Goodbye 2010

A year had passed and overall it had been so-so for me. Many incidents happened in 2010 which were mixed between happiness and dreadfulness. Too many court cases that I had attended and more to come for 2011. All of the court cases were dreadful but I have to go through the legal system to fight for my rights. Even after more than two years being separated, the court has not decided on the harta sepencarian and I do not know how long will all end.

In the mean time, I had to continue struggling to support my family. Had to find means and ways to survive and to make my kids live comfortably. How tiring it may be but at the end of the day, the time that I spent with the kids is happiness. We may have less to spend but we have all the time to compensate and cherish with what we have.

InsyaAllah 2011 would be a better year for us and I pray that will end well in the near future.

Happy 2011 everyone!

To give or not to give....

I am in dilemma - to give or not to give away something dear to me. Due to some unforseen circumstances and some financial difficulty, I need to make up my mind without hurting or jeopardizing my relationship. This matter had been on my mind for almost a year and I cant seem to make up my mind. Its a difficult thing to do but eventually I have to decide. All I need to do is Redha and Tawakkal. Allah knows better....

Perhaps I should wait until my court date this mid Dec and I will decide then..... May everything ends well soon....

Gathering with Friends

The best way to spend Deepavali Hols was to meet friends gather2. We finally met at Shah Motel in PJ, all the 14 of us. No spouse n kids actually but I had to take Sarah along. We had a GREAT time talking about old times and a handful of us spent the nite at the hotel. We kept on chatting until 4 am....

The next day we proceeded to Pucuk Di Cita at Wangsa Maju for brunch. A few others joined in to replace some who could not make it for breakfast. But still... it was GAMAT!!!

To all my friends, thank you for being there.... Will love all of you always....

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?
