Raihan & Jannah's Wedding

Thank God, everything goes well for their wedding. We as a host felt thrilled and overwhelmed that everything goes as planned and we believed that we have tried our very best a first time host for a big event!

Relatives from my MIL maternal side came over all the way from Klang, KL - Malaysia. A few families indeed. And my families and my sisters who came to add merry to the happy occassion.
For now, all that we hope & prayed for is for them to be happy and may Jannah recover steadily from her cancer condition. She is one strong lady and may Allah blessed them both with happiness and perseverance.

You can catch a glimpse of their wedding pictures on my facebook albums.

And thank you all for helping us directly or indirectly in making the wedding a happy, success one.

Khair's Year-End Participation @ Concorde Hotel.

Earlier today was my younger's son participation in his school graduation concert for his K2 friends. This year the concert was held at the Concorde Hotel, Orchard Road - Singapore. This is the first time for us to step in this hotel. There was a tea-reception for all guest.

The theme and the performance in line was all a great effort put together by the school, teachers and students. Its a great day for us too.
The food was tasty, especially the fried noodles. and cakes and the chicken! Well, graved!

Apart from all that, the door-gift was a generous lot! My kids simply love the lunch boxes from Gym Kidz and Baby Furqan had a great time dancing away at the foot of the stage when Khair was performing his Hip-Hop Dance!

We are looking forward for next year graduation concert where this time, Khair's turn to graduate from preschool... Soon...

Selamat Hari Raya Haji.

Its Hari Raya Haji again! Phewww! Its just a few days ago, the house is fille dwith guests for the wedding and we are taking the chance not to do up the house especially since the master bedroom has been beautify with the past weddings deco. A simple one thou, yet its fulfilling as I get to sew the curtains and the side tables round-runner!

Well, for this year, my parents did their ''Korban'' (sacrificial of the goat) in Indonesia, while as normal, my parents-in-law did theirs locally in the nearby mosque.

Last night, we managed to drove the kids to a nearby mosque to take a glimpse of the goats before the Korban takes place.... Its a good experience for them, seeing alive goats which you will never get to see here in the Singapore City!

Hmmmm... I am hoping to do a ''korban'' for the kids soon. I really hope the plan will have a kick-start next year. Maybe a child first and so on.
Ok, got to leave soon... Heading to my parents house and then to Nenek house for more feast!!

Taa...

Brownie the bunny...

Here it goes, Brownie is new to the family. He is 2yrs old the day Candy gave him up for us to adopt. We grew to have this special bonding with him. Well, I addressed myself like how the kids addressed me - Mummy. Brownie is so adorable, grew to love him just like how Sufi, Khair & Furqan bonded with me...

 Brownie has started to familiarise with our home, he wanders around happily. Adorable!

Preparation for the Big Day!

All is well. We prayed hard for this day to come... Its just 3days more and we will have the event that we have been waiting for! Yes, its going to be held at our humble crib. We really hope that we will be at our very best as a first time host.

We have been busy for the last few days and spring-cleaning, painting the Big Day room, well just for display thou. And lots of fun and happiness filled in.

I really felt that, this is how our parents used to feel years ago when they hosted one of their siblings wedding. Yes, its the wedding of Rid's only younger brother - Raihan, to be wed to Jannah. Both a Primary school teacher, soft spoken and loved by all. We love them. And here we are helping them at our very best for their wedding event. Its full of miracles. All the best to them and of course US on our first attempt.

Chat again! Soon...

November Rain or Haze?

November has drove in, the rain has started to pour in and the haze is becoming lesser & lesser. We hope so. Its ridiculous and madness on how irresponsible some people may be which makes others pay for their mistakes indirectly. And thinking of all the children suffocated, suffered... Its emotionally wreakage for some.

Anyway, November not alone bringin in together the natural disasters, it has internal politics going on within kinship too. Where kindness is nowhere near to kinship which has been nurtured for years. I reminded myself to make sure I nurtured my kids with love, respect and self-integrity in themselves. And, I have to practise it too in order for them to enforce it on themselves with dignity. We hope for the best, we try to be a good role model for their future...

I hope and pray, the coming days will be a better day than ever.
