My 12th Annyversary

We spent our 9th, 10th and 11th annyversary in Canada bringing the kids to various restaurant to celebrate together. This year its more special because we are already in Malaysia. We brought the kids for a wekend annyversary getaway and a romantic dinner for the 2 of us in a rooftop bar. Its really not about celebrating them but about making sweet memories out o this special dates.Our romantic dinner for two. The place have such a nice ambiance.
The wekend before we brought the kids to Lexis Hibiscus in Port Dickson. We really enjoyed the over the sea hotel unit with its spacious room and private pool.
Our unit is just in front
They jump straight into the pool once we arrived to our room. Tengah panas buta.




The kids and their jump stunt.

The spcious room. However I dont really like the decor. Too oriental to my liking. 

The water seems seamlessly conecting to the sea.



Various room pictures from differenr angle. The kids enjoyed the big bathtub too.


The super big bathroom with a glass floor at the centre to look at the sea below. 

Our transport around the resort is using the buggy car.


In the evening we went to hibiscus walk for sightseeing and dinner. It is very convenient plus they have variety of food to choose. Bit pricey though. 
2nd day activities of course consist of more pool time before check ou








Complimentary tea, coffee and dessert at the hotel coffee house before leaving back to KL. 
It was a fun short wekend getaway for me and family. The kids especially Diha enjoyes them so much. All along the way she was singing "Fun Summer Holiday" 

Aidiladha 2017

This year mark the 3rd year we celebrated Aidiladha abroad away from our family in Malaysia. 

There is no Qurban act that we can see here. Its not allowed by law. Slaughtering is only done in slaughter house with strict rules and regulations.

Its a lonely feelings I would say. We would gather together all Malay muslim friends and try to lift the spirit of Eid.

The celebration started with Eid prayers at Abu Hurairah mosque. MasyaAllah every year the jamaah has increase so much. 



All of us has to pray outside. The difference here from Malaysia is outside is chilly and indoor is warm and cozy. However I still enjoyed the prayers tremendously . Such a glorious day, to.be sitting outside with the muslim jamaah and pray.

Next to Hari Raya gathering at friends house. ( tengok ti semangat mak).

Tgk good tu . Tak nak kalah.

My geng kat Toronto. They are my family here. Geng suka duka. Having them around makes life di perantauan bearable. 

Madiha goes to school.

I have not been writing for awhile and I have list of beautiful topics to share. Some topics as usual is just about me and my simple little moments in life that  I cherished. 

Today is about Madiha and how she is going to start schooling at the age of 4!!. Yes here in Canada. Free full day public school starts at the age of 4. Awesome and not. Less time for the kids with their stay at home mommy. Awesome for working mother though. I have mix feeling about this because I love spending time with Madiha. Oh well more time for me with myself. However its good for Diha because she is such a sociable kid. She love having friends to play with all the time.

So we started telling her about going to school, she cries because she does not want to. She wants ummi to be around her. But after a few days she kind of accepted them. 

Preparing for school.


Bags and shoes.


We went shopping for school equipments, new shoes and clothes. Always telling her this is going to be fun. One day while shopping at Dollarama she ask abah for something and abah says if you dont cry when you go to school you will get it. And she says ok. Alrite cheap deals. !!!dollarama kat sini is macam kedai 2 hinggit la. 



On the first day of school I can see how afraid she looks. Abah decide to follow allong also to see Diha off her first day at school.

Walking to school


 After getting Zuhayr and Harith to their respective class we bring diha to.the kindergarten doors.


In front of the class door, there are 1 kid crying but the rest are quiet. So does Diha. I felt so proud of her and how tough she acted. She ask abah can I ask the teacher something. Then Ms Hanna her classroom teacher bent down towards madiha to hear what she have to say.



Madiha: "teacher is it ok if I dont know how to draw yet?
Ms Hanna: "of course honey!!! Thats why you are here, I am going to teach how to draw ok?
Madiha : " ok"

And slowly walk inside her class.

I walk home by myself that day. Feeling proud and happy, nostalgic of the days that we would walk home together after sending Harith and Zuhayr. 

Playground we always stop by after sending the boys. 

Lone journey home.

At pick up. Happy girl.


Walking home. I will miss this forever. The best way to go to school and back. Walking distance away. Aaaaahh the beautiful life in Canada.
