Raya Mood

Now only I am beginning to feel the raya mood...after completing a draft on a project paper and an in class seminar presentation. Anyway, it was an interesting discussion in class yesterday...Lega sikit rasanya...but a few more assignments are waiting..but I will focus on that later...as for now raya dulu for the sake of the children. Today baru nak gi shopping..of course for them. Kesian baju raya pun tak beli lagi..they are looking forward to going...haven't decided where to go ..One Utama maybe..

Last night we treated ourselves to a late supper at Zoul's...western and chinese cuisine at that..not bad..sedap gak..at least now we have something good nearby and of course at a reasonable price. Oh by the way it is in Bukit Sentosa/Bukit Beruntung...must tell the people at the college to go there and try the food...

We will eat out for Iftar today..kesian Adam..nak rasa buka kat luar katanya...and tahu dia nak gi mana...MCDonalds je cukuplah he said...see..kids are still kids.. nasib baik gak dia tak ajak gi hotel..not that I can afford it.

Salam

IFTAR

Invited a few close relatives for iftar yesterday..it was a great gathering. The children enjoyed it so much as it was also a good time for them to catch up. Jarang-jarang jumpa; bila jumpa macam-macam..they could really do a lot within those limited hours.

This gathering has actually been the family annual affair..the interesting part is that you could really see the kids growing.

Raya is just round the corner..the kids dah bising bila ibu nak buat kuih..and kuih means only cornflakes..yang they all boleh tolong buat and habiskan before dihidang for raya...kalau ikutkan ibunya yang busy memang malas rasanya..assignment due this Tuesday and to prepare for in class seminar for friday. Kuih raya will only come after that but being a mother...deep down inside kesian anak-anak. Tak pe anak-anakya..we will make the kuih after friday ok.

Kenapa tak beli je? Well not being at the office memang takde can lah nak tengok senarai kuih ke, sample kuih ke....savelah sikit he..he..kalau tak beratus ringgit gaklah for kuih..but not this year. Plan to make one or two types for the sake of the children to enjoy and to experience the moments of making kuih..as I did when I was young with mak..

Mak memang rajin..bab masak-memasak ni memang bagi kat dia. Take nasi lemak for example..my husband and the kids cakap nasi lemak mak paling best...dah merata nasi lemak kat kl we tried..none compares to mak's...nasi lemak no 2 paling best of courselah yang I masak..dah belajar dari maknya tapi still tak boleh challenge hers.

Oklah today iftar is at mak's..mesti best. But first thing first, need to go and return the books that the kids borrowed from PNM..dah overdue..

Herani

Finally managed to have a look at Herani's thesis which is long overdue..Anyway, looking at the thickness of the volume..takut I. Boleh ke I produce one like that...InsyaAllah..must tell myself I can do it.

Syok sendiri lak tengok ada nama I kat acknowledgement..thanks for remembering me...kalau betul I lah..if not biarlah I perasan sorang-sorang. Anyway, just to let you know Herani..it is such a motivation...you are such a motivation for me too. Eventhough I wasn't even half way with you during your journey, the experiences shared were priceless. Looking at your thesis memang berbaloi...Tengah kecut perut ni nak exam this Friday..maklumlah dah lama tak sit for exams..except for PTK ari tu...

Know that your encouraging words are always there reminding, motivating me...

I was caught in an unexpected traffic jam at 10:45am kat tengah-tengah hutan after Templer Park tadi..tak tau kenapa ada road block. Bengkak gak coz dah plan things to do and especially on my readings....I take it as dugaan Ramadhan lah tu..

Salam

Patience

As a mother to 3 lovely children I still have to learn a lot about..patience...yes,kesabaran... memang a mother has to be patient especially with her children..kena sabar banyak-banyak. At times tu I even feel like I am not a good mother bila terhilang kesabaran tu.....but come to think of it ..no.. I have done quite a good job. Ameer is already 14, Anisah 13 and Ammar 8. Children, if you are reading this, know that I am proud of all of you.

Okay got to go..haven't read for my class tomorrow..2 chapters to cover and I am sure going to learn something new from my reading. Kak Shimah..if you are reading this,do not get discourage okay.

Just starting

Assalamualaikum...

This is my first blog..no, second blog. Learned the first one in a course...dululaa..and left it at that. Now, starting a new one.. just to find an avenue to write and share stories...

Today is the third day of fasting...it'sfun tolayan kerenah my youngest boy. He managed to complete 29 and a half day of fasting. This year he wants to complete the whole month..encouraging him of course...tapi ada gak..lenguhlah ibu..hausla..letihla..

But the most important thing is he wants to do it... yes..go boy.
