Kota Belud - Aing's engagement

2010-03-08T21:39:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah...a "meminang" trip across South China Sea to Kota belud is a success. We were very impressed with warm reception by Linda's family, a ceremony full of traditional values and adat..

Here is the story...

Good news from Johor

2010-02-11T20:49:00.000-08:00

I got a call from my brother whom we call Aing (when he was small, instead of addressing himself as "Im" (Khairil Imran), he only managed to say "Aing". So it becomes his nickname until today...he said let's go to Kota Kinabalu next month..., Ok..I'm listening..for what? He said he and Linda (his sweat-heart laa..) is planning to get engaged next month..

Wow! I said..this is good news..although I'm a bit surprised because he never mentioned anything to any of us before, I'm happy for my little brother..of course there is a lot to do within this very short period of time. But it is OK..talents for planning an engagement or wedding reception runs in the family...ha ha..ye ke??Even Kak Long can give good opinion on the hantaran design (whether ada kelas or "darat")..

A meeting to discuss the details will be held in Pasir Puteh . Nini and Alin are heading to Pasir Puteh tonight whilst Achik and me will be leaving early morning tomorrow.

Hanan & Rosella

2010-02-11T20:19:00.000-08:00

This week has been a busy and exhausting week for our family. Hanan was down with fever from Monday 8Feb2010..and coming home from work on Thursday to see some rashes on his face and body kind of ring a bell for us.

12 years ago in Penang, Kak Long had the same sympthom, was hospitalized due to viral infection of her lungs. Panic, we took Hanan to our favourite doctor, Dr Steven and luckily the queue was not that long...Dr said this is "campak halus" or "rosella'..don't worry..not harmful,only cause discomfort due to itchiness..and he gave some medicine and lotion to make him more comfortable. What a relief...ughhh..

2010 New Schedule

2010-01-20T17:10:00.000-08:00

It has been quite sometime since I updated this blog,,,normal excuse, busy with other things..many other things. Lots of ideas to write but no time to translate that into writing.

The drive to write today actually came from a blog that I accidentally discovered yesterday while searching for a fitness centre in Bangi area. I admired the style of writing, not so simple English, very expressive, attached with nice very photos..I should thank the writer for the motivation.

3rd week of 2010..still adjusting to the new schedule..since Kak Long goes to SAB in Kg Pandan, we have to leave the house as early as 6.40 a.m...no more sleeping after Subuh prayer! Everyday, I have to make a big round from Bukit Jalil to Kg Pandan, then drop Wae at Kg Attap, most of the time stuck in the traffic jam on the Federal Highway before finally reach my office in Subang.

And after a long day at work..very tired but excited to go home and play with Hanan.. oopps forgot... Adik's tuition...every Tuesday and Thursday night I have to send Adik for tuition in Bangi which ends at 10.15 pm and normally when we reach home at 10.45 pm, my little boy Hanan is soundly asleep ..miss you Hanan..

Here are his latest photos..with different expressions on his cute face..

In deep thoughts...

Naughty but malu malu..promoting his favourite minyak telon

Screaming!!

Surprised..

Hanan's disgusting act!

Panic face..kena tarik telinga by cousin Luqman

Gotcha cousin!

Form 1 SBP 2010

2009-12-23T20:12:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, the result for 2010 intake to Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (SBP) was announced through MOE website. As usual, Kak Long and Wae are always cool...and me? Like usual also, sleepless night...nervous about the results...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...I keyed in the Angka Giliran and clicked,,,,,,,,,,,, " Wan Adilah Wan Johan..dimaklumkan anda tidak berjaya ditawarkan ke tingkatan 1 sekolah berasrama penuh 2010". Stunned... staring on the computer screen and a big sigh...of course I felt a bit frustrated..all mothers always want the best for their children.

However, deep deep down inside..don't know why I felt relieved...since Kak Long will not be away from us..will still be around..A blessing in disguise!

However..we are still waiting for MRSM results which will be announced in January 2010. We'll see..if the rezeki for Kak Long is here in Sekolah Aminuddin Baki (SAB)..we will accept it..anyway SAB is also a school with good reputation.

And Kak Long, good school alone will not guarantee your success, it's your continuos effort and hardwork which will bring success..insyaallah!

Chicken chop 1 Muharam

2009-12-18T00:12:00.000-08:00

Since Wae is away in Ipoh performing his duties as YaPEIM staff, all of us have to do weekend activities on our own...Wae, you should feel guilty when you read this!

So, today..early morning I went to do our routine groceries shopping at Carrefour with Adik..and felt like cooking something special for lunch. So, I decided to try out a new recipe of chicken chop (Kak As's recipe)..bought the ingredients and started to cook, of course with the help of Min & Kak Long..

Here's the chicken chop...with three different presentation from Adik, Kak Long and Mama...who is the winner?

Penang Trip 5th Dec 2009

2009-12-08T01:32:00.000-08:00

A short trip to Penang last weekend was an enjoyable one...together with Ma,Abah, Ije & Family, Nini & Family..

We introduced swimming pool & beach to Hanan..looked like he really enjoyed it. Thanks to Hafidz & Wae for taking nice photos..and thanks also to Wae's friend, Rahim for booking the room in Holiday Inn..next time we will definitely visit again...

Raya Haji 2009

2009-11-27T20:16:00.000-08:00

Raya Haji this year was celebrated quite differently, one thing because we didn't go back to Kelantan, Ma & Abah Pasir Puteh also couldn't come to KL to celebrate the Raya together...but it is OK since Ma, Uncle, Kak Jae & adik2 also celebrated the Raya here.

It was a joyous family get-together occassion..after performing the Aidil Adha prayer in Masjid Tuanku Mizan Presinct 3 Putrajaya, we went to Ma & Uncle's house in Klang where Kak Jae, Tie, Najmi and Adik Sofia were already there.. Elly is the chef, with the help from Anis & Bibik.

We also celebrated Kak Jae's birthday. Kak Long & Adik gave a special gift to their beloved auntie..a video clip showing all about Mama Jae..and their late night efforts in preparing the video clip really pays off..appreciated by their Mama Jae's tears of joy and appreciation.

Mama Tie also presented Kak Long the "mysterious" present for her 5As achievement in UPSR. Knowing her sister who is normally not capable of keeping secrets, Kak Long has been trying really hard to make Adik reveal what is that mysterious gift...but this time Adik was really tight-lipped..however still told Kak Long it starts from the word "G"..he he he..Adik..Adik..

Photos are not available now..so will be posted later...

Tunku Kursiah College (TKC)

2009-11-25T00:48:00.000-08:00

A letter for Kak Long came from TKC, an invitation to attend a selection session for 2010 intake on Monday 23rd Nov 2009 from 8 am to 8 pm.

I read the letter a few times..mixed feelings. Panic, happy, surprised, sad...tried to calm down...this is just a selection session, not an offer letter. So OK..and when I called Kak Long to inform the news..as expected she just said "Ohhh..OK, then Alaaa...". We sent her to TKC early morning and fetched her at 8 pm.

A good and valuable experience for Kak Long to meet with other girls from all over Malaysia..The tests include computer skills, public speaking, musical instruments skills, sports and quran reading. I asked her how she fared in the tests, she said NOT OK...

So let's hope for the best..always doa that Allah will give all my children blessing dunia & akhirat.. Amin.

Hari Anugerah Cemerlang 2009

2009-11-24T16:42:00.000-08:00

20Nov 2009..Hari Anugerah Cemerlang. Unlike previous years, Hari Anugerah Cemerlang 2009 was held in the same academic year..which is good since the standard 6 students are still around to receive their award..

Alhamdulillah..both Kak Long and Adik were amongst the award recipients...

Adik also participated in the performance, a traditional malay dance.

Kak Long - No. 6 and highest in Sivik dan Kemahiran Hidup

Adik and her BFF Qistina, sharing the No. 2 spot in Year 4

Adik, No. 2 and highest in Bahasa Melayu Penulisan

Adik and the dancers

Adik & Qistina

And me..the proud mother.. (The proud father is the photographer, so no photos of him...)

The Day of the UPSR Results

2009-11-24T02:14:00.000-08:00

19 Nov 2009..the day of the UPSR results..we took a half day off, went to Kak Long's school at about 10.30 am. Since not many parking space left, I reckoned that we were among the late comers..so quickly walked to the school's open hall and saw standard 6 students were all seated and the teacher were setting up the microphone. Just in time! I noticed Kak Long and her BFFs, Ira and Nurin sat next to each other and smiled at me..all with unexplained expressions..

The teacher started to call the students to receive their results from the headmistress..starting with the ones with no A, followed by 1A, 2As, 3As and 4As..and when the teacher finally announced the last name of the 4As..the students gave a big applause..because whose name were not called got 5As!

Alhamdulillah...Kak Long is one of them. Mama and Wae are really proud of you..with teary eyes I went up the stage together with Kak Long to receive the slip from the headmistress and thanked the teachers...a moment which I will always remember..

Thanks to our family and friends for the doa and prayers..

Nurin, Kak Long and Ira..with the 5As slip and big smiles..

UPSR Results

2009-11-17T21:58:00.000-08:00

This is Kak Long when she was a baby..and that was like 11 years+ ago.....

This is Kak Long on her first day of school...

This is Kak Long now..my "control ayu" lovely daughter...

Now Kak Long is 12 and she is getting her UPSR results tomorrow. I called her school just now to reconfirm and the clerk said we can get the results at about 11 a.m...Kak Long as usual is always cool..and I'm the one who always get cold feet..butterfly in the stomach..etc etc etc... anyway, as a mother I will accept whatever results she got. I'm just worried that Kak Long may get frustrated if she does not get 5As..one thing is because I think she deserves the 5As. Good Luck Kak Long...redha...Mama promise will act as the coolest mother tomorrow..

Spell It Right

2009-11-10T02:39:00.000-08:00

Adik was selected to represent the school to a Spell It Right (in Bahasa Melayu) competition in Titiwangsa (7 Nov 2009). So early morning on Saturday, we sent Adik to school and one of the teachers brought them to the competition venue. She didn't seem nervous, looked cool but unprepared. The night before I flipped through the Kamus Dewan and tested her spelling skills with some complicated words...Actually I was more nervous than her..

She managed to qualify for semi-final and Adik said the word which she failed to spell correctly sounded like a tamil word rather than bahasa melayu word..??? or may be she was too nervous..Anyway, good attempt Dik..Mama is always proud of you...

Makan makan @ Moqcik & Uncle Yie's house

2009-11-04T21:58:00.000-08:00

Last weekend, my newly wed sister (Cik) a.k.a. Moqcik and her hubby Zamri hosted a house-warming kenduri at Tmn Desa Serdang. Two weeks earlier Cik already booked my schedule since I have to be the chef a.k.a. "Mokcik Gemuk"..since the other "Mokcik Gemuk" of Denai Alam(a.k.a. Moqni) only mastered in Ayam Masak Kicap...so I have to prepare the main course for the gathering. The Nasi Dagang & Mihun Sup, alhamdulillah..enough for everybody..and got good reviews from the guests...(according to Zamri laa..maybe want to "bodek" the chef..ha ha..).

Good effort from Cik for preparing the desserts like Bread pudding, Batik Cake and Popia..may be she will be the next "Mokcik Gemuk" or Mokcik Kurus"..still not sure ha ha ha..

Anyway, thanks to Ma&Uncle, Elly&Tanji for attending..especially Ma for making sure the house is "OK"..nothing in the closet..

PKSR Exam Results

2009-11-04T21:36:00.000-08:00

I called Adik just now to check her PKSR results..she is very anxious to know the results coz it will determine how long she will have to let go her pink laptop..She got the laptop as her No 1 present for the last exam..and her Wae told her if she got no 2, she cannot use the laptop for one month..no. 3, two months, no. 4, three months and so forth...

From her survey..may be she will get No. 3 this time round..as usual Misha is the champion, followed by Adik's BFF Qistina..so,,looks like Wae will be carrying her pink laptop to office for 2 months!! En Wan..En Wan...new gossip in YaPEIM..En Wan suddenly likes girly girly cute gadgets..OMG!

FASIH Family..

2009-11-03T21:36:00.000-08:00

I asked my daughter Adilah whom we refer to as Kak Long to create a family blog as a family diary to capture our stories and memories. Also to share with others - our thoughts..happiness..sadness (hopefully not so much..)..and everything. When I was a student, I loved to write, but now..I only write work-related reports..so boring! Hopefully by writing here I could improve my writing skills..OK enough about that..Here is the 1st Fasih Story..

FASIH is actually Kak Long's idea..(she is very creative, not sure where she got it from, definitely not from me..).

F - Fatihah (my 1st daughter - passed away on 16th Dec 1995)
A - Adilah (Kak Long)
S - Sahirah (everybody calls her Adik)
IH - Izzul Hanan (my baby boy)
