FRUITS TARTLETS FOR POTLUCK

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُه

&

Good Day

It has been a while since my last baking.

 After few episodes of tragedy, I am actually still not ready to turn ON my oven.

BUT, my Mr hubby had requested for a potluck dish just recently, for his department's Deepavali & Chiristmas potluck party last Wednesday. 

As usual, his potluck party was fully stuffed with sinfully delicious home made goodies that can be translated into a parade of Malaysian cuisines! 

Mainly attributed to the multiracial ambiance at work, they feasted it on different cuisines from different races. I believe that their experience was actually more than just a delight to the palate. It's beyond sharing different cultures through food.

Overall, according to hubby, the party was a very filling and scrumptious lunch experience. On the other light, it was also inspiring to share each ones culinary skills and creations. 

Apparently, according to Mr Hubby, they love my fruits tarts..

till next potluck time, I guess.. hahahaha

I m very please to share my evergreen Fruits Tartlets Recipe.. 

I believe that fruits tart recipe is nothing new, as it is very common to every bloggers out there. BUT, for those who are still trying out for d best recipe..

Here is your next challenge..

Good Day

Debaran penantian keputusan PMR 2012 telah pun berakhir apabila keputusannya telah diumumkan pada pagi ini.

Students of SMKUSJ12 are waiting patiently for d announcement of result..

My eldest daughter, NURSYAFIQAH SAHIRA made us proud today. 

She scored straight A's in her PMR 2012. 

Another bench mark is being set for her siblings to follow.

She was announced as one of the 121 pupils who scored straight A's in the SMK USJ12.

Happy tears came out from my eyes, once her name was announced as the straight A's achiever.

However, I saw sad tears also here & there..

To those and many more who scored 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 A's..

Some were distraught, that parents & friends had to console them. 

This good news reminds me of my late father. 

Normally, he will be the 1st person to call, to find out about his grandchildren's result. 

I remembered that he called my girl every day on the exams week, just to check out whether she can answer the paper or not.

Arwah Ayah pernah berseloroh mengenai keputusan PMR Sahira..

ARWAH ATUK : Kalau Kakak dapat A, nanti Atuk bagi RM1/A

SAHIRA : Alaaa... RM1 je.. Apa kelassss...

ARWAH ATUK: Ala.. Kakak tunjuk aje la result tu nanti kat Atuk.. Nanti Atuk bagi lah hadiah..

SAHIRA : Ok..
Memang sudah menjadi kebiasaan Arwah untuk memberi rewards pada setiap pencapaian cemerlang cucu-cucunya.

Today, Atuk is no longer around to witness the result..

Semoga roh Arwah sentiasa dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan mereka yang beriman dan beramal soleh.. AMINN..

Good Day
This is actually a belated BIRTHDAY wish to my NURSYAFIQAH LIYANA

That was a day after the tragedy of d dismissed of my beloved father.

AND.. today is the 12th day of the great lost.

Unfortunately, we didn't afford to celebrate her birthday on d exact date, as we are still in the deep mourning, grief over the death of my late father/her grandfather.

However, ALLAH is great in HIS planning.. 

Fortunately, we had arranged a PRE-BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION for her on d last week of schooling with her friends & teachers @ school, on d 6 November 2012.

So, basically, we did not missed d celebration to disappoint her.

Nursayfiqah Liyana with her class teacher, Puan Lisa and her 4 Usaha's classmates.

I purposely  keep these set of photos of d celebration, with d intention to post a birthday entry on d 30 November 2012. 
BUT, the 291112 tragedy left my intention on hold..

Kita hanya boleh merancang, ALLAH jua yang menentukan segalanya.

Thank you very much to Puan Lisa for helping to forward the photos of d celebration to me.

ogyep made Chocolate Indulgence for her. 
The theme for the day was d SMURFETTE PARTY.

 

Chocolates's as Birhday's favour

AYAHANDA MANAP BIN REPIN TELAH KEMBALI KE RAHMATULLAH

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ 

Al-Fatihah....

Hari Khamis, 15 Muharram 1434H bersamaan 29 November 2012 mencatatkan satu peristiwa sedih & menyayat hati bagi keluarga ogyep..

Perginya Ayahanda tercinta menghadap Illahi pada usia beliau 73 tahun..

Perginya tidak diduga.. 

Tragedi 29 November 2012 itu akan sentiasa meninggalkan kenangan pahit buat kami sekeluarga..

Sesungguhnya, kami sekeluarga redha dengan ketentuan Illahi.. 

BUAT AYAHANDAKU TERCINTA..

Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah memerintah kami untuk bersyukur dan berbuat baik kepada ibu dan bapa, dan berwasiat agar kami menyayangi mereka berdua sebagaimana mereka telah mendidiki kami sewaktu kecil.

Ya Allah sayangilah kedua orang tua kami. Ampuni, rahmati dan redhailah mereka.

Ya Allah ampunilah AYAH KU, dengan keampunan menyeluruh yang dapat menghapuskan dosa-dosa AYAH KU yang lampau dan perbuatan buruk yang AYAHANDAKU lakukan.

Ya Allah, berbuat baiklah kepada AYAHANDAKU sebanyak kebaikan AYAH kepada kami setelah dilipatgandakan, dan pandanglah AYAH dengan pandangan kasih sayang sebagaimana AYAH dahulu memandang ku.

Ya Allah berilah AYAH hak rububiyah-Mu yang telah AYAH sia-siakan kerana sibuk mendidik kami, adik-baradik.


Ampunkanlah segala kekurangan AYAH dalam mengabdi kepada-Mu kerana mengutamakan kami sekeluarga.

Ampunkanlah AYAH atas segala dosa, maksiat dan syubahat yang AYAH jalani dalam usaha menghidupkan kami.

Ya Allah berilah AYAH bahagian ganjaran dari ketaatan yang Engkau hidayahkan kepada kami, kebaikan yang Engkau mudahkan bagi kami, dan taufiq yang telah mendekatkan kami kepada-Mu.

Dan jangan bebankan kepada AYAH segala dosa dan kesalahan yang kami lakukan dan tanggungjawab yang kami abaikan. Dan janganlah tambahkan dosa kami ke atas dosa AYAH.

Bagi ibu bapa dan nenek moyang kami yang telah meninggal, berikanlah mereka rahmat yang menerangi pembaringan mereka di kubur dan rahmat yang menimbulkan rasa aman ketika manusia merasa ketakutan saat dibangkitkan. Jadikanlah lubang kubur mereka daripada taman-taman syurga. Jauhkan lubang kubur mereka salah satu daripada lubang-lubang api neraka.

Ya Allah lemah lembutlah kepada AYAH yang berbaring di kubur dengan kelembutan yang melebihi sikap lembut AYAH kepada KU di masa hidup AYAH.

Ya Allah janganlah sampaikan kepada AYAH berita tentang kami, ana-anaknya yang mengecewakan AYAH, dan jangan bebankan dosa-dosa kami kepada AYAH.

Jangan hinakan AYAH di hadapan pasukan kematian, malaikat Munkar dan Nakir dengan perbuatan-perbuatan hina dan mungkar yang kami lakukan.

Senangkanlah roh mereka dengan amal-amal kami, anak-anaknya di tempat pertemuan para arwah, ketika orang yang soleh bergembira dengan putera-puteri mereka yang soleh. Janganlah jadikan AYAH ternoda oleh perbuatan buruk kami.

Ya Allah jadikanlah kami penyejuk hati AYAH pada hari berdirinya para saksi. Dan jadikanlah mereka orang-orang yang paling cemburu dengan keberhasilan anak-anak mereka hingga Engkau kumpulkan kami, mereka dan segenap kaum muslimin di negeri kemuliaan-Mu, tempat menetapnya rahmat-Mu, dan tempat para wali-Mu bersama orang-orang yang Engkau beri kenikmatan,

Yaitu, para nabi, shiddiqin, syuhada dan solihin, mereka itulah sebaik-baiknya teman.
Demikianlah kurnia dari Allah dan Allah cukup mengetahui. Selawat dan salam semoga dilimpahkan Allah kepada junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad S.A.W, keluarga dan para sahabat baginda.

Walhamdulillahi Rabbil `Aalamin.  AMIN.. (sumber doa dari abubasyer.blogspot)

Semoga Ayahanda MANAP BIN REPIN ditempatkan di kalangan mereka yang beriman & beramal-soleh.. 

InshaAllah.. AMIN

ogyep mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada saudara-mara, teman-teman & sahabat handai Ayahanda MANAP yang telah meluangkan masa menziarahi jenazah..
