My dad just sms-ed me... He and mama have safely arrived in Mekah (Mecca) late last night. Alhamdulillah... :D

Crafts

I just went on a shopping spree for my handmade crafts last weekend! Yay! Spent quite a bit (a lot?? Haha!) of money, but am really happy with my items... Will be working on a few projects... Wait & see, ya... Amateur at this... ;)

Sweet Mango's Game... Tulips & Buttons, please! :)

Though most of the time I stay quiet, I love blogwalking. :) I stumbled across this one unique blog that I like a few months back, but haven't gone back for some time. Ooops! :p

Suddenly, I remembered to visit her blog again. Hehehe... and she's having a giveaway! Yay! Sweet sweet mangosteenskin... :)


Aren't the ones in the photos just too cute?? I'd really love my own signature stamp of tulips and buttons...pretty please... :)

Bonita!

Lolitas... hehehe... :D

Orange Range...

Trying my luck at making a bookmark charm...hehehe...


Got the metal bookmark from colorscityshop.blogspot.com. She's got lotsa nice things on her site. :) The others (metal charms, plastic beads, artistic wire) I got off from beading.com.my. The people there are really nice and efficient. Pleasure dealing with them.

Oh, the book I used as "model" is called "The Face of Death" by Cody MacFayden. I love his books, got all 3 of them. Excited about his next book, entitled "Abandoned", due out in stores here in Malaysia sometime November 2009! Yay! :D

Pilgrimmage

Alhamdulillah, praise to the Almighty God, my parents are able to perform their pilgrimage this year. They went last Thursday. I miss 'em already! ;)

I've had a pretty full week due to that, among others. My parents held a gathering (doa selamat) the weekend before they went. I even managed to get myself hurt during the preparations! :p We were setting up the guest tent when one of the poles accidentally fell on my left feet. Ouch! Still hurts a little, even after over a week now.

Whatever it is, I am very thankful to God that my parents are able to perform this wonderful ibadah. To all family and friends who have wished them well and sent them off with prayers and safe journey, I can never repay your kindnesses.

The pilgrimage (Hajj) is one of the five Pillars of Islam. It is a religious practice for all Muslims that have the capacity to do so (health and sufficient funds, etc). It is not strictly compulsory, but made a choice for Muslims to either perform it or not, depending on their individual abilities. I've already opened up a Tabung Haji account, the moment I started working. However, it was only last month that I registered for Hajj. :p I pray to God that my funds will be more than sufficient soon enough, for I would love to perform Hajj in my lifetime. :)

Whatever it is, I pray for my parents' health, so that they may perform their ibadah as smoothly as possible, and come back here, insyaAllah. :)

Yum! ;)

Urgh!

The internet connection's so *tut* (:p) these past few days! Last week it was my PC, now it's the connection. Urgh! I've been wanting to update this little blog of mine for ages...but the connection's been bad. It has only started to be acceptable starting midnight. I'm damn sleepy already right now.

A lot have been going on for the past 11-12 days. Will update again later (hopefully... :p)
