There's a reason why 2 people stay together: they give each other something nobody else can

30 hours ago, I escaped from being kidnapped (Chin Xin-Ci) - source “As I sit here writing this, I am just so grateful to be alive. To think that 30 hours ago I had a knife to my throat, face to face with the threat of being kidnapped and raped. It was a Sunday, at 5.22PM. I was alone, walking towards my boyfriend's car in level B2 of The Curve, Mutiara Damansara . He was not in town, and I was running errands with his car. Just as I was putting my shopping bags in the rear seat, the rear car door was slammed against my back, and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat. A man covered my mouth with his hand, and whispered not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat of the car and waved the cleaver at me, reminding me not to scream. He was skinny, wearing a baggy turqoise blue t-shirt, had a thick moustache and short curly hair, approx 5'8", mid-30s, and of Indian descent. At this moment, second man appeared. He was also i...

today i received an email from someone: Assalamualaikum Nadzirah. My name is Yatie . I found your blog when i googled for reviews on hotels in Msia. Well, the reason i'm writing this to you is to thank you. Fyi, your entries on experiences that you've had before you are blessed with Hannan is exactly similar and validate what I am facing right now. I cried when i read all the entries and even share it with my hubby. Yes, it such a relief to know what ever I am experiencing right now, especially the emotional turbulence, is normal. The stress, the without-any-reason mood swings, the impromptu cries, is normal. Just to make things clearer and maybe make sense to you, 2nd June 2012 will be our 6th wedding anniversary and we are not yet as blessed and as lucky as both of you to celebrate it with Hannan.   I am so sorry if you found this email is very disturbing but as i mentioned earlier i just want to thank you. There is no word that can really expressed or described...

this is my darling lil baby girl, Hannan She's 8 months old +  She loves to see herself in the mirror She loves any colorful, moving object And she's starting to crawl throwing herself to objects that fascinates her and can even stand herself with her hands on a support like the sofa and now she grumbles after she poo poo giving us sign "pls clean me up, I can't stand this thing at my back much longer!" she also seems to enjoy having the same food as ummi and daddy's She loves to hang out with ummi and daddy She loves holding on to our hands and move it the way she likes or touch things with our hands (she's super hygiene) and although she seems friendly, she may not necessarily want other person to hold her and at her current age, she really shows her affection this morning, when ummi and daddy are ready to get off to work she held on to us tightly as if she's not allowing us go and didn't want her granma to take he...

better believe this statement I was all in good, stable mood the last 4 weeks and people around me started saying that I look slimmer I wasn't paying much attention to their compliments as i was eating a lot really A LOT no restriction whatsoever until one fine day when I put on my regular jeans and said to myself, hey, I did lose some inches! but then, came the stressful week my eating habit got interrupted sometimes i would lost appetite and sometimes I would eat much and when I tried to get back to my usual eating regime I noticed I'm gaining more plus i did read somewhere that stress actually blocks *something *something in your body which causes concentration of fat and hence, welcome cellulite! all in all based on my "scientific" findings stress do make you gain more pounds so ladies and gentleman enjoy your life and learn how to manage your stress

hi there.. we spent our last weekend in Pangkor Island Beach Resort in conjuction with my department's family day however, we were not so part of the family day event as we departed to Pangkor with the latest ferry from the Lumut Jetty and went back with the earliest ferry from Pangkor and..It was a longg journey I think travelling to JB is not as tired as travelling to Pangkor either you take PLUS highway or LATAR highway doesn't make any different 4 hours from KL with lunch break gosh anyway at least we made the trip cos the closest we got to Pangkor last time was only in our kayaks around the island and that time was in no leisure mood so this time we got to stay at Pangkor Island Beach Resort We're here! Hannan's first experience riding a shuttle bus the room the another room happy baby on the buggy the signage bye bye Go there if you want to have relaxation and cut off from outside world. We didn't want that. ...

We saw this place last week and immediately wanna give it a try Apparently, this place serves not only fried chicken, but also nasi arab but i totally forgot to snap pictures anyway if you are craving something similar to marrybrown fried chicken, this is the place but the nasi arab is still far from the one they serve in Saba' Cyberjaya standard lots more to improve

"Cukuplah Allah menjadi Penolong kami dan Allah adalah sebaik-baik Pelindung" (Ali 'Imran:173) Nabi saw bersabda: "Iman terbahagi kepada dua. Separuh dalam sabar dan separuh dalam syukur" (HR Al-Baihaqi- source )

Nabi s.a.w. bersabda: "Orang yang paling sabar antara kamu adalah orang yang memafkan kesalahan orang lain padahal dia berkuasa membalasnya" (Riwayat Ibnu Abiduyya dan Baihaqi)  source  "Dan hendaklah mereka memafkan serta melupakan kesalahan orang-orang itu, tidakkah kamu suka supaya Allah mengampunkan dosa kamu?Dan ingatlah Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Mengasihani". (al-Nuur: 22)

can I...? yeay!!!

sometimes marriage is like that movie, 50 first dates? the one with drew barrymore and adam sandler? one day you fell in love and when you wake up the next day, you don't know what you are doing or how the hell did you get here When in fact, marriage promise you mawaddah wa rahmah and sakinah *He's got better plans

Apakah orang-orang yang zalim terhadap isteri atau anak-anak mereka tidak takut akan seksaan Allah di Hari Akhirat? Apakah mereka mengira bahwa mereka akan kekal selama-lamanya di dunia tanpa dipertanggungjawabkan tindakannya di Akhirat kelak? Apakah mereka mengira bahawa Allah tidak memerhatikan apa yang mereka lakukan? Apakah mereka mengira bahawa mereka akan terlepas dari balasanNya? Kebahagiaan? Rezeki? Ketenangan? atau dalam bentuk balasan yang abadi di sana nanti?

I was having a chit chat with my great granma and she suddenly said "kak long, kahwin ni banyak cubaan...kau jangan sesekali mintak cerai ya?!" I was stunned "kenapa nyang..?" "tak baik..kau kena banyak-banyak sabar.." "kalau hati kita sakit?kalau dia buat jahat?" "takpe..sabar banyak-banyak..jangan menyesal.." and she looked away I was completely shocked why she suddenly raised that subject I guess she was speaking through her own experience Dan apabila kamu menceraikan isteri-isteri (kamu) kemudian mereka (hampir) habis tempoh idahnya maka bolehlah kamu pegang mereka (rujuk) dengan cara yang baik atau lepaskan mereka dengan cara yang baik. Dan janganlah kamu pegang mereka (rujuk semula dengan maksud memberi mudarat, kerana kamu hendak melakukan kezaliman (terhadap mereka); dan sesiapa yang melakukan demikian maka sesungguhnya dia menganiaya dirinya sendiri. dan janganlah kamu menjadikan ayat-ayat hukum Allah itu sebagai ej...
