31 Dec 2007

I am at work while my matey, i believe is at her children's school queueing for FREE text books. No idea of Anis's & Jija's plan for today. My first time posting a blog from the office! Not that i am free but just being plain lazy to work.
Am taking this opportunity to wish MASK & family a very Happy New 2008 Year (by the kapiaq calendar!). We, Muslims are lucky as we get to celebrate 2 new years every year. So if we have set a resolution using the Gregorian Calendar and can't abide to it, then we have another chance using the Islamic Calendar.
If i were to sum up the year's happenings, i'll definitely miss a lot as i'm famous for not remembering events, even the most romantic ones!
No pics this time as i have reached the peak of my laziness in downloading pictures. I have to blame it on my baby who has grown to be very active, attached, pampered, talkative, huggable & lovable.
In no time, our kiddos as well as teacher Jija & Anis will end their longest holidays of the year. Seem so long but ending in such a short time. My holidays started with.... kids get together with GG's girls namely Atira & Atisha having their pyjama party at my place on the 18th Nov, followed by my course cum outing at Taman Negara 23-25th Nov, then the most awaited MASK trip to Kuala Trengganu 7-10 Dec, my obligatory trip to Singapore 14-16 Dec, to acknowledge the presence of my 2nd niece, Azalea's second trip to S'pore 22-26 Dec with her grandparents which left me behind taking care of her big house & a maid, Alisya's 7th bday celebration at Rebung Rest 29th Dec also Alyana's first swim at d condo's pool 29th Dec and finally today......

ps. Experienced technical error wt my digicam this time. So only got this thru wordpaint of Athyna !

"my sleeping beauties"

surely glad that my twins finally sleep with kakak in the girl's room. it's been 5 days now! i didnt know how it started but i guess they must have been excited with the school thingy spirit, plus having the thot that they r big girls now n can sleep on their own. nadhirah still cries for milk in the middle of the night and by 6am u can feel her quietly crawling on our bed and sleep at the tip of our toes..hahah...adik la katakan. as for nadiah, i got to salute her. never cried so far and she sleeps soundly next to kakak. :)
congrats twins! u're abahmama big girls now...

Nashwan's Aqiqah & Cukur Jambul Ceremony

Alhamdulillah, Nashwan's aqiqah and cukur jambul ceremony was successfully held on 15th December 2007. The ceremony started at 11am with marhaban, berzanji and followed by cukur jambul. Nashwan was crying throughout the cukur jambul event because he wanted to sleep. He fell asleep immediately after the event. Mummie and Geboard's family were the only friends who could attend the ceremony. Thank you for coming. The rest had their own commitment. Maybe they can come next time for my 4th kid...insya Allah. When everybody had left, Nasa started to cut Nashwan's hair short before shaving it. He had to complete the task that night because he had to leave early to KLIA the next morning. Luckily, Nashwan was a good boy throughout the process. Now, he is bald but looks even cuter. My handsome boy. Ibu, ayah, abang Nafis and kakak Najwa love you.

In Memory of Mimi

i just received the news from the Vet, that our dearest Mimi died this morning due to FIP (Fatal Infection Problem). she was warded last nite at Hospital Veterinar in Cheras. we found her being sooo weak last weekend n refused to eat n drink.n last nite worsened, that she was lying n has no strength to even walk on her own. we noticed, for the last 1 month, her tummy was kinda bloated and we thot she was pregnant. but she was then active and we didnt know, she was already sick. When we brought her to the clinic last nite, the Vet did mention, usually for FIP patient, nothing much they can do and eventually it will die. only time will tell. we insist him to give the best treatment to Mimi for we still hope that she will recover.
I dont know how to break the news to Nurin. she will definitely cry, she loves her so so dearly..alahai..sebak betol aku!

*May Mimi Rest In Peace*

M*SK: Terengganu- Kuantan Rally "The Story"

Tganu-Kuantan Holiday Trip (7-10 Dec 2007)

GANU…here we come! What had initially meant to be a M.A.S.K trip to Kuala Terengganu, ended up with one member missing. We know how much Anis wanted to be part of this trip, but family comes first. That has always been priority for all of us. We hope there’ll be more trips to come and Anis and family can eventually join.
We had somewhat expected that the trip to the east coast to be a long and wet journey (it was warned several times by close friends.. but we insisted nevertheless). It had been raining in Selangor and KL for the past several days. It took us by surprise when it rained the most part of the journey, to and fro. So, a 5-hour drive finally turned into a much unanticipated nearly 7-8 hours … with stops here and there..for quick dash to the loo..and to calm our grumbling tummy of its hunger.
The Grand Continental Hotel was accommodating for us. With rooms next to each other, it was easy access for the kids to wander from one room to the other. After settling ourselves comfortably and turning the whole décor into our on little haven, we headed for dinner at the Restoran Terapung Puteri. We were quite ecstatic to find familiar faces there. Jalud, his wife and her family were in KT to accompany him on work purposes, I suppose. The food was disappointing, not to our usual standard. It was pricey and the service was intolerable. They got our orders wrong and it took them forever to have it prepared. I think the highlight of the Ganu trip was meeting Penk and he kindly took us on a tour to Pasar Payang to do our tudung and batik shopping. We had hopes to meet Mang and Shaberi, tapi apakan daya.
It was consensus when we packed our stuffs and headed for Kuantan.. a more familiar and inviting place than Ganu. But I must say, the weather bogged us down. Iju managed to make reservations at M.S Garden..very, very convenient. Next to civilization..hehehe (Berjaya Mall). Thank you so much Ju. We all made do with the weather and all. Caught a movie the second nite there. We were all ‘enchanted’ by the time the show was over. Food was scrumptious. If I recall correctly..think we had seafood on most meals. Gosh, I feel really fat. But no regrets. The food and company were great. Can’t complain. One regret though, didn’t really get to enjoy the pool that much. The pool and the landscape was a sight, but it rained all the time. The kids couldn’t careless I guess as long as they get to play in it. I guess they reminded us of us once upon a time…fearless and couldn’t give a hoot about anyone. We had a great time didn’t we gals? I did for sure. So mate..where is our next trip next year to?

M*SK: Terengganu- Kuantan Rally

Melaka Trip

On 1st December Nasa and I took the kids to Melaka as a replacement for the Ganu trip. We stayed at Puteri Resort, Air Keroh since it was the only place that was available out of 13 hotels/resorts that I called. We reached the resort around 4pm. After Asar prayers, we went down to the swimming pool. There is 1 big pool for adults and 2 kids pools with slides. The kids enjoyed themselves at the pool. That night, we went to Perkampungan Ikan Bakar Terapung, Umbai Baru for dinner. We ate at Juara Ikan Bakar. The food was delicious. After dinner, Nafis and Najwa got to ride the miniature car and bike available there at the fee of RM3 for 5 minutes. Najwa could not control her car so ibu had to chase after her.

After checking out the next day, we went into the city because Nafis wanted to go to "Muzium Kapal". We had our lunch first at Asam Pedas Selera Kampung near Mahkota Parade. A group of traffic police came to the restaurant to have their lunch while we were eating. Nafis got to pose with one of them. After lunch, we walked to the museum but it was closed for upgrading work. The next choice was to go to Muzium TLDM just across the road. Nafis and Najwa really love going up the naval ship outside the museum. After spending some time at the museum, we headed back to KL.

We achieved our objective of taking the kids to Melaka i.e. for them to enjoy themselves.

Najwa's New Hair Cut

Took Najwa to the hair salon yesterday for her 1st proper hair cut. Ibu has been cutting her hair all this while. There was one incident when we were in Myanmar last year. I accidentally cut the tip of her left ear. Luckily, the bleeding stopped. However, it didn't stop me from cutting her hair when I feel like it. She looks a bit boyish now. Hopefully, she'll look more girlish when the hair starts to grow longer.

MY PRIDE N JOY

Just want to share Nafis' proudest moment. He received a prize consisting of an exercise book and a pencil case at his KAFA school for getting number 4. The prize giving ceremony was held on 16th November 2007 at Masjid Muadz bin Jabal, Setiawangsa after Isya'. Ibu, Najwa and atuk attended it. Atuk must attend the ceremony because he has been sending Nafis to his religious school every morning. I hope Nafis will achieve more success in the coming years. All the best son. I love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAFIS

We celebrated Nafis' 7th birthday a day early i.e on 8th December because today (9th dec) Nasa is flying to Jakarta and atuk and nenek are already in Taiping (they went after the celebration) visiting relatives. Joining in the celebration is my cousin who's accompanying my parents to Taiping - as 2nd driver. Nafis received a school bag from ibu and ayah. Atuk gave him a new bike and he got 4 storybooks from nenek. Selamat panjang umur anakku. Semoga menjadi anak yang soleh.
