Fairy Princess Aqeelah

MD bought her a new set of Fairy Princess dress complete with wings and magical wand. This is her fourth princess/fairy dress. MD told her this is her present for getting good results in her previous exam and there will be more presents for her in the future if she keeps up the good work! Even Haaziq was being supportive by calling her "princess Qeela"..seronok sakan la...well she deserved it....eventhough the dress ketat sikit coz itu utk 3+ punya age but it did not stop her from enjoying it to its fullest...bangun pagi ja terus capai dress tu..kalau boleh nak tidur pun pakai baju tu tapi takut terkoyak..terpaksalah tukar pakai pyjamas...

Last week i bumped into my old "buah hati" or more like big crush...along with his wife n 2 kids. It happened that we now live in the same area. What a small world! Anyway...i must admit he still looks the same since the day we left college..gemuk sikit la kut..but still friendly as he can be..his wife is ok too..a bit shy though. Then i remembered my conversation with a friend recently. I was at one of the open house where i met with her ex. And as soon as i told her about it, the first question she asked, "sapa cantik lagi..kita ka bini dia?" and myself being so jahat...answered, "mestilah kita yg lawa lagi heheh" and the conversation keep going on and on until finally i gave her the answer she's been waiting for.. "ya la...memang hang la yg cantik lagi....memang rugi la si-ex tu ". Am not trying to tease her or what by bringing up this story (sorry byk2 ye mek) but its true..women.. we like comparing things. The same thing happened to me that day. When MD stood there talking to him, i was telling myself those two were so different in so many ways. One..whom i had crush for so many years.. memang crush habis-habisan la..sekampung pulak tu..am willing to help him in any ways..assignment, $$ ..on the other hand MD..a sabahan ( dulu i was so strict about not having boyfriend other than org utara so that senang nak balik raya ) willing to do anything for me..believe it or not according to him i am his first love... Alhamdulillah..i make the right choice. Although now i have to take turn everytime hari raya comes :o( ..tapi its alright. MD gives me more than that. Moral of the story tak kisahlah sapa cantik or what..the most important is the choices we make. Make the best out of it and let bygones be bygones!

ps: at the end of the day..think moi cantik lagi compare to my old crush punya wife tu hehehhe jahatnya!!!

...my girl

My baby girl is growing up so fast. Could not imagine she's going to standard one next year..she seems excited about it and could not wait to meet new friends. Last few weeks we attended her first convocation. It was held at Dewan Anwar, UKM. Yeah 6 years old and she already had had convocation..i had to wait until 24 years old to wear that convo gown.. anyway..as excited as she was to receive her kindy certificate..she was far more excited to perform. She's been rehearsing her part as a ladybird for weeks..even Haaziq could memorized her line pretty well. She just loved to perform..think she got it from me...back in my schooling years..i took part in various art performance..such as singing, nasyid, dancing ( tarian asli lagi ), musical play and many more.

Anyway...for all her hardwork, she managed to get no 2 in her class...which is very good for her considering she had problem understanding malay. We were proud of her so MD decided to buy her a present to encourage her to do better in her next coming exam...sometimes rasa macam kesian plak kat budak2 ni..they just entering standard 1 and dah di pressurekan ngan exam...bagi dapat no 1 etc. masa zaman kita sekolah dulu..entering darjah satu baru nak mengenal abc, 123...tapi budak2 sekarang dah siap belajar plus minus with 2 digits..and dah boleh membaca dengan lancar...some parents even hantar anak pergi tutuion class..the pressure is not only on the kids but the parents too. Maybe we are too hard on them...since they just kids..but then its the education system that makes us like this ...hehe as usual blame it to the system. Nak tak nak just have to follow the flow or else we will be left behind ..but we try no to push her too hard...we still encourage her to do what she like for example, she likes art much so we decided to enroll her to art class n also swimming class..hopefully it will balance it up.

Raya in KK

As i said earlier, this year we spent our raya holiday in MD's hometown, Kota Kinabalu. Although it was a little bit diffrent from here in semenanjung but we did enjoy it very much. We even went to Tawau to attend a wedding. It was my first time in Tawau. Didn't really get to go sightseeing tough coz the schedule was too tight. Maybe some other time. Here are some of the photos taken there. Enjoy!
