Rasa macam nak lepak lagi kat sini... Sebabnya, masih lagi tk nampak Mount Kinabalu dari balkoni bilik... Couple sebelah tu dah dari smlm tunggu dgn kamera canggih nak dapatkan best shot dari situ, tapi kenalah tunggu cuaca panas skit... maybe around 12pm nampaklah kot. Unfortunately we all have to go back to KK, as promised, to return the car at the airport by 1.30pm.
Yang tak bestnyaaaa....... gilalah nak menunggu kat situ sampai kul 5.40pm. After check out, we went to Kinabalu Park just to have an express view of that place. Kinabalu Park is the entrance to Mt Kinabalu, and located at 1,585 metres above sea level and is the main starting point for the summit trail that leads to the top of Mt Kinabalu. Its covers an area of 754 sq km and is made up of Mount Kinabalu, Mount Tambayukon and the foothills.
Yang kelakarnya, disebabkan tebalnya kabus pagi tu, kitaorg terlepas jalan masuk ke situ. Dah dekat 10km terlepas baru perasan, and bila tanya org, SAH dah terlepas. Tapi disebabkan bukannya senang nak ke Sabah ni, so aku n Is decide patah balik je. Masa kat bwh tu bru nampak puncak gunung kinabalu. Itupun belah atas dia skit je. Apalagi, turunlah berposing berlatar belakangkan gunung tertinggi kat Asia tu. Drive punya drive, tibalah kitaorg ke Kinabalu Park. Memandangkan nak mengejar masa, and semua aktiviti bermula jam 9pg, aku n family just managed to drive around the park. Melihat chalet2 dan pemandangan yang menarik terletak kat dlm tu. Dapat tangkap gambar sebagai bukti dah tiba kat Kinabalu Park, we all pun drive balik menuju terminal LCCT di KK.Lamalah kena tunggu kat airport. Sbbnya anta keta kul 1.00ptg. Flight kul 6 lebih. Boring gak tapi nak buat camana, kalau pulang lambat nanti kena byr RM30 per hour. As usual la, Air Asia selalu delay flight, so flight aku delay pulak kul 6.40pm. Bertambahlah 1 jam lagi keboringan kat sana. Terus call abg titik bgtau flight delay and maybe tiba kul 9 lebih.
Dalam flight balik, Faris lak buat hal, menangis beria. Maybe penat kot, sbb tak cukup tdo. Mana taknya, mak n ayah dia dok berjalan je. Pack betul jadual. Sape yang pernah dengar Faris menangis, taulah mcamana kuat dan besar suara dia. Bleh dikatakan hampir semua org lah toleh tgk sapelah baby yg nangis tu. Aku n Is terpaksalah maintain cool. Bergilir-gilir berdiri kat belakang, tmpt stewardess uruskan makanan. Still gak tak berhenti. So spt biasa, ayah dialah penyelamat. Nak tau apa yang hubby aku buat??? Dia bwk Faris masuk dlm toilet. Sbbnya kat dlm toilet tu ada cermin. So apa lagi, Faris memang suka tgk cermin, so tersengih2 lah dia kat dlm tu. (mengikut apa yg Is citerlah). Aku tak tau apa depa berdua buat kat dlm toilet tu, cuma aku perasan dah tk dgr suara Faris, and both of them, dh tkde dah kat belakang kabin.Tepat jam 9.15mlm aku touch down kat KL. Huuuhh, relief betul rasa, sbb dah selamat sampai ke KL. Lepas ambik luggage, terus tunggu Abg Titik kat arrival exit. Mcm biasa, lepas naik je keta, anak2 aku (esp Nana) sibuklah bercerita dgn auntie dia apa yg dh jadi sepanjang perjalanan. Aku memang dh tk larat, membuta sepanjang perjalanan ke rumah. So bagi tahun ni, nilah Trip yang paling jauh anak2 aku pi, yelah slalunya asyik dok pi Tganu je... Nak buat camana, mak dia business batik...

Bercuti Di Sabah (KK dan Kundasang) - Day 3, KUNDASANG
Hari ketiga di Sabah, dalam itinerary yang aku dah prepare, trip hari ni ialah ke Kundasang. So aku dah rent a car masa kat airport aritu, utk family aku gunakan ke Kundasang. Seperti biasalah, my handsome hubbylah yang kena drive... Kesian dia... Tapi yang tak bestnya kerete kancil jela.. Mahal sewa keta kat sini. Kancil tu je dh RM108 termasuk insurans. Tapi oklah, asalkan sampai. Cina tu hantar kereta kat Hotel around 12.30pm, meaning that I must bring the car back to the airport by 1.30pm tomorrow. Flight lak lambat. Lepas sign dokumen perjanjian, we all pun memulakan perjalanan.
Memang jauhlah Kundasang ni... Kalau tanya orang kat situ dalam 2 jam lebih. Yang tu no hal lagi, tapi yang tk bestnya, signboard teruk. Tkde langsung tulis ke Kundasang atau at least "To Mount Kinabalu". Luckily my hubby ni memang peramah n rajin bertanya. So selalu lah berhenti kat petrol station atau atau tanya je orang tempatan kat tepi jalan tu. And seperti yang aku mention td, org sini memang best... Helpful in many ways. Knowing that it will be cold up there, I have already bring everyone sweater excluding mine. Byk betul barang aku yang tinggal, sibuk sgt sediakan barang anak2 n hubby. Along the way, memang lalu perkampungan di Sabah, even passby Tamparuli gak. Area ni memang tk byk orang Islam rasanya, bayangkan setiap 500m mesti akan terjumpa anjing di jalan. We need to follow sign board to Ranau in order to reach Kundasang. At last tiba gak kami ke Kinabalu Pine Resort, hotel yang aku book. Hotel ni memang cantik view dia, and masa check in, reception tu dh bgtau, dia bg aku stay kat bilik yang boleh nampak pemandangan paling cantik kat sini, iaitu mengadap Gunung Kinabalu sendiri. Tak sabar rasanya nak jalan2 kat sini.
Lepas letak barang kat dalam hotel, we all terus ke Poring Hot Spring, another 15km drive up towards Ranau. We all have to reach there before 5.30pm, takut tk bleh masuk lagi after that. Nasib baiklah tiba dalam 5.30pm and it's open till 6.30pm.(untuk makluman, kat Sabah ni 6.30 dh gelap mcm maghrib, sbb tu diaorg berbuka posa dulu dr kita). Nak ke hot spring tu, kena lak lalu kawasan mcm hutan lipur, tak jauh sgtlah ke dalam, yg bestnya kena menyeberang jambatan gantung yang bawahnya ada waterfall yang cantik n deras betul airnya. Memang tk bleh mandilah kat air terjun tu. Tak lama berjalan akan jumpa satu open area tempat mandi air panas. Dia buat petak-petak and ada gak kolam kecik. Budak berdua tu mula2 sibuk panas2, yelah baru cecah, memanglah terasa panas. Lepas dah masuk, teruslah happy, almaklum dapat berendam. Aku tak prepare swimsuit diaorg, so kena pakai panties jela mandi. Faris geram je tgk dari atas. Seronok berendam, lebih kurang sejam kt sana, akupun ajak diaorg balik memandangkan hari dah nak gelap. Tak sedaplah sbb bwk Faris, pulak tu kena lalu skit laluan denai. At least dpt lah diaorg merasa berendam kat situ. Buat syarat.
Arrive at hotel and after refreshing, prepare ourselves for dinner at hotel (dinner utk 2 org dah termasuk dlm harga bilik), memang berbaloi. Lagi berbaloi, dinner kat situ nama je utk 2 pax tp mcm utk dimakan oleh 4@5 org..... Ada 1 sup, 2 set sayur, 2 main dishes. Masakan style China, memang la favourite aku esp part sayur tu. Dh kenyang perut, masa untuk berjalan2 sekitar resort, menikmati pemandangan malam dan udara nyaman. Is jugalah yang beralah dgn aku, dia suruh aku pakai sweater dia, dia pakai 2 helai T shirt + 1 singlet utk cover kesejukkan. Drive to nearby market selling local fruits and vegetables. Kawasan sekitar memang teruk berkabus, so tk berani nak drive jauh2 dari hotel. Night mkt tk semeriah kat Cameron lah, ataupun maybe bukan peak season so tak byk yang berniaga. End of 3rd nite

Bercuti Di Sabah (KK dan Kundasang) - Day 2
Bangun! Bangun! itulah perkataan untuk mengejutkan semua orang yang sedap tido. hihihi. After we had our breakfast, all of us including Faris dress up for trip to Monsopiad Culture Village and Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. Actually trip ni disponsor semuanya oleh Ms Diana, dulu dia aku jaga dia masa kat Research Division dulu. Alhamdulillah save skit duit. Esp duit transport. One more thing, Tourism Malaysia's staff get free admission to this Monsopiad Culture Village (jangan mareeee yee). Sbbnya kitaorg selalu bawak group ke sana, so kira a gift from themlah. Kalau nak masuk, banyak gak kena byr, RM45 (adult), RM15 (child 6-12 years) and FOC kalau below 6 years. So kira aku n family save dlm RM120 lah utk masuk tmpt ni je.
Front Desk call our room informing us that the van is here to pick us up. So we all teruslah turun and jumpa dgn driver yang tgh tunggu tu. Van persiaran ni kira di charter utk aku 1 family. A brief descriptions on MCV (Monsopiad Cultural Village), it is a living museum located 16 km or about half an hour away from the KK City Centre. Monsopiad was a fearsome warrior who lived in the village of Kuai nearly 200 years ago. He is a reknown warrior/headhunter of the Kadazandusun people. In the existing house in which the skulls are kept (House of Skulls), we can see all 42 'trophies' of Monsopiad hang from the rafters.
Tiba kat MCV, aku terus mendaftar di sana, as a visitor. And kedatangan kami memang telah dinantikan oleh Admin/Operation Manager di sana iaitu En Awad B.A. Bajrai. After a minute of business deal (exchange name card lahhhh), diapun jemput aku n family for a welcome drink sambil2 dia cerita skit tentang sejarah MCV ni.
Sharp at 9.30am, we all are invited to a hall where they will perform a culture dance of difference ethnics in Sabah. Dalam kul 9.45 mcm tu baru lah nampak muka2 tourists yang lain dtg join kat hall tu. Tarian tu memang telah dijadualkan dan sesiapa yang datang ke sini dijemput melihat dan memeriahkannya. After the performance, Encik Awad introduce me to his brother, En Agil, Managing Director of MCV ni, then accompany us to have a look around the village while explaining some info n history of each event. So dapatlah aku mencuba menyumpit, lastik, kalau berani bleh try makan ulat sagu and mcm-mcm lagi. Ika n Nana teruja tgk salah seorang pekerja kat situ buat demo makan ulat sagu tu depan diaorang. Mamat tu lak saja je main-mainkan ulat sagu tu kat mulut dia. Dah makan, kepala je dia buang... (boleh tak korang imagine???) Yang paling aku takut meniti atas jambatan gantung yang diperbuat dari kayu untuk menyeberang sungai.... Uhhhh seram, dan berpeluh-peluh aku. Nasib cuma separuh jalan je, lepas ambik gambar, kena patah balik. So En Awad nilah yang jadi cameraman keluarga aku. One thing yang paling ketara kat Sabah ni ialah budi bahasa orang-orangnya.... Memang no 1. Kalau dia tau kita tetamu tempat dia, lagilah dia layan betul-betul. Bukan En Awad je tau, majoriti orang Sabah.
Next destination to Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. Actually tempat ni ZOOlah in other words. It was officially open to the public on the 17th February 2007 and located along the Penampang-Papar old road and is fully developed by the Sabah Wildlife Department. The journey to Lok Kawi Wildlife Park takes 30 minutes to an hour’s drive from KK (dalam 20 km rasanya).
Seperti biasalah kat Zoo, so kena lah berjalan lagi. Ika n Nanalah yang paling happy. Dapat lak tgk show dia kat auditorium.. Tunjuk parrot, orang utan dgn telatah masing-masing. Bila performer tu bwk masuk ular jeee dalam tu, lagi meriah dgn jeritan mereka2 yang takur n geli dengan ular. After the show, all of us take a rest while eating ice cream at the cafe before continue our journey. Lagi satu yang budak2 ni suka, burung tiong bercakap. Dia ckp "Hi", "Hello", "Bye Bye" and the most interesting singing "NEGARAKU".
Lepas dah tawaf 1 Lok Kawi tu, perutpun terasa lapar. Decide nak cari tempat makan nearby, but the van driver said that it will be difficult to find Muslim food nearby Penampang, so kitaorg stop by kat kedai nasi ayam (muslim) along the way. Arrive hotel at about 3pm and take a good rest. Sbbnya malam nanti aku nak pi beli kristal lagi. Silap tul aku tk ambik gambar pasar kristal tu.... BUKAN kat Pasar Filipina tau, tapi just beside Le Meridian Hotel. Kat situ lagi murah compare dgn kat pasar Filipina tu. Same quality. Tomorrow, another day to go.

Bercuti Di Sabah (KK dan Kundasang) - Day 1, KK
Alhamdulillah, arini baru aku dapat update pasal trip aku n family ke Sabah. Sebabnya baru mula kerja lepas lama bercuti. So back to the story, our flight is scheduled at 3.10pm. Aku n Is dah start cuti sbb nak settlekan byk benda. Kerja aku biasalah, kena pack barang untuk semua orang termasuklah si kecik Faris ni. Dialah yang paling byk brg nak bawak. Ika n Nana still went to school like usual. They did not know anything about this trip. We planned to go to the airport around 1pm, just after Ika came back from school.
Abg Titik sent us to LCCT (in return we have to send and pick her up to/from LCCT on 4th February for her trip to Cambodia). While waiting to check in, Nana call me and said "Akim tu mak". I couldn't get what she said and try to look at the person she pointed in front of us. Minah kecik ni memang peminat Akim, (bdk AF7 tu), yelah tak pernah missed tgk citer KAU DAN AKU. Rupanya, adalah beberapa bdk2 AF ni yang naik flight yang sama dengan kitaorg. And untuk menyedapkan citer lagi, Akim duduk betuk2 depan Nana dalam flight tu. Mulalah si Nana tersengeh-sengeh, iisssshhh kecik2 dah nampak. All of us knew she likes Akim very much and I have planned to ask Akim for a photograph with Nana n Ika after we arrived in KK.
Both kids was so overwhelmed in the plane (yelah, 1st time naik kapal terbang). Kira untung gakla, sbb kecik2 dh dpt naik. Aku dulu, bila masuk keja kat Tourism brulah merasa naik kapal terbang. Faris, mcm biasa, sentiasa tersenyum je, cuma masa nak take off tu, time tgh laju dia takut gak, sbb Is cakap badan dia keras, tahan takut... tapi lepas dh ada kat atas, ok sampai KK.
Bila dah tiba, ada lak problem kat imigresen sana. Dia tak terima MyKid sbb tkde nama mak. Yang bestnya dia ingat Nana tu bukan anak aku. Sbbnya, aku bwk surat beranak Ika (memandangkan masa dia lahir blum ada MyKid), tapi nana aku tak bwk (just bwk MyKid). Bincang punya bincang, akhirnya dia bg lepas). So PERINGATAN untuk saper-saper yang nak bwk anak bwh 12 tahun ke Sabah, kena bw sekali surat beranak (kalau bleh yang asal), untuk melancarkan perjalanan. Kat semenanjung tak byk citer.... kat sana je.
Time tunggu luggage, akupun terus panggil Akim and bgtau Nana n Ika nak ambik gambar dgn dia. Nana malu2 je, (tgk jela gambar tuuuu). His friendlylah. Akupun terus keluar n ambik keta sewa utk hantar ke Promenade Hotel (RM25 ke hotel)...Tak berapa jauh, cuma around 15 minutes drive from airport to Hotel. After check in and freshen up, aku plan nak ke waterfront, jalan-jalan n makan-makan lepas maghrib. It's just a walking distance from our hotel. Exerciselah skit. Tell u what, mmg best duduk lepak2 kat situ. Angin malam dari laut tu pun dah cukup menyegarkan... but hard to get MUSLIM food there. Kena tgk pulak la tempat yg ada org pakai tudung n lagi satu kedai yang ada tulis muslim food. HARGA??? Memang bleh tahan...MAHAL... Kedai biasa tepi laut, with the price of RM7.50 fpr a plate of fried rice... So bleh bygkanlah berapa kan????
Lepas makan, jalan-jalan ke Pasar malam Kg Air. pun tak jauh dari waterfront tu, just opposite Le Meridian Hotel. Kat situ jual macam pasar malam kitalah, and slalu org semenanjung akan beli UDANG KERING, BILIS and IKAN KERING kat sini. Buah-buahan tempatan dia murah2 gak. Opposite pasar ni, ada pulak pasar jual barang-barang perhiasan wanita (pearl n kristal) n brg2 tiruan. Aku rambang matalah wei.... semua nak beli, nasiblah takut budget lari... tapi apapun kena beli gak sbb dh sampai sendiri kat sini. Nana seperti biasa lah melaram nak gak gelang, Ika je tak nak (al maklumlah, Ika ni brutal skit). Yang best dia cuma nak t shirt je. Tapi dia tak pandai mintak, lps berapa kali tanya, baru bgtau nak apa. Balik dari pasar malam, semua kepenatan kat bilik. Esok, Diana (staff dari TM Sabah) dah confirmkan van persiaran akan ambik di hotel jam 8.30pagi.

Hardly Wait for Tomorrow's Trip
It's been about 5 month since I made the booking on Air Asia to Kota Kinabalu. And tomorrow will be the day that I should include in my life history. Yelah, sbb apa tau??? Sbbnya nilah 1st time aku akan fly ke KK sekeluarga dengan kehadiran Faris Irfan (bby aku yg baru masuk 7 bulan semalam). Both my daughters did not know anything about the trip as I hope it will be a surprise trip for them.
Somehow rather it comes across my mind, what it'll be in the airplane tomorrow??? I hope they don't create a scene and hope our journey runs smoothly as it planned. Aku bukan apa, takut je ada yang takut, yelah esp time nak take off tu, kan bising skit and laju.
So malam nilah aku kena kemas baju utk semua sekali, bwk apa2 yang patut utk trip kitaorg ni. Kalau trip ni berjaya, bolehlah fikirkan utk trip lain lak. Budak2 ni memang slalu berjalan, especially terengganulah (mak dia tokei batik,hihihi), so dalam keta tu no hal la. Balik nanti aku akan update dalam blog ni tentang trip kami ke Sabah dengan gambar-gambarnya sekali. DOAKAN KAMI SELAMAT PERGI DAN SELAMAT BALIK. AMIN.
ADIOS!!!!!!!!

FARIS TURNS 7th MONTH TODAY (20/1/2010)
Hihihih, tak sangka, cepatnya masa berlalu. Dah besar dah anak mak. Macam-macam gelaran Faris dapat, Auntie titik panggil (Tokei Sushi), Mak and ayah panggil (si tembam, apek mak), Kak Nor, maid uncle jai panggil (Ah Seng) and macam-macam lagi. Semua sebab muka Faris macam Cina, kulitpun putih.... Jauh tul beza dengan ayah, muka memang banyak ikut ayah, but skin mcm Mak dia yang comel ni la.
Anyway, as for today, Faris masih lagi tak berjaya nak merangkak, tertonggeng2. Dia pandai mengesot ke depan, tapi step utk merangkak, baru langkah 1 step, dh jatuh. Hihh, tkpe, Usaha Tangga Kejayaan anak mak. Tapi ada benda baru Faris belaja, Faris dah pandai buat bunyi... balas balik bunyi yang kita buat. Suara diapun Machoooo... suara lelaki sejati. Semua bermula masa Uncle Kai tanya ayah "Faris ni selain dari menangis, tkde bunyi lain ke?" Tang tu gak Faris terus berbunyi, agah Uncle Jai. Start dr hari tu, bermulallah bunyi-bunyian dr mulut si tembam mak ni. Tabiat dia yang paling bagus, time "membuang"... Celik mata pagi2 je terus
"membuang", tak kiralah pukul berapa. Kalau pukul 5 pagi bangun, pukul 5 tulah dia membuang.
One thing yang buat aku teringat-ingat selalu kat Faris ni ialah senyuman dia.. Dia memang murah dengan senyuman. Malah kadang2 tak bleh dikategorikan sebagai senyuman sbb dia sbnrnya MENYENGIH.(senyum sampai ternganga-nganga mulut). Mmg tu kelainan dia.. Agaknya masa mengandungkan dia, aku ni happy je kot. Mungkin gak la. Hati senang, tambahan bila dpt tahu aku nak dpt bby boy.... Tak sabar nak jaga bby boy pulak. Harap-harap senyuman Faris ni senyuman rezeki utk mak,ayah n faris sendiri.. Akak2 Faris pun sayang tul dgn Faris, esp kak Ika tu. Sibuk je nak dokong adik dia, yang Faris pulak, pandai pulak main dengan akak dia.
Harap anak-anak mak berjaya dunia akhirat.... Apa yang mak n ayah buat semua untuk kesenangan dan kebaikan korang. Mungkin ada yang terkurang, tapi kita kena ingat, hidup mestilah ikut kemampuan kita. So far, mak rasa anak-anak mak and ayah dapat merasa banyak nikmat hidup walaupun masih kecik lagi. Jauh tul kalau nak compare life mak n ayah masa kecik dulu. Yang penting kita jangan membanding-bandingkan hidup kita dengan orang lain. BERSYUKUR ATAS SEGALA NIKMAT YANG TELAH DIBERIKAN OLEH ALLAH SELAMA NI.

Birthday Party for Cute NANA (6th Bday)
Finally......, I've made it. Setting a birthday party for Nana last Saturday. I had to wake up much earlier that weekend just to ensure everything runs smoothly as it plan. Having all household chores to do, plus preparation for the party tonight, it makes me felt a bit tension and tired. At times, I feel that I need to cancel the plan and postponed it to another day, but looking at Nana (so eager to have her birthday party), I will feel so miserable if I cancel it.
Luckily, mak came to help me around. Actually, I only cook Mee Kari, and plan to buy sate to add up the menu for tonight (taklah susah sangat), but the things is, I have to do all the works alone with disturbance from my kids including Nana itself. Is went to work till noon. And thanks to Abg Izal, sending Nor, his maid over to my house to help me. Abg Titik was the one I ask to buy Nana's Birthday cake.
By 7.30pm, all preparation have been in order and Nana has change to her princess dress (baju pusing2 as what she call it) waiting downstairs to welcome the guest. I did call Nurin, asking her to come over and bring Aisyah (Nana's best friend) to her party.
Guests' Lists
1) Win, Azam and Delisya
2) Abg Izal, Hera, Iman and Lutfi
3) Abg Naz, Kak Yan, Nabil, Naqib, Ain,
4) Nurin, Aisyah, and her son
5) Najib, wife and his daughter (neighbour)
6) Kak Titik
I treat everybody with dinner first, then to cake session. After lighting all the candles and everybody sing a birthday song to Nana, she with the help of others blew the candles with a big smile. She look so happy today, especially with all her good friends and cousins around. Me and hubby didn't give her anything on that evening, because we will bring her, Ika n Faris to Kota Kinabalu this coming weekend. That will be the present for all my children, especially Nana because this will be the 1st time for them flying in an aeroplane. I have plan it with Is since August last year. Hopefully everything will be as plan.

Happy Birthday My Girl!!!!!
Nana was already in her bed, when I jumped in her room at about 12 midnight just to wish her "Happy Birthday"... She look sleepy but a liitle bit excited with what I did to her. I promised to her that I will arrange for her birthday party this Saturday 16 January 2010. She look at me and say "Thank you, Mak", followed with a hug and kiss me on my cheek.
She paused after that and slowly tell me that she is hungry. In the middle of the night, I could only suggest her for a bread with jam, and luckily she nodded YES for my offer. I ran downstairs, preparing her bread with jam, and bring it up to her room with a glass of water. I sit and watched her finished her bread with sleepy eyes. After finishing her drinks, I ask her to sleep because tomorrow is another Monday and she has to go to school like usual.
Cepatnya masa berlalu...... Nana dahpun 6 tahun....yang pasti walaupun dia tak merasai kasih sayang bapa kandungnya... Aku akan pastikan hidup dia sempurna serba serbi dan cukup kasih sayang dari aku, Is, Ika dan Faris. We will be your shoulder to cry on SAYANG.

Another Year of Learning For My Princess
School begin on 04th January 2010, and both my princess have to wake up earlier than before. Ika is now in standard 2 and Nana turn 6 this year. Me and my hubby take 2 days off just to make sure that everything run smoothly for both of them. Ika still went to the same school (Sek Keb Seri Putra) but Nana went to a new school (PASTI, Seksyen 5, Bkt Mahkota) with her favourite friend (Aisyah Safia, Nurin's Daughter).
Both of us including Faris (our 6th months baby boy) send Ika first to her school (thinking that she will be ok because of the same school environment before). This year she moved to 2 Kenanga (3rd class from 9 classes rank based on final year result) Like usual, Monday morning, the school starts with "perhimpunan" done in school hall. Along the way to the hall, I can see many parents taking the day off too to send their kids especially those in standard one to school. There are so many expressions on the kids faces on their 1st day of school. Cries, screams, fear are all over the places.
Looking at her surrounding, Ika also started to act differently... She refuse to let go of my hand, but I managed to console her with the reason to sent Nana to PASTI (as this is her 1st day in that school). I left her at the hall and went straight to send Nana to PASTI.
For Nana, although PASTI is new for her, she will be allright if she can be in the same school or even same class with Aisyah. At 1st, she was placed in the different class (with no appearance of Aisyah)... Me and my hubby could see that she is not very happy and searching for Aisyah. Looking at her face, we sympathized her and I asked my hubby to talk to Ustaz Nasir (the principle) just asking him a favor, so that Nana can be in the same class with Aisyah. Luckily we get a positive answer on the matter and ustaz bring her to Aisyah's class.
Sitting beside Aisyah, I can see her face glows and a smile comes from her (I observed her from the window outside the class). She even wave at me with a sweet smile. Feeling relieved with the situation, both of us and Faris went home.
At 2.30pm, we sent Ika to her Religious School (also in Seri Putra). This is her 2nd time to religious school (went to KAFA in Bandar Baru Bangi last year). She is not too keen to go to the school coz of the temperature (too hot in the afternoon). Feeling uneasy with the scarf that she has to wear, and even too much comments on the weather. But, with me advising and comforting her, she understand what's the need of her to be in the school. Me and my hubby send her to her class (3rd floor, 2 Ibnu Khaldun) and promised to fetch her at 5.30pm.
The whole day, me and my hubby is too busy sending, picking up and managing Ika n Nana.

A Brief Story of Me and My Family
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!!!
This is not the 1st time for me blogging in the net. Before this I'm more concentrated in marketing my product using blog but as time passes, I think it is more interesting for me to write things happening around me and my family especially to my prince and 2 lovely princess. Their life journey is only at the beginning and I feel that I will let them know and look at all happiness and sorrows in their life using this blog I've created.
As for me, I do have a lot of memories along my journeys. Some make me smile and some makes me wonder why those things happened to me...
But as for today, I thank Allah for all his help in making me a strong person, a wife for a charismatic, hardworking and lovable husband and a mother of 3 lovely kids.
As a working mom and wife, I somehow felt depressed because I couldn't give 100% commitment to all my love ones, but yet I will try to be THE BEST AMONG THE BEST for them. I will make sure that their live will be in order, achieve what they desire and be the one they will turn to if they loss their way and to express their happiness in life.
