Our first 'CS' guest & Izzaty's first TKD tournament

Last Friday I had 2 passengers in my car during my journey from office back home... my youngest bro-in-law, Zamri and our special guest for the weekend - Yi (remember I told you guys about him during our visit to Kak Elma's house last weekend - click here ). So Yi was our first 'CS' guest :) The plan was.. hubby was to send my mother in law (and bro in law & Yi tagging along) back to Malacca on Saturday morning... and later fetch bibik from LCCT who would be coming back from Indon!. But I guess... as a humble human being.. we could only plan... and Allah would decide the rest... Yi was not feeling well.... (he told me that he had not been well for a few days before coming to our house... and had checked the H1N1 status on the day before at Hospital Besar, KL... negative.. alhamdulillah!). He looked so terrible on Saturday morning.. that hubby decided to postpone the Malacca trip.... aiyaaa!!! Major change of plan... he had to send Yi to hospital besar on Saturday morning... and after 4 hours of hospitalization (to check if it was dengue... fortunately negative!) had to fetch him again all the way in KL from our home (FYI it's about 40++ km!). We let him rest in Bibik's room since Bibik was not around. Yi could not even eat anything..... poor little boy! So I had to prepare porridge for him. MIL prepared delicious crab soup for all of us on Saturday night! Woo hoo!!! :)

On Sunday morning... he looked and felt much, much better... alhamdulillah! So he decided to follow hubby and the gang to Malacca afterall! :) Yi was quite an interesting fellow. Like I told you guys in the previous posting... he is majoring in Arabic language.... how cool is that? :) He can even recite Al Fatihah which he did upon my request... and made both my mom and mother in law (and all of us!!) impressed! Quite cute! I should have recorded him doing it!! Rugi.. rugi!! :)

Yi looking good on Friday night... but looking terrible on Saturday morning.. :(

Got better on Sunday morning... so off to Melaka they went!

Also on Sunday morning was Izzaty's first taekwando tournament! When she told me that she wanted to join the tournament... I was a bit agitated... coz I wasn't sure she would be tough enough to endure the pain during the sparring competition! But she insisted to join the tournament! So okay... I told her to be prepared of anything that would happened! After all, this would her first tournament ever.... it would probably good for her life experience! :) It was actually a 'Sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan 1 Malaysia - kali ke 52" celebration for our area! So lots of commotion going on at that area when I sent Izzaty to that place! This competition was also joined by other taekwando centers from Kepong, Bandar Baru Selayang, Kuala Kubu and Subang Jaya.

Waiting nervously for the tournament to start (see her nervous face?)

Warming up!

Listening to Sir Nordin's instruction right before the tournament.

Still nervous... getting ready with a friend, Yaya.

And the pattern competition begins... :)

In action!! Depan tu budak dari Selayang nama Maya.

I had to leave early... coz since hubby went back to Malacca.. the responsibility of fetching bibik from LCCT was now mine :P Somehow, I managed to see Izzaty in action during the pattern competition. So proud to see her doing her best in this competition. Sungguh bersemangat! Way to go girl!!! :) Kebetulan.. I was standing right behind one of the judges.. and managed to 'jenguk' the points for all the participants.... Izzaty punya points quite high... alhamdulillah! But that's only one of the them.. ada 2 judges kalau tak silap... hehe. Kepochee punya mama! hehee...:) I did not get the chance to stay to know the final result coz I really need to rush to LCCT by 11pm (it was already 10.50am!) And I told Izzaty to stay there with Sir Nordin's team until I came back from LCCT cause nobody's at home till then!! So bergegas2 la getting ready to go to LCCT.... !!! Dah lambat max by then!!! :P

On my way to LCCT, Izzaty SMSed me to inform that she got gold medal in the pattern competition... woo hoo!!! Good job girl!!! :)

And about a few minutes later, I received a call from Zaza (Sir Nordin's wifey) :

Zaza : You kat mana now?

Me : On the way to LCCT. Why? Izzaty dah habis ke??

Zaza : Dia baru je habis sparring. Dasyat lah dia... ganas giler!! *gelak-gelak!* Sampai nangis dia keja kan budak tu!! *gelak lagi*

Me : Really?? Ganas sangat ke? Nangis budak tu? Biar betul!!!(^*(#%!!

Zaza : Tu laa... dia menang first round lah... nanti ada next round...

Me : Alaa.. rugi la tak dapat tenguk... you ambil la gambar banyak2 Zaza!!......


Hmphh.... Ganas?? Somehow it wasn't a surprise lah... I always knew that Izzaty is a bit ganas for a girl! Tenguk mama dia lah! LOL!! :D Tapi sampai nangis budak tu?? Tsk tsk... no comment lah... heroin kampung betul anak ku ini!! :D

A few minutes later (still on my way to LCCT) Izzaty called me excitedly to tell that she won silver medal in the sparring competition. She lost to her own friend, Yaya (see above picture). Whoaaaa..... Not bad lah!! We did not expect that, eh girl? I remembered telling her that morning not to expect anything but just to gain experience in her very first TKD tournament... but 2 medals?? wow... you made me so proud lah!!! hehe.... memang heroin kampungku!! :) I got so excited that I immediately called hubby who was already in Malacca... "You tau.... Anak you menang 2 medal kat tournament tadi??"... and as expected... ayah pun terkezut!! Sungguh tak sangka!! hehee.... :)

We finally reached LCCT right on time (alhamdulillah). Waited just for a few minutes for bibik to came out from the arrival hall... then rushed (speeding sket lah sebab nak cepat!) back home to fetch Izzaty. It was raining cats and dogs... really2 lebat on our way home... lagi lah I risaukan Izzaty kat tempat tu! When I reached that place... the tournament was still going on. Sempat la tenguk Sir Nordin's first son, Hafizudin beraksi dalam sparring. Wow... he's really good... I mean, really, really GOOD!!! :) His side kick sangat2 tinggi dan cantik!! Bapa borek anak rintik nih!! :) Congratulations to Sir Nordin (and wifey Zaza!)... bukan saja anak dia menang... tapi ramai anak2 didiknya yang menang dapat medal in today's competition!! (termasuklah Izzaty!).

Izzaty yang basah kuyup kena hujan... in her SMARTS shirt and the 2 medals she won today! :)

Izzaty's first 2 TKD medals... congratulations girl... well done! :)

It was a good day indeed... tapi sangat2 penat... *sigh!*.

The kids got monthly exam tomorrow (Sekolah Kebangsaan and KAFA).... aduhai... cukup kah preparation? Tawakal aje lah... insyaAllah boleh.... Aamin...
