[DAYANA] PHOTO OF THE DAY : MY LOVELY MOM

             

               She is my mom. Maybe for other people, she is just a regular mom, but for me, she is so much more.  She handles and take cares of our family. Her name is Wan Nidzar binti  Wan Embong. She is 5’4” inch and weight for only 52 kg. Although she is small and petite in size, but trust me, she can do everything and anything.

 

               She has a pair of small and slanted eyes that people always mistaken her as a Chinese woman, and thanks to my mom, I took that gene from her. She has tan skin, rosy cheek and the most beautiful smile anyone can wear. My friend always praise my mom and says, “Your mom is a nice person, she loves to smile, she has the sweetest smile ever”.

              My  mom is an organized person. She would clean all of the house and make sure everything is in place. She teaches me how to do household chores too. Although sometimes I complain that why only woman do all the work and handle the family, but my mom will tell me that everything that we do, we should do it sincerely without any complains.

              My mom is a strong woman. She did every single thing in the house. Every day, she is the earliest person to wake up and start to cook breakfast for our family. When I was in primary school, my mom will cook variety of food in the morning for me to pack them to school. Then, she will start to clean herself up and go to work.  Around 1 o’clock in the afternoon, she will go back home and start to cook again for our lunch. Then she will dress me up for my Agama school.

               At night, she will make sure that l finished up my homework.  My mom was a clever student, hence, whenever I can't solve my exercises, she will teach me until I understand all of them. I can still remember, my mom will take a week or two of leave from her work during my UPSR, PMR and SPM time just to make sure she can fully helped me. A month before that, she will make notes and print it for me. I am thankful for all of her sacrifices just to make sure that I am fully prepared for my exam.

               Thanks to my mom, I get straight  A’s for my UPSR and PMR, but not for my SPM. I cried so much and scared that my mom will be frustrated with my result. But surprisingly, she still congratulate me and said I did well on my exams. She encouraged me that SPM is not everything and not the end of the world. Later on, she helped me on applying universities and colleges. Thanks to her again, I get matriculations in science, foundation in law at UiTM and Diploma in Accounting and Finance at KPTMKL. I was confused to pick which course as I wanted to become a doctor at the same time a lawyer too.  But my mom told me that I should choose accounting line as she knows if I pick  the other two, I would be stressed out so much. She knows my capability and strength so well. She said that I can do well in accounting line too.

              Every single problem that I face, she will listen to them carefully, teach me, give me her opinions and will always be by my side and encourage me that I can face them all. She will tell me that I am a strong person. The quote that my mom always tell me is, “Allah won’t test you beyond his or her capabilities.” And that is what makes me strong till now.

             Thanks to Allah, He lend me a good, loving, caring and understanding mom. Without her, I wont become a person I am right now. Mama, thank you, you are my supermom.

[HARAS] MOVIE REVIEW : CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

           The Willy Wonka starring Johnny Depp is the inventor of the world’s best selling chocolates and candies has decided to open his factory up afterr more than fifteen years. He has hidden five golden tickets in the wrappers of the chocolate bars. Whoever finds a golden ticket will win a tour of his factory, a life-time supply of chocolate and possibly a surprise beyond their wildest dreams.

The first ticket is eaten by Augustus Gloop starred by Philip Wiegratz, the second is taken by spoiled-little-rich-girl Veruca Salt starred by Julia Winter, the third by champion-gum-chewer Violet Beauregarde starred by Annasophia Robb, the fourth by television addict Mike Teavee starred by Jordan Fry, while the fifth golden ticket remains no one until the day before the tour.

Charlie starring Freddie Highmore lives with his poor family in a shack not far from the Wonka factory and has always dreamed of meeting Mr. Wonka. However there appears to be little chance of that until Charlie finds some money, buys a bar of chocolate and had the chances on the last remaining ticket. With Grandpa Joe starring David Kelly at his side, Charlie joins the small group preparing for the tour once  in a lifetime.

As the group walked its way through the factory, the kids are greedy and are not well behaved after seeing various type of chocolate surrounded them . The only one unaffected is Charlie, which leads him to win a prize beyond anything he could ever have imagined.

         There are many messages hidden in this film. Firstly, wherever it may lead you, you should be true to your heart and follow it. Secondly, good things come to those most deserving and finally that there is no underestimating the importance of family.

With schools, media and various corporations, they should encourage their children of healthy eating, attitudes and lifestyles. Parents may wish to discuss the importance of making healthy eating choices with their children.

[SURAYA] RAYA CELEBRATION

          Night before Aidilfitri, my family and I drove back to our beloved hometown in Negeri Sembilan. Along the journey, we sang Hari Raya songs happily to lighten our mood up. A few hours later, we arrived at grandparent’s house safely. I could see my grandparents and siblings were waiting for us along the stairs. I felt very excited at the thought of meeting my long-distance cousins and sharing our stories together. Later on, we helped each other making ketupat palas and rendang while the aunties cooked dishes at the back of the kitchen. As we were busy preparing for tomorrow’s food, the men decorated the house while the kids played firecrackers happily at the backyard. That night went fast.
      

          The next day had begun and it was the first Syawal. I woke up early and took a shower. The thought of celebrating Raya Aidifitri with my bigger family make me feel so excited. I help my aunties and my mom to prepare the Raya dishes. Later on, all of us started to dress up in our new Raya outfits. The theme for this year Raya outfit was dark purple and I could see everyone looked beautiful and gorgeous wearing kurung, kebaya and baju melayu. After that, all of us started asking for forgiveness among us. Then, we started our car to go to Masjid Seremban 2 to perform Solat Sunat Hari Raya. 
         
          After performing our prayer, we decided to visit our neighbours. I was amazed by the decorations of their houses. There were colourful lights hanged up here and there. Then, we went back to the grandparent’s house and continue with our Raya activities. We ate a lot as there were various type of dishes such as rendang, ketupat, lontong, lemang, serunding and kuih raya that we prepared last night. Like always, my favourite dish on Hari Raya must be the infamous Mak Teh’s Rendang Tok. After finished filling up our stomach, it was the time for us to receive Duit Raya from the elders. This year, all of us need to sing one Hari Raya song before getting our money. It was embarrassing for me as I was the first person to sing it. Although I was the eldest among the others, I enjoyed watching my little cousins laughing and smiling upon receiving their money. We sang, ate and shared our stories together. I could not forgot the memory that we created together and I could not wait for the next year Raya celebration!

[DAYANA] REVIEW A PRODUCT : BOKITTA VOILA! HIJAB

          Last weekend was my 18^th birthday. Being 18 years old is not an easy task. Everything around me has changed. I look much older than I used to be, I do not need to wake up early to go to school and mostly, I do not need to wear uniform every weekdays. I am happy and satisfied with my new life, but there is one thing that I am still at worst handling it, and it is to wake up early, dress up and get ready for college. That is why my mom decided to give me a pair of ‘ready-to-wear’ hijab as my  18^th birthday present. How I wish I could realise it earlier. Hence, I decided to review and tell my opinions about this amazing product.

          The amazing product that my mom gave me is Bokitta Voila! Hijab. Bokitta released their first “ready-to-wear” hijab under their line two years ago and they get a lot of good feedback.  The concept of their hijab is ‘ready-to-wear’ hijab, that is mean the hijab can be worn without the need of any pin. The hijab is pre-stitched, hence we can wear it under 1 minutes. This concept really help me to cut my time off on getting ready to college. At the college, I don’t need to worry about losing any pins on my hijab as it is pre-stitched or spending too much time on fixing it as the hijab is suitable for any face shape.

          Bokitta claims that they choose only the best material for their hijab and give the best quality to their customers. The moment I wear it, the scarf is super comfortable and light weight.  Bokitta Voila! hijab is made from 100 percent breathable cotton. thus, it wont make us sweating as the air can pass through it. This is one of the benefits that I need as the travelling from my house to the college took quite some times. In addition, I don’t need to iron the hijab every morning as it does not need to be iron.

          Bokitta hijab promised to update their line to the latest trends and style. At the moment, they already have more than 30 colours and 70 patterns. Thus we can pick any colour and patterns to be worn with any outfits and is suitable for daily basis or any types of occations. Although the scarves are very stylish, they meet the requirement of covering the aurah properly. Hence, it is prayer friendly.   

          The range of price of The Bokkitta Voila! Hijab is from RM 79 to RM 200. Although it is quite pricey, but the quality, style and trends are appropriate for the price. The scarves are light weight but heavy duty. It is very convenient for travelling as they are light, does not need to be iron and pins.
