Flights of Fantasy @ Venusbuzz.com

When does daydreaming start to become a concern? Check out my article Flights of Fantasy.


Blast in a bite @ Venusbuzz.com

I've been feeling lethargic lately, perhaps because it's the end of Ramadhan and there's a lot to get done :P I should really start munching on these foods, cause there's an energy blast in every bite

Conquering clutter @ Venusbuzz

I hate clutter, don't you? But like it or not, it's a part of domestic life, and it's something that we have to deal with regularly. To help remind myself (and others) how to keep clutter under control, I've written an article called Conquering clutter for Venusbuzz.com. How do you conquer clutter in your home? 


Emergency Lessons for Little Ones @ Venusbuzz

It's important for parents to teach their children about safety and what to do in emergencies, so I've decided to put together an article about what to teach children during an emergency situation. It's called Emergency Lessons for Little Ones, do check it out and share the tips with your family and friends!


Pregnancy precaution @ Venusbuzz

I'm turning 35 this year, so if I have another baby, there are health issues to consider. If you're approaching 35, like me, and are planning to have a baby, do check out the prenatal tests that you should talk to your doctor about in my article Pregnancy precaution at Venusbuzz.com.

The Contributions of Muslims to Medicine @ Aquila Asia

The latest copy of Aquila Asia arrived in the mail a few days ago, and I must say that I love the cover. I know some readers have commented on how they shouldn't show a woman's neck, as it 's not proper "hijab," but I think it's fine. The model is dressed modestly, that's what's important. But, of course, everyone's entitled to their opinion and I suppose it's one of the challenges that the magazine has to face. In my personal experience, most times, it's hard to keep everyone happy when it comes to the hijab issue anyway. But enough about that, here's my article for your reading pleasure. This issue is still in stores, so do pick it up, there's lots of interesting reads - I promise!

Best Buds magazine March 2011

I finally found some time to scan the March 2011 issue of Best Buds, which the publisher sent to me two months ago. I wrote articles on World Water Day, International Women's Day and Justin Bieber for this issue, I hope you like them :)

Shocked: London riots

Like the rest of the world, I am absolutely shocked by the sudden outbreak of violence in London. It looks absolutely terrifying on television, and to think I was there just a few months ago! Ashraf Haziq Rossli, now the inadvertent "face" of the London riots, was attacked in Hackney, which was not far from where I was. It's crazy scary how people can just turn violent all of the sudden, clearly there are many unhappy people in London, and they have a bone to pick with "Big Brother." Still, their frustration is no excuse for violent and destructive behaviour. I pray that peace will be restored soon and that everyone there will be okay. My prayers also go out to Ashraf and his family.

Testimonial from Gorgeous magazine editor :)


Having completed and delivered my 6th assignment for Gorgeous magazine, I asked the editor if she would provide me with a wee testimonial... and here's what she said :)

Dear Adline,
