Mama and Baba
Big Smile on a Morning Cruise down Musi River, Palembang
This is the time of the year where the number of my age changes. Obviously it is increasing but I am very grateful to God nonetheless for all His blessings and that I am still alive and kicking.
I made a new change today. I woke up rather early and had an early breakfast, a sahur really. I intended to make a puasa sunat (optional fasting) today while observing Rajab. I have never fasted on a day like this before. I reckon I want to try something new and at the same time it gives me some sort of peace and serenity in a spiritual way. It was not a good day in 2006 and in 2007 it didn't fare much either anyhow. And so I hope my luck will get better this year. One thing for sure, my little but took a year rift with my mother has gone into patching up mode and we are rekindling the mother-daughter relationship steadily. Yet, I went from cheerful to less friendly with a certain people in my family too that includes sisters and inlaws. But I am very much at peace this year so far (inshallah, by God's will) than the previous (sometimes rocky, sometimes stifling, sometimes boring) 2 years.

I pray that I will keep on getting better and better, fitter, smarter and wiser each year.
And for this day, I pray that my wishes will come true. Ameen.

Happy birthday.
May Allah SWT bless you with all the goodness in life.
Happy Belated Birthday! May all your dreams and wishes come true.
Happy Birthday Manal! :-) Here's to a smashing long life!
Happy Birthday Manal! :) Numbers do not matter much, unless we're talking about the numbers in our saving accounts, or the TV series Numb3rs.
May your life is continuously blessed.
Many happy returns of the day!
Uncle Lee,
Gracias senyor. I will hold my smiles for face lift haha... (ok for mood uplifting and whatever feelgood needed to face so much odds!)
Fusarium,
Ameen!
Madam Curi,
Inshallah!
Pugly,
Long life indeed so i can still see my future kids having their own kids and that i will still look pretty in my 80s... :-D
Ardy,
Thanks Ardy. Speaking about numbers, that saving accounts dwindles and adding and subtracting again :-C
Oh well, i better refresh my beauty regime by adding extra supplementation and better anti wrinkle products and of course need to keep up with the physical workout too...Age with grace it is.
Hazlinda,
Somehow, your wish has come true.....as in, i had like celebrations one after another that is!
Hi Manal,
Terpanggil ke sini, though I have not blogged nor blog hopped awhile. Rupa2 nya:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR.
Keep wishing for good things. They will come one by one, as long as di redhai from up above, insy.
Mine did (bukan satu, several small meaningful wishes (alhamdulillah), which I hope will turn big, and that made me busy of late.
Happy Birthday. Insha' Allah things will look up to u, Aaameeeennnn...
Kak Ruby,
Thanks Kak Ruby, we hope so too...just that i will remind meself to keep praying for it.
Just so you know, it also applies to my personal affair....
Pisces Man,
Likewise, I would wish the same to you!
Manal,
Sorry for not visiting for quite awhile.
Wishing you belated Happy Birthday. My prayers that your life is packed with fulfilment and joy.
Instead of the usual bash, you did a little thanksgiving in the form of puasa sunat.
Yes, all that we have come from Him.
May you be blessed with lots of love and goodwill.
Hi & Lo,
Yeah, it's been a while, but i see your call signs in kak ruby's so i hope you should be all right!
Thanks for the late wish, and yeah what better to do at my 32 of age rather than offering my solemn gratitude to God for letting me enjoy my life all these while and blessed with so many wonderful things.
Likewise, here's wishing you the same!
Oooooowh ... lama Wak tak mampir.
Belated Best Birthday Wishes to you!
Nice smile ... tukang kayuh tak tergoda ke ... :D
Avang Cipan,
Coincidentally I just hopped in at your blog and left my comment there....hmmm...i guess great tongues...ooppss, minds thinks alike?
Thanks for the wish. Tukang kayuh too busy la bang cipan and he was manouvering the boat on the other end.
Hi Manal, your boyfriends, lovers, ahemmm, keeping you occupied? You MIA da lama sini?
Bila nak balek...?
Anyway, you stay gorgeous....don't forget the red lipstick, Lee.
Uncle Lee,
Naaah....they only get to see me if I am free so I can spend a quality time with them. At the mo, one gets more attention as he's also with the most efforts.
Yea, will try to look gorgeous even in a not so diva-esque clothes. They say a goodlooking, fit and sexy woman makes a simple attire looks fabulous.
hi have a nice day.. looking for wallpapers for your house? or your friends/relative interested, visit my blog! thanks
