happy moments for 4th september was when i were in the bus to school when i see pakcik-pakcik with songkok haji walking towards the bus stop, in the bus opposite of mine, on the scooter, etc.
my bus normally passed by the mosque and the sight that i saw was just after friday's prayers.
i supposed the pakcik-pakcik are on their way back to work or back home.
friday's prayers is a weekly prayer,
i personally think it is a good way of holding the community together.
while attending it,
they are made to listen to khutbah to be aware of what is happening or to be reminded of the right way.
when i looked through the muis website,
the khutbah has really interesting topics,
normal everyday lives such as family, budgeting, marriage, etc.
now,
just imagine.
instead of the head of the family attending it,
ladies were the ones to attend it.
i think it might be uneffective.
instead of listening,
some of the ladies might chit chat and not pay attention to what is brought across.
get what i mean?
thus,
maybe that can be one of the reasons why men are to attend it?
maybe one other reason is that ladies who are homemakers can't just live their young children alone if they were made to attend it.
i am not too sure.
correct me if i'm wrong.
=)
the sight of what i saw made me realised that they are all from different walks of life but they all have a same belief.
and i am glad that i also share the same belief.
another happy moments for 4th september was when we went to geylang bazaar.
it was together with the partner, his parents and i.
his aunt did joined us for a while before making her way back.
not that i like squeezing myself through people,
but the results of it.
like the past years,
his parents would buy the both of us a pair of baju.
it is the same for this year.
so we went to geylang yesterday to find ourselves a matching pair of baju.
what was surprising was that instead of 1 baju,
i have 2!
not that it was planned.
i am supposed to have 1,
however while passing by a stall,
the partner's mom and i set our eyes on the pretty baju that was being displayed.
and after exchanging our views,
she decided to get for me one.
i was reluctant since they already bought for me one.
but in the end,
i end up trying the baju.
i can never thanked his parents enough,
they are really generous.
alhamdullilah.
and to end my day,
they went up to my house to have a chat with my elderlies.
if only i gave up in life,
i wouldn't know what the future holds.
i mean hard times never last.
that goes the same for easy times.
so i think i should be a little more patient to see through it.
syukur alhamdullilah.
