A Rainy Day

Yesterday, it rained almost the whole day. Actually it rained half of the day. It was raining cats and dogs. It cleared all the smoke and dust.
As a very responsible mother (perasanlah pulak) and a mother on leave, I decided to fetch my eldest daughter from school. So, with my Avon umbrella, I fought the heavy downpour and dashed off to my daughter's school. While waiting I witnessed all kinds of activities happening at the school. Therefore, with my handphone, I managed to capture a few.

Click...click...click...here's what I had captured...



The place was all wet

Water pouring down wetting the garden

Parents sending their children straight at the school porch...



Kids running on the wet and slippery floor...not bothering whether
they'll fall while running



These kids were more careful...there's also a parent waiting...like me.



A few kids were busy calling mummies and daddies to come fetch them

Aisyah After 1 Month

It is really ajoy looking at your baby growing up. It's such a pleasure to see she smiles and sometimes try to communicate with me.
How time flies...now Aisyah has been with us for more than a month...
She brings joy and sooo much love to my family....

Arif n Cassandra's Wedding (but no pictures of the 'pengantin' though)

Last Saturday, I went to my cousin's, Arif, wedding reception. Actually, he wed on 23rd March this year. The reception was however held later due to the unavailability of the place; Dewan Perdana, Felda Merak Kayangan.
It was a lovely reception. The hall was beautifully decorated. There was also a band playing 'Melayu Asli' songs. It was good. The food was not bad...there was chicken curry (I think), 'dalca', 'sambal udang' (huge prawns), 'acar buah' and also beef rendang. Not forgetting the dessert which was 'tapai ice cream'. Yummy, but sadly though, I still wasn't allowed to eat it eventhough I have finished 'berpantang'.
My kids were having a nice time. I also met my relatives whom many I had not seen nor met for many years. There were aldo relatives whom I had never met...most of them were from my mother's side.
Anyway, I enjoyed myself...forgetting that I have baby at home...only for awhile...: )

Grrr....(part 2)

Grrr... well this is the 2nd part.
Yesterday, I got another message from the 'dungu' bank asking me to pay yet another payment. This time the charge had increased by rm30. How dare them!!!! So, without delaying, I searched for the bank's customer service number and called them. First call...I was put on wait. Then, they asked me to leave my number so that they could call me back. I did just that.
10 minutes...20 minutes...finally at the thirtieth minute the phone rang...it was from the bank.
Controlling my anger and irritation, I talked to the man calmly....telling him the whole problem from A to Z. The officer was a gentleman. He explained and agreed to my request. So, in less than 15 minutes my problem was solved...I had managed to terminate my card and I was also exempted from paying anything. Alhamdulillah.
Next time, I'll try not to get into anymore troubles...especially when it comes to credit cards...
By the way, I want to thank a friend for giving me a very good advice on the matter. If the bank had refused me, I would have done as he suggested...Thanks again.

Auni's 3rd Birthday

This is a belated update on Auni's 3rd birthday...

Auni on her new scooter...big sis looked awfully sad(behind her)

Auni displaying her new doll dresses...birthday gift from abah.

Auni and her slice of birthday cheese cake from Secret Recipe.

Big sisters sharing the joy of Auni's birthday by getting their own cake choices.
Alya is enjoying her caramel cheese and Aina her chocolate cake...all from Secret Recipe.
We didn't get a whole cake because it was usually wasted.
So, this time we decided to get each her own choice of flavors...and it wasn't wasted.

A Wonderful Serene Morning

The trees are looking sooo green and fresh after the rain.

It looks so nice and quiet

This too looks very peaceful...no signs of hectic activities...only sounds of the early birds chirping happily away up in the trees.

Aisyah...undisturbed...napping peacefully in her swinging chair.

Auni was also engrossed in her own world ignoring...

...her favorite morning tv program.

Well, this was the scenario that I managed to capture right after the morning shower ended...it's very peaceful and refreshing...no haze...yippee!!!
