It has been sometimes that I began to be actively updating my blog. This is a tribute to Mr. & Mrs. Li-Faeeza upon their first baking class here with my mother. My mother cream puff has become very famous among my friends. Mrs. Faeeza was on the move to learn the cream puff making~ So I had arranged a class with my mother during previous holiday in May. She came with her lovely Mr. Li and a younger brother Faeezuwan. Upon my mother generousity, she taught her an extra recipe how to bake the egg tart~

The FRESH AIR FUND

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim and good day to all~

This is a special post requested by Ms. Sara from the Fresh Air Fund, I would like to personally thank her offering me the opportunity to post and to promote this great charity program. Really, I never realized that there are people, organizations either governmental or non-governmental that do this kind of charity such as this Fresh Air Fund.


In my previous campus, the Fresh Air Fund is similar to 'Titian Budi', which my application to be a facilitator was rejected. Nevertheless I am honor for Ms. Sara invitation to promote the Fresh Air Fund. Thank you Ms. Sara.

The Fresh Air Fund is a charity program which invites families to volunteer to host one or two children from the toughest neighborhoods of New York City. This kind of program is very charitable to the hosted children and to the host families themselves. The hosted children would have great times of summer vacation: out of the busy city, meeting new cultures and make new friends. The host families could strengthen the bonds and ties between the family members and be more grateful with what they have. Furthermore, the program could cut short the bridge gap between two different cultures or societies.

I hope that the organization of the Fresh Air Fund could spread their influences and good will to the world. To collaborate or to organize a greater fund worldly in the future. All the best and good luck from me to the organization and to the host families.


Fresh Air Fund History

In 1877, the Reverend Willard Parsons, minister of a small rural parish in Sherman, Pennsylvania, asked members of his congregation to provide country vacations as volunteer host families for children from New York City tenements. This was the beginning of The Fresh Air Fund tradition. By 1884, Reverend Parsons was writing about The Fund for New York’s Herald Tribune, and the number of children served grew. In 2008, close to 10,000 New York City children experienced the joys of summertime in Friendly Towns and at five Fund camps in upstate New York.

Missing Episode 24 - Birds Viewing

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Before my grandmother passed away, she was in deep illness that she was lying on her bed since late March this year. We the closest family members always frequently often made ourselves as free as possible to come and to visit our grandmother. For a few times in the evening, I sat down by the stairs and watching the tranquility of the 'kampung' environment while recalling all the events during my childhood life; growing up and playing around the house ^^

Short Post - Two

A little break with a song of the month by Nat King Cole: L-O-V-E

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
