MANICAM & MANIGO

5th Wk

Sat, 29 May - In the afternoon we went to Cik Asmah's daughter engagement that was held at Punggol. After filled our stomach we headed to City Hall and mosey around until it was time for our appointment.

In fact Hubby, Sis and myself were selected for a paid survey at Stamford Road. It was about half hr survey which i felt an easy way to earn extra cash in our pocket. After received the good fortune we headed to Singapura Plaza. Witty things happened on the way there. Sis's sandal has gave way and my poor sweethearts have to walk back to the 7-11 to buy a pair of slipper. While waiting i felt that my feet was burning, after Sis got her slipper we continued our way to SP. By that time i could hardly walk as my feet was really killing me!! which made me feel a mile away to reach SP. As soon as we reached SP we went to Carrefour to buy another pair of slipper for myself. ..lol..lol.;) such a relieve!! After all the hiccup, we enjoyed spending our time there. The place was congested but vibrant, there was a dino exhibition, music game competition, and we enjoyed the 'LIVE IT UP WITHOUT LIGHTING UP - ROCKIN' WITHOUT SMOKIN" campaign. We received a remarkable surveniors and one of it is our future photos (72 years old!!). "Can any one guess which photo (A or B) is smoker and non-smoker?"lol..lol...lolll :)

I'm hoping that this campaign will give smokers an excellent reason to quit smoking - to protect their families, friends and colleagues.”

Goodbye Siti, Hello JB

4th Wk

Sat, 23 May was such a dreary day. Everyone has it's own activities until 7.30pm we had dinner at our indian sister's home. Essentially, we were there to say bon voyage to her incomparable maid as well as a birthday wish to Arun. I have encountered few maids who are caring, hardworking, initiative etc...but this extraordinary maid is genuinely, truly a kind soul. I guess this is a gift of guardian angel from God to watch over the family. If truth to be told i hate to say good-bye to her and hoping to say HELLO again to her after the 1 month break. We will be missing you Siti.....MUUAAAH!!

On Sun, 3 of us are set to go to JB, my bro, hubby and myself. Beyond doubt we..hhmmm.....me don't have enough time to shop due to the 1hr plus wasting time on the traffic jam that was heading to the Causeway. In spite of this i still managed to get all the necessity things until our RM$ was dried up. To me satisfaction will never be the case as i hope to go there again but this time with my kaki's. ..1dy..2dy...i'm counting the days...22 more days to go!!

FORTUNATE WEEKEND

3rd Wk
Sat, 16 May. Late morning, we visited Mother together with sis and aunt. It was a very short visit and i felt guilty for not able to stay longer. Hopefully we can visit her again on the next weekend. Then, we headed to Toa Payoh Central and hang around until late afternoon. On that particular afternoon Bro informed us that there will be "Syarahan" held at his place at 7.45pm. Rather than heading to nowhere we agreed to attend the "Syarahan".

Unexpectedly, once we were there it was actually a Forum Perdana. We were so excited when we saw the banner, usually we watched the Forum Perdana that was broadcast from M'sia . Topic for that night was "Permata yang Hilang" eventhough it was a 100% Singaporean, it was a night to remember as we got two great panels Ustaz Hasan Saiful Rizal and Ustaz Tengku Mohamad Fouzy Jumat. The moderator for this forum was Uztaz Abdul Rahim Yusof and the presenter was... *drum roll*............my Bro dah.., a surprise indeed, he did not mentioned to me earlier. We gained knowledge and really glad to be there. The "Permata yang Hilang" is actually AKHLAK, our manners, etiquette, politeness, couteousness eventually is fading towards our siblings, friends, teachers, spouse, children and especially our parents. I wish we can follow our Rasulullah saw examples for known to have AKHLAK YANG MULIA. Here is the brief synopsis of the topic which was brought up:-

"Masaalah keruntuhan AKHLAK bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang baru. Ia wujud pada setiap zaman yang menyerusup masuk tampa disedari melalui pelbagai aspek kehidupan samada dari sudut budaya dan juga arus kemajuan dan kemodenan. Ajaran Islam secara idealnya telah disempurna dan dilengkapkan oleh Allah swt sebagai satu cara hidup yang diredhai. Tetapi secara realitinya Islam kehilangan sesuatu yang amat berharga yang boleh membawa kepada keruntuhan prinsip dan dasar nilai hidup beragama yang berteraskan wahyu Ilahi".

Initially, on the next day we don't intend to go anywhere but changed our mind when we were invited by my niece to join them for dinner. "Rezeki jangan ditolak, musuh jangan dicari..beb " this phrase has been playing in my mind, unsure if this is right . We had a scrumptious SEAFOOD meal...and...and....and....DURIANS for dessert shioklah!! And on behalf of my family, thanks to my niece & her hubby .... "Terima kasih daun keladi, lain kali jemputlah lagi" :o) ..lol..lol...lol

MOTHER'S DAY

2nd Wk

It's MOTHER'S DAY apart from getting well wishes there are lots of reasons to be happy today. Being part of the RC and brisk walking member on every weekend it make me feel so great being with one of them. Today, after the usual morning walk, the RC's celebrate this special occasion dedicated to all MOTHERS. For this extra ordinary morning all MOTHERS spent time together having breakfast, playing bingo, cutting cakes (very yummy!!), photo taking and lucky draws.

Looking at those smiling faces in the group photo (almost 80% are senior citizen..one photo is still missing...???), they remind me of my MOTHER. It has been more than 7 years since my MOTHER passed away, the memories of her will remain forever in my heart. My MOTHER death is one of the most difficult experiences. Losing someone or something you love is very painful. After a significant loss, i experienced all kinds of difficult and surprising emotions. Sometimes it may feel like the sadness will never let up...when she's gone i then realised my MOTHER's endless sacrifices....gosh i'm getting emotional here.

Well, this is one of the greatest day that every child should remember, indeed everyday should be treated as MOTHER'S DAY. You should acknowledge the sacrifices she has made for you and say to her what she means to you. It is also the time to thank Allah Ta'ala for his wonderful present, the boon that has made you what you are. And please do get your MOTHER and give her a kiss and big hug everyday before it's too late.

Surprisingly in the afternoon, we got another scrumptious cake from kiddy and hubby. TQ dear...it very yummyyyy...... TO ALL BEAUTIFUL MOTHER OUT THERE "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY";)

2nd Wk

Kiddy was exactly 9 on 4th of May. Me & hubby took a day leave just to be with Kiddy on this special occasion. Kiddy has been blowing candles for full board and was delighted to receive books, a toy and a study chair from us and $$ from mummy but not forgeting that on the same day he has to sit for mid-year exam in the afternoon. We have a quick lunch at Swensen and in the afternoon while he's at school we went to Orchard to do an errand. But it does not stop here either because it appears that for dinner we have special guests to witness Kiddy blowed the candles for the 3rd time...sorry not the 3rd times but that was the 4th times including on 1 May 09.

Special May Day

1st Week
I guess every working people are waiting for the 1st day of May...yes!!...yeeeesss!! An additional day for me to get rid off all those morons...... Anyway, I envy the school children, they are so lucky and fortunate because they got the holiday that was meant for the labourers. Now i feel like going back to school, besides there are other benefits have been provided for eg money, shoe, clothes, etc..etc.. At times i wonder if the authorities let the student runs the school for one day without any adult at school....no?...yes!!....obviously impossible, right?

BTW on 1st May we were at Tampines celebrating b'day for the 3 juniors...Baby Ikah, Izz and Nur. Met some new/old people, more food to eat, party games.....and last but not least, BINGO!! I guess everyone was having fun. Thanks to my mid Sis and company made an endless effort to organise this party...MUAAHHH!!
