Oh Singapura

Recently we went on a road trip to Singapore but this time without Kancil's help (our close friend who works there). We used the GPS to navigate us to get there. This would be our second trip to Singapore. Even though Singapore its not so far away but its a country with its modern buildings and ways compared to Malaysia. I always like to observe each country that I travel and make a comparison but in a good way. My husband says there is no wrong or right way a country should be. Its just that we are different in cultures, language and customs. I try to always educate my family especially both of my sons to respect people cultures that way they know how important it is to take care of their own.
Singapore from the history part we know what its used to be but what I like about it is that eventhough its a modern country it treasures what we once shared before...especially the food and its cultures. We had a great weekend. It was a free and easy outing. We hang around Orchard road eating our block ice cream which was actually very yummy and costs only $1. We went to Jurong Bird Park. Studio M hotel had a given us a unique experience because its room its not any ordinary hotel room that we have stayed before. Our last day we went to Sentosa and bought chocolates and candies. 

you win some you lose some..

Its been a while since I've updated my blog. A lot of things happened which I am not able to express it into words. As usual my life it gets hectic during the first 6 months of the year. The other 6 months hopefully will be smoother. So I will lose some but will win some..either way I'll always try my best to be the best. Alhamdullilah I've made it thru' half of 2011 not that everything went as I planned but I am always grateful for the outcomes. Still trying and struggling as a working mom and teacher. I try most of the time to just stay calm even though there have been outbursts but its still normal to me. I am so looking forward to be goin' back home during this coming school holiday. Can't wait to be meeting with my family and eating my favorite food.
For now I can only pray for the best in life..insyAallah...and the best for my husband and kids..so we will be one happy family:) oh yeah one more thing I almost forgot... Happy Mother's day to all moms out there..

Happiness

Happy ness or Happiness. I watch a movie based on this word. It was a true story.The moral of the story was to never give up. I guess I always implemented that in my life but for reason some people they're not so happy to see other people's happiness because  I think they think they're the only one in the world who had a  miserable life. I'm not saying I have a perfect life but my motto is if you have nothing good to say just say nothing at all. I can't help to think that making negative comments of other people's success will make their life more miserable or do they feel good about themselves. I don't think you'll gain anything by doing that....but I know for sure your hurting others without you even thinking about it. Just imagine if somebody did that to you or to your children or people that you care about wouldn't you feel sad.. only a  man or a woman without a heart wouldn't feel a thing but we all have hearts and feelings...so next time when you say something ...think twice about it. It might hurt people deeply than you think..who doesn't want to be happy right????

Going Places

Just got back from our dream vacation London and Paris. The one we've planned for almost 8 years since we got married. We made the decision to go and this would be just the right time, Aqif is 7 and Naufal is 3. We had the best time of our lives. The best part was spending 24 hours with the kids, day and night things you take for granted sometimes when your a working mom like me. The boys had well and good exposures on about traveling. I think we rode every possible public transportations there is you name it for example just to name  a few of them; the underground trains, the bullet train, the bus, the black cab , the coach and etc... Never  I thought it would happen especially our trip to Paris. I've dreamt of going since I was a little girl. Dreaming of going there for my honeymoon...of course that didn't happen. But its true what people say be patience..insyaAllah with a little bit of determination you'll get there. The secret is only you can make it happen because it's your dream. So my advise don't wait for the fruit to fall from the tree..Just do it. Now I sound like the Nike ad.hehehe

Another fruitful thing happen in this trip was my kids get to go to Disneyland, my dad brought me to Disneyworld  Florida when I was 10, so I made an oath to bring my kids and alhamdulillah we were able too.I felt so happy and on top of that it snowed in Disneyland Paris. Aqif  and Naufal was so excited when they saw snow falling down. It was the same first experience when I saw my first snow through a window and early in the morning before the sun came out.it was such a remarkable experience it brings back memories. Oh Allah has given me so much I thought alhamdulillah....

Now I'm chasing another dream of course to go to Mecca the holy land insyaAllah...but after that I'm going for another destination.!!I need to complete this phrase  LONDON, PARIS, NEW YORK...and the only place I've not been to is TOKYOOOOO....hehehe insyaAllah ...me the dreamer..!!!!

Therapy Getaway

 Really released the stress this weekend at the same time rewarding Aqif for his  achievement  in school. I am  so proud of him. I hope he knows it.

I guess its our ritual visit to Port Dickson when we're so tired of the same routine and food in Melaka and when it gets hectic at work. We haven't been at the beach for a long time. The last time we went Adik was only 3 months old. 

We stayed at Thistle fomerly known as Guoman. The Hotel had great swimming pool facilities and it has a private beach, that was the best part having the beach for yourselves. FYI, I don't really like the beach that much..I don like the sands. It gets sticky on your hands and clothes but I let everything loose for this weekend by enjoying the smell of the sea, wind and the sun with my boys. Oh they loved it. They didn't even want to go home. 

The beach reminds me of the times when my dad used to bring us to the beach when  my sisters, brothers and I were little. I love just floating on the water and looking at the bright blue sky and just thinking of nothing and  my head is up in the clouds. 

I think we will go back and stay here again just because it was so relaxing, fun and the stress just wears out here but most importantly the boys loved the beach.....and spending time with them is a bliss....
