writing 7 facts bout me...the facts that just crossed my idle brain at the moment!hahaha...owhhh, I really need a few days break after being in paranoid state due to the exam fever!Urrmmmm, a holiday would be very nice,innit?!(^_^)

Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are
giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants
you to GIVE OVER 100% ..
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN,
look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge
will get you close, and Attitude
will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will
put you over the top!
P/S: Can you read 'em? LOL. Have no idea how to make it bigger than this. Any suggestions are welcome!
