I guess this is growing up

Our newest addition to the family

Jazakallah to all our family members and friends who have supported us through all the ups and downs. We are grateful to Allah (swt) for bestowing us with a healthy little boy. He was delivered on the 3rd of July 2008 at 4:56 p.m. His birth weight was 3.49 kg and he was born nine days past his EDD). His size is relatively big considering how ‘smallish’ both of his parents are. Anyway, it has been a great journey for us and now we are embarking into a new journey of parenthood. Wish us luck guys.

Please do apologize for my period of ‘silence’ for the past few weeks, especially to ImKoyube and to all ILuvIslam crews, Gary for the late project update and to all my friends out there who have been waiting for my update regarding our little baby.

Congratulation to my big brother!

Alhamdulillah, my brother who just completed his studies in Germany end of this month have been accepted to work in one of the biggest engineering conglomerate in Germany. So now he is officially the first person in our family who will take the plunge in the working life. He probably will be staying in Germany for at least five more years. InsyaAllah by next year, we will have the more than half of our siblings here when my younger sister finished off her A-Level studies.

For the first time ever, I post my family picture in this blog. So here you go.

To all my friends who ride on the same rainbow

I was called to write this post after reading one of the comment in Saiful Islam which I found pretty clear to layout the current situation. There are a number of vehicles out there which goes to different route which bring us to the same final destination. So, to all my friends who hop on together on this same vehicle, this post is for you.

Make the best out of everything

Quarreling and endless debate will never get us anywhere. Focus on our strength and knowledge on something that we can contribute towards our goal. Be it in psychology, accountancy, technology, medicine or whatever interests you but when we pursue something, we do them by heart and we should be the best in what we do.

Encourage ourselves to learn broader scope of knowledge. We learn things from the experts who are in the field regardless their religion and culture. We don’t need everyone to be the “driver” of this vehicle but we are the one who make sure the vehicle run properly and smoothly in any way we can contribute. Being said that, I still believe that we altogether must hold on tightly to the principles of Islam in whatever we do. Read More
