Ask any parents about their proudest moments, definitely be their children.

Rasa happy dan bangga dia semacam. Its hard for me to blend it into words tapi m sure if a dad or mommy reading this, ‘you’ would understand eh

On the same note, my entire family was enormously grateful and bersyukur as our first son got his UPSR results semalam.

He got 4As and 1Bs. Alhamdulillah…God is oft Giving Most Merciful…

Note to Miza (our firstborn just incase she will read this) – Ibu knows you scored better in your UPSR results 3 years ago and brings you where you are today, but sharing Abang Ngah’s success is somehow different because we both know ‘how’ he was years ago. Remember last year when one of his monthly exams he got the last position in his class? It broke my heart really but trying not to show it to him and I motivated him instead. As his mom, I ’see’ his talent. Hidden only Allah knows where.. but giving up on him was NEVER an option to me and all of us.  He ‘delayed’ his desire to study to only quite recently and somehow manage to catch up..)

So B, you and abang ngah, or Sarah or Syaza or even Ajin Piji are the reasons why I am here. His success is definitely yours and yours is definitely his… Let us all be happy and cherish the happy moments..

To dearest families, buddies and friends – Allah SWT sahaja yang dapat membalas segala doa dan kata-kata selamat anda..

We love you very much and thank you for sharing this joy time with us.

The answer – very the !!

My colleague asked me about some schedule this morning in her effort to arrange for a meeting and said to me, “Tomorrow is too short of a notice la Hani..”

I replied, “… life is short anyway !”..

In another incident, as we were watching TV last few days, my betterhalf was complaining about our dining tv. He said, the colour was fading and expressed his concern that soon rosak-lah tuh, he further acclaimed.

Minutes away just now, Syaza rang me from home and said, “Ibu, tv rumah kita tiba-tiba padam”..

Oh nooooooooooooooo.

Hmm…, wait till my betterhalf finds out.

As for Hani, I dah ready satu jawapan for him  …  “Sayang, life is afterall uncertain, what more TV???” 

haha (distress mode)…

Monday today.

And sebelum Monday menjadi ‘blue’ (hehe), jom layan gambar-gambar Syaza – her ‘before’ and ‘after’ her first dentist visit..

One gigi susu gone. She was all excited about it

*Before (sibuk jer Ajin Piji kat back ground dia tuh..) hehe  then *after”… sukanyer dia gigi dah tak de…

Then another big ‘mission’ that accomplished over the weekend was to take my birthday boy out for his belated birthday dinner..

Daddy came back earlier then expected (tak tahan mendengar aku mengomel kot ) , so he took us out to have the birthday dinner..

Happy belated birthday Abang Ngah !! (banyak makan nampak…)

weekend?? hmm…. not too bad.

Every Monday, my boss would ask me this, “Hani, how was ur weekend? Good ?”

For first few Mondays in my working years with him, all sorts of glaring answers I gave. Meriah sungguh segala jawapan-jawapan yang Hani kasi.

Then later, narrowed to something like, …”Hmm okay lah”.. ..

Much-much later (til present) however, he stops asking. My guess – he pitied me, because if he ever did-pun, I would say.. “Dont ask lerrrr!”

This weekend pun not sparing nampak gayanya…. Gosh, planning dan memikir pun saya telah penat tau.

To list down, some back-to-back stuff that I need to do, for this weekend namely,

1.  Syaza needs to visit the dentist for the very first time (she is all excited about it tho).
2.  Sarah wishes to cut her hair ( I hate the ‘wait’ at the hairdresser’s place!).
3.  Need to send food to Miza in Rawang since her class money is with me and its her class farewell (they want KFC.. mengada tau budak-budak nih!!)
4.  Esok malam, I promised a good friend to a dinner (corporate dinner??? erksss tetiba now I feel so malas!!)
6.  “NEED” to visit my lil sis, Awa and the kiddos (mommy dia beranak.. kesian adik I nih..)
7.  Need to take Hazim out for his pending birthday treat (Lahai… mana pulak nak bawak dia??)
8.  Tentatively, I nak sangat lepak with my buddy, Rynn as she plans to come over  (ada ka masa kita nih my friend??)  Erks..

…. bla bla bla the misc lists continues… (Am I complaining too much )

(Just in case you are wondering, why am I venturing the lists above all alone…. -  Suamiku ber hooray-horray this weekend as he is away to some Office Retreat??… arghhhh (jeles mode  nih!!).

Hmm… so come next Monday, jangan lah ada orang tanya how my weekend has been

I reckon, Monday is indeed blue afterall eh??

Feels only yesterday that I held my first boy in my  hands.. tup tup.. dah boleh buat IC dah anak bujang I nih hah today..

My first boy, Mustafa Hazim a.k.a Abang Ngah is born on this lovely date (11.11), twelve years ago.

Being ‘macho’ or ‘hanco’ (as he usually put it.. hehe), he quickly brushed aside any cake blowing or birthday celebration or any sort today, (thank god!) .., but your birthday has always remind me and  your dad of our emotions on the day when you were born.

After your Kak Long turned 3 years old, both me and Ayah became anxious to have a boy pulak. We thought it would be nice to have a pair.  Very timely, you were conceived, Alhamdulillah.

My morning sickness was almost unbearable that I thought, how easy would it be for me if the ‘insan’ who I carried in my stomach then, would be a boy-lah …

Oh yes, Allah is the greatest indeed. He answered my prayers, alhamdulillah. So, at exactly 5.40 pm on 11.11.1997  a healthy 3.4 kg baby boy came along and complete our family and our feelings was beyond any words can say at that time!!! We felt so deeply blessed with your arrival my son. 

So my darling son turns 12, today…..  I said to him last night as the clock striked midnight, “already aaa???) hehe.  Time greatly flies ay.  Me and his dad brought him along with us to watch the Premier show of much awaited – the 2012 malam tadi and we all enjoyed the movie to the max. It was one of the best movies I have ever seen. Highly recommended (selingan)…

Timeless and non-boundaries is our love for you… Ibu and Ayah always pray that you will have a happy, good and successful life. Sky is the limit for you to pursue whatever and whoever that you want to become.

Since you almost hate to be photographed, so Ibu susah sungguh nak carik latest photo of you.. But anyways, Happy Birthday! We all love you sayang! Have a fabulous time today k.

Weekend last was historic!!….

Mana tidaknyer, as we we joyfully and proudly celebrating our Syaza Irdina’s graduation from her kindy – Little Caliphs on Saturday, 6 November 2009, on the ‘other’ side of the world - a newborn is being born into our extended family !!

To Syaza Irdina – as you graduates from your kindy, Ibu has these to say – Ibu and Ayah loves you very much. You have done us proud darling, as always. Membesar lah menjadi anak kebanggaan keluarga kay, May Allah SWT guides you and showers you His blessings along your journey. Amin.

It was our tremendous joy as parents to see you growing up being all healthy and happy…

Here are some photos of the year-end concert and graduation..

Nevertheless, less then 24 hours before Syaza’s  ’big’ day, my lil sis, Awa, with our Praise to Allah SWT, telah selamatkan melahirkan another 4.2 kg boy contender (thats how his dad puts it.. hehe).

The one precious photo below is taken just hours after his arrival by his daddy.  Here he is.. all tembam and tiut..

He is born Friday, 6 November 2009 (kenapa tak tunggu esok nyer dik oi macam Pak Yang ckp – 7 Eleven??) Ish.

He is yet unnamed.

But Ibu doakan hanya yang indah dan terbaik buat ‘orang baru’. Allah SWT in all His Greatness and Wisdom plans your life already, I am sure. May you membesar bagi johan kay …

Hmm… like I said earlier, as Kak Syaza was graduating grom her Kindy, here you are being born to start a fresh life altogether !!

Allah has His plans ay…

Hey

It was a birthday. Iman’s. She lovingly turned sweet 15 on 2 Nov @ Sunday. She is my buddy’s, Rynn’s firstborn.

Happy Birthday Laling !! Hope you had fab time eh.

.. and ehem ehem, like what the tajuk says la… I tried my hand at ‘emceeing’ at Iman’s Birthday

Big task.  My first time. Glad that I did it…Best gilerrrrr. (Aku nih memang gila mikropon ke apa )

(errrrr… sape-sape nak bagi job lagi??) hehehe.

Then,

It was a RETRO!! (budak-budak tuh sumer paham ke apa RETRO dik oi). Untie Hani nengok, you alls sumer datang ngan jeans segala jerk. Zaman retro, jeans bukan cam gitu dik oi.. hehe.

Tapi we alls… hah ambik ko!!@@!##!! (pantang buh theme !!)

Ada baaaannnyyyaaakkk lagi details here at my buddy @ FAIZ’s. Read up kay..  Infact gambar-gambar kat atas tuh pun sumer di ‘pinjam’ dari FB Cik Faiz kita…..

Ok, off to work…. banyak sungguh keje ku di hari ini. Erks.

I remembered that day was humid and it was a Sunday…

Sarah and myself were in her bedroom, talking.  We were watching ‘Wolverine’ on our DVD and at the same time, I was scribbling some notes and some wordings.. well, cant help it… I am indeed a writer at heart ay??

Sarah asked me what was I doing. I said.. nothing, just some words that came accross my mind ….

Then she said, she also actually loves writing..  Wow.. indeed true-lah nih – ke  mana la tumpahnyer kuah if tidak ke nasi kan??

So here it is.. in her own words.. and quite personally, I think hmm… not bad.. not bad at all… for a 8 year old??

** As it reads….

Pada suatu hari, ku merenung matahari
Pernahkah kau menerung matahari
Kalau pernah ku merenungmu
Kalau tak pernah tak apa
Ku merenung bulan kau pun sama
Di pantai kku gembira kalau tak
Ikut ku sedih

Pada suatu hari, ke merenung bintang
Malam pada masa itu ku merenung mu..

(Ish boleh tahan jiwang anak aku nih hahh….)

Take care people!!

This month was particularly hay wire and hectic..

Macam-macam hal, macam-macam citer.

One of many is that my Pacific cooker hob rosak. Sudah beberapa minggu actually… I seriously do not know how my bibik at home memasak with that ‘almost’ faulty dapur coz I seriously do not have her courage and bravery. Yesterday as she was away on her monthly break, I tried to memasak and was like, h*** takut!! … Api gas dia ala ala tersumbat nak keluar.  On top of it,  Im particularly has always been hindered with anything that got to do with fire, gas or any sort…

So, I bugged my better half .. hehe

We straight away went and get a new Phileo hob.  Finally!!

One of most important thing in my life that to share also.. is that my first kakak (Kak Long) telah selamat berangkat ke Tanah Suci Mekah over the last weekend. May Allah SWT bless her journey back and forth…

Another quick story is that beloved Ajin Paji. Gosh how time greatly flies and he is all big and smart boy today..

Last night before bedtime, I asked him, “Sayang.. sleep Ibu jom??”

Guess what his spontaneous answer was..

“Tak Leh Bu.. Ibu sleep ayah kay. Kiss kiss ayah jer…”.. OMG!!!!

Until later folks. Take care

hehe.

Tapi itu lah hakikatnya. At this point of time in my life – I am just simply so so busy…

On the most top of the ‘busy-ness’ and zillion things-to-do list is that I am now entering a new path in my working career

Alhamdulillah, I am no longer doing or working as what I studied in college. I opened a new chapter in my working life this month with mixed emotions and new responsibilities of course….

Can I do it??  Would I manage… I then quickly recalled a wise friend once said to me, “Hani, our mind is like a parachute, it works best once opened”… I am sure everything in life happens for ‘A’ reason that only Him knows best. This must be ‘the best’ thing that could happen in my working life now and if I take it with an open mind – I might as well end up being ‘The Best’ at it !!

I then, raised my humble hands to Allah, The Most Merciful and Most Passionate for the rez’q that He spares me. With my sincere hope and spirit to be the best at what I am doing right now. I open my heart and my mind – hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih…InsyaAllah, with the guidance and support that I am getting from my immediate subordinates and most importantly the love that my family render – aspires me that impossible is almost nothing…

Next to the new career path, I am also busy being mom and wifey at home. Hari raya this year is really taxing me. Weekends especially. Almost every weekend, we would have either Singaporeans or Kelantannese over at our teratak. My house would usually will be packed with at least ten sedara mara at one particular weekend !  gosh dear me.  Well, I enjoyed having them no doubt, however only making me busier and busier – lah.

I was away in JB yesterday on a field trip and by the time I was back home, my beloved betterhalf pulak nak pergi outstation. sigh…

Then come this weekend, long weekend holidays la pulak as we celebrates Deepavali. Juniors are all back at home including Miza and this weekend will be another tiring and busy weekend for me.  With kenduri Haji, raya open house, reunion and bla bla.. (pikir pun dah penat…)

Well, no one ever says life is easy anyway ay.  So, have a good resting weekend people. Till we meet again…

muahs..

Starting from today, 7th of October till the 13th of October, my dearest firstborn is sitting for her PMR.

She is far from home, but dear with us in our thoughts and prayers.  Our neverending and constant du’a and  love from home for her to do well and her best in the exam. Mudah-mudahan semuanya dipermudahkan oleh Allah SWT.

InsyaAllah, God Willing – Ibu am sure Allah SWT has planned something great and big for you. Amin.

Like what Ayah always said to you darling - just be  yourself and do your best and leave the rest to The One Above..

Love you and see you soon, right after  your PMR kay.

To all dearest families and friends – we thank you for all the well-wishers, warm thoughts and du’a. We love you all and May Allah SWT grants us all good life with loads of joy and happiness. Amin.

Salam Syawal to all.

In the spirit of Hari Raya, truth is –  me and beloved family kena kuarantin from day one hari raya… so, kita belum la lagi keluar menziarah berhari raya pun..

Why aaaa??

My 6 year old girl yang berpuasa penuh and first time menyelesaikan Ramadhan with flying colours, Syaza Irdina on the eve of hari raya pertama telah dijangkiti chicken pox!! Kesian sangat tengok anak Hani yang ini tau. Since she finished her Ramadhan full, dia lah yang kononnya palinggggggg excited giler menunggu Syawal… pas tuh kena lah pulak chicken pox – so kuarantin la dia.. sampai ke hari ini, from berjalan jalan beraya and her tadika of course…

She is now still resting at home but have fully recovered, Alhamdulillah. Cumanyer, risau if berjangkit kat orang lain kat tadika.., so kuarantin lah lagi..

And memang betul berjangkit pun bendalah nih – to no other but her younger bro – Ajin Piji ku..

I snapped some gambar as a proof that they had chicken pox already. Orang kata, chicken pox nih kena sekali jer seumur hidup kan??

So to-date, hari raya is yet-not hari raya la pun for us all.. Hehe.. InsyaAllah this weekend, beraya pulun habis wa cakap lu !!
