Fatini's 1st drawing class and a snowfall :)

The last two weeks had been a hard one for me, the temperature had dropped far below the freezing point. The worst was -20 deg !!! And it drove me crazy, especially in the morning where I found myself shivering uncontrollably inside my own house !!! And my own hand felt numb...

Nevertheless, all activities went on as usual, and Fatini's first drawing class started last week. We've noticed this drawing talent in her earlier that we've decided to register her for a drawing lesson.

So, last week, I had to take her for her 1st class while it was freezing outside..

It was so cold, that I felt like I just wanna give up taking her to her 1st class, we were halfway there when suddenly the snow fell from the sky...

It was one of the most wonderful and memorable sight..

And suddenly, all the unbearable coldness receded :)

There, Fatini inside her class :)

I imagined the far worst situation, like she wuld cry and begged me to accompany her there, like what had happened on her 1st and 2nd day at dance class..

But, she proved me wrong, she behaved sooooo well, didn't even ask me to stay, in fact, she even told me to go home !!!

She'd even picked up a few new Deutsch words !!

Look, she didn't even give me the last look before I left.. hehe..

Actually, I didn't really leave her there, her classroom was so near to the library, so I, Afeef and Aleena went there for a wyle, while waiting for Fatini to finish.

We've arrived a lil bit early, actually there's more kids in this class, I think about 8 kids :)

And...

On the way home, the kids were all soooo excited to see everything covered in snow, well, I myself was so sure that there won't be anymore snow for this winter.. I had given up hope for the snow to fall..

And suddenly, there it was...

God's will :)

Throwing snow into the air :)

All white...

Cool..

And, paling tak tahan, hahaha, aksi guling2 atas snow ni wajib tiap2 tahun :)

Still was not enough to make a snowman, but... enough for the kids to play with :)

And at home, papa asked to see what she did in drawing class,

And...

tadaaaaaaa...

For a 4 year old and a 1st class, I think it is super super wonderful !!

I kissed her 10 times on the cheek for her great art work and for behaving so well !!

Gut gemacht Fatini !!

And, this is what she painted on her 2nd day at drawing class this week...

Both me and hubby think it's great that we've decided to hang it on the wall hehe..

Ok, ok, i'll get a nice frame for it..

An extra special memory from Deutschland :)

What a happy and nice Winter...

Till later, salam...

:)

Another Friend's Visit :)

Oh, it's been a week since their visit to our place, and only now that I'm able to write about them... ???

mmmm... what are my excuses ??

Actually, it's been a busy week, with Fatini and her first day at drawing class, with me being totally engrossed in a Novel, and also trying a new song on piano, and trying new recipe, haha..

Macam2 hehe..

Anyway, Noorul, Idham and little Adam were our special guest last Sunday... :)

Idham had been here in Zweibrucken, Deutchland for a while now, and Noorul and little Adam were here for two weeks to visit Idham and will join him later for good, insyaAllah..

I had known Noorul a few months back thru Facebook, she had written bout how we first knew each other, you can read it HERE.

So, for the past two weeks, they were all happily reunited !! :)

And I took the chance to meet Noorul and little Adam !!

And, lets see what I've cooked for the day, mmmm...

Ikan keli tu yg sebelah kiri skali hehe, but I asked them first if it's ok for me to serve them ikan keli and I got green light from Noorul, then only I went to Asian shop and looked for 'Ikan keli'. Next to it is ayam percik, sayur and lastly the very special 'Ayam golek'..

Ayam golek was specially cooked by Idham and Noorul and they brought it over with them, and it tasted super delicious, seriously, and thanx very much to them :)

Meal time !!

Little Adam with his goodie bag :)

And little Aleena busy bodying... hehe

Adam and Aleena watching Upin & Ipin, macam comel je kan, Adam dan Aleena, remind me of Anuar & Elina ( yg nyanyi lagu Suasana Hari Raya tu hehe )

This picture is from Noorul's camera, credit to Noorul and Idham for a very nice photo :)

And afterwards, we headed for the Museum which is only a few steps away from our doorstep, and yet we have never been there, haha, I know I know, the nearest always is the last to visit..

If it weren't for Noorul and Idham, we would probably set our foot there on our very last day here heheh..

Thanx again to them, because of them, we finally paid a visit to the Museum :)

Again, this photo was taken from Noorul's camera :)

For those who's not into art, they would probably found things inside the Museum a lil bit boring, as for me, I found certain things boring but a few was quite an eye catcher, I was attracted to certain drawings which I think I could just stand there and stare at them for hours..

And, this one is my favorite photo, taken by Noorul.. lovely.. :)

And lastly, is a photo in front of the Museum, taken by Idham..

Credits to them for a nice pics.

After the Museum visit, we went back to our place again, had a coffee and cakes and we had a great time !! :)

Idham, Noorul and little Adam's visit really was an enjoyable one for me, made our day, hope that later when they pay us a visit again, we could plan for a nicer and full of fun activities insyaAllah..

As for now, I wish them all the best, may Allah grant Noorul ease in giving birth to her second baby, and may Adam help his Umi in taking care of a little baby later, and may all of them always always are under God's blessings :)

Thanx for the visit and the wonderful time together, till we meet again :)

Bye.. :)

Fatini's little Party :)

It's been a busy weekend yet very cheerful and filled with sweet and wonderful memories :)

Saturday, 4th of February, we had a little celebration for Fatini's 4th birthday..

Not a huge one, celebrated only with a few close friends who's like a family to us :)

This time, I made sure that I fulfilled her dream, she had been requesting for a Princess cake, and I kept telling her, wait until your next birthday ok, and so, promise is a promise, it has to be kept :)

It wasn't that difficult, just a lil bit of perseverance haha...

It was well worth it, Fatini was so happy, jumping up and down while watching me decorating it :)

And... table is ready...

I made fried bihun, and pastry with sardine filling..

And... lots and lots of candies.. :)

Birthday girl is ready !!! yeay!!

Victor and Lily were the first guest to arrive, they were always on time :)

Mike was a bit late, coz he had to work on Saturday...

Too bad...

How I wished we could all get together :)

Heheh, Lily with her new short hair, and I think she looks gorgeous !

Then, cake cutting took place..

After that, the most awaited moment for Fatini...

Heheh, 3 gifts, one from Florian and family (the orange one), the pink big box is from papa and Afeef, and the last one is from mama and papa :)

And there's one more, from Mike, which she'd received the latest..

Excited tak ingat hahaha !!

Tadaaaaaaa...

From left : A gift from Florian and family, from papa and Afeef and from mama and papa :)

That Barbie princess was something she'd been asking for so long..

Previously, the price was 25euro in Toys'R'us, and when we were in Malaysia a few months ago, I checked the price as well and it was RM100.. and I was determined to buy this for her as a Birthday gift regardless of the price, because she wanted it so badly..

But, thank you Allah, for suddenly, the price had been reduced to 14++ euro..

Waaahh, ape lagi, terus grab without giving it a 2nd thought :)

Memang rezeki Fatini :)

And seeing her happy when she opened the present was the best moment..

:)

Next activity, listen to Aleena playing piano...

:D

Then, play time.. khemah is ready yahoo !!

Fuuuhh, riuh satu rumah, baru 3 orang kanak2 :)

Lily and Victor, layan wii game hahaha..

Then, our last guest for the day, Mike came, a bit late, bout 6pm..

He brought something for Fatini as well :)

And......

Like always, Aleena saje nak mengade2 dgn Mike hahaha..

And Mike pun rajin je nak layan dia..

hehehe, sweet tau klu tengok diorang ni together2 :)

And...

Tadaaaaa.. a Birthday gift from Mike :)

Princess Aerial ( the little mermaid) with gown version.. cute :)

At the end of the day, Khemah was the best and most enjoyable gift of all.... ??

mmmmm...

Yeah, I guess so..

She slept in it for the whole night hahahaha !!

Sunday, 5th of February, a friend from Zweibrucken (Noorul, Idham and Little Adam) came over, and we had a great time together...

Ok, that story will be in my next post !!

What a busy and great wekend !!

Till then, Salam...

A Sweet Doctor :)

Fatini and Aleena at Kinder Klinik for regular check up...

Never before met such a wonderful and friendly doctor for children..

Ok ok, semua doctor kanak2 tu friendly, tapi yang ni memang special sket...

Nak tau kenape....?

Haaaaaa.. pasal tu cakap special, doctor ni main ikat2 rambut pulak ngan Fatini hehehe

Tu blom lagi tengok die peluk and cium Fatini, unfortunately, terlupa nak snap gambar nye huhu...

But really, she did give Fatini a hug and a kiss :)

Sweet tau Doctor ni.. :)

Inilah hasil nya... hehe.. getah rambut tu pun hadiah dari Doctor :)

Doctor ni jugak the only person yg tunjuk genuine concern tentang x de kekosongan utk Fatini di Kindergarten.. genuine genuine concern, and macam2 advice dia bagi, including suggestion on what to do, and which kindergarten to go... etc etc..

Seemed to me like she cares for Fatini like her own daughter :)

mmmmm... kind people are everywhere.. they can be your neighbor, your classmates, or even your Doctor, etc etc...

It's a bless to know them :)

A Little Decoration... :)

Like I said once before, i'm not a big fan of flowers, to have them in my house, is something which I often think as something unlikely to happen.

But now, It so happened that I've fallen in love with this flower...

It was love at first sight heheh..

It is not a real flowers, it is fake... but it looks real, and the combination of the cup and the flowers is just, sooooo lovely.. to me laa hehe..

Gaduh gak ngan Fatini, coz she insisted for me to buy the pink one...

Soooo.....

Tadaaaa...

Pink goes with red vase... :)

And her doll in between hehehe..

Lovely isn't it ??

And yesterday ter 'fall in love' with Tulips pulak..

Actually Tulips have always been my favorite flowers, but for only the real one..

But this one, is an exceptionally beautiful fake Tulips...

The combination of this yellow Tulips, the vase, and the tiny yellow stones make it looks so modern and fancy :)

I like !!

And.. this is how my little decoration looks like :)

Actually, it's OUR little decoration, (Fatini & Me)

mmmm... I know, I know... it looks childish... hehe.. but that is how it's gonna be like when little Fatini joined in the decoration :)

I have plans in mind to add more flowers, though hubby prefers fresh flowers, but, it's a waste considering the amount of money spent for a bunch of flowers that will die within 2 weeks..

It's not worth it..

Don't you think ?

Home Sweet Home :)
