Playing Tourist Guide In London

Assalamu'alaikum. This time we went to London with different family friends and Junior didn't get to spend time with his best buddies like the previous 2 years. He obviously didn't really bother much about the must-see places for he's done all of that before, so I was extra attentive to him and him alone. Yeah, you've gotta manage a kid's mood well to have a splendid holiday, mind you. I'm not gonna affix here all the hundreds of photos taken but a few. Yet still, bear with me please.

We rented a serviced apartment nearby Canary Wharf Tube Station, a walking distance of approximately 15 minutes if you're moving in a group of 6 Asians, that is. After some time of not getting used to cold weather, it was bitter the first day we were there - especially to Junior and I. The end of fall and beginning of winter it was considerably too cold at 5 degrees in the morning. And the wind was Masya Allah, very challenging, which was later learned to be some monsoon typhoon or something.  My 2 years out-dated Moroccan coat of Zara really served the purpose, Alhamdulillah. And when I went to get a new one at the Oxford Street the following days I didn't find anything that caught my eyes. And coincidentally, the 2nd day we were there the Duchess of Cambridge, stunning Kate  Middleton had to endure her famous Marilyn Monroe moment when her pleated skirt was blown by the strong wind, outcasting her pretty legs. 


Anyways, I was far from having my skirt blewn but heck, I somehow lost the most beloved red muffler of mine later in the evening at the Oxford Street. Blame it on the wind again? Nope. I dropped and lost it in a blink of an eye at the crowded Primark. What a real turn off..! So, this post is a tribute to the pretty muffler I got in a store at Pavilion Bukit Bintang together with my brother and sister earlier on. I guess that's why it holds a special sentiment in my heart. 







Yeah, Junior preferred to get jiggy with the nature to seeing the London Bridge or Buckingham Palace yet again. But he had been repeatedly reminded that we were supposed to play some tourist guides there, of which he somewhat understood. So long as he could get to take pictures with the birds and the swans and the leaves at the nearby park. 

Sorry for such a general post, dearest. Thanks anyways for dropping by, appreciate it so much! Till we meet again, do take take. Assalamu'alaikum.

Mematikan Setem Hasil Di Hadapan Pesuruhjaya Sumpah

Assalamu’alaikum. Okay, dalam banyak-banyak perkara tentang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah, bab mematikan setem ni aku nak kongsi dengan korang semua. Kita buat dalam bentuk rumusan fakta sudah la, ya? 1- Setem Hasil: RM10 sekeping, beli kat mana2 pejabat pos. Ada sesetengah Pesuruhjaya Sumpah dah beli siap-siap, standby kat ofis kot-kot la orang datang berkehendakkannya. Tapi jangan kecewa, marah atau tak puas hati kalau takde tau, sebab itu bukan tanggungjawab dia. Kira value-added service. 2- Dokumen apa yang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah boleh matikan setem hasil ni? Bukan semua dokumen, ya, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan. TIGA jenis je pun:  -i- Afidavit;  -ii- Surat Akuan Berkanun (a.k.a Akuan Sumpah); atau -iii- Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis.  Dengan syarat Afidavit, Surat Akuan Berkanun dan Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis itu ditandatangani dan diangkat sumpah di hadapannya. 3- Cara mematikan setem, takde cop2 bulat bagai macam kat LHDN tu, ya... kena buat dua palang kat luar dan sebahagi

Dress Code Peguam Muslimah

Assalamu’alaikum. Kali ni aku nak cerita pasal dress code bagi peguam syari’e di negara tercinta kita, Malaysia. Straight forward je sebenarnya:  1- Bertudung putih/kelabu; 2- Berbaju warna gelap, berkain hitam; 3- Blazer berwarna hitam; dan 4- Jubah khas (kes di hadapan hakim Mahkamah Tinggi & Rayuan). Pendek kata, itulah warna asas selagi mana menjadi peguam: MONOCHROME to the max! Majoriti peguam syari’e wanita lebih selesa memilih untuk memakai sepasang baju kurung berwarna ataupun bernada hitam. Macam aku pulak tengok mood, ada masanya lengkap 1 sut blazer dan skirt labuh, dipadankan dengan blaus putih/hitam paras bumper. Ada masanya aku pakai baju kurung macam orang lain, ye la ikut mana yang sesuai dengan kehendak hati.  Dulu kami tak boleh pakai tudung lain kecuali warna putih, punyalah bosan tahap cipan hari-hari macam kaler taik cicak. Sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni, Arahan Amalan Mahkamah Shariah dah perluaskan kebenaran warna kepada kelabu. Barulah ada variasi sik

Onak, Duri & Ranjau Kehidupan

Hidup tak selalunya indah. Adat la, langit pun tak selalunya cerah. Penuh cerita suka dan padat cerita duka. Itu la pun yang mewarnai kehidupan.  Lumrahnya, semua orang nak selalu bahagia, kalau boleh. Tak mau ada duka ataupun air mata. Nak ketawa dan bergembira sentiasa. Tapi hakikatnya berbeza. Harapan lain. Kenyataannya lain. Takde pilihan pun sebenarnya, mau tak mau kena telan, kena terima apa adanya. Yang mendewasakan kita itu la dia.  Kadang-kadang kepedihan yang kita rasa macam tak mungkin ada hujungnya. Itu tahap pertama. Pada permulaannya. Disebabkan tak ada pilihan, kita tetap melangkah. Ya, mungkin longlai. Mungkin juga bagai tak jejak kaki ke bumi. Tapi masih perlu terus melangkah. Dan melangkah. Tanpa sedar, kepedihan itu kian menipis. Hari berganti hari. Bulan berganti bulan. Tahun berganti tahun. Waktu akan memulihkan. Percayalah. Apa yang paling penting adalah kekuatan jiwa. Tanpa itu, hampir mustahil untuk mengawal perasaan, apa lagi keadaan. Carilah apa sahaja
