Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha

This very important Muslim holiday is celebrated at the end of Hajj, which is an annual pilgrimage to Mecca. The ‘Festival of Sacrifice’ is followed by a ‘Feast of Sacrifice’, which pays homage to the prophet Ibrahim AS unselfish act of sacrificing his son, prophet Ismail AS to Allah SWT. In turn, Allah SWT spared the prophet Ismail's life and instead substituted a sheep. Now in remembrance, people sacrifice a lamb, goat, or other animal, and give the meat to family, friends, relatives, and most importantly, the poor.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha from Yus and family.

mama's office

the other day..while i was in the kitchen..my 3 yrs old boy came to me and..

"mama..why you like kitchen so much?"

"hmmm..because i have to cook."

"why you have too cook?"

"if i don't cook, then we have nothing to eat."

"so... kitchen is your office?"

"hmmm ya...?!???"

"okie dokie..bye mama."

hmm nampak gayanya macam tu la...for the past 7 years..and for many more years to come. Eventhough am not really good at it, but the most important thing is my kids love my cooking...like Aqeelah..she prefers my laksa, nasi lemak to others..she said..mama masak sedap tak pedas sangat..and Haaziq pun..well he eats most everything...as for MD..he's not that choosy tapi org katakan..air tangan isteri tu pengikat kebahagian rumahtangga....so office pun office lah...!!!

mixed feeling..

Abah was a very dedicated teacher...even mak used to be a teacher before she got married. And even my inlaws were teachers ...so i guess the teacher's blood runs in my blood. Sometimes, strangers, whom i met at functions, or other places often said.."you look like a teacher"..donno whether they just trying to be nice or really meant what they said..Anyway..feeling that i do have the passion and "the blood", might as well i applied for it. Earlier in my previous post, i wrote about the test i took, Mtest, and then i went to the final interview in August. The result was out last Friday. Seems like "looks alone is not enough"... harap maaf, nama anda tiada dalam senarai tawaran kami. Although if do get the offer i would not be able to go..my edd is in feb but knowing that they rejected you because you are not qualified was far more frustrating when you feel that you did quite well in the interview. Try again next year? hmmm i dont know..maybe not. Kept telling myself that, there are others that really i mean really really need the offer/job than me...and then maybe its a good thing jugak..i can spend my time concentrating on my kids..especially next year Aqeelah is going to standard 1. All things happen for a reason. I should be thankful..

New Superheroes in town

Watch out Cicak man! New superheroes in town! MD was home yesterday so he entertained kids with his so call art skills - topeng for superheroes. It was Aqeelah's idea actually. She found some left over paper plate (clean ones ) and asked daddy to draw her a mask. The other day we made ladybug for haaziq n butterfly for aqeelah from paper plate too. These are the things too keep them from fighting all day long -school holiday maa...sepanjang hari kat rumah..penat nak melayan..need to find activities /craft to keep them quiet for a while. Anyway they enjoyed it so much zooming here and there. Pretending to be superheroes saving people and catching the bad guys. So watch out Cicak man!
