Guests from Switzerland

Loving couple Albert & Faritha

This is what i served my guests from Switzerland, Rice Dumpling a.k.a. Bak Chang.

Gema takbir disubuh hari

Kesedihan menyelubungi diri ku mengingati bagaimana perubahan itu belaku dengan sekelip mata apabila Dia menghendaki nya. Sekelip pemergian arwah bapa ku tersayang, sekelip kedatangan Ramadan dan sekelip menjelmanya Syawal.....Gema takbir disubuh hari mengingatkan aku kesemua, betapa indah nya dunia ini Allah ciptkan untok umat Nya yang dikasihi, betapa indah nya itu keluarga untok disayangi....tahun ini aku kehilangan seorang bapa yang tersayang.....semoga Allah cucuri Rahmat dan Rahim Nya ke atas arwah bapa ku.....Ya Allah, kau terang dan lapangkan alam barzakh nya, ampun kan dosa-dosa nya, kasihani lah bapa ku, sesungguh nya bapa ku seorang bapa yang bertanggung jawab terhadap ahli keluarga nya...Amin Ya Rabbal'alamin.

Ouch!!

This is the pathetic blurrr sotong auntie, walk also cannot walk properly hehehe

No Way To Hide

There is no way you can hide from your own hearing, your eyes, or your skins. In fact, you thought that GOD was unaware of much of what you do.

My Uncertainity

Yes, i might be seen smiling and dancing crazily in school....it's just a camouflage to my uncertainity. Feeling very down lately and God knows why. What is there that made me what i'm feeling right now? It's getting from bad to worse lately and i'm not sure whether i could take it anymore. People were saying that i'm crazy for making my life upside down busy by taking the killer course Diploma in Teaching - Leadership, with no intention of becoming a principal. I asked myself that too.....hehehe i just brushed off by saying that i wanna show off. I asked myself again, is that true? Is that the real reason? I'm bullshitting myself. AWARA, your uncertainity is the culprit for what you're doing right now. Am I running away from it by making myself dead busy in order to forget about my uncertainty? Oh please Allah, do give me your guidance and for my mother, my hubby, my brothers and my beloved daughter whom i lay all my hope on. God is trying to wake me up from my slumber life---a perfect picture of a happy family potrait----good looking suave hubby, pretty lovely well behaved child, forever young looking mother with flawless complexion and a tiny winy little cat smiling broadly infront of the camera saying "cheeesseeee" and not knowing that out there someone or somebody is giggling to my stupidity. What is happening to my life with all these uncertainity or should i say that insanity is overtaking my sound mind. That guy is not peeping through my front door key hole anymore, he is now inserting the key in order to invite me out.......Ready or not, i'm coming!!! Oh please God, do let me go peacefully and do let me bring along all the prayers of my only child for my next life companion. Amin!

National Day Parade 2008

Went for NPD 2008 preview at Marina Bay. The fireworks were spectacular. Felt very proud when the GOH marched pass. This is my country

DARK KNIGHTS IN ACTION







FIREWORKS

How I feel Today

I'm not feeling lethargic or sickly or envy but just a feeling of emptiness lately and I wondered why, could be part of going going going gone? Who knows? Like it or not, when it's time for you to go, you follow like a listless soul, unable to do anything but to follow. Useless for your to retaliate, useless for you to beg, useless for you to con, nothing can stop your next journey and soon your new journey begins. Oh dear! beside counting my fingers and toes, the day is peeping through the key hole of my front door. Knock! Knock! ready or not here I come! That phrase I often used when playing with the children and without realising that someone out there will be using it on me, for real soon. Now is the moment when you will say "How I wish and how I wish and how I wish" and that wish will never be granted, TOO LATE MY DEAR SOUL! You either be here or there, left or right, up or down, but I wish to be with my ......... I cant figure out who cos I myself would not know where is my final destination, as I'm accounted for the past , present and future of my actions. I rated myself, no A+, no B nor C or D, just a PASS, I will be contended.

Retribution

I believed in retribution and i really believed in it! So, it was right what Aida once told me...."You dont worry, what goes around will comes around, you just wait and see". Yes! i see it happening today right infront of me............SHE CRIED!! hehehe whatever she did to hurt someone's feeling, she is getting it from someone elses. Not one parent but now there are THREE parents who are not happy of what is going on in the class. But on the other side, i too feel sorry for her as she is in difficult position, as a mother and as a teacher. But what to do, if you think you're way too good and above everybody, this is what you get....RETRIBUTION!!!

I am still on my guard, as she is capable of turning the table not only around, but upside down too.

Photo Taking Session

Today we have photo taking session, class photo, individual photo and staff photo. Nothing special about it, but there is something what they called graded stuff. Teachers sit on the bench, assistant teachers stand behind, no auxilliary staff as they were grouped in another shoot. Unlike for the past many years, all staff regardless of their position in the school grouped together in the same shoot. Haizzz don't know how the story will goes on. Let's stay and watch.

Hoorayyy

Hoorayy...i'm going to the Changi International airport, confirmed flight SQ0345 arrival @ 7.03am Terminal 3 Belt 42.

SQ0345 where r u?

Oh oh... my daughter's flight SQ0345 delayed by one hour, now ETA 7.10am instead of 6.10am. I'm worried that i might not be able to see her upon her arrival as i need to be in school for photo session this early morning 8.15am urggghhh!!!

Anyway, just switched off the stove after 4 hours of cooking dumpling with salted egg yolk in it, one of her favourite.

Bienvenue à la maison d'Anna

Je suis heureux que ma fille est de retour à la maison après avoir été absent pendant un mois et plus. J'espère qu'elle est maintenant sera plus mature, la bienveillance et responsable envers son propre vie et sa famille. Dieu bénisse son.

To Austria?

Spoke to Raihanah, she was in the boarding bay at Zurich Airport. Today then i knew that she went all the way to Austria.....for a day trip. A brave little girl huh? From Switzerland to France to Germany and to Austria, aiyoooo if mummy have the opportunity i will sweep Europe at one go!! but no money lah.

Welcomeホームハンナ

Yeaahhhh.....my beloved daughter will be home tomorrow at 6.10am from Zurich Switzerland.
Bought a beautiful bouquet from Bedok Central to welcome her home - a sunflower surrounded by mixed flowers.
私は幸せなことは帰宅後に私の娘のために1カ月プラスです。彼女は今すぐされるといいの他の中高年、思いやりと責任ある彼女自身の人生と彼女の家族向けです。彼女の神の祝福です。

Bite bite & bite

My dearest daughter Raihanah is now in Berlin.....the world is getting smaller and smaller. One day you're here the next day you'll be on the other part of the world.

Two separate incidents happened in class today. Both incidents involved with the same child. This child is what you may called 'Dracula Junior', as his hobby is nothing but BITE BITE and BITE. There is no way to cover for him today, as his victims are someone who can talk well and relate what happened to them. First victim clearly stated his name who bit her cheek. The second victim mentioned his name too. Well......as the mother of the child, i am sure she is not happy and started to blame someone for what happened. Guess who? Who else but the new relief who helped me in the class. The mother is a person that i came to conclusion today is someone who will never take responsibilities if anything goes wrong and that i called COWARD. Why must the mother accused the relief for what happened. Today is the first day the relief came to our class and i am sure the relief not aware of the Dracula Junior's hobby. The mother of Dracula Junior should take the initiative to prevent such things happened as it seemed that BITE BITE & BITE happened everyday. Where was i when both incidents happened? I was away from the class.

18) Holiday - Day Eighteen (9th June 2008)

18) Day Eighteen (My last day on vacation) - 9th June 2008

Well....everything when there is beginning will be followed by ending. My last day on my impromptu vacation, has comes to the end. Time to bid farewell to Switzerland (a country that i never dreamt that i could afford to go) and here i am bidding goodbye. I am thanful and fortunate to have a friend Faritha and her hubby Albert who accomodate me during my stay here in Switzerland, or else, i dont think i could afford the hotel charges. May Allah blessed them husband and wife with more good fortunes and happiness.

Many thank you to Albert for your hospitality and who acted lke a chaffeur who drove us to Lyon in Paris.

Thank you to my newfound friend Siti, for her eagerness to show us around Zurich on our first day. She really can walk with full speed!!! Anyway, all the best to you and hubby Roger.

17) Holiday - Day Seventeen (8th June 2008)

Strawberries picking time!. I go crazy cos it is my first time in my life I experience picking strawberries and ate it right away. Eat as much as you can, but you have to pay whatever strawberries you bring out. For some, what’s the big deal? But to me it IS a big deal!

Wish that I could share this experience with my husband and daughter.

Mmmmm....so juicy and sweet!!

Back from Erlah, i decided to tour around Sugiez. This is Hotel Delagare, less then 5 minutes walk from Faritha's house.

Sugiez train station

View on the way to Ins

Back from my 'lone ranger' short trip from Sugiez to Ins and back, went to Faritha's neighbour to share the strawberry that we plucked earlier in the day.

All these were made by her husband, a carpenter.

16) Holiday - Day Sixteen (7th June 2008)

16) Day sixteen - 7th June 2008
Went to Biel-Bienne.
Took cable car to Magglingen Macolin. Nothing much to see due to foggy weather, Up there, it is more like a sport school.

A structure found at the top.
