What Happened?

 Last Friday, akak came back, together with her Tganu friend, Emma and the whole day was spent at The Store, SP. first we bought handbags n stuff, then we went bowling. Adui, they forced me to play...well i didn't do bad at all. Tapi pas tu sakit belakang.....nasib dah tua masih nak pulun main. saja want to entertain children.

 Saturday, i took my children for kenduri at cousin's house. Let them meet relatives, if not sentuh bahu pun tak kenai kan. See licin dua beradik ni sapu....i purposely did not prepare lunch to make them starve.....

 Sunday morning 4.00 am, abah and i were already at Shahab perdana bus station, waiting for my ex-student who brought her brother who was registering at KMK. at 4.30 they arrived and i took them to my house. 7am, we left and the life of a college student began for that boy. The sister left at noon after making sure the brother was ok....kesian anak2 tak beribu......

 The same day, 27th may, the place was abuzz with new intake and their parents. this session, a whooping 2500 students registered and the school holiday contributed to the flocking of people here. Alhamdulillah, all went well..see on the right, Hj Jahaya and En. Azman making their rounds.....

First time, i was assigned at Block A ( boys block), and my task ( Norain beside me) was to accept the registration slip and gave them the inventory form....letih mulut, repeating the same instruction...kalau tulih kat whiteboard kan senang. Anyway, we enjoyed meeting students.....muka masih toya tapi tunggu la pas ni, depa pandai lah........
Now, we are handling mentor-mentee program ....same boring module,but creative we are so we will make this interesting.....insyaallah the new students will be happy here....welcome to KMK.......

Dari Buku Turun ke Hati

 Subhanallah, with the knowledge that Allah always offers us, this time umi would like to sincerely promote books..the door to everlasting, ever fulfilling, ever important mean of knowledge. Well, this book was bought about a year ago, yet umi is still slowly but steadily reading it, because to complete understanding the whole 100 ways of motivating oneself is not easy. There are so many truthful, practical and stimulating encouraging ways that we can practise, and that is what umi is painstakingly trying to accomplish..... let me quote just one sentence: The value of self-esteem lies not merely in the fact that it allows us to feel better,but that it allows us to live better- to respond to challenges and opportunities more resourcefully and appropriately.  Dr. Branden.  Try reading this book and you will understand what i am trying to tell you.

 Now, this is an A book.....until now, i am crawling slowly, trying to digest and practise what is written by this author....being a mother myself, i learn that it is not easy to be a mother, especially knowing that whatever i do, i say, i pray will be the base, the body, the initial process of bringing up soleh and solehah children. My! how scared i feel when i realize that, a mother's word is very vital in this life.  So, insyaallah everytime i cook or prepare food, i will always pray so that my children will only eat the food that is cooked by a sincere, loving and caring mother. And as a daughter myself, i am very scared learning that my mom's prayers will guide my life, and if i ever makes her sad, i will be receiving the wrath of Allah, as her prayers will lead me to heaven or hell. Ya Allah.....takutnya....i admit that i often argue with my mom..especially when she is now very depressed, very lonely and sickly, so she only needs the best and the best is not hers, yet. i always pray that whatever she does not get now, will be hers in the hereafter, insyallah......baca weh buku ni.

 Nauzubillah, Allah forbids me and my family from this.....may Allah let us go through this titian smoothly, without any untoward challenges....oh ..its too difficult to get, but after reading this, i will make sure, we are not among those who will fall from this......please answer my prayers, Ya Allah........

This magazine was introduced by Ustazah Nashitah, jazakilah, because this reading is very up-to-date with the latest issues and very close to heart...it makes us feel so left behind, so tak pandai, so jahil in leading our life...the articles really open my mind to do more sincere, critical thinking, to question myself, my deeds, my feeling and whatever single thing that i commit in my life.........thus, my heart, my soul is guided by Allah.

Dari Tangan Turun ke Tanah

 Alamak, teruknya gambar ni. Apa cerita lak umi nak buat ni? ha kalau nak tau, umi rasa amat sedih sebab cuti 3  minggu dah nak habis, ahad depan umi kena keja dah..waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....so gersang tanah ni sepertinya gersangnya hati umi....ish tak leh jadi, sebelum umi sibuk dgn urusan mengajar, baik umi buat sesuatu yg best dulu....apa laggi...mai kita tengok.

 Ha, umi dah kerosek tayar lama yg  dok tepi rumah dan dah diisi dgn top soil dan tanam gambut. Takkan tak tau nak buat apa, ini namanya recycling process.....takkan nak boh kat kereta lagi kan.

 Tada......umi dah tanam 4 batang pokok ros, merah belang dan kuning. yg tepi tu cam biasala, bunga yang banyak melata di tanah  yg umi pangge bluebell. nama scientificnya payah sangat.....( amacam Shitah?)

 baru 3 hari umi tanam, tetiba, dah keluar kelopak bunga yg sangat harum dan cantik, adui bahagianya....memang serasila tempat ni, lagipun dekat dgn pancur air, so sejuk all the time. Tunggu la bila umi pi kerja nanti, bila balik mesti banyak dah berkembang....adui......bestnya.....

 selain tu, umi clear jugala kawasan tepi rumah ni....nampak semak sikit tapi pokok yg ada semuanya berguna tau.

 ha, kesidang ni, atau pokok kerak nasi, dah berbunga lama dah. pokok ni sebenarnya dihadiahkan oleh seorang kawan masa hari jadi umi dulu...dlm tahun 2004 gitu. Tok marah tanam kat tepi rumah, baik tanam tepi pagar, umi tau sebab dia tapi tak pa, tak berapa subur sangat.....janji bunga ada

 atas sikit, umi tempatkan pokok bunga kertas. galak jugala berbunga bila ubah kat sini, dulu asyik mabuk daun saja, sampai umi give up, but now, bila dok siram air ikan dan air basuh beras, ok la......

Sebab 3 pokok ni la yg umi dok teragak2 nak tambah rumah ke tidak. nampak pokok jambu batu, belimbing madu dan jambu air dah galak hidup, so agaknya lambat lagi la nak tambah rumah.....kalau tidak,kena tebang, adui tak gamak pulak. bagila kita rasa hasil dulu kan.....umi tak dak tanah nak tanam durian, so setakat ini jadilah ye....ai jangan tak tau( memang tak nampak), kat bawah tu umi dah boh anak pokok cabai besar......nanti kkwan leh makan ye....
Setakat ni la saja yg dapat umi tunjukkan. saja suka2 bagi hati gumbira sebelum kena tinggalkan bila umi pi kerja.....harap2 Atih jgnla mengabaikan mereka, kan dia dah dibayar.......

Trendy Gift for Mom

 Happy Mothers Day to all dedicated,loving and caring mothers. So i dedicate this photo of a chocolate cake,plus strawberry topping to all very deserving moms, praying that we will  continue to play our roles in bringing up super children who will be blessed and guided to the right path, insyaallah.

 Hehe....for days i have been eyeing this cute 10 inch portable DVD player. i know what i want to do with this cute gadget...normally i have to kidnap others laptop if i want to watch cd, but from now on, no more. i will bring it wherever i go, since it comes with radio and tv....so children, especially Bob, tengok aje tau.

 Abah was still thinking...haiya...banyak keluar duit kat umi hari ni....ala sekali sekala saja kan bah......pizza tu abah amik semua na......but u have to pay first.......actually abah was quite sad because not all children could join this celebration.

 Alin, as usual, with her senget tudung, savoured mushroom soup, garlic bread and tempura.....ayish did not go as he wanted to be with his mak.....adui anak ni......

 At least Eman was beside me. thats why we celebrated yesterday as he was still around. he looks so skinny, i am worried about him, he is disturbed with his mid term exam...dia  leh balik sebab ada kes histeria di sekolah.....tension la tu.

 ha? another present....no problem....what is inside?a lovely clock...i know to remind me that time is gold, so dont spend too much blogging, fb-ing, watching cd......

Well, even though Atih n Eman and Alin bought this, it also a joint venture with Along, Akak, Bob , Adik and Ayish, right. It is not the gift that matters, but the thought of the giver. Actually, the best present ever, is having all 8 of you plus being a good wife to Mr Sham....all of you certainly brighten up my days......love  and hugs from ummi to all......

Impian Terlaksana Jua

 Syukur finally umi managed to persuade abah to take our family to this favourite fishing place. Pendang Lake Resort welcomed us at about 4pm. Deluxe room for rm116. Hobby started after Asar...bait? well Gardenia and shrimp.....

 Ayish was suddenly a popular small guy among these girls from UITM Perlis who came for a course. This place is never short of visitors. they also tried their luck but got none.....

 At night, we had dinner at this Medan Selera Pendang, an eatery abuzz with customers and mosquitoes...

Alin caught a big fish (ikan kayu) after playing with her bait for some time. I could not really concentrate fishing as i was busy putting the bait for both of them. now dont you admire this serene shot of the lake during dusk? This is another reason why i like this place. the scenery never fails to capture my attention. it's just awesome...see the rope jutting from the tree...a very meaningful focal point, right?

 We left the lake at noon on Saturday and stopped at Souq AlBukhori to offer our support to eman ( 2nd from left) who took part in nasyid  anjuran Ubat Gigi Mukmin. their performance was really capturing harmoniously. Even the judge A.Ali also praised them.....but finally, Sek Men Sultanah Bahiyah won this competition, leaving this group to the second place. Congratulations.

After 6 hours being here, umi just had no desire to do any shopping, the waiting was tiring enough but for Eman, we will do anything to support his interest in this activity. At 6.30, we finally arrived home. What a weekend......wait till next week, i believe we have something more interesting to share........salam.
