Book 4 It's A Love Story

This is actually written by a friend. That is most probably why I read it. By Nina Kamal (bukan nama dia pun). Kata nya Kam is her ex boyfriend's sur-name; saya ketawa bila dengar her funny tale of her writing.

I demanded from her a copy to read when I knew about her writing.

And I was in fact rather impressed with the book. As her first book, I thought it was very good indeed.

She has a good flair in writing. Humorous at some point. And tak boring langsung. Although it was rather thick. She said she didnt know she had over-written the number of pages!

Kalau nak cuba cari di kedai, jangan. It is no longer on the shelves. She said just wait for her new book. Mungkin out soon.

So basically I am just promoting a friend (dan kalau tak bagus tak ndak saya promote pun..)

Nanti kalau2 terjumpa buku Nina Kamal, beli lah.

From CJ With Love

Hello Darlings.

OMG. It has been almost a month since the last post. I have been busy. And somewhat under the weather.

Nevertheless (strictly no whining on-line).

Nothing much is happening in CJ. Purely mum-sitting. It has been somewhat hot and cloudy. Which is good. Kalau hujan nanti mum will be saying, sejuk nye. Ambil baju sejuk mak. Selimut kaki mak. Mungkin sejuk yang dikata, sampai ke tulang sum2. Wallahualam.

I am watching a lot of tv. Drama. Unbelievable. Dari tak kenal, sampai dah terpahat muka Zul Ariffin di minda! And I should text message tv3 with #Lame and #Cliche on their Mahligai Cinta program. Saya tak dapat jatuh cinta walau mencuba. Contoh : kata dekorator, konsep perkahwinan ini adalah France Castle. French chick (chic?). Dengan English flowers. Lalu saya jadi sangat keliru..

Dan saya tonton Maria Tengku Sabri & Ifa Raziah dengan costume Elsa dan Anna masing2 (yes, believe it or not).

Dan ada masa pening saya sangat2 menjadi bila duduk di depan tv (FYI, mum watches tv3, tv1 atau some al Hijrah. Saya turutkan saja.)

Also I was working. Well.. some.

And also reading. A few pages. On solat. A few points I thought I must share:
1. Solat orang yang khusyuk adalah mereka yang sentiasa sedar dan mengikuti segala pengertian dan kalimah yang diucapkan di dalam solat.

2.  Solat seseorang yang dalam keadaan lalai sesungguhnya tidak mempunyai sebarang nilai kebaikan di sisi Allah swt.

3. Orang yang mengerjakan solat dalam keadaan lalai sama keadaannya dengan orang yang mengigau ketika tidur, walaupun mungkin ia menyebut Allahu Akbar.

Nabi saw bersabda dengan maksudnya, tidak ada ganjaran bagi seseorang hamba dalam solatnya kecuali sekadar mana yang ia ingat (khusyuk).

Dan Nabi juga bersabda, maksudnya berapa banyak orang mendirikan solat tetapi yang diperolehinya hanya penat dan letih, kerana mereka itu lalai dalam solatnya.

ps - photo above is the pintu of our old(er) house. Rumah tua; and what was the place of so many photo shoots before (like the one below).

Selamat beramal sedaya-upaya dan sebaik yang mungkin untuk hari2 abadi.
