80's and the Jeans

Image
Salam. My sister said I've been so 80's (or was it 90's, I kinda forgot already) for being so much in love with denim/jeans outfits. Well, I don't think it made me love them less.  Been wearing denim everywhere.  Makes me feel so ME. Well, until hijabi fashion has somewhat evolved into much better pictures. Now that maxi skirts are within reach, I don't have to be clad in jeans skirt(s) all the time. But old habit dies hard. Call me old fashion, I'm fine with it. I'm in my 30's, may be I am old. Heheheh. Thanks guys, for hanging around. Much love, TPJ.

Get to Know What We Say In Our Prayers

Image
Salam. Juma'ah Barakah everybody..! I feel like sharing about the meanings of our prayers, on which loads of you guys might be experts already.  But as been advocated by the hadith of our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w:  "Convey from me even if only one aayah" So here goes: Takbiratul-Ihram / Takbir Allah Is The Almighty. Allah Maha Besar. Du'a Iftitah (The Opening Du'a) Let's see a much better recitation, shall we, now that we've known the meanings. Al-Fatihah During Ruku' Glory and praise be to my Lord the Most Great. Maha Suci TuhanKu Yang Maha Besar dan dengan segala puji-pujiannya. Standing After Ruku' Verily Allah Listens to one who praises Him. Oh our Lord, all praises be to you. Allah mendengar pujian orang yang memujinya. During I ktidal Oh our Lord, all praises be to you. Wahai Tuhan kami bagi Engkaulah segala pujian. During Sajdah...

When Women Cry, Let Them

Image
Salam. When I wanted to begin this entry and searched for J. Kadison's When A Woman Cries in the you.tube, I found this video. It was a good one, at least I could get something from a man's point of view. And his sincerity was plain to see.  Men and women are meant to be different. To complete one another. But in some areas where the differences are too wide apart, things begin to be in conflict. That needs patience and tolerance and support and every other positive nouns and verbs the vocabularies could offer. The biggest don't is to stop her. Oh no, she won't stop. She CAN'T. Asking her why won't help either. That would only make her cry even harder. Let alone bark and force her to talk it out. That kills her inside. Or worst, hit her (or hit something else, even). That tears her apart.  Buries her alive. She cries because she's alive. She'll stop when she's dead. When she's dead before her time comes, she's the colde...

Pangkor: Never Say Goodbye Island

Image
  Salam. Apart from Langkawi Island in Kedah, I've always loved Pangkor Island in Perak. But the latter is somewhat much easier to go, being only three and a half hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur all the way to Lumut Jetty. From there we took Ferry Shuttle to Pangkor Island. What a lovely way to start off the New Year 2012. Yeah, this thing took place in the first week of January. Magnificent view @ Kota Belanda We chose a cozy and beautiful guest house called the Princess Homestay at Kota Belanda. It was a family trip of 11, from the family members' monthly contributions. We fell in love with the homestay instantly, especially the balcony. We even had our incredible BBQ there. When everyone else was sleeping, I was still at the balcony facing the sea, enjoying Ombak Rindu soundtrack @ you.tube. It was da bomb for me, even though I'd been to Pangkor more than twice beforehand. Staying in the hotel was no way closer to the serenity I felt there in the cozy guest hou...

Being ME (Muslimah Empowered) Conference ~ A Wonderful & Tearful Event

Image
Salam. Now I wanna share with you guys about Being ME (Muslimah Empowered) Conference that took place on Saturday, 30th day of June the year of 2012. This franchise of sisters only event by Mercy Mission was the debut in Malaysia. It received such an overwhelming response that 2,000 sisters showed up and there were not enough seats. Thanks to capable hands and feet of the committee, things got handled smoothly. Alhamdulillah. Congrats and a round of applause...! So, it was such a packed event altogether, with sisters and programs respectively. It was so obvious when you see the toilets and praying rooms flooded with sisters all over Matrade Exhibition Centre. I even decided to pray at a secluded corner nearby the toilet, where they stored loads of tables or something. A few sisters came and asked me how on earth I knew the qiblat direction? I smiled and showed them the above map from my beloved device. They followed suit afterwards, using the same hiding place of mine.  So, what...
