First day of school for the kids - the feeling is the same!

The excitement of first day of school still the same. 18 years ago, I could still remember the day I sent my first daughter to school for the first time.. That automatically reminded me of my own first day at school. Today, Aliya will not be joining the morning rush. The preparation became less hectic. Perhaps, we probably have gotten the skills OR perhaps, we are not as worried, as fussy, as 'kisah', as we used to when we first experienced it long time ago. Tomorrow, Alif will be in Year 6 and Aina in Form 3. Both will be in the exam year, UPSR & PMR respectively. 8 months from now, my knees will be shaking again. I had to say, I handled things pretty well when Aliya was sitting for her SPM  last nov-Dec 2012. I was not as panicky.. Could be worst. But she needs mom to be cool this time. Despite her cool look, I could not take things for granted as she cant be stressed out at that very moment. For tomorrow, everything is ready from the undergarment to the socks & shoes...

Aliya is off for PLKN (National Service)

It is the first day of the year 2013. The day after tomorrow, Aliya is leaving for PLKN. Yeah right.. the chosen one. I am a selfish mom who wants to keep her daughter at home after SPM. Good thing that she is away only for 3 months. I m listing things for an 18-year old girl to bring along.

If there is anything I can do..

If I am not talking It's not that I have nothing to say If I dont cry anymore Does not mean, the pain is gone Even if I cry Where will it lead me to? If I feel alone Does not mean no one is around If I choose to be quiet May be my words better kept inside than being heard If I stop to pursue Does not mean I give up If I seem to ignore you I probably dont know what to do If I cant answer you May be I choose not to.  For I know I  am not able to do  anything to get me thru If I fail to put a smile on you The way I used to Tell me what to do so that 'life' will again revolve around me & you Sunday Sept 9, 2012 OMBAK RINDU

Mom, We Miss You Everyday! Penawar Rindu buat Bonda Tersayang

Mom, We Miss You Everyday! Penawar Rindu Buat Bonda Tersayang 26th of August 1999 - Al-Fatihah   It has been 13 years. but it seems yesterday. How could I not remember you, when what I see, what I do, reminds me of you. The hole stays in my heart since the day you were gone; despite all the abundant love I received from everybody around me. Life can be rough, making me wish for the one missing source of comfort that I used to have for so many years, that is, no longer available.  Today marked the 13th year without you around. Not making it easier than ever. We have let you go in peace. We have accepted the fate that we only had you for a short moment. Of course, wonderful great moments that we had with you. Now, only stories to be told to your other grandcucu & your new menantu who are wondering, why I was so obsessed with Uwan. Every single things lead back you. Just because.. you & ayah are still an important part of us.  If only they knew how it...
