Congratulations To My Brother

Today I went to attend my youngest brother, Nadmin Syah@Boy Open University Malaysia convocation day. The event started at 2.00pm. I fetched my kids in the afternoon n rushed back home. Then I took a taxi to PWTC. It was raining n I was so relieved to be able arrived at PWTC before the event started.

My bro received his degree scroll - Bachelor of Arts in Business Admin (BBA) from Pro Chancellor, YBhg. Tan Sri Azman Hashim. My bro who is now working at one of the government sector took this distance learning course to further his study.

This was actually my mom’s wish. My mom told him to further his study to the highest level as he can. And alhamdullilah, though our mom is not around anymore, my bro fulfilled her wish.

My dad couldn’t be here n as an eldest in the family I attended this big day. I never attend any convocation day except mine n this event was grand as it was done in PWTC. I was so proud looking at my bro walking up to the stage receiving the scroll.

I am very sure if my mom is still alive she will be the happiest person n a proud mom. Congratulations Boy, we are so proud of u. Well done.

My Weekend

Weekend is great. Beside I got a break from my routine I always have many people or guests at home. My dearest cousie – Piqah comes every weekend (please don’t stop k..) which cheered up our house. She is always around to entertain my children which they love so much.

Yesterday my MIL came over brought my two little nieces to attend Emir’s birthday. They were all totally enjoying the party. Happy Birthday to Emir. You’ve grown up handsomely n don’t even look like a 4th year old boy!

After the party we went to Ikea. As usual the place was crowded with people. We were just there for a while. At night we had our dinner outside. Makan besar.. sampai kekenyangan.

This morning me n hubby brought MIL, Fifi to morning market near Stadium Shah Alam. We had our breakfast there n browse around after that. In the afternoon we went to Pidin’s wedding held at Subang Jaya.

My weekend was really packed with activities. Two days just went off so quick. Wish it could be more longer...

Bear With Me...

Bear with me for a while to have u all read my boring n emotional post...

I hate when I wakes in the morning feeling sad n miserable. I had a rough time back few days. My life is more focussing about my children n home. I have grown up daughters with their unexplainable behaviour, emotional which sometime drive me to the wall. At that point I feel like to bang my head or scream out loud to make them understand what the real world is.

I also have my two little kiddos who non-stop seeking attentions. I sometimes felt guilty to ignore them especially when they were trying to tell me something. They always come at the wrong time where I probably was busy cooking or in the middle of doing something. Then both of them now have started saying n arguing that I love one of them more than another.

My maid also sometimes drives me nuts. She is now seems to forget lots of things that I told her to do. I have to tell her over n over again. I tried very hard not to scream at her face or say things what I am not suppose to say.

Then I have my big baby – the hubby who needs 100% attentions too. I sometimes neglected him a bit.. sorry k.. didn’t mean to do that. When people look at me they might think I am a leisure woman who has nothing to do or problems to think. I might not have pressure like those who works in the office but try to be me. The housework, children n stress are the never ending story.

I am a kind of person who sometimes takes things seriously. It might be something that might be nonsense or not important to others but it is a BIG thing to me. I will keep thinking n analysing it over n over again till I got head ache.

I have to make sure my home is clean, children organize, cook special meal n everybody is happy. Well.. u could say that’s my job n what is there to complain as others like me do the same thing too. Yeah… right.. if everything going smooth I have nothing to complain then.

No one say life would be easy n smooth all the time. I better stop now. I’m going down to take panadol, cook for lunch n baking. Yeah.. I will bake some muffins today. That will shine my day. Chill…

The Gingerbread Man

Today is Hakeem’s class show. I went to see this morning. It was their first show of the term – Gingerbread Man story.

The story was about a gingerbread man cookie baked by an old lady that later on turned alive. The gingerbread man got up and ran out of the open window. He has been chased by all the animals.

Hakeem played the role as a sly n cunning fox! When the gingerbread man met the fox, the fox offered him help. The fox tricked him which at the end the fox threw him straight into his mouth. And that was the end of the Gingerbread man.

Hakeem played the roll very well. He spoke out clearly n acted naturally. Hakeem actually loves to act on the stage especially when he is given a chance to hold the microphone. Well done Hakeem.. You did it well.

Dhaniah's Engagement Ceremony

Last Saturday was the day for Dhaniah bt Dato Ahmad, her engagement day. The ceremony was held at my aunty’s house n it was so grand n tersangat meriahnya. My father was the important person represent from the girl’s side, who did all the traditions talking stuff.

The ceremony started with upacara berbalas pantun which was so beautiful penuh adat istiadat. Then followed with the gifts (hantaran) exchanged. Dhaniah then had being called upon to sit at the lovely pelamin to receive the engagement ring from her future mother in-law.

The ceremony has being held successfully. The food was good too. I could see that my aunty n uncle were so please n delighted.

Dhaniah looked so stunning n beautiful. Congratulations Dhaniah. We all are happy for you.

Journey Back To Alor Setar

I am going back to Alor Setar today to attend my dearest cousin, Dhaniah’s engagement ceremony. The ceremony will be on Saturday. I am going back earlier to help out mana yang patut. But actually more to gather n kepo2 je. My aunty from Johor has arrived yesterday n the rest will be going back soon starting from me today.

This is going to be very excited as the last kenduri from my side was my bro, Amil’s wedding. Though this is only an engagement but I can foresee my aunty will make it as grand as possible. My children will be off from school for 2 days (Read this: Feel GUILTY Dhaniah….). They all are looking forward as well. I am bringing back my niece & nephew along with me too.

I also make special cuppies for the day. Varieties of orange cupcake, cheese blueberry cupcake, banana cupcake with caramel pecan topping n carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting.

I’ll be driving n hubby will come later end of week to join us. Hopefully the traffic will be good n no raining. I will be arriving in the afternoon n tonight… nasi royale here I come..

Honeymoon Is Over

For the last couple month hubby was “unemployed”. Most of his time was at home, meeting friends, spending time with kids n most of all be my ‘partner’ at anytime needed. And seriously it was so so good to have him around (except time2 ‘terpe’leot lah....).

Our activities started from early morning with sent kids to school, had breakfast anywhere we like which sometimes we even drove all the way to Kampung Baru. Then if we feel like to hang around at KL, we went straight away after sent kids n arrived at the place or mall which probably we were the first one to arrive! During night time after kids had settle for sleep, we sneaked out n headed to our favourite spot to have late supper.

Now I, both of us actually have got back to ‘normal life’. Hubby started his new job at the new place yesterday. He went out from house very early in the morning n got back home n night. Arrived home on the first day was the sad tired face of my husband. It was not the work but the traffic jam was the issue.

This reminds me those days during my working time. There were not a day that I could get back home without stuck in the jam. My kids were all grown up stuck behind in the car seat facing the jam with me. When we moved to Miri, it was a big relieve. The town is so green, calm n we love it.

I am spoilt with all this privilege that I got. I am please to stay in Shah Alam which I can go anywhere n find anything I want without going out from the district. Believe it or not that I am actually hardly going down to KL coz I hate to face the traffics.

Well.. who says life would be easy right? Nak senang duduk rumah je.. But money won’t fall down from the sky freely.. Like M.U.H said in his song - 'Lalalalalah hari-hari kerja. Lalalala bosan dengan kerja hahah. Lalalalalah itu baru kerja, kerja.’ Tapi duk rumah hari2 pun bosan gak…

Well.. currently my honeymoon is over.. I am counting day n continuously checking dates for school holidays or any public holidays. Planning for our next family trip end of the year as our eldest will be home in December..
