Up, up and away

Zaid & Sarah have grown taller. From these pics in HK and KL we can the differences in their heights. Zaid is almost 5' tall already. A few more inches and he will be taller than me. Sarah is also catching up with me. Zaid is wearing the same shoe size as I am. How fast kids grow! Before you know it, they will out from the nest... Now I cant imagine my life without them.

My Image

Lately some friends commented that Zaid looks like me and Maisarah looks like my late mum. Perhaps so... Well some friends still remembered my late mum from her visits during my school days.

At least my two kids have my looks. I cant say much about Zaki though. Zaki got my family's hair do.... He has his father's features actually. Cant help it... A is still the father of the kids.

Zaki is still in his exam week. Three more papers to go. His last paper will be on the last day of SPM actually, on Dec 16. A long break from Dec 07, second last paper.

Today was a busy day for me. Went to JPWP to settle Zaid's secondary school. Got the transfer forms from SMPJ and had to submit to JPWP. Then I had to run some errands. Had a sumptuous lunch with the kids at Restoran Puteri. Then did some shopping at warehouse sales. Got ourselves some good bargains. The kids had to wait for me to get my new blouses and they got their goodies too. So no complains.... Had to bribe them first.

exam @ apsh

Zaki trying to catch some sleep while waiting for his exam to start. Kesian anak ibu.... Alhamdulillah he is getting better but still on drip coz he is not eating much. His fever subsided and the swollen area less painful. But the pass on his knee still there and treated by antibiotics.


At least he is taking his exam at a comfort of his home. Wearing kain pelikat.... And he can lie down.

His next paper will be on Dec 2 which is Science. A week off...

Zaki - Hospitalized

My dear Zaki was in pain since noon and I decided to send him the the hospital again. He was in tears and my heart breaks seeing him in pain. He was admitted into the hospital and I had to make many calls to his teachers coz on Monday, he has his Maths exam.


A came to pick up the other kids and we argued over Zaki. Actually I am supposed to appear in court on Tuesday coz he wants to claim Harta Sepencarian. At a moment like this, when Zaki is facing his SPM, injured and hospitalized and yet, what matters to him is to claim his harta. What a thoughtfool father! Priority please! When he came back to sent the kids, Zaki was vomitting and all he cared for is sitting at one corner with his phone! What a father!

Oh Oh! School Holidays

Its school holidays again... Last long school holidays, we went to Hong Kong. It was early Dec 2008 and winter. No snow and very2 cold. The kids were not used to very cold weather and had hard time adjusting to it.

The trip to Disneyland was fun. Sara enjoyed the most and the boys enjoyed the rides. They were asking to go to Hong Kong again but this year, Zaki is sitting for his SPM. I intend to take them to Langkawi actually after SPM. And after that trip, we will be busy shifting house.

As long as we are together, we will salvage every moment and before the kids grow any bigger, I want them to feel loved and secured. My kids, my precious darlings. No matter where you'll in the future, you'll still be my baby.... I love you all.

Of exams and results

SPM started on Wed and Zaki did his at his school. Well.... There were Aznil and troop from Radio Era at the school and Zaki was interviewed live. What an experience! He was able to wear his basketball shorts because its quite painful for him should he wear long pants. Wearing his white uniform with tie and his shorts.... I think everyone will remember this for a long time!

And today, Zaid got his UPSR results. Unbelievable! 5As and I was in tears. When I heard his name called at the school, I was jumping with joy. Am proud of Zaid... Even his class teacher could not believe he got that results. I hope that he will keep up with his good results. Alhamdulillah.

Eventful Weekend

Last weekend, I think was the busiest weekend. I attended 3 weddings, a gotong royong, 2 ihtifal and my dear Zaki met an accident.... Wow! What a weekend! Zaki received 13 stitches on his left lower arm and bruises all over his body. And he is sitting for his SPM on Wednesday! I was running around to settle with his school, hospital, police station and also work.

Zaki was taken from the accident site to HKL by ambulance. When I arrived at the site, he was already taken by ambulance. I asked the policemen where was he taken, and to my dismay, they didnt know. They guessed HKL and I zoomed there and found him. Luckily my brother came to my rescue. He took the other kids home and babysit them for a few hours.

My dear boy was really scared and most of all scared that I would be screaming... but I didnt. Well... what else could I do. I accepted that as fate and thats the risk of living. It could happen to anybody whether you drive, on bike or even walking. I hope that Zaki would learn something from the incident and be more careful in the future. I emailed A to inform him, but as usual, no respond or whatsoever. I've done my duty to inform him regarding his son, but if he chose to ignore, I cant help it. For whatever the reason, I chose not to bother coz this is reality. If he could do weird things to me, what is ignoring his kids....?

The kids also dont expect him to come running should anything happened to them. Thats what he was as far as they are concerned. Being selfish even to his own legal kids.... How weird fathers could be... They only know how to fathered the kids but they dont know how to be the father. And yet they expect the kids to treat them with full respect! How sad....

The boys' birthday

The boys' birthdays were in September. Zaki and Zaid turned 17 and 12 respectively. We delayed the celebration because of the exams and it was in fasting month. The trip to Singapore was the birthday present. We were at Fridays and the boys had to stand on the chairs while the staffs sang the birthday song.

I wonder where will we celebrate birthdays next year.... The next birthday to celebrate is mine... Where shall I go? Any suggestions?

Piano lesson

Sarah had her piano lesson today. Her fourth lesson actually. Esther, her teacher is a very patient lady. She tried to get Sarah's attention throughout the lesson. As usual, Sarah's attention span is short. But I am happy with Sarah's progress. Now Sarah is playing with both her hands and reading notes. Am very proud of my dear little girl....

Maybe one day Sarah will be able to entertain me with my favourite songs... Barry Manilow's songs perhaps.... Even Now...

My off day

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my off days. This morning I managed to take Zaid to make his IC which was 2 months overdue. His 12th birthday this year was in fasting month and exam month. Last month I was uptight with a lot of things in mind and finally I found the time to take him. We went to JPN at Sri Rampai coz there are less crowd there. I once accompanied Zaki when he was 12 and the queue was like a mile long...

At last my astro got fixed. Sarah is the most excited one coz she can watch her 6++ channels again. Zaki is getting better but Sarah is down with fever. Can see the chicken pox coming out already. Hope she will be over it soon.

While I was running errand at TNB, I saw this show about abused women and the organisations who supported them. Good show... Kept me thinkin about all the other women who are facing these physical and mental abuse but refused to come forward. Women are not born to be abused especially not by husbands who think they are superior. We should not protect these men who do not value and appreciate us, women. We are the better species... Believe it!

Faces

We were invited to a little girl's birthday bash at a club in Damansara on Oct 16. The kids had fun swimming and they got their face painted. Well.. not like what other kids would go for.. flowers or butterflies. They wanted something different and even the artist were a bit shock when they asked to be painted that way.

On our way back home, they would try to scare other ppl when we stopped at the traffic lights. Hahahah... Sarah was still looking like a dog the next day when we attended open house at my bosses place.

Whatever or however, they are still my beloved kids... and plus Zaki who is now having chicken pox. Argh... three more weeks to SPM and had to miss school... More worrying for ibu now. Hmmmmm.

Rap Competition AND1

Zaki entered this competition held at Berjaya Time Square and finally he managed to get a recording contract. Firstly I am very proud of him for getting second and I am also proud that he has the courage to rap infront of people. He has the talent (dont know from whom) and I hope he will continue doing what he wanted. I wonder if A is proud of his son... Hhmmm I wonder.

At least Zaki has found his identity as a rap artist. Wish him well... Secondly, I am still worried abt his SPM exam which is only less than a month away. I want him to do well in his exam... He has to do well actually.

Congratulations Zaki...

Naza Fair

Top: Zaki, Arina & Sarah

Below: Arina

We went to Naza Fair at PJ minus Zaid but plus Arina. Her mother works there. Btw Arina is a sweet 17 year old girl who is Zaki's friend. I find her very helpful and a pleasant girl. We got our hands painted and Sarah collected some balloons.

We rushed to Sarah's piano lesson at Ampang Point and I end up buying her an electric guitar too. She enjoyed her piano lesson and just wanted to instill some skill for her. Who knows...perhaps she is talented...

Arina seems to get along with Sarah very well. Sarah can really behave well when Arina is around. I spoke to her mother that I am pleased with Arina and maybe I can adopt her as my daughter.... (If she doesnt become my daughter in law la). The chemistry between me, Arina and Sarah is magical. I hope the relationship will last long....

Sometimes people that enter into your life in some way are significant. I see Arina as a blessing in disguise, when I needed a grown up daughter to share my feelings. So mothers out there, please appreciate your daughters... I did not have that relationship with my late mother.

My beloved kids
