Hari Keusahawanan - SK Sri Kelana

Ever since the cuties change to the new school, they have not get the chance to visit their old school. I know they really missed their friends and wanted us to take them there. So, when they got the invitation to attend Hari Keusahawanan at their old school, they were practically begging us to take them there.

Hari Keusahawanan is similar to Hari Kantin back during my schooling days which was not very long ago (forever in denial that I am old). However, I felt their Hari Keusahawanan is much more happening than my Hari Kantin.

Here some of activities :

Golf for the fathers (and mothers at times)

Colouring contest for the kids

Haunted house for those with courage, and that is definitely not me!!!

And the best thing is NTV7 was also there. They did this casting for potential news readers. Not sure ler casting betul2 or just main2.

Kids nowadays are so advance that it's difficult to please them and get their interest.

At the end of the day, the cuties were happy and that is simply priceless to me.......

Breakfast before the science adventure!!

This were what we had before our science adventure outing, to celebrate my hero's birthday, his real birthday that is.

Char Kuey Teow - the best one in Kelana Jaya ever since I was in primary school

Yee Mee - My baby's favourite

Yong Tau Fu - fried version...

And mind you, this is only breakfast!!! But a much needed one once you see the kind of adventure we will be having with the cuties.

Ani Sup Utara - The Opening Ceremony

After attending the cuties Sports Day, we went back to my mom's house. The cuties took a shower and performed Zuhur prayer. Then, we went out to look for lunch.

We were informed during the Sports Day, there is a promotion going on at Ani Sup Utara latest outlet in Kelana Jaya. So, we thought to give that a try.

We were told the package of beehoon/mee/kueyteow soup with drinks(free refill) will only cost us RM2 per head. That's a good deal. Though, I wanted to have the rice with the soup. I've been to their branch is Shah Alam and love the sambal belacan. Memang kick!

We had a bowl each and the taste was excellent!. The ambiance of the place was nice and comfortable. The staff were friendly and courteous.

For this first visit, I will not do any review since there were only one choice of menu. And usually food outlet will have the best service during opening but the quality will usually decline after a while.

But, undeniably, it was a good lunch!

A delayed and advance birthday celebration

So many things going on in our life. So good, some bad, and that's how life should be.

With all this going on, sometimes things just could not happen as scheduled. Just like the celebration for my 2 little girls birthday.

We celebrated their birthday not on time. Baby's birthday was celebrated more than a week late and princess's birthday was a day early. We combined this 2 celebrations in one since it's only over a week apart.

We had the celebration back at my parent's place in Kelana Jaya. Just a simple celebration with take out food like sate, fried mee hoon and other delicious stuff. Iwan and family was there as well to join the fun.

My hero led the doa recital. He is really getting better at this.

We planned another big celebration later in May Insyallah to celebrate the cuties birthday(my hero's will be early June). It ala again depends on the "B". With "B", the event may be bigger.

Having dinner with family is simply priceless.......

Another birthday celebrations

Yup, spot on. Another birthday celebration. This time is Iwan's wifey birthday. Unfortunately I have to work late. So, did not get the chance to prepare for anything. Lagipum suaminyer ada kan...suaminyer lah kena sibuk prepare, tak gitu Iwan?

My parents cooked spagetti, the improvised version that is. The spicy and malay version. Nice, sedap mami dgn abah masak.

And Iwan bought the cake. American Chocolate that is. But the cuties were the excited ones mengalahkan the birthday girl. And if I forgot to mention to you all, I don't like chocolate and I don't eat chocolate tapi gemuk gak kan?

Next birthday to be celebrated...my better half...nak gi mana yer...

My dad's birthday

My apology for not being able to do entries more frequently. The internet service has been very bad and I gave up being on line and trying to do more auto published entries. Hence, just managed to do one before I leave for work. I am also still actively working on the new 2 blogs that I mentioned earlier.

Well, how was was my dad's birthday. It was quite ok. Since my mom is not well, we decided not to eat out, just a quiet ta-pau dinner. I bought sate, mee hoon goreng, roti nan with tandoori and of course a birthday, which was chosen by my hero. That explains the Robin picture on the cake.

The cuties were excited to have this celebration. They helped to set the table and in making sure things are done smoothly. After performing maghrib prayers, we gather at the dining area for doa recital and makan time!

My hero recited the doa makan while Iwan did the long doa selamat part. I hope one day, my hero would be able to resume his Pak Usu's position and recite the doa instead.

Kesian Anis. Drooling over the food served. Sabar yer sayang, when you are old enough, you will joining us at the dining table.

And here my hero handing in the birthday card signed by all 3 of them for his Atok. My dad keep on teasing him saying this must be a blank cheque where he can write whatever figure he wants...

What did I get my dad? That will be in the next entry. TUNGGU!!!!

Pagi Raya@KJ

This Raya is very special and different to us. Our first Raya at our new home. After this incident, I truly believe there's a hikmah behind this and Allah is just testing us. Hence, our patience are being paid off with this new house, alhamdulilah. But, we have to be reminded, Allah tests us in 2 ways, one way with kesusahan which are pretty obvious and in most circumstances, people will pray to him during this hard time. Another way is one way that we sometimes neglect, i.e. via kesenangan. Usually, the kesenangan is the part where we forgot, Allah is also testing us to see whether we will neglect Him once we have this kesenangan, and then He will tests us with the kesusahan again by taking all of the kesenangan away...so, be mindful ok....

My baby is the most excited one this Raya, for the first time she managed to puasa penuh!! Alhamdulilah!!!

Anyway, we woke up early at pagi Raya, since nak balik kg ler katakan...and where is the kampung?? About 30 minutes away from BSP in Kelana Jaya...hahahaha...kampung ke?

When we arrived, we went straight to the mosque to perform Solat Sunat Raya and then had some breakfast with the family at mom's house. The bermaafan session is the most crucial part of the pagi Raya. We are trying to teach the cuties the important of doing this part of Raya and I think they finally understood the significance.

Next, we are going to the first Open House for this Raya....A special one indeed....

Takbir Raya

It's a tradition at where my parents live to have this Takbir from one house to another during Raya eve. We will be attending this should Raya is celebrated at KJ. Kalau balik Batu Pahat, there is another tradition there.

Which reminds me to write something and pls be reminded this is entirely my personal opinion.

I am so thankful my better half and I have never fought about where to spend our first raya. We have been practising this giliran thingy and Alhamdulilah, over the nearly 12 years of marriage, there is no dispute what so ever.

I have heard some horror stories about couples not willing to compromise. I too would prefer to spend every Raya at my parents house but I always have reminded myself, I too have children and this goes back to what you give you get back concept. Satu hari nanti, kalau akak nie kejam, Allah balas, and none of my children will come home for Raya cause their spouses not willing to compromise, bercucuran ler air mata di pagi raya...Renung2 kan dan Selamat beramal...

Back to the Takbir thingy, our house turn only came around 11.30am. Dah mengantuk tau but for the sake of Raya spirit, we still enthusiatically participated with the Takbir.

I had made a video recording but due to the internet yang lembab ya amat, will try to upload this later...
