INSHALLAH............

There'll be no more delays in moving into our new house. T'was delayed for a week because the tennants weren't able to find a new place on their own so the agent had to help 'em out; which caused a little bit of a drama. Nevertheless, inshallah we'll get the by this Friday and start cleaning the place during the weekend and .........inshaAllah.......start moving in by next week.

I'm excited.


Our own house.


My kitchen.


My lounge room.


I can walk around the house with undies or no undies!


Oh yeah, I never got around to post some photos of my brother's wedding here. But here a few:
My family

The parents

My other sis-in-law & her son

My man in his cream suit

Muhammad & his wife and also with my cousin + her kids

'Tis The Day I Turn 24.......

All praises due to Allah Almighty! I've been alive for 24 years now..........if you wanna get technical, I don't turn 24 until 5pm or 6pm.

My biggest bet is that my mum, brother, & some cousins will come over with a cake that my mum made or something. They've done that since Abdurrahman was born. Alhamdulillah i've shared 3 birthdays with my son & hubby and inshallah there'll be more in the future.

Well, I don't know what else to put in here except: It's my birthday :D

Have a pleasant day........Allah-Willing I will :)

~Peace.

It's heart-breaking to see your children cry, for any reason. Or unless you MADE them cry.

Tonight, Robbie & I tried a maneouvre to help Abdurrahman sleep on his own instead of watching 'Cars' dvd until 11.30pm. We ALWAYS have to go to war when it comes to his bedtime. And so, we turned the lights off, left him standing in the cot crying and crying and crying on & off for a maximum of 25 minutes. That was so hard for either of us! We've never had to do it before because he wouldn't have any trouble going to sleep........until recently.

While we were lying side-by-side, staring into darkness, his cries feeding our ears; I was BEGGING Allah to help him go to sleep. Alhamdulillah it was answered.

On a lighter note, went bowling yesterday night for the first time in my life. And you know what? I got one strike! Yeehhhh!! We had 2 games and overall I hit 59 pins. I reckon that ain't bad for a beginner!

Time to sleep and hopefully wake again for 2mro.....inshallah. Take care.

~Peace.

Freedom Is 2 Weeks Away + Turning 24 (Inshallah)

Long title, isn't it? Hey all!~ There are some things I need to keep you updated.

1. Hubby is visiting his sick aunt in Indonesia- at the moment in Jakarta having a blast without me. Well......it's only fair, 'cuz I did the same thing last month.
2. Alhamdulillah we've found a house around the Greenacre area..........and will be moving into it in two weeks- Allah-Willing.
3. I'm turning 24 in two weeks also; which is a big SMACK in the head!
4. Starting Uni soon; either at the end of February or beginning of March. I've gotta pick my classes on the 11th Feb...which is on Monday.

I am SOO PSYCHED about moving out!! Inshallah this is our chance to have our own little oasis. Except I HATE IT when other people (besides Robbie & I) are trying to have their input counted on what type of furniture we should have. We already know what we want - which is NOT A $10 000 ITALIAN FLASHY LOUNGE SUITE!!

When are these people going to get it through their heads?! I never had things the way I t liked them. For instance; when we were looking to hire a photographer for our wedding. They also offered me to wear free "last season" gowns at the wedding. I was like: "HELL NO! I'd rather wear the dress my mum made for me!" Then what did she do?? She kept insisting that I take on their free offer - because it was free - when she knew that I won't! I couldn't take her pestering anymore and walked out of there and cried while waiting by the car; whereby I had to give her a lift afterwards. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS!!! And i'm not talking about my mother here.

I ask Allah to smooth this process, if it is meant to be ours.

Have patience.

~Peace.
