Counting days to our tour to EGYPT

This weekend.... hubby and I are off to Egypt.. yeay!! This is our 10th anniversary trip! We'll also be celebrating hubby's b'day in Egypt. The bad news is.... the kids won't be joining us... so I'm gonna miss them terribly :( But I guess it's nice to have a break away from the kids once in a while.
I'll be meeting an old class-mate in Cairo. Nolong and her family have just moved to Egypt and in the process of settling down. Hope we'll be able to meet... since our tour schedule is quite tight...

P/S What happened to our Moscow trip? Err... the agent called said the trip had to be cancelled due to 'tak cukup korum'! :) Never mind... Egypt was my 1st choice anyway! :) Moscow was hubby's first choice... dia la yg frust.. hehe.

Tisya and Maira's party

Izzat was invited to Tisya and Maira's birthday party at Bukit Beruntung Golf Club's pool area today. So I sent both my kids to the party and stayed to see how they behave during the party. Somehow, and old friend, Lily was also there (apparently, Tisya and Maira's aunty is Lily's best friend!). So we had a long chat and talked about old times and old friends.... (she used to work with Nik.. and did not even know that Nik was our IRC's old friend 'Boje'! *LOL!* What a small world!! She lost contact with Ron and did not know that Ron's is performing Hajj this year!) The kids had great fun! Partying, playing, getting presents and party packs, swimming, ect... The party's song theme was the High School Musical's 'WHAT TIME IS IT? IT'S SUMMER TIME'. In our case... 'IT'S SCHOOL HOLIDAY TIME! :)

Izzaty's penyampaian hadiah 2007

What an eventful week! Hubby went to Japan from Saturday and just came back yesterday evening. I was left to attend Izzaty's Hari Penyampai Hadiah for both KAFA (on Tuesday night) and SKBB (Wednesday morning). She got 3rd place in the whole Year 2 classes in both KAFA and SKBB. Syameel (Dr Aniza and Sham's son) got 1st in KAFA and 3rd in SKBB. I also saw some familiar names in the school booklet... they did very well in the final! Good for them! I also just found out that my neighbour.. who is also an x-umkcian is the PIBG president at the KAFA. And his son won some of the awards at both schools.
As for Izzat, he got 7th in his class. But I've checked all his papers... and surprisingly he did quite well! He got 100% in English, BM and Science, 96% in both Jawi and Maths (careless mistakes! sheesh!). I thought that was good... considering he's just 5 yrs old and the rest are all 6.
The school session of 2007 ends today... and I still have not think of any school holiday program for the kids... *sigh!*. They did quite well in the final.... they deserve a nice break!

Izzat's TEB Graduation

Yesterday was quite an event! Izzaty got her sekolah kebangsaan report card and ended up 3rd place in class... I was a bit upset with the result... but I guess we have ups and downs in our life... afterall she's still a kids.... can't preasure her too much! She was also upset... but only for a while... (haha.. typical of her!).

MIL and FIL came to our place on Friday night... the same day of Izzat's graduation / concert. It was fun watching the kids in action. He was selected to do storytelling... quite impressive I guess... considering how shy and anti-social he is in person :) Izzat looked so cute in his graduation gown... very handsome indeed :) He got 7th place in class (he got 8th in last sem exam.. so I guess ada improvement laaa.... a bit! hehe...). I pray that both my kids will be anak2 yg beriman... and soleh/solehah. Thank you Allah.... for such giving me wonderful children.. :)

Izzaty's first ASHR ceremony at Berjaya Times Square

"Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand. And what you've been out there searching for forever is in your hands. And when you figure out love is all that matters after all, it sure makes everything else seems so small" - Carrie Underwood.

I found this song very touching... the lyrics are so meaningful.

Went to Izzaty's Kumon ASHR Ceremony on Sunday 28th Oct at Berjaya Times Square. Alhamdulillah... I am so proud of her... and thankful to Allah... for every single thing that we've been blessed with. Ms Jaya said if Izzat maintained his performance.... he'll be eligible to attend the ASHR ceremony next year. I sure hope he'll do well..... Aamin.
