I have good news to share on this blessed Friday .


For gazillions times and since donkey years ive been persuading my hubby to learn the Quran.
The same ol' answers he will give me ..... "wait , im not ready" .
(note to some of u : my hubby is a convert)

Coincidentally, a good friend , sis N , whose husband is also a convert , told me that , her Ustz has a slot avlble on Sunday @ 3pm , checking if im interested to take in. I spoke to hubby briefly over the phone and before i did my Asr, i texted him..... asking him to consider taking this opportunity and offer , as the Ustz is experience , patience and judging fm feedbacks frm my two good friends who has been learning with him for years...the Ustz is the "one" . However , i wont force the hubby .

I texted my two good friends , sis S and sis N to make doa for me/us . They have always been very encouraging and partly my source of motivatiors . While doing my Asr, i prayed hard that Allah will open up my hubby's heart this time round. Minutes later, i r'cd a reply fm hubby ........ "Go ahead ! "

For that very moment, i just couldnt Thanks Allah enuf. Allhamdulillah 3x
I really didnt expect HE answered my doa almost immediately :)

I was full of emotions , even when i was talking to sis N , to tell her the good news . I got the Ustz mobile no. frm her and called him to make arrangments . This is really so surreal . !


Alhamdulillah.




The second good news .........


Sis N and her hubby's plan to go Hajj this year was rejected due to the quota issues. Even after the extended quota of extra 1500 slots were announced, their names are not in the lists. Obviously , dissappoinment surrounded them.

Then, their agent mentioned that abt 350 + jemaahs backed off, due to the lack of annual leaves, lack of preparations etc... so possibility their names can be on the top list. Sis N said, she leave it everything to HIM. Last nite, i received a text fm sis N , saying her husband and herself are being invited by Allah for this year's spiritual journey.

Alhamdulillah .



Give your full Trust in Allah ........ HE 'll be there for you.

Im in the mooood of baking ......

Yesterday afnn , after sending my daughter for her class , i whipped up butter , sugar and other ingredients , to make this ...........


Marble cake .

It's soft , moist and yummy !

Hubby tasted it and voila ! I cut half of the portion and he send to his mum .

:)

I am seriously craving for ....................




TONY ROMA ' S ribs !!!


But, we have to drive alllllll the way to Kuala Lumpur to get that .
Ohhhh i luv KL when it comes to foodies and shopping .


Sadly , here, in Singapore , Tony's not halal .


I cant wait for my daughter's exam to be over and done ....... might just persuade hubby to drive up to chill , unwind and be greedy ! :P

Last Thursday, i was slaving myself in the kitchen almost the whole day. We have guests coming to our home for dinner.... my hubby's cousin , Sathesh and his wife Shamini + baby Jonan , my sis inlaw (and family) + my mom in law.


The are sick of eating all those masalas during Diwali, so they requested for mee soto, but i geared up myself making all these ....... mee soto + bagedils , roti jala + mutton curry , bandung and lime rose syrup ....+ bubur chaca for dessert , drowned with mint tea.



I was too tired n messy , that i didnt take pictures of the food, but here's the picture of the table setting .






I blogged abt this here (Tues ,July 7th 2009)

Baby Jonan Sathesh Ramiah (only 2mth +)







They really enjoyed the food very much and with just the small company , they had a blast of time.!

Never mind the aftrmath of cleaning up and all, i had a good time too . :)
