setiap lapan saat, seorang mati akibat penggunaan tembakau. dan secara purata, setiap batang rokok yang dihisap akan memendekkan sekurang-kurangnya lima minit hayat seseorang.

saya tak nak orang-orang yang saya sayang jadi seorang daripada mereka.

think about your family, think about your loved ones, and think about your future children.

p/s: just a point to ponder. everyday that you wake up alive means a chance for you to change, so when the almighty helps you everyday, why can't you try to help yourself?

yours sincerely,

yasmin

moving into another phase

i was 14 years old when mama gave birth to nina. i already knew the meaning of responsibility, i knew that i as the big sister should look out for my younger siblings. when some of my friends were still playing with dolls, for me, nina was my doll. i learnt to give bath to her, learnt to change her diapers, carried her around, played with her, put her to sleep. maybe i was overly excited, as my younger sister is only a year younger than me, and all we did was play together, share outfits, and fight for attention. lol. in short, i get to see nina grow up in front of me, and that experience is something nobody can take out of me.

yesterday night, the little one and anis were playing saidina, and she was busy arranging her saidina money and lot cards. its such a nice thing to see her grow up, from playing rattles, to playing uno or simple 'happy family' card, and now she plays saidina and monopoly which needs her to think, and she will be the happiest person on earth to read the 'chance' cards. she grew up so fast, i knd of miss the time when she was really little that when anybody asked her to sing and dance, she would do it without hesitation. not anymore ;) earlier that day, i played with her too, and i bought about 10 lots. and everytime she stopped at an empty lot, she will buy that lot no matter what the price is. and when i asked why, she answered, "nina nak lawan kak min, kak min ade 10 tanah, nina baru 7." isn't that just cute? clearly she doesn't understand the essence of playing that kind of game, yet. haha.

yesterday night also, my parents and abang were discussing about his upcoming wedding plans. everything, from the lists of guests to the food to the music, decorations and what not. they talked about pelamin. somehow mama said, for guys, menyambut menantu, we don't really need a pelamin for bersanding. we went "alaaaaaa tak cantik la kalau takde pelamin" and then mama said, "nanti anak perempuan kahwin baru la kita buat pelamin." suddenly, nina shouted-

"yeay!! nanti nina kawin ade pelamin! yeay! yeay!"

she literally jumped out of joy. it was something unexpected of her. and of course, we burst to a big laugh! haha! mama tak maksudkan dia pun. this little kid, pandai sangat nak langkah bendul eh? ;P hee. seriously, i think she grew up too fast. i can clearly remember the days when all she did was sleep and her big brothers and sisters would go make her cry just so we can hear her voice. alhamdulillah, we still share the same love until now :)

this girl, she might seem very shy at first. but mark my words, she will amaze you with her naughtiness. she even dah pandai bahan imran ;) she is 8 years old now, but she talks like an adult. maybe its because she is surrounded by adults and she is the little one. did i mention to you that nina puasa penuh since she was 6? yeah she did :) how fast time flies, i wonder if we will still kiss her as much, hug her as much and tease her as much ;)

her favourite pose- muka buruk.

p/s: muka buruk nina lagi cantik drpd muka buruk imran :P

hugs and kisses,

min

dear muizz,

i know you will read this, i know you'll be all red. but this is what i do every year since i blogged (eceh padahal baru satu post je pasal ni) :P anyway. i suppose this is just a little something that i thought i should do :)

so you came back this year, alhamdulillah. i actually looked forward to see you during puasa, maybe have a buka puasa session but as you know, both of us were occupied. taulah anak ibu tu nak berkepit je dgn ibu dia kan :P (tyna yg ckp ni) hehe. well, you called me on raya eve, telling me that you want to drop by to hantar baju for me to gosok. amboih! i ni ade mcm muka bibik kat indon tu ke hah? amboih! when i went to your house on 2nd raya haritu, i had a lot to tell! a lot! and i am really glad that you understand and you listened without showing that you are bored and what not. and for catching up with my speaking speed, not many can do that ;) hehe. for making me blush depan ibu, i paid back cash kan. padan muke kamu!

i hope you enjoyed your time at my place, and sorry sebab buat kamu segan. you know how my family is kan ;) that magic show yg cikai tu pun, at least that made nina amazed, i think she was happy too. except that she kept saying imran is better in this, in that. sorry muizz, nina pun kaki buli jugak mcm kakak dia ni. hehe i had a good time bullying you and singing that happy birthday song sekuat hati ;P

happy 23rd birthday muhammad al-mu'izz

cupcake by abg fadli, it tastes good :)

may our friendship last forever.

sukses ya!

p/s: of course i remember your birthday, silly.

setahun sekali

alhamdulillah, syawal is here, again :) and alhamdulillah, i'm still healthy and strong :) one thing about raya that i will never forget would be the time that early in the morning before raya, papa would go knocking on our room doors, turn on the lights and turn off the fan so that we won't sleep comfortably. as a result, we will definately wake up and start doing our chores :) that always works.

again, one quality that my parents had instilled in us all would be, how important raya is. how important that we can still celebrate raya all together, all 6 of us, with our parents. this would be abang's last raya-ing alone with us, as he is waiting for his big day soon :) the bond between us all is too strong, its unbreakable. and we are always thankful for that. raya eve. that's the time when papa would suddenly be very particular about the cleanliness of our home, so that when people come to visit, we won't be ashamed of the habuks and sawangs on our heads ;) seriously, papa would be most particular about those things when raya comes.

on the other hand, my siblings already know what everybody should do. it has been too routine, almost impossible for anyone to forget their 'job scopes' who does what. pasang langsir, gosok baju for the first raya, sapu sawang, lap kabinet, bubuh kuih raya, cuci toilet. everybody knows what to do, without even being asked. alhamdulillah, we have been taught all that, and insyallah we will carry this habit in future :)

raya would also be time to remember others. when to stay at home and expect people to come, who wants what, which uncle would love to have air kosong with his food, which auntie tak makan pedas, which friend suka ketupat palas, which friend to ajak to come to the house, which jiran to visit first, which friend loves to text to wish selamat hari raya, which friend would send raya cards without fail, and which friend would call on raya eve to wish, and to make plans for konvoi :) and this year, i'm blessed to have known so many new kuantan friends :)

somehow, raya brings souls together. and indeed, it shows us who our real friends are- the ones we don't see often but stays at heart. again, its the thought that counts. and i am happy to be blessed with such people.

newbies- abg fadli, elly and wafi :)

a must have, every raya without fail- nadia :)

he came back this year, not the book, the pilot- mu'izz :)

alhamdulillah, these people make me smile.

Happy Raya everyone, maaf zahir batin! :)

p/s: my raya won't be complete until i see him. please come soon.

love,

yasmin mohd
