So, the school holiday have ended just like that... pheww...

School session has started, and it's by far quite a good start..

I just want to recap just a little bit on our not so much of activities during school holiday, but yet it's one of the most cherishable moments. I loved this time around school holiday, because not only for the fun we had together, but also how things fell to places accordingly, and how I have finally moved on with hubby's new nature of job that is: "missing a lot of times 😜"

It's ok now, I'm used to that, I even learned that separation is a good thing... through that we learned that love knows not its own depth until the hours of separation.. and also we treasure every single moment together because we don't have so much anyway..

So, right at the beginning of the school holiday, we went for a movie. Kids wanted so much to watch Agent Ali The Movie, at first I was like: "Really? Agent Ali? Me watching Agent Ali?"

This can't be real, Agent-agent thing is really not my cup of coffee 🙄🙄🙄 

Nevertheless, given that it was school holiday, Fatini did well in her end of year examination, and for the kids to have fun, I relented, and agreed to it...

But in my mind, I was like trying to figure out what to do during the movie?

Maybe I should read a novel? But of course the cinema is dark, it's not possible to read anything right?

So I decided to just watch the movie along... or if I find it too boring, I would read something on my phone. 😅 

But, surprise surprise, to my amazement, I couldn't even blink during the movie haha...

Ok common, stop exaggerating.. 🙄

But, seriously, the movie was really good, it has all the elements needed to make a great movie, it has non stop actions, it has comedy in it, plot twist, interestingly narrated that i think it achieved the standard of International movies, and last but not least, it plays with people's emotions, until I was soooo close to tears... 😥

Really, with the song and everything...

It was one of the best movie I've ever watched, and thanks to my kids for insisting... 😘😘😘

Two thumbs up for Agent Ali The Movie 👍👍

I don't mind if I have to watch it over and over again hihi...

Ok enough of that...

Next....

We spent lots of times doing some preparations for next year...

The kids as always, so obedient 😏

Then hubby had to go to China for work, he'd been gone for a week... so me and the kids and some other family members joined my mom, we went to Taiping Perak for a kenduri.

It's really really nice to get together with family members.. ❤❤❤

We rented a very nice apartment, see that nice and wonderful view of Taiping...

We went to night safari, the kids really really loved it!!! Although I was extra tired that night, but seeing them happy and enjoying the night safari, my tiredness somehow subsided... 😏

See? 

The animal lovers got the spirit!!

She's super energetics!

The apartment got a nice swimming pool, we went swimming the next morning before we headed back to KL.

Swimming with cousins 😊

We stopped by the beatiful and famous lake garden, I'm sure everyone is aware of the existance of this super beautiful Taman Tasik Taiping 🥰

I would love to go again someday...

Nice right???

Ahah! 

And apart from that, since hubby was still in China then, me and the kids decided to just stay at my mom's home until hubby got back. 

It turned out that hubby had another place to go after he got back from China, so we had extra time at my mom's alhamdulillah! 😚😚😚

Then, coincidently, my mom's birthday fell on that same week, so we had the chance to celebrate together.. it was so memorable 🥰

The kids made a card each for their tok 😉

Then hubby finally return after one week plus, and still he had another work in KL. Yeay, more time in KL yahoooo!!!

I love my hometown so much!!

So, hubby got a hotel room, the kids just wanted to spend times at their tok's house with their cousins, hotel room and a TV and swimming pool seemed to be nothing compared to their tok's house hihi 😆

I wonder why 🤔

Suits them, whatever that makes them happy.

So, it was just me and hubby to stay at the hotel hihi...

At first, I felt like something was not right, I felt so empty, oh I realized why, everywhere I go, everything I do, has always been with the kids... their absence somehow made me feel like something wasn't right.. something was missing...

But I quickly scrapped all those feelings away, I needed to take this opportunity to refresh our relationships and marriage.

Treat this like a honeymoon! 😄

Right??

So, we went out together, just the two of us, like on a date... the hotel was very near to KLCC, so we went for a walk, hand in hand, awwwww so romantic 😚😚😚😚 

We rarely had the chance to be on a date like this, except of course, we went on a breakfast date quite often... but, going out at night like this, the opportunity don't come often...

We had late night roti canai at a nearby Mamak's stall, surprisingly a crowded place considering it was night time... 

Kl just don't sleep I guess...

We got back to hotel room afterwards, and I felt soooo much better by then.. 

I kinda enjoy our times together, just the two of us, just like old times 🥰🥰🥰

Maybe we should repeat again next time 😁😁😁

The next day, I couldn't resist the temptation to take the kids to the very nice swimming pool..

Hubby had some work to do, so he left me at the hotel room, I decided to walk to the LRT station in KLCC and took a train and walked to mom's home. It was just about 10 to 15 minutes walk from my mom's house. 

Hey don't worry, I've always loved excercising!

Alhamdulillah I made it to mom's home safely, and quickly I asked the kids to get ready..

We're going swimming!!!!

So the journey via LRT to KLCC and a short walk to the hotel began jeng jeng jeng... 🙃🙂🙃🙂 

The kids are all so excited to get on the train.. 😁😄 

Oh by the way, on the most left is my niece. She is the same age as Aleena 😊

See, how excited!

And quite kecoh 😆😆

In front of KLCC...

We reached the hotel room at about 1.00pm. Nice room huh?

We spent a few minutes resting after a tiring journey, we waited for Zuhur, then we all got dressed in our swimming attire and off we went, not to forget, excitedly hihi...

Hmmmmm, they had sooo much fun...

Alhamdulillah...

Happy to see them happy....

That was the end of it...

The next day, we headed back to our home in Pekan, only to find what a mess around the house had been...

The unsweep porch, the messy garden for all the weeds that had grown over the almost two weeks away from home...

Ok, back to work mode the next day...

Enough of holiday hihi...

But alhamdulillah for everything...

Some people don't even get the chance.. 😢

Anyway, the next day, Afeef's PT3 results was out too, and I will write about that in my next post innshaAllah... 

Ahah, we got home only to find one papaya had grown so well on one of the papaya tree Aleena had planted. This one in the picture is extra special, because Aleena had planted the tree, about 3 years ago, she picked one seed from a papaya we bought at the market. She was just experimenting actually, the seed somehow sprowted after a few days, she got all excited about it, took care of it, she watered it everyday, until one day, she started neglecting it, and I was about to discard it, but Aleena refused, and she insisted on taking care of it again, I told her I suspected that it was a male papaya tree that it won't bear fruits.. but still, she loved the tree so much because she planted it herself, so, ok I gave in, I helped water it too sometimes, and it kept growing but was fruitless... I was already convinced that the tree was a male papaya tree that it won't bear fruit, when all of a sudden, after almost 3 years, it suddenly started flowering!!!! 

There in Aleena's hand, was the first fruit we picked during the end of school holiday..

Aleena was super excited about this first fruit from the tree she had planted 3 years ago, that she even gave the fruit a name 😆😆😆

It's called, "Orange"

And mind you, it is not an orange, it is papaya hihi..

Ok whatever, so the tree now is starting to continuously producing more fruits, alhamdulillah...

InnshaAllah we'll get more betik from our own trees... 😁

So, that's all for a school holiday story, not much, but I treasure it so dearly..

Alhamdulillah for everything...

Till later...

Salam..
