3 WAYS TO ENJOY HALAL HOMEMADE FROZEN CHICKEN LORBAK

  بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful


Have you ever watched a movie or having tea-time without snacks next to it? I can say it is almost impossible because we must feel like munching something instead of just drinking. There were various range of snacks to eat or we have some kuih-muih, kerepok lekor and many others for us to grab. 


As of late, I was introduced to another kind of snack that I can either fry, air fry or steam and to prepare it in a short amount of time and enjoy every bits of it. It is called Chicken Lorbak.  It is not Lobak (carrot), it is L-O-R-B-A-K, Lorbak. To be honest, it was my first time knowing about this food and to know that it is actually a unique Hokkien and Teochew dish. The origin of this food is from Southern China. Lorbak is now widely adapted to various countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and us--Malaysia. However for this one, the Lorbak is a Halal Homemade frozen Chicken Lorbak and from the name itself the main meat used is the chicken breast. 


Azmina Osman, a very good childhood friend of mine and also one of the agents of SA Chicken Lorbak, introduced this delicious food to me and to be honest, it all finished in less than 15 minutes! This halal homemade frozen Chicken Lorbak is run by Muslim entrepreneurs and the ingredients used are fresh and you do not have to worry about the authenticity. 

You can search their Instagram: SA Chicken Lorbak, follow them, order and experience the taste!

Go to their Instagram: SA Chicken Lorbak for more mouth watering pictures of their Lorbak!

Based on my readings from their Instagram and asking my dear friend and the agent, this halal homemade chicken lorbak is a chicken marinated with special marinate sauce and wrapped in beancurd. In every bite of this chicken lorbak, seriously you can tell the taste of the succulent and juicy chicken breast that are mixed together with some other ingredients. On top of that, their sauce is to grab for and I'd go more for this sauce! You can have it as an appetizer, tea time with friends, family on whenever and whatever occasions that you want.


Besides that, guess what guys? They have new menu called Cake Lorbak! Those who would want to get away from the mediocre of having cakes for some occasions, Cake Lorbak is just right for you. Cake Lorbak is a scrumptious chicken lorbak, layered with sushi rice, seaweed, cucumber, radish & there are some pretty edible flowers on top of it. It comes in a petite size where it is suitable for 3 to 4 pax to enjoy it. It is also comes with a FREE cake topper for every purchase (for happy birthday, anniversary & engagement). I have tasted it and it was a mindblowing experience for me to have the taste all in my mouth. Felt like it has exploded with savory taste where I have never tasted before. 

I thought it was a cake as it was so lovely!

As mentioned, the Cake Lorbak comes in a petite size but trust me 3 to 4 people can enjoy this. Look at the filling and the rice!
Too beautiful for me to even eat it!

Let me tell you how to eat it 😄 I have tasted together with my sister-in-law and we agreed this is how you can fully enjoy it. Why? In order for you to really get the flavours all dancing in your mouth while tasting the generous amount of the chicken filling, follow these steps! 


How to enjoy the Cake Lorbak to the max! (Well, according to me)


1. The Cake Lorbak comes with 2 layers. Put aside one layer. DO NOT CUT THEM TOGETHER. This is to ensure the smoothness while cutting it as normal cake and rice are two different things. Just bear that in mind. Cut the rice together with the amount of chicken lorbak provided.


2. YOU HAVE TO EAT THE RICE, CHICKEN LORBAK AND DIP IN SAUCE TOGETHER,  NOT SEPARATELY. For me, if you eat it separately, you wont get to experience the maximum taste of it. 


3. The highlight of enjoying this Cake Lorbak was when I put the chicken lorbak on top of the rice and dip in the sauce. I couldnt really describe as you HAVE to taste it yourself. Somehow I felt like something exploding in my mouth! The explosiveness of the delicious taste when the rice, chicken lorbak and sauce combined together. The chicken lorbak is savoury enough that you can eat it separately but since you have the rice together, it is even more meaningful to the taste. Apart from that, you wouldn't want to waste the rice right? Eat it whole and you will definitely feel full right after!


You can contact the HQ (click here) or their agents with their designated area to place your order and they will send it straight to your house! For the delivery service, they are using Lalamove. Take a look at their Instagram: SA Chicken Lorbak, browse through and do not hesitate to place your order. Experience the taste!


Thank you for your time reading. InshaaAllah see you in the next post!

8 TIPS ON HOW I ACE MY 1ST PREGNANCY DURING FINAL YEAR BACHELOR'S DEGREE. HOW DID I OVERCOME IT?

 بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Bachelor's Degree Convocation April 2016

Looking at the above picture, made me felt surreal as this was taken during pre-covid time. Little did we know about covid to be in our lives 4 years later. I have completed my Master's Degree (April 2021) but the convocation ceremony seems far from my reach, not to be conducted even. I might only be receiving my scroll through courier. Maybe yes.

Nevertheless, I would like to reminisce on my experience carrying my first child during my final year bachelor's degree. How did I overcome it? Thinking back on those times made me smile as I'm typing this. There were numerous changes of feelings that I felt in a day and I was grateful to be able to go through those days blessed with beautiful souls to help me.

I got married in 2014 during my final year bachelor's degree. I was still a student while my husband has already started his career. I didn't really see this coming as I planned to have kids after I graduated and have my own career. Even so, I was grateful for this blessing. I was at first, nervous. I was afraid if I had to repeat a paper or a semester as my delivery due date was during the final weeks (final submissions/presentations, etc) or the hectic weeks we called it. On top of that, I was having a long-distance relationship with my husband at that time where he was living in another area and I was living with my housemates. We would have dates every so often and during the weekends, we would go back to our hometown. We started living together during my 3rd trimester. Imagine the additional challenges as my husband couldn't be close to me during my early trimesters of pregnancy.

Was it hard? DEFINITELY MINDBLOWN. It was to that extent where I wanted to quit my study as it was too hard and I had trouble in managing my sickness. I didn't have knowledge on pregnancy while studying so I had no one to refer to. I did my own readings and trying to adjust few things as I can no longer be as active and free as I was. 

Here are some of the things that I learned with pregnancy while studying and I believe I could not do this alone without help from other people. 

1. GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY CLASSMATES
I have spent most of my early years with my bachelor's degree classmates even before I met my husband. They were my everything. We studied together, we shared lots of stories together, we spent most of our days together and we were there for each other (I hope I was and sorry if I wasn't). We witnessed each other's blood, sweat and tears. They were amongst the happiest to congratulate me when I got married and when I announced my pregnancy, the girls especially always came to me to rub my stomach asking about the baby. I believe good relationships that I had with them, have helped me a lot during my pregnancy. They made way for me, helped me to get the foods and drinks, put me first in considering about my sickness, accompany me to the toilet many times as I had to vomit, always supported me during the presentations. Their prayers were what I was most touched with. There were amongst the first to come and pay their visits to the hospital to visit me and my son. They were literally everything to me. 

My advice, be good to people and pray for their wellbeing. The angels hear and will pray the same for you.

2. ALWAYS COME BACK TO YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR COMFORT
My husband and my families were the ones who have helped me tremendously. When I broke down and had my episodes of feeling not worthy or afraid, I would always go back to them for comfort and their words soothed me and uplifted my spirit to finish my study, graduate and make them proud of me.

3. DO NOT MAKE PREGNANCY AS AN EXCUSE. MAKE IT AS A REASON TO PERFORM BETTER
I have heard some stories from my lecturers where there were some skeptical going on to students who got pregnant while studying--some of them simply just quit and some gave endless excuses because of the baby. I definitely didn't want to be another student on history with not a good impression. I challenged myself to perform better, to show up to classes and consultations in sickness or in tiredness while carrying a baby. I didn't make my pregnancy as an excuse of not studying or giving my best, rather I made it as a reason for me to excel in my study and to graduate on time with my friends. I would like to tell the story to my kids where I can proudly say, "I carried you in my womb for 9 months while going to classes and I graduated well. I didn't give up. I gave my best."

4. READ A LOT ON PREGNANCY AND PARENTING
I know that I will not be able to through my pregnancy smoothly without knowledge. Apart from asking around from my mother, my sister, dear families and friends, I equipped myself in reading about pregnancy and parenting. I browsed and read a lot of blogs, articles and have noted down on important things. I bear in mind up until today that whatever that I have read, consumed and heard, I can apply to my children but if some are not working, I'll have a pass on that. Why? Because only parents know their child better and what really suit them. 

5. PREPARE A SCHEDULE (AS YOU'LL NEED REST IN BETWEEN)
My study schedule didn't change that much. It was still the same. The only difference was because I had sickness in between and I'd rather stay at home to rest and didn't manage to really hang out with my friends. I prepared a study schedule so that I was able to complete my assignments on time. My friends helped me a lot in discussions and delegations of tasks. On assignments, mostly I started early, small but consistent in meeting the deadlines given.

6. KEEP YOURSELF ACTIVE, POSITIVE, HAPPY & MOTIVATED
My 1st pregnancy was not really a bad ones as I only had morning sickness for few days on certain weeks on each trimester. Most of the times especially during my 1st trimester, I was still active moving around, be positive, stay happy and motivated as my goal was to GRADUATE ON TIME. It was such a happy feeling knowing that I was not alone, I had a baby inside me accompanying me in all classes and in my journey in seeking knowledge. The most important part was, never skip doctor's appointments!

7. NEVER ENDING PRAYERS AND DUA'AS
This journey of making dua'as and prayers for my baby was definitely a precious memory that I'll keep close to my heart. I never knew that I would go far from what I used to do in praying for someone who was not yet born but actively moving inside me. 

Make lots of dua'as while walking to classes, while waiting for your lecturer and to always pray for your smooth journey in studying as well as in delivering the baby. 

8. ENJOY THE JOURNEY
Yes, definitely! Enjoy your journey in pregnancy while studying. It's double the joy for me! Happy mother indirectly will have affect on the baby and the pregnancy--happy pregnancy, happy mother, happy baby!


Fateh Purnama when he was 6 months old on my Bachelor's Degree 2016 Convocation Day

"IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A KID." 
Heard this phrase many times before? I do. Always. I thanked my aunt, Achik's family, my cousin Izyan and husband, Imran my cousin and my in-laws who came to my convocation (attended on behalf of my parents who went to Turkey on that day). I will forever thank my parents and my siblings and everyone for their endless prayers and support. My parents, siblings, Fateh and I had a picture together at a studio a day before their flight to Turkey. Alhamdulillah.

Thank you for your time reading. InshaaAllah see you in the next post!

7 TIPS TO ACE MASTER'S DEGREE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WAS IT DOABLE? WAS IT WORTH IT?

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
by AliahMazli

I was amongst the first batch to experience online learning when COVID-19 pandemic hits us globally. I further my master’s degree in 2019 after I resigned from CEFL in 2018. During my 1st semester, the physical classes went very well with proper precaution as the Covid-19 cases were still below 50. Once it is confirmed all classes must be conducted online, I felt mundane, anxious, speechless and empty. I didn’t know where this will lead to. Doing master’s degree 100% online where all must be searched and worked on your own, the pressure was no joke. I felt like a baby trying to learn how to walk. Everything was unfamiliar and I was experiencing many episodes of my “first-time.”

Staying at home, further my study in master’s degree and had to babysit 2 children on top of that really pinned me down as I had to plan everything with the help of my husband. We have to make this work or I was afraid I couldn’t finish my master on time. However, I am proud of myself as I was able to G.O.T (Graduate on Time) with Excellent Candidate Award representing my faculty. I was on cloud nine having to make my parents, siblings, in-laws, husband, children and dear friends happy and proud of my effort along the years. They witnessed my ups, downs, perseverance, patience, undying motivation and my fullest commitments to my study knowing I have learned a lot of skills and gained endless knowledge throughout my master years.

Here are some of the takeaways doing my master’s degree during COVID-19 pandemic: 

1) BUILD ACTIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LECTURERS
How? Let them notice & know you by being involved in class, be attentive and responsive. Offer yourself with lots of ad-hoc tasks and be in active with the lecturers. The most important thing is to present your results to the best of your ability and trust me, they know and they will keep an eye on you. Master’s students are not that many for every intake and use this opportunity to build life-long relationship with your lecturers. Who knows, they may be the one who would kindly write a recommendation letters for you.

2) SETTING THE MINDSET. 
Treat your assignments/research papers as if you are in a working environment. Treat your groupmates as your colleagues and create a mature, positive, professional vibe and treat everyone as the asset within the group. If there are conflicts, handle it professionally by acknowledging the problem, listen to all members, propose and discuss solutions that is fair for all. Celebrate small wins and encourage each other during the presentations and always push each other to present the best work. Give full commitment, appreciate even the smallest gestures and help offered.

3) PLAN & TIME MANAGEMENT.
Identify how many hats that you are wearing and create a timetable that can suit all. It will be overwhelming at times but trust me, schedule helps and they will eventually keep you sane. Have active conversations with your spouse, family & friends. You need to talk/listen to keep your emotional and mental health at its best condition. Do not be shy to breakdown and cry once in a while. Things happen. Take your time and come back even stronger.

Doing your master's degree requires a lot of sacrifices. Your time, your money, your energy, your attention, your sleep, your gatherings and the list goes on. It will be hard at first but once you know your priority in your study, you will eventually give in and focus on what is important to you the most at that particular time. Like I mentioned above, plan your time well. 

4) READ & WRITE A LOT.
Master’s degree is no era of spoon-feeding. This is an era where you are expected to know and do everything on your own. Don’t know what to do? Spend lots of time at the library, reach the seniors and build good relationships with them and have active discussions with your lecturers. If you just sit around, observe & wait, say goodbye to your scroll. Don’t know how to write research papers? Search a lot of publications, research papers and see how they write, organize and present their papers. Learn and implement. Read a lot of other books once in a while as it helps to give some breeze and refresh your brain.

5) START EARLY. PREPARE YOUR SCHEDULE ALIGNED WITH ALL SUBJECTS.
Master students, please start early as in your 1st week. Do not just sit around, wait and observe. You may be left behind and the train can never make a U-turn. Master study requires you to do a lot of preparation even just for a presentation. You have to read a lot of articles, research papers and knowing that you have to always insert the citations (where do you take the source from) for every thing that you write, requires you to make an effective reference folder to organize your sources. Trust me, during the final weeks where you have to do a lot of submissions, you will thank your schedule and your efforts for starting early.

6) SAY THANK YOU EVERY SEMESTER. 
This is what I have been doing since my diploma years. Whenever I received my result each semester, apart from making sujood syukur, informing my husband and my family, I will directly go to my lecturer for each subject and send them a thank you text. 

“Dalam berilmu, perlu beradab dengan guru.” That is what I always hold on to.

7) SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE QURAN AND TALK TO ALLAH (MAKE DUA'AS) CONSISTENTLY.
The thing that I learned the most was I do not own all of these knowledge. All belong to Allah and He is the One who granted me the ideas and the solutions to all my problems during my study years. Apart from that, the more I read Quran and spend my time with HIM, I noticed that everything falls perfectly although there were hiccups along the way where I was not sure if I was able to finish it. At the end of the day, I want the barakah and to ensure that whatever knowledge that I gained can be of benefits to myself and for me to use it to right way for others as well. 

So, to the question:
Furthering my master’s degree during COVID-19 pandemic (100% online learning) - Was it worth it?

Yes, it was!

10 TIPS ON HOW TO INTRODUCE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO MY CHILDREN? WHERE TO START?

 بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful


It is undeniable that English language is one of the most used language in the world. It has become the second language to many countries and is spoken by many these days. In Malaysia, English has become the second language for most of the people. This can be seen where English language has become of the compulsory language to be learned as early as in the pre-school, primary and secondary school. However, not every household use English as their first language. Unless if the parents have decided to make English as the first language, then it is another different story. 

As for me, Malay language is my native language. I speak Malay as I grow up and it is my go to language to talk to with my family and friends. However, in my family, my father is the who encouraged us to speak in English and he speaks in English to us from time to time. This is due to the need of his job in dealing with his International colleagues and superiors and the main languages are Malay and English. Hence, to have us siblings be exposed to English in our early age. For me, I didn't find it awkward to switch the language as I read both English and Malay books extensively, I watch English and Malay programs and I speak well in both languages. 

When I first had Fateh, I already have this in mind where I would like to speak English with Fateh at home and teach him Malay language when necessary during his school years later. The children absorbs new knowledge like a sponge and I have experienced it firsthand when I teach Fateh both languages up until today. 

Where to start?

1. For mothers, during the pregnancy, make it as a routine to read aloud while caressing your stomach. The babies hear and when they move, it is indescribable feeling that we mothers could not explain. Read to them. 

2. Parents, you can start by buying flashcards first. Any kinds will do be it about alphabets, animals, fruits, or vehicles. One word flashcards would be better and to start flashing the cards to them every day and put it as your daily routines.

3. Use simple one words, example "eat, drink, sit, hug". This is to implant those words in their memories so that they can use it later. Avoid saying long words to them. Instead, use short sentences when speaking. For example, "Let's take a bath", "Let's have breakfast", "Let's take a nap". Avoid using baby language which is unclear and this will lead to confusion on the words to the children later. 

4. Have a lot of conversations with your children. When I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Talk to them as if you are talking to adults. What I mean here is talking in a clear and proper sentences. Because from there, the kids will learn how to use the language. They learn fast believe me. If you want to talk about something that has happened in the past, use past tense. Do not worry if you are scared that your children will not understand. They will understand later and when they ask, you can explain to them. The key here is to start familiarizing to the children about the language and the structure that you are using. 

5. Make a habit of pinpointing to any things found inside and outside of the house and let them know the words. This is to increase and encourage the children on the use of vocabulary. 

6. Avoid letting your children to have their screen time on their own. This is a BIG NO. Screen time for kids is just a one-way communication and this is not healthy for their brain development, speech and communication. There are a lot of studies on this topics so parents, do some readings. What we do is, when it is time for them to have their screen time, watch together with them and have two-ways communication with your children. Some of the questions that you can ask:

  • Can you name me the colours that you see?
  • How many cartoon characters are there?
  • Is the tree yellow in colour?

Once the screen time has ended, allow your children to express their feelings and thoughts about what they have just watched. Let them tell you their story and get engaged with them. It is a very good exercise to do this every time as it will not just build their confidence, but also allowing them to present themselves, to express their thoughts and to be able to have active and healthy conversations. This will also help in their vocabulary development.

7. Once in a while, let them teach you instead of you teaching them. When you have a role-play of the children teaching us, it will allow them to prepare themselves on what to teach and this can boost their memories of everything that they have learned. Instead of using lots of books with the children in teaching English language at an early age, hands-on activities are the best for the children. Then slowly, you can start introducing them to exercise books as a tool to see their knowledge and understanding of the language. 

8. The most important key here is to enjoy the learning process. Parents, please do not stress yourselves out over teaching a language with worry that your children are late bloomers and etc. No, never have this kind of mentality in you. Trust your children. You know them better and let them be free and have fun in learning. When the children are enjoying themselves, they will be happier and are looking forward to learn more from you. 

9. The teachers are the parent's support system. Remember, it takes a village to raise a kid. So, let the teachers do their work in teaching the methods, and we the parents, to continue supporting our children in the process of learning consistently. If you only rely on the teachers, it will not be really helpful in your children's development. 

10. This however do not only apply to English language, I believe these steps that I have shared based on my experience are also applied to other languages that you would want your children to master and even to you, yourselves. 

THE DON'TS

1. DO NOT PUT ANY EXPECTATIONS TO YOUR CHILDREN. Expectation kills. When it does, it may stresses you out and this is not good for your children as well. It is good to have goals instead and break it into small goals and share it with your children so they can look forward to more interesting new knowledge every single day. 

2. As your children grow older, DO NOT LET THEM WATCH CARTOONS WITH LESSER VOCABULARY. It is wise as parents to choose and see which cartoons that are suitable for your children especially on the language used. The language must be clear and do not contain any vulgar words. This can also helps with more extensive vocabulary for your children to explore.

Thank you for your time reading. InshaaAllah see you in the next post!

FIRST DAY OF PRE-SCHOOL. MY DETACHMENT FROM MY SON.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful


A year before my son turns 4 years old, I have slowly build a creep feeling inside me where I mountain myself with worries, sadness and anxious on sending my son to pre-school. I think too much and start to worry about everything that I can ever list them down. Things like:

  • Is he going to cry?
  • Is he going to pee himself at school?
  • Is he going to be okay without me?
  • Is he going to get scolded by the teachers?
  • Is he going to make friends with others?
  • Is he going to eat properly?
  • Can he understand instructions?

These above on top of other hundreds of questions popped inside my head and I could not stop thinking. I talked about this with my husband and he always answers with, "do not worry too much, he is going to be okay. He may cry first few days but I believe he will be okay." I have been taking care of my son since birth and he has never been taken care of other people other than me. I guess it is more of me could not detach myself from my son. As a mother, we always want to give the best to our kids and we always have this mindset that, "No one takes care of our children better than us."

At one point, I could not stop blaming myself where I should have taken good care of him or spend more time with him as I can slowly feel that my son is growing up. This is just the first phase of him slowly leaving me to live his life. Thinking of my own life growing scares me as I would not even want to part ways with my parents. I know that he is only 4 years old, attending a pre-school. However, to me, he is slowly talking his first step of building up his independent skill. He will soon learn how to cope with his daily routines, what to do without parents around as there will be many other students at the school.

Preparations on the first day of school.
All forms have been prepared, fees are all paid, clothes are all ironed. Now come the part where we have to always tell Fateh that he is soon going to school to learn, to have fun, to make friends and many more. We tried our best to instill the happiness and joy of learning as he is only attached to me without many opportunities to have social time with other kids at his age. He looked excited, he sounded thrilled and looking forward to it. He even joined my husband ironing his clothes the night before. I did advice my son that if anything that you need help with, always look for your teacher. Please do not cry as I will be picking you up very soon. My bad as I have reminded him not to cry and that has been implanted in his mind. You are too late Aliah! Face the consequence later!

First day of school.
We both walked him to school as it is just 7 minutes walking to our house. My husband piggy-backed him and we were being as cheerful as we can. However, the moment we reached the gate, lines of students crying were heard and it has affected Fateh tremendously and he then, CRIED! The teacher had to take him and calm him inside the school. I can hear him crying loudly while calling me,

"Bonda, Bonda don't leave me, please take me too! Bondaaaaaa!"

I too, cried silently sobbing hard on our way back home. I was the one who felt hard to detach myself as much as he is having it hard too. All kinds of emotion gushed me as a whole and I felt hard to accept it at first. Calming myself continuously, my husband reassured me that this shall pass.

What have I learned?
I have learned that time is precious. I have the advantage of taking care of my son since birth and knowing that I should have spent more time with him, structed my mind at that time. Secondly, I learned that my son can never always be with me 24/7 till he grows up. There will be times where he will slowly learn about life, learn to be independent, learn to think on his own, to make decisions on his own, to spend time with his friends, to spend his alone time without me and to see life in another perspectives with lots of questions that he might ask later on. Thirdly, I also learned that I need to slowly detach myself from this worldly life as not everything is mine from the first place. It all belong to Allah S.W.T. I need to learn to be calm, think rational and let my heart feel at ease for whatever happens in the future, respectively for anything related to my son.  

My hopes on my son for his pre-school years.
My husband and I do not have much expectations on our son at that time. Pre-school in Malaysia usually starts at the age of 4 to 6 years old. We just want Fateh to build his emotion healthily and to develop his motor skills more than to learn a lot of things that requires memorizing on subjects forcefully. Come on, he is just 4. We really want Fateh to be happy and enjoy learning. We just want to be open with any discussions about what ever that he is learning. He will learn many things and he will slowly build other skills and we do not want to rush things. My husband and I we promised ourselves to be committed with our children's education and to let him freely explore what he wants to know and learn about this world.

He is now 6 and I'd share about his journey of his pre-school years in the next post. We are humbled, grateful and happy with his progress in his learning. 

Thank you for your time reading. InshaaAllah see you in the next post!
