What an eventful weekend!! Went to Port Dickson for our family day on Saturday. We leaved Bkt Beruntung early in the morning and went straight to Farah's house in Gombak to fetch her... this is the first time ever I stepped on Farah's house... very nice!

On the way to PD we dropped by at Ipah's house in Seremban for lunch. Then Ipah joined us to go to Ron's place which is not far from Ipah's new house in Senawang. We had the chance to check out Ipah's new house before dropping by at Ron's place. Ron looked different... she has put on some weight... She looks gorgeous!! I guess it's been quite sometime since I last meet her... :)

Went to Port Dickson right after that. Izzaty was really excited about the telematch that she was going to participate. The telematch activities were held at the beach area at 5pm. It was really exciting at least for the kids... they had so much fun! Izzaty's team got the last place in the telematch... and so did my team.. haha! Dinner was not as exciting as expected but wasn't that bad at all. Everyone got their telematch presents and I won a toaster for lucky draw contest. Farah got a table fan.. and since she wanted the toaster... we changed our presents :)

We went home after breakfast the next day... sent Farah to her place and went straight to Along's house for a kenduri.

Started packing for the coming NZ trip at night.... 5 more days... yeehaa!! I really, really pray that we would have a great time in NZ!!! Please god... let everything goes on smoothly during this trip.... insyaALlah.

I watched the Explore Race final last night and was delighted to see the Malay couple Rina & Fariz won the RM100K cash award. Too bad Sanjay and his partner were eliminated as they were late upon reaching the Wet Land.. or else they would have given Fariz & Rina a tough fight and made the competition more interesting :)

Life is pretty hectic for the past few days. Lots of assignment at the office.. not to forget our responsibility to the kids. Hubby came back home late almost every night in order to make sure things would be in order when he's leaving for NZ.

I bought a Barbie watch for Izzaty the other day especially to teach her on timing herself while doing Kumon homework. Alhamdulillah, she's doing okay. She's still as playful as a normal child... especially when MiCu, my next door neighbour's youngest child is always following her around.
But right now, I'm more worried about Izzat. It's quite difficult to handle him as he just could not stand still for more than a few minutes... God please help me....

Okay.. now it's officially confirmed that the NZ trips in 'ON' as per our original plan.. yeehaaa!! Holiday mood has begun!! 11 more days to go...

Lotsa things to do... I was carrying Izzat at the Kumon center yesterday.. sending Izzaty to her usual Kumon class when Ms Jeya mentioned to me about doing timing while izzaty is doing her homework. I knew I haven't been doing that for the past few days... and I felt quite bad for not monitoring her class work... *sigh!*. I guess being a mom is really not an easy job...

I'm still blur with this coming NZ trip. Hubby has not talked to his boss yet and it really makes the rest of us restless. I haven't packed a thing... and we're going to PD for family day this coming weekend. Packing would have to be done at the last minute... ( so what's new? hehe ).

Hubby's granny is at our place. We had lunch at Kak Ina's place and granny followed us to Bukit Beruntung for a 'change of wind' at another grandson's home for a couple of days. I hope this will give Izzaty and Izzat a chance to get to know their great-grandma.. :)

The gate is still not functioning... the technician that came over to check our gate will have to submit quotation to MAB for approval before repairing the gate. Meantime... we have to be extra careful not to let Izzat wandering around again.

Hubby called yesterday morning asking if we could postponed the date of our NZ trip. I was like what??? He has some problems at the office causing delay in the project that they're doing... and that worries him as he doesn't feel good leaving things as it is. I was speechless knowing that Hubby is the 'key' person of this trip... the 'master mind' and without him the trips would not be the same... :(

As expected, Na called in the afternoon and we talked about it... we decided to go ahead with the original plan since flight tickets, accommodation and car-rental have all been arranged. We might have to pay extra charge if there were any changes in the booking... *sigh!*.

Aerobic class as usual... I felt a bit tired and dizzy in the beginning but felt much, much after towards the end of the exercises. Reached home at around 7:15pm. Hubby was already home. We talked about the trip again. He told me that he is yet to talk to his boss... if the boss gives him green light to take the leaves.. then he'd be joining us as per our original plan. Otherwise, we might have to go on the 24th without him... and he'll join us a few days later. Or.. another alternative is he'll join us as original plan but go home earlier than planned. Whatever it is... the trips won't be the same without him... :( I really hope his boss is kind enough to let him ago for just a few days...

Called Izzaty's principle and was told that her sport day will be on Sunday the 25th of April.. I'm so sorry girl... mama would have to miss the 1st sport day ever in your life.. *sob!*.

Pn Amy, Izzaty's school principle called to tell me that Izzaty was not well. Her cough was getting worse and she has a slight fever. I left the office early at 3:30pm to send Izzaty to doctor and dentist (another front teeth is coming out). She looked very week.... poor little girl! After seeing Dr Zabidi, Izzaty requested to eat roti canai and I dropped by at Semporna Restaurant to buy 3 roti canai.

Upon reaching home, Izzaty and I were enjoying the roti canai when I saw a glance of Izzat running away to Kak Yam's backyard. Yeap... I forgot to close the gate (auto gate is not functioning), the door apparently was open widely and he took the opportunity to wander around. Luckily he has not gone that far... phew!! That's my boy... getting 'cheekier' each day :)

Talk about the gate... I've managed to call the Mayban Assurance to ask about the Home Contents claim on the auto-gate failure. Looks like it is covered, MAB will assigned a technician to repair the gate for free... yeay!! :)

Izzaty insisted on going to school this morning. I can feel a slight temperature when I touched her neck.. but she has taken her medicines before going to school. Hope she'll be okay later.

Today is one of those 'rare' relaxing Monday :) I've finished most of the assignments given and found myself quite 'free' to wander around :) It's been raining on every evening for the past few weeks... but I hope it won't rain on the 3rd Saturday as most of the gang are going to PD for our family day. Hubby will be too busy to join us for this trip.. so I decided to bring the kids with Rika just for the fun of it :) Anyway, I haven't been joining ISD family day for the past few years... and the last family day that I've got the chance to joined was in 2000 at Riviera Beach Resort, Melaka. I'd be sharing an apartment with Farah and Tda's family. There'll be telematch, barbeque, bowling match, ect. Hope it would be fun :)

Last Friday night, we went to Kak Yam's place for our monthly 'majlis ilmu'. After the majlis, I accompanied Zaza home as she did not dare to walk alone in the dark. On the way to her place, 2 dogs followed us and Izzaty and Zaza began to run but I hold them and acted as if I was collecting some stones to throw at the dogs... the tricks worked as both dogs ran away - that's an old trick I used to use at our neighbours dogs in kampung :)
We went to Hubby's Pakcik Fandy's wedding in Bkt Bintang on Saturday. While we were enjoying their nasi minyak, it suddenly rained cats and dogs. We had no choice but to wait till the rain stopped before going home. Na came to our house in the evening. Izzaty got really excited when she was told that Danisyah is sleeping over at our place. They had so much fun playing and arguing. And it was really not easy to get both of them to go to bed... :)
Sunday was grocery shopping day. Went to Rawang's Bintang to buy weekly groceries and since Na was around we decided to buy some instant food, cookies and what-so-ever for our NZ trip. I've started thinking about what clothes to bring, what shoes to wear, ect.... hmmphh.. I just can't wait!! 3 more weeks to go... :)
