Cahaya Kasih Feb 2007

Our department was given the honor to organize an activity for Maybank Cahaya Kasih program at Rumah Kanak2 Tengku Budriah in Cheras. The place is not very far from MIL's house.. so I excitedly gave my name as a volenteer for this program. I woke up early just like my usual work day but left the house earlier in order to be at the children's home by 8am. About 100+ maybankers volenteered for the program this week and alhamdulillah... everything went quite smoothly. There were lots of exciting activities on that day but I spent most of the time taking care of 2yearsold Farah Saujana. She is so cute and adorable but once I took her out from her babycot... I was not able to put her back in the cot as she would cry heartily that I felt pity and took her back. Have not been carrying babies for quite sometimes and after half day of carrying Farah here and there... I felt a slight pain on my right arm by noon. The only place I can let Farah go was at the Babies' play center... I also spent a few minutes taking care of other babies like Ali Mamak and a few others which I could not remember their names. But somehow, Farah had caught my heart most. By end of the day, someone else took over Farah from me (which was a relieve... coz I was dead tired by then.. and my arms were already in severe pain... haha no joke!). I helped the others clearing up the dining hall at end of the day... but by 5:30pm I was so tired that I excused myself and went back to MIL's house to have a nice rest. Izzaty was with me in the morning... but by noon, she was already dead bored.. so hubby came over and fetched her for a Kong Hee Fatt Choy party at Sara and Adam's Kong2 place.
Izzat has upgrade himself to level A in Kumon class! I am so proud of him!! :) Thank you again Allah for such a wonderful gift!! Hope Izzaty would be able to master level D and go to level E very soon. I am hoping (and praying) that she will get the GOLD level by end of this June... Aamin.

Back to work... BOOOORINGG! :(

CNY hols was so boring! The NKVE traffic was so bad that we did not dare to get out from Bukit Beruntung! :P
I'm back to the office today.... first day in the office after the hols and my immediate boss is already getting on my nerve! It's quite irritating to have a boss who does not trust you to do programming on our own... and want to 'amend' my program.. so that it would be like 'the way he wants it to be'. My previous boss was not like this... at least he trust me enough to do everything on my own... doesn't matter how I do it... as long as the output is as what he want. Eiii.. boringnya!!

Happy 2007!!

Wow... it's been ages since I last blogged!! :) The kids had a grrreeeaattt time in Tokyo Disneyland last holiday and they are now settling nicely in their new classes at school. Izzat is now in Best 6 blue in TEB... he can't wait to get into a 'real' school next year! But I'm a bitt worried as I am not sure he'll be 100% ready for 'real' school. Izzaty is adjusting nicely in her new class - 2 Cekal at SKBB. A few weeks ago, the school called parents for 'Cleaning & Decorating Classroom' project. Sadly only 5 parents came out for +-80 students of both classes (2 Cekal & 5 Cekal are sharing the same classroom). But the 5 parents managed to paint the class and clean it nicely. Thanks for both teachers - Cikgu Siti(s) - both teachers' name starts with Siti for their patient and cooperation during the project... not to forget other parents who came - Dr Anuar (Elina's dad), Eusoff's mom (sorry kak... can't remember your name), Adam's dad (did not get his name), one brother who was the only represented 5 Cekal's parents (can't remember his name or his daughter/son's name). We managed to make the class looks quite nice and comfy :)

Izzat is about 2 pages away from finishing Cahayaku English Paradigm program. Heard Afiqah's parents took away their daughter from that school... probably Afiqah would be joining her sister at IIS Kota Damansara... better school of course... wish I could send my kids there...

I am also having a hard time convincing Izzat to focus more on her Kumon worksheets. He got better nowadays.. but there are times when he really blew it and made me so frustrated. I can only doa more to Allah..... hope HE can give me more strength to train my kids to be a better muslim and muslimah... kids who loves ilmiah... loves reading and books.... and may they grow up to be excellent muslim & muslimah... Aamin.
