ATAH!! (my paternal grandma)




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

MacBook "love is in the Air"

  Alhamdulillah for today, 20 May 2021 Our 10th anniversary , our first 10! ZaqwaaNisha turns 10! MasyaAllah, all by Allah's generosity & grace <3 <3 <3 The story begins like this.............. I woke up this morning expecting today is just like a normal day except that it's a bit special as it's my 10th wedding anniversary. I didn't expect that I would be given a sweet surprise by my husband. My husband told me that someone dropped off  a stuff outside home and asked me to collect it. Without any questions, I did as commanded and found a white plastic bag with something inside. It's a white box. Ok, got it! Let's "dig it"!!! With a super cute super sweet greeting card, handmade & handdrawn by my dear husband.  (He can draw!) A MacBook Air for me! Rose gold in colour. (I'm crying inside, actually when I first discovered it, I was like "jaw dropping face" , no sound coming out from my mouth, hahaha because I was so happy,

park royalling!

we had an awesome stay, a  really short stay but fun, at park royal penang. we had 3 nights in penang and had stayed in 3 hotels! hahaha! never been done by us before, i just love how my husband came up with the idea. he just wanted us to have different hotel experience, and yes, we won't always go to penang, so that's it! enjoying 3 hotels, wohoo! i love it!!! the first one was hotel seri malaysia, penang. stayed there because we joined our family who stayed there as well just for the wedding of my cousin in law. hotel seri malaysia penang is a great choice too if you're on a budget or if you just love to stay in a simple hotel, not a fancy one. the food was tasty too and it's clean and everything basic was there in the room. then, the next night, we had our night in park royal, penang! OMG! i just love the hoel! needless to say more, it's 7 stars hotel, you can imagine how luxurious it is, Alhamdulillah, rizq from Allah, i thank Allah for all the sweet blessin
