Oh... how time flew..... school break 13-21 Mac 09

Bismillahirrahmanirraheem

Today's the last day of the school break - rasa sunyi pulak... always have this feeling when the children leave the nest, never failed... huhu

The week passed by so fast, felt like it was only yesterday we picked the boys up in Greenwood. That was last Friday, March 13th

Saturday morning Zharif had his first ever camping - at Amal Hidayah's tadika compound! sounds like it was great fun! Was a bit reluctant to go, with the big brothers around!
Saturday night sent 'Atif off at Hentian Duta to attend Xcell in Penang. Mg mendapat menfaat maksima(!) & mencapai objektif! 4 from Ampang Jaya, 'Atif, Atiqah, Mariah & Nasrul. Alhamdulillah fully sponsored by kawasan.... :)

ngantuknyer....

alhamdulillah, bas sampai kol 11 lebih. Moga selamat perjalanan....

Sunday was another full day. alhamdulillah the boys were around, boleh tengok adik2. Daurah in the morning d SRIAAKL. Stopped by at home to see how things were, solat & short (quality??) time with the kids, then off to masjid Ridhwan. Sila picked me up at around 2.30 & we headed to de Dalma for WJS's meeting with Selangor Muslim Women NGOs. It was already late when I got home.

Dr Roy - welcome & tq......

we hope this will be a start to.....

aren't we all sweet... hehe

Spent time with the kids Monday morning. Petang usrah d umah K Ani & malam had another meeting d Kompleks JIM - SMIWI coming up! waaaa... banyaknya kerja nak kena buat!

we mean business...

pengarah prog jgn risau, arah je, kami buat.....

Tuesday was really,really packed!
After lots of SMSes & calls, transport for Kem Remaja Perkasa was finally organised, alhamdulillah. Meeting point- PKJ, 8.15 am. Afiq was late(very late!). All 22 were finally on their way Hulu Langat by 9.05..... Phooh, lega!

We then climbed into Yan's MPV. Our next mission: Jaulah Kasih , ke rumah Zid d Tasik Puteri.I've been there, accompanied her when she moved Nov last year. But none of the others had been there nor seen her since she moved. It was a good visit, alhamdulillah.

sembang2 dulu, tazkirah sikit...

pastu kita makan.... yummy lunch brought all the way from melawati!

jawaher, zid, dah & k je.
back row:yan, pah & me

time to go, jumpa lagi insyaAllah

Ijah pun ikut.... never knew that white bunga melati will turn yellow when plucked!

Sent the 3 angels to Yan's place at around 6.30pm. Tonight we had a wedding to attend at Sime Darby Convention Centre. Our plan was to pick 'Atif up at Hentian Duta at 7.30pm and send him off to KRP after the wedding dinner. But it was not to be.. 7.30, the bus was still in Sg Bernam, another hour or so before it reached KL.

sneaked out early, no one's around outside the hall, boleh lah posing.... hehe

Hafeez used to work at Iktisas a few years back

As the pengantin settled at the main table, 'Atif called. So we asked him to take a taxi to SDCC. But as usual, pcik Othman will send him instead! We waited & waited, & waited... It was only 5-min drive away but it had already been more than half an hour ... Lan called, & whoa!!! they were at KLConvention Ctr!!! He got it all mixed up - KLCC for SDCC, KLCC gor KLGCC!!

Lesson learnt: talk to the driver, find out for sure if he knows where he's going! don't count on your kid telling him, based on what he heard from you...!

So we changed plan, we'll pick 'Atif & the 3 from Othman's place. He didn't bring the housekey & we didn't leave one... By the time we reached home it was past 10pm. 'Atif had a good night sleep & Lan off to his usrah, goodbye KRP for tonight! New plan: They'll join the Qiam the next morning....

Lesson learnt (2) : when taking seats at a table, I will sit next to a lady & Lan on my other side.
Tonight we made a mistake of Lan sitting next to his friend with me on his other side leaving the seat on my other side empty.... Along came a decent looking couple... I smiled at the wife anticipating her to fill up the seat next to me, tut..tut... it was the husband instead! ouch! he even had the grace to pull out the chair beyond for the wife to sit on...which was beside another guy! aduhhhh, the rest of the ladies at the table looked a bit stunned too. I had to slowly inch my seat towards Lan. Hope I didn't seem rude. That sort of spoiled my night. Oh well....

With the boys at the camp, another ziarah kasih on wednesday ! This time we visited Fatimah . Haven't seen her since she was discharged from Ampang Puteri, months ago!! Our last visit was when she was in Danau Kota, she had since moved to Taman Melati.

mar, yan & fatimah with ira & me behind

Today our usrah group joined Nadi Asybal committee meeting in Al Amin KL. Planned aktiviti Aulad for Rehlah Keluarga this coming Saturday.

Thursday morning went with Jun & Jawaher to Taman Tasik Perdana to recce for a good spot for our Rehlah Keluarga

sempat naik train pusing-pusing taman!

nice spot here!

This is the directive given in the net, with a rough sketch attached. Pretty clear huh!
Dr Bad responded saying that she could already visualise the place, without having to look at the map hehehe .

Afternoon, the boys got home from KRP - dead tired & all pooped!! I had mountains of laundry to do... :( made worse by the fact that it had been raining everyday this week! Clothes everywhere, fan spinning at full speed 24 hours a day!!! had to, the boys were going back to school saturday morning...sigh....

Early friday morning, the house was lively! no one slept in after subuh as everybody had had a good night sleep! empty tummies, so had to go out and get breakfast - of all the days, today they came back straight from the surau instead of stopping by to get breakfast..sigh....

After Friday prayers Lan took everybody to KLCC, including Afnan & Faiz, leaving me behind to settle the laundry. Bliss, no interruption!!

Tonite's the last nite before the school break ended. Tonite we must make time for a family dinner! Lan left his phone somewhere in KLCC, so off he went with 'Arif to search for it. Hard luck! (yesterday found it under the driver's seat... alhamdulillah).

I took everybody else to JJ - Ahmad got himself a pair of new shoes - this afternoon he called, he just found out that he got 1 of size 8 & 1 size 10! Tough luck!

'Iffah came along, we had a nice family dinner at NZ, finally..... at 11 pm...alhamdulillah. Banyak cerita-ceriti menarik & lawak tentang KRP!!!

Saturday will be another tale to tell.. biiznillah
