From Aku, with love

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri (31 March / 1 Syawal). Maaf zahir dan batin 💕.

Ramadhan, What have we done for you? Did we break your heart? Did we hurt your feelings? Or are you happy with us? After you leave, No more tarawih, Either at home or at the mosque, No more discussion about lailatul qadar, No more iftar at the mosque, No more moreh, All will follow you,  Leaving all of us. You will come again next year, But are we still here to welcome you? As I'm afraid , This will be my last Ramadhan.

He gives me a big 🧧 every month, so it's not a problem. But if he gives me duit raya, I will be very happy 😊 ).

An insect bit my left eyelid, "Aduh mataku", in my garden last Tuesday. And it was swollen. Today, the swelling is not like yesterday's. Yesterday, it was a big one. I looked like an alien. My husband took me to see a doctor so she gave me medicines. Luckily, it's only my eyelid. I had no fever and my B.P. was ok. No problem la. Alhamdulillah. My husband couldn't look at my face yesterday, he would laugh. He pitied me, he's  also worried about me. And he tried not to laugh but he couldn't help it. Nasib, nasib.

 I was in a bank, accompanying my son. He had a problem with his ATM card. While waiting for our turn to meet the officer, there's a lady talking to her. She wanted to make a bank loan. She retired early in 2023 and will start receiving her pension this year ( we're the same age ). Then she looked at me and smiled. But I didn't smile back. In my mind, I was doing the calculations and thinking of the causes and effect.   Sigh. She should do a 2 year + .......month budget first before spending her money. Like I said earlier in my old post, when we retire early,  we must have a few bank accounts to separate the money ( based on our budget ). Then we'll know how to spend it wisely. Aamiin ya Allah.

My mother came to my house last Sunday. She's not well. She had to use her four legged walking stick. But since last night, she's been ok. She has parked her sports car (walking stick) at the corner of her bedroom. I'm so happy to see her walking without it. Alhamdulillah. Hari Raya Aidilfitri is around the corner. Some of us are ready to "Baalik Kampunggg oh oh oh Baalik Kampunggg". My two cents about something. Whoever we are ,  rich or poor -  when we go to our parents' house or parents in law's house or maybe stay at their house for a few days, just remember that we are their son or son in law or daughter or daughter in law. Please treat them well . Cook and prepare the food together, clean up the house together  or wash the dishes together. Together gether la. So everybody will be happy. Well, it is hari raya. 

 The last 10 nights of Ramadhan. All the good things that you intend to do, just do it.  It will be Syawal after this. And you will say, " eh eh raya dah ". Make sure there's no regret after Ramadhan.  All the best 😊 !
