Contests & Such

I am sucker for contests.... Especially baby photo contest....:) Just recently I entered both Irdina and Imran in a photo contest organised by Pa&Ma website. The winners are selected based on the most number of online votes. The results cam out today and they both won consolation prizes.... I could not ask for more.... Check this out http://www.majalahpama.com.my/extra/bayi_menang.asp and http://www.majalahpama.com.my/extra/adik_menang.asp I also entered Imran in the Little Superstar Search organised by Women's Weekly Malaysia magazine. And I was elated when I received a call from their rep saying Imran was among the 8 finalists and was to attend a photoshoot to be featured in the May issue. Will upload pics once the mag is published.....:)....counting the days. Prizes worth RM1,250...woot woot....:D

Still Missing You.....

It's been a while since I've written here....a lot has happened eversince.... Where do I begin? The last time I wrote was three weeks after my beloved mother in law passed away. Tomorrow marks three months. How time flies. But three months is not near enough to heal the pain that I feel. I can't begin to imagine how my husband, his siblings and my father in law are feeling. No words can calm their fears....no hugs enough to soothe their pain.....:( But life has to go on...... We all miss you dearly Mama..... Al-Fatihah....

Three weeks since......

Three weeks have passed since the demise of my mother-in-law. The emptiness is felt more so as every day goes by. I miss her daily calls....her laughter....her stories which always maneges to cheer me up....I miss her so very badly.

However, I can't really show how I really feel as my sadness will cause a domino effect on Mr. Hubby. I simply can't stand to see him sad. So I have to bottle up my feelings and express them on my blog (Mr. Hubby has no clue that I have a blog ;) )....Anyways, this blog was created just as a platform for me to write what I feel....not really expecting any audience.....but to those who are reading this....thanks....

Life has basically gone back to our normal routine. Weekends are spent in Bangi with my father and sister in law. It's just them now (plus a maid) in that big house so it's really quite lonely for them. They are planning to move back to Keramat to be near us so we are in the process of looking for a house. Not much luck at the moment.

Other than that, nothing exciting to write about. My 10th wedding anniversary has just passed on 10 January 2011.....we didn't really celebrate obviously but we did exchange gifts....an I pod for him and a watch for me.

AL-FATIHAH

A moment I will never forget....

My beloved mother-in-law passed away peacefully after battling liver and lungs cancer for about 10 months.....

Mama was a strong women. She was determined to fight the illness when she found out about it. But no matter how hard she fought, she succumbed....Allah loves her more....

Mama....

Myra doakan Mama bahagia.......kami akan sentiasa doakan Mama....
Amanat Mama akan kami jaga dan laksanakan
Insya Allah Ma.....

I miss you so much.....

Alhamdulillah

I have a lot to be thankful for.....

First and foremost, I am thankful to be born a Muslim. Then, comes my wonderful family...and extended family. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband...who is an exceptional father to our four gorgeous and almost perfect children.....:)

I'm thankful for a loving family, who are always by my side through thick and thin. My in laws, who have accepted me into their family with open arms....

And today.....alhamdulillah....my five days countdown from Monday has been cut short! Today is day 0....hehehehe.....thank you PNB........much appreciated......:D

And today also I won another contest.......nothing much.......but it's still rezeki.....

My Pride and Joy

Today was report card day at SRI Al-Amin KL. The school where my two eldest children, Nabil and Nisa, goes to. Am so happy to report that Nabil, who obtained straight A's (11 A's), with a 90.09% average was No.2 in his class. And Nisa on the other hand, who also obtained straight A's, with a 93% average, was No.9.



The class positions did not matter much to me. I was elated that their overall results had improved from previous semester. And I was happy that they got straight A's. As a bonus, yesterday I got two letters from the school stating that both my children will be receiving an award this Saturday "Anugerah Akedemik Cemerlang", and that my husband and I were invited to the Majlis Takrim (an equivalent to concert and prize giving day).



In addition to all this, Nabil has also been appointed as prefect for 2011 session.



I am so proud of my children. Even without all this, I am still proud of them....all of them.

They are my pride and joy and only they will carry on our legacy after we die.



To anak-anak Ummi and Ayah.....

Jadilah anak-anak soleh dan solehah....

Doa anak-anak yang akan menyenangkan Ummi dan Ayah di alam barzakh.....



I love you Nabil, Nisa, Irdina and Imran....



And to my other half,

Thank you for giving me four extraordinary children

And thank you for being by my side every step of the way

Trough thick and thin....you are my life
