Winter is here!

Looks like we have early winter this year, put on your sweater, jacket and socks or you will get cold

Fruit juice fact

100% fruit juice, including freshly squeezed juice, is a high sugar drink. Even though it contains natural fruit sugar, the amount of sugar in fruit juice is almost the same as that in soft drink and cordial. Whole fruit also contains some sugar, but also many other vitamins and minerals (especially fibre), which makes it a more filling and healthy snack than a glass of juice.

It's important to limit fruit juice and other sweet drinks to an occassional treat for kids.

The Departure

Six days passed by very quickly, its time for Bang Teh, Kak Teh, Faris, Jes and little Hazrat to go back to Malaysia. After enjoying BBQ at Burswood, packed up things and ensure the documents needed were ready, at about 1.40pm we went to airport, deep inside me I felt sad, but I kept telling myself, only one more month then we also will leave Perth for good and join them in Malaysia, Insya Allah... Faris and Jes, thank you for bringing your mum and dad to Perth, and thank you all for staying at our house, it's been very joyful and heartwarming to have all of you here.

.....Fremantle & BBQ@Burswood

As I said in my previous post, I cannot join Kak Teh and her family to tour around Perth, but my husband and I tried to make some arrangement to join them on their last day of shopping at Fremantle on Friday. After the shopping we ate kebab at a Turkish outlet.

Enjoying the kebab

On Saturday morning (9/5/09) before Bang Teh, Kak Teh and family going back to Malaysia, we enjoyed the BBQ at Burswood with some of our friends. Nasi lemak was served together with bbq chickens, sausages and lambs.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

I have been busy these past few days and unable to update my blog. On 3rd May 2009, my youngest boy celebrated his 6th birthday. He was very fortunate because on the same day, Pak Teh, Mak Teh, Abang Faris, Kak Jes and Hazrat arrived at our house for holiday. So, the more the merrier..... Hasif my son, May Allah bless you with kind heart, happiness and wisdom.

Autumn...

The leaves changed color and fall to the earth, the season change again just like life...

A quiet and peace day.....

The children already started their 2nd term of school after 2 weeks holiday. They went to school and left Mama with quiet and peace day ;>. At times, I miss their noisiness, their quarrelsome, their curious questions during the day, but never mind they will come back from school and bring their 10001 stories.

Anyway, I am very excited waiting for my sister, Kak Teh, Bang Teh, Faris, Jes and their baby Hazrat to come to Perth on 3rd May 2009. They will be here until 9th May 2009. Unfortunately, I can't join them tour the Perth because the children are schooling and I have to babysit. Furthermore, my hubby has classes. It's okay, as long as I can spend my nights with them......
