Pengalaman baru

i've been introduce to usrah system since my school years...though my first usrah here in london give me new experience. it was held on weekend,sunday morning at about 11am untill 4pm. we went to usrah together(me and husband) but we had usrah seperately..akhawat one group n ikhwah one group. the intersting part was the wives are all in the akhawat group n the husbands are in the ihkwah group..having usrah at the same time and same place..it just another room. maybe it's common here, but for me this is the first experience. 

All my usrahmate are older than me,either working in london or follow husband working in london,just like me. let me introduce them,..there are 9 of us..cik ina(the owner of the house n also the naqibah),cik hanum from befort,k.chem n k.laila working in london,k.nik dan 2 anaknye, k.aishah from cranfield,k.fiza from cranfield n cik hana(tak dpt hadir). this is also my first experience for usrah online, k.fiza can't attend physically so she's there thru online. we can here her and she involve in the discussion during the usrah..as much as she was there...me tak banyak cakap sgt,bru nak warm up kot,more to listen,watch n learn.

as usual, it start with opening with fatihah n tilawah..the mc for that day have to pick any ayah for tilawah. then, we start to tadabbur the ayah that we read...and so interstingly that everyone have smtg to say(except me) and to ponder about the ayah..and the discussion go on and on untill we realise it takes about an hour of our time. in my previous years in usrah,i never come across to this so interesting session of tadabbur..i think it comes with experience when ppl can link everything happened in life to the verses of Quran and how to take the verses as a reminder for our life...in my head full of thinking,how i miss that point,why i dont see it in that way...huhu sometimes feel that i'm not yet to their level.

then we go on with tafsir mujadilah..finish all the ayah in quite a great detail of explanation n discussion. then we continue for akhbar islami,this we combine with ikhwah n my husband need to present that..it was about the israel as racist regime n comment on the conference of geneva where president iran make an opening speech. after that, a little sharing akhi tahir(husband mcik hanum) on palestinien issues n political condition in mesia. then, continue with discussion on perancangan dakwah di london,more on perkembngn after majlis perwakilan nasional msm 2 minggu lps. sesi combine ni start pkl 1 dan habis dlm pkl 230pm...perut tak ingat punya nyanyi lagu keroncong..tahan2.

then kami solat berjemaah baru makan lunch dlm pkl 3 lebih...time lunch paling best...nasi putih dgn ayam masak kari kalu tak silap n salad...lps mkn nasi smbg desert, ni part yg paling best....kuih seri muka(rindu ma,lama tak mkn kuih mesia), kek coklat, aiskrim, epal pai, lg satu tak igt namanye apa tp mkn ngn custard sdp...mcm kat restoran,di serve one by one.

balik dlm keadaan kenyang smpai rsnye nak jln pun dah tak mampu...alhamdulillah atas rezeki yg diberikan. thanks to cik ina,cik hanum,k.nik and  k.chem for the delicious lunch and pencuci mulut...nyum2.

this week usrah dpt tugasan pertama...mc..tak prepare lg ayat tilawah..and dlm dilema nak g sheffield  ikut cik abg or nak g usrah sbb minggu lps usrah ahd so igt minggu ni ahd gak. tu yg plan g sheffield jumt,sbt..tp apakan daya usrah rupanya hr sbt...waa cane ni..penin2,nnt kne tingal sorang n drive sndiri p usrah di bumi london yg tak berapa nak familiar lg ni..waaaa...

tabahkanlah dirimu wahai manihah..

Ya rabbi yusahhil..

selamat datang ke Cranfield

lunch kami b4 btolak ke cranfield..yg ats tu daging ayam yg dihancurkan pastu buat mcm kebab.mkn ngn sos n roti  sdp. yg bwh tu kambing ngn kentang mskan turki

Pemandangan semasa dlm perjalanan ke cranfield

depan cranfield university

kiri: zaid, niha, k.aishah,k.fiza

kanan: adha(husband k.aishah),k.aishah, niha,zaid

just want to share few pictures when we was in cranfield, ziarah k.aishah md nor n his husband..both were my seniors in uia. diizinkan Allah tuk jumpa k.fiza, akhawat yg study kat situ jugak. k.fiza ni ajak jim ipt selangor,so mmg dah kenal dr mesia lg. kami 3org seusrah kt london ni.

cranfield jaraknya dr willesden green adela dlm 1jam1/2...agak masuk ke kwsn pedalaman..kalu kite kt mesia cam kwsn kmpgla. sbb tu pemandangan cantik n kawasan luas.

k.aishah kata tempat ni famous or org tau wujudnye sbb ada cranfield university n technology park. kemudahan awam susah skit n kalu hr ahad mmg susah nak kuar sbb xde transport awam. kedai terdekat adalah di befort kalu tak silap,kne naik satu bus.

kami pi dgn kreta 2nd hand cik abg baru beli.alhamdulillah,bulehla berjalan jauh dgn kreta ni. nak pi usrah pun senang skit.

ok.tu je kut.

my new career(konon)

ni arman, anak sedara yg sy tlg jg 10am-7pm


i have 2 job/career/things to do now:

1. i'm as a cook
2. i'm as babysitter

as a housewife, i need to cook for my husband n myself of course. during my years in Malaysia i rearly cook bcs i have 'bibik' who always there for you..:) ..miss you bibik. though i always watch her cooking so the info is already there.
here,every morning i will search thru the internet for new recipe which i can try with wht i have at home. i love if my husband can try new menu everyday..hahaha..but its quit difficult to try the recipe bcs sometimes the ingredient is not enough,,so i become more creative in changing the ingredient and use what i have..alhamdulillah he comment that the taste is always good(tak taula kalu nak amek hati)..tp sendiri rasa mcm ok je.

these are some menu that i have tried(yg dh biasa masak mesti tak kisahnye but for me it's a very good achievement in my life)
tomyam ayam
ayam masak lemak cili padi
ayam masak kunyit
telur bistik
chapcai sayur campur
beafsteak peas dan daging
kari ayam

(baru skit try,mskn lain biasa buat kt umh,ni yg first time buat)

hari ni nak try sup daging plak, ble share gamba nnt. masakan lain dh terlepas nak share..hehe

my second job, babysit my anak sedara. umur 1 1/2 tahun. nama pnuh arman darwish shahmi b. suhaimin. orgnye tak banyak kerenah sgt cuma cpt merajuk skit bile kne tegur...yg lain2 ok je...tp mak ngah niha pandai pujuk so kejap je merajuk. tgs babysitter spt biasa,main2,tukar pampers,bagi makan, kasi tido dll. alhamdulillah stakat ni ok. mulanya nak jg secara free je tp k.ida,maknye arman ni tak slesa plak so,dptla 15pound per day...syukur2..alhamdulillah.

a good experience before ada anak sendiri...hehe.

Jalan-jalan p Kota London

18 April,Sabtu

 sepatutnya pegi spring camp dari hr jumaat lg tp sebab demam,batuk n selesema tak jadi pegi. kononnye nak berehat kat umah tp lain plan lain plak yg jd. Maka berjalan2 ke kota london. 1st place pegi makan tghari di Malaysian Hall dekat ape ke nama tempat tu tak igt (husband takde skrg,dia yg tahu sume nama tmpat,saya tau ikut je..huhu). Malaysian Hall bukan embassy tp mcm ofis yg urus student kat sni. ada asrama kat dlm tu ble sewa n kt ground floor ada canteen. terasa duk mesia pabila masuk sbb ramai malaysian kat dlm tu.merasa masakan malaysia...lauk yg diambil-ikan patin masak asam podeh,peparu goreng sambal,sayur goreng-cik abg makan sambal udang potai ngan daging rendang.mmg favourite dia sambal udang...cuba teka harga sume berapa?!...13pound! kalu darab ngan 5 jd RM65..huhu utk lunch 2 org...leps luch solat sat then teruskan naik tube ke green park sbb nak g Buckinghum Palace. 

Park dia lawa,hijau je..sesuaila nama green park..subhanallah....saujana mata memandang. kne jalan melalui green park tu utk smpai ke buckinghum palace...terlihat satu fenomena yg jrg terdapat di mesia......ramai btul org duk berbaring atas rumput beratapkan langit,menikmati cahaya matahari yg terik tp tak panas...agaknye sbb tu org relak je bersantai. kalu kat mesia buat camtu..bepoluh di bueknye,tak pun gelap kulit. park tu luas n imagine setiap tempat yg berumput ada org baring. siap disediakan kerusi santai lg. derang mmg pandai menikmati alam. pokok kt sni besar2 n some sgt unik mungkin berusia puluhan tahun kot.

lepas dah lalu green park,so sampai kat buckinghum palace...ramai betul tourist..mcm2 bahasa dgr slain english. takle pun msk dlm istana tu tapi org duk amek gmba kat pintu pagar luar tu. bedepan ngn palace tu ada mcm statue bosarla jugak. patung org ngan singa etc. kami pun amek gamba gak..dua,tiga,empat lima snap. cik abg tanya larat lg ke nak jln, dia nak bw g tengok roda berpusing yg besar mcm 'eye on Malaysia' tu. tp yg ni lagi besar punya. roger...roger...dia call kwn tanya direction. kne jalan 15 min melalui st.james's park..mmg banyak tmpat santai kat sni.

St.james's park lagi lawa,siap ada kolam yg mcm terusan panjang n ada banyak haiwan yg sgt friendly ngan manusia...burung merpati,itik,angsa,tupai comel etc. jalan2 sambil mkn aiskrim..saya tak mkn,selesema.

lepas park tu kne lalu mcm tgh bandar skit n time tu ada ramai polis, dah cuak dah...apahal plak ni. rupanya de org wat demo aman bantah genocide di sri lanka..adala mamat yg bgi article kat kami. genocide atau pembunuhan beramai2 ni berlaku di mana2 samada muslim atau tak...yg lemah pasti ditindas....kita berkisah tntg saudara kita di palestine rupanya masih ada manusia lain yg turut ditindas. walaupun mereka bukan muslim tp ats dasar kemanusiaan kita seharusnya peduli..betul ke??..nak tau lebih lanjut 'the untold story of sri lanka' sila layari www.srilanka-genocide.org  atau www.unspeakabletruth.info

perjalanan diteruskan dgn agak perlahan sbb pinggang dah sakit n kaki dah lenguh. kami lalu menara jam besar yg mcm kat tengah KL tu,ada nama dia tp tak igtla cik abg sebut apa..lain kali kne rakam kut. lepas tu lalu gereja unik tmpat mendiang lady diana kawin...besar n lawa n antik seni binanya. gereja tu bersambung dgn bangunan parlimen...so basically sgt besar n panjangla bangunan tu. lepas tu lalu jambatan panjg,igt london bridge...tp bukan. jom nyanyi skit lagu kanak2

london bridge is falling down

falling down 

falling down.....

(tak igt smbgnnye:))

kat situ baru nampak roda paris yg bosar tu..dekat tepi sungai thames kalu tak silap cik abg sebut. kami tak naik pun,mahal ma. cuma jalan2 tengok2 org, amek2 gamba. Muslims pun ramai,pakistani,arabs..pak arab selamba je pakai uniform dia jubah putih ngan ketayap,wife dia pakai jubah hitam berpudah..relaks je...negara bebas..hehe. area situ mcm theme park kat genting(tak penah g tp org duk crita)..mcm2 permainan de,umah hantu,aquarium a.k.a aquaria klcc, tmpt main permainan video n yg masuk2 duit tu,mesin slot(1st time masuk tp hati rasa tak sedapthen cepat kuar). kami rehat jap,org lain makan sedap2 tp kami tengok je..huuhu..takde yg halal ma. dah hilang penat kami pun balik...

pengalaman di negara org,jauh berjalan luas pandangan/pemandangan........
