Nur Kasih Ep 14
Ok this series does not need an introduction,everybody loves Nur Amina except me.Please lah let Kat and Adam get back together.Katrina sacrifies everything while Nur just sit and do nothing except nangis and nangis(habis la kene marah dgn peminat Nur=p). But in order to win hati rakyat Malaysia,a typical Malay drama should end with Adam lives happily ever after with Nur,tolong la jgn begitu,bosan =p.Who's with me?

off traveling back to Augsburg,trip to Rothenburg ob der Tauber,Anniversary dinner and Ramadhan Mubarak

Huhu panjangnye tajuk :p
Just bare with me,i'm in the mood to blog.Anniversary is the time of the year.It holds more significance than my own birthday,so i better write this down.

Tuesday: Took a cab @ 330am to Victoria and then a coach to Stansted.Yerp,hear me right,it's 330AM.Sgt letih+mengantuk,so i turned into one cranky bunny,bukan baby jer moody kalau x cukup tido tau :p kesian hubby,but he's lucky enough i didnot ask to be carried.We were on different flights though.His departed an hour earlier,but when i got to see him again few hrs later at Munich Airport,rase macam lamenye tak jumpe:p.Mengade kan?biasalah, kededek my middle name.We safely arrived rumah Augsburg by noon.

Wednesday: Anniversary-Day!Since we're still exhausted,malas nak jln jauh.Initial plan was Lindau(BodenSee kot),tapi we changed it to Rothenburg ob der Tauber,a very very nice medieval city,and it's just 2.5hrs from Augsburg.I just love this old town!Beautifully ornamented Patrican houses are every where and very well preserved.Just look at these photos,the buildings are just lovely kan?The not-so-nice thing about this trip was our connection train was verspaetung(delayed) for more than an hour and we were stranded at this God-knows-where pekan cowboy,seriously rase macam Texas. Thanks to DB,by the time sampai rumah, semua kedai dah tutup(all shops closed @8pm).So no special dinner on this super special day,share sekotak instant pasta je kami huhu,kesian kan?

Rothenburg's Schneeball(snowballs)

Thursday: In this scorching summer heat,i would detest any cooking that required more than half an hour to prepare.Mandi kat dapor nanti.So,we just go for something simple but delectable like these.......

Starter: Hot honey wings(tak pedas pon;p)

Main: Grilled Lemon Chicken with Radish salad,Sweet Corn and Ciabatta
(ciabbata nie beli siap,buat sendiri mau 3 jam baru siap:p)

Dessert: Apple Crumble with Custard

Ramadhan Mubarak

Kami dah start berpuasa hari nie(jumaat),awal lah sehari dari London and Msia. Semoga Ramadhan ini dirahmati Allah dan lebih baik dari sebelum2 nya.After 2 tahun puasa kat Msia semula(2006/2007),this time berpuasa jauh lagi.Of course saya rindu berpuasa di Msia,but somehow puasa di perantauan nie,byk pembaziran dpt dielakkan.No expensive ramadhan buffet or pembaziran di pasar ramadhan berlaku.So let spend and eat wisely,hayati nikmat berpuasa.Allah wishes us to make use of the blessing He creates,but forbids us to waste them.

Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travelers but do not squander what you have. Squanderers are brothers to the satans, and satan was ungrateful to his Lord. (Surat al-Isra’, 26-27)

Selamat Berpuasa:)

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

a very nice medieval old city.
eh got to go.masak lunch dulu.sambung lepas nie.

3rd wedding anniversary

Dear hubby,
I don't know how are we going to be in the next 20 or 50 years,but i will definitely love you each and every single day for the rest of my life.Happy 3 rd anniversary dek!

Does your hubby let you cut his hair?

Mine does!Ever since err kami kawen kot :p
All i need is a hair clipper.
Make sure you got a good one,karang rosak tgh potong rambut,botak sebelah lah hubby kamu:p
Which style is not a problem since hubby always goes for Wentworth Miller's cut,so i just need to shave his whole head huhu.
Easy for both parties is not it?Hubby does not have to worry about molding his hair pagi2.
Nak potong once a week pon takde masalah,jimat lalala.

Update without gambar adalah bosan and since sgt malas bawak camera,these are the latest(and most decent!) photos dlm camera.Here goes,an afternoon at the Regents Park's Rose Garden.London has a number of parks and Regents Park is one of the finest.We are trying to avoid crowded places macam high street(ok i mean oxford st:p) and flea markets,jadi weekend kami berguling di park;)

Islamophobia: Killed for wearing Hijab?

The whole world mourns Michael Jackson's death but have you heard of Marwa el-Sherbini?
Al-fatihah to Arwah and you can read her full story here
Owh donot start with jgn sebab nila setitik,rosak susu sebelanga.Or alaa,Malaysia pon tak aman jugak.
What if the situation is reversed,say the victim was a Westerner,rasa2 nya satu dunia heboh!The fact is,the hate crimes against Muslims are forever overlooked by the Westeners!
Here's a similar case reported in the States but the lady was lucky --->Man says threats against Muslims were to 'defend America'.

Let me share my experience,might be nothing compared to those 2 ladies' deadly nightmare but somehow made feel so closed to them.
1.Back in the States, penah kene shout to take off my scarf as i was passing by an American frat.
Lepas tue penah juga sampai 3 kali kene bukak scarf kat airport.
2.Last month in Paris,when we're lost while looking out for Metro station somewhere near Pampidou,a very kind sister came over and offered to lead the way.I hesitated at first because i was afraid she might missed her bus.But she insisted (and of course missed her bus) because according to her,that area is unsafe for Muslims.Takot pulak dgr so saya setuju lah.
3.Kat Munich Hauptbahnhof(railway station)pulak,pernah dlm ramai2 manusia tue,police tahan daku pulak nak check passport**konon random pick**.Hubby dan saya baru turun train from Augsburg and that train shared the same platform dgn train from Zurich.So police2 tue nak sedapkan hati saya,die ckp die ingat saya naik train Zurich (from Swiss so kene la check passport).Tipu!Kalau dari Zurich takkan la tak bawak luggage or at least backpack, macam la tatau pilih sebab pakai tudung =(

It was while Marwa el-Sherbini was in the dock recalling how the accused had insulted her for wearing the hijab after she asked him to let her son sit on a swing last summer, that the very same man strode across the Dresden courtroom and plunged a knife into her 18 times.

Her three-year-old son Mustafa was forced to watch as his mother slumped to the courtroom floor.

Even her husband Elvi Ali Okaz could do nothing as the 28-year-old Russian stock controller who was being sued for insult and abuse took the life of his pregnant wife. As Okaz ran to save her, he too was brought down, shot by a police officer who mistook him for the attacker. He is now in intensive care in a Dresden hospital.

While the horrific incident that took place a week ago tomorrow has attracted little publicity in Europe, and in Germany has focused more on issues of court security than the racist motivation behind the attack, 2,000 miles away in her native Egypt, the 32-year-old pharmacist has been named the "headscarf martyr".

Sherbini, a former national handball champion, and Okaz, a genetic engineer who was just about to submit his PhD, had reportedly lived in Germany since 2003, and were believed to be planning to return to Egypt at the end of the year. They were expecting a second child in January.

Unemployed Alex W. from Perm in Russia was found guilty last November of insulting and abusing Sherbini, screaming "terrorist" and "Islamist whore" at her, during the Dresden park encounter. He was fined ¤780 but had appealed the verdict, which is why he and Sherbini appeared face to face in court again.

Even though he had made his anti-Muslim sentiments clear, there was no heightened security and questions remain as to why he was allowed to bring a knife into the courtroom.

They said that although there was no question that the attack was racially motivated, the debate in Germany had concentrated more on the issue of the lack of courtroom security. "I think the facts speak for themselves," Kramer said.

The victim's brother, Tarek el-Sherbini, labelled Germany as a "cold" country when interviewed by a popular talk show host. Media pundits such as Abdel Azeem Hamad, editor of the daily al-Shorouk newspaper, have attributed the western media's disinterest in the story to racism, arguing that if Sherbini had been Jewish the incident would have received much greater attention.

Another Sunday in London

Okla,Federer got his 15th Slam title.
But i believe everyone agrees that Roddick played very well too.
Such a thrilling and exciting game kan?Final set was 14/12,pressure sungguh!
Thanks to Wii,tennis is now my so called favorite sport hahaha.
Tennis Wii sport dah,Virtua Tennis is on going,and hubby akan bawa Grand Slam's cd soon!
So abg,can i have that tennis dress and skort i fwded to you too?=p


Wimbledon's wave might be over,but not the heat wave!
It's freaking hot here!Sekarang sudah rindu rumah Augsburg,which is a bit cooler and relaxing than boiling and exhausting London neh.
Last trip was my first flight with Ryanair.Hubby and i dpt ticket 1 quid(one way),rezeki!No other extra charges sebab tak check in luggage pon.True that Ryanair goes to secluded airport,but for me,there's nothing much to complain.
You got what you're paying,isn't it?If you're looking for a comfort and less hassle journey,ryanair is absolutely not for you.It was not that bad for us since the Memmingen Airport is as far as Munich Airport from Augsburg and the flight journey was only 1.5 hrs.So finelah tak mkn dlm flight pon kan?

One of my To Dos in Augsburg was to bergambar for Salam Perantauan.
This Aidilfitri is going to be my fifth raya abroad so 5 kali la muka masuk utusan hihi.
Tapiiii,tgk2 kat Augsburg tade baju kurung pulak.Nak hantar gambar bawah nie takot utusan reject pulak =p.
Takpe,it's still too early pon.... hehh over sgt,ganti puasa pon tak habis lagi =p

Summer(Sale) is here!

My supervisor caught me browsing through Selfridges webbie in the lab today kekeke.
Summer sale has just started,tak boleh la tak kisah cikgu:p
Lepas nie habis la keluar segala excuse kenapa beli itu ini huhu.

I had mild fever earlier this week and i blamed the weather,"too hot" i said.
Tapi hari nie, i saw this one crop jacket on sale,terus beli without a second thought heee.
Hubby tanye "Bila nak pakai?kan dah summer".
Saya jawab "hari nie sejuk balik dah"
tipu sunat :p

Senah Pot Pet

This little girl can really talk!!But of course in her own language la kan hahaha.
Hubby said he wont be surprise if our baby gets this far later,sebab maknya nie Senah Pot Pet
(Facebook Quiz: Real Msia Name) hahahaha.

Paris(Day 1)

1.Departed from London St Pancras Station by Eurostar @752am.The journey to Gare Du Nord was about 2.5hrs.2.Checked in,solat and rehat.Went out an hour later to Le Louvre,home of Mona Lisa.Surprisingly there was no queue at all,maybe dah ptg kot. Paid 9 Euro for a 10 seconds glimpse

3.Kebab for lunch @one of the halal cafe 2 blocks away from the Louvre.Garmin did help,thanks.
3.Next in the list was Arc de Triomphe tapi tersesat!!hahahaha.We passed by Pampidou Center(Modern Art) and Hotel de Ville and saw a huge screen on the esplanade for the Roland Garros French Open,hubby pon sempat layan kejap.Then we walked over the Seine to the Notre Dame: Only one man can save Esmeralda-Quasimodo :p
5.Arc de Triomphe:What amazed us was the traffic,not the arc haha.12 exits without a single traffic light?I bet it's the toughest(and prettiest) roundabout!6.Eiffel Tower: The queue was reasonable,maybe sebab dah ptg.Believe me,you would want to avoid morning queue,semua org mau pegi pagi!okie,nanti sambung ;)
