Nikmat apakah yang kamu ingin dustakan?

Assalam.


Luahan hati sikit harini. Kalau sudi baca alhmdulillah.

Rezeki Allah tetapkan bukan hanya di tanda dgn gaji dan pangkat. I learned this the hard way. I strived and worked hard for titles and pangkat when there is opportunity but sometimes bila hati tak ikhlas, duit dapat cepat saja rasa pergi. And then we had this re organization circa 2016 which taught me a lot about how to become an overall better person, alhmdulillah.

I was given a huge responsibility and was paired with a very honest personality who had taught me so much great values in life. We just face whatever we could with all our energy and skills and never looked back. My people skill and knowledge grew deeper by day, and our enery level by 530 every single day was at 5% just enough to get ourselves back home. All that really matters is actually what really matters and we have to do what we have to do, with what we can. Each day was a new challenge. Each challenge a new lesson to be learnt. And by the end we were actually satisfied. I didnt really care of the tittles or levels anymore but mashallah the rezeki kept flowing in. I was really in awe with what Allah had for us for our sincerity in doing more than we should and the concept of His Adil. He will give you what you work for as He knows all what we have done. So yes, i didnt get raise but the money/bonus/incentives was more than what i will get if i had gotten the raise. I was struggling with my lhdn filings for those years (in a good way) but i was not complaining. Syukur alhmdulillah. I pushed my engineer to get a raise and kpi 4 for 3consecutive years because i believe she deserves it.

Yup i didnt get my raise but i my loans cleared for a new car, one of my dream car that me and hubs were awing all those while. I managed to get my home a lil bit improved alhmdulillah, and we had a lil bit put away for our big family holiday 2020 and a lil bit more squeezed for open tables alhmdulillah.




Being very used to simplicity, we didnt have huge wants to iphone12 or big new smart tv so thats a good thing. And we were so used to simplicity, we do not really have a long wish list to change or buy everything. I know where to get similar items cheaper and better values of items around us alhmdulillah. And hubs self taught himself to do diy works around the house, from simple carpentry to repairing and complicated wiring.so this was a major rezeki for us alhmdulillah. I was always the creative director and he was the executor.lol. Once he did all the wirings, lamps and fans for the whole 2 storey house of his lil brother..which had saved his brother around 2k. I know this 2k value will come back around to us in a lot of other versions for us to help them dgn ikhlas.

We always work as a team, and jangan berkira. You do you. Dan perkahwinan ni sebenarnya medan memberi, ibadat kita paling panjang sepanjang hayat kita. Nak sentuh bab kawin ni mashallah..syukur sangat Allah kurniakan suami yang sangat sangat sabar dgn segala kerenah kita. Kalau nak kira buruk dia tu..tak setanding buruk kita. Suami adalah hadiah untuk kita- medan pahala kita, dan kita rebut pahala untuk memberi dan memberi. And whatever we bring back to the table we share. I think that is one of the things yang murahkan lg rezeki flow untuk kami. Ikhlas antara satu sama lain dan sentiasa ada rasa hormat dan integiti. Yups integriti. You do you ni besar makna and konteks dia sbnrnya. Jgn bandingkan diri dgn kwn kwn yg gaji 15k tapi jmpa 3bulan sekali. Rezeki dia sabar berseorangan 3bulan, then dia boleh reap his/her happiness dgn tidur 5d4n hotel St Regis Langkawi. Itu rezeki dia. You do you. Husband dia maybe poket tebal tapi muka tak hensem anak semua ikut muka dia. Itu rezeki dia. You do you. Husband dia kaya raya duit juta juta tapi umur dah 60, kadang kadang boleh bangun kadang kadang langsung tidak..so you do you.

 

Masa masa susah kita cuba juga untuk memudahkan org lain, kalau bukan dgn duit, dengan kudrat, dengan know how kita. Kalau tak boleh memudahkan, cukuplah cuba elak untuk menyusahkan. Betul kadang kadang kita terlalu letih emosi dan tubuh boleh membuat kan hati org lain terluka dgn kata kata kita, jadi sentiasalah terbuka meminta maaf sesama sendiri, dan yg penting, pisahkan urusan kerja dan peribadi..kalau marah dgn org hal kerja, keep it professional, kita marah sebab kerja sahaja tp kalau diluar kerja dia ttp kwn kita, rakan sejawatan kita, ha begitulah


So yeah, konsepnya mudah, do all you can do with all you have and leave it all to the Arrazaq to send His Rizq back to what you deserved. Yang ni saya baru sedar dan baru pegang setelah berperit belajar dari pengalaman lalu. Dan satu juga lagi benda yg saya belajar ttg jgn berkira kira dgn keluarga. Waktu kami ke utara tahun lepas, saya mmg tak limitkan berapa ibu mertua saya nak belanja saya bayar kan saja. You name it, makan ke, kedai ka, even we left my lil brother in law some knowing that he has none, and surprisingly, duit tu mcm ada ja..tak luak luak.mashallah miracle sungguh..Allahuakbar!

 

Moga kisah ni jadi iktibar dan ingatan utk diri sendiri ttg konsep rezeki. Jgn lah dok gelabah ayam kira duit org, pangkat org, jiran mana beli emas ka, kwn mana tukar kereta ka..because you dont know what they had done and gone through to deserve the Rizq of that much.


 Syukur seadanya. Hidup seadanya

 

Love

Stay sane and #visitselangor



Assalam semua! Apa khabar? Kami sekeluarga alhmdulillah sihat sejahtera and masih dilindungi-Nya. Kita cuba bersederhana dan embrace norma baru, whilst keeping our mental health at a good pace. 

Its April already alhmdulillah and Ramadhan is approaching soon. Seminggu ni pun cuti sekolah after 4weeks of physical school. Work is also already going for 100% WIO as the cases are already circa 1000cases/day.. Well still a lot, and our job nature allows us to WFH so why not? 

So, i took a 7days leave just to settle few things to welcome Ramadhan, we had our Ikea trip, did some home improvements (yeah thats an ongoing project never settle with one deco!) and the highlight was our 10+ year old washing machine went caput! That was nearly 1000RM worth to spend on a new one! Tapi dh smpai masanya dah jangka hayat dia sampai situ je..sobs!









 So before we start working again we had one roadtrip to kuala selangor! Maybe we'll have that covered in another blog share. The reason I'm still blogging is that this is actually for my own future reading. Like a mini diary and stories kept for my kids. Iman had still not discovered this blog until now but i guess one day he'll surely appreciate it Inshallah!


 Back to our Kuala Selangor story - we tried the road not taken (no tolls) from BSP to Kg Bukit Cheeding (via Rimbayu) to Telok Panglima Garang. Then Klang- Meru- Kapar - Jeram and Bukit Melawati. It took us 1 hour and 40mins! haha. On the way back waze took us via the new WCE highway back to BSP in 50mins (from Jeram) with a total of RM 5++ toll. It was my first time to Kuala Selangor (well for all of us) and we went up north until Sekinchan and had 1hour pit stop at Pantai Redang. On the way back we had our first try at Aroma Ikan Bakar Jeram- this will also need a blog on its own!

So yeahhh..i guess i need to have this in few parts so that we can enjoy small snippets of stories rather than 1 long haul of all, betul tak? Happy Avril all of you! Enjoy your last bits of Syaaban and welcome Ramadhan! The 4 month i actually know dates of each and every day - Rejab, Syaaban, Ramadhan and Syawal! Still gotta work on that ..haha Well, better that not knowing at all!


Till then peeps,

Love

Ku ingin dicintai

 Assalam peeps,

Kemain tajuk kan? Hahaha..nak tulis sikit luahan hatilah sejak dua menjak ni tak berapa rasa seronok. Rasa tertekan je dengan situasi semasa. Kerja memang sentiasa banyak tu mmg lah adat kita makan gaji. Kalau ikutkan dah dua minggu lebih rasa tak berapa seronok ni. Tapi bukan sebab rumahtangga ke apa..tidak! Alhmdulillah 10thn masih lagi seperti dibulan madu.acehwah. 

Rasa mental stress ni byk dipengaruhi oleh tempat kerja khususnya sbnrnya..tp sebab sekarang 98% bekerja dari rumah, terbawak bawak kestressan tu dkt anak anak. Astaghfirullah.

So kita tulislah sikit sikit, luahkan rasa. Supaya tak jadi kanser dlm hati. Nak luah kan di social media macam tak patut. Kdg2 org yg tah mana mana yg baca. Skrg ni pun i byk tulis dlm status whatsapp je..sampai 24jam ia hilang. mmg suka je dia hilang.jarang nak tulis tulis dlm ig story or fb sebab rs platform platform ni dah terlalu open..terlalu public.jadi tak seronok.

Cerita dia mudah, cerita kita kerja benda boleh buat dan dah terbukti pun boleh buat, tp kita ni muda (muda muda pun takdelah muda sgt), senang je mereka mereka yg baby boomers/earlier X generations ni singkirkan kita, rasa kita ni muda banyak lagi peluang akan dtg, dan letakkan org yang dulu tak setia mana ditempat kita dulu. 


Bila ditanya byklah alasan nya.biasalah siapa nk mengaku salah kan? Cumanya selama dahulu yg org tak cukup kita duduk berkhidmat di tempat kosong tu dgn cemerlang *cemerlang ok* ! tak berapa dihargai.




Tulis sikit lah dulu. nanti kita sambung lagi luahan rasa ni. Tu belum lagi diskriminasi jantina. 

Ya, kdgkala bagus sebab bila kau sorg saja bunga yang dihantar bercerita kisah dan memerintah kilang buat sesuatu yg lain, automatik semua lelaki lelaki yang sebelum ni keras suara (dan hatinya) berlembut. Apa saja perintah diturut dan semua automatik lebih bersopan. Ini realitinya, kuasa wanita yg menggoncang buaian boleh perintah kan perubahan pemasangan dari station atas ke bawah. Rezeki juga ni alhmdulillah..

Ok to be continued..

Love

Time for Tax (claim) again! Cukai pendapatan 2020

 Assalam peeps,

I guess blogging is no longer popular nowadays, but yet for people who just loves to write, we cannot seem to stop right? so yeah..Its March already and i have just completed submitting my e-filing to LHDN. This time around it is quite saddening to just think about all those people out the affected by the pandemic and was paying tax values at 100 thousands each year are now with no income. Sedih kan.

But yeah on the other hand for those with still incomes coming everyone, some with the privileges' of working from home which literally means sleeping from home, some are not even concerned with those less fortunate. The key is actually to feel grateful with what we have and what we could help to others. and yes paying tax/zakat is one of them.

This year's tax relief includes some new items like claimable tourism (domestic travelling) (up to 1000) and additional device claims (Up to 2500).The first 2500 can include any internet subscription, books, magazines, bicycles, shuttlecocks, handphones and all throughout the year. The second 2500 is for devices bought from July 2021 till Dec 2021. So the total round up for lifestyle is up to 5000!  so yeah i got to cut a lot from the actual monthly deduction (PCB) and have some excess to be paid back. Alhmdulillah. This money shall be for the people around me inshallah~



So yeah..lets pay tax (and claim if any ) everyone! And pray he money rolls properly for the better future!!


Love

Last



Last sunset for the decade, alhmdulillah for the lovely journey. Dalam tiap kesempitan ada kelapangan. Tiap tangisan ada kegembiraan. Tiap petaka ada hikmahnya. Tiap kesulitan ada rezeki nya, 

Syukur masih diberikan kesempatan.

Hello November! Long time no see

Its november guys! Halloween deco has already started to change to Christmas setting in some places.I always have a soft spot in my heart for Christmas as its always had been a merry and warm celebration and commemorates a new beginning of the consequent year :)

We celebrated the arrival of our new family addition baby Tasneem end of last month alhmdulillah. Zainab gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last Tuesday and named her Tasneem. Such a beautiful name mashallah..We'll try to make time to meet her tomorrow inshallah. Im just too occupied these days that i feel like hugging a baby and smelling her hair will just soothe all my worries inshallah.

Talking about year end, the kiddos are celebrating hari kanak kanak today at school. Three weeks more left for school before the long holidays yay!!!!!!And i feel like going for a loooong weekend off. Too tired to think and too many things happening at work leaving me stressed out by Friday. We'll see how things goes on and maybe plan for a short getaway inshallah :) Iman will be in standard 3 next year and amsyar in standard 2. Plan to sort out few things with both of them and see how they have achieved.I hate the new system as it is really difficult for me as a working mom to monitor the kids work and what nots by daily basis. Yes, call me a bad mum. I hope all those stay at home mums have equally no time to monitor as well to make us look not that bad.lol.No no just kidding!

Ok then, Just wild ramblings from me. Enjoy your november and the weekend ahead! 

Love,

Zahra

Ps- my parents are celebrating theire 37th anniversary this coming 7th november. Alhmdulillah!

Self challenge


Hi guys

Hows life..I know its October and things are quite rough to meet year end's targets. Ive started a challenge to myself to list 3 simple things that made me happy that day early this month. Well today is day 23 and it is alhmdulillah still consistently being written everyday in my whatsapp status. Yes public! haha. Actually Ive started two challenges this month but lets talk about this one first.








Well, as the name goes, it is as simple as writing 3 things you feel happy/grateful/syukur for the day and it should be continuously written every single day for 41 days consequently to make it a habit. At first yes, its really hard to start with. I was too stressed everyday, i had so many unhappy things happening making it so difficult to write even a single happy thing. But i started with simple things like, i'm happy i woke up breathing today, my kids are happy and healthy, and my husband is beside me. Yes those kinda simple things. And yet it became much more easier by day. And to date, some days i have more than 3 things to be syukur of for the day. Alhmdulillah. 


Well, i am quite aware that by now mental health level of Malaysians is at a very alarming stage. People are too immensely stressed with work related tasks, economical issues, and also unnecessary competitions between kids they have. Everybody wants to be supermom, everyone wants their children gets the best of the best and be the creme of the crop, but this is actually very sickening and in fact the main factor why some fall into the mental disorders without even realizing they are. For me, its better to follow the low and live. Let it be and move on. Be positive, think positively and try by all means to ease other people's way.

 And I pledge to myself to try to heal myself, avoid all stress factors and take this matter seriously for the people i love. Let it be a small start like this :) Keep in mind peeps : I matters. 


So, let keep all writings sweet and simple. may i reach the 41st day of the happy list campaign.
Oh for the 2nd campaign is to achieve 10.000 steps per day challenge. yes that is a whole different thing. so let write it may be in another time.

Happy working uols.

Love 

Zahra

Barely 3 months to 2020!

Assalam and Jumuah barakah everyone :)
Its September already alhamdulillah..we can say we've survived 70% of the year. A roller coaster year with episodes of high blood pressure MCs and emotional events. I can say it has been a rough year.

This month is 11th anniversary with my black 2008 persona WRV and alhamdulillah most parts are still working great since day one. The fuel pump is still its original and unlike most aging cars, he is still strong enough to go up Genting Highlands. We intended to sell it off to close relatives but on a second thought, the cost to maintain this black beauty is almost zero, so let it serve as our back up car in case of any emergencies so yeah, blacky's still with us..yay! I sould not just give off all those memories of all the adventures with this one. From our dating days, throughout three pregnancies and everything in between, this one is a true rough boy! Sadly the management has decided to discontinue the production of this model replacing it with another model not at par..sigh

I actually really need to brush up my English skills and my technical jargon vocabulary. Tahap teruk sgt dah sekarang ni. But all i can say is that the new management really gave us a refreshing new outlook of the company and our visions and missions.

Ok nanti sembang lagi..byk nak tulis tapi masa tak ada.sobs.


Love u guys

Staycation @ Fraser's Hill 2019





Hello everyone! Its August already, the month full of celebrations and merdeka mood. This aidil adha time around upon Mak's request, we went for a short staycation to Fraser's Hill. And to be honest it was my first time there. Hehehe.



 Fraser's Hill is actually a heritage spot with a lot of British Colonial Houses/Bungalows around now became a small township with only around 500 people actually staying here. Others were like us, the people coming for a short stay. However, the township is quite complete with a police station, schools, masjid, clinic and even a post office. 

It is really a place for nature lovers seeking for a peaceful and breezy cold getaway. Located only 2hours drive via Rasa/KKB route, the windy roads uphill was really an adventure on its own, and a lovely green sigjht for forest dwellers. There are quite few nice spots we visited on our stay there. alhmdulillah everything went well and i had a relieve for my stressful past month working.

Still in holiday mood , tho..let the pictures talk for themselves.

We went for some strawberry hunting and ended up there is only one place selling and planting strawberries up there.haha












5 guys and 5 girls.heheh



The icon of the small town




We took the road not taken climbing up Jeriau Waterfalls. Its was really a nice walk into the woods. Cantik! lama tak masuk hutan







Jeriau Waterfalls in the back




Buildings build in the late 1890s

Kids just having fun

Kawsar and Mikhail jumping onto mommylong

Public park down hill









The morning me and hubs went for a nasi lemak hunt


Food stalls and shops are around but very limited.Therefore quite expensive. For me, let it be that way rather than being too commercialized like Cameron Highlands. Let the greens and the calmness offered be there for those loving the calmness and appreciate nature 






At one of the planting homes, giant Hibiscus!

My beloved

And one for the album!



So till then Fraser's Hill, we had a splendid time enjoying our coffee on the cold morning balcony, and freezing night here. We spend our night in the Silver Park Resort Homestay from AirBNB. It was really a cozy house, I'll try to write about it soon, perhaps..


Till then we meet again inshallah! :)




Bye bye !
