Upcoming Projects...

Zaki got himself a new venture - KAAB BUNDLE - a shop selling used clothes and will be operating soon. He had been wanting to start his own biz since he was a small kid and as a present for his 18th birthday, his dream came true. I felt that he should move forward and maybe with his new responsibility, he would be a better person.

By the way A got married late last month and the kids were not invited. Perhaps they were not important to be invited and they are accepting the fact that they now have a step-mom. Good for A and I wish him happiness. Hope that it will last longer than what we had.

A new kindy managed by myself would be operating in 2011. Had been busy trying to get all prepared for the new place....

Wish us luck!!

Even Now

Even Now - an all time favourite song of mine. sang by Barry Manilow. I loved this song ever since I was still schooling; if not mistaken in 1978... Long long time ago. Not dedicated to anyone in particular actually. Its for me....

In fact I like all the songs by Barry Manilow. They seemed to be very meaningful to me. During my growing up years... I listened to his songs and even now I still listen to them. His voice is different; huskiness and distinctive. But too bad that my kids could not appreciate his songs.

I am searching for his music books, perhaps Sarah can play for me in the future....

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...

A Good Feeling

Today marks the 16th day puasa. I was called to buka puasa at the surau and an amazing thing happened. I could not find Zaki there and I thought he went elsewhere. Then when the azan came, I realised that it was Zaki, my dear son. I can feel my Goose pimples when I heard his voice! What a pleasant surprise.... How proud I was at that time and I realised Zaki had move forward....

It made me think that I needed to do something and most of all doa that he will be in iman forever.... Two years down from my singleness, we found our light together. I really hope Zaki will be able to guide the other kids to be better. The elders have faith in him and I am proud to be his mother.... Alhamdulillah....
