Izzat berpuasa this Ramadhan :)
Izzat can actually fast - I mean really fast like us!! :) I was quite impressed he can resist the 'susu' temptation :) But you should see how he eat during break-fasting!!! He can eat the whole plate of rice and later continue with one whole burger!! And the next morning for sahur... he actually ate another burger... can you imagine?? Hmmm... that's my little boy... my darling Izzat :)
Happy 10th anniversary!!
It's our 10th anniversary last 20th Sept!! Usually, we would plan to go somewhere to celebrate our anniversary but this year, since it falls in Ramadhan we had to postpone the trip to November (yes, we are going to Moscow, insyaAllah!). We do not want to go somewhere after breaking fast coz we would not want to miss our Terawih Prayer. We can have our special dinner anytime after Ramadhan.. but Terawih Prayer can only be done in Ramadhan. We wouldn't want to miss that one.
Since nothing special were planned, I thought I'd surprise hubby by leaving a love card in his notebook case.... :) But I got a bigger surprise when a nice bouquet of tulips was delivered to me - from darling hubby of course!! This is the FIRST time I've ever got a bouquet of flower after I got married and it felt greattt!!! *grin* :) Thanks hubby... I love you soooo much! :)
When I SMSed to thank him... he said, may be next year we'll be lucky enough to go to Amsterdam and visit Kuekenhof Tulips Garden..... COOLLL :)

Zamri leaving for New Castle
Last Saturday we had a gathering to break fast at my home.... Almost everybody came (except for Along & family and Na & family). It was really fun having everyone at my home.... there were lotsss of food!!! 3 cakes (happy birthday Mak and Aiman!!!).. and the most 'laku' one was my punch drink :) 
Today, Zamri left for New Castle.... quite sad to see him go *sob*. His gf Nana was there... (nice girl! I hope it's gonna be a happy ending between these two youngsters). I paid RM70 for ERL ticket to go to the airport from my office.... (coz I don't want to take EL). Between the bunch of us who were at the airport to send Zamry off... I guess Nana cried more... :) Hehe... young lovers! :) MIL looked sad... but she is one strong lady... (love you mom!). FIL looked cool... as always.
Raya this year is definately gonna be different as the youngest brother will not be around *sob*. My wish is... we can go and visit Zamri next spring.... Hubby wants to go Amsterdam to see the beautiful tulips in spring... he mentioned about bringing MIL along... but I really hope the kids can tagg along too..... it won't be much fun without them.... Hope we can make it for this trip!!!

Izzat belajar puasa
I just called home and bibik told me Izzat cried just now... probably hungry or thirsty. So bibik gave him a bottle of milk... and he promised to continue fasting after finishing his milk! Kids!! :D
Happy Ramadhan!!
It's 1st day of Ramadhan, and I am quite excited about it. Promised myself to be a better muslimah this holy month... insyaAllah. I could not join hubby and mom to the mosque for Terawih prayer as I need to monitor the kids... so that they are doing their homework and a bit of preparation for the coming final exam.
Today is also the 9th year anniversary of my dad 'meninggal dunia'. Tonight, insyaAllah I'll spend some time reciting Yaasin for him, InsyaAllah. Sometimes I wonder how my life would be if Ayah was still around... *sigh!*. But I know... Allah knows the best.... so I guess... life must go on. And we as anak soleh and solehah must dua for him.... semoga roh arwah di cucuri rahmat.... Aamin.
Both of my kids also start fasting today.... or least as at now, they are both still fasting :) I told Izzat to go to sleep if he feel tired or hungry... and he innocently told bibik "Izzat nak tidur je nanti" :) Hmm... kids... they are so adorable... wish I can have some more... but my other half said 2 is enough... hmm, ye ke???

Bangkok & Bandung Trip
Boy! It's been a long time since I last contribute anything in this blog!! So many things happened for the past few months. Hmm... where should I start first??
Hmmm...Where have I been for the past few month? That's an intersting topic! I went to Bangkok in June with Hubby and Zamri, my youngest bro in law. It was fun!! We had a great time shopping! I bought a few thai silk for myself and a few shirts for the kids.... I had a greattttt time in Bangkok and I especially love the Floating Market.
In August... on my b'day to be exact!!.... we went to Bandung.. the whole bunch of us - the kids, my mother, my mom in law and my maid also tagged along! :) That was another shopping spree trip!! We had a greaaaaaatttt time shopping!! BIG TIME!!! :) So now the kids have their baju raya and kasut raya ready!! All imported from Bandung :)
Rumah Mode - best place to shop! Variety of branded things to buy! The place where I spent most of my $$$ ;P
Shopping for Indonesian batiks and telekong at Pasar Baru. Boy.. another place where I spent a lot of $$$ :P
Lots and variety of kerepek sold at Pasar Baru
With kids at Tangkuban Perahu
Pak Chi Met Restaurant which is located in front of our hotel, Sukajadi Hotel. Sedap banget makanan nya! ;)
Education wise... the kids are doing quite well. In the mid year exam, Izzaty managed to maintain 1st position in class, whilst Izzat got 8th in class. Izzaty also managed to upgrade herself to be a GOLD student in Kumon whilst Izzat is now suprisingly doing quite well as SILVER student.
I had difficulties to decide wheater to register Izzat in Year 1 primary school next year. But finally, I decided to close all ears and determined to register him. I have also registered Izzat to do English in Kumon.
Last weekend, hubby and I went to Matta Fair.... and booked ourselves a package to Russia... wow, I still can't believe that I'm going to Russia this coming November! What am I going to wear?? It's bloody cold over there in November!!! Anyway, for now I think I'd like to focus on the kids first.... their final exams are approching... Ya Allah, please guide me... I really hope the kids would do well in this coming final exams.
