for Palestine

Last week was quite hectic for us when Mavi Marmara was attacked by the Israelis. Mujahid's father a.k.a. my father-in-law was one of the activists @ volunteer on that freedom flotilla. Suspense was indeed in the air as I watched the news on al-Jazeera and a Turkish online website, as we all waited for Abah to call home - if he is still safe and sound. Alhmdulillah, Allah knows best, a couple of days later the Israelis let free the 12 Malaysians who were on Mavi Marmara. As you all had already known, they were sent to Jordan. Abah called home. Several weeks back, Mujahid had asked me to translate his CV to join the cause. Sorry Abang I really had to hesitate because I was so not ready to raise our baby alone for now, not even for a couple of days, in addition to some other reasons.. It's not "never" it's just "not yet".. inshaAllah.. Anyways, on Tuesday 1st June 2010, Ikram Fakhri went off for his first demonstration for Palestine. Being the youngest dem...

subhanallah walhamdulillah wallahu akbar. 10 Disember 2009 : genap 2 bulan sejak saya bertukar status :P hehe. blog pun dah jarang disapu & dikemas disebabkan laptop hanya ada satu dan penggunanya sudah ada dua ^__^ jadi kena lah kongsi-kongsi~ untuk pengetahuan sahabat semua, alhamdulillah my home is not affected by the recent landslide tragedy in Bukit Antarabangsa except for some traffic jam occasionally, which i don't really mind. since my hubby and i came back from Johor, i still didn't have the chance to help out at the tragedy site since my schedule was already packed with other events. my hubby went with his friends while i was attending a meeting, and he said there's already A LOT of help at the site alhamdulillah. so the truth is i'm not feeling that guilty for not helping out.. uh-oh.. O__o* oh, as i mentioned last time, here i attach the pictures during the last mukhayyam Youth Outdoor Quest di Bukit Tabuh dan Bukit Cerakah right view of one of Bukit Tab...
