A Homemaker’s Diary

I’m sure most of Muslims who have balik kampung to celebrate Hari Raya are now back in town running the old, daily routine. After all those with kids in school should be in school by yesterday since the school holiday is over.

I made this decoupage on the plastic container lids last week after I realized that the old bekas kuih raya I have are no longer air-tight. I have some leftover decoupage tissue from Ramadhan custom made plaques that I thought would look good on the lids.

It took me about 3 days from coloring the background, sealing the tissue to make sure that the varnish all dried up nicely. I couldn’t find a suitable material to be decorated as the balang kuih raya tray so I just use a white tray in my kitchen..haha!

Anyone interested to decorate their own plastic/glass container with decoupage technique, you can join my next decoupage class in October. Or you can order a custom made decorated containers from me. Please leave comment or email to farah[at]bungatelur.com.

I think it’s been a while since I last update anything on this blog. I’m sure many of Muslim friends and readers are excited to balik kampung for this Hari Raya holiday.

Please drive carefully and be patient with the traffic jammed on the highway.

May our amal ibadat during the month of Ramadhan be accepted by Allah SWT and Aidilfitri this year be a joyous occasion for you and your family.

I bought this book among a few other titles last month. I just finished reading a few chapters. The book is written specifically for fathers to learn what are the skills and techniques needed to ensure the best for their sons.

Mendidik Anak Lelaki
Penulis: Adnan Hasan Salleh
Terbitan: PTS

Buku Mendidik Anak Lelaki menitikberatkan kepada pentingnya peranan ibubapa, khususnya bapa dalam memberikan perhatian dan bimbingan yang islamik secara berterusan kepada anak, khasnya anak lelaki.

Mengapa bapa dan mengapa anak lelaki? Buku ini tidak bermaksud memandang remeh peranan ibu dan anak perempuan, namun kerana seorang bapa dan suami cenderung meninggalkan tanggungjawabnya sebagai pemimpin keluarga, sekaligus sebagai pendidik anak-anaknya kerana sibuk bekerja.

Buku ini mesti dimiliki oleh para ibu bapa yang mengimpikan anak lelaki mereka menjadi pemimpin umat.

For me, the book is quite dry, more like reading a thesis. So I am reading it first in order to jot down the important parts for Hubby to read later.
