#1 : Be Very Thankful

When everything is normal, you are requesting for something extraordinary/abnormal. There are more less fortunate people than us, so be grateful of what we are and what we have today. I am just sorry for my simple/bad english. I will improve more. 

Hi there, this would be my 1st post on this blog. I have no idea what i'm going to write about, no specifics topics/no specifics subjects neither specifics category. :)

Today, i'm working waiting for Eid next week. Duhh! How wonderful this could be- should have meant waiting for Eid, yes..wonderful! However, this means Ramadhan is ending very soon..very soon. Yes, very soon. May i ask you how many good deeds have you done during Ramadhan this year? Did you put you dua's during your prayer towards our Muslims family/friends at Gaza? Let's just pray more for them because Doa is the best way we can help them.

Yesterday (23/7), i did join a Program held by my company with one of the company's adopted school. Its called Program Bersamamu with **mycompany**. This involves duit raya gift to the unfortunate/less fortunate/poor children of the school. A total participation of 100 children of the school receives a pack of Duit Raya/Angpow which could help them more or less with their expenses during this Raya. Out of 100 participants, there are 25 children that are from less fortunate family. So, what the company did is provide them with some foods/rice/sugars/household items. We prepared for 25 families which will receive those items. We were separated into two groups. 1 group will go to 15 houses, while another group will go to another 10 house. I were asked to follow the 1st group. What we bring? 2 packs of 10kgs of rice/sugar/biscuits/soy sauce/salted fish/cooking oil and some other foods.

Its a very touching moment for me as i met the first house. A single father thats a cleaner that needs to support 2 of his children. A child without mom. Mom died. 2nd house, a child without mom and dad (they passed away) staying with disabled grandmother (71yrs old) - no specific income/cannot walk/sick and "dying?", yes... 3rd house, single mother supporting 4 children, no fixed salary, selling some foods in front of house (small income), 4th house single mother left by husband (ran away to Thai) and almost similar stories for the next 10 houses. They are all staying in PPRT (house supported by the State Government). They seems very grateful and very thankful for what we could help them with. May Allah blessed them. Hoping their Raya this year would be meaningful this year.

After settled down, i am thinking ~~ yes, im very fortunate to still have my mom and dad with me, working mom and dad to support us on our foods/supplies/shelters/education/universities. Oh, I am thankful for what i am today, thanks mom and dad, thank you Allah. 

Finally, let us help the less fortunate/poor people with what we can... Thanks!
