Looking out

As salam,
Friday 10 Dec - Last day in Singapore.

From my hotel balcony at Marina Mandarin Hotel in Singapore,  I see the scenic view of the new Casino - Sky Park, the river, the wheel...What a sight!!  I saw it during daytime, sunset, night time and sun rise.  4 different scenes make you think of our Creator.  So beautiful!  Masya Allah!!  Please see pics at the end of these write up.

Sometimes walking along Orchard Road, especially at Centre Point, flashed back memories from the 1st trip (for me) the geng and I had to Spore - that was in 1984 or 1985 after finishing our studies in MTSSR.  Nostalgia.......coming back

It is 6.50am.  Though the sun has risen, I didn't get to see the bright yellow color which I wanted to see.  It seems I won't get to see it.  It has lots of dew today.

During my stay here, the city were lighted up with beautiful neon colors to celebrate the coming  xmas festive season.

Most important of all, I get to meet my ex classmate from my ex CCMS school.  On Monday she came with hubby and we had dinner at Indonesian restaurant at the Marina Square.  Talking about old times, family, children etc..Chun Yen is still the same old Chun Yen.  On Tuesday she came on her own and we met at Tangs. After I bought my daughter's prom dress, we went to eat at a Thai Restaurant.  Yummy!!!!  For three days during lunch, I had oysters, sushi - salmon eating to my heart content!!!

Aqeela had been planning for an oversea trip for 3 years (i.e. after O level) with her close friends. I only knew of this in 2010. They wanted to go to KL but I won't allow as it is dangerous as they are youngsters ages 16 - 17 of age. I told her to go to KK instead as she can have many activities to do there.


I did ask who will accompany them since I will not be going. After they discussed among themselves, all I know was that they decided to have me as their "chaperon" knowing that if I go their parents will allow them to go.


So 3 months ago, I knew of this. I kesian my daughter since last year in 2009, on her 16th birthday we went to Haj. So you can imagine she is really looking forward to this trip. But to make things interesting for them, I asked what they plan to do in KK. I have a few up my sleeves as well.

I manage to find the travel agent in KK to do the Pedas white water rafting and the Twin island Trip. 

Day 1 was shoping. dinner for birthday celebrant for Oct, Nov & Dec.  After that watching Harry Potter & The Deadly Hallows: Part 1 movie.

Letting Go - Amira to London

on board a cruiser - Putrajaya Mar 2010



Looking at the shoes on the pic above and after chating with Amira, she decided to go to London to visit her ex classmates this weekend.  My baby is taking footsteps to travel alone on her own to London.  She traveled to London by coach at 0630 hours.  She also said she walked to the coach station.  That even worries me especially early in the morning.  So many things come up to my mind.


As a mother, I am worried.  My baby all alone in UK.  Semoga perjalanan mu di permudahkan, selamat pergi dan kembali....amin.


I hope she will sms or msn me from London.  I am sure she will have lots to talk about with her ex classmates.

Yes, She sms me to say she arrived safely in London.  She also greeted me on my 49th Birthday.

kkkkrrrraaaaaakkkkkkk



Feb 1996 - 11 months

 

Nigeria 1997



Two weeks ago, dancing teachers from Taiwan came to my kids school.  A one day session was held for them to teach the primary and secondary school some traditional dancing steps as well as some handy crafts.  My girl Nasreen liked it because she enjoys dancing as she is taking part in Hip Hop Club.


My son Khairee, took some karate lessons a few years back but never completed it due to school commitment.


On the evening itself, I saw Khairee wearing a trouser looked like the school dragon team's uniform.  I specifically remember that he does not own one.  It was after dinner when he was about to walk to his room, he suddenly turned back.


He was smilling and said to me, "Did you know whose trouser this is?"  I said, "Mr Jim." (Coz the trouser looked really big on him).


With his mischievious smile, he said, "No."  I asked whose was it.  He said, "Something happened at school today."


"You know we had a teacher from Taiwan, right?", he asked.


I said, "yes."


He continued saying, "I was mining my own business on learning the dance.  It involved some sort of Kung Fu.  When he showed the part about kicking, I wanted to kick really high.  Upon trying that particular move, my trouser made a big 'krack' sound."


He said everybody was tired during that time but on hearing the big "krrraaaaaakkkk", everybody was very alert and turning to where the sound came from.  By then I can't help myself but laugh.  He was also talking and laughing at the same time.


Turning to his teacher, he said, "Cher, i need to go to the back (speaking to his teacher in chinese)."  At the same time using his hands to cover his butt where the big hole was.

He was sitting at the back of the hall thinking what to do next.  He decided to go to the staff room to call home and asked to be picked up.  On the way to the staff room, he met Mr Lim, who asked what was wrong.  He told him about his trouser and Mr Lim told him to use his spare trouser.  No wonder the trouser looked so big.


His friends were surprised to see how quick he changed and coming back to continue the session.  They didn't realise that he was wearing Mr Lim's trouser.  He then said, putting his trouser with the big hole to his face, "Pee-ka-Boo!!"  Everybody was laughing when he did that.

Mr Lim wanted to take picture of his trouser but he said no.


He told me that he was supposed to wear his PE clothes but he forgot.


That's Khairee.
