Old friends popping up....

It's funny how your past catches up on you....

Over the past few days, people i have thought of many times over the last few years have all popped up again in my life....of course with the notorious Facebook and the ever reliable blogspot...suddenly 15 years ago ...wait 20 years ago does not seem like too long.

Notwithstanding, i have a twelve year old who stands up right up to my forehead...and a 10 year old who can't wear my shoes coz they are too small.....both who work part time in Munawwarah.....and can help me do laundry and clean the house.

I beg to plead that i don't have friends from kindy days (32 years ago - Zuri have i known you that long?????) and that i graduated 14 years ago!!!!!(1994)....and i have worn tudung (hijab) for 19years! YIKES!What happened to single digit memoirs????

That Form 5 was 20 years ago......why does it all feel like yesterday?

Munawwarah is officially 16 years old....i have been in business for almost 15 years.....

To all the fantastic memories......alhamdullillah.....

And to all the dark and dreary ones...you have been and will be a guide to my future......

Hmm....my 12 year old is on the other computer.....my 10 year old & 8 year old & my 2 year old are sleeping.....and i am thinking about the past......

UPSR countdown....

Salam all..

The final countdown is here.....

My daughter is freaking out ( well, a least i think she is.....)

In 6 days she (and I) will be facing her first big exam......

My advise to her - there is not much more you can cram in in this final days......what you need now is

a) doa - banyakkan amal dan berdoa. Hanya Allah yang boleh bantu kita dalam menempuh ujian dalam hidup ini. Kalau kita dah pandai dan dah faham semua benda, kalau kita tak mintak ehsan Allah, anything can go wrong.

b) be on your best behaviour - to all around you. Your adik beradik, your family, your parents.........animals, alam sekitar...everything..jangan aniaya orang.....

c) don't be arrogant, sombong or overconfident...be calm and pray that all that you have learnt directly and indirectly can be applied to your exams

d) good health..kurangkan minum ais and cold drinks - nanti tak sihat......susah nak focus dalam exam. DOn't play in the rain or hot sun.....rest if you are tired.

e) Less storybooks ( but Fiqa claims the books help her creative streak while doing BM essays.....)

f) Loads of doa from all family members.....

Oh well......in the long run, doakan yang terbaik for our kids.......
