Hepi Mummy’s Day!

Posted on by under Emotions Revealed, Kindred and Lineage

Dear Mama,

I hope you have enjoyed this year’s Mother’s day. I’m sorry that two of your children are not at home to celebrate today with you. We’ll make time for it later on.

I’m not sure how you would have feel today. I’m pretty sure you are happy that you have Along and Adik at home with you and that Jaja and I have both given you a call to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. But, I’m sure today brings you a lot of memories of last year. On Mother’s day you took care of both Ayah and Adik who were down with fever. Adik recovered but not Ayah. We lost him a few days later.

I envy the strength you have in bringing us up. I remembered the time when I was having an asthma attack late at night. You brought me to the clinic at four a.m. and when I wasn’t feeling much better, you took me to the hospital a few hours later. You managed that alone when everyone else was fast asleep.

You were strong in dealing with everything that Ayah has left us. You were even stronger when Ayah was admitted into the ICU at that time. You were strong in every word that you said to lift us up when we were feeling down or when we miss Ayah very much. Today, you were the strongest I have seen. And I believe you will be even stronger in each day yet to come.

Mama,

I am proud to have you as my mom and not anyone else. Thank you for all the love and care that you have given us. Thank you for the roof you have put on our head, for making it as cozy and homey as it should be. Thank you for all the clothes, making us look decent and nice every time. Thank you for all the lovely food you have been feeding us. Thank you for everything.

I love you, Mama. You are always in our hearts. And Ayah’s too.

Happy Mother’s Day!

With lots of love,

Alin

Eighteen

Posted on by under Kindred and Lineage

18 years ago and this is how we looked like. And after 18 years, let’s see how far (and big!) we’ve become.

So, what happened in the duration of that 18 years?

The one on your far left graduated from University of Warwick and is currently working as a revenue analyst. Next to her has undergone matriculation and is currently doing a degree course in Manufacturing Engineering in UTEM, Ayer Keroh. The one in the middle has graduated three times (UTM, UNITEN and IPBA), used to work for a private IT company and now is a primary English school teacher. Next to her is currently doing a diploma/degree (I’m not sure which one) programme in UiTM Shah Alam and has become an uncle to one nephew and three nieces in three years. And on your far right is in her final year in IPBA, has completed her 2nd and 3rd year of her degree course in MARJON and will become a full time primary English teacher next year.

It’s been 18 years or so and I still remember the day Uncle Tamjis took the top picture. And I bet that all five of us wont fit into that swing anymore. We can still try but I doubt it. Hehe.

That’s it.

As for today, there will be no more examinations regarding modules learned in this course. No more. That’s it. Nada. Zero. After five years of hard work, it sort of ends today. There is, actually, one more semester to go, but it consists of no exam and just practicum. The feeling of having no exam or assignments is indescribable. I can say that I am glad it’s over and I think everyone feels the same way too. Sometimes, I think about the things (assignment or revision for the exam) that I need to do tomorrow and I soon realise that there’s nothing. There is this feeling of emptiness, of having nothing to do. It seems that I am used to having such a workload that when I have nothing to do, I feel rather lost. Weird, huh. When it’s there, you can’t wait to get it over and done with, but when it’s gone, you kind of miss it. So that’s it. I am now moving into the real world of teaching at the end of June. Yes, the practicum session is coming soon enough and I have been placed in a school in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, KL. Seems challenging enough, but I’m looking forward for it.

Anyway, I had a really wonderful day today. Great food, great massaging session, great movie, and of course, a really great company. Thank you.

Beads on your Baju Kurung.

Posted on by under Beads Business

I’m doing this entry for my sister, Jaja.

She loves sewing and now she’s into sewing beads on all types of baju kurung. She does this as a means to get away from her lonely life (hua hua hua!) and she would like to take orders from those who are interested. Here are some of the designs.

(A) Price range: RM 40 – 50 (neck and sleeves), RM 25 – 35 (sleeves only)

(B) Price range: RM 90 -100 (neck and sleeves), RM60 (sleeves only)

(C) Price range: RM 90 – 100 (neck and sleeves), RM60 (sleeves only)

(D) Price range: RM 80 -110 (neck and sleeves), RM 40 -80 (sleeves only)

(E) Price range: RM 60 – 80 (neck and sleeves), RM 40 -50 (sleeves only)

(F) Price range: RM 30 – 40 (neck and sleeves), RM 20 (sleeves only)

Note:

(1) The design is subject to change based on the print of the baju kurung.

(2) The price is subject to change depending on the type and amount of beads used.

The designs are all beautiful and pretty. I’m not simply saying this because she is my sister. She has sewed beads on my baju kurung as well, and people do like what she has done. She has paid extra attention on the details of the design making her design very neat and, err, detailed. (I just can’t find words to describe, :p)

If you are interested in having beads on your baju kurung, do email her at: alizazy[at]gmail[dot]com

Thank you.

Don’t worry, it is still the same author and the same content. Nothing has changed. Well, maybe the title and the layout. But, hey, it’s still me.

From now on, I will only be blogging from here. Unless, if at any time, I feel like blogging at thelilmindofmine.

See you around!
