Trip around Johore

I was in Johore last weekend. Took my aunt to her son's house in Pontian. We first stopped at Tangkak. Been wanting to go there but could not find the time. We were there for just under an hour and we shoot off to Pontian. As it is a new place for me, I wanted to reach there during daylight. We reached safely at my cousin's house at 6 pm. We had dinner at the seafood restaurant after that.

The next day, we went to Kahang to visit an uncle. My aunt had never been to his place. I took the liberty to take my aunt around. We had lunch complete with durian and manggis. We then went to Ayer Hitam. Another place I wanted to go after hearing a lot of shopping stories from friends. And after spending an hour, I took my aunt back to Pontian. Shortly before 6 pm, I drove home. There were many vehicles on the road but I managed to reach KL within 3 hours. By 9 pm, I was already home.... Home Sweet Home.

I only planned to go to Pontian but instead I went around Johore. It was tiring but I was happy to entertain my dearest aunt. I really hope she is happy.....

Sarah is 10

Sarah is 10 on July 5, 2010. Had a small party for family and friends on Sunday, July 4th at the poolside. Her brothers prepared the place as I had classes until 2 pm. We had a small gathering and had lots of fun eventhough there were no other children at the party.

The kids are all now in double digits age. And that makes me feel old.... I thank Allah for giving me the kids as they are my only harta dunia and akhirat. I gave up my houses in return for the kids and would do anything to keep them. Come what may, nothing could separate me from my kids now.

Looking back, nobody could guess that my life is better off now. I've gained my weight and I am happier now. Should I know that life would be better, I would jumped into singlehood long time ago. But yet...its never too late!

Syukur Alhamdulillah for all the goodness in life and I look forward for my better years ahead with my kids....
