Beautiful Day

0810am . Sunday the 21st September . The 21st day of fasting in the month of Ramadhan 1429H .




My birthday too .




Hubby said " Happy Birthday " as he arrived home after his midnight shift .



So here's a cake for me ....hehe .... a picture I downloaded .


I'm at my table in my room . The curtains are apart , leaving the day curtains as it is to filter out the sun's rays . Generally and on most days ...I would not be doing this as the sun's rays are too strong ; not only does it makes my working area hot , it hurts my eyes too when looking at the computer screen . So all curtains would be drawn .


Today , the sun's rays are not that bright ....neither hot nor cold and the day is beautiful . Very peaceful . Lots of chirping sounds from the birds adding charm to the morning calmness . How great ALLAH SWT is to show us his creations .


Most mornings there would be plenty of people taking a morning stroll or walk . Somehow , I didn't see anyone today . My neighbor's two rottweilers are in a good mood too .Not barking their heads away should anything attract their attention . They barked at me too when I happened to be outside to put away my rubbish in the can . How I wish these dogs are as good as today . How my skins crawl when they barked and showed their teeth . How ugly they look when they do that . I'm just terrified that they would break loose someday .




Anyway , here's a happy and beautiful day to everyone out there .

Perhaps.......

Its peaceful tonight .


Well...it was not 4 hours ago . Our housing area had a power failure and we were in pitch darkness .

Not so bad a situation as all the neighbors came out as from 8.30pm . I stood outside for a while . The night was just nice ...neither too hot nor too cold .

And it is so right now . That leads me to wonder ...is it that night ? The night I had been waiting for ...plus the other muslims in the world.....Lailatul Qadar ?

A night that is full of blessings ....the Quran descended on this night too . The angels descends too .

If it is so , how blessed I am that it occurs on the night of my birthday .

I'm going to recite the Quran now , pray too and asks ALLAH to forgive me . I'll pray for the good of this world, as well as in the next.

Sighhhh.....

Time : 5.30pm

Hubby : Okay ...Got to go . Bye .

Daughter Yasmin kissed his hands and said " Bye "

Hubby to mummy : Bye ( plus a hug and ...the usual ritual )

Mummy : Can I say something ? ( Said in a whisper )

Hubby looks at wife in the eyes .

Wife : Its my birthday tomorrow .

Observations : No response . Either he didn't hear ...or he pretend not to understand or there were so many things on his mind .

Verdict : Nothing strange ....had always been that way .....SIGHHHHHHHHHH

Conclusion : Dangerous symptom.......could lead to tendency to forget one's own birthday . Signs of old age catching up .

Prescription :
