Tudung is "cover" in Malay....and in this context - real experiences makes a tudung real. It is not just a piece of cloth on your head - it is the person who wears it which matters.... this is about me - the person wearing the tudung......

To add to their resumes.....
Last Sunday i attended my kids' khatam quran and hari anugerah cemerlang for KAFA AZZAHRAWAN. This year it was held at Kiara Equestarian....
This year memang surrender ! I was too tired and exhausted to prepare anythng for the girls.....thank Allah for other mothers who had the time to help source for clothes for my Fiqa & Ameera. Turned out quite nice actually.....although the only tudung i could find were the white bawal with sharowski worn with the tudung T small Munawwarah.
This year Fiqa and Ameera khatam Quran for the fourth time....a record for Ameera who actually khatam every year since Standard One. ALhamdullillah..memang tabiklah this kids......
They all did fairly well..even my ever-active Aisha who got 3rd place in her class (we shall not go into detail about her academic results...enuf said that she was almost put in another class.....but is still in 3 Tekad....). Ameera got first place and Fiqa got 2nd. Hmm..whatever it is this year memang ummi tak larat nak tolong study..so congrats girls, you did a good job!
Fiqa also got her UPKK results and cert...8As....alhamdullilah....
AND she was also awarded Murid Cemerlang for KAFA 2008 - the highest award for the KAFA every year.
I enjoyed the show as well....the girls sang and did a pantomine - but the little boys were the ones who really took the show....hmmm..me not having little boys of my own...memang comel betul the boys and their boria and their choral speaking. TAK LARAT!!!!!!!!
All in all - well done girls......ummi is happy for you........

Negativity
It's funny how so many people..especially orang Melayu...are so fast in jumping to conclusions which are very negative.
We have this really bad habit of forgetting that we do not see the whole picture before we make assumptions...(usually negative ones).
Maybe we should start a new habit of making excuses for people...sangka baik....if someone seems rude and grouchy..maybe it is just a bad day for them. Maybe she is ill or has a big major problem.......
We can't expect everyone to be bright and chirpy everyday. Some major problems are just too big to make dissappear in public.
I suppose bad drivers are like that coz they are all rushing to get to the nearest toilet (?!).
Little toddlers throw tantrums and misbehave coz nobody seems to understand what they want (and why is mummy taking so long to shop.....)
I have people complaining that i don't answer their comments and ideas in my blogs......but darlings.....there is only so much i can do...and this internet line can be extremely unreliable.....half way through a long friendly letter, suddenly the internet kapoots......so instead just drop three worded answers..dah orang kat sombong.....
When i walk into the shop, baru kena marah dengan boss or staff buat hal or my poor back is killing me...tak sempat nak senyum dah kena marah stock tudung tak cukup.........bila tak senyum balik,customer kata sombong...Waduh.....
But i suppose that is customer service for you......nak tak nak kena senyumlah, walaupun sambil tahan sakit belakang yang teramat......
Not aiming this at anyone, but just telling myself, sometimes some people see a side of you when you are not ready and may judge you for life........maybe we should start giving people chances to prove that their bad side was just a passing incident on a certain day.....making excuses for all the bad behaviour we see........or is it coz we are in a bad mood - apa orang buat semua salah......hmmm....another topic to think about.....
Wallahu'alam...

Results....
Hmm..
This is my first "major exam" results experience.
Oh..next to the UPKK results last year....
UPSR.
After the exams, asked Fiqa "How was it?"
She (being Fiqa) said " We will wait for the results lah....".
I suppose being politically correct...if she said "easy" - the results may not show it....if she said "difficult"- it would keep us worried to the end....so stick to what is safe..typical Syafiqa.
Anyway, when they announced results coming out today....i told my hubby - we cancel all appointments for Thursday morning and be there to get the results.
"Must go ke?" he said.
Well, i am hardly there for any school activity - the least i could do is be there for her results.
Hmm....to make a long story short..the school did better then last year and 37 kids got 5As.....and Fiqa was one of them squealing and jumping up and down on stage......Alhamdulillah.
After the results were announced, i hugged her. and she said "My friends like your handbag....".
Ehem.....what do i expect from Fiqa......
When i left her, she was being interviewed by the school photographer....
Next in line
Ameera's UPKK in 2009
Ameera's UPSR in 2010,
Aisha's UPKK in 2011,
Fiqa's PMR in 2011,
Aisha's UPSR in 2012,
Ameera's PMR AND Fiqa's SPM in 2013.
Ehem....then we start the little ones...Maryam and Baby Adik........
