This Is It!!!

It was indeed a very long day for me today.

I was already at the school compound around 10.15am. A few other parents were already there waiting. Yes, the day that we all had been waiting for…. D Day.

I was seriously nervous. A text message came from Nasreen’s teacher informing me that the results would be out by 11.30am. Wow… more than an hour to go. Nasreen is having an eye infection so the doctor advised her to be quarantined at home… and there I was, waiting for the result on her behalf… and experiencing a total nervous breakdown. I was walking back and forth, my palms were cold and white like The Cullens, I had goose bumps all over… “this is worse that getting married”, I was saying to myself. Lucky to the wonderful (and gelabah) mothers like me – Sha, Riz and CT, I tried to calm down. Later Nik came from office to join me.
More than 1 hour passed by….. when they called Nasreen’s name a few times, I hurriedly ran to the stage in front of the student hall, waving and shouting… here! here! here! ….. macam celebrity nak ambik award lah kata nya… hehehe

When I got to the front, I quickly grabbed the result slip from the Headmistress and turned around to walk away. Slowly, with trembling hands, I found the courage to open the slip… and I couldn’t read the As on the slip. It was so blurry and I tried to count, but later I lost count. I stopped and turned around… I walked back to the group of teachers and asked….. “Cikgu, berapa A ni?” they laughed and shouted…”5A tu… 5A tu.. Tahniah! Tahniah!” my jaw dropped and I said….”Really????” They quickly responded… ”Iyeeee!!!” (they must have thought that I am an illiterate!)… hahaha

Happiness swept me off my feet and I felt like I was walking on air as I walked back to Nik who was standing calmly (forever calm dia ni) at the back of the hall. I was smiling ear to ear, with tears in my eyes. What happened after that… was sweet memories for us. SMSs and calls flooding in and I found that I didn’t have enough fingers to type messages…. Nik was busy making calls too.

Yes, she scored 5As in her UPSR. Thanks to all her teachers and most importantly, thank God for this rezeki. Nasreen did well in this exam and we’re the proudest parents today.

We love you girl!

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...
