Cool right? :)

Handmade #2

Salam,

as long as I can remember i have always like doing crafts. I love the creativity and structure of doing something out of my bare hands. I used to do lots of paper crafts like cards, duty roster and things like that when i was in school. And since i moved to Germany i wanted to try sewing, so i bought myself the most basic and cheapest sewing machine i could find. It costs me 90 Euro. Still a lot of money, but it is the lowest price i could find.

My very fisrt sewing machine. The Singer 8280

After a couple of years with it, i am ready for a change actually. This one is fine for a beginner, but i think there are better machines that is affordable and better suit my needs.

I haven't sew that much actually, just a few bags here and there, a couple of prayer outfit (telekung), and a few skirts and blouse. But i am going to try quilting next. I discovered it a few months back and decided to give it a go. I have bought the fabrics i need, and now I  just to find time to start doing it. Pray for me will you.

Thanks and have a blessed day ahead!

Reminiscence

Salam people,

i hope your day has been good so far. Mine has only actually begun a few hours, and i can tell that it would be a bit monotone today. So i thought i would write something here.

Often times i would be playing back a few scenes in my head about my past. Most of it would be me doing something stupid or embarrassing, because you know, i was a TEENAGER. When i was young and carefree, i think i could do anything i want and would not have to care what other people thinks about me. Sometimes i also did the exact opposite thing, only do what other people think is cool and don't even care what damages it could have done to my iman.

But actually that is where i was wrong, because Allah is always near and dear and in the end i would have to answer for every single thing i did. I pray that God forgives me and never let me be astray again. InsyaAllah.

And just for another point of view on this, you might want to check this out.

May Allah bless.

Favorites #1

Salam,

it's been such a long time since i last write here. I've been meaning to but i guess the opportunity just slips away from me. Often, i have lots of ideas in my head of what i want to write about, but then i digress.
Anyhow, i really feel like writing today, so i have chosen to write simpler things.

So i am going to share a couple of my favorite movies. Both of them are about magic tricks, or the story behind the tricks.

First up is The Illusionist.

source

It has Edward Norton playing a magician in late nineteenth century in Vienna. It is a love story with mystery and a little bit of suspense and history. I really like Jessica Biel's look in it.



Next is The Prestige.

source

This movie is about the lives of two magician struggling to create a name for themselves. It is also filled with mystery and history. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman both did a great job portraying their character.


Out of the three magicians i really like Eisenheim. Which one is he you ask? Guess you have to watch to find out :)

Quiz

Salam,

I was browsing the internet and found something and tought i would share it here :)
Siapa tahu jenis- jenis tumbuhan yang ade disebut dalam Al quran?

Found it here.

May Allah bless.

New Place New Beginnings

Salam

i just wanted to update you guys on my life until now. I have already moved away from Bingen to Mannheim because my internship is here. Since the job is going to last till end of March, i decided to relocate.

It is actually already a couple of months of me working here, and i am glad everything is still going good.
The weather now is much colder and every time i'm going out i have to bundle up in jackets and gloves, which is a bit of a hassle but it's all fine.

I am looking forward to the Weihnachtsmarkt, which is a kind of basaar before Christmas. Much similar to Basaar Ramadhan we have in Malaysia every year. Since i didn't have the chance to go to the one on Jalan Tar whilst being here, this one will do.

On another note, i still have to write two exams, and one is coming next month on the 17th. InsyaAllah.

Please keep me in your prayer and also all the muslims in the world. May Allah grant us protection from those who wishes to harm Islam and the people following the ways of Rasulullah. Amin.

Ramadhan 1433

Salam semua,

Alhamdulillah syukur dapat bertemu Ramadhan sekali lagi. This time i would really like to finish reading the Quran in time. Last year was a fail, but insyaAllah i will try my best this year. Doakan ye!

I didn't feel so good early this morning, and decided not to study yet. Than i had an idea to do something. It's a booklet of zikir for Tarawih. I already have the PDF downloaded from somewhere (Here's a link) but it is for 20 rakaat and usually we only do 8 here together with some friends. So I work on it a bit, and this is the result.

You can download and print it out as Booklet. Then fold the papers in half, and staple it in the middle. InsyaAllah

Cinnamon Rolls

Salam,

ich habe einige Zimtschnecken gebacken.

Die Arbeitsplatz

Zimtschnecken im Backofen

Und es hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt! Norlisa, Aisya und ich beten Maghrib zusammen und danach haben wir die Zimtschnecken gegönnt. Die waren frisch auf der Backofen, und das Zimtaroma war überall in meinem Haus. Einfach toll muss ich sagen!

Die fertige 'Cinnamon Rolls' . Sieht komisch aus aber trotzdem, lecker!

Freue mich schon für die nächsten Mal!

Das Rezept befindet sich hier.

Handmade

Salam semua,

sorry sebab dah private semula blog ni, easier to manage i guess.

Just a quick update actually, nak cerita yang saya baru habis jahit my first piece of clothing. Alhamdulillah, gembira sangat. Jahit Tunika 121 from Burdastyle.de.

Arahan dalam jerman

Model wearing the 121 tunic

Dapat download pattern free few month back, baru dapat cari masa nak jahit. Gaya arahan macam senang je, tapi susah jugak nak buat. And terjahit saiz yang besar. Memang sengaja pilih one size bigger, tak sangka besar sangat pulak. And saya ubah sikit lengan, buat full bell sleeve.

InsyaAllah ahad nak pergi Stoffemarkt Holland. Boleh beli kain lagi. (Walaupun kain dari malaysia tak habis lagi, nak jugak beli, tak kire)

Sunnah

*****

Sunnah adalah sesuatu yang dinisbahkan kepada Nabi sama ada perkataan, perbuatan, pengakuan, sifat zahir atau akhlaq Nabi.

Contoh perkataan : Nabi sebut tentang kewajipan solat. Jadi solat itu sunnah, tapi tuntutannya wajib. Akhlaq : apa yang Nabi buat, dan apa yang Nabi tinggalkan. Haji, zakat, puasa semua itu sunnah, tapi tuntutannya wajib. Nabi senyum, itu sunnah, tapi tuntutannya sunat.

Dan sunnah itu tidak akan pernah lari dari 5 hukum iaitu sunat, wajib, harus, haram, makruh.

Tapi dalam ejaan arab, sunnah dan sunat itu sama ejaannya.

*****

Ambil dari kawan, saje nak kongsi dengan semua. InsyaAllah :)

Wordless Wednesday

Joining the bandwagon.
Lunch yesterday

A day in the lab

Salam semua,

hari ni saya pergi FH (to those who don't know, its my university) untuk siapkan kerja kat lab. Sepatutnye kerja ni dah siap semester lepas, tapi sebab i'm such a big procrastinator, terpakse lah sambung until now.

But before going into the lab saya pergi pulang buku kat library, and actually saya dah lambat pun sehari. Tapi Alhamdullilah Allah mudahkan hari saya, tak perlu bayar denda :)

And kat luar library tu ade exhibition sikit about macro paintings. The artist paints her images of biological subjects seen through the microscope. Kalau tengok dari jauh macam conteng-conteng je, a la high art gitu, but then its actually very scientific. Buat exhibition kat technical university kan, mane ade gambar bunga or pemandangan, semua nya nak scientific je :[

Kalau hayati betul-betul painting tu, rase diri ini kerdil pulak. Konon-konon banyak masalah, rase hidup ni sangat susah, tak de orang faham perasaan, padahal Allah ciptakan setiap makhluk ni dengan tujuan. Even yang kecil tak nampak dengan mata pun ade tujuan nya sendiri. Magnificent sangat! Maybe kene selalu ingatkan diri yang Allah sentiasa ade dan tak pernah tinggalkan kita. Al Baqarah :152

So bila dah masuk dalam lab tu, buat lah kerja untuk siapkan platine ( tak ingat lah dalam bahasa melayu ape sorry ). Sebenarnye dah lame tinggalkan, so macam dah lupe. Kene pateri sana sikit, pateri sini sikit. Kalau salah kene lah cabut semula. Nasib baik tengahari ade teman, Aisya datang melawat. Esok tengoklah siape pulak datang.

My Hobbies

Assalamualaikum wbt,

So, to restart my 'new blogging routine' i like to tell you guys a bit about my self :)

I like craft, mainly sewing. Sounds boring but i'don't mind.

I read a lot of blogs about this and have a few favourites to name. For instance delia creates. She is a wonderful mother of three who just had her baby girl. But the most amazing part of her blog is actually not her tutorials ( they are still awesome tough!),but actually her photos. It looked so professional and crisp, and at first i thought she must be a photographer.

But she isn't! Not a professional one at least. And she is going to start a photography series consisting of a few tutorials and example. I already adore her for all her sewing tutorials but this is so amazing for me, because going to a photography class costs money and time but this one is free and i can read it again anytime i want. I have a NIKON D5000 but i am actually not very good at taking pictures with it. Maybe its time for me to start learning.

So go on and head to her blog. Hopefully you will benefit from it like i will. InsyaAllah.

hiccups#8

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Bismillah, for starting again. I left this space for a year. But now I've decided to write once more.
InsyaAllah.

Going...

Private! Next week Insyaallah.

Sorry peeps, but send me your email if you would still like to read this little blog of mine <3

Supermoon

Took some pictures a couple of nights ago. Supermoon. But mine is not so super. Hope you like it tough. Enjoy :)

Life as it is

Salam semua,

I feel like writing again, such a surprise eh?

I've been thinking a lot about my life lately. Was it the same like two years ago? two month ago? or even two nights ago? How about you guys? Are yours the same?

I have been very lucky almost all of my life. I've gotten much of the things that I want, and more than I could imagine actually. The saddest part in my life was when my father was in the Hospital. It broke my heart when I heard the news. I could not fathom that the one person I love most was sick. Fortunately, God was kind and He let me have him for a little longer. Alhamdullilah, abah is still with till now. For that, for my life now and lots of other things I am very much grateful and thankful.

Allah has always been there for me, but I wasn't. I was so arrogant and senseless. I did what I want and ignored the main thing what a person's life should be! That is be humble to the Creator and fight for His Jannah, to be with Him when the time comes. Insyaallah I am trying now.

Onto lighter (worldly) things, my schedule are pretty tight this semester. With 10 Subjects and all, its quite hard to juggle. But Insyaallah everything will be fine. I have a good feeling about my path and I am confident that God is with me. As always.

And guys, please be safe and happy! Have a nice day ahead!

Tsunami in Japan

Salam people,

I know the news is not really new anymore, but still, I think I would like to share some of my toughts on this matter.

Okay first up is about this joke.

google image

A lot of people were mad at their action, and I am too. It is so insensitive for an acclaimed newspaper company/website in Malaysia to produce such cartoon. It's like what a 2 year old would do. Doodling away without thinking the effect it gave to other. People die because of the Tsunami, and its not something you make fun of. Even tough you apologized.

Next is relief fun and donation. A lot of the fake ones are already starting to pop out. Please be careful when doing it online or even in life. Its such a shame that some people would rather take advantage on other's lost, but us the fortunate one, be humble and donate to others through reliable sources. Don't be miserly and arrogant. Allah will not forgive such soul.

Al Baqarah : 264

Just now I was on the bus when I overheard the driver and one of the passenger was talking about Politics and Japan. I am in no intention to eavesdrop or anything, I just thought it was interesting to hear what other people are saying about this matter. I didn't quite catch what the main point were, but I did hear they say about the Prime Minister and and radiation damage control. And back home I searched about the news and was really confused. But I am still impressed that some of the government officers in Japan are willing to inspect the affected area which can be really dangerous, rather than running away like some other people would do. You can read here and here for some info and decide for your self.

And some more of my opinion, a few muslims are saying that the catastrophic events that that happened in the lately has all been written down in the Quran. I am no expert but I just don't think it is in our power or even mental capability to say such things. The Quran is divine and no man can translate it without consent from Allah. So for us simple human to say such big words might be wrong and we might be accused of misleading. A friend of mine once explained that Fate belongs to Allah, and we human can only interpret it the way we understand things. So don't rush and say mine for the things that is not yours.

Thats my two cent. Insyaallah.

Kembali ke Sekolah!

Salam,

I'm such a loser kan? Dah pinky promise pun tak update jugak. Sorry semua, time is running away from me!

Okay, sekarang sepatutnye cerita pasal Trip to Spain but saya rasa nak hold on dulu sebab nanti geng Wihdah akan Buat blog post kat Blog. So nanti saya letak link ye.

Tapi all in all nak cakap jugak my toughts about this trip. For me it wasn't just a simple sightseeing trip,instead it was really personal and deep. I learn a lot of new things, about the places I went to, the people that were there before and also about myself. I have always had questions in my mind but I choose to ignore most part of it and try my best to find the answers on my own. So when I was stuck, I just decided to forget it and move on.

Yes. That was what I always do. Moving on without finding the answer.

Its not the best way but it did get me places. But then, last weekend I started to wonder,Where do I stand in this world? Am I really doing the right thing that I'm supposed to do? I was born a Muslim, and I am for ever grateful for that. But deep inside I know that I am not a good muslim. I've done lots of mistakes and I choose to ignore those in the past. Not anymore Insyaallah. I'm trying my best to mend my life.Bit by Bit. Insyaallah

Dear Allah, help me in my path as you have help me before. Protect my family and give them comfort as they have given me before. Thanks you for you blessing and support and please keep me in your Nur.
