Words from my Heart...

A Real Ummi… Emotional, Yet the Rock Tired, but keeps on going Worries but full of Hope Impatient, yet Patient Overwhelmed but never quits Amazing even when doubted Wonderful, even in chaos Life Changer, every single day   I read the above somewhere and could not agree more. I tend to be the rock in my family, the scheduler, the one who plots our activities and plans our errands. I instruct, I remind, I activate. I give my opinions, I love, I scold….I am basically a spider with eight legs juggling everything from what food to eat to what to do during our free time… I often think what would happen to the kids, if I am no longer around. How will they survive without me..without my love and opinions? I know, that question itself is already wrong. For there is another that is way more organized.. more loving.. more firm and powerful than me. I leave my worries in HIS hands. Allah HU Rabbi.

This Ramadhan had turned out into such a beautiful month.... I love Ramadhan....but I don't normally like EID...maybe cos I get easily tired during Eid. I brought the kids to the masjid on Fridays/Saturday and Sunday nights for Terawih prayers... Adik waiting for solat Terawih to start So far, Abang does 12 rakaats before the qasidah break and will leave to play with his friends after that.  Adik does Solat Isyak and and a few rakaats of Terawih until she gets tired and she will wait by my side.  Mak gets to go as well...Alhamdullilah....Nani and Tok and Mamus  goes to the same masjid too so its really a family affair. I'm sure the kids enjoy it seeing family around. Mak making Dua after solat Terawih We love Masjid Abdul Razak..basically its a small quaint ' Kampong ' like Masjid and everyone is familiar by face to each other.... The kids are a regular jemaah so they are much welcome by the adults despite their a...

2nd Ramadhan.... Haven't been able to fast yet.... Might be able to start this Saturday..... Kids were feeling tired,restless and seems like I'm forcing them to fast Adik is much better and strong than Abang...Abang is always hungry despite eating sahoor.  This year, Ramadhan falls on their June Holidays so I feel that it is an advantage. They get to sleep and not use their brains for school.... We broke our 1st day fast at home, just the 3 of us, Abang Man bought 2 packets of Nasi Sambal Goreng for us.... and kids had prata.... We had bubur masjid as well....Bliss.....  It was just the 3 os us....Still, Alhamdullilah, everything was calm and peaceful.  Thankful for the rezeki that was on the table. 1ST DAY IFTAR YEAR 2016

Hi Sayangs... We celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary last Friday night......It was rather simple this year, yet it felt adequate.  Nothing extravagant and fancy....But I felt thankful and loved.  Had planned for a romantic dinner all week but since I wasn't well, we settled for a wholesome family dinner instead. Kids were not in the invited guest list, but after coming home from a tiring full week at work and facing 'hungry attention-seeking kids', we decided to just bring the kiddos of dinner....Oh well... the more, the merrier...furthermore...there woud'nt be us without them. And they are what our love is gelled by.  We had delicious Sirloin steak and dessert at Chef Amri's Le Steak jalan Kayu....and moved to bigger choice of dessert and coffee at Savoury just next door to Le Steak... Great weather for Al Fresco dining.... Overall, we had a great time, having dinner as a family, chatting away on how Ummi and Abah met....I'm sure you kids rem...

I have been sick for about a week... Not sure how bad my asthma will get... NOT SURE if it will ever be cured. I have been living with childhood asthma..... It comes n goes. Feb-mar season are the worse. I am sleepy but I can't sleep. It seems the cough meds are making my mind work overtime.... Kids are asleep.... its really gonna be hard to head back to work tomorrow after full weekend with the kiddos.... I love them with all my heart... The kids are better n ready for school after a week of high fever. Just took some prednisolone tabs for the lungs and a salbutomol tab... n wiped balm all over my chest.... I'm wheezing.... pretty bad.... Thinking of work tomorrow. So far 2 mcs before March ended....I hate MCs..... makes the bosses think we are weak and uncapable despite how hard we work.....or so I feel. Today, while driving back from our morning stroll at PASIR RIS.....I had to do an eBrake coz I realised the Red light a little too late. Abang who was beside me in...
