How many 10years?

Has it ever occur to you, how many 10years you could have in your life? Its been passing me twice only. As much as it sounds, 10years does set a very big margin of what happened in ones particular life.

When I was 10, I dreamt that after 10years, I’ll be in uni doing my Sports Science course, playing netball everyday, having a steady boyfriend whom I should get engaged to when I’m 25, had debit card on my own, living in my own apartment, will actually knows how to cook proper meal, not just maggie and fried eggs or fried nuggets. I also imagined, I’ll be having closets full of nice dress and made me look pretty. And that when I’m at that age, mom won’t have the big-eye-stares looking at me wearing make up or ch”oosing my own clothes?

Lol. Between those dreams.. there are reality that I have got to put up in the past 10years++ of my life. You see, dreams are inputs. But the output are always reality.

In reality, the next time that 10years hit me.. I do have debit card on my own, but I learned that you can’t just swiped it everywhere without having anything in your account. I have my own apartment, but I learned that its really hard to keep things balance, between what you got to do and the house you got to keep. I learned that, money matter in all these.

I didn’t get to play Netball everyday, and I didn’t end up doing a degree in Sports Science. Instead, I’m a future Security Analyst. IT professions. Something that I never dreamt of 10years ago.

I’m not yet engaged.

But I can cook proper meals, whatever I desire to eat (but again it all depends if I have the money to buy it from the store).

I have closets full of clothes, my own choice! But mom still thinks make up isn’t good. I begins to think so too.

Well, now that I’m halfway to the 3rd 10years of my life. I think I dream to be married by that age. Hahah. And successfully graduated from my masters degree, be working already, have my own car? Went to atleast 5countries for vacations and still plays netball?

Let’s hope I still blog that time and I’ll tell you all what’s it like then. How about you? How many 10years have you had in your life?

I have a very weird dream!

I was awakened earlier this morning by a very weird dream. The thought of it scares me, that i wake up and wash my face and really look outside the window peeping the sun that still shines brightly.

I saw a weird UFO like object on the sky, and it was sucking people inside it. In that chaos, I heard a voice deep within telling me to read the syahadah (a vow, that muslim says to mark them as the believers) “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger.” I kept reading the syahadah repeatedly. At the same time, im constantly trying to convince myself that I’m dreaming.

All of a sudden, I felt light. It feels hot and in my indecisive state of mind, I open my eyes; I saw a very large open field – desert look-a-like. With few pebbles of sands that is very rough and hard when I touched them. There, I was seated among those people who wears clothes. Shabby. And I looklike I havent showered for days.

Imagine how sinful I feel. A sudden rush of regrets hits me instantly! Is this the day of judgement?

Then, hundreds of people infront of me were queuing nakedly, and looking like they are being punished. With a tall creature, not like any alien we’ve seen in movies.. but somehow with a few sights of wings on their back. Covered like in feathers of birds, huge and tall carrying a rope that they were hitting those naked people. I heard the cries. Feels the pain, and the hotness of the Sun, which feels like a metre apart from above my head.

Astaghfirullah. Subhannallah Ya Rabb! I wake up, feeling scared of it being Friday (as I remembered being told that the Quran says our final day, will be the best of the day, Friday) But still thank you Allah, for giving me another day. That it is definitely NOT this Friday! And tomorrow, is 10 Muharram. Lets do our fasting for the day of Assyura?

The Syahadah

My Recipe: Lamb steak with black-pepper sauce

The Lamb steak

Tonight we had dinner with the delicious lamb steak as shown in the picture above. I’m going to teach you how I made it step-by-step. Well, picture no.1 shows you the marination process. and picture no.2 is the sauce.

1. Marination ingredient:
– Salt & Sugar (1 teaspoon each)
– Tumeric 1 tbsp
– Aniseed powder 1tbsp
– Ginger powder 1tbsp
– Garlic powder 1tbsp
– Blackpepper 1tbsp
– Lemon juice (about 2tbsp, this is to eliminate odour)
– Rosemary 1tbsp (just sprinkle around and pat it softly on the meat)
Then, you can leave the marination for atleast 30mins before you start making the sauce.

2. The sauce:
– Onion, 2garlics, 1tomato, 1inch ginger, chilli (blend all this)
– 2tbsp of Oyster Sauce
– 2tbsp of Sweet Soy Sauce
– 1tbsp of Black pepper
– 1inch Cinnamon Stick
– Salt & sugar to taste
First, pour a little oil to stir fry all of the ingredients above, then add on a little water (the water level should be just above the meat once its put in the pot) Once its boiled, you can leave the lamb steak to simmer for about 30-40mins and don’t forget to flip the steak with intervals of 5-10mins. (Keep checking if you don’t have a non-stick pot)

Then, you will get the result as picture no.3.. I sprinkled few fried onions on top of my steak to garnish it. You could use parsley if you wished to. Well, Voila! Dinner is ready~~~~ With that, I want you all to know that..

Pray for Gaza

Friends in the social networks been posting up their statuses about praying for Gaza, Palestine. Hear and says about the Israelis are killing babies and kids of the Palestinians. That they are doing this in order to prevent the Palestinians kids in memorising the holy Quran??

I seriously and honestly dont know if thats true but those very heartbreaking pictures were also being posted and circulated around the media.

Amongst all, I like this picture of a man holding the poster (as I re-uploaded here), I think he speaks his heart out loud. Poor him right?

Who does he wishes to hear that? You? Me? Anyone?

I wondered why nobody is doing anything about this? How can the Israelis so freely attack the Palestinians for years and years and yearsssssss? What are they actually up to?

How long more.. will the people of Palestines suffer?

What more could they possibly lose?

Well, do take a moment with me to pray for them in Gaza.

That the Lord will gives them fair chance in life just as how we all are getting it. and with hopes that some humanitarian action will be taken place upon what happened. Aaameen~

[10:89] And Moses said, ‘Our Lord, Thou hast bestowed upon Pharaoh and his chiefs embellishment and wealth in the present life, with the result, our Lord, that they are leading men astray from Thy path. Our Lord! destroy their riches and attack their hearts — and they are not going to believe until they see the grievous punishment.’ – (Yunos, The Quran)

Flowers bloom

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
– William Shakespeare, A midsummer night’s dream.

Why Khaleesi?

Ya.. Thats what my friends asked too. I’ve been using the name in my facebook and as my nickname elsewhere. Well, for those who watched the series ‘Game of Thrones’ will know who she is. Yup, i fancy her.. Her name in the series is Daenerys Tygaryen as known as “Khaleesi.”

It means Queen.

Not that I look the same like her nor do I have her blue/violet eyes but I love her character; A suppressed girl who was pushed around by the elder brother, but gains stronger as soon as she knew her real potential. Shes strong. Shes pretty.

She proves any man would wilt with the power of beauty and women’s words.

A New Blog

This city is where I currently live. Been here for 3years exactly today. Life has changed lots since then. I’m not new to blogging. No. But as life changes, I changed my blog too. hahah. Yeah, I planned to stay for long on one.. Maximum time I did stay was on blogger. It was my recent deleted blog of that ‘crazy tales of my life.’

Feels like moving to a new place. Google for this and that about blogging, and finally decided to try this wordpress. Blogspot been nice, but once they claimed my blog was a fake and they took it down. Weird. I tend to not post anything that will be claimed as “copyrighted” ever since and that pulled away my writing passions.

Well, I hope WordPress won’t do that to me. As, I’m gonna honestly write everything based on my point of view. Whether you like it or not, I believed this place is where I atleast have the space of that freedom of speech?
