Mourning Day.....

It's the National Day of Mourning today...Smoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh mereka... Welcome home MH17... though this is not the way that they are supposed to be greeted home... To all family members and friends of the victims, we feel you...

 
and here's the message from the Management of the company....
 
"The Government of Malaysia has declared Friday, 22 August 2014 as a National Day of Mourning. On this day, we will witness the arrival of the remains of Malaysian victims who perished in the MH17 tragedy. The declaration is a show of our solidarity with the families of the victims in this time of unspeakable grief.

As part of observing the National Day of Mourning this Friday morning, we invite all MISC staff to convene at Level 17 area at 11.00am, to observe a minute of silence. During this time, staff of all faiths are also encouraged to say a prayer for all the victims. We also encourage staff to don attires that are respectful in nature, as befits a time of grief and mourning."
 
 So, no colourful outfit for the day... I have couple of black outfits.. thank god black is my favourite colour to the office...hence, this is my outfit of this mourning day....
 
Yesterday we reached home from work at 8pm... here's the sight i encountered the moment i stepped into our home... sejadah bergelimpangan.... telekung macam ular sawa... at the place where i normally do my jemaah prayer with the kids... and to my surprise.. instead of mumbling how messy it looked to have this view at the entrance of the house, they actually made me indescribably happy..... since i know, they did Maghrib prayer without me... Alhamdulillah.... :)
 but man.. i still need to train them to fold and hang their own praying attires...

**bunyi helicopter berkeliaran kat atas bangunan... the ceremony have started i think....
