ATAH!! (my paternal grandma)

By



This is my paternal grandma. The baby? It's Umar! My beloved son :)

My dad's mom.

I call her Atah (gandma in Perak. "Atah" is usually used by the royal families in Perak)

She's is so special to me. I love her so much.

Wanna know why?

Ive lived for 28 years old, and I only have the chance to meet her for the very first time this year!

Its such a long story why this happened but trust me, my atah is sooo nice. She has a very kind heart, I believe that is why Allah chose her to be a Muslim about more than 70 years ago.

Her name is Mariam Gregory Abdullah. She was born to Ceylonist and Baba Nyonya Chinese parents. Her dad which is my great grandfather was a Ceylonist (Sri Lankan- fair skin Indian) and her mom which is my great grandmother was a Baba Nyonya Chinese ( only speak Malay & English at home, lived like Malay people, did not know to speak Chinese). Obviously, I am a mixed blood human being! Hahaha, Alhamdulillah for that :)) .

Atah got married to my grandfather ( my dad's father), the late YAM Raja Muda Musa Ibni Almarhum YTM Sultan Abdul Aziz , that explained the conversion from Catholic to Islam, Alhamdulillah for that :))

There's so much to talk about her but I want to keep it low, because I love her so much!!

Love u so much Atah and thanks for every single thing that you had gone through , every single sacrifices you had done, for my dad and for the rest of family, only Allah knows u better than anyone else, I know and I believe you are the sweetest!!


Love,
RKA

DISCLAIMER : This is a "perasan" post, specially for my own motivation booster, beware of it, you might get choked with your own vomit😂😂😂 I am 31 years old this year , but actually if counted by months, I'm still 30 years old *december baby*😝 When I was in my 20s, I thought that being 30 is like being old, truly an adult but now that I reach my 30s, I was wrong, I still live like I always do, but in better & wiser ways, but it has not changed my way of thinking at all, I still belive I'm young. Always a girl at heart😍💕👧🏼 I guess it's all depends on how you wanna live your life, how you perceive life, what values or principles or beliefs that you hold on to. If you believe, age is just a number, then perhaps you would rock your life like a rockstar till the end of your time, hahaha depends on your beliefs afterall. To me, I am grateful being able to live another year, to be able to breathe the air, to see my beloved faces everyday, all the preci...

Uber sadaqah

By
Yesterday at Ikea Cheras,  when I was waiting for my husband to fetch me from the waiting area,  I saw an old aunty asking from people the direction to the MRT station. All of them did not know and couldn't help her until there's one guy came to her and told her direction.  She thanked him and walked away, heading to the said direction. Emm I hope the guy was correct because from my sight,  I did not see any MRT station from where I stood. The old aunty,  who I can say, a grandmother too,  had to walk quite far actually,  on her own,  she had no transport. I felt quite bad for not offering any help. Actually I was waiting with Ikea stuffs in a trolley with my son in a stroller,  hence, I was quite full-handed. Hope that the aunty got any help from any kind souls along the way. I told my husband about there and he told me that it's good to have an Uber or Grab app so that we can offer help to those in need of transport. It's a sadaqah too. ...

Hyperemesis Gravidarum ......(3rd degree of morning sickness T_T )

By
Little did i know that I would experience severe morning sickness( ms) during my pregnancy. Ya Allah, sangatlah menderita, merana tetapi sebenarnya itu adalah ujian dari Allah SWT untuk wanita mengandung supaya menguatkan lagi keimanan kita. Besides, kesakitan itu adalah kafarah dosa so kena sabar banyak2. Alhamdulillah, sampai 4,5 bulan je ms yang teruk ni and masa 5 bulan pun dah tak sekritikal masa mula2 pregnant. I was diagnosed for hypremesis gravidarum.. Apa tu? Ok, check this out. "Hyperemesis gravidarum ( HG ) is a complication of pregnancy characterized by intractable nausea , vomiting , and dehydration and is estimated to affect 0.5–2.0% of pregnant women. Malnutrition and other serious complications , such as fluid or electrolyte imbalances , may result. Hyperemesis is considered a rare complication of pregnancy , but because nausea and vomiting during pregnancy exist on a spectrum, it is often difficult to distinguish this condition from the more common...
