  • Big Box Durian Fest – If You’re Muslim, You Have 45 Minutes To Eat The Durians

    Big Box Durian Fest – If You’re Muslim, You Have 45 Minutes To Eat The Durians

    Some Muslims customers are unhappy with Big Box, a mall in Jurong East, for organising a “Durian Fest EAT ALL YOU CAN!” event during the fasting month.

    Saying that the durian fest they held last year was a huge success, Big Box invited its customers to another durian feast via a Facebook post on June 15. The durian fest is held this weekend (18 and 19 June) and customers can pay $38 to attend a session from 3 – 5pm, or another from 6 – 8pm. Alternatively, they could pay $68 to attend both sessions in a day.

    Some Muslim customers are unhappy because the mall is having the durian fest during the fasting month of Ramadan. Big Box, tried to explain that was why they were having two sessions. But some Facebook users said that since the fast typically ends past 7pm, they will have very little time to eat the durians, and so it is not fair.

    1Big Box apologised to such customers and said that it will be mindful of this when it organizes its next durian fest.

  • Frustrations Of A Mother-Of-4 Exploring Bazaar Geylang: Have People Got No Compassion And Manners?

    Frustrations Of A Mother-Of-4 Exploring Bazaar Geylang: Have People Got No Compassion And Manners?

    I bring the pram to Geylang as my son, the youngest, is really hard to handle. He needs to be strapped in his seat.

    I hv 4 boys. My 3rd is like a jumping Monkey on everlasting batteries. I will make him sit on the pram so that he will sit still. Albeit fighting will ensue btw him and the 4th boy in the pram.

    I hv my 2 other boys holding on each side of the pram while walking as I want to make sure they are always by my side.

    Thing is. It can be quite irritating to be dragging the kids and the pram out, but I have to. They are my kids. I need them to be safe. Also because I have to bring them along w me as we do not hv any maid to look after them.

    I do not believe in maids although I do feel at times I need help as I struggle btw being a Mom and running my own business. But after hving two bad experiences, I would rather be without one. I hv my Mom but hey, she too needs a break from my kechorable kids. And now, w Papa gone and me being an only child, I bring my Mom along w me everywhere I go. To say the least, I bring everyone along w me.

     

    It is not easy to be out w 4 kids. And it is back breaking to be babywearing a child of more than 10kg for hours. Plus having to ensure the rest of the kids dont go missing. A pram is like a soul reliever. Like godsent. I can strap my two boys in the pram and hang my bag full of bottlemilk, hotwater bottle, milk container and all that I need when we hv tods.

    As parents we hv a lot of responsibilities strapped ard us. We hv errands to run and things to be done. At times we need them done w the kids tagging along. Though it hinders our movement at times, but what choice do we hv? We just hv to deal w it. They are our kids. Kids that I carried in my womb and suffered a bad nine months of nausea and morning sickness. I went through hours of labour for. They are my responsibility. My top priority is my children’s safety.

    So pardon me for irritating you with my pram while I push my two kids in the pram and at times fighting w each other while dragging my other two kids alongside the pram, and lugging a bag or two. I need my kids in the pram so that I wont go crazy chasing after them.

    Just like you. I am tired too. Just like you. I feel annoyed too. Just like you. I get irritated too.

    While pushing the pram and pple just wont make way for us to go through. While pushing the pram and we need to go up the lift, but it is jam packed w able bodies that rather take the lift than the escalator and make way to parents w kids and prams. Instead, we hv to make way to these able bodies that just needed to walk a little further to climb on the escalators. While pushing the pram, some may just push you just so they can go through instead of saying excuse me or helping you out when you needed it.

    Pushing a pram seems like an easy job but it is not that easy. It takes a lot of patience. I at times lost it too. Thanks to a few inconsiderate pple.

    The thing is, it is not easy being a parent.

    So pardon us. We are just being parents. We need to get things done and our kids are our responsibilities.

    Do understand our situation. We are only parents and are doing the best that we can. Dont hate us for this thing called Pram.

    Give love because we all deserve some. Be it those w kids, none or single. Sometimes a little love can really make our day. 🙂

    Salam Ramadhan.

    Malay Female Police Officer Goes Extra Mile In Ramadan Helping Disabled Resident

    Our patrol officer, SGT Kayisah, was conducting foot patrol when she came across an elderly resident requiring assistance near Block 220 Ang Mo Kio. Without hesitation, our officer stepped in – SGT Kayisah helped wheel the resident to the nearby supermarket, assisted her to purchase groceries and also to bring her back to her residence after that.

    This seemingly small, but gracious act, makes us proud.

    Kudos to the officer!

  • Meet Kakak WO Rennysa Ithnin – She Tackles Hazardous Materials For A Living

    Meet Kakak WO Rennysa Ithnin – She Tackles Hazardous Materials For A Living

    WO Rennysa Bte Ithnin joined the SCDF after she found out more information about the organisation at a Career Fair. She was immediately sold by the opportunity to learn lifesaving skills and the adrenaline rush of attending to emergencies.

    Having been a firefighter in various fire stations for many years, she is now a Senior Instructor in the Civil Defence Academy’s Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Branch.

    It is hard to fault the tangy WO Rennysa for being too-cool-for-school. A mother of three and a passionate instructor herself, WO Rennysa believes that every learning experience should be a fusion of theoretical and practical vigour, and most importantly, it must be a fun and memorable one.

    With this mindset, WO Rennysa has taught hundreds of local and international trainees from different professional industries on HazMat identification and mitigation techniques. Her trainees include local participants like members from the Company Emergency Response Teams, SCDF Emergency Responders and international participants from countries like Bhutan, South Korea and Oman.

    At the start of every course, WO Rennysa makes it a point to break the ice by gaining a better understanding of her trainees and their professional background. WO Rennysa believes that it helps inject a sense of warmth to the classroom and that in turn, allows her trainees to feel more comfortable about asking questions candidly. WO Rennysa also explained that adult learning takes place more effectively through discussions instead of the traditional classroom learning methods.

    WO Rennysa applies the same principles when teaching her children. Together with her husband, they guide them through discussions instead of instructions.

    “This is what I strive to achieve as an instructor and mother, and it is to deeply embed in my trainees and children the ‘moral of the story’ instead of the countless number of technical points that he or she should memorise,” WO Rennysa said.

    Assalamualaikum.. tak pernah tulis macam ni.. (Seyes malu sesangat) . . .. tapi.. . . Mak ayah da tanya kan.. tak sempat…

    Posted by Ubaidullah Jaafar on Tuesday, 14 June 2016

     

    “UPDATE SEKALI, BERIBU YANG DATANG”

    Meskipun kebanyakan pengguna Facebook yang menulis komen tidak pula secara berterus terang menyatakan hasrat untuk menjadikan Encik Ubaidullah sebagai suami, ramai yang menyebut dan ‘tag’ nama rakan-rakan mereka untuk menyarankan jejaka itu sebagai calon.

    Bahkan, seorang pengguna, Al O’sullivan dengan tepat menulis komen: “Untung awak bro. Update sekali, beribu yang datang. Untung.”

    Ramai juga netizen yang mengucapkan selamat maju jaya kepada Encik Ubaidullah dan semoga Allah mempermudahkan usahanya dipertemukan jodoh.

    Ada pula yang meninggalkan pesanan agar beliau bijak memilih calon isteri, kerana beliau kini mempunyai banyak pilihan, lapor Astro Awani.

    MAHU BERNIKAH SEBELUM MENYAMBUNG PENGAJIAN

    Jadi, apa yang istimewa pada Encik Ubaidullah hingga statusnya menarik perhatian begitu ramai gadis muda?

    Dalam statusnya yang dimuat naik pada 14 Jun itu dan disertakan lima gambar beliau di majlis tamat pengajian universiti dan bersama keluarga, Encik Ubaidullah berkata beliau “malu sangat” kerana “tak pernah tulis macam ini.”

    “Tapi… mak ayah dah tanya kan. Tak sempat nak mencari, baru sekarang tersentak,” tulisnya.

    Encik Ubaidullah, graduan kejuruteraan elektrikal dari Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia dari Muar, Johor itu berkata beliau ingin bernikah dahulu sebelum menyambung pengajian di peringkat sarjana tahun depan.

    Katanya, sebab beliau ingin mendirikan rumah tangga ialah kerana sudah bersedia dan hendak “lengkapkan diri.”

    “Impian ini sudah lama dirancang sebenarnya, empat tahun lalu, tapi tak kesampaian lagi, tiada jodoh,” ujarnya.

    Encik Ubaidullah menambah beliau “boleh memasak apa sahaja”, pernah belajar agama dari “form 1 hingga form 3 di SMA At-Tanwiriah” dan bersedia bernikah hujung tahun ini atau awal tahun depan.

    TAPI ADA KRITERIA GADIS IDAMAN…

    Namun, jejaka itu juga mempunyai kriteria sendiri bagi gadis idamannya.

    Encik Ubaidullah berkata gadis idamannya berusia antara 18 hingga 24 tahun, dan sebaik-baiknya dari Johor, supaya senang mengunjungi keluarga pada Hari Raya nanti.

    “Boleh terima saya, dan sama-sama perbaiki diri ke arah lebih baik. Saya sedia jadi imam awak, saya sedia jumpa mak ayah awak,” tambahnya.

    Dalam status terkininya pada 1.52 pagi tadi (17 Jun), Encik Ubaidullah meminta maaf kerana belum membaca dan membalas kesemua komen yang ditulis.

    Beliau juga berkata, tidak perlulah berasa malu untuk membuat kebaikan. “Kalau niat kita betul-betul untuk kebaikan, mengapa perlu malu kan? Beranilah untuk mencuba..

    “Kalau kena kritik, biarkan, kita mesti anggap itu pun nasihat baik untuk kita. Sekurang-kurangnya kita sudah usaha,” tulisnya.

    Encik Ubaidullah juga melahirkan rasa terharu dengan komen-komen yang ditulis dan berharap Allah mempermudahkan usahanya mencari jodoh.
