Tiara Beach Resort Outing

M*SK had an outing to Tiara Beach Resort of Port Dickson on 15-16th March 2008. The picture slides says it all especially on the fun-filled activities the children had.

SKBD's Annual Sukaneka & Sports Day

Sek Keb Bukit Damansara had their 2008 Sukaneka & Sports events on the 21st & 22nd March 2008. As a supportive mother, i took leave to cheer & support Azalea & Alisya as they each took part representing their classes. Don't remember the names of the events they took part in but am happy & proud to annouce their victories. Both classes managed to secure 1st placing & got themselves each a GOLD medal. Was indeed a happy & exciting day for all of us.

Cubalah Untuk Setia...

8 Mar 2008 Yes, ..on the day Malaysians performed their duty as voters for 2008 national election, it's the day that we celebrated our 10th year of marriage. Syukur alhamdulillah both me and rafik, we have made it this far and we hope to make it for the next 10 and so on. we've gone thru a lot together, the good n bad times n i pray to Allah to not stop giving us His Love, Mercy and Guidance in surviving His tests and challenges in our life. Thanks to all my friends for your support and love.. For.., us alone, we may not see the hidden answers we're searching for. Syukur alhamdullillah, we were blessed with our 4 beautiful kids and its for them that we continue living and facing the ever challenging world which is only temporary and the eternity is what we should prepare and be ready for.

"if you give 100% of your LOVE to another human being, never expect for 100% of your LOVE returned. BUT if you give 100% of your LOVE to Allah the Almighty, it's guaranteed that Allah will give you more than what you have given Him"

~Happy 10th Anniversary Husband~

Ostrich Farm, PD

Tiara Beach Resort @TBR

I'm back with another story to blog. Tiba-tiba pulak jadi rajin nak blog walaupun cerita dah basi. Hehe...

Since Iju and family are planning to go to TBR this weekend, I've decided to blog my family's stay at TBR and included some pictures so that everybody will have an idea of the place. The kids will have so much fun there. Najwa didn't want to get out of the pool.

Our stay at TBR was from 2nd - 3rd February 2008. Since Nasa was around, he decided to take us cuti-cuti Malaysia. I wanted to go to Kuantan at first. Cher had given me the necessary info about the hotels there. However, after considering the distance and the time that we had, I opted to go to PD instead. Thus, our stay at Tiara Beach Resort.

We had a room facing the pool. During our stay there, there were a few companies having their Family Day so, the pools were quite packed with children and adults. Besides the interesting pools, there were clowns giving out balloons; can watch movie at an open area (which we did not watch coz it was during Maghrib); cycling (a lot of bicycles to ride even tandem bike). There are many activities that you can do there. The place even has a spa which I didn't have the time to try.

On our way back home the next day, we stopped by the Ostrich Farm. It was a very hot day. Luckily Nashwan was very good. Nafis and Najwa had the opportunity to feed the goats. Nasa fed the ostrich. If the time is right, you can ride on the ostrich and you will be given a cert (if I'm not mistaken). The kids can ride the pony, touch the small croc and take pics with the monkey.

Well, that's all for now. I hope Iju and family will have a great time there.

Istana Budaya trips

Nafis' first trip to watch theatre at IB was on 11th Nov 2007. Ibu took Nafis to watch Peter Pan, an international production. It was very interesting to watch Peter Pan and Tinkerbell (played by our local child actress) flying above the audience.

The next trip to IB was with Auntie Jijah, Auntie Zukid and friends - Aiman, Shidah, Zakhwan and Faqihah. It was on 16th Dec 2007. We watched Aladdin, a local production. Mothers and kids really had a fun moment watching the antics of the casts especially the Genie of the Lamp (played by Faisal Ismail of Hotfm). After the show, the kids took the autograph of the casts.

Sorry gals, only Q's pic is clear during the autograph session.

Eagle @ Langkawi

Phew...................everybody seems to be damn quiet. Been busy eh?? Jija was supposed to blog her so-called surprised bday celebration on 20th Jan, Iju was supposed to blog her honeymoon@Bandung trip on 31st Jan - 2nd Feb & Anis should blog on whtever happened along the way. MASKwifey & children gathering on 8th Feb also yet to be blog!!

Just taking the honour to blog on my Pulau Langkawi trip wt IbuAyah family on 23rd - 25th Feb. The usual was the chocolate craze shopping. The unsual was our stay at the Aseania Resort with the so called longest swimming pool and our ride on the cable car.

TQ Airasia for making flying by plane possible! Waiting for more discounts for more exciting trips in the future....

Cheers MASK!

and now the son

now Rafik has influenced Z into golf plak. actually he bought the club for Z 2 years ago but only recently Z shows interest. so yesterday we all went to the driving range at Pandan Indah. Pik coached him n wallah tak smpi berapa minit Z dah buleh hit the ball correctly. he was sooo excited bout the whole thing. me n twins just watched from our table whilst nurin's duty to arrange the golf ball on the golf mat. sian kakak but she was complaining from the start that she' bored..so abah lets her do the job n she seems to enjoy it for a while lah!. i did ask her to try hitting the ball but she said "i DOnt like Golf!," ngan muka yg buhsan tu. duh! anak dara sorang tu...sometimes i dunno whats in her mind. she cant seems to like anything (except to be in front of the tv watching cartoons ALL DAY long !!!)..
we were at the range for about two hours. then we head to the playground coz twins wanted to go there. all of us enjoyed ourselves there except for Q. ntah apa punye mood dia smlm. she saw some kids with their fishing rod at the lake and so she wanted to go fishing plak. HIyak! mana la kami nak carik pancing masa tu kan. and so..she made the gloomy face and decided to just sit rather than go running around playing the swing or the slide. merajuk lagi. tak makan pujuk pulak tuh. but in the end maybe tired of just sitting down and kami dah tak kuasa nak pujuk..she took a walk on the reflexology path and tetiba mood terus cloud nine!...hahahha...funny girl she is! (p.s. kalau perasan dlm slide tu takda gambar dia sbb merajuk taknak amik gbr)

Good Morning Teacher..Good Morning My Friend

All ready for school!

"bila nak sampai sekolah ni"
nice toys!
lets All sing together!

yesterday (2/1/08) both nadiah & nadhirah attended their first day at "Tadika Riang". the same kindergarden both zakhwan n faqihah, cousins (amirul, ameerah), aunty (my little sis Ena) learnt to read, write n discover new things n meeting new frens for 3 consecutive years.hah!. Loyal betol kami ngan Tadika Riang ni!.well, i guess apart from the friendly teachers, its kinda convenient due to its distance. oh yes, raziq (kak fiza's youngest child were together with the twins too :))

the nite b4, nadiah seems to b having problem sleeping. she cant stop talking and climbing up n down the bed. i was damn sleepy and the last thing she wanted at 12midnite was a bowl of rice. alamak..mana nak carik, takkan nak masak tgh2 mlm kan. so i had to replace it with roti aje which she reluctantly swallowing it ... but abis jugak sekeping (*wink*). she finally sleeps at 1am. i guess she must be nervous bout the school thingy...heheh (kecik2 dah tension*). they were up early and all excited for school. abang n kakak shared the joy too and all of us sent them to school. they were ok at first but seeing raziq crying n wanting mama in class, twins started to cry for mama as well. nadiah was "cool" compared to nadhirah a.k.a adik. and so we (me n kak fiza) ended up sitting in the class n listening to Ms Lee the teacher singing n teaching till the end.. :p

"good morning teacher, good morning my friend, how r u, how r u"...ehhehehe (same old song sejak berabad2 lama2nye)

i believe twins will need about a week to adapt to the new environment. am praying hard they will behave and enjoy their schooling there. i will be on halfday leave again tomorrow so to check that they will ride on the right transport back home.

my current challenges so far...(sigh):

• ensuring twins to sleep @10am every nite esp. on weekdays. (currently paling awal they sleep at 1130pm..phew!)
• instead of browsing thru 2 school bags, checking homeworks n stationeries, now i need to add 2 more bags!!
• masa mmg sentiasa mencemburui ku...rasa mcm tak cukup masa jek every day...will really3x feel it next week when i start working and the morning rush to prepare the kids n twins for school plus preparing myself to work.
• there goes my beauty sleep and tiny xtra longer hours of sleep masa cuti sklh aritu
• taknak list byk2...kepala sendiri dah sakit..ahahhaha...

but i guess, the twins have their challenges too , first time away from familiar faces at home, meeting strangers both small people n big people, new environment, no more late sleeps, no more Tom & Jerry cartoons until 1030pm and no more late wake ups!must b tough for them too...AND they are only FOUR yrs old and.... here i am at 35 talking n grumbling bout My challenges...duh!!!!Now, i feel i am being cruel to them pulak!...sob sob sob...(bad mama!)

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 !

sleeping beauties

they just got to touch each other, musti mcm ni gak masa dlm womb dulu ek

"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...
i m now preparing mentally n physically for their first day at the pre-school next week.
lets vote..who will cry more...nadiah or nadhirah???? start ur vote now frens..hahahhahahah
