Ramadhan 1 takde, ramadhan 5 takder terus langkau Ramadhan 13. Save bajet orang kata hehe.

Why Ramadhan 13th so special for it deserved a post of it's own?

Those who's on my FB list should have known the reason being since I've shouted about it proudly and loudly earlier on..

"

Nor Azura

Today is rather historic. Alis completed full day of fasting. 1st attempt yet a successful one. No complaint, no asking or water or food at all whole day. Even Erin tempted her with foods and milk, she just cool-ly ignored. Pheww kids this day are indeed tough. Syukur alhamdullilah. Alis, cayaa lahhhhh :)

"

Yes, you read right!

My 5 years old completed her 1st day of puasa successfully. It's an impulse decision actually as I wasn't planning on start her training on fasting this year. Maybe next year in my thought. While I was having sahur with my husband, she woke up and join us so I prepared rice for her as well since she requested for it. Then my husband ask her if she wanted to try fasting that day and she said okay. I taught her niat puasa and briefly told her what she can and cannot do.

All day along, I've been keeping tap on her activities. I didn't allow her to play actively, worried she might get thirst after that. I encouraged her to do activities that doesn't need much energy like colouring. She obeyed me during the 1st 30 minutes or so and then started running, screaming and wrestling with Erin like there's no tomorrow. I'm just waiting consciously for any signal from her that she might need to breakfast earlier, but till after Asar, she's still very much energetic and determined to finish her puasa. Sooooo very unlike me. When I first started fasting, I remembered being melepek the whole day like kain buruk. Reaching Asar, I am already having hallucination. I think I saw oasis in the middle of my living room and practically crawled to it kah kah kah. Simply put, I'm not functioning at all.


Based on her previous experience having fasting people in the house, 1st was when I puasa ganti few months back and then arrival of Holy month Ramadhan, she knew fasting people will be treated extra special. When I was fasting, my husband won't allowed me to do hard job. I can skip cooking if I wanted to and we will either order take out or dine outside, depends on my liking. During ramadhan, I will r atleast try to cooked whatever my husband requested me to even if I never cook it before. So basically she got that idea and being a smart girl as she is, she used fasting as a weapon hoping we would buy it hahahah.

When it comes to foods, I will as best as I can, try to grant her whatever she feels like having for berbuka. However, things certainly got limits. She misunderstood about the fasting concept and thought that I will gave way and she will get away with anything on the account of she's fasting. I recalled this incident that day..

Alis messing up with Erin's book and teased her while she's coloring.

Erin : kakakkkkkkkk, jangan la kacau adik punya..

Alis : na na na na na... kakak puasaaaaa, mummy tak kan marah kakakkkk...

Excuseeeeee meeeeeee ......

Puasa or not, you did something wrong, I'll will definitely gave you what you deserved.

I think she learned her lesson that day :)

Well, of course, being her first day, our berbuka and sahur menu was decided by her. She wanted sushi for sahur, mummy will make sushi or you, no sweat. She wanted McDonald happy Meal for supper, her papa belikan Happy Meal pukul 12 tgh malam for her. Just for the sake to encouraged her, not to spoil her.


So anyway, this is what we had for Iftar ( day 13th) and Sahur (day 14th).




Maksud:











There's one more lauk that I forgot to snap which is Pindang Ikan Bawal.

And as for sahur....

Alhamdullilah tonight marked my third day performing Terawih and my first without muhrim a.k.a Mr Muddy. He's on night shift by the way. I got 2 lil "bodyguards" accompanying me anyhow so I'm quite relieved. I am so hoping and pray for strength to able to consistently perform terawih till 30th ramadhan this year Insya Allah. Allah loves small act of worship but done consistently.





My experiences during Terawih here calls for me to write this post, not to brag or gloat but to share few interesting things that I got to observed. Well, being the only "white" among the sea of black if you understand what I mean, although makes me feel a bit outcast since no familiar faces at all, gives me plenty of room to do my observation. Cuba kalau pergi dengan kawan2, sure bergebang asal ade masa free hehe. One very first thing I realized, jemaah here did not waste their time recklessly and make full use of all idle time by doing solat sunat non stop until imam utter Allahuakbar. This is contagious I must say, in a good way because I felt awkward by sitting and doing nothing but waiting while everyone else was obviously doing something beneficial so I also now, started doing solat sunat while waiting for Imam to start.



One of the challenges I face during solat, jemaah or not is to stop my mind from wandering. There's too many things playing, rewinding inside my head, obviously unnecessary thing it is. I, sometimes even "draft" my next post during solat, like seriously ! That is for sure something very embarassing and take a lots of courage for me to admit but it's nothin' but true.



What did I do to overcome this?



SO MANY THINGS !



I've tried so many method to get kusyuk in solat. I closed my eyes and try to focus to what I am currently reciting. Too focus till I forgot which rakaat I am in. I've read somewhere about this one tip which is to focus your eyes on only one part of sejadah while doing your recitation. I tried it out and guess what, sometimes it works but sometimes it brought my mind to think what kind of design was that, ooohhh this sejadah is sure very pretty, ah-haaa there's one un-synchronized curve in the pattern. Can arrrr like that?



All of this trial and error brought me to verbalize. So far this is the sole method that I found suits me and kinda work wonders. You know, when you do your recitation, u recite loud enough for you to hear yourself, soft enough to not let anyone close hear you. This sure works when you're alone at home, but how about when you're in solat jemaah. Sure you wouldn't want to disturb other person with your recitation. I can't really use that method in malaysia but in Q8, it's easier for me because most of the congregations did recite their reading pretty loud and penuh kekusyukan. Masya Allah



Moving on, I can concluded my first terawih here as eye opening and soul awakening experience.



Firstly, when I arrived, the ladies section in the mosque was like a mismanaged kindergarten. There's so many kids running around in that little space. Only 3 safs allocated for ladies in mosque near my building by the way. Crackers and biscuits are everywhere. There's few babies crying loudly and uncontrollably. It sure caused an uncomfortable environment. Then the Imam summoned the congregations for Isya' prayer and then terawih. I can't help but noticing there's some mothers pray while holding their baby. Subhanallah. Put aside the questions about how on earth could they perform and perfected their prayers while holding a restless baby. Definitely not without difficulties. I prefer to focus on their spirits, courage and patience. May Allah bless them and provide strength to them. One thing or sure, I know I don't have all THAT patience and spirits.



Secondly, terawih here was quite fast without much delay. After Isya', the imam will give away few minutes for solat sunat then straight away start the terawih. After every 2 rakaat, normally in Malaysia, there'll be short break but in here, the imam will proceed immediately. You give second salam then you got up for next 2 rakaat. This will lasted until 8th rakaat. Even for witir, there's no break in between. I noticed there's one Imam here will softly notify the jemaah that we will be doing sunnatul witir before takbir, however other Imam didn't and just continue. You need to make sure you didn't lost your count, tersalah niat, ended up doing witir while Imam and other jemaah doing Terawih, terbatal solat and having had to re-do your terawih.



Another thing is I noticed the surah pattern here. During Terawih, Imam will read longer Surah, those who I didn't recognize. My bad for not learning Arabic sooner. I always tried hard to catch the words, while enjoying the beautifully recited surah, you know to figure out the meaning but most of the time, I failed. I am sooo gonna learn Arabic soon Insya allah and I will also determine to memorize more surah. It will be nice if I can add more surahs to my databank ehhh..During Witir, Imam will recite surah lazim, you know the short-short ones, the one I normally read during my solat hehehe. By 9am mostly, terawih done. Anyhow, there's only 1 particular thing I like more about terawih in malaysia compared to Q8..............











MOREH !!!!!!



Who doesn't like moreh,.... There'll be hot coffee or tea, tasty and hearty light snacks or foods, fruits, biscuits, cakes.. It's all you can eat and it's all free. What's there not to like ?





Back on track, as we know it, Arabic was known for their harsh and rough personality. They're quite outspoken and loud I must say. During my 1st nite of Terawih, there's a huge fight between Kuwaitiyah group and Indian group. You see, Kuwaiti mostly have maids. One maid for each child so they didn't bring their kids to mosque.This scenario however doesn't applies to other foreigner. There's a group of Indian mothers who brought their kids to mosque for Teraweh and somehow, things went chaos. It's sooo noisy, the kids running around and in front jemaahs who is currently praying, they ate and make a mess, and of course they cried. like a lot. Since there's a bunch of them, they seated in groups and took almost quarter of the saf's space. This, unfortunately made some jemaah uncomfortable and experiencing hard time to concentrate to Imam. I can understand actually because I'm having had time myself to even concentrate to my Al-Fatihah when there's a kid crying loudly to my earlobe. Anyway, soon after the terawih done, this Kuwaiti ladies approached the Indi@n group and kinda scolded them loudly, publicly complete with body and hand gesture. Although I didn't really understands the details as they spoken in Arabic ( sighhhh I really need to learn Arabic lahhh ), I can pretty much guessed what was been talked about due to the finger pointing to the babies than to the ears and baby again. One of the ladies kept shouting word Quran! Quran!. Lucky there's no phsyical contact involved. Quite a scene huhhh.. In my opinion, the Arab's ladies can at least tried to be a little understanding of this situations while the Indi@n mothers at least can do some efforts, maybe try to put their kids to sleep, or give milks or pacifier. Or maybe something that could comfort and distracted their babies like bantal busuk ker, toys ker, although not all the time this will work out... And as for the older child, always try to educate them to always remain silent and respect someone who's performing solat. They won't listened the first time but they will if you keep repeating it to them. You know if both side play their parts, things will got easier and better for all. As for me, I am so lucky for my kids behave so well, adaptive and being good from the beginning till the end. Before leave the house, I kept telling them to keep quiet, stay seated and do not running around in the mosque cause Allah won't like it, and other people also won't like it. If they refused to listen to what I say and caught while being naughty and noisy, I won't help them ha ha ha ha. Alhamdulillah, they stay seated at the corner I asked them too and remained silent all the time. There's even some Kuwaiti that approached them, patted their head and praised my girls for being good. Sungguh bangga hati ini..



Anyway, there's still minor fights on the second nite but it got better on the third. Alhamdullilah..



There's few interesting things I wanted to share here, based on my observation. I had the opportunity to witnessed few different practices that vary from our norm. Different doesn't mean they did something wrong, please be clear about this.



* After takbir, we normally place right hand on top of left hand, on the area above pusat and below breast. In here, they positioned their hand on the chest, breast for ladies.

I did some surfing last night out of curiosity, and found out that based on Imam Hanafi, the correct area was on the chest but based on other opinions from other Ulama', it should be above pusar. There's no definite hadith that say the exact area :) so just do as per normal and as how you were taught but it's always better to follow how Rasullullah solat, which is by placing your right hand on top of your left on your chest. Wallahualam.



* After Ruku', during iktidal, we say takbiratul ihram, qiyam ( berdiri tegak) and place our hand to our side for a second before Sujud. It's called toma'ninah. In here, during iktidal and toma'ninah, they placed their hand on chest and make another takbir before Sujud.



* During Takbir, as I was taught, we raised both hands up level to shoulder line, palms turned towards Qiblat, while reciting Allahu Akbar. In here, some ladies raised their hands up to their ears(like men) and some, above their head. I also saw some ladies that close their both ears while takbir, u know gesture u spontaneously do when you hear something loud.



* During Tahiyat, we will raise index finger upward while reciting

" Asyhadu allaa ilaaha illallaah, Waasyhadu anna Muhammadan rasuulullaah "



and drop it down while we're done that part. However here, they will constantly move their index finger and kept tapping it.



* Their seating position for Tahiyat Awal and Tahiyat Akhir were the same, unlike us. Their Tahiyat Akhir position was the same as Tahiyat Awal.



* I was taught that maximum moves can be made before terbatal nya solat kite adelah 3 if done continuosly. However, jemaah here moves quite frequently I tell you. As all of us aware, arabic ladies pray using abaya only. There's no telekung whatsoever for them unlike us. Among their typical movements is arranging and tidying their shawl-like hijab, straighten sleeves of their abaya, re-arranging their accesories ect: bracelet and necklace and I saw some ladies kinda swung her body to the front and back while Imam reciting surah. However, there's also some "major" movements like cleaning dust or dirt in front them. I swear I didn't made this up. Jemaah beside me last nite did some cleaning before she sujud. Unfortunately there's a small plastic and piece of paper so she took her time cleaned it up, moving the dirt off her sujud area. Only few days back my hubby told me he saw jemaah near him, taking out some paper from his pocket after takbir, read it briefly, put it back and back into position heheh..



Rest assure, I couldn't sleep without finding out about this so I went online and check. From my finding, based on Mazhab Syafi'iy, you are allowed to move 3 times continuously before solat terbatal. However, according to other mazhab, there's no specific limitation of how much you can move in solat before your solat void. In short, there's no dalil that says specifically how many movements you can make in solat so it is debatable. Every follower of each mazhab will follow whatever is guided by their local ulama. This is why you can see most jemaah in middle east countries moves quite a lot during solat because they were taught that way. Please take note that movement was not part of Rukun Solat. The rukun solat must still berpandukan Al-Quran dan sunnah no matter what mazhab you followed.



* For elders or those who unfit, there's kelonggaran given in how they can perform solat. They can sit on chairs or sit totally on floor, or lie down and for worst case like paralyzed patients, they can just move their eyes. Praying using chairs here are normal view. At least there'll be 10 jemaah praying using chairs every night. Anyway, I noticed, they will stand during takbir until Imam finished reciting Al-Fatihah. Then they will sit on the chair until Imam finished or about to finish reading Surah and continue solat as usual. This will repeat every rakaat. They'll stand during Al-fatihah and seated after that till after Surah. I couldn't find any opinion on this but I feel it is safe to say that this also are part of their local culture. If any of you found some opinion or know anything about this, do share yeah...



Well I guess that's all I wanted to share for now. I'll write some more if I saw something interesting and worth to share.



May this post brings goodness and not other way around.

Anybody who believes that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach flunked geography. ~Robert Byrne



I'm sorry Mr Byrne. I just had to disagree with you on this.



The belly rules the mind.



Anyway, with the arrival of Ramadhan, it'll only be natural when suddenly all the weird cravings surfaced. Sebelum ni takde rasa nak makan pun, bile masuk bulan puasa, macam macam lak tekak ni terasa rasa nak makan. So, below are a few meals I prepared to entertain our "cravings", me and hubby combined. It may doesn't taste as origin as the one you may get at pasar ramadhan but I think I'm getting closer.





1) KETUPAT SOTONG aka TUPAT SUTUN



This is by far, the one and solely pantai Timur meal that I dun get, no actually I refused to understand the concept. Being half Johorian/half melaka-ian and half Singaporean, I was raised to believed squid tastes it's best in Sambal or any spicy type of meals due to it's strong smells and squidy taste. When I married Mr Muddy and was introduced to this meal, I rebelled and sooo against it. Ha Ha Ha dramatic sungguh. I mean seriously, sotong is already hanyir, then you stuffed it with glutinous rice and cooked with santan and gula merah. The combination was soooooo wrong in my cooking textbook. However, when my husband came back with a kilo of huge sotong and hinted that sotong THIS size will make a perfect ketupat sotong, I decided to give in and give it a try.



I just didn't know where to place this meal though. It's neither desserts nor it's a main dish. Sotong was normally cooked as main dish but with glutinous rice and the pengat-like gravy, it's more to desserts. Aishhh dunno lah.. Below are my 1st attempt and my oh my it was indeed a sweet stuff. To makes it sweeter, my husband rated my ketupat sotong as perfect ! Suddenly I felt like a kitchen goddess heh heh heh...







2 ) KETUPAT SARDIN aka EPOK EPOK SARDIN



I had to admit that this was mine. To me, karipap sardin significant to my Ramadhan at Subang Perdana when I first started working, around 7 years ago. After I graduated, I stayed at my sister's place in Subang Perdana. Even when I got a job at Bandar Sri Damansara, I chose to remained at Subang and commute daily from Subang to Bdr Sri Damansara. One tough job I must say as I need to changed a few buses, then walked almost 1 km up the Damansara hill daily but I survived for almost 1/2 year. Things got tougher during Ramadhan. Most of the time I had to breakfast with only air kotak and bread under the fly over while waiting for my bus. However, all the painful experience somehow compensated when I got home and found 2 ringgit of Karipap Sardin waiting for me. My sister will buy for me Karipap Sardin from Subang Perdana bazar ramadhan for me without failed everyday. It's the best karipap sardin ever I would sulked and gone sour the whole night if the makcik didn't sell it on any particular day.



Malaysian used to called Karipap but in Singapore people called it Epok Epok. It's basically the same thing. Among benefits of having kampung over the sea huhhh...You get to know a thing or two about other cultures.



Iyo lahhhhhhh over the sea sangat la kannn hahah..



Well, obviously this year I won't be having chance to buy my favourite Karipap Sardin like I used to so I tried to imitate it.

During my daily blog-walking, I've read a lot of insight, personal views, opinions and words of encouragement of the Holy Month of Ramadhan. However, among many of those, THIS bits of personal thoughts moved my heart. It says all I wanted to say but never find the courage to do so. I had this so much things going on in mind but failed to put into words so it will came out beneficial for myself and others. At certain points, I felt that the article was meant for me.

As far as I can recall, after my high school, I never really appreciates Ramadhan the correct way, the righteous way as demanded by Him. I've spent too much of my time and energy focusing on other duniawi stuffs that I saw so many Ramadhans passed by just like that and never really try to deemed as many rewards as I can.

Tawawih ? ohh I can really came up with so many excuses. Too tired from work. Caught in jammed so barely made it home for breakfast, left alone tarawih. Kids too small and too hassle to bring them. Need to wakes up early for sahur and work, so need to sleep early and bla bla bla... I, my friends, are the master of excuses.

Qiamul lail ? Same as above.. * bangs head on walls*

Baca Quran ? Again, same as above..

Simply put, I used to got caught up with my daily routines, itching over baju raya, langsir raya, kueh raya, worried If I ever made it to Bazar Ramadhan, I forgot the most important things of my being, my purpose. To serve Him, To Obey Him and nothing else.

So.. who am I to questioned Him why things doesn't go my way? Why things didn't go as planned? Why I'm like this and why I'm like that?

When I decided to resigned from work and followed my husband here, I personally thought it was for the betterment of our family. I thought I made some sacrifices for the sake of my kids. I had peoples came to me and say how I could simply gave up my 6 years of position just like that. Don't I feel somewhat regret since after my husband contract's ended, I need to start all over if I ever want to work again. Honestly, I really have no idea of how to answer to all those questions.

Anyhow, now I can say that I know the answer. I don't have regrets, not even tiniest bits for my decision. I actually am glad. I realized now, that He gave me opportunity to self reflect on myself and improved my many lacking. He, the Almighty still have some mercy on me for He gave me this opportunity to remorse and repent. I used to think that I surrendered my job for my family. I was wrong ! I was actually resigned from my work for me, for myself. I just need this "space" for me and I really felt I am on the right track.

This Ramadhan,

I have so many things I've tasked myself, so many things I targeted for myself, I felt that one month is not enough. May Allah help me and make my way easier and smoother this months and months onwards. May we were given the strength to redeemed all the goodness this month have to offer.

This Ramadhan,

I wish to not "pause" and resume my bad habits like my previous Ramadhan were but was hoping for permanent changes Insya Allah.

This Ramadhan,

I hope I can develop self-restraint to every part of my body, not only my stomach.

I hope to restrain my tongue from backbiting and gossiping.

I hope to not touch something that doesn't belong to me.

I hope that my eyes don't see anything that's unlawful.

I hope to restraint my mouth from saying obscene words and restraint my ear from listening obscene words.

I hope to shape up my personality and purify my heart so it will leads my words and my actions to a correct and righteous way.

I also hope to be able to re-evaluate my personal lives under principles of Islam.

And I hope I was given enough courage and strength to make peace with anyone in my life no matter I wronged them or they wronged me.

As you can see, there's a lot of hopes we're talking about here.


Above all, I do pray that I came out a better person once Ramadhan's departure.

Amin !

In my opinion, there's no better way to embrace arrival of Ramadhan other than sadaqah to which we were gladly hosted a small majlis meyambut Ramadhan yesterday. We decided to invite my husband's colleagues and friends from "bujang" group. Owhhh they're definitely married. It just that some of them came work here under single packages while others were temporarily wife-less due to long summer break. Due to my hopelessly lacking in culinary skills, no assistant and limited space, I can only afford to invite small amount of people this time. Hmmmmm naahhhhh ..I think it's more on my culinary skills kah kah kah...Insya allah in the near future, jika di izinkan Allah and di murahkan rezeki, I would really glad to invite another batch of guests for another majlis, berbuka puasa maybe. This time for family pulak. As the old saying goes, "Quantity does not equal quality "


Since the majlis adelah kecil kecilan, maka menu pun kecil kecilan lah yer.. One thing for sure, when hosting an event like this, I would definitely chose a list of menu that I am comfortable and confident with. Simply put, I will always chose to be in a safe side. Biarlah orang kata menu tak exclusive kaaa, lauk kampung kaaaa.. kata lahhhh... There's no point being adventurous if my guests doesn't like my food. One more thing, the menus decided must complimented each other. Kena masuk "gu" orang ganu kata... For examples, if you already have ayam goreng, then it won't be suitable to be making ayam kari pulak, unless you had junior guests that day. Asam pedas and tomyam doesn't get along well. It's one or another. You sure wouldn't want to confuse your guests. Biar sederhana janji the dish completed each other. Owh one more thing, always be considerate by extend some efforts and offered some varieties. Some guests likes spicy stuff while some guests can't handle it, hence always have courtesy by preparing both type. Beverages also play crucial roles. If you're serving some hearty heavy meals, then always try to go for light drinks like syrup. And always prepare both hot drinks and cold drinks, just in case as some people doesn't drink ice or cold water. Always get to know and study your list of guests. A little extra efforts won't harm you. These is something I learned from experiences. Well, just take it as humble 2 cents from The Real Housewife of Mangaf Season 1 ! Ecehcehcehceh...

Anyhoo, this is what we had that nite...

This is sequel from THIS...

We received a call from Mustaza informing that our civil id is ready for collection. Anyhow, you can just check online from Public Authority of Civil Information's (PACI ) official website about your current application status. If your civil id ready then you'll also be provided with number of machine where you need to obtain your civil id. The website is very well maintained, pretty straight forward, got English and Arabic version and very easy to navigate too. They even uploaded Utube clip on how to use the vending machine. It got all features I ever needed in a website. What's there not to like ?


By far, this is the most hi-tech system I've ever experienced in Q8. Not only it is hi-tech, it was very user friendly and very accommodating. The whole process took less than 5 minutes and that's what I called convenient !

Since there's guard everywhere watching and monitoring us ( okkkayyy statement perasan, actually they had to monitor everybody, not only us. That's what they were paid to do what so no offense yea Mr Security ) with their hawk-eye's attitude, I knew that I couldn't get to take any picture in PACI too. However, my hubby understood that his blogger wannabe wife always find a post without picture least attractive, so he took his chances by taking below spy pictures. Arghhhh life is so much more easier with him around. You can never count on me for taking spy pics okayy. Tak kira la dekat government offices ke, kat boutique ker, kat pasar ker and whatnot. I'll have guilty looks plastered all over my face even before taking any picture, just imagine my expression after taken one. I remembered attempted to take mixer photo for my mom at local supermarket here and my oh my I sweat profusely like marathoner who just done her 10 km run and kept looking around hence, I passed. I could easily get caught just because of my silly suspicious expression.

As this is our first time here, we need to go inside the office. The security officer by the main door there will give you ticket with number once you showed him your passport. You just need to wait until your number being called. At the counter, you will be given a temporary card to be insert inside the vending machine outside. In my case, since we're paying Mandouk aka Mustaza for our civil ID process, he did almost everything for us. All I need just show my face, collect my ticket number and seated. He said "Okay U wait here madame" and so I waited. When my number was called, he got up and collected our card, while I am still seating comfortably. Once settled, he came to me and said, " Madame come follow me madame " and being a good madame, I obeyed. As I said, I just needed to show my face. Heheheh life is so much more fun when Mustaza is around. Well not so much fun for my hubby's pocket though. Anyway, if you're just doing renewal for you civil id, you can skip this process, instead just go straight to the machine and insert your old civil id to get your renewed one, of course after your paperwork is done. If you forget to check online for your machine number, do not worry because the officer by the counter can provide you with the info.

My civil id and hubby's was in machine number 21, Alis's in machine number 3 while Erin's in machine number 9. Although hubby's already got his civil ID earlier, the address used was not entirely correct hence he need to get it change to match with our rental lease.

It's very simple process even 5 year old can do. Just insert the little temp card, wait for the machine to read, process and allocate your civil id. You will be asked to insert KD 2 so make sure you have sufficient small change. Once you paid, your civil id will be dropped inside the box for you to retrieved. As easy as ABC, you know exactly the same process when you're buying pepsi or paying parking ticket at shopping complex.

Lately I noticed that my fb mail was flooded with weird suspicious mail from unknown people. It didn't bother me at first simply because my only way of handling spam mail like this was delete button. However, it kept coming up to certain time, I'll received this kind of mail almost everyday and some sender we quite persistent by keep resending it when I didn't reply.

Below are some of the messages sent to me.. 5 cukup lah kang bubuh semua ade yang muntah ijau lak bahahahahah...


































Oh come on, like seriously ! They don't expect me to believe whatever point they have in their message don't they? From strangers somemore.. Bahhhh.. In fact, first thing came to mind when received all those messages was..

DID MY FB ACCOUNT'S SECURITY IN JEOPARDY? WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? TIGHTEN THE SECURITY? BUT HOW LAR ?

Of course my husband read all those messages. In fact, he saw some of the messages earlier than me cause I don't check my fb frequently but he did heheheh... Rest assured, he did took some security measurement on my fb account. Locked all my albums, restricted it to only friends can view it, update latest security features and all those recommended blah.

What was his conclusion out of this scenario ?

NI SUMER NAK JADIKKAN MUMMY KELDAI DADAH ( DRUG TRAFFICKER) LA NIH...

Well, as ridiculous as it may sound, it might be true you know.. It is just not logical when 10 strangers adult man showing interrest in being your fb friends, almost at the same time, out of sudden. Rightt?

I am making sense here right?

I believed I am not the only one facing this, it just that I didn't know anyone in my circle of friends receiving this kind of mail as none of them ever mentioned it to me...

So should any of you have ever experienced things like this, do share with me what did you do. Delete? Report? Blocked? Ignore?

For now, I didn't reach the point of reporting all those sender to fb administrator because me myself can't be sure of genuinity of those messages. I dun even know if their picture was real. Buat nye betul2 nak tambah kenalan, sendiri termalu paranoid bukan bukan. Even so, I don't think I would accept their friend requests though as I don't even know them. The reason I opened fb was to keep in touch and exchange updates with friends, relatives and acquaintances in my life, those whom I know personally, and I positively would like to keep it that way.
