Time is so precious and time just seemed to have flown by me the whole month.
What do I remember this month by? I can think of about 3 meaningful events:
1) 12 Rabi`ul Awal~ The birth and death of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w
The noble soul sent as Rahmatan lil `alamin whose birthday was celebrated on the last Friday of the month. This year the celebration held so much meaning after a long while of trying to find meaning to a lot of things in my life. The Selawat we performed among the jemaah at PAKSI would hopefully gather us as His ahli syufa`ah, InsyaALLAH!
2) The meeting with Naz on her last few and precious days left in Malaysia before flying back to cold, cold Norway.
Thanks for having us Naz, and that's what you get when you haven't seen each other for ages...so much to catch up on...wish we went to see you earlier.
Though I haven't set foot on Norwegian soil, glad that my chocolates have found it's way there! We're still experiencing heat wave here and wouldn't it be just nice if you could send some snow here to bring equilibrium to the weather equation!
Salam to Trond and the kids!
3) My chocolate project which is slowly taking off with some CNY sale. So happened CNY fell on Valentine's day, which is celebrated by some, myself excluded.
A funny incident here: A friend of a friend bought herself a 15 piece box which was beautifully tied with a giant satin ribbon.
Reason: To extract some reaction from her seemingly uninitiated spouse, thinking that even if it didn't get her his attention, she would still get to enjoy the chocolates. Sounds logical isn't it? Nothing to lose and something to gain. Any smart investor would know when to bet all your chips!
Well , it did ~ cos he did give her an ~UMMM...?" when she replied she didn't know who it was from.
The thing is ...her kids didn't want her to eat the chocolates, screaming that since she didn't know who it was from, the chocolates could be charmed and she might forget all 3 of them!
Finally, she had to come clean and tell them actually she bought the box for herself!
Hmm...so much for trying to awaken the sleeping passion!
