The ONE Campaign


Thursday, September 09, 2010

We're coming to an end of Ramadhan this year. It gets more emotional as I grow older. I feel blessed, thank you dear Allah, to see my family sticking up together, despite the challenges we go through. At times we encounter with stupid arguments/conflicts but in the end, ego seperates us from the people we love. Let us move on. For those who left us too soon and whom we loved dearly, you are never forgotten.

Ramadhan this year has been the most tiring one, considering the working and studying environments I'm in. I find that the kids' behaviour is at their worst only in this month. (The morning class, toooooo playful whereas the afternoon class, toooooo talkative. Haha.) On top of that, overloaded with school assignments. Whatever the circumstances are, I never ignore my children and I manage to plan my time well. And with the strength from God, I stayed strong.

Oh boy, do I feel accomplished! I've cleared the mess in my room, swept the house, mopped the house, arranged the kuehs and going to help with mom's cooking tomorrow! My grandma is staying with us for Hari Raya again this year. This year, however, is going to be different. Because I'm old and wise enough to give away money for the kids. This is a life-changing moment for me. Haha nevermind that! I can't wait to see my big family. Kecoh to the max as usual! We're so bringing the house down ya'll.

A month ago I was shocked to hear about the Qur'an burning ceremony that will be held in commemoration of the 9/11's ninth anniversary. This Saturday. Furthermore, on our second day of Hari Raya. Let us pray it won't happen. Never. Please. Who in the right mind, would. I. Can't. Even. To be honest, i'm raging mad about this. I mean, as a Muslim, we recite, we listen and we read the verses of Qur'an in our daily lives. And those mindless people are just going to burn what we honour and what we respect in the name of Allah? If you want to blame the radical Muslims, then so be it. But you don't give that as a reason to incinerate the copies of Qur'an. I won't be surprise if a war is about to occur. Ya Allah. What have the world become?

On a lighter note, kepada keluarga dan sahabat-handai,


salam sayang dari saya, Norhuda Jamaruddin. Mohon maaf zahir dan batin.
