my Aqiqah

so, on this Sunday the 22nd June 2008 the same day as 18 of Jamadilakir 1429H; preparations was already on the way for Aqiqah* be bestowed upon me [*an Islamic rituals whereby before the 44th day since my birth my parents is mandatory to slaughter a sheep/goat on my behalf, have my hair shaved and officially to name me Princess Qaireen Naaila..........oops! only QAIREEN NAAILA binti Muhammad Zairy bin Zakaria bin Md.Shariff bin Ismail bin....this on I gotta check!!! ]

Very early in the morning after the suboh prayers, Abah and relatives had to drive over to somewhere in Temerloh to select the goat and have it slaughtered there and then! Brought that thing back to where's everybody were [almost everybody] in nenek & Tok jalil's house in Jengka 15 where relatives, friends & neighbors were busily preparing for the continued events i.e. the Marhabhan reciting of praises to Allah & Prophet Muhammad SAW peace be upon him and followed by DOA SELAMAT.

During the same time somewhere faraway in a place called Kelana Jaya, Abah's family comprising of Tok Abah aka Tok Dadda, Tok Mama, Aunty Shay, Eazy , Amy, unc' Amin & Iqbal were preparing to drive over to join-in the happening @ Jengka. They left very early in the morning all dressed-up and arrived safely at around when everybody was doing something or another in wanting to make the occasion runs smoothly! without all the fuss of any welcoming, they made themselves very welcoming by joining-in the happenings as all in the family normally does...........

The marhabhan was only amongst the ladies and so was me who was cutely tugged in the Buai specially made & decorated by Tok Mama; as a ritual I was passed and circulated around during one of the standing stance!

Afterwards which was already into lunch time, the Doa Selamat which was recited amongst the men and everybody was feasted with the wide choice of food-spread and obviously the mutton was the main & favorite of almost everybody!

It was all over [I mean only the events i.e] round about 3 something Tok Dadda's family have to take leave as they have to go back to this faraway place of theirs!
Abah & the rest of the relatives who was still behind have to tidy-up and make good goodness left behind from the happenings........
I must say that Ibu on that day was behaving & running around like a very helpful young girl forgetting that she's still in pantang and only 20 days after I'd jumped out of her window-tummy!!! A few of the elders had actually sarcastically told Ibu to take care of herself for Abah & my sake!!!

Anyway, alls well went well ...Alhamdulillah!!

abah's gelabah week!

uweeekkkk!!!!!I was planned to come out to see the world through the door like almost everybody but Allah have better plans for me...I had to come out through the window i.e. getting my loving Ibu to be caesared (operated on). u wanna know why?read on...

The evening of June 1st,2008 being a Sunday, Abah and Ibu went over to their clinic as accordingly as I'm already due with Ibu having a slight pain. And, having scanned the doctor's said to them not to be overly worried even though my umbilical cord was seen going around my neck. Normally, it would be alright so said the doctor but after 2 inducement attempts given to Ibu, nothing came out of it. Then Ibu had contraction and her water-bag burst. What came out of it, shocked the nurses who's suspect something is amiss....It was a mixture of greenish liquid instead of colorless (they suspect I had naughtily "poo-poo" in Ibu's womb)
they urgently rushed Ibu to the operation theater and beautifully cut opened my Ibu so that I can 'jump out of the window' and gave the cried of my life for being born on this day...and that was at 2:19pm on the June 2nd,2008 [bersamaan 27 Jamadil Awal] weighing 3.2kg with a length of 50cm.
All the while Abah was frantically chanting all the verses from the Quran that he could mumble and was profusely cold-sweating & praying that both his loving wife & me are in good hands and well.............(alhamdulillah)
The missy having cleansed me had called upon Abah to recite the Iqamat into my ears ; I am pretty sure Abah was mengelabah doing them but I heard him well, loud & clear!!! (hey!thats my Abah we're talking about...)
Anyway, before going any further... Abah is Mohd Zairy Bin Zakaria who has been fondly growing up being called Along or Zacque~ while Ibu is Noor Asyiqen Bt Abdul Jalil @ E-Cher @ Hawa @ Syiqen.
So much so, Abah kept on addressing himself clumsily as, " sayanggg anak 'Along' " instead of anak Abah to everybody's laughter.

Back at the clinic, friends of Abah/Ibu, Tok Mama and Aunty Chique was there to welcome me and congratulating both Abah and Ibu. I can see crocodile tears in Abah's eye all the while...I know that he's very proud+grateful+happy plus so many plus for having me and seeing his lovely wife had to go through the pain...
Later in the evening, Tok Dadda @ Atok Zacque together with Aunty Shay and Aunty Amy came by while Abah was reciting the Yassin. There was a lot of hugging and kisses and more crocodile tears... :)
How do I know?Because I surprised everybody by really struggling to open both my eyes for the first time just few hours being born.

The very next day after getting a clean bill and clearance from the doctor, both Ibu and me was allowed to go back.Yeah....Going back to Tok Dadda and Tok Mama's house in Kelana Jaya. Just before maghrib, Nek Nyang, Tok Jo and family came visiting me. I can see that Nek Nyang was really full of love when she hugged me that I'm her first 'cicit' or great grand child coming from her first cucu(Abah!)
