My Walks of Life

It was a `get wet-wet' birthday party. the theme was perfectly matched with the kids. Look at these snapshots!

Credits to Ancho & Kak Cho whom planned the event so well. since the kids were so busy occupying their time & space in the pool, we the parents had no problems at all with the usual chores : gossiping old stories, exchanging new ideas in parenting, chatting on almost hot topics! and not to forget, the hassle-free to eat everything served. so glad that mama & abah could make it, and also mak yang & family. though it was dizzling rain once in while, the party still at its best warmth to the guests. Thanks bro & sis!!

Saturday was rather a relaxing day, though quite queasy having known how our Abir had performed for the 1st semester assessment. We went to pick up his report card in the morning, had chat with the teachers..on Abir mischieves acts and being imaginative (inattentive??) throughout class. not customized to one sitting merely, hop here and hop there, yet so friendly with everybody, funny & hillarious ;they would label him as the busy bee. Amazingly, beyond all those playfulness..he manage a considerably steady marks on average -ranked in the top 10 :). in fact, he got all A`s in the subjects except B for hafazan hadith. Very well.., just let him grow and mature at his pace., i suppose. I`m not going to put much pressure on him, he has had enough of those from the dad:) Later, that night we got the chance to visit Farra and family at Kepong. Had a yummy lemak cili api pucuk ubi for dinner.

Sunday was another story. we used to set eyes on those luxurious 5 stars condo in the city. though knowing there`s no way we could own one...or even step in? i always have this big curiosity wondering how it`s looked up-close. finally, the swimming trip arranged by Kak Cho, to one of the prestigious million ringgit condo (her company is based at the condo, it is still on-construction, you see?) was a dream came true. The 7 kids doesn`t care much. what they concern most was only the excitement of splashing & dunking in the amazing pool. Enjoy their pictures here :

yes.. , and i am a LOUD 30 years old mom & wife & daughter too. no wonder my kids are all LOUD and clear:)

Aside from that, 13th weeks of pregnancy promises me the stabilized in the progesterone level, that was a BIG relieves..!Alhamdulillah. no more nauseas, no vomitting, less heartburn. although with my 2 prenancies before, I only suffered in the 1st trimester, I was still worry this time.. who knows, if this so-called `pregnancy sickness` lasts for the entire weeks of pregnancy.

My thesis was untouched for more than a month! so, i`m behind miles off from my gantt chart. anyway, the other day we got this Symposium..where I need to present our research in front the the big crowd in the cool ballroom. thanks God, as the progesterone have resided, or else i might fainted behind the podium! i finally able to control my adrenaline during the speech.

Yesterday, Abang asked me what do i wish for my birthday gift? I said.. , either one of these...

An ultrasound machine...

Everybody start worrying about living their life since the fuel hiked last week. Of course! Every consumer products are increasing dramatically. Not only started arguing about the life, even raising questions like “how`re we going to live now?”, “should we cut down all our initial needs?” or even worst “ its better die than live!” Hey!! Does human are losing their faith to the AlMighty? Seemingly yes. Take a break.

My hubby and I are reading amazing book “ 3T-taubat,tasbih, tahajud” Jalan Pintas bagi mendekatkan diri kepada Allah dan menempah tiket ke syurga”. It does make sense why human having all the worries. The author of the book “Zaini Ali Akhbar, a leader in Majlis Pengasuh Hati, Indonesia” stressed out clearly that it is all about of the passion for the life. In order to pursue jannah, we must free the tightness of life from us. One must not worry if the life is entangling them because Allah is here with us, ruling out the cycle, taking care of the rest. We shall continue our life as usual, not fussing and complaining. Work from our heart, to have the baraqah in payment we get. That matters.

Let me quote some of his words in 1st chapter :

Dunia ini penuh dengan pelbagai kebaikan dan keajaibannya. Manusia sering terpedaya dengan kebahagiaan yang palsu kerana dunia ia sebenarnya adalah sandiwara. Apabila mereka menjadi lemah dan papa. Dunia pasti meninggalkan mereka.

Sewaktu keadaan fizikal manusia kuat dan penuh dengan nafsu, mereka mampu menikmati dunia sepenuhnya. Namun apabila mereka menjadi lemah, dunia melemparkan mereka dalam kehinaan yang nyata. Mereka tidak dapat lagi menikmati dunia sungguhpun keindahan dan kemewahan dunia itu tetap wujud.

Saudaraku yang seiman dan seperjalanan, apabila kita memandang dunia ini dengan mata kepala, ia memang indah menawan. Kita menyibukkan diri kita dengan seribu pesonanya. Tetapi, apabila kita memandang dunia dengan mata hati, sesungguhnya kita kecewa dengan segala kecacatannya, di antaranya :

1) makanan yang digemari tidak selamanya enak. Apabila badan tidak mampu lagi menyerapnya, makanan itu menjadi bahaya untuk anda.
2) Suami/isteri yang menjadi sumber kebahagiaan manusia, boleh menjadi sumber yang menyakitkan hati dan perasaan lebih2 lagi apabila kebahagiaan disandarkan kepada paras fizikal dan harta.
3) Anak yang amat disayangi dan diharap sebagai tempat bergantung di hari tua, ternyata meninggalkan anda keseorangan. Nafsu menguasainya dan dia terpesona dengan dunia, sama seperti anda di masa muda.
4) Kekayaan yang anda kumpulkan bagi dinikmati pada hari tua tidak terus ada bersama anda. Apabila anda sakit dan terlantar, kekayaan dan kemewahan tidak dapat mengelak ajal dan tiada ertinya.

Saudaraku yang seiman dan seperjalanan, ketahuilah dunia pasti berpisah dengan anda kecuali anda memanfaatkannya demi kepentingan akhirat.

Well, what do you think?There`s more to share..later.Insya Allah.

I simply not into blogging mood these days. first, i realized my comprehension skill was tearing apart because of my prgenancy!haha. second, the events which should be shared in the blog were dashing too fast.so many stories, variety of feelings box.

Anyway, thinking that history needs to be jotted down somehow. i might sound so strange and aloof in the entry. eat me. here it goes!

The weekend turned out to be a truly family agenda for our big family. saturday, farah`s internet friend coming over. this guy-he was on his sincere quest in meeting my sister and our parent and all of us! non-virtually-for real. it was a fine moment, having the gist that now there is someone whom really care for Farah`s heart. hopefully, it will all be as planned. we will be happy for Farah, as long as she is happy. that really matters.

Sunday, we headed to sepang for Pak Ngah`s son wedding. it was a `try-cuba` find the place journey, as the map printed on the invitation card was very very brief! i did tell mama, "kalau mama tak datang sama, memang la kami tak kuat hati nak gi kenduri ni. susah nak cari mana umah pak ngah ni:)" mama smile stunningly, and continue detailing us on our grand-grand father/mothers susur-galur. she did tell us many times actually. deep inside, i do concern that one day when mama wasn`t around anymore, am i that strong to bond this big family ties? of me being very malas to attend any wedding since young, very contrast to dear Farah. i realized years ago, mama is the one behind all these special bonding in the family. she`s the one who ensures the loves flame keeps on burning. anyway, this reminded me on chik ida`s entry on mama, it was really something. it did striked the soul of everyone of us.

what else?our maid safely landed yesterday. i noticed the gloomy shades of her face (had to come here and leave the family in acheh)last night. i did asked her whether she still wanted to continue a year contract with us. i definitely will let her go, if she changed her mind. she said she wanted to finish her mission.i know she had no choice. i myself wont` have the strength to leave my kids away. well, life needs to go on, right? everybody needs to make decision every day.(huhuhu, i doubted mine always)

don`t worry, we have our hope and pray to Allah, that`s our armour of life. Allah`s will, everything will be as planned. insya Allah.

its been quite a while. been very busy taking care of the loud kids for the past week. not only have to attend to all tlheir necessities...,in the same time mine. i`ve been hungry continuosly these past days till now. still queasy and dizzy..:(

my nephew had their circumcision done last week. alhamdulillah it went all well. we had to re-consider our plan on joining Abir for the circumcision team too. insya Allah later.

hmm..well well everyone.
