Papa
The Lover of Nature

MashaALLAH, it has been 60 years since Allah has Given you life!!
It sure seem to be a long way since,
However as your daughter 
I am very sure that you have collected as many "Pahala" you can get throughout,
by being the best man in the family!!
You have never failed to provide your family with everything we need,
and sometimes even more than what we need,
physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

May your days be filled with more and more "Pahala"
and may all of your children be able to repay your sweat and blood,
and make you proud,
insyaALLAH..

Mama
The most beautiful Woman in my life.

At this age, I think mama still looks young and pretty!!!
I have always admired her beauty in every way that she is..
She is not only a mother but also a very understanding friend to me..
She works really hard to achieve her goals
and has helped thousands of Malaysians become Doctors.
Thank you for always being there for us even though,
your schedule is always very tight,
It is apparent that she dedicates her life only to ALLAH,
as she has very very little time to rest.

May ALLAH Give you many happy returns
insyaALLAH..


Thank you for your Unconditional Love 
and Never-ending Duas.

WE
(ummi, walid, and mashary)

SO
SO 
MUCH

Alexandria - fun family time..

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem

Many thanks to The Almighty ALLAH for the gift of holidays, lovely friends and fun times!!

Ummi Walid and Mashary, together with Khali Luqman and U.J Khyriyah packed our bags and headed off to Alexandria right at the beginning of the winter holidays.

We were soo excited that we got invited to Princess Raudhah's 1st birthday bash!!!
I am still amazed at how Mamaraudhah was able to organise 
an almost perfect birthday party for her lil darling..
the decor and food were amazing..and so were the company!
Ummi met some long lost friends and made many new ones..
am missing all of them already

The photos below are self-explanatory for describing the fun fun times we had..




We extend our gratitude to Raudhah's beautiful family for their homey hospitality..
We hope to see all Alexandrians friends in our home in Mansoura soon!!
insyaALLAHU

the warmth of togetherness..

Bismillah Walhamdulillah..

It is currently approaching midnight and I am feeling sleepy but very excited to quickly write this post.

So we have been having honorable guests over at our home and Alhamdulillah they were all definitely the bearer of Rahmaat <3

Muawwidz ( One of  Walid's besties) together with Faten, his ever-so-friendly wife decided to visit the Mansoura Babies, Zidane & Solah...

So when two best friends meet, along with other adjoining talented people, they turned our living room into a very lively studio...

At first Walid's guitar started to regain its sound again..after being deserted for soo long..haha..and then a few new instruments moved in. The Percussion box, an Ukulele, and a Keyboard!!!! 
Wow, was I mesmerized !!!

They decided to cover 'Senyum' in conjunction with many heart-breaking (???) events that happened lately throughout the whole world..
the facebook world to be more precise..





Faten and I also had amazing bonding times, we just chatted through days and nights, sharing experiences, exchanging ideas and interests, recipes, and so much more..

Till Faten decided to thank us buy preparing Lunch, MashaALLAH!!!

Please ignore the gigantic kitchen utensils used, but rather focus on the yumminess of the meals..
 We had Spaghetti Carbonara (or was it fettucini ) with some Fruit Salad..
Thanks so much dear, you fed us well !!!!

Because the recording took some time to finish,
Faten decided to give me a treat..guess what???

This picture does not do justice to the beauty of the drawing..
*note below
However, we had a good laugh when Zidane woke up and demanded to be fed, then got my henna all smudged everywhere..

I still remember Faten saying, "tak ape, nampaklah macam bukan inai pengantin baru, inai for a new mom..

;)

To our lovely guests (including the band members)
Thanks for coming and giving our cold winter days some heat and spark,
we definitely appreciate your company,
and we appologize for our badhospitality..
:(

Hope to see you again soon!
Insya ALLAH!!

wow, i think this looks kinda cool!!

ill have a try and see if I'll get a part in the song..

No!!! I think I miss my Susu!!!!!!!!!!!!!



* Faten does Moroccan-inspired henna for any occasions. She is currently in Cairo but goes back to Malaysia for holidays.

from Hurghada with Love..

Bismillah Walhamdulillah..

Here is a slideshow of pictures of our latest 'real vacation' in Hurghada,
(Walid says with a baby in the house it feels like having a vacation everyday!!)

It was about 8 hours drive from our home in Mansoura,
There were 8 Adults and Two little infants,
our chubby almost 4 mo Muhammad Mashary Zidane,
and the cutey almost 2 mo Muhammad Solah Syahadah!

We had soo much fun although it was a bit challenging to travel long haul with these two little bosses..
but they weren't bossy at all ..! haha
It was an adventurous and enjoyable vacation.
The view of the deep blue sea and vast open desert made it a relaxing one.
Not to mention the wonderful weather!!!!!
Though a bit chilly in the late evenings, it is almost perrrfect during the day!!!
it was bright and sunny but was not hot at all..the softly blowing winds really made my day..

I would also like to recommend the Bella Vista Hotel in Downtown.
a very nice b&b hotel..
:)

Enjoy this clip.
and if you're in Egypt, this place is a must-visit !!!
