Selamat Ulangtahun Perkahwinan Yang Pertama Untuk Fiza dan Ezani

Happy Wedding Anniversary to both of year. Alhamdullillah, hari ini genaplah setahun kamu berdua diijab kabulkan. Ayah berdoa agar hari hari yang bakal dilalui tidak kurang bahagia hari hari yang telah dilangkaui. Terjamahi kesyukuran kamu kepada Allah s.w.a. dengan sentiasa mendekati diri kepadaNya serta jangan jemu memohon kepadaNya untuk kebahagiaan, kesihatan dan rezeki yang berterusan.

Dalam sesebuah rumahtangga, cabaran dan ujian adalah lumrah. You are both matured adults, hadapi liku liku hidup dengan penuh hemat, hormati di antara satu sama lain dan give and take where necessary. Ayah doakan permohonan pertukaran tempat kerja diluluskan pada semester depan for you to be with your hubby. After being together for 27 years it's easy for ayah dan mak to let you go, but you are married now, kami redha pemergian kamu dan doakan agar kamu berdua terus bahagia. Please be cautioned, you get to see each other all the time then .... the good, the bad and the ugly.....

Congrats Ilah

The company that interviewed her 2 days ago called her yesterday. She was accepted and need to report for work on Monday. Barely two weeks at home and she's out again..... and this time to be in the real world. Congrats me dear, give your best. There'll be a lot challenges and obstacles but ayah positive that you'll bulldozed them all.

Call a driving instructor after on getting your first pay, you need to polish that rusty driving licence of yours.

job interviews

Hari ni jadi chauffer Ifa dan Ilah pergi interview. Pagi pagi bawa Ifah ke Putrajaya untuk temuduga terbuka Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia. Punyalah ramai anak anak yang datang. Di Putrajaya, temuduga berlangsung selama seminggu, dari Monday hingga Friday esok. Mengikut seorang rakan wartawan, bilangan yang datang semalam adalah lebih kurang 8,000 orang. Hari hari lain, agaknya lebih kurang begitu juga. Bayangkan, temuduga dibuat disemua negeri, berapa punya ramai yang bersesak sesak datang untuk berebut tak sampai pun 600 kekosongan (kontrak pula tu).

Yang pelik dan ajaibnya, pemohon diminta mengemukakan sijil PMR dan UPSR (tak disebut pun dalam iklan). So, ramailah yang berduyun duyun balik kerana dokumen tak lengkap. Sijil UPSR untuk kerja yang memerlukan ijazah? Tak faham, tak faham, tak faham.....

Ilah pula pergi interview dengan satu consultant company di Puchung. Should get the answer by Monday. Tunggu lah.

Not really an update.

Basically this spot is meant family members but as I've refered friends here, might as well give an introduction.

Met my wife Zaitun in Kuala Kangsar in 1979 and tied the knot some 2 years later. The family is now made of us, our 5 daughters and son-in-law.

Kelima lima anak aku punya peribadi yang berbeza. Even the the pair of twin, the last two, pun punya kepala yang tak serupa. However, each carries a part of me.

Hafiza, 27, the eldest, married to Mohd Ezani last year is very much into sport and outdoors. She's involved in tennis, hockey, futsal, swimming, aerobic, sailing (at one time) and of course jungles and mountains. On completion of her SPM, the direction was clear, to do Sains Sukan in UiTM.

On completion of her diploma in 1992, she pursued for Pendidikan in the same school, majoring in Sukan dan Kesihatan. On graduation, work a short stint with Malaysian Fitness Council than later took teaching in Sekolah Menengah Pandang Indah, KL. She's one happy teacher now. Mana tak, pergi kerja pakai track suit. Besides ngajar sukan, s he's in-charge of koko and a scout teacher for the school. She is also the Hulu Langat assistant scout commissioner. The scouting part was from me. The sport? I was sprinter when I was in form 1 and 2 but had to give up as my height ceased to increase at 14. On some school holidays, when she's supposed to spend time with her hubby, she took her students for camping and went for the Jamboree in JB. (I was a scout for five years but couldn't afford the jamboree thing). .... should I join the senior scout? My twin who were with Kadet Remaja last year were also lured to join scout by her.

She's still with us in Kajang now, most probably until mid of this year. She had applied to be with her husband who is a planter with Sime Darby Estates near Kuala Selangor.

Mahmood's Family

Supposed she deliver this month la..May 2009. 1st date doc kata middle of May, but last checkup doc kata 4th May..it was yesterday!!!

Zaitun's 52nd Birthday

May 1, 2009 was Zaitun's 52nd birthday. But throughout the day, nothing happened. No wishes or sms from the kids. Kebetulan hari tu beliau sibuk membuat persediaan untuk kedatangan bakal besan pada malam nanti, so tak pastilah dia perasan ke tidak. She may be wondering tak kan anak anak nya lupa, after all the whole is world on holiday!.

Lepas bakal besan dan keluarga balik, tiba tiba lights went off and out came the birthday cake, ballons, birthday banner, followed with the birthday song from those present. Barulah tersenyum lebar maknya.

May 1, 2009

Malam tadi keluarga tunang Ifah datang untuk menetapkan tarikh majlis resepsi perkahwinan bakal pengantin. Keluarga kedua belah pihak bersetuju yang tarikh resepsi sebelah perempuan ialah pada hari Ahad 6 Disember 2009. Tarikh resepsi sebelah lelaki pula ialah samada hari Sabtu 5 Disember 2009 atau hari Ahad minggu berikutnya.

Jika resepsi lelaki dibuat pada Disember 5, ini kira memecah tradisi kerana lazimnya resepti dibuat sebelah perempuan dahulu. But memandang kedua belah memepunyai saudara mara dari luar daerah, it seems a better option. Nikah hari Jumaat, resepsi lelaki hari Sabtu dan resepsi perempuan hari Ahad --- sekali jalan. Tak nampak obviuos sangat kerana resepsi perempuan dibuat didewan dan jarak rumah lelaki dan perempuan juga tidak jauh.

Kami telahpun booked Dewan Melati, Perbadanan Putrajaya, tempat yang sama seperti majlis resepsi Fiza dulu. So you out there please take note of the date.
