::Jodoh itu Pemberian Tuhan::

Salam'alaik.. Hehe..saje je entri pasal jodoh.. Ada orang bahagia hingga ke akhir hayat..ada yg sebaliknya.. kita tak tau di hujung pengakhirannya apa.. bahagia atau derita.. sebab tu kot ada pepatah English kata marriage is a gamble.. setuju tak kawan2?? 

Bagi saya, marriage is definitely NOT a gamble! Perkahwinan adalah ibadah, sunnah Ar -Rasul, malah bagi siapa yang melakukannya dikira telah sempurna separuh dari agama, maka yang separuh lagi adalah bertaqwa kepada Allah swt.. Mana mungkin ia boleh disamakan dengan perjudian??? [maksiat yang penuh unsur kezaliman, menindas dan membazir]

Bahagia atau derita atas usaha kita memupuk kebahagiaan itu.. dan semestinya doa dan tawakkal pada yang Maha Esa tunjang bagi segala2nya..  Hatta nak bertemu jodoh pun perlu berusaha, bukan datang bergolek begitu saje.. Apa yang membezakan, usaha yang bagaimana? melalui cara yang diredhai Tuhan atau sebaliknya? itu yg harus di fikir2 kan.. 

Komik dari langitilahi ni bagus jugak dikongsikan.. hehe

Perbaiki diri, nescaya jodoh kan datang sesuai dengan iman di hati..

Begitulah sunnatullah, ada orang jodoh cepat, ada yg lambat..ada juga yang tidak bertemu.. semua itu rahsia Tuhan.. Kita hanya disuruh berusaha.. :)

Saya dulu pernah berfikir,
kahwin ni susah, tp tak kawin pun susah juga..
Ada anak ni susah [mencabar nk mendidik dan membesarkan], tp takde anak pun susah juga..
Tak keje susah [tak dak duit], tp bila keje pun susah juga [tekanan, deadline..etc]..
Tuhan tu Adil, setiap perkara ada ujiannya tersendiri.. Kita perlu jiwa yang BESAR untuk menghadapi ujian  dan mehnah hidup.. Ganjaran BESAR dari Nya buat yang SABAR...

Wallahu'alam.. sekarang musim kenduri kahwin tiba lagi, hehe

Nota kaki: 19 November - Birthday ayah mertuaku dan Arsyad dah boleh merangkak gear 1, Alhamdulillah!

Wassalam.

::Tazkirah Tuesday::

Salam'alaik..

Entri untuk hari ni ialah gambar dari doodle dakwah.. so cute n creative, they use comic as a tool for dakwah, a medium to spread message of Islam.. Usually orang buat entri Wordless Wednesday, so saya pilih Tuesday la pulak.. heheh



Sisters,
sometimes we tend to give so much attention on our appearance, our looks.. but what most important is, the inner beauty, we must take care of our Iman.. Asasnya adalah aqidah yang jelas.. Bila kita meletakkan Allah dalam segala aspek urusan kehidupan, insyaAllah iman akan sentiasa terpelihara.. Iman yang akan mempagari nafsu daripada cenderung kepada hal2 maksiat, lagho dan lain2..

Jangan biarkan hati kosong, sebaliknya penuhkan dengan perkara kebaikan, ilmu bermanfaat/ilmiah agak hati sentiasa hidup untuk mudah menerima hidayah/petunjuk Allah.. Dalam sehari berapa kali kita minta petunjuk dari Allah? dlm bacaan solat kita "Ihdinassiratol mustaqim.." Tunjukkan kami jalan yang lurus.. banyak kali kan? Moga bukan sekadar lafaz dibibir tapi pengharapan kita agar Allah sentiasa pimpin langkah kita ke jalan yang lurus..

Wallahu'alam.. sesungguhnya peringatan diatas adalah lebih dituju untuk muhasabah diri ini yang membaca dan jari jemari ini yang menulis..

Wassalam

:: Foods for moms::

Arsyad dok diam2 situ, boleh tengok je tau.. ummi n abi nak makan sushi.. at Sushi King, Jusco Ipoh

Salam'alaik..

A nice article to share with all mothers.. moms-to-be.. or to all ladies who will be a mother someday! heheehe...

Especially yang bf baby anda, amat penting untuk memastikan anda mengambil makanan yg sihat dan berkhasiat.. Sejak saya bf baby, berat badan telah turun lebih rendah dari berat asal sebelum mengandung.. saya tidak menyangka hingga ke tahap itu..hehee.. nak kata kurang makan, tidak sekali! Duduk rumah lagi banyak saya makan itu dan ini.. tapi mungkin jumlah kalorinya belum mencukupi.. Oleh itu, saya berazam untuk mengembalikan berat badan asal dan mengamalkan a healthy diet from now onwards.. :) [baby dah pun nak masuk 8 bulan baru sedar perkara ini...haih..! well, it's never too late! ] So here goes the list... Thank u WebMD! Enjoy eating! :D

For nursing moms, it's important to know that the quality of your breast milk stays pretty much the same no matter what you choose to eat. That's because if you aren't getting the needed nutrients from your diet, your body will provide them from your own stores. But for your own well-being, it's best to make sure you're obtaining the nutrients your baby needs by incorporating a variety of healthy breastfeeding foods in your nursing mom food plan.

If you make sure the following 12 foods for new moms are a regular part of your diet, your body -- and your baby -- will thank you.

1. Salmon Ikan mahal nih! heh..

There's no such thing as a perfect food. But salmon is pretty close when it comes to a nutritional powerhouse for new moms. One of the best breastfeeding foods out there, salmon, like other fatty fish, is loaded with a type of fat called DHA. DHA is crucial to the development of your baby's nervous system. All breast milk contains DHA, but levels of this essential nutrient are higher in the milk of women who get more DHA from their diets.

The DHA in salmon may also help your mood. Studies suggest it may play a role in preventing postpartum depression.

One caution: FDA guidelines say breastfeeding women should limit consumption of fish lower in mercury to 12 ounces per week because of potential exposure to mercury. Salmon is considered to have a low mercury content when compared to other types of fish, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish.

2. Low-Fat Dairy Products i like cheese....cake! opps..yogurt pun best!

Whether you prefer yogurt, milk, or cheese, dairy products are an important part of healthy breastfeeding. In addition to providing protein, B vitamins, and vitamin D, dairy products are one of the best sources of calcium. If you're breastfeeding, your milk is loaded with calcium to help your baby's bones develop, so it's important for you to eat enough calcium to meet your own needs. One way to do that is to include at least three cups of dairy each day as part of your diet.

3. Lean Beef daging korban ada lagi..hehee

When you're looking for foods to boost your energy as a new mom, seek out iron-rich foods, like lean beef. A deficiency of iron can drain your energy levels, making it hard for you to keep up with the demands of a newborn baby.

Also, when you're nursing, you need to eat extra protein and vitamin B-12. Lean beef is an excellent source for both of these nutrients.

4. Legumes hadoi.. x minat la legumes nih..

Beans, especially dark-colored ones like black beans and kidney beans, are a great breastfeeding food, especially for vegetarians. Not only are they rich in iron, they're a budget-friendly source of high quality, non-animal protein.

5. Blueberries saya suke minum jus Twister! Yummy2..!

Breastfeeding moms should be sure to get two or more servings of fruit or juice each day. Antioxidant-rich blueberries are an excellent choice to help you meet your needs. These satisfying and yummy berries are filled with good-for-you vitamins and minerals and will give you a healthy dose of carbohydrates to keep your energy levels high.

6. Brown Rice Takde beli lg beras nih..

If you're attempting to lose the baby weight, you might be tempted to drastically cut back on your carbohydrate consumption. But losing weight too quickly may cause you to produce less milk for the baby and leave you feeling lethargic and sluggish. It's better to incorporate healthy, whole-grain carbs like brown rice in your diet to keep your energy levels up. And foods like brown rice provide your body the calories it needs to produce the best quality milk for your baby.

7. Oranges yup, saya minum jus oren Twister!

Portable and nutritious, oranges are a great food to boost energy for new moms. Because nursing moms need even more vitamin C than pregnant women, oranges and other citrus fruits are an excellent breastfeeding food, too. Can't find time to sit down to a snack? Sip on some orange juice as you go about your day -- you'll get the vitamin C benefit and can even opt for calcium-fortified varieties to get even more benefit from your beverage.

8. Eggs ok2.. Selalu je breakfast dgn telur..

Egg yolk is one of the few natural sources of vitamin D -- an essential nutrient to keep your bones strong and help your baby's bones grow. Beyond that, eggs are a versatile way to meet your daily protein needs. Try scrambling up a couple of eggs for breakfast, tossing a hard-boiled egg or two on your lunchtime salad, or having an omelet and salad for dinner. As part of your diet, you might even opt for DHA-fortified eggs to increase the level of this essential fatty acid in your milk.

9. Whole-Wheat Bread ok2.. Selalu je breakfast mkn roti..

Folic acid is crucial to your baby's development in the early stages of pregnancy. But its importance doesn't end there. Folic acid is an important nutrient in your breast milk that your baby needs for good health. And it's crucial you eat enough for your own well-being, too. Enriched whole-grain breads and pastas are fortified with this vital nutrient. They also give you a healthy dose of fiber and iron.

10. Leafy Greens saya suke sayuran hijau..! hari2 makan..alhamdulillah!

The list of benefits you get from eating leafy green vegetables such as spinach, Swiss chard, and broccoli goes on and on. They're filled with vitamin A, which your baby needs to get from your breast milk. They're a non-dairy source of dietary calcium. They've got vitamin C and iron. On top of that, green veggies are filled with heart-healthy antioxidants, they're low calorie, and they're tasty to boot.

11. Whole-Grain Cereal a haa.. selalu beli honey stars/cornflakes..mmg sedap!

After yet another sleepless night, one of the best foods to boost energy for new moms in the morning is a healthy breakfast of whole-grain cereal. Many cold cereals are available that are fortified with essential vitamins and nutrients to help you meet your daily needs. Or, whip up a healthy hot breakfast by stirring blueberries and skim milk into a delicious serving of oatmeal.

12. Water minum apa.. tapi mungkin kurang air masak.. eheh..

Dehydration is one of the biggest energy drains there is. And new moms who are breastfeeding are especially at risk. To keep your energy levels and milk production up, make sure you stay well hydrated. You can vary your options and meet some of your fluid requirements by drinking juice and milk, but be careful when it comes to caffeinated drinks like coffee or tea. Keep your intake to no more than 2-3 cups a day or switch to decaffeinated varieties. That's because caffeine enters your breast milk and can cause your baby to become irritable and sleep poorly
