Happy 7th Birthday Irdina!

My only Princess Irdina now turn 7 yrs old. Time really flies. Sungguh pantas ibu rasa dear.

I still remember when you were 1yr plus my little sweet angle, i was busy entertaining Irfan who fell down near our mini pond and i didn't realize you were on our garden table and suddenyly you fell down and your head hit the garden chair. Ibu was 9 months pregnant to Irsyad dear. Ibu was so panic when I saw blood all over your head. I failed to take care of you dear. You were hospitalized at Bagan Specialist Hospital and alhamdullilah with minor surgery everything went well. And the 2nd day Ibu with you at the hospital, Ibu pulak bersalin for Irsyad. Really pity and thanks Abah kan Irdina...he had to send ibu to Selasih Specialist Center untuk Ibu bersalin and running here and there between Bagan Specialist & Selasih Specialist Center to take care of us (Irdina, Ibu and Irsyad). It was painful but it was a great memorable moment that strengthen us together.

Happy Birthday Irdina! ... be a good muslimah, daughter and students.

Pink cake...everything must be pink kan Dina!

Singing...Caf dah tak sabar tu.

 Gift from abah & ibu.

As usual during any our family members celebration, my hubby & I will be giving RM5 to the kids to buy birthday gift for the birthday boy/girl. Irfan bought a cute bracelet for Irdina at a shop infront of his school while waiting for school van. Irsyad pulak bought a set of Millioanaire games for Irdina. Caf...tak eti lagi. hehehe. Irdina was so happy last nite during gift opening session. Again, as usual, our birthday celebration is a simple celebration, only among us at Mak Tok's Place.

Irdina the little model

By the way, while flipping thru the photo album, i was smile looking at below photo when Irdina was selected as a little model for my company Vision & Mission poster. Haiyo...i tell you...it was not easy to go thru a professional photo shoot. And it is even tougher to make Irdina smile and keep her on the mood. The session was a whole day session and thanks to the whole professional team who were so patience with Irdina. Ibu pun almost hangin....hahaha.

Take a break...hehehe...camera man, lighting man...semua man kena rehat...tunggu Dina back on the mood. You all nampak kan ada paper atas screen laptop tu...hadoi...tu we all dok cari cara nak bagi Dina senyum while looking at the laptop. Sungguh mencabar, Irdina was 4 yrs masa tu. So, someone came up with Ideas letak paper and luckily the ibu memang prepared with coloring set...so we let Dina stamped butterfly on the paper. Dan berikut adalah hasilnya. Pro tak? hehehe...

So...this is the final photo selected for the poster. Letih sungguh bila ingat.

Musim Buah

Sungguh suka hati when returning from work last friday and saw pokok kedondong berbunga, pokok delima buah dia dah nak masak and pokok durian belanda pun berbuah banyak and ada sebijik dah gugur - masak ranum lagi...boleh buat jus.

Berikut ada lah gambar2 pokok-pokok itu.

Ini adalah pokok delima yang di tanam di dalam pasu besaq.

Ini adalah rupa paras buah durian belanda. Besaq hok ni. Saiz dia sama besaq dengan saiz pinggan kita dok makan nasi tu. Yang masak ranum boleh dibuat jus. Yang muda boleh di goreng macam goreng buah sukun or ubi kayu.

Ini lah rupa pokok durian belanda yang di tanam betoi2 depan muka pintu dapoq.

Ni pokok kedondong yang tengah berbunga dengan meriahnya. Tak sabaq tungguh berbuah. Leh menyicah garam belacan.

And below photos are our garden dan anjung yang dah berusia 10 tahun. It is a product of my hubby as our anniversary gift. Hubby took 3 months to complete the garden and he did it everyday after work. A big salute to you hubby. Million thanks!

Pokok yang ditanam - as a selfmaid lady, saya hanya tanam 3 jenis pokok yang begitu independent yang tidak berbunga @ our garden...hehehe....takyah susah payah belai2 sangat. Pokok2 itu ialah, pokok lidah jin, pokok money plant (yang chinese suka itu) dan satu lagi pokok yang saya taktau nama dia but a family of cactus. Taman saya ini sungguh simple dan takdak apa pun yang canggih manggih but I am very happy to have it as it is a gift frm hubby. Ianya merupakan tempat anak2 bermain waktu petang dan juga for us having tea petang2.

Ni photo when we just move to this house 10 yrs ago and hubby working on a mini pond. Tak sangka hubby sungguh creative. Lerbius abe!

Ni Irfan buat perasmian pond immediately when the abah completed the mini pond & piping.

Sekarang camni lah garden...kusut masai...dah 10years umoq dia.

Ni tang anjung. The kids dok naik basikal, mandi kolam, main pondok2.

Sekian.

Happy International Women's Day

Do you guys know that today, March 8th is an International Women's Day? Here i would like to wish all beautiful ladies and supermommies out there, A Very Happy International Women's Day.

I was so excited this morning when i stepped in to the office and a group of beautiful ladies handover roses to all women that working over here. It was a symbolic of International Women's Day celebration. Thanks to management for the initiatives. Really appreciate it.

Quick snapshot on International Women's Day (IWD) which is marked on March 8 every year (from wikipedia). It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.

Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day mixed together. In others, however, the political and human rights theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.

You can google on IWD for more details. Thanks and Happy International Women's Day to all!

Ikan

Last friday during maulidur rasul public holiday we went for fishing again after asar. We reached hom after maghrib. Aduhai, the mommy had to siang ikan till late nite. Sungguh penat disebabkan sungguh banyak ikan2 yang comel didapati. Even the little 2yrs plus Isyraf also managed to catch fishes. He was so happy. Sungguh pandai anak2 ibu.

Only few photos i captured as i was so teruja layan pancing itu.

Hasil tangkapan...sungguh nak pengsan siangnya. Dah antar to mak untuk buat pekasam. Tima kasih mak!

Yeay! Caf dapat fish!

Irdina, thanks dearie for sudi pakai tudung walaupun you are still my little sweet princess. Allah swt will love you dear. Walaupun cuaca in your class not encouraging, but you are so sweet dear in your tudung. Ibu doakan Dina sukses. Be a good muslimah, daughter and student ok!

Ready to school. This photo was a day before actual schooling day aka Orientation Day.

Yeay! Welcome to SJKC Hwa Min! dear Irdina.

Cad & Caf assisting the kakak to her class. Dunno what was Cad so excited about. Siap angkat2 tangan lagi & tersengih2.

Tu yang bertudung tu Dina lah tu. Paying full attention to the teacher's briefing on the Do's & Don'ts.

School tour to the lovely kids. Dulu cikgu ibu tak penah buat tour pun. Pandai2 la sendiri kan.

Alhamdulillah Irdina managed to seat with her so call boyfriend Zhuan Chong. Both of them are so close since they were 4 years old. Suka gaduh tu dua orang tu. Hehehe...gaduh2 manja gitu.

Yeay! Irdina passed the assessment. The Cikgu did a pre-assessment whether the Malays have basic Mandarin or not. They were asked to write their names in Mandarin and few other basic stuff.
