Another birthday boy in Ramadhan

On 08-09-09, Alang reached the age of 11, another birthday celebrated in Ramadhan after Along. Mama cooked curry mee and bought a cake. May Allah blessed you forever; Papa and Mama wished you to be a good Muslim.

Mmmm..yummy...curry mee


Along and Angah just came back from school not to be left out cheering for Alang

Back in white uniform

1st September 2009......first day of school for my children since coming back from Perth...fuhh...after several processes, at last they are able to be in white uniform again...Along and Angah went to SMK Tansau, Penampang; Alang and Kak Teh went to SK Kepayan, Kota Kinabalu and Hasif on 2nd September started his kindi at Tabika KEMAS. The schools have two sessions, morning and afternoon. Alang class is in the morning while the rests are in the afternoon, Hasif of course in the morning until 11.30a.m. For about two days I drove all of them to and back from school.....three schools with different directions....morning and afternoon...just imagine that with the traffic jam...But then I managed to get school bus for the secondary school, wow! quite expensive, I don't know about other places, but I have to pay RM160 per month for my two sons...murah ka mahal?

Pulau Sebatik

Pada 9 hingga 14 Ogos 2009, suami saya telah mengikuti Program Orientasi Pegawai-pegawai Persekutuan yang baru bertugas di Sabah anjuran Jabatan Perpaduan Negara dan Integrasi Nasional Sabah. Kursus ini telah diadakan di Daerah Tawau, Sabah, iaitu di Hotel De Choice dan Pulau Sebatik. Fasa 1 kursus, para peserta didedahkan dengan sejarah, adat resam, struktur organisasi pentadbiran, tarian dan bahasa sukuan kaum di Sabah. Fasa 2 pula, program keluarga angkat di mana para peserta tinggal bersama keluarga angkat di 3 buah kampung di Pulau Sebatik iaitu Kg. Sg. Pukul. Kg. Lahad-lahad dan Kg. Pisak. Para peserta menaiki 2 buah bot untuk ke Pulau Sebatik. Antara aktiviti bersama keluarga angkat adalah acara sukaneka dan gotong-royong membersihkan balai raya di Kg. Lahad-lahad.

Penduduk di 3 buah kampung ini hidup dengan aman harmoni sungguhpun kekurangan kemudahan asas seperti elektrik, air dan jalan tar. Mereka menggunakan generator untuk mendapatkan bekalan elektrik, manakala perigi dan hujan merupakan sumber bekalan air harian mereka. Terdapat sebuah sekolah di kawasan tersebut iaitu SK Panglima Habibullah dan di sinilah tempat majlis penyerahan anak angkat dan sukaneka diadakan.

My first function..

On 6th August 2009, my husband was invited to attend FFM dinner (Festival Filem Malaysia) at Magellan, Sutra Harbour. Of course accompanied by wife....so this is my first formal function to attend since I've been here. Hmmm.....definitly there were so many artists but that night the highlight was the veteran artists because it was the Malam Anugerah Bintang Lagenda. It started a bit late from schedule, waiting for the Tuan Yang Terutama to arrive, thus, ended late also...One thing here, whenever there is a function, there will be the cultural presentation such as traditional dances and singing added into agenda. So, just watch and learn about the culture and life of multiple thribes and races here.

Video clips of the legend stars was displayed (also in the picture, Khadijah Tan and husband)

Yeahhh..the stuffs are here!!!!

The children were very excited when they saw the moving company's truck. Finally they can play their PS2! On the 17th August our stuffs from Semenanjung had arrived safely but we are still waiting for the car and motorcycle. Both were shipped on 19th August, we have to wait another 10 days....children, we have to stay home and cannot go anywhere...

I'm happy!!!


Look at our stuffs, not so many ha..

Rindu...

Yesterday I got a message from a friend, Tunku Nizar (father of Intan Maryam, the baby that I babysit in Perth) informing that his father had passed away. He was 76 years old. Luckily Tunku and Hanisah came back from Perth earlier and able to be with his father more than two weeks. Yeahh...we never know we will lost our beloved one, like I had lost my father and mother....how I miss them....Takziah for Tunku and Hanisah, may Allah blessed his soul...

Mentioning about Intan I miss her and Hawari. They surely grown up, Intan is able to turn over her body


and Hawari, may be he can talk now...I've not heard from Hamidah since they went back to Oman. Alhamdulillah, while they spending their holiday in Malaysia before back to Oman, Hawari and his family were able to come to my house at Bandar Tasik Puteri.
