Sacrifice

One morning while I was driving to work, hoping not to be trapped in traffic jam,(o dear....I miss my housewife title) I was listening to Santapan Minda Sinar FM conveyed by Dr. Fadhilah Kamsah. He talked about teacher. I liked one of his phrase, "teachers are not like candle which burn itself to give light to others, but teachers are like sun, shine for others without burning itself". yeaahhh....me tooo...I don't want to be candle I want to be sun...shining others and make myself happy. Sacrifice for others but not to sacrifice myself as well. I can sacrifice for my family; my husband, my sons and my daughter....but my sacrifice will not be in vain....I hope so...even though we are scattered but we are still one...the loneliness and unhappiness..now.. are the sacrifice for future happiness...is that like candle???

Rehlah fi shaatiul bahri...

My laptop doesn't has the arabic letters.....so the title was written like that, it means picnic at the beach. Last Saturday, 31 July 2010, I brought my children to Tanjung Aru beach for recreation. The boys played football and my girl build the sand castle helped by her little brother. Me? Just enjoying watching them and the scenery. My hubby? Unfortunately he wasn't around...duty call, out-stationed for three weeks....down-under...missssed him...

Cooperation and teamwork plus concentration

I just wanna try...

One day, my neighbour, Kak Ita gave me rendang pucuk paku. Its delicious, thanks Kak Ita. The rendang reminded me of another traditional food; rendang pucuk ubi. I used to eat this long time ago, my sister in law, Allahyarhamah Kak Ngah Azizah loves to make this rendang (semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas ruhnya...Amin). It was very delicious. Then, based on my vague memory and recipes from internet, I tried to cook the rendang. It was yummy but not very crunchy...it supposed to be crunchy!!..I need to improvise it...I think the coconut milk was not enough...never mind I will try again...meanwhile just enjoy what I've prepared...lalala

Ready to eat with nasi lemak.....mmmmm

My dedication especially for you...

Berjuta batu jauhnya

Akanku tinggalkan cinta dan rindu

Padamu kasih

Aku berjanji

Akan tetap setia selalu

Berjuta batu jauhnya

Akan kutinggalkan dirimu

Tujuh lautan akan kulintasi

Demi suatu pengorbanan

Bunga-bunga berguguran di sinar bulan

Akan kubawakan untukmu segalanya

Taburkanlah bunga di pusaraku

Andai tiada kupulang

Cintamu tetapku kenangi

Walaupun hingga akhir nanti

Missing you...

Living far away from family, I missed many occasions; weddings, births, sickness, meetings and so on....luckily my family and my in-laws understand our situation for not being able to be there...

Dear families and friends, whatever it is we always praying for the best for all of you....walau jauh kau tetap ku kenang....

SAYANG KINABALU

Singer : Kimin Mudin



Sabah tourism song, Sayang Kinabalu, popular in Sabah. Very nice song, I like it.

Below is the bamboo music version, very soothing:

Family Visit

During the last school holiday, we were visited by one of my family whom the children called Kak Rozi. She was here following her school vacation trip, therefore her scheduled was packed. The last night she was here we went to eat dinner together at the Grace Point. She got the chance to come to our house on her last day in KK. Apa lagi makan2 lah kita....

The green dish was sago gula melaka


Smile..!!


With her friend

Then during the National Tilawah which was held at Kota Kinabalu this year, we were visited by Pak Dah and Mak Dah. Pak Dah was assigned for duty at the tilawah. They stayed at our home. Even though they were here for about five days, we seldom have time together. They were busy with their own tasks and arrangements. At last we able to go out together on Sunday. We went to Pasar Tamu at Gaya Street; craft shopping, after that we were invited by one of their friend for a kenduri. At night, we were eating out, again at Grace Point, Sembulan, the area of Double Six Monument, the place where the plane boarded by Chief Minister Tun Fuad Stephen and ten others including his eldest son crashed on June 6,1976. We like to bring our visitors especially from Semenanjung to eat here because it has varieties of foods including steamboat, Indian cuisine, Korean, Thai, choices of noodles, satay, Malay foods and not forgetting Sabah Ethnic foods such as ambuyat, hinava and others.

Exam Preparation: UPSR

In order to get excellent result for UPSR 2010, SK Kepayan organised programmes for parents and students separately. For parents, the school held the parenting seminar, tips on how parents should handle and support their children for the exam. The talk was given by the counselor from Jabatan Pelajaran Sabah.

The teachers also took the initiative to motivate the students for UPSR by organizing the Motivational Program handled by the teachers themselves and the motivational activities was given by one of the teacher who is certified motivator. The programme was held at multipurpose hall, Arkib Negara Malaysia Cawangan Sabah. Hopefully these efforts will be fruitful.

Thank you

Room mates

Thank you Mak Dah for visiting us, even though you were tide up with your program here in KK but you spared your time for us. We were happy to have you here though in a short time (11th April-13th April 2010). 'Iffah was glad you shared room with her because she always afraid to sleep alone. On Sunday we went to Abang Zam's house, he and Kak Ida prepared "ketam masak lemak cili api" for us (walaupun Ida demam). On Monday we went to Craft Market or its famous name, Pasar Filipina to buy gifts. And the last day, we visit again the Craft Market in the morning; more gifts needed! 2.oop.m we went to airport. Short but meaningful visit, thank you Mak Dah, come again with Abang Naufal and Pak Dah.

At the airport...
