Laundry Room
I finally got my way in acquiring a new dryer from the husband after the old one died on us a few days back. I have always wanted this new dryer as unlike the old one it has an electrode sensor that reads the actual wetness of clothes and sets the optimal drying time and temperature. It emits water unlike most dryers (like my old one) which emits hot air. Oh did I say it has an 8kg load and it’s energy saving? You must think I’m crazy getting worked up over something like this. Mind you getting a new household appliance, is a homemaker’s life saver aka dream come true.
With the new dryer coming it also gives me an opportunity to re-revamp my laundry room aka bathroom. Yeap it’s a 2 in 1 room for me. I already have an idea what I want to do. I just need to convince the mister as he’s the one who’s going to do the heavy duty job of installing the what nots. Or if he’s agreeable we could get a made-to-order one complete with installation. Heh. My main aim was to minimise cluttering in this room. Not that there was much clutter. I just want to make the room look neater and more organised or rather giving the room a room to breathe. In other words I just want it different. Googled a few ideas.
School’s OUT
The holidays are here again. One month of bliss. One month of non-chauffering duties. I welcome thee with open arms. No more early scream wars with the girls. I could not ask for more. Shall catch up on sleep. ZZzzzzzzz
Rejab
We welcome the month of Rejab of the Islamic Calendar today. I am proud to be fasting. They say Rejab is one of the 4 sacred months. The other 3 are Zulkaedah,Zulhijjah and Muharram. Fighting and committing sins are most forbidden during this period.
I quote from a source..
Riwayat Al-Thabrani dari Said Bin Rasyid : “Barangsiapa berpuasa sehari di bulan Rejab, maka ia laksana berpuasa setahun, bila puasa 7 hari maka ditutuplah untuknya pintu pintu nereka jahanam, bila puasa 8 hari dibukakan untuknya 8 pintu syurga, bila puasa 10 hari. ALLAH akan mengabulkan semua permintaannya.” Barangsiapa mengingatkan orang lain tentang ini seakan ibadah 80 tahun .InsyaAllah
In brief, whoever fasts for a day it’s like fasting for a year. And if he fasts for 7 days the gates of hell would be closed for him. And if he fasts for 8 days the 8 gates of heaven would be opened for him. And if he fasts for 10 days, ALLAH would grant anything that he wished for. And if he reminds another of this, it’s like granting him 80 years of worship to ALLAH.
Thus my fellow sisters and brothers, let us all welcome this month of Rejab with open arms. InsyaAllah we will be rewarded.
A New Addition
The smell of minyak telon (malay traditional baby oil) fills the air welcoming a new addition to the Muhammad Noor household. My nephew Luq Maquil Muhammad Erwin was born on the 11th of May after a nearly 48 hour battle. It was well worth the wait as he is the most cutest and sweetest baby I’ve seen by far (other than my own kids) that is. Weighing at 2.8kg, he has brought much joy till this day to his first time parents.
Congratulations Huda and Erwin once again for bringing a much blessed lil one to this world.
POSH
It definately lives up to its name and the designer behind it. The famous Victoria Beckham.
COLOURS
Love to inject colours into my everyday outfits or rather what the people in instagram would say #OOTD or outfit of the day. Since it’s Spring and Summer and bold colours are making a comeback, this was what I have come up with by far.
The Avengers
Did I say I just absolutely L.O.V.E The Avengers? So much so that we’re thinking of watching it another time, this time in 3D. My personal favourite would have to be well I have 2 actually Captain America and Thor. I would be lying if I say I don’t like them for their hot bods hahaha. So anyway looking forward to the next sequel. Hoping that this time Natalie Portman would make her appearance and inject a bit of romance into the movie.
