Ameerah Care Ramadhan 2023

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

 

Assalamualaikum. Updating our annual program - Ameerah Care, donations are collected and distributed among 3 Dun in Gombak. 


Meetings of course started earlier, i think since last year - and when the program is around the corner, we meet up more regularly and the most crucial part is the fund. 


Alhamdulillah we managed to receive the expected amount and made it easier to distribute the goods and cash to 30 recipients as targeted. 


The night before, we gathered and prep whatever is left and did some final touch up and briefing before the next day. 





The day of the event; 

I was assigned with k dila, khai & aisyah and our destination - Hulu Klang. 












Alhamdulillah.


Ramadhan Mubarak

Monday, March 11, 2024

 

Assalamualaikum. 




Sharing this list i found on the internet. 




Tak dapat buat semua, jangan tinggal semua.


Sempena Ramadhan yang mana di dalamnya ada satu solat sunat yang tidak ada pada bulan-bulan yang lain yakni Solat Sunat Tarawih, jom kita azam untuk usahakan terawih setiap malam. 


Tak dapat solat di masjid/surau, boleh solat di rumah. 


Tak dapat solat berjemaah, boleh solat sendirian. 


Tak tahu nak baca macam mana zikir antara rakaat tu, boleh refer di buku atau search sahaja di internet. Ada masjid yang tak baca selawat antara rakaat, contohnya masjid uia yang jemaahnya dari pelbagai negara. 


Hukum solat tarawih - sunat muakkad (yang sangat dituntut).





Received this from Ustzh Zuliana @tarbiahkreatif few years back and has been using this every year since hehe so helpful tqq :)


InshaAllah semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan kita bersama. Selamat berpuasa :)


Sherlock Holmes TV Series

Tuesday, February 06, 2024

 

Hi all. 




During the break, I indulged myself in a TV series and it was extremely good and i actually repeated it already :D


As an avid Sherlock Holmes book series fan, I previously have zero interest in watching the series based on the book, for the similar reason for all books to movies adaptation. And when i took myself to watch the first episode of this series, however it did no dissappoint. Only then i knew that there were few various series made on the subject at different period of time and actors. The one that i watched led by Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson, the loyal companion. 


There are altogether four seasons along year 2010-2017 and one special movie titled The Abominable Bride in 2016. One season only entailed three episodes. 


Here are my reviews: 


1. Since there are hundreds of stories on Sherlock Holmes, the series did not produce similar story lines to the episodes to suit the series


2. Each episode is 1.5 hours long and one story line or title per episode and not continuous to the next


3. Prof. Moriarty in the book is no professor in the tv series. He's just Moriarty the villain 


4. Sherlock got a brother, Mycroft Holmes who played a central role in the series, which is not as in the book


5. Mrs Hudson cast is just perfect. Loved her!


6. Dr. Watson in the series played himself just like in the book. Loved it too!


7. Mary @ Mrs Watson played a central role too in the series - whilst in the book it is not so. Later on, i found out that she was actually married to Dr.Watson in real life haha


8. Irene Adler who was assumed as the only woman Sherlock loved in the book also made appearance in the series, but only in one episode i think 


9. In the book, Sherlock was presumed dead during the fight with Moriarty and yes in the TV series, he was made dead for two whole years before he reappeared


10. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard actor also was spot on. Loved him!


11. One role that is not in the book but played a great role in the series is Molly Hooper, the lab assistant. 


12. I would have question if what was being said by Sherlock was too good or ah, how could a guy be like this; but since i read the book first - that was made possible and i questioned it not haha




That's it. Happy watching!


Hamilton joins Ferrari

Saturday, February 03, 2024

 

Okay. Be calm. 



I don't know how to react to this news. 


Some days before, some F1 news reporter were saying there'll be a massive news by the end of the week. People were speculating - Seb returns etc but i was not freaked out knowing Lewis will always be at Mercedes. 



Thursday morning, rumors surfaced that Lewis is going to Ferrari in 2025. (He still has contract with Mercedes in 2025). Nah, that's not gonna happen. Lewis said many many times about loyalty and i always imagined him retiring with his team. 


But, the rumors seemed so strong, not baseless, many authorized news reporting and they dont usually post rumors. Hmm. Reporters were at Brackley that morning and there was an emergency employees meeting with Toto and James Allison and Toto himself through a video call (meaning the meeting was urgently planned). 


Huh, 'twas nerve-wrecking and i personally dont wanna believe this. Please no, Lewis. 


At the same time, (still no official from both sides) - SkyNews F1 already broadcasted a special live discussing this and they won't do it if it is not true. 


Haha i supposed all of us were refreshing X to get news or any announcements - then at midnight (MY time), there came the official announcement from Mercedes AMG followed by Ferrari :0


Official from Mercedes account.


Official from Scuderia Ferrari account.


Yeah. It took some time to process this shocking information..


Some snapshots on this chaos..

Peter Bonnington (Bono) is Lewis' race engineer from the day he started at Mercedes and the question now is whether Bono will move with Lewis (we all hoped he will pls Bono)


We need 'Lewis, it's hammertime'.
---


Same Bono same. We checked the date too hahah



First lesson is I just know the Ferrari HQ is in Maranello, Italy haha



Statement from the man himself two days later..




Engagements on the internet following the news..



The achievements so far from the GOAT of Formula 1



That's all. Bye. 


Now waiting for the livery reveal on the 14th and first race of the season, Bahrain GP






Jaulah Tarbawiyyah to KOMTAQ

Saturday, January 27, 2024

 

Assalamualaikum. 


On 25th Jan, I joined a jaulah to Kompleks Tahfiz Al-Quran Al-Qaradhawi (KOMTAQ) in Temerloh, Pahang. 'Twas on Thursday, public holiday for Thaipusam and since we are very close to the kuil, we were reminded beforehand to plan the route to avoid heavy traffic to the gathering point, PKG. 



So, around 7.15 am i departed from home and was surprised to see the traffic was okay. Good. The bus started off from gombak as planned, at 8 a.m and the committee distributed our breakfast on the bus (bihun goreng sedap+karipap+kuih2 sampingan). Haha there was a lot of food. 



We arrived at 10 am and were escorted to the auditorium. I was amazed and jakun kejap sebab dia punya audi tu adalah for sitting. Nice.

 


We were welcomed with nyanyian nasyid from the students (Banat), welcoming speech from the mudir - YB Ust Kamal (Ahli Parlimen Kuala Krau) 



The speech was touching - Ustaz shared many things on various topics including his experience so far as a member of the parliament. 


Dalam perjuangan, paling penting adalah keikhlasan. Bila duduk dalam jemaah, wajib akur arahan pimpinan. 


Di negara kita, masih ramai orang yang sangat susah sehinggakan guna kain perca (bukan napkin) sebagai kain lampin anak.  


Nak jadi kaya, jangan masuk politik (Almarhum TGNA) 


Close to 12 noon, we wrapped up and took some photos and headed for jalan-jalan sekitar kompleks and lunch. 


I was asked to snap some pics, so i did. 

Off we went to lunch ikan patin (yum yum) 


Lauk ikan patin is something I like and mom used to cook it at home too, patin tempoyak but i have never had pais patin before so this is the time to try it. 

Verdict? Emm, sorry but i dont like the taste so i'll stick with my patin tempoyak but of course i finished it tak baik membazir. 



Full alhamdulillah. 


Next agenda is Jamak Zohor Asar at the mosque and slot with Ustazah Nafisah @ K. Icah. She was our Naqibah in Gombak before she moved here for good, developing and managing this kompleks. 



We dispersed at about 3 pm i think and took last snap of photos. These might be similar pose but different shots haha so i just upload a bunch altogether 


Actually, at the kompleks - there are also pondok moden, the elderly people who stayed there in the individual small houses (pondok) free of charge. They only have to pay for the electrical bills. This kompleks also did not charge any amount to all the students in the early days when it opened but some ppl just took advantage of it - after covid or maybe during the covid, students have to pay fees. 


KOMTAQ is dedicated to produce students who are not only al hafiz and al hafizah but Syahadah Tahfiz Al Quran. They have no academic syllabus except for BM and BI and the youngest student is 10 years old. Those who wanna sit for SPM, they'll have teachers coming to the kompleks to teach. Any disciplinary issues like mencuri, student will be taken to the balai polis and sent home without warning (already mentioned upon registration). 







Last but not least..



I was trying to take a photo with the word komtaq behind but only managed to get the letter Q sebab ramai tengah bergambar okay la


With Wassem, he was a small boy then, following along K Icah to usrah 


5pm bertolak dari kedai borong (forgot the name) and headed back to Gombak. Alhamdulillah safely arrived at 7pm. Traffic was fine and i stopped by at Baker's Cottage and Zus to grab my dinner. 



Iced Shaken Double Espresso less sugar my fav


That's all for now. Bye.
