Sumbangan Hari Raya - Sultan Selangor

This event was held in Shah Alam on August 28, 2010. I accompanied Sarah as she was listed as OKU. She had to queue up to receive her duit raya together with hundreds of other receipients from all over Selangor. She was brave enough to walk alone ( without me...).

And that was the last official outing for the late Datuk Sosilawati attended. I did saw her that day. What a sad thing that she had to perish in such a manner. My condolonces to her family. We have to redha as Allah knows best. For us, its a musibah that could happen to anybody. No matter whether you are rich or poor, death will sure to come. Ajal will come without us knowing...

MasyaAllah....

Great Times - Singapore Sept 2010

We went to Singapore on Sept 11, 2010. Drove to LCCT and parked my car there. Took the Tiger Airways and arrived before 1 pm. Went straight to the hotel and after that we were at Orchard to purchase tickets for Universal Studio. We had lunch at our favourite restaurant and solat at the Masjid Sultan. We headed to Bugis and went back to Masjid Sultan. Upon coming out from the masjid, we were amazed to see the sighting of the moon and the star together. They were near each other and it symbolized Islam.

The next day we went shopping around and at night we went to Night Safari. Unfortunately, Sarah was not feeling too well. We rushed back and let her rest for the Universal Studio stint. Luckily I brought her medication as I expected that will happen.

The trip to Universal Studio was wonderful. Eventhough it was a very2 hot day, we enjoyed it. Sarah managed to take photos with all her favourite characters namely Puss in Boots, Shrek, Fiona, Gloria, Woody Woodpecker etc. The boys were concentrating on the rides and Sarah was just waiting for the characters for photo shoot. The place was crowded but it was worthwhile.

Two Rayas in Singapore.... Next year perhaps, we will change venue... Where will we go?

1st Syawal 1431

Its Hari Raya today. Prayed at Darussalam with the kids and then they went with A. This year the kids dressed up for Hari Raya. As long as I can remember, this is the first time they are properly dressed for Hari Raya. I somehow wanted them to remember this Raya eventhough 1st Syawal is never my favourite day.

Tomorrow we will be flying to Singapore for holiday. Since cant think where else to take the kids, we decided to go holidays. Singapore pun Singapore lah... Still overseas... This year my kids received duit raya in Singapore Dollar.... Last year we were there coincide with Formula 1. Perhaps next year I will take them somewhere else. That means I need to save money from now. I hope Allah will murahkan rezeki I and I can spend more for the kids.

Selamat Hari Raya to all...

Another week to Syawal

Almost three weeks of Ramadhan passed and another week to Syawal. I finally recovered from my flu, Alhamdulillah. 1st Syawal marks my second anniversary and honestly, I consider my independence as GOOD. Life had been good and eventhough there were some problems regarding finances, I got help from the Al-Mighty. Also the help from friends kept me going and grounded. No complains about being lonely and my life is full of happenings surrounding my kids.

Last week Sarah and I were in Shah Alam to berbuka puasa with the Sultan Selangor. Sarah received sumbangan Hari Raya from the Sultan. Zaki got his from ADUN and now Zaid is at Shah Alam to receive his from Yayasan. I am happy for them...

We will be going off to Singapore for Hari Raya. As I dont have a kampung and as birthday presents for my boys, Singapore will be a nice treat. We plan to go to Universal Studio and the Night Safari other than shopping at Bugis. The kids loved Singapore and its about the only place I can afford too. Been saving for this trip and I really hope that the kids will appreciate and enjoy their trip.

I was told that A will be getting married next month. Good for him and I wish him happiness...
