An empty house...

The beauty of an empty house is that I can cry as hard as I want to… The emotions are kicking in as I wished for you to be here, dad. You will probably be carrying me around the house on a piggy-back for the very last time… Well, before your little girl here gets married. The truth about it hurts. Nothing that has left you, will ever come back. It will mean the world to me if you...

Twenty twelve

A must have in everyone’s blog: last post of the year. 2011 has been a mix of ups and downs but the greatest achievement I have accomplished this far and that I am really happy about is being closer to Allah. The lost of my dear dad taught me so many things, from friendships to family relationships and how fragile this life is. Who would have thought the strong and healthy man in my life...

The final month...

What could possibly be more exciting (and nerve-wrecking) than the last month of single hood. In thirty days, I’ll tell a different story. Story of my life, as a wife. Insyaallah.

Beautiful Thursday

So thankful for today. No doubt I started today with a prayer, and the true beauty of life just emerges, naturally. Thank you Allah for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me.

The battle is not lost

When your mom is not home and you find yourself battling with a can opener, it is about time you realize when was the last time you were there. But with a future hubby who thankfully has got green fingers in the kitchen, the battle is not, at all, lost. :p

Sacrifices

On this really meaningful day of Eid ul Adha, I’d like to share a really interesting question from a khutbah i heard today: “our dear mom and dad sacrificed time, wealth, health and sometimes even put aside their own emotions to bring us up to who we are today, but what have YOU sacrificed for them now in return?” This I will keep in my head for as long as I can, to take good...

The big day

The decision to get married is one of the biggest decision any girl can make in her life. In fact, it is THE biggest for me in my entire list, I had no other man in my life to talk about it, weigh the possibilities with and bang! I said yes! Wait, was that a dream? A few weeks after my dad left me for what seemed like forever, I became someone’s fiancé. They say the knot brings a lot...
