happy 26th birthday, Baini!

hari terakhir 1430H...

setahun sekali...

DOA AKHIR TAHUN HIJRAH

Doa Akhir Tahun dibaca 3 kali pada akhir waktu Asar atau sebelum masuk waktu Maghrib pada akhir bulan Zulhijjah.

Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata
"Kesusahan bagiku dan sia-sia lah pekerjaanku menggoda anak Adam pada setahun ini dan Allah binasakan
aku satu saat jua. Dengan sebab membaca doa ini, Allah ampunkan dosanya setahun"





DOA AWAL TAHUN

Doa Awal Tahun dibaca 3 kali selepas maghrib pada malam satu Muharram. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata

"Telah amanlah anak Adam ini daripada godaan pada tahun ini kerana Allah telah mewakilkan
dua Malaikat memeliharanya daripada fitnah Syaitan"

Selamat Tahun Baru 1431H, people!!!

2 more days to 1431H...

i know i have not been blogging rather actively lately but trust me, there are lots of stuff which i have been itching to share. work primarily has hindered me to update on a daily basis like i used to. personal stuff too. 2009/1430H has been quite a challenge but i guess life's just being like life. once you get too elated over some things, something unpleasant would happen after.

i'll write as soon as i have the time and space. till then, Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram 1431H to all my Muslim readers.

what a busy week!

one of 2009's Annexe Heroes receipient and a lawyer who loves The Powerpuff Girls

happy 26th birthday, Fiza PPG! kawen jangan lupa jemput, tau!


i "met" Amir for the 1st time in an alternative social networking site sometime mid last year. his profile did not have a photo of his own but the photo above was sent to be by him as some sort of identification. we finally met in-the-flesh a few months later, in August. i've first read about him in FHM (can't remember which year) when he made The Big Durian.

Amir is candid, intelligent, poised and most remembered for his signature laugh. this law graduate is definitely a force to be reckoned with for many many years to come.

happy 37th birthday!

he's home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
