Syafahallah cousin Fadhi

When I was small, besides my sis Na, I have a few close friends (and cousins) that used to be my partner-in-crime in whatever I do 😄

We played together, berkejar sana sini together, pergi beraya from one house to another together (kutip duit raya la apa lagi haha). Even pergi berGongXiFaChai mengumpul angpow together haha.

And among those who were in that group were my long diatance cousins, Shida and her sis, Fadhi.  Both Shida and Fadhi were very close to me and my sis Na as we basically grew up together in Kg Gontam, Kolo Pilah. Shida the eldest is my age and Fadhi is Na's age. Memang rapat la kan...



When Shida informed me that Fadhi was diagnosed with breast cancer and now the cancer has spread to lungs and liver, I was devastated. Could not stop my tears 😭

When I informed my sisters about the news, the 3 of us - Along, Na and yours truly decided to visit the patient. 

Road trip to Seremban with my lovely sisters. 

Fadhi is currently staying at her bro's house in Seremban which made it easier for us to visit. Her family and home is actually in Sg Petani but she came back to stay with her family during this difficult time in order to hide her condition from her kids... Sedih kan? 😭😭

Fadhi in blue tudung can still smile despite her condition. You are such a strong lady cousin! Stay positive and be strong okay! 💪🏻
You will always be in our prayer, insyaAllah.


Cik Kiahs berwefie dgn Shida (most left) before leaving the patient to rest.

To Fadhi, syafakillah to you my cousin. May Allah give you strength during this difficult time. 
We love you and our prayers will always be with you 💝

Gulai Omak Den 😋

Had a busy day today. Kids were going back to asrama and as usual mama is ever ready on duty 🙄 ( Ayah had to attend a neighbourhood meeting today).

Left home by 9.30am and reached Hentian Duta by 10.15am. The original plan was to eat breakfast together while waiting for Izzat's bus (his bus to Parit Buntar is at 10.30) but unfortunately we could not find a parking space... OMG there were lotssss of people - cars, busses everywhere! So yeah, change of plan. Izzat said 'it's okay ma... Just drop me here. Pandai2 la Izzat cari makan nanti'. Aww... my baby boy sounded so mature... Huhu 🤗

Anyway, after dropping Izzat. I desperately need to find something to eat. Super hungry as our breakfast plan was cancelled 😕

I actually had nasi lemak Tanglin in mind - it wasn't far from Hentian Duta.. But again plan was cancelled immediately after I saw how looong the queue was at the nasi lemak tanglin shop. After pusing2 a few times at the Bukit Aman area, we ended up eating at a small kiosk under Restaurant Rebung... (nope, it's not THE Rebung restaurant- it's not opened yet 😬) Just a tiny kiosk below the parking bertingkat.. Beli mee je... Nak alas perut jer... Because I have bigger plan for lunch haha.

After breakfast, singgah sebentar at Mitsui Outlet Park on our  way to Bandar Enstek. Bought perfume jer... Nothing fancy pun ... Just CH 212 VIP Rose. It's not important anyway cause what I wanna share today is actually a new place to hang out in Bandar Enstek for makan2... My so-called big plan for lunch 😄

Gulai Omak Den Restaurant.
I've heard about this small kampung restaurant and that served authentic Nogoghi Sembilan food from Asterix mommies - ie Kak Iza, Yaya and the others. 
Been planning to go and checkout tapi tak berkesempatan. So today, dari awal pagi dah plan and told Izzaty 'today we eat lunch at Gulai Omak Den!' She was like 'what??' Amende tu??' Lol 😂

So, tadi dengan semangatnya I drove to this place. It's located just near the traffic light juction near TKC. And what dya know... Parking jer kereta, I saw my good friend, also and Asterix mom, Ila, parking her car at the restaurant 😄
Sharing a table with Ila and her daughter, Atikah 💝

These are what I ate...
 
Ikan keli masak lomak!
Oh my, nampak jer lauk ni dlm menu... Yours truly and Izzaty dah salivating 😋😋
#peminatikankeli #likemotherlikedaughter

Sirap bandung for ila. Watermelon juice for yours truly. Asam kedondong juices for the girls. 

After lunch, we went straight to TKC's Surau AnNur for zuhur prayer.
Sempat posing at this banner which was hang in front of the dining hall. 
His banner was designed by Izzaty's batchmate who has the same name as hers but end with an 'i' - Izzati Rosli - one of the most creative girls among the Asterix. Such a talented girl!
Forced Izzaty to snap this pic for me and she said 'Ma... You are embarrassing me...'. Duh! 🙄

Hmm... Now that both kiddos are back to their asrama... Bermula la semula emptiness syndrome in this heart of mine 😔

Semoga anak2 dibawah lindunganNya. And may they are able to give 100% focus on their PT3/SPM exam preparation... 
Good luck my babies.
Mama's prayers and love will always be with you 💝

 Sempat senyum anakanda saya ni 😅😍

And in FB, a parent posted these pic 
 

Today, chemistry paper in progress.

Mama hanya mampu berdoa dari jauh.
All the best my babies...
My prayer for both of you always 💝
Moga dipermudahkan....

Her last competition with TKWO

Exactly a month ago, I attended SBP Wind Orchestra Competition which was held in Dectar, UKM. 
Weeks before flying to Japan, yours truly and a few other TKWO booster parents were busy making sure our girls had everything for this competition. Had to tambah some more jubah (we discussed about making new blouse for the girls but due to lack of funding, we decided to stick to the old jubah instead. Just tambah and repair whatever needed). So trip to jackel and all was done by Ha and yours truly and later our usual tailor had to bertungkus lumus siapkan baju2 tu within less than 2 weeks 😬😬
About a few days before the competition, arrangment on food and all was set. Alhamdulillah, ada parents yg bermurah hati sponsored lunch, cream puffs and all... Murah rezeki anak2 ni. 
Dengan kerjasama semua,  alhamdulillah, semuanya dipermudahkan. 

So on 4th of August, I took annual leaves again (after coming back from Japan), especially to support our TKWO girls!! My girl and the Asterix girls would be performing for TKWO for the last time... And this is probably my last contributions as TKWO booster parents committee.
 Sayu la pulak 😢

Left Bkt Beruntung after Subuh and reached UKM so early in thr morning haha! Nak avoid jam punya pasal 😅 Anyway, TKC bus was late that morning and I had to handle the lorry that reached earlier to deliver the girls' instruments. (We had difficulties finding a lorry at a very last minute... Thanks to Kak Huda... Our superwoman who managed to get one and arranged everything last night! (Yes, that last minute!!) Our supermom Kak Huda can never say NO to our Asterix girls ... And Asterix mommies mmg awesome!! 😍❤️)

A few busses had already arrived but TKC bus is nowhere to be seen 😁
Lambat katanya!
 

The lorry was here first. So yours truly and a few other moms helped monitoring the instruments.
 

Our bus was finally here a few mins later! 
 
Our conductress got injured during one of her ice-skating practices and got her leg casted. But life goes on... She had practiced hard for this competition and would still be conducting TKWO. Love your spirit Nathra!!! 💝

Transporting the instruments to the hall... Pls be careful with the instruments girls... Those things are not cheap! And we got them the hard way! 😬

 Mommies with our charming TKWO instructor, Raja Muzaffar. I thought this pic is so cute... With Raja terselet celah2 makcik2 Lol! 😂


Sarah Aishah, TKWO band president giving instructions to her girls. 
 

Make-up time! Mommies yg dipaksa menjadi bidan terjun sebagai mak andam of the day 😂
 
 
I just ❤️ this pic...
Yours truly and Hanna, Dr Liz's little girl 😍
This is Hanna's first competition for TKWO. 


Excited faces of my girl and Wani.

One with ma girl 😍😍

One pic with ma girl before her performance...
  

The girls berdoa before the performance 
 

Walking to  stage... All the best girls!
 

And here they were... On the stage..
  
 
It was't their best performance but they did great!!
Their version of 'The Star of Dream' was beautifully played! And their 'Merong Mahawangsa' is simply beautiful! They made all of us sooo proud with this performance ❤️

And most of all, I felt so proud with our conductress, Nathra who  managed to stand the whole performance despite her condition...
Super proud moment - I feel like crying when I see Nathra's face. She was obviously tired and in pain but demi semangat juang Kurshiah, she stand tall and fight! 

Group photo right after the performance...
 

Sempat posing...
 
With Yaz, mom to Qis (Asterix mom of course 😍)

 
With TKC8387 batchmates - Lady Has and Sakinah.
Sakinah is a lecturer for Permata Pintar in UKM.

Muka lega lepas habis performance. 
 
Nathra said she was soooo tired that her hand was shaking. I asked her to put her injured leg on the bench - kasi gantung sket...

 
Zaty and Wani 'suapkan' Nathra as she was too tired and her hand was too shaky to hold the spoon and food... So sweet  😍
This will be a good memory for them one day when they left TKC 💝

The ever happy Asterix girls 
 

Waiting for the result... Berdebar2 masing2..

Mommies pun berdebar2 tunggu result 😅 
 
 

And they didn't make it to the final 😔
The schools that went to the final were 
SDAR
SAS
SM Sains Machang
SM Sains Selangor
MCKK
(And the final result is as per above ranking)

The girls cried... 
 
It broke our hearts to see them cry... 
But hey, we are Kurshiah girls! You did great and we are super proud of you! You have gone through a lot before you reached this level! You have tried your very best and managed to bring back the glory of TKWO. Well, we didn't make it to the final... But I am sure TKWO will continue this journey and reach to the top one day 💪🏻💪🏻

Luckily, we decided to order pizza before the result was out. The pizza was for the girls to celebrate if they make it to the final and if not (which is the case now 😜), to pujuk them 😅
The looked better now... After having the pizza, alhamdulillah 😍
Our Miss TKWO president, Sarah cried a bit. Snapped this pic and shared it with her mom, Dr Fatimah who could not make it to see her kids beraksi (her son is in MCKK WO). Let Sarah used my phone to talk to her mom to make her feel better. She was upset for not making it to the final whilst her brother did 😬

One pic with En Rejab (TKWO previous instructor), Raja Muz (TKWO current instructor) and Alfa (SAS WO instructor).

Towards end of the day, I am so glad to see these Asterix girls sniling again... Dah tak sedih dah... Let's move on okay! 😍
Now you can start focusing on your SPM SBP trial exam which was justtttt a few weeks away 😬

A few days later, i read these in intaagram... 

 

 
 
Mata mak masuk habuk lagi 😭😭
Well, it's a wrap. 
Asterix girls are saying goodbye to TKWO. 
Yours truly is also saying goodbye to TKWO parents booster committees. 
It has been a pleasure working with all of you as we navigated both the good tines and the more challenging times 😅
Am definitely gonna miss all of you 😭
But will definitely continue supporting TKWO 💪🏻
