Ramadhan Tahun Ini

Sedar tak sedar Ramadhan dah nak masuk separuh bulan dah berlangsung. Harap2 kita masih istiqomah seperti awal2 bulan dahulu dalam meneruskan amalan2 kita, Insya Allah. Aku ni mmg kes tertinggal kapal nak wish. Biasa lah, tiada alasan lain, kerja, kerja, kerja.... Apapun, aku tetap teringatkan blog ni, dan selalu berkira2 nak menulis, tp at the end of the day, aku usually flat dan end up tertido masa menyusukan Zayd.


Anyway, posa tahun ni x byk perbezaan sgt mcm tahun lps. Cuma mmg sedih la tahun ni arwah Umi dah takde. Awal2 posa hari tu pon ayah aku byk outstation, ke Germany seminggu lbh, so aku berdoa agar beliau pun tak la rasa teringat sgt dkt arwah Umi ni, sbb rutin dah berbeza kan. Cuma ni dia dah balik semula, aku rasa mesti sedikit sbyk ada dia terasa kehilangan teman gi teraweh sama2, teman balik lewat tadarus kat surau sama2, teman bangkit sahur sama2, teman gi surau Subuh sama2, teman berbuka. Ya Allah, selamatkanlah Umi ku di alam barzakh sana dan berilah ketenangan dan ketabahan buat ayah ku mengharungi hari2 ini... Amin... 


Smlm dah ada episod aku sedu2 dalam kereta lps drive budak2 ni gi sekolah / pengasuh. Puncanya, terdengar lagu Adibah Noor yang 'Teristimewa' tu, tiba2 otak gi inverse kan lirik tu instead of bercerita psl kanak2 yg dah takde, teringat pasal arwah Umi sendiri plak. Dan air mata tak semena2 pun menitik. Nasib baik by the time sampai opis dah boleh control. Sebab kejap lps aku parking tu, di empty spot sblh aku mantan Timbalan Dekan parking. Malu ooo...


Tu je lah intro setelah dah lama x berbicara di sini. Kena buat short2 je ni. Ni pun tadi start Zayd duk panjat atas aku apa semua, sekali nak tggu siap 4 perenggan ni, tertido dah dia (dgn sbb aku tetekkan la). So imagine la berapa lama nak taip satu entry.


Ok, Selamat Berpuasa semua. Teruskan perjuangan!

Quiet Lil Birthday 'Do

I really suck at updating lately. But at least I'm trying. The universe has aligned itself tonight, and I get a quite moment. See these pics below? To my right, Zayd is busying himself 'reading', whilst to my right, Big Sis Aisyah is doing some proper reading and writing exercise. Thus, no screaming (from me nor the children!), no crying, no chasing around naked baby... Just peace and quiet... If I were to record tonight on video, all you can hear is the sound of the airconditioner humming in the background, I'm not kidding!




Ok I wanted to share some pics from Aisyah's birthday last June. She turned 6 on the 17th. On the day itself, she took goody bags to give away to her friends at school. She was beyond excited! 




Then at night we went out to celebrate at Grills. Everyone ordered either pasta or steaks, which was followed by ice creams. OMG, my kids really do go wild at all the sugar rush, as evidently seen in the final two pics!













Happy belated birthday, my darling daughter Aisyah. I really just couldn't believe you're six already. She was very mature about not celebrating it big and was really nonchalant about us giving her birthday presents later than her actual birthday. I guess we've done right somewhere in parenting her - materials aren't everything, but family is. May you be under Allah's blessings always, chocolate bunny!

Joliday to the North Part 3

Haduih... x berkesudahan lg ek citer ni. Sbnarnya mcm2 lg nak diceritakan, tpaku ni jenis yg kalo dah start, abis kan, no matter how long it takes (an attribute yg penting utk siapkan PhD tu ngeeee), so persevere je la. Bertabahlah korg hadap cerita nan basi ni ye hehe...


Orait2. So after sambut bday yg ala kadar smlm tu, the next morning it was time to check out. But not before makan breakfast dulu. Since ada amik extra bed, then everyone was entitled to the complimentary breakfast that morning. Selection kat Heritage Ipoh ni not too bad. Boleh la. Kebanyakannya ikut selera Msia, which is good. Anak2 paling terhibur dgn kolam ikan ni, dekattttt je dgn tempat buffet breakfast pg tu hoho... Zayd suka tgk ikan sampai x nak naik atas. berguling2 atas lantai. Ini adalah skill merajuk dia yg terbaru. Burguling walau di mana sahaja. Respond kitaorg adalah usually seperti mana yg digayakan Hubs dalam gambar. Selagi x berbahaya, let him go, let him goooo...! 







Muka tak puas hati kena naik lift (Zayd)


Ni view drpd bilik. Sempat snap sblm checkout. Keluar agak awal sbb ingat gi Lost World of Tambun. Sekaliiiii... tukar plan sbb budget mesti ramai org sbb cuti sekolah, and mcm rushing sgt. Kalo nak betul2 puas hati after spending that amount of money on entrance, kena tido di resort dia (which we were tryingt o book before we started this trip, but it was a complete full house, hence duk kat Ipoh tu). After weighing the pro and cons, we decided, next time la. This trip just jalan slow2 and very leisurely.


Macam gak kat Alor Star, kami ronda2 bandar dia dulu. Tapi mcm jgk kat Alor Star, Zayd fell asleep 5 minutes into the drive, maka ronda dari dlm kereta je la T_T






And the way back tu, we thought it would be nice kalo boleh at least fit some kind of family activity for the day, since it was early afternoon and all by the time kitaorg dah masuk KL. After a quick deliberation between the Planetarium, the Bird Park, the Butterfly Park, Petroscience, etc2.... Aisyah chose the Bird Park, so off we went. Impromptu mcm tu je...



The park was quite fun actually. Altho quite pricey (RM25 adults, RM12 child), it was quite big and ada byk birds yg roamed free. That made Aisyah and Zayd very the happy one hehe... 






















So there you have it. Our Joliday to the North :)  (altho the last part tu kat KL)
