Meaningful conversation with Rumaysa 

I have this habit asking the girls question:"what's the best thing happened in school today?" Or "did you have a good day today?"And they would answer it by picking up one of the thing that happened in school. What surprised me was, few days ago as we drove to pick Nusaybah from her school, my four years old daughter asked me,  "Mama, did you have a good day today at home"?" I smiled and felt so special that she wanted to know how my day was. I then teased her and said:"well... it depends, how do you define good day for mama at home? what makes a day is good for mama if I just stay at home?, I don't go and meet my friends, I can't go to the slide and play in the playground like you?" Her answered astonished me and put things back into perspective: "But mama, you have time to play with adek Hudayfah, you can rest while he's sleeping, that's relaxing and that's a good day" I had to admit that she was correct so I said:" yes rumaysa, I had a good day today الحمد لله رب العالمين " and she's said:" that's good mama!" Ah sometime you need 4 years old to remind you how Allah ﷻ has blessed us with so many things and simple thing that we often take for granted is actually the greatest blessing! How many people suffers from insomnia hence they struggle to sleep. How many people yearns to have children and feel incomplete without them. How many people have to go out and work 2 or 3 jobs to just put food on the table and roof above their heads. I haven't had any of those. Mostly I stay at home with my baby and do house chores (that of course it's never ending) and yet sometime I forget that today is reasonably a good day! May Allah ﷻ always allows us to be grateful for any small and big things He has blessed us with. Keep us in your دعاٰء

Rambutan = Hairy??

Siang itu, habis pulang dari ngajar di East Ham, aku mampir ke toko India langgananku. berbunga bunga sekali karena aku melihat buah rambutan yang sudah hampir 3 tahun tidak aku ingat rasanya. ada juga manggis disana, yeah ..this is the True London Man!, everything you want you'll get it as long as you have money....believe or not rambutan 8 biji seharga £1.28 alias 21.000 rupiah. artinya 1 BIJI SEHARGA Rp.2.720 great or crazy huh????? tapi demi cinta...*cielaaaah* nggak ding, demi rinduku yang menggebu terhadap rasanya buah rambutan, aku beli aja. aku sempet excited dan berbunga bunga ingin menunjukkan buah "aneh" ala Indonesia ke suamiku, salah satunya adalah rambutan. setahuku suami belum pernah lihat buah ini waktu dia ke Indo, belum juga pernah aku lihat blionya makan. so this would be a great time to introduce a new thing to him *dalam hati udah semangat 45* sampai dirumah, suami belum pulang.....pas pulang langsung aku ajak ke dapur, melihat kejutan-ku....eh ...
