My husband (mioww) took some time to perform Solat syukur soon after we were being united. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I didn't cry at the moment, but the overwhelming feeling of relief was surreal. And being me, I like to keep my tears rather private, be it happiness or otherwise.</div>

But again, we are married, finally! Alhamdullilah.<br />

We had nasi minyak ready at home to serve the guests. But I just cudn't stomach any food at the moment out of excitement. And later ,we went to the beach for some outdoor photography. Well, it is well anticipated that we won't have this chance for a quiet outdoor photography during reception later. So , this is it!</div>

The reception was held in July, mainly to celebrate our big day with family
and friends with great foods. I just couldn't be more grateful when all
our fast-track planning fell into place perfectly, especially when my
preferred make-up artist and photographer were available even though
within very short notice.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, He made our plans went smooth
and easy.<br />

On the following day, we paid visit to the Vatican city. It was a loooooong queue to enter the building so we decided to skip the hassle and just snapping pics outside of it and observing the people.<br />

It was another long walk for us to discover Hard Rock Cafe Rome. And it was worth it, definitely!<br />

Venice is one of the most interesting city that visited.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It was one of the most priciest lodging that we have to pay per night. The city is lay back and offers completely different vibe and atmosphere as compared to other cities we have visited earlier. And I loooove it!<br /><br />

<br />
And the next stop was to Cordoba! It was a brief stop on our way to Barcelona. The main attraction here is the The Great Mosque-Cathederal of Cordoba (La Mezquita) . We arrived in the mid-day that was close to <i>siesta </i>time and we were just lucky as the halal shop received us as final customer before the closed. Fuh, alhamdulillah~.<br />
<br />
We went touring and savouring the ancient muslim art around the building structure. It was truly breathtaking moment to take in.<br />

It was just a brief walk around the one of the Andalusia territory ,
and we grabbed some memento before we hopped on the bus to resume the
journey straight to Seville.<br />

We also took two days to stay in Seville. It is quite lay back city and we took time to enjoy the peaceful city. One of the attractions we went was Real Alcazar. It was long queue to enter the building and we decided to maneuver just outside the building. It was not that bad, tho.<br />

Apart from that, we went to Barcelona Hard Rock Cafe, one of the most happening Europe HRCs that we ever visited. And I cant help myself from being influenced to join others buying the merchandise too. Haha!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh yes, this final pic is at Sagrada Familia, the most iconic building structure of Barcelona. The interesting part of this attraction is that the construction of the building has taken over decades but as you see, it is still under construction. Hihi.</div>

24th- 26th April 2016<br />
<br />
It was a beautiful day in Madrid, Espania. We arrived in the afternoon, the silent hours in Spain which is called <i>siesta, </i>whereby the local will use the hour to take a nap.<br />
<br />

<br />
We dropped our stuff at the apartment and resumed the tour to the Plaza Mayor. We were just lucky as we reached the plaza at happy hour when a pan of pizza just cost 1euro. Whee~<br />
<br />

Yes, that was the most decent lunch that we could find here. Finding a proper bench to eat was another story. So we decided to have the lunch bites in the middle of the plaza. Definitely it was exciting and lively.</div>

From Madrid , we went travelled to Granada, an ancient city where the great historical structure of Alhamdra is situated.<br />

The city is one of the lay back city that we stayed. I like the surrounding of the city, and having a long walk in chilled day was rather enjoyable.<br />

We have one full day to explore the beautiful city, and this time we chose to follow city tour by foot. The attractions were closed with one another, thus the guided tour came in handy.<br />
<br />
The tour was split by two languages, one in English and one in Spanish. There were time when we lost from our group(well, snapped pictures and posed like nobody's business, what do you expect~), so we hung out with the Spanish group. Definitely none of her explanation was understandable, but seeing her audiences listened with intensity, I felt impressed as the tour guide herself delivered the information with passion in her eyes. I fell in love with Spanish people instantly. Ah~<br />
<br />
Ah well, let's have some more pictures taken.<br />

Among of the attractions, we were brought to the spot where we can observe the Alhambra gate. Yes</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
,that was what beggars like us would have for our piece of Alhambra memories. Or else , we gotta spend handsome amount of euro to get the access to the ancient building.</div>

We walk along Morroco-styled street market and bumped into this restaurant when we started starving. We had our local lunch just in time of siesta when the shops started to close. We finished with the lunch, strolled to hotel while doing some shopping. Overall the experience were awesome!</div>

I took us almost 24 hours on the go before we arrived our first destination, Cappadocia. we arrived at Gerome Cave house in the night time, and we were so drained in excitement to finally get a proper bed to sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This region is located at the central of Turkey and the weather was super chilly in the morning ,and worse in the night time.</div>

It was a wrap up for our days in Turkey. And we were just ready to move to next destination. Strolling around the Blue Mosque in the morning was a bliss. It was not as hectic as in the other time whereby the pedestrians were very minimum at this hour. And definitely I took chance for selfie on the go. Ha ha~</div>

It is year end, and our next destination is so -called chilled city, Chiang Mai. You're not gonna waste the chance visiting Chiang Rai as you hv reached Chiang Mai.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Chiang Rai , we stayed at Prince Residence. The location is strategically in the city, whereby the nightmarket is within the walking distance. </div>

I mean, it is just next to the hotel! The hotel owner is really accommodating. From the hotel info, the iron is not provided by the hotel.Nevertheless, we took chance to request for it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And guess what, the owner
has lugged iron board all the way from the house next to the residence.
What an effort. With its economy class range hotel, I think the hotel
is really satisfactory and worth our money.</div>

The halal food is also easy to find from
the hotel, as it is nearby to Masiid Hidayah. Personally it is not as
comfy as the one in Chiang Rai despite the same price that we paid. But ,
considering other upside of staying in the hotel especially its
strategic location, I think it is recomendable for those who plan to
stay in the budget hotel in Chiang Mai.</div>

Yes, it has been ages since my trip to Chiang Mai, and only now I managed to find time to write about the trip. So many worldly commitments that I hv to oblige that writing this entry has become the least thing that I remember to finish. Walaweiii...<br />
<br />
The first location we went was historical temple ,Wat Phra Keaw. <br />
<br />

<br />
We have our tour around and inside out the temple, and had some shopping free, as the is also market nearby selling local handicrafts.<br />
<br />
Then we went to next temple, Wat Chedi Luang. Info from our tour guide, it took three decades for this structure to be built. <br />
<br />

<br />
The weather was sunny, but the wind was chilly. So we went to the inside of the temple, and the interior is indeed amusing.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was happened to attend Twins Of Faith conference this weekend, so I stayed at Fiza's crib.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it was her idea to hv a picnic at Tadom Hill on the day before the conference. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were guided merely by Waze to reach Banting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The place is quite isolated and there is no proper signboard to the destination. Hence, it took series of u-turns and navigation on the same roads for a few rounds before we gave up and asked the locals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are groups of people already queuing to enter the picnic premise. Apparently the area was just opened for public weeks earlier, thus loads of rooms that highly need for improvement especially on the entry system.</div>

Most
of us enjoyed being in the green lake. The scenery is really
beautiful and peaceful. The time to enjoy the lake at its bestis in the
morning. In the midday it was so sunny that sunbathing felt rather
painfully hot. Grrr..<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been ages since I went to any island, be it locally or otherwise. When I was prompted the idea of going to Krabi with Zera,Fiza , Ziela and her colleagues, I was like 'sure, y not?'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once in a while it was fun and better still,more relaxing for just being the 'passenger ' of this whole trip, after being in series of trips with me as the mastermind.<br />
<br />
We reached the land of Krabi in the dawn, and were brought to the hotel. The tours and activities for the whole trip was only confirmed when we we brought to the tourist agent on the way to the hotel in Ao Nang.<br />

This is the second elephant santuary that I went apart from one in Kuala Gandah, Rompin. But I'm telling you the elephants here were really huuuuge. And we grabbed the opportunity to hop on the mammal for a peaceful ride around the greenery surrounding.</span></div>

On the next day, the activities were more to island hopping. We were brought to a few island i.e bamboo island for sight seeing, as well as phi phi island. Apart from that, snorkling in open sea was also included in the itenerary, even though the under water view was quite dissapointing. No coral reef, and very little fish were seen. Perhaps acquiring diving license will be worthwhile for the purpose, yes.?</div>

If you want to see both sunset and sunrise, it is just a few walks away from the beach. And it is not soo hard to get Halal foods in this area.<br />
<br />
There are also numerous spas with all kinds of self pampering treatments available around this area as well as souvenir shops. But you might want to skip the shopping here, if the price concerns you =).. <br />

It has been quite a few times that Mak told her wish to have family picnic by the beach. And only recently I found out about Pantai Sepat as one of famous picnic spot in Kuantan.<br />

Situated about 15 minutes from Kuantan city, the beach is a bit isolated from hectic traffic, and I love the sight of trees spanning along the beach.<br />

The beach is suitable for my nephew to have their first experiences stepping their foot in the water, unlike many other beaches that I went before.<br />

It's time for South Island. This is New Zealand map so that you get the overview of how a NZ should be explored.<br />

We went to South Island via Jetstar starting from Christchurch. There is another option to South Island via road and surely it will be more adventurous. But we only learnt the option when we arrived in Auckland. Nevertheless, time is not really on our side, thus, having flight to Christchurch saved a lot more time and energy before we started our real adventure. Yes, real one.hihi.<br />

So we reached Christchurch Airport before we were picked up to Kea campervan agency which is located just a few minutes away from the airport. The briefing session took like, hours that I cant wait to toss our bag and suitcases to get some rest. Oh yes,did I tell you that we have almost missed our flight back in Auckland. It was very nerve wrecking chasing and decision making moment. Imagine, we have like less than 1 hour to return our car to Jucy rental agent, when we were yet to check in. Thankfully Jetstar ground staff was so helpful and considerate to let us in at the very last minute. Huhu. Seriously tiring, mentally and physically.<br />

Finding halal food in Christchurch is not as easy as in Auckland. We were starving thus decided to go for vegetarian dinner in a nice Indian restaurant.<br />

We arrived at Lake Tekapo at noon, and it was rainy. So we decided to have our lunch while waiting for the rain to stop. And yes, it was time to cook in the campervan. Yay! <br />

The weather was pretty yucky when arrived at the location. We went longgg way to get here. Thus, be it sunny or rainy, we have no option but to make full use of the the day, no?<br />

So the following morning we resumed our journey to our initial point, that was Christchurch. The drive took almost whole day. We stopped by for fuel, picture taking every now and then. </div>

Along the road, there are places where the topography was challenging to drive. Being an amateur campervan driver, we took precaution to drive very slow. And there was also days when we were not so lucky in one incident when we were forced to pull over by an angry local road user,just to lend our ears to hear his curses to our face for our slow speed on the 100km/h highway. Of course we were scared that the comboy-like man would take out his gun and shoot us to death. Huhu. </div>

Nevertheless, we refused to allow the incident to take our good mood away. Thankfully the view of the place is pretty that we can stopped by to release the stress.<br />

All in all, despite the bitter sweet moments throughout the 5-day journey exploring SouthIsland, we managed to keep ourselves safe to end of the trip. Alhamdulillah, this trip is indeed another eye-opener for His Almighty.</div>

Finally, the day has arrived, and we were excited to start off our journey in New Zealand! We purchased the tix from KLIA to Auckland, with little awareness on how the New Zealand trip should have been explored.<br />
<br />
So after a while, I purchase the plane tix from Auckland to Christchurch, in order to pursue our plan to South Island part.<br />
<br />
We have spent a few days in North Island. Little that we expected, we have covered almost entire New Zealand at the end of the day becos that was not part of our initial plan, actually.<br />

We rented a sedan car, just perfect for 4 of us including our bulky suitcases. And best part about renting from Jucy is that we are entitled for special discounts for some fun activities and cruises. We were lucky that I still kept the evidence of this rental to enjoy good price for cruise at Millford Sound about a week later in South Island. Yippii~</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first place we went was to Rotorua, which is 3 hours away from Auckland. It was very calm and relaxing long drive that we kept ohh and ahhh on the scenery along the way. Being the first timer drving in this country, it was hardly to feel stressful on the long, flat road with little incoming traffics and rarely seen houses of the local people. All we saw were sheeps and cows farm and green hills here and there. Very beautiful.</span></span></div>

The extreme activity like rapid is also available here but we chose to pose here and there while enjoying the beauty scenery in dry piece before we resume our journey to Lake Taupo.<br />

We arrived at Lake Taupo almost in midday. Apart from its beautiful view, this place is also well known for extreme activity like bunge jump. <br />

Lake Taupo is one of the largest natural lake in New Zealand. The picturesque scenery is just too priceless to miss out if we arrived in New Zealand,<br />

That's it for southern island of North Island. As the land of North Island is not soooo vast to explore, we also took the opportunity to drive up to the northern part of North Island.<br />
<br />
This is totally unplanned itinerary to drive up to Cape of Reinga. Things started on our first night in Auckland when I realized that the flight Christchurch-Auckland was later than Auckland-KLIA.Had I not realized it this soon(err isnt it a bit late already?duhh), we might ended up stranded in Auckland Airport waiting the next available tickets to purchase with the cost of fortune! So the whole night was not for rest from our long haul journey, but was spent to call all airlines hotlines to decide our resolutions. Alhamdulillah we managed to secure MAS tix at a reasonable additional price with extension of a few more days in Auckland, that made up total of 14 days in NZ. Hihi<br />
<br />
Back to North Island exploration, we stayed one night in Paihia. It is just a small town that we stopped for one night after over three hours drive from Auckland.</div>

On the following day, we resume our journey ahead to the tip of New Zealand, Cape of Reinga. The drive was quite adventurous, mind you to ensure your tank is full prior the journey as it was quite hard to find gas station-thanks to GPS in our car.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The journey to Cape of Reinga took almost 3 hours. But when we arrived, it was really worthwhile. The place is beautiful and we can see the meeting point of Tasmanian Sea and Pacific Ocean. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We left Cape of Reinga with full of satisfaction. Time to go home!</div>

Just recently my friends and I went to New Zealand for 14 days. Yes it was the longest trip we have made so far, thus made it the most lodgings we rented throughout the journey. So this entry is served for overview of our lodgings, whihch is highly recommendable for budget backpacker, or luggage-er, for that matter. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the first day, we were greeted with Malaysian hospitality by Kak Anita who have been staying in Auckland for quite some time. The best part is that we were welcome with mee hailam in the midnight followed with nasik lemak for breakfast. That was the warmest hospitality received from a friend before we started our journey -all on expenses. Kui kui kui..</div>

If you choose to stay at affordable guest house run by Malaysian, Mesra Guesthouse is the best option. We were greeted from doorstep, and they were even helping and guiding us to pick the 'must-go-places' in both North and South Island.</div>

<u>Rotorua, North Island</u><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Auckland, we drove to Rotorua for its<u> </u>attractions such as Lake Taupo, which is well known for Bungy Jump activity and its vast scenery lake. And there is also Maori Cultural Heritage Center that is worth to watch when you are in New Zealand, apart from super gorgeous scenery surrounding the village like hot spring, geyser and etc.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took three hours driving from Auckland, thus we decided to stay overnight in Rotorua. We were lucky to learn that budget and yet comfortable hostel like YHA hostel is available in NZ land. They have a few common areas such as kitchen complete with cutlery and cooking utensils, rest area and etc. Most importantly the premise is clean! With the cost as cheap as 20 dollar per pax per night, the value we get is very worthy.</div>

<u>South Island</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When we reached South Island, the trip was switched to a very independent mode. We rented a campervan! It was convenience in a sense that we didn't have to do repetitive packing and unpacking stuff, not to mention the idea of lugging our suitcase everytime we reached the accommodation. So we saved our energy from that hassle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Unlike Northen part,South Island is campervan-friendly. All you have to be prepared is to reach the campsite before midnight for safety reason.</div>

Every night the campervan need to be charged, which its facilities only available at holiday park or camp site. We have selected Top 10 holiday parks throughout this trip for its extensive facilities such as kitchen, laundry and washroom. Everything about the facilities is hygiene and well-maintained that made you forget the exhaustion of long drive instantly.</div>

About the campervan, we hired this luxury vehicle from Kea. The daily rate varies according to specific season, and we were lucky as we hired it during off-season. Yes, there is other budget campervan available on the intenet. But being the first timer behind its wheel, we didn't want to take the chance.</div>

So I heard about this seminar and again I was attracted to
go all the way to Shah Alam to join the crowd. The Straight Path Convention is
mainly focus on what good deeds that we should do in efforts to go to Jannah,
the roadblocks from Jannah and many topics were discussed in related to Jannah.
The interesting part of this convention is that one of the speakers is a
prominent daie which is well known in FB, that is Mufti Ismail Menk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<br />
<br />
It was long weekend so I decided to bring the kids of my family to visit Mini Zoo Kemaman.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The mini zoo has been established quite some time, but only now I felt called to bring them there. Bad sistah~<br />
<br />
Of course all of them, my baby siblings including nephew Muiz were excited upon hearing the plan!The shuttle is available at the front gate to bring us further in the main zoo area. <br />
<br />

The kids were excited watching the animals they normally saw in telly like elephants, tiger, crocodiles and etc. I was amused seeing their excitement, that I wished that I brought them here earlier.Hihi.</div>

<br />
The new year 2015 has long since passed, but only today that I managed to write something about our recent trip to Nepal. I blame it to my severe addiction to watching Running Man nowadays. Tee hee..<br />

When we arrived at the international airport, the surrounding was crowded with many Nepali men. It was quite hard to see female Nepali around, unlike other places we went before.And seeing them who mostly were wearing dark jackets made the sight was a bit gloomy in my eyes. It was almost the same sight when we were waiting for boarding in departure hall back in KL. The hall felt like a gloomy place with mostly Nepali men in it wearing dark outfit. Nevermind, we wasted no time and headed straight to our first lodging at Nagarkot.</div>

If you are wondering which part of Nepal that a Must-go, Nagarkot is certainly one of them. Apart from its location that is quite close to Kathmandu, for a short trip, we still can enjoy the sunset and sunrise at the Himalaya Range.<br />

Just perfect to suite the guest's expectation, most of the lodging in Nagarkot hillside has their own roof top overlooking the Himalaya range. So we went up there to get the best spot to capture the sunset moment. Seriously I never put my eyes on something as picturesque as the scenery here.</div>

In the morning, we woke up in the wee hour of the morning to ensure that all of us are ready to wait the sun rises at the roof top again. plus, we need to secure a good spot before other guests joined in. The wind was cold , that we waited in shiver to see the beautiful sunrise showed.</div>

It was when we went to the remote part of the square, I was awed upon seeing very huge cow at one side of their worshiping area . And that's not it, when I turned to other side of their so-called sacred area, an old woman was seen spreading the cow discharge with her bare hand. oh man!! That was too much, I was thinking we were in a very ancient age. But it still exists now. Huhu.</div>

Some experiences with nepali people, we found that they can easily recognized us as not indon or philipino, but malaysian!Yes, I could feel the pride glow when our country received that kind of acknowledge here.</div>

They like malaysian people, so we can easily get connected with them, consequently the bargaining process became easier. Some of nepali guys look like chinese, perhaps coming from tibetan origin , while some of them, we might mistaken as Tamil, or hindustani. </div>

The weather in December is nice, cold but not snowy. I love that part of the country. The road is badly paved here and there, thus made our journey a lot bumpier than ever. Nonetheless, having brought up in hardship, I found that they are skillful driver in the massive traffic jam, and close to scary to death ,sometimes. Huhuh</div>

We arrived and checked ourselves into Hotel Nepalaya , get refreshed, and went for shopping afterwards. The market is just a few minutes away, in Thamel road. Apart from it, we spent the remaining hours in daylight navigating the city area ,and found another Durbar Square. But we have had enough with previous durbar square tour experience, snapped a few wefies, and we were off to the next attraction.</div>

Apparently these monkeys also have some sort of "abang long kawasan" , whereby we grabbed the chance
to watch them fighting and scratching each other till bleeding to rebut kawasan and perhaps, to get the attention from female monkey. Scary..<br />

If you plan to enjoy sunset and sunrise scenery at Nagarkot, Peaceful Cottage & Cafe Du Mont is just almost perfect accommodation to go for. </div>
<br />
It is located at the hillside facing to the Himalayan range. Reaching to the top of the hill was another adventure ride, thank God we have an expert local driver to maneuver the hill side and bumpy route.<br />

There is nothing extravagant reception that you can expect in this premise, but the warm smile and service received from the hotel staff were good enough for make ourselves comfortable.<br />

We dumped our luggage in the room and took no time to rush to the roof top of the building. It was about time to see the sun set. Did I tell you how awestruck we felt upon seeing the scenery? Wait till the next entry comes out. He he.</div>

But one thing that was not so pleasant to bear on the night time was the cooooold night like we were sleeping in a roofless house on the icy floor. The heater was not provided,with only a hot pouch to give our feet some warmth, with considerably thick but-still cold blanket, we went through the chilly night with sound sleep.</div>

In Kathmandu, we chose to stay at Hotel Nepalaya. It is located very strategically at the center of Kathmandu city, Thamel road. Which means it is just a few walks away from their popular market. Yes, good bargain means good shopping. Wink!</div>

The room is clean and its hygiene level is satisfactory. The flip side of the stay in Nepal is that the intermittent electric supply which has caused us to sleep in cold for a few hours and got the heater on the next. Nothing much that they hotel can do to satisfy us, despite our complaint, as it is due to the government policy of on the electricity supply. Anyway, despite the minor hiccup, it is still a good place to stay.</div>

It feels like it has been quite a while that I didn't do any baking. The idea to try baking a pavlova was triggered when I saw the pics in facebook, that made me drool upon seeing it. <br />
<br />
I imitated the recipe from <a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/Pavlova.html">joyofbaking</a> website, and yes , the ingredients are easy to find in the market. I'm not going through the details of the process , but along the process, I learned a few lessons in order to bake the meringue successfully, and rather, it was interesting learning process!<br />
<br />
The lessons were:<br />
<br />
1) all 4 eggs that are beaten should be baked at once, as I tried to divide the meringue into two portions, but it has ended up that the second portion slowly dissolved. plus , my first meringue became really thin and it was less drooling. huhu<br />
2) use as low temp at 100 degree c all the way. This helped greatly to avoid the meringue from being overbaked.<br />
3) as for whip cream, do not mix sugar and other ingredient when you first beat the whip cream. It turns to buttery form. Huwaaaaa~<br />
<br />

Nonetheless , no matter how ugly it looked -my ugly pavlova, my sibling love it that it has finished at one go. But in order to get the right-almost -perfect look pavlova, I bake my second attempt on the following day. This time I used the whip cream spray, easier and faster . And it turned out the second try looked wayyyy better . So , with that satisfaction, I can rest from any baking activity for another one or two months later. hihih</div>

I got another chance to explore luxury hotels in Putrajaya recently, so I chose to stay at Shangri La Putrajaya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The location is a bit isolated from the hectic roads in Putrajaya. Situated on top of the hill, next to a palace, this business trip felt like a holiday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The room has luxury of space in bedroom and even we can use valet parking at the front door to park our car. How cool is that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Another thing I like about staying here is that they offer variety of breakfast choices, that I could sit there for hours savoring the delicacies. Ah well, for my case, I need to be there as early as 7 to eat to ensure that I could reach my training class punctually, no?<br />

<br />
I've heard about this islamic conference since last year. But only one year later, the interest and curiosity of the conference crept in my mind..and so, I purchased the ticket!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Apart from lecture mode at the main auditorium, there was also workshops conducted concurrently at the other side of the complex.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So it went back to us to choose which speaker and topics that interest us more to listen. This annual conference lined up speakers from various countries across the globe. Therefore, the experiences when listening to these speakers were fantastic.</div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
So here are some of key messages that I managed to jot down from the 2-day conference.<br />
<br />
<u><b>The signs of Allah by Sheikh Daood Butt</b></u><br />
<br />
1) When you remember Him, your heart will shiver<br />
2)We love Allah swt because he is the One that blesses us<br />
3) We pray for Allah swt for His Blessings<br />
4) We dont use His Blessings to displease Him<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Important pillar in believing Qadr by Sheikh Muizz Bukhary</u></b><br />
<br />
1)Allah swt knows everything i.e past, present, future<br />
2)Believe that everything has been written that is 50,000 years before creation of heaven<br />
3)Bring in our heart ; When Allah swt will someone to be guided, he will be guided BUT when Allah swt will him to lead astray, no one will be able to guide him. We have the free will, but Allah swt ALWAYS knows what option you going to choose.<br />
4)Allah swt created every single thing. Our decision is the creation of Allah swt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Duaa between the Seen and the Unseen - Dr Jamaan Al Zahrani</b></u><br />
<br />
It was narrated that Rasulullah saw has said :<br />
"There is no duaa of a muslim without response but:<br />
1) Allah swt keep it from you to hereafter<br />
2)Allah swt avoid from bad things happen to you."<br />
<br />
Aisyah r.a said she knows Allah swt answers her duaa when she duaa with tears.<br />
<br />
6 adab when make duaa ,<br />
1)dont be hurry to get result<br />
2)amal maaruf nahi mungkar<br />
3)ensure halal income<br />
4)have good heart to love muslim brothers and sister<br />
5)seek Allah swt , good or bad time<br />
6)make connection between ourselves and Allah swt. <br />
<br />
<u><b>The ultimate abode by sheikh Yahya Ibrahim</b></u><br />
<br />
Jannah : No one has heard of it, no human heart can ever imagine it.<br />
<br />
In jannah, grass is zaffron, the youth shall never departed.<br />
<br />
Jannah is earned through trial.Allah swt hid jannah with all these :<br />
1)loves the one who does not love him/her<br />
2) restrains your anger<br />
<br />
Some questions raised for us to ponder. Those imply our place to jannah.<br />
1) How many juzuk of Al Quran you complete in a week?<br />
2)How many solat have you done apart from solat fardhu?<br />
3)Do you bring comfort to people of people relieve when you depart?<br />
4)Are you source of comfort or source of trial to others?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Creations of smokeless fire by Sheikh Muizz Bukhary</u></b><br />
<br />
Definition of jannah : hidden garded, no human has witnessed it, heard of it, crossed mind of human being.<br />
<br />
Jin : Hidden from human sight, created before mankind from smokeless fire<br />
<br />
Types of jin<br />
1)jinni : general<br />
2)(forget the name) :live with people <br />
3)marid : evil, demonic<br />
4)ghilan : disturb you, so call the athan<br />
5)ifrit : fly to the air , take form of black snake<br />
<br />
We can see the jin but not in the original form. Oldest individual living on the face of earth is Iblis (Azazil).<br />
Iblis is a jin, not malaikat (angel)<br />
Malaikat doesn't disobey Allah swt command.<br />
<br />
Jin produces 9 at one birth<br />
<br />
Rasulullah saw recites 3 Qul when he cannot sleep.<br />
Read ayatul qudsi before sleep , and no devil will disturb you until morning.<br />
<br />
<u><br /><b>Creatures of light by Sheikh Karim Abuzaid</b></u><br />
<br />
1)When a sister loves another sister for the sake of Allah swt. , tell her.<br />
<br />
2)If you want your spouse to love you, be obedient to Allah swt. Aishah r.a never jealous to the other wives but to Khadijah r.a.<br />
<br />
3)Angels have different sizes. Jibril has 600 wings that block the horizon.<br />
<br />
4)Jibril earlobe and shoulder takes 700 years to reach.<br />
<br />
5)We cannot see the angels in angelic form unless Rasulullah saw.<br />
<br />
6) At Kaabah, angels get only once in a lifetime visa to visit as the others are taking turn too.<br />
<br />
7)In creation of Adam a.s , angels do not question His Command<br />
<br />
<br />
Note : Ok. That's it. Hopefully it benefits us in any way possible.But at remote possibility, if there is any of the info above has some discrepancies, it is totally my bad. <br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from learning session, there are also bazaar for shopping, yes shopping!<br />
<br />

The organizer is also brilliant in their strategy to attract more participants by providing mother's room , and play and pray section. So parents can have some freedom to listen to the talk while the kids are having fun.</div>

Sister's corner was set up for sisters to listen while having some relaxing activities such manicure and other spa services. Well, personally,lecture hall experience is still the best for me.<br />

Some of the knowledge is the basic knowledge that we have known all our live. But then, there is something about the atmosphere, surrounded with people who crave for ilmu which make the feeling of being in the conference become another interesting life experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All in all, I start to fall in love with the conference of this liking ,and I wish I will get the opportunity to join more of it in the future.</div>

12th Dec 2014<br />
<br />
Last year I cudnt make it to this annual exhibition, so this year I determine to go and see it by myself and buy myself the books.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbBDYoYimBpJxTqJ9O6k0gAUE29qc4_ol9Vnl-3wUg1bkfwy9VXPd9rk5KkGunEO14mKsnWI4P-jGj_-3cczPWg7kFKaLC0knOnKmZSayppRN5sjeYNvtMKMMr-ZzLiMTdbkwYJ6Fb_XyD/s1600/DSC07179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbBDYoYimBpJxTqJ9O6k0gAUE29qc4_ol9Vnl-3wUg1bkfwy9VXPd9rk5KkGunEO14mKsnWI4P-jGj_-3cczPWg7kFKaLC0knOnKmZSayppRN5sjeYNvtMKMMr-ZzLiMTdbkwYJ6Fb_XyD/s1600/DSC07179.JPG" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Yes, there were a lot of people in the hall, but we still can choose the books at peace. Good thing is that the organizer has also provided basket for the visitors,so it saved us from bring our own trolley bag to buy masses of books at one go.<br />
<br />

It was not hard to find the books of my favourite authors, well, I was over the moon. Picked up the books without seeing the price tag. And just to find out the cost is less than RM60 for all these books I chose.<br />

This is heaven for book lovers. Must.come.next.year!Juli.Zakariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15802463168667513741noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619089604659405304.post-26339474602686238292014-12-27T16:29:00.002+08:002014-12-27T16:29:22.956+08:00Aging Gracefully with SKII. (Meowww~)<div style="text-align: justify;">
It started about two years back, when I was having severe skin allergic at u-zone of my face. The worse acne allergic were all over my face, but thankfully they were well covered by my hijab.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The process of healing the allergic effect was not found overnight. I went through series of "try and error" skincare products and just to find out that the efforts went straight to the drain. Hmpphh..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was using the other Japan skincare products back then ( I dunno, but I have certain degree of confidence in using Japan products ), but due to the prolong allergic effects, I started to use all ranges of skincare to cure them from as cheap as rice soap until I decided to try the priciest skincare I ever known, SKII.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until I went to see the doctor, then only I started to find the true cure to my horrible acne attack. It's not that the use of it has solved the entire allergic problem, but boy, I found it hard to stop using it when I started feeling the result of it over time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

When consuming skincare, anti aging stuff or any other beauty products , I have the belief good products show result slower but lifelong, if it is maintained properly. <i> </i>So nothing much difference that I expected overnight, but wait I until I grow wiser ..( I refuse to use word <i>older</i> here. Kah kah kah)</div>

Good thing I enjoy shopping for this skincare is that they give free mini size of other products for certain amount of purchase...</div>

When reaching Christmas season, the bargain becomes a lot more overwhelming. Using points collected from previous purchases for the entire year, we will get more free gift for redemption, some of them worth hundred ringgit of face masks, and other fabulous skincare stuff that you won't bother to buy in regular purchase.</div>
<br />
<br />
I was happened to visit the store to replenish my stuff and apparently I have ended up buying a little more than planned but received a lottttt more gifts than I have expected. Weee hoo~<br />

Let's talk about food some more. I've been meaning to do something new, but not so sure what to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The idea popped in my mind in one of my lazy weekend on raining Friday. It is November, means that monsoon season is starting to show up nowadays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This whole idea was triggered from conversation with Ainul via whatsapp, who brought nutella pod for her officemates. Knowing that the recipe is easy to do, and when I know that it costs RM15 for 10 pcs of them, I just couldn't wait to try it myself. As suggested by Ainul, I got the recipe from <a href="http://laurassweetspot.com/2012/09/17/nutella-cookie-cups/">here</a> .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ingredients are easy to get, and it doesn't require so much time to bake a tray of them. Just 10 minutes at 180 degree C. I use chopstick to make an indentation and icing pipe to insert the nutella into it. Smudge- free.! Nevertheless, every pod is "vanished" just when nuttella is inserted in it. All my siblings are at home, I barely able to save a container of them by the time second round of the mix is baked. Ho ho.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I kept doing the same process from 11 o'clock in the morning until last tray in the oven at 7 o'clock in the evening. Thankfully the few last batches were successfully saved to be brought to office on the next day. I finished full jar of nutella, and left another jar at home for the next weekend's plan. I came home 5 days later just to see an empty jar, the nuttella was exhausted by siblings due to prolong starvation in the past raining days. Bertuah! </div>

Normal nuttella pod I saw was just plain nuttela filling in it. But I chose to use crush almond on top it, just to add some cosmetic value on it. Hi hi.<br />

Looking at the pictures that were posted, I didn't care less, initially. <br />
<br />
Until one day when one of my officemates brought it to work. I started to get a taste of one piece and the rest is history. (Ok this might sound a bit drama la kann).<br />
<br />
Yes I can opt for buying the ready made from the other friends at office (I'm telling you this jeruk is phenomenal at our place nowadays), but I decided to be rather thoughtful. Heh heh.<br />
<br />

<br />
So I went to buy the mango , guave, asam boi ,chilies to give some hot flavour in it.Small chilies are the right choice, actually.<br />

<br />
It is not that hard to do it, just chop and mix everything with some sugar altogether. The water from fruits will settle overnight, which will add flavour to this.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I brought it to office, and voila! It lasted by lunch time. The mango that I bought were enoug for three days supplies of jeruk mangga asam boi for the team at office. I didn't actually eat much of them, for preparing and serving them to friends are enough to make me feel content about it. hi hi.</div>
