Abg Shahiddin fetched me from NUS today with his motorbike..

On the way home, we arrived at this traffic junction. There was this guy beside us who saw us and suddenly laughed. I was like hmmmmm, okay maybe there's something funny with the motorcycle or me or my brother.. I felt a bit weird also.

Then at farrer road, nearing bukit timah, my brother stopped at a bus stop and I was like.. okay, something's wrong with the motorbike.. Then guess what? He went to the back, took out a helmet and gave it to me. I hadn't worn a helmet all this while!!!! Hahahahahaha! Forgetfulness to a whole new level. No wonder the wind was exceptionally strong today. Hahaha.. I hope we dont get fined or something :P

I woke up today for Sahur still in my telekung in the living room.. Haha, knocked out after my terawih prayers. Housewife training yesterday FAIL. hahahaha. It was fun though.. So kecoh! And I still wonder how my brothers and I can take hours to hang the curtains while me and my bibik always manage to complete it within less than an hour. Note the common factor in this equation. So can't be my fault right? :P

And I dont know why my siblings keep teasing me when my brother's the one getting married next year! tsk tsk.

Ramadhan's ending.. May we all get to meet Ramadhan again next year insyaAllah :)

When Ayatullah Jawadi-Amuli was asked why only men have been given the responsibility of prophet-hood, he replied “Because women have been given motherhood, which is equivalent to prophet-hood".

MasyaAllah..

How does a blood pressure gauge (sphygmomanometer) work? What exactly is blood pressure?

Your heart is an amazing pump. It works reliably for decades, and it safely pumps blood -- one of the trickiest liquids around. In the same way, your blood vessels are pipes. They take the output from the pump and distribute it throughout the body. A blood pressure gauge is simply a way to measure the performance of the pump and the pipes.

There are two numbers in a blood pressure reading: systolic and diastolic. For example, a typical reading might be 120/80. When the doctor puts the cuff around your arm and pumps it up, what he/she is doing is cutting off the blood flow with the pressure exerted by the cuff. As the pressure in the cuff is released, blood starts flowing again and the doctor can hear the flow in the stethoscope. The number at which blood starts flowing (120) is the measure of the maximum output pressure of the heart (systolic reading). The doctor continues releasing the pressure on the cuff and listens until there is no sound. That number (80) indicates the pressure in the system when the heart is relaxed (diastolic reading).

If the numbers are too high, it means that the heart is having to work too hard because of restrictions in the pipes. Certain hormones, like adrenaline (which is released when you are under stress) cause certain blood vessels to constrict, and this raises your blood pressure -- if you are under constant stress, your blood pressure goes up, and it means that your heart has to work too hard. Other things that can increase the blood pressure include deposits in the pipes and a loss of elasticity as the blood vessels age.

High blood pressure can cause the heart to fail (from working too hard), or it can cause kidney failure (from too much pressure).

This semester's lab have been pretty interesting I must say (do note that interesting is NOT equals to easy). Haha

During chemistry lab, we did crystallisation. I like how the crystals look like :) The process was long and tedious. Plus I seriously think chemistry experiments waste A LOT of water. Which kinda make me feel guilty. I mean multiply that amount by 400+ people taking the module and masyaAllah..


Today's biotransport lab was another mind-boggling task. We were given a formula sheet and a list of things we had to measure BUT no lab manual. Meaning we had to figure out how to take those measurements in the most accurate way possible. My group practically stoned and thought hard the first hour. We were determined to get the best possible method but I dont think we did so in the end. Haha. Pretty amusing though my group. Very dynamic I feel. Everyone has such colourful personality :) Alhamdulillah..

Genius 13-Year-Old Has a Solar Power Breakthrough

When I was 13 I was smoking cigarettes I'd found on the ground and playing Super Nintendo like it was my life's work. This kid discovered a way to draw 20-50% more power from solar cells. He is way cooler.

7th grader Aidan Dwyer was walking in the woods during the winter, and looking up, he noticed something about the bare branches above him. They didn't appear to be growing randomly. So he took some measurements of the angles of the branches, crunched some numbers, and wouldn't you know it, he found that the ubiquitous Fibonacci Sequence was behind it all. He suspected there was a reason behind this. That trees were using this pattern to gather more light.

So he did an experiment. Using the same number of solar cells, he built two working models. One was a traditional, flat array will all of the panels on a single plane. The other used the Fibonacci Sequence to create the same spiraled pattern he observed in the trees. The results? The little man himself reports:

The tree design made 20% more electricity and collected 2 1/2 more hours of sunlight during the day. But the most interesting results were in December, when the Sun was at its lowest point in the sky. The tree design made 50% more electricity, and the collection time of sunlight was up to 50% longer!"

Did you hear that? All of the smart-guys in the country who spent their time trying to make solar power more efficient were just outsmarted by a thirteen-year-old and a tree. You can read Aiden's extremely well-written full-report here. Aiden just won the Young Naturalist Award from the American Museum of Natural History. It's kids like this that make me think that just maaaaaybe this country isn't so screwed after all. [American Museum of Natural History via Inhabitat]

-Brent Rose

wow, masyaAllah.. lest we forget, Allah was the one who created his brain and the tree :)

ALHAMDULILLAH ALHAMDULILLAH ALHAMDULILLAH!

Haslina is happy for many reasons today :)

CooKITA for East AfriKAMI has raised $680 so far! Not inclusive of the orders. Alhamdulillah! Hopefully we will raise more funds during this upcoming MS iftar, insyaAllah.. Thank you to all who has helped us. Jazakallah khair! :D

Haslina's Baking Factory produced honey cornflakes today! Haha, 5 Kellog's cornflakes boxes altogether! For East AfriKami and mum also since I dont think I'll be able to help her during weekends..Pretty tiring :) Luckily bibik was there to help me out. I realise baking requires a lot of multi-tasking. Putting the cornflakes into the paper cup, checking for those in the oven as well as melting the butter to make the next batch. So phew! Alhamdulillah... :D



And I'm pretty inspired by my bibik. She's been with us for 16 years and only goes back once every two years.. She has her mum, her husband, three kids and her grandson back at Indonesia. She tells me about them often so I suppose she really misses them a lot. But she doesn't show it. She's really a strong woman.. Her sacrifice is really masyaAllah :) She's very busy cleaning up the whole house and ironing our clothes(which takes hours cos of the sheer amount of people there are) yet she finds time to read the Quran and her other agama books. Every sunday, she goes for ngaji classes. That's what I call cool! :D

May Allah bless her and her family, insyaAllah :)

A video which Ustazah shared during Sunday class. Truly beneficial :)



"Because no one on the face of the earth has done you any favour more and better than the Messenger of Allah s.a.w"
MasyaAllah..

I have a new mission. To say good morning or good afternoon to sweepers or gardeners I see in school! haha cos I feel pretty cheerful in the morning so I feel like greeting people. Today I tried it out but the gardener didnt reply me. Hmmmm, maybe he didnt hear me. Okay is it weird if I do that? Heh..

Qiyam cum iftar session on Friday and Saturday was a fruitful one :) I made new friends! I think they are super cute and funny. Esp Arini! But no thanks for teasing me all the time eh. Hahaha. It was spiritually uplifting also so alhamdulillah :) APEX session was fun as well.. Got to meet my last year mentees and hug them!! Oh man I miss them so much! Great to see they are all doing well. Alhamdulillah..plus diyanah (my mentee) has improved tremendously I felt :D
met syaz after such a long time!! <3

The GPac! students were so nice! They bought all the East AfriKami cookies! It was sold out within seconds! Alhamdulillah, may Allah bless them. They are such nice people ah and I wished there was more help given to them in terms of their studies. They deserve to do well.. Allah knows best :)

Then there was PKKHB iftar at my house. Super kecoh and the house was super packed!!! But it's always nice being around family and the kids especially. So cute la they all :D

All our shoes blocked the corridor! Haha

Say hello to Batrisyah(I think that's how her name is spelt)! She's so cute. Once I smiled at her from far and she smiled back.. Hehe. And she started to move her head left and right in that hypnotising gesture to make me do the same.. Hahaha.. Cute betul! <3

So today we found out about this project which we have to carry out throughout this whole semester for our BN2202 module..

Suggested topics:
1.Design of a user-friendly blood withdrawal device to vacutainer to remove 10 ml
2.Design and analysis of blood sample delivery in a microfluidic system.
3.Separation of erythrocytes from plasma
4.Selective separation of old erythrocytes from young erythrocytes
5.Separation of platelet-rich plasma from whole blood
6.No-pain glucose measurement device
7.Safe IV injection system
8.any new ideas?

I think all of us freaked out, especially me. 1)I didn't know anything (at all) about most of the suggested topics, much less being able to come up with a design for a device related to them. 2)I didnt know who my other five group members were. I only know their names but I have no idea how they look like. And me with my quirky personality, I seriously hope they won't find me weird. 3)(and this is a huge part) because the proposal is due on 29th august which is just one day before raya!!!

There was this other module too which dealt with a lot of complex numbers, mathematical formulas and signals data which seems very alien to me.

I need to continue blogging to keep up my level of English. Haha cos at engineering, apparently, lecturers do not care at all about it. Everything's spoken in broken English. I need to talk to more arts' students! haha.. if not I will have trouble with my USP mods next sem..

I have to work doubly hard this semester. Shall doa banyak this Ramadhan. May Allah guide me through this semester, insyaAllah!

:P

My mum used to sing this to me when I was little to put me to sleep. MasyaAllah, learnt from Sunday class that it has such a wonderful meaning! Will definitely use it as a lullaby for my kids in the future insyaAllah :)

Hasbi Rabbi Jalallah
Ma fi qalbi Rayrullah
Noorul Muhammad Solallah
La Ila ha ilallah

(Translation)
My Lord is enough for me, Glory be to Allah
There is none in my heart except for Allah
The Light of our prophet Muhammad s.a.w, Selawat upon him
There is no other God except Allah

"O Allah! You have granted me the honor and privilege of talking to you directly, have you given this privilege to any other person?

Allah Ta'ala replied, O!! Moosa during the last period, I am going to send an Ummat, who will be the Ummat of Mohammed (SAW) with dry lips, parched tongues, emaciated body with eyes sunken deep into their sockets, with livers dry and stomachs suffering the pangs of hunger, who will call out to me (in dua), they will be much much closer to me than you.
O Moosa! while you speak to me there are 70000 veils between you and me but at the time of iftaar there will not be a single veil between me and the fasting Ummati of Mohammed (SAW)

O! Moosa, I have taken upon myself the responsibility that at the time of iftaar I will never refuse the dua of a fasting person."

MasyaAllah.. Look at the amount of Mercy Allah has on us :')

"A woman's beauty is not in her features, the shade of her skin, or her possessions. True beauty is in her heart, in her Imaan, her Taqwa, and love for her Deen."

Something to reflect: Am I then truly beautiful?

I was feeling down a few hours ago but alhamdulillah, Allah made me realise the one gift that He has blessed me with my whole entire life - my family :)

I think I say this every year each time Ramadhan arrives. That one of the things I look forward to in this holy month is breaking fast with my family. It's one of those simplest joys in life which I would never trade for anything in this world :) Everyone was so happy just now and I laughed till my stomach was rather in pain. Epic acts by Zalifa and my mum! Hahaha.. Come to think of it, this will be the last year Abg Shahiddin will break fast with us. Soon, everyone will have their own families and the present will become sweet memories of the past. MasyaAllah :)

Can't thank Allah enough for this wonderful blessing. Alhamdulillah.

Finally finished the fifth book of the series! Alhamdulillah. I was hoping I would finish it before school starts. I think I got hooked on to the last part so much so that I slept at 12 last night and didnt sleep back after subuh today.. all the way till now, just to read the book! Hehe. It's an awesome book and again, the ending is just genius!

There was this excerpt from the book, which I felt was worth sharing :)

'Ibrahim Adham berkata, ada 10 tanda hati yang mati iaitu:

1. Mengaku kenal ALLAH S.W.T, tetapi tidak menunaikan hak-Nya.
2. Mengaku cinta kepada Rasulullah S.A.W, tetapi mengabaikan sunnah baginda.
3. Membaca al-Quran tetapi tidak beramal dengan hukumnya.
4. Memakan nikmat ALLAH, tetapi tidak mensyukuri pemberian-Nya.
5. Mengaku syaitan itu musuh, tetapi tidak berjuang menentangnya.
6. Mengaku adanya nikmat Syurga, tetapi tidak beramal untuk mendapatkannya.
7. Mengaku adanya seksa Neraka, tetapi tidak berusaha untuk menjauhinya.
8. Mengaku kematian pasti tiba bagi setiap jiwa, tetapi masih tidak bersedia untuknya.
9. Menyibukkan diri membuka keaiban orang lain, tetapi lupa akan keaiban diri sendiri.
10. Menghantar dan menguburkan jenazah saudara, tetapi tidak mengambil pengajaran daripadanya.

Untuk hidupkan hati, dinasihati agar mendirikan solat, memberi sedekah dan kerap berzikir :)

MasyaAllah...Ya Allah, hidupkanlah hatiku agar sentiasa dekat padaMu...

Meaningful post from my cousin's blog(currently doing a PHD in biomedical engineering).. MasyaAllah!

Kasih ibu

Sepanjang mengandung 9 bulan, pada saya bukanlah sesuatu yg mudah. Muntah, loya, lemah, sakit sana sini (tak caya boleh tanya kat Bad(suami cousin saya)), hanya doa semoga Allah mengampunkan segala dosa saya dgn kesukaran itu sahaja yg membuatkan saya bersabar hingga ke akhirnya.

Ramai orang bertanya, sakitkah ketika melahirkan anak? Jawapan saya, tak semua orang mempunyai pengalaman yg sama, ada orang mudah, ada yg susah. Agaknya, orang yg banyak dosa seperti saya sakitnya tentu lebih sebagai kiffarah (pembalasan) dosa. Sakitnya seakan hampir putus nyawa saya dibuatnya (sebab saya tak ambik pain killers, hanya guna gas utk mengkhayalkan). Saya menggunakankan segala kudrat dan tenaga yg ada utk melahirkan.

Ketika anak selamat dilahirkan, dia dipindahkan straight ke atas tummy saya (tanpa dibersihkan terlebih dahulu sementara menunggu uri keluar), saya melihat dia,...... sayu... syahdu... syukur sebanyaknya kepada Allah kerana mengurniakan anak yg begitu sempurna sifatnya, sungguh cantik pada mata saya, hilang segala kesakitan yg saya alami, hilang segala rasa kesusahan sepanjang 9 bulan yg lalu, sungguh! Saya terus rasa jatuh cinta kepada anak yg selama dia berada di dalam perut saya, saya selalu berbual dgnnya..... "Assalamu'alaikum baby.. akhirnya kita ketemu jua..." Bad masa saat itu berjurai air matanya.. air mata gembira dan kesyukuran. "Allahu Akbar... Allahu Akbar.." pada telinga bayi.

Selepas bayi lahir juga bukan sesuatu yg mudah. Minggu2 awal, baby akan bangun setiap jam untuk menyusu pada waktu malam. So.. kena banyak2 bersabar mengorbankan waktu tidur, itu tak termasuk kalau2 ibu2 yg ada masalah kesakitan lain. Masa saya lahirkan Lala, saya terpaksa melalui operation sebab Lala menyonsang. So setiap kali saya cuba bangun, perut rasa sangat sakit, batuk pun rasa sakit. Ada juga saya dgr drp sahabat2 saya yg mengalami kesakitan yg amat masa menyusukan anak, tetapi mereka bersabar.. hanya kerana.. ingin memberikan yg terbaik untuk anak mereka.

Masa Bad tgk saya dgn segala susah payahnya, dia bertanya,"kenapa Allah buat perempuan rasa semua sakit ye? sakit mengandung, bersalin, menyusu? Kenapa bukan lelaki, kaum yg kuat merasa semua tu ye?" Allah Maha 'Adil mungkin di sebalik kelemahan kaum ibu ada kekuatan yg sangat tinggi. Pada saya kekuatan itu adalah pada perasaan kasihnya. Allah mengurniakan secebis daripada sifat kasih sayangNya kepada para ibu untuk mengasihi anak mereka.

Kebelakangan ini, banyak sangat kisah bayi di buang yg saya baca drp suratkhabar Msia. Saya tidak tahu apa yg sedang di fikirkan oleh ibu yg susah2 sakit melahirkan anak berseorangan (sungguh kuat, kagum!) lantas membuangnya tanpa ada perasaan kasihan? Sedang haiwan pun tahu menyanyangi anak. Mungkin perasaan malu dan takut melebihi perasaan kasihnya pada ketika itu..

Lately, saya asyik terfikir beberapa kisah daripada Al Quran dgn satu sudut yg lain; drp perasaan seorang ibu. Saya teringat tentang kisah Siti Hajar dan kisah ibu kepada nabi Musa a.s.

Bayangkan sahaja bagaimana yg Siti Hajar alami, anaknya kehausan di sebuah padang pasir yg gersang, bagaimana beliau berlari ulang alik kesana sini sehingga 7 kali, saya dapat bayangkan kepanikan beliau. Saya respek betul dgn Siti Hajar, lansung tidak komplen di tinggalkan suami berdua dgn anak kat padang pasir kering kontang, dah tu Nabi Ibrahim tak balik lama, Siti Hajar boleh terus didik Nabi Ismail supaya menghormati ayahnya, i.e tidak lansung memburuk2kan beliau, sampai tahap Nabi Ibrahim nak sembelih pun Nabi Ismail taat.. begitu canggih sekali didikan Siti Hajar pada anaknya, and sampai Ismail boleh taat bila Nabi Ibrahim yg jarang2 kembali suruh dia menceraikan isterinya.... Saya respek sungguh dgn Siti Hajar!

Saya terfikir apakah perasaan ibu nabi Musa a.s ketika menghanyutkan nabi Musa dia dalam bakul...hanya kerana ingin menyelamatkan Musa daripada di bunuh Firaun derhaka. I mean, seorang ibu yg baru melahirkan anak yg sgt disayanginya.. nak buang ke laut? Bagaimanakah perasaan seorang ibu yg beriman ketika menyerahkan segala kepercayaannya kpd Allah SWT.

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ ۖ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحْزَنِي ۖ إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Dan Kami ilhamkan kepada ibu Musa: Susukanlah dia; dalam pada itu, jika engkau takutkan sesuatu bahaya mengenainya (dari angkara Firaun), maka (letakkanlah dia di dalam peti dan) lepaskanlah dia ke laut dan janganlah engkau merasa bimbang dan jangan pula berdukacita; sesungguhnya Kami akan mengembalikannya kepadamu, dan Kami akan melantiknya menjadi salah seorang dari Rasul-rasul Kami. (Al Qasas:7)

Bayangkan perasaan Ibu Musa yg mendapat 2 sekali berita gembira dalam satu ayat; tentang janji Allah utk mengembalikan kembali Musa kepadanya, dan mengangkat Musa menjadi salah seorang Rasul. So, ibu nabi Musa menyuruh sorang lagi anaknya, yakni kakak nabi Musa utk mengekori bakul itu.

وَقَالَتْ لِأُخْتِهِ قُصِّيهِ ۖ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهِ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Dan berkatalah dia kepada kakak Musa: Pergilah cari khabar beritanya. (Maka pergilah ia) lalu dilihatnya dari jauh sedang orang ramai tidak menyedarinya. (Al Qasas:11)

Rancangan Allah mengatasi rancangan manusia, siapakah sangka rancangan Firaun utk membunuh semua anak2 lelaki yg lahir di negerinya, tetapi anak yg dimaksudkan di hanyutkan sendiri di dalam istananya.

وَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِي وَلَكَ ۖ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Dan (ketika melihat kanak-kanak itu) berkatalah isteri Firaun: (Semoga ia menjadi) cahaya mata bagiku dan bagimu; janganlah kamu membunuhnya; mudah-mudahan dia berguna kepada kita atau kita jadikan dia anak. Padahal mereka tidak menyedari (kesudahannya). (Al Qasas:9)

Wanita itu adalah Asiah, seorang wanita beriman yg Firaun tertarik kpdnya kerana kecantikannya, yg mengugut akan membunuh ahli keluarganya sekiranya tidak mengahwini Firaun. Asiah berjaya melembutkan hati Firaun yg keras...Firaun menjawab,"cahaya mata bagimu dan bukan bagiku..!"

Sementara itu, ibu nabi musa merasa risau. Tetapi kerana yakin dgn janji Allah maka beliau bersabar.

وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَارِغًا ۖ إِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ رَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Dan (sepeninggalannya) menjadilah hati ibu Musa kosong; sesungguhnya dia nyaris-nyaris menyatakan perihal anaknya itu dengan berterus-terang jika tidaklah Kami kuatkan hatinya (dengan perasaan sabar dan tenang tenteram), supaya tetaplah dia dari orang-orang yang percaya (akan janji Allah). (Al Qasas: 10)

Sementara itu, Nabi Musa tidak mahu menghisap mana2 susu drp wanita lain.

وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ نَاصِحُونَ

Dan Kami jadikan dia dari mulanya enggan menyusu kepada perempuan-perempuan yang hendak menyusukannya; (melihatkan halnya itu), kakaknya berkata: Mahukah, aku tunjukkan kamu kepada penduduk sebuah rumah yang dapat memeliharanya untuk kamu, serta mereka tulus ikhlas kepadanya?(Al Qasas: 12)

فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Maka (dengan jalan itu) Kami kembalikan dia kepada ibunya supaya tenang tenteram hatinya dan tidak berdukacita (disebabkan bercerai dengannya) dan supaya ia mengetahui bahawa janji Allah (untuk menyelamatkannya) adalah benar; akan tetapi kebanyakan mereka tidak mengetahui (yang demikian itu). (Al Qasas: 13)

Tujuan saya berkongsi kisah ibu kpd Nabi Musa ini adalah tidak lain adalah kerana, kefahaman saya yg lain membaca kisahnya setelah saya menjadi seorang ibu. Saya kini faham kerisauan seorang ibu yg berpisah dgn anak yg baru dilahirkan, bukan sekadar berpisah biasa, tetapi menghanyutkan dalam bakul menyusuri sungai dgn keadaan sekiranya di ketahui oleh orang2 maka ianya akan di bunuh. Saya merasa kagum dgn keimanan dan keyakinan ibu kpd nabi Musa.

Mereka ini adalah ibu2 yg istimewa. Semoga kisah dan teladan yg ditunjukkan mereka boleh saya contohi. Semoga saya termasuk dalam golongan ibu2 yg istimewa dan mithali, amin..

I had nothing much to do at home so I decided to bake!! Baking solo was really tiring, I was practically laying on my sofa as soon as I was done.. Tu pun belum clean up lagi. Hahaha. It was fun though :) I dont mind baking for a career. Tapi sungguh buang duit eh, ayah dah mahal2 bayar for me to be an engineer..Hmmmmm. Mungkin bila stress daripada kerja balik baru bake..

My icing for the cupcake tak menjadi sangat but I just selawat banyak-banyak and hopefully, it'll turn out okay. I wanted to make purple icing!! Tapi takde blue colouring :( Maybe next time.. But I wonder if anyone would eat purple icing other than me..Haha

I made really humongous peanut butter m&m cookies! (As you can see, 12 cookies on one normal tray) Ni kes pemalas nak habiskan cepat..Hahaha..plus I figured people would be hungry also. maklumlah, bulan puasa ni :P Anyway, it's supposed to be chocolate chips but they didnt sell it at the pasar near my house so I made do with m&ms! Hopefully it's nice!

Next up is carrot cake! I wanted to bake it today but the ingredients takde kat pasar. Plus it's more tedious with spice and oil.. Mum likes it though, so one day insyaAllah!

:D

And then it occured to me that just as a humble person wouldn't say that he's humble, an arrogant person wouldn't say that he's arrogant either...Hmmmmm

I have a purple comb and a purple scrunchie! Hahaha, absolutely my favourite colour :)

Alhamdulillah.. I hope Ramadhan has been going well for all of you..
