My 8th Wedding Anniversary


I'm Glad I Married You


Abang my hubby.....
You've made yourself so endearing
in your own unique way
I find myself loving you
more and more each day.

The counting years...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ,6 ,7, 8
8 years passed by already?
so fast.......how time flies
It's what you've put in them that matters.
And Abang you have done so much
To make our lives blend together.....alhamdulillah

So many memories we have together
the ups & downs, good times & bad times
Those days mean so much to you & me
yesterdays, today and in years to come
There will be more that we will see.

May the love we have forever be bound tight
and blessed by Allah.....

Happy 8th Anniversary My Love

From your loving wife..... Badar

Jodohku 9 : Peristiwa-peristiwa Menjelang Majlis Perkahwinan


Menjelang hari ulang tahun perkahwinan Kak Ungku & suami tersayang yang ke 8, iaitu pada 21 Disember 2009, Kak Ungku ingin mengimbas kembali peristiwa-peristiwa masam-masam manis yang kami tempohi bersama.....7 tahun, 11 bulan, 2 minggu dan 6 hari dahulu.

Bila dikenang-kenang semula ada beberapa peristiwa yang Kak Ungku tidak akan lupa seumur hidup Kak Ungku antaranya:


(1) Permohonan Akad Nikah Kerabat Diraja

Sebagai Kerabat Diraja Johor, Kak Ungku & suami yang ingin bernikah di dalam Negeri Johor Darul Ta'zim perlulah mendapat izin perkenan serta dipersetujui oleh D.Y.M.M Baginda Tuanku Sultan.

Pengelola Bijaya DiRaja Johor, Dato Perdana Dalam Sulaiman Mohd Salleh (ayahanda kepada sahabat Kak Ungku, Hazara binti Dato Sulaiman), telah banyak membantu mempercepatkan proses permohonan ini...alhamdulillah.

Yang kelakarnya menurut cerita Dato' Sulaiman, dalam ramai-ramai senarai kerabat, nama Kak Ungku yang menarik perhatian Tuanku.

Tuanku:"Tengku Badariah ni boleh tahan...kerja bagus, dapat suami orang dah berumur, orang 'kecik'....Dato' kenal dengan Tengku Badariah ni?"
Dato Sulaiman : "Kenal Tuanku, Tengku Badariah ni pangkat anak saudara dua pupu dengan Tuanku dan sahabat baik anak patik....seorang pegawai korporat, berumur 35 tahun.... Tuanku."
Tuanku: "Dah berumur 35 tahun? Nasib baik kahwin...padanlah.. suami diapun dah berumur!"
(peh....remark Tuanku ini yang tak tahan ni.....haha)
Dato' Sulaiman: " Jodoh dah sampai Tuanku, insyaAllah."


Akhirnya Surat Permohonan Akad Nikah Kerabat Diraja Antara Kak Ungku & suami, telah diperkenan dan dipersetujui oleh D.Y.M.M Tuanku Sultan dan dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Agama Johor untuk tindakan selanjutnya oleh Pegawai Tadbir Agama BP dan jurunikah berkenaan. Salinan surat seperti yang dilampirkan.


(2) Ustaz hadir Kursus Perkahwinan...???!!
Seperti pasangan yang lain, kami berdua perlu menghadiri Kursus Perkahwinan.
Yang kelakarnya kami berdua adalah pasangan yang paling 'veteran' (berumur) dalam ramai2 peserta kursus.

Suami Kak Ungku memanglah segak, dahlah dia berumur, bila dah pakai baju melayu, bersamping dan bersongkok macam ustaz2 lah pulak. Ada suatu ketika tu (masa awal pendaftaran) seorang peserta lelaki 'approach' kami berdua.

Peserta: Ustaz, boleh saya nak tanya sikit?
Suami:....mmmm saya bukan Ustaz nak....sayapun baru nak 'start'!
Peserta: Ohh, maafkan saya Encik!

Kak Ungku dan suami merah2 mata menahan ketawa....sakit perut dibuatnya!!!!


(3) Keputusan Ujian Kesihatan

Tahun 2001 di Johor dah mula untuk pasangan
yang ingin berkahwin membuat pemeriksaan kesihatan.
Walaupun kami yakin 'tak ada apa-apa', insyaAllah......,
tapi heran nak tunggu keputusan pemeriksaan tu berdebar2lah pulak....

Tapi lega....alhamdulillah ujian saringan HIV kami berdua disahkan NEGATIF.




(3) Siapa yang nak kahwin ni???

Oleh kerana persedian untuk majlis cuma 2 bulan....semua kerja perlu ekspress.
Dalam checklist - cari Mak Andam/pelamin/mekap pengantin.
Tanya mak2 saudara...mereka rekomenkan seorang Mak Andam ni.
Jadi masa pergi kedai Mak Andam ni Kak Ungku dan suami bawaklah semua bakal anak2 tiri Kak Ungku yang 3 perempuan (Atim,Anan & Baby)& hero yang sorang tu(Maulana).

Baby: Aunty Bad pilih veil & crown tau...nanti Aunty Bad jadi mcm Tuanku Siti Aishah.
Kak Ungku: Tengok veil & crown yang sepadan dengan tudung ni?
Mak Andam: Yang mana satu pengantin? Yang ini ker?....sambil menunjuk anak Kak Ungku yang sulung...Atim. Veil tak payah labuh sangat & tiara pun biar comel macam orangnya.
Kak Ungku...Anan...Baby..Maulana & Hubby: Haaaaaa! bukan anak yang pengantin...tapi aunty dia!
Mak Andam: Ohh ye ker...(dgn rasa bersalah), maafkan saya, mintak maaf banyak2...salah sangka!

Haiii itulah bila 'andalusia' yang nak jadi pengantin.....kesian Kak Ungku kan?


Itulah antara kisah masam-masam manis menjelang Majlis Perkahwinan Kak Ungku dan suami. Ianya akan menjadi kenangan sampai bila-bila....

My Hubby's Secret Garden

My hubby really loves nature and gifted with 'green fingers', we have our own Secret Garden at our backyard. Whenever he's free, my hubby will spend his time in his 'Secret Garden'....

With the touch of his 'green fingers' & cares, we have our home grown Black Mulberry Tree (Morus Fruit).

Black mulberry fruits are large and juicy, with a good balance of sweetness and tartness that makes them the best flavored species of mulberry.

The ripe fruits of the black mulberry contain about 9% sugar with malic and citric acid. The berries can be eaten out of hand or used in any way that other berries are used, such as in pies, tarts, puddings or sweetened and pureed as a sauce.



Our Black Mulberry Tree
The berries are ready for harvest
.



Freshly harvested Black Mulberry Berries....mmm delicious & sweet
The Berries nourish the Yin and Blood and also as natural antioxidants


Miracle Tree of Life - Moringa Oleifera
In Malaysia this tree is known as Kelor.
Indians call this tree as Marunggai.

Research had shown that an ounce of Moringa leaves contain:
- seven times the Vitamin C found in oranges
- four times the Vitamin A found in carrots,
- four times the calcium found in milk,
- three times the potassium found in bananas
- two times the protein found in yogurt.

For this reason, it has put Moringa as the most nutritious vegetable plant around and has been used as fortificant in noodles, bread, biscuits, delicacies, burgers, hotdogs, porridge and as tea due to its richness in vitamins and minerals.




Home Grown Moringa Oleifera - Kelor



My hubby likes to brew its leaves as tea
-for natural antioxidants .



My hubby's Vermiculture hobby
eeeee...this one is a little bit scary to me!

Typing Errors

Kak Ungku tergelak besar bila baca email dari sahabat saya Afiza.
Haha...thanks a lot for cheering-up my day, today buddy!!!



Typing Errors

A daughter sent a telegram to her father on passing her B.Ed exams,
which the father received as "Father, your daughter has been successful in BED ."



A husband, while on a business trip to a hill station sent a telegram to his wife "I wish you were here."
The message received by the wife was " I wish you were her.. "



A man wanted to celebrate his wife's Birthday by throwing a party.
So he ordered a birthday cake. The salesman asked him what message he wanted put on the cake.
He thought for a moment and said, put "Getting older but you are getting better".
The salesman asked "How do you want me to put it?"
The man said 'Well...put "You are getting older" at the top and "But you are getting better" at the bottom.'
When the cake was unveiled at the party all the guests were aghast at the message on the cake.
It reads:
" You are getting older at the top, but you are getting better at the bottom "






Moral of the Story:

1. Double proof, read everything before you send.
2. Don't trust others to write it right for you.
3. Don't order cakes by telephone.

Last week when I was busy doing my spring cleaning at the office .... I found back few photos which I borrowed from my friend, Sh. Hamidah, supposedly for scanning but I've miss-placed them. Photos of my school days which includes my class photo, school societies and friends.

This photo was taken if I'm not mistaken in 1981, my good friends in Form 3, Sekolah Sri Perhentian, Pontian. From left: Hafizah, Mas Idura, Sh. Hamidah, me, Safiah, Arusni and Haslina. I only have closed contact with Sh Hamidah but the rest of them....lost without a trace for almost 28 years!!!

This is my class photo when I was in Std6, 1978, Sekolah Tengku Mahmood Iskandar (1), Pontian or known as TMIS (1). From this photo I've reconnected back with two of my friends through Facebook i.e Ridza Ahmad (sitting 2nd from the left) and Noraizah Damiri (sitting 2nd from the right) and sitting next to Noraizah is Sh Hamidah. I was standing in second row, far right.


These are the latest photos of Ridza Ahmad & family.
She's now living in Calgary, AB Canada.

My Long True Friend - AFIZA




Never shall I forget our childhood days together,
a part of you has grown in me.
We always be in a team,
with all those smart tricks,
whenever we played "police & thief"....remember?
You're my friend who hears the song in my heart,
and sings it to me when my memory fails.
You reach for me when I fall,
and be my shoulders to cry on.

Our friendships happen in that special moment,
when we both reach out to another.
I've noticed, you seldom missed to wish me " Happy Birthday, Buddy",
and your favourite quote: BUDDY, BUDDY ALWAYS....
Our trusts, comforts, believes in another,
and makes a special difference,
that no one else can make.

We haven't seen each other for quite sometimes,
InsyaAllah we never be apart,
maybe in distance, but never in heart.
In my doas...I'd ask Allah for His blessing,
in what ever that you do,
You're indeed my truly F.R.I.E.N.D forever
Love you and miss you always..........




I would like to dedicate this song specially for you.....

" That's What Friends Are For "
by Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Elton John & others.

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)

Count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for......
You & me....Fiza
