Recent event...

First event I want to share here is pasar malam (night market)! I've been here in Perth for about 9 months, and I missed pasar malam. Luckily, on last October, International Students Association of CUT organized pasar malam. My husband and I with two of my youngest children went there after solat Maghrib. Many stalls were opened by the students as well as outsiders who were permanent residents and some of them the owner of restaurants. But majority of the hawkers were chinese. There were satay, nasi lemak, briyani, hot dog, ayam percik, cendol and many others. The most in demand food was satay, very long queue, 6 skew of satay for 5 dollars. Pasar malam in Malaysia we listen to the songs played by cd's seller, here we listen the songs played by live band, Malay songs in the middle of university's field, cool!!

This is the popular satay stall

The children have started their last term of school. This term many activities were planned. Syarafi and 'Iffah joined the Author club, which they learned to create stories, poem to develop their writing and thinking skills. Zarif joined the After School which is more towards physical activities. Afiq and Hasif, no extra activities... In recent assembly 'Iffah was awarded the certificate for excellent work in writing stories on Power Point. (awarded by Author Club).

Yesterday, 20th November 2008, my husband and I went to BBQ party at Burswood Park to celebrate our friends that are going back to Malaysia. Some of them go back because they have finished their study and some of them go back for practical. It touched my heart.....I wanna go back toooo!!!! I miss my home, my family, my colleague and friends, and I miss my Boss!! Be strong heart, June next year we shall going back to Malaysia! These are the pictures that I managed to snap.

Enjoying the moments together......

Life is full of test and exam

Life.....what do we want our life to be? Always happy, everything is easy, no ups and downs, no stumbling blocks, everything goes as we want it to be.....yeahhh...perfecto! It do sounds good, but is it really interesting? Its not colourful though....

Ups and downs, stumbling block, thunder and lightnings are parts of our life....all those are the test and exam for us, to score and learn from. They make our life more exciting, adventurous and special.

People do make mistakes, nobody is perfect except our Prophet. But those mistakes are the lessons from Allah for us to learn from and improve ourselves. I always pray that Allah give me strength and courage in experiencing all the tests and exams in my life.

By the way, congratulation to my nephews and cousins who got excellent result in UPSR recently. Good luck for those who have taken PMR, surely looking forward to get the result, and good luck for those who currently sitting for SPM, do your best!

My husband also finished his final exam for semester two last Friday. Hopefully success will become yours sweetheart!
