 Hi all, Happy weekend :) This post is a continuation from the previous post titled Part 1: Makkah. Day 8: Last night we arrived in the hotel and had dinner till 930PM. We managed to rest and sleep for a few hours till 3AM where the ladies are scheduled for the Raudhah entrance at 4AM. This was quite challenging, we decided to first pray Subuh at 5AM and then only go to line up. We stayed close and held the shoulders of the person in front of us as we had the Muassasah pass so this meant that the Ustazah leading us had the exact number of passes as there were female jemaah. If any other people tried to cut the queue or enter in our line, the last person in our queue may not be able to gain entry. Hence the person behind me held tightly to me and I held tight to the person in front of me. Ladies are suppose to go into Door 37 and after about 2 hours queuing it was finally our turn. However, as we entered there was a stampede near Door 37 and all the ladies including us were re-rou...

 Dear all, Aww this is my first post in 2022. I hope everyone is doing well. Alhamdulillah on 25 September 2022 my husband and I performed umrah in The Holy Land of Makkah :') Umrah is pilgrimage for those not familiar, here click this for more info:  umrah . They say to come here, perlu Allah menjemput kita.. one of our neighbours Abang Wan, who has been there told us it doesn't matter how rich a person is, if we do not receive the 'jemputan' we will not tergerak hati or 'dijemput' ke Tanah Suci. I feel so humbled and touched to hear this. All of my life, I have heard of umrah, hajj but I always imagined that people go there when they are much older and ready. If you asked me a few years ago, never did I imagine to go there before the age of 30 alhamdulillah... It started during the Covid Lockdown and in my mind at that time, I told myself once overseas travelling is allowed and if we feel comfortable, the first place I would like to travel to is Makkah. The on...

 Hi everyone, With all the stay-at-home, I have a few suggestions on home activities you can do to boost your motivation and also to combat any boredom or the feeling of missing pre-covid times. I think the key here is to be creative, fill in your time well, and also make the best of what you have. Do remember that safety and health are the number 1 priority and should not be taken lightly. I try my best to stay indoors whenever possible and here are some suggestions on what you can do. Some involve buying items on Shoppee/Lazada but most of it can be done with whatever you have at home: ·         Read all those favourite books on your shelf you never had time to read before this.   ·          Work on sudoku or cross word puzzle - it really helps with critical thinking and problem solving skills.   ·          Board games - now you have all day for Mon...

 Salam and Hi to all my dearest blog readers,  I have not been on my blog for a year and a month, omg. I certainly owe you updates. Lots of things happened last year with the pandemic and all.  Happy news! I got married end of 2020 :') It was earlier than planned - all the stay-at-home enabled us to do sufficient planning within the short time and it was so so beautiful, such lovely memories. Even hearing back the songs at my wedding make me in a positive mood. We could not invite as many people as initially planned but I'm so thankful that we could still have a ceremony during that time, a photoshoot and to be able to receive guests and have most of the people closest to me present, alhamdulillah. My blog name will still be 'Miss Meen' although I'm technically a Mrs haha And, started selling homemade candles, arts and craft is my hobby and you can find out more @Glowandblow.candles on IG to find out more. There was and is definitely a lot of time spent at home and ...

Dear all, Hope everyone is doing good. Things are hopefully getting better out there, it seems less restrictive and people are starting to go out and all. In my view, it is good for the economy but the battle is not over. It is still out there and it is just a matter of how confident you are to be out there vs how comfortable you are staying at home and going out only when necessary. Everyone's situation and personality are different so people would respond to this opportunity differently. Anyhow, it is a Saturday afternoon, feels calm and peaceful. I woke up a little later than normal today, went out for a cycle and then back home for breakfast. Grandma is over for the weekend so that's nice. She did home hair treatment for me last weekend. I love spas and since they were closed during MCO, I resorted to a lot of home treatment. So many things happened between the last time I wrote here and now. I traveled, airplane half empty, airport quiet and strange. I was fully wrappe...

Dear all, Hope you are doing well. Today is Sunday and I went out to buy some things and run quick errands. I met a friend for a short while because I needed to take something from her so in the end, we thought why not we just do errands and grocery shopping together :)  It was so lovely to see her. It felt super sunny and hot today, I have not been out in 9 days so it felt a little odd going in the sunshine again and drive. I was hoping I would not forget how to drive ;) hehe joking. I posted in instastory a few days ago and asked for questions or blog topics suggestion and someone mentioned 'my view on Vivy Yusof backlash'. Lately I have been posting more on my close friends list because I have been at home so some of the sharings are too personal to share with everybody. I just added the few names that came up to my mind and the suggestions that IG gave me. Please forgive me if I forgot to add in your name but mostly  my audience there are ladies and I post a lot of fem...

Dear all, It has been two weeks now working from home - 16 days to be exact for me and I feel that time has passed by so fast. I have been so busy and it has been faster than I thought it would be. I am working from home now and I am starting to like it especially after I setup my work station two weekends ago, so starting from 23 March, I was really enjoying work from home. Before that I was only using laptop and my home work desk was full of things so I missed my big L-shaped desk at the office. On the 22nd March, I had a spring cleaning in my room and it made a huge difference to the ambience and overall productivity. So rule #1, setup your work station the way you like it. You do not need to spend a lot of money but with what you have, make the best of it. Two years ago when I moved to this island for work, my dad and sister helped me design my room. We got a proper study table and office chair (with cushion seating and wheels) but I rarely use it. I would go to the office or spe...
