12+ years

 12+ years...


You've grown up so much.

Looking at the person you've become now, I feel so blessed.


As the proverb says, sejuk perut ibu mengandung. Even the caesarian scar could turn pretty. 


You were strong, you were brave, and you were rational in accepting the trials Allah has set for you at a young age.


You were my strength. You were there to keep me sane. And your presence always reminded me that I should never give up for us.


It didn't take long for you to get back up and focus on the future, instead of dwell on the things we couldn't change.


فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا، إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا...


When Allah takes away something from us, He will surely replace them with something better - sooner or later, in this world on in the Next.

Yes, we might feel sad and discouraged by certain life events, but Allah has also presented to us things that could make us happy and thankful.


Still, the steps you took until now are still just baby steps.

Great challenges still await.

We can only pray that Allah would not test us with trials we can not bear, trials that could lead us astray.

Na'uzubillah.


Life will not be easy, but we'll go through it together, if Allah wills. If I could not be around one day, I pray that Allah will lend you others who would love you as much.


May Allah continue to guide you and be with you through every step you take.


One who has Allah, has everything.


Lots of love,

Mama

Want some oil-less keropok lekor ? Got some in your freezer but using air-fryer will make them dry and hard to chew? Here's the tips: 1. Take them out of the freezer 2. Defrost / soak them in warm water to separate each piece. 3. If it 's still frozen, dip it in boiling water for a few seconds;     if not, hot water is enough. 4. Toss away the water. 5. Cut it into smaller pieces. You can also cut it before Step 3 if you want. 5. 'Fry' the keropok lekor inside the air-fryer for 10 minutes, at 180 degrees Celcius. Kalau ada yang KEMPUNAN tapi TAK TAU KAT MANA NAK BELI YG SEDAP KAT KL ni, boleh beli dari kawan saya
