Mum's Day with My Aunt

I celebrated Mum's Day yesterday with my aunt by attending a concert by Datuk Sharifah Aini at the Palace of The Golden Horses last night. It was a night to remember for all of us coz the concert was entertaining. My aunt came together with her youngest daughter all the way from Alor Setar to enjoy the eventful night with a few hundred people who attended the concert.

It was mother's day and birthday present for my aunt. Could find anything else to get for her; so I hope this concert would be meaningful for her as she is a fan of the diva. My cousin, being 18 years old at first could not appreciate the songs but eventually she had a great time. She managed to take some pix with Mawi and became my camera-girl during the concert.

The concert ended at 12.30 am and we reached home at 1.00 am. I really hope my aunt had a really good time and its my only way to tell her that how she meant to me... like my mother. Happy belated mother's day to you, Kak!

Cartoons - Disney

I love to watch cartoons. Ever since I was young, I look forward to watch Magical World of Disney on TV. Those days bukan ada ASTRO... only RTM 1 & 2 and yet the movies were a weekly treat. As I grow older, I still love the cartoons. In fact when I was at varsity, my late dad would tape for me Thunder Cats. I enjoyed cartoons so much that until now I cant kick the habit. I have compilations most of the Disney productions and I will watch them with or without my kids. My kids somehow or rather picked up the interest too.

I remembered watching Lion King maybe more than 50 times with Zaki. He was 1+ then. He kept on repeating the same movie again and again.... And yet I still like the movie. When I was pregnant with Zaki, I watched Beauty and The Beast and ever since then, the songs had been my favourite. Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion....

Sarah is also hooked on cartoons. Now she is repeating Mulan, Mulan 2; me Lion King and Beauty and The Beast; Zaid Lion King 1 1/2 and Lion King 2....

We are having a gala time watching all the cartoons. At least I have some common interest with the kids. CARTOONS.....

Dinner with my teachers

Went dinner with my teachers for Teacher's Day celebration. Took them to a Thai restaurant nearby. Food was good and affordable. Each teacher brought a partner. Ana took her husband, Nabila too her sister, Suraya took her father and I brought Zaid and Sarah....

The other pic is chocs I received from my tuition class last Sunday. Well... as usual my kids have the honour of eating the chocs. To all, thank you for your wishes....

Double Celebrations

First it was Mother's Day and then Teacher's Day. Mother's Day was celebrated with my kids - presents, steam boat dinner and wishes... Teacher's Day was celebrated with my students - gifts, drinks and wishes. Both, wonderful!

I adored my kids and my students. They bring joy to my life and my insentive to work harder and to be more dedicated. Every time I am with my students, I learn to love our differences and their efforts to please me. I can see that they are improving and appreciating my effort. My kids, no words could describe them. They are the centre of my life and each day, I prayed and Thanked Allah for borrowing them to me. They filled the emptiness in my life and with them, I dont think I need any other companion. As they are still living with me and Sarah will be with me for a LONG time, they completed my life. Whats there being in a relationship when you are not appreciated? Not only that, they shortchanged your life, hurt you mentally and physically.

There may be other companions for me in the future, insyaAllah but at this moment, I am happy with what I have. No complains and not wanting or seeking. Had enough of mistreatment from others. I want to love GOD, myself and my kids.....

Rainbow - A beautiful morning

As I entering my kindy one morning, my students were shouting excitedly showing me the rainbow. It was a cool morning and as I look at the rainbow and I smiled. Its quite rare to see rainbow nowadays and it somehow brought back a lot of memories when I was little. My late mum always reminded us not to point to the rainbow coz it may cause our finger to become kudung.... Hahahaha I wonder why....

Under the weather

Been under the weather for the last few days actually. After the kids had fever, then it was my turn. All I needed is just some sleep.... So I did that for the last few days. The weather was unpredictable and bloody hot!

Btw today is my aunt's birthday. Called her early morn and got the kids to wish her together. Last year I was in Bangkok and my kids called my aunt to wish happy birthday. This year birthday and mother's day present will be delivered when she come over at the end of the month. Cant wait to see her. Have not seen her since last Dec and she has never been in my new place. I hope she will like this new place.....

Today noon, we went to GE Mall as I have something to buy and I arranged the kids to meet A. I asked him whether he wanted to have lunch with the kids and as expected he refused. He was rushing as usual and took the kids to buy some shoes and toys. Sarah had been eyeing some toys and a few other things and the boys manage to tumpang beli together,.... Hahahahah. As for me, I didnt join them as I dont feel like it. I waited until they are done and came back.

I hope I will be better next week. Can still feel my body aching and tired... I need to gather some energy for tomorrow. I have many classes..... Happy Weekend everyone!
