Pusat Sains Negara

The boys were in need of something to do so we took them to the National Science Center :)

Yesterday was a bit tough for me

I was a bit tired when I woke up. Earlier than usual. Shu told me that the old man who worked at Yusuf's school (Pak Cik Ghazali) passed away on the day of the school concert.

It made me a little sad because when we first enrolled Yusuf, he was the first person we met. He took care of the gate area for people and kids going in and out of the school compound. He's a nice old man. He remembers the kids and whose cars to whose parents.

He was not around since a few weeks back. We were wondering what happened to him but never got around asking the other teachers. It turned out to be that he was sick and unconscious and he finally passed away.

A few nights back, I was having a hard time sleeping. Must have been a caffeine kick. I was thinking about everyone I knew whom had passed away. I was thinking how bad things got for some before they died. People can be evil.

Anywho, being here and now, living among people who are actually working hard, I began to realize that the coffee I drink every other day may be someone else's luxury price tag.

It sucks to know that shit is so bad that people are working so hard just to survive. Things like coffee can be luxurious. What the fuck am I complaining about?

Yusuf's Annual School Concert

Never thought I'd live to this day but we attended Yusuf's school concert today. I was so excited because the props and the stage was awesome. The background music was captivating and the costumes were colorful and vibrant and cute. The kids were all so cute. I must say, the teachers are very dedicated people. I'm so glad that we decided to enroll Yusuf in this school.

TMNT

Hahahaa......
Finally decided to take the kids to Sunway Lagoon theme park. Yusuf is all grown up now and is able to go down the water slides on his own. We had so much fun splashing around and going up and down the slides.

I also made it a point to wait for the Ninja Turtles meet and greet because I know how much Yusuf loves the show. His reaction never fails to surprise me. He couldn't get  over how surreal it was to see all four of the turtles and their ShellRaiser garbage truck.

Also, this is one of my favorite months of the year >_<

It's HALLOWEEN month!!! 

To be my father

I was telling Shu how I'm slowly becoming my dad as I grow older. He said he's noticed it all along.

My dad was the type of guy who'd expect the dining table to be set properly upon serving meals. Glass of water. Fork and spoon. Serviettes. Elbows off the table. Sit up straight. Chew with your mouth closed.

He's also the one who would expect my bed to be tidied upon waking up. He taught me how to sweep the floor properly. How to hold onto a pencil properly.

I could never raise my kids the way he raised me. But I can still use everything he's ever taught me growing up. Carpentry and tools to fix things. How to plan properly and how to drive properly.

So........

My mum threw a little celebration for Hamza and Safiyya last week...... Friends and family showed up. People whom I grew up with and people whom I haven't seen in a while. People I love.

During the same event, Azizi decided to send in Ali Imran's photo for a casting session for MAS which happened today.

It's not easy getting him to smile or put the life jacket on but we tried. Azizi also got Yusuf a slot only to get his name registered to the agency that did the casting.

After work, Azizi took the kids to watch aeroplanes land.
