FORTUNATE WEEKEND

3rd Wk
Sat, 16 May. Late morning, we visited Mother together with sis and aunt. It was a very short visit and i felt guilty for not able to stay longer. Hopefully we can visit her again on the next weekend. Then, we headed to Toa Payoh Central and hang around until late afternoon. On that particular afternoon Bro informed us that there will be "Syarahan" held at his place at 7.45pm. Rather than heading to nowhere we agreed to attend the "Syarahan".

Unexpectedly, once we were there it was actually a Forum Perdana. We were so excited when we saw the banner, usually we watched the Forum Perdana that was broadcast from M'sia . Topic for that night was "Permata yang Hilang" eventhough it was a 100% Singaporean, it was a night to remember as we got two great panels Ustaz Hasan Saiful Rizal and Ustaz Tengku Mohamad Fouzy Jumat. The moderator for this forum was Uztaz Abdul Rahim Yusof and the presenter was... *drum roll*............my Bro dah.., a surprise indeed, he did not mentioned to me earlier. We gained knowledge and really glad to be there. The "Permata yang Hilang" is actually AKHLAK, our manners, etiquette, politeness, couteousness eventually is fading towards our siblings, friends, teachers, spouse, children and especially our parents. I wish we can follow our Rasulullah saw examples for known to have AKHLAK YANG MULIA. Here is the brief synopsis of the topic which was brought up:-

"Masaalah keruntuhan AKHLAK bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang baru. Ia wujud pada setiap zaman yang menyerusup masuk tampa disedari melalui pelbagai aspek kehidupan samada dari sudut budaya dan juga arus kemajuan dan kemodenan. Ajaran Islam secara idealnya telah disempurna dan dilengkapkan oleh Allah swt sebagai satu cara hidup yang diredhai. Tetapi secara realitinya Islam kehilangan sesuatu yang amat berharga yang boleh membawa kepada keruntuhan prinsip dan dasar nilai hidup beragama yang berteraskan wahyu Ilahi".

Initially, on the next day we don't intend to go anywhere but changed our mind when we were invited by my niece to join them for dinner. "Rezeki jangan ditolak, musuh jangan dicari..beb " this phrase has been playing in my mind, unsure if this is right . We had a scrumptious SEAFOOD meal...and...and....and....DURIANS for dessert shioklah!! And on behalf of my family, thanks to my niece & her hubby .... "Terima kasih daun keladi, lain kali jemputlah lagi" :o) ..lol..lol...lol
