Trial n Error

Farewell for our Pengerusi Puspanita, Datin Seri Faridah was held at Suk banquet hall on the 13th January. The guest of honour for the day was Yang Amat Mulia Raja Puan Muda Perak, Raja Mahani  Raja Shahar Shah. We'd also invited our 'penaung puspanita', wife of the Mentri Besar, Datin Seri Saripah  Zulkifli....
Though there were a few unforeseen error, the shows performed  by the ahli2 puspanita had saved the day....The 'Golden girls' that's what we called ourselves had done a very good job in entertaining the guest by dancing to the bollywood beats n flirting in the beautiful colours of sarees...Yup! it was awesome..there were big applause n hoorays from the ladies crowd....maklum le makcik2 yg perform mane tak gamat dewan!
Semuanye itu adalah kenangan manis ku yg.masih lagi ahli yang aktif...come to think of it bagus juga... at least my leisure time is occupied....entah le bila dah pencen nanti i dont think i'll be as active as now.
Dulu masa anak2 ku masih kecil n my hubby was sick, my attention was fully on them n my home...memang tak ada masa langsung for other things...tapi bila semua nye dah membesar, my  other half pun dah succesfully underwent kidney transplant  n thanks to my hardworking , trust worthy maid, my life has change completely...so now give me a break ok ...let me laugh a little, ya...he..he..he..
Seriously.....being one of the ahli this is part of my contribution to the society.....
Dont get me wrong ya...Puspanita  is not about entertaining only...that was just some part of it. Other than that we do have activities of  social works like giving contribution to the orphanage, the poor etc.
Besides that, we've organised  seminars n courses  to upgrade our knowledge in religion,  health, grooming, computers,cooking n many more....

"HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR"........

 Saturday was such a hectic day for my faiz n dira....they were driving from 6.30 to 11am just to get to
  Ipoh from KL...imagine all that long hours in the car.The best part is when they tried to avoid the jam by going to the old road n walla the cars were all bumper to bumper...kesian anak2 mama....
On the eve of CNW, we took the children to an exhibition of Perak Sultanate at the Town Hall. It's a good exposure for the younger generation to know about the origin of  Sultans n their lines....
We should educate our chidren about our cultures n heritage... But like many other teenagers,my youngest son, lukman , was saying  ma "do we have to go.... we can get the info of the sultanate or whatever from the inter-net " Huh! the new era of tecnology is making everyone to be so anti social....












dira, hubby, me n faiz

There were sounds  like thunder storm that very night ........prom pom pompom...prom pom pompom.....roaring in the late night. Well as usual on the eve of every chinese new year n even the nights after that we will be able to hear this same thunderous sound.....i guess that's one of their ways of enlightening their happy year... Same goes with the malays we have this 'panjut' or a number of lights put in small tin cases n we arrange them decoratively, but it's a bit quieter this way!  Any way wish all the chinese 'HAPPY NEW YEAR'. May the year be prosperous N JOYFUL !

Happiness is.....

Nothing  is more satisfying than to be spending precious time with  our children especially  when    some of them are no longer staying with us...
My second son ,Faiz has just been offered a job in KL n will be staying with his eldest sister, Dira. Though it should be great news, but i feel suddenly old n lonely...dah besar anak mama. And even  then my youngest son is staying away from home in UITM, Bkt. Mertajam. I know that someday they'll be flying out from their nest...leading their own lives....but being a mother sometimes it do hurt inside....( my children are the apples of my eyes ).

During the Christmas holidays, the whole family  were in KL...spending as much  time together as possible. As usual one of the outing is of course  shopping lah (hah! i cant help that ) It's the year end sale!!

On the 31st.December, we had a 'doa selamat n kesyukuran' at our home. A great way to end the year of  2011. We'd invited very close family n relatives only...it's sort of saying thank you to Allah for all the  good things that are offered in our lives thru out the years...'syukur alhamdullilah'............
HAPPY NEW YEAR!....may it be a good year for everyone,insyallah......
