ChiLdReN.... :)

With her, things were never easy, I must admit, until today she still gives me a hard time...

With her, things were more or less the same, only that u could be easily fooled by this lovely and the 'I'm a good girl' appearance hehe

And when they were together, things often went out of control..

But, when he's around, things were smooth again...

His presence makes everyone just want to sit and play together nicely... :)

Once, Aleena purposely spilled her drink on the carpet, I couldn't control myself and scolded her, Afeef came to me and said,

"Kenapa mama marah Aleena? dia kecik lagi, dia tak faham, mama marah pun nanti dia buat lagi.."

I was taken aback by what he said and...... touched...

He's only 8 years old...

There was one time, when I was really working on something, and Aleena kept bugging me that I inadvertently said out loud,

" Aleena, pleaseee.... mama nak buat kerja kejap !!!"

And Afeef came to her, pulled her hand softly while saying,

"Come Aleena, come, jom kita main... "

And last Saturday, while I was out in town and papa took care of all of them at home, Aleena kept on switching the TV off, and everyone's gone mad, except Afeef...

Hubby told me that Afeef even told him not to get angry with Aleena..

He's only 8 years old...

Sweet kan???

I think, it's not him learning from us, but us learning from him hehe..

Afeef is a very special boy....

Children...

They are so innocent, their kindness are genuine, their love is so pure..

Hug and kiss them while you have the chance..

Don't let our mistakes ruin this beauty they have inside... :)

Prof. Dr. Muhaya Mohamad had once said in one of her talks,

" Jangan marah pada ahli syurga, kita ibu bapa ni yg belum pasti tempat di syurga atau neraka, kenapa marah pada mereka yg tempat nya sudah pasti di syurga??"

Wardina had once said,

" Anak2 tu suci bersih, tak de dosa, mak bapak ni yang banyak dosa, jadi ape hak kita yang banyak dosa ni nak marah mereka yang suci, bersih tak de dosa ni ?? "

mmmmm.... sooo true...

Lets make ourselves a better parents :)

Projects, projects...

Salam Jumaat to all... It's been a busy week for me, never felt busier all my life heheheh!!

One of the biggest project for this past week was....

mmmmmmmm...

Heheh, bread making :)

We've just bought a bread maker, so the excitement of making our very own bread is still at its highest peak :)

Well, I hope this is not only temporary hehe..

We've made raisins bread (above photo), and...

Bread with a sosej in the middle, Afeef's favorite :)

And, we've also made white bread, carrot and cinamon bread, and pizza is my next project hehe..

Anyway, I would like to thank my sifu for all this bread making procedure, Cik siti hajar, she gave me lots of tips, and even though I hadn't quite obtained the satisfying results, and my bread didn't look as fluffy and soft as the one she'd made, I refused to be derailed..

I'll try and try again..

Million thanx to Hajar for all her help..

Ape pun, semua roti2 ni tetap sedap and habis di makan :)

And...

Another project that had been going on, apart from bread making was....

Paintings...

mmm.. I'm not really satisfied with this one actually...

But this one here, I'm very2 satisfied.... :)

I've just finished it today, haven't yet hang it anywhere, not sure where I should too...

mmmm...

Kat bawah tepi sebelah kanan tu is actually my signature ye, bukan budak nama Aleena yg conteng hehe!!

And, lastly, I've managed to play and record a new song on Piano..

Lovely2 song, beautiful melody...

The 1st time I've heard it, I fell in love with it straight away, and I tried playing it on my piano :)

Awwwwwwwwwwww....

She loves my piano so much, she loves my drawing so much, she loves my bread so much, and most importantly, she's my background singer in this song I played... hehe

Sila lah dengar haha :)

Hope you like it ;)

Sorry, last part tersilap tekan, nevertheless, I think the melody is sooo lovely.. :)

Till later,

Salam :)

Awesome wekend :)

Ok, this is another story for this past wekend, Mike came over again for a lunch at our place..

And...

Tengok la sape yg mengade2 lagi hehehe...

Mama tengok pun tak tahaaaannnn ok..

Amboi amboi, with me, she'd always always insisted on feeding herself, but with Mike..??

Where have all this 'I'll do everything myself' attitude gone to?????

This is completely Double standards !!!

Oh, ngade2 sungguh... hehehehehe!!!

And also...

A few things Mike helped us bought this past wekend, he even helped carrying everything up the stairs, I couldn't thanked him enough for all the things he'd done for us..

And finally we bought this bread maker as well, been wanting to buy this for so long, but didn't know which one is the best, and saw this at the base with a very satisfying price, so we gave it no second thought, and grabbed it...

And look at our first bread.. hahaha

Hubby baked this, that Saturday night itself we've tasted our first bread, hehe, it tasted super special :)

On Sunday, we've decided to go to something like a yard sales held here every year..

There's books, clothes, photo frames, table cover, curtains, toys etc etc with a very good bargain.

Mike wanted to come along, we were more than happy to have him with us..

Honestly, he's like a family member already.. :)

And... look sape yg mengade2 lagi skali.. hehe

And, Fatini yg pemalu ni pun dah tak segan2 nak join sama hehe

mmmmmm....

Tak peduli mama and papa dah...

Nampak tu !! Atas riba Mike aje wah wah wah....!!!

Mike jugak la yg lap kan hingus die hehe..

Tengok air pancut bersama hehe.. sweet tak???

Mike is so nice and kind, very2 loving when it comes to kids, that I sometimes, many times actually, made 'doa' for him, may God guide him to the right path and may he finds the love of his life and have his own children and family and live happily with God's will...

May God bless him :)

Afterwards, we took him to a nearby Kebab house, it's his first time here, he enjoyed the food so much but then again he enjoys everything.. hehe..

Just like Victor and Lily, Mike enjoys new food, and he's interested to learn our culture and everything bout Malaysia...

So we bought him a book about Malaysia hehe..

mmmmmmmm... Hubby said something bout this photo, but I couldn't tell what it is hahahaha...

But I think, hubby is a bit jealous hehehe..!!!!

Anyway, it was another great wekend, and I know I've said this many times, but last wekend was also one of the best wekend here in Deutschland hehehe

There's more to come insyaAllah..

Thank you Allah for all the wonderful things that happened and for all the wonderful people around us, they've made our journey in Deutschland the most memorable ones.. :)

Memorable Moments in Koblenz..... ---<@

This is a very delayed entry, mmmmm... up till today, i'm still not in the mood to write,

***sigh***

I was in the mood to play Korean song gegege :D

Ok, back to the story, this was last last Saturday, 3rd of Mac, we had once again gathered in Kak pah's house in Koblenz.. :)

I wrote about our 'get together' session before, HERE.

This time, it was not just for us to get together, but also to celebrate Izfa, who'd just completed her PHD here, congrats to you, dearest Izfa.. :)

There Izfa, seating next to me :)

I'll never forget that brief moment I had with Izfa where she sort of delivered an 'usrah' hehehe..

I'll never forget those encouraging words from Izfa, I know, I'll definitely miss her and really look forward to meeting her again in Malaysia later.... :)

These were all the foods :)

We've missed this, because we were late.

Sape suruh sesat jauh ke Kaiserslautern kan hehehe...

Nevertheless, no matter how far, we would still try our best to make it, these were moments not to be missed :)

The three HOT mama huehehehehe !!

From left, Yla, little danish, Siti hajar, and... ME hehe

Me and Hajar (my sifu for roti, donut and pizza making hehe)..

Memorable moment :)

I didn't take any photos there, moments were too precious that I dared not waste any of it, so I borrowed all these photos form Siti hajar hehe, and also from Kak Hani (tudung hijau)

Izinkan sy share gambar2 di sini iye :)

It had been also one of the best and enjoyable wekend for me, we had a great laughs, great time together, everything was just great.. :)

We'll definitely miss u Izfa... :)

My 1st apam kecik comel :)

Thank you to all yang dah bagi nasihat, cadangan, racun, bunga api dan sebagainya untuk entry sebelum ni hehehe..

Memang niat di hati nak beli piano baru, but still I need to thoroughly think about it :)

Kinda love my piano now.. it's my first, and first is always special :)

Anyway, last Friday I've received an unexpected parcel, from a sweet friend, Siti Hajar !!!

Siti Hajar lives here too in Germany, in Duisberg, she's always been someone from whom I've often seek advice from, someone who often listens to what I have to say and whenever I needed something, she'd definitely try her best to help !!

Sweet kan ??

So, recently, she had gone back to Malaysia for bout a month and is already back in Deutschland and... look at what she brought for me.. :)

Having something for me is one thing, sending it to my doorstep is another thing, owwhhh I'm touched :)

This really made my day :)

Ehem... blom sempat guna, ada budak dah rasmikan, senyap2 je dia kidnap kat dapur and buat projek rahsia die hehe..

Anyway, acuan muffin ni la yg paling best, dah lama nak buat apam comel2, tapi tak de acuan...

Now, it's possible....

Tadaaaaa.... today's project... hehehe..

Actually, nak buat apam dot dot and nak buat cantik2 bentuk lady bird macam hajar buat, taaaaaapiiiii...

Nice tak ?? hehehe...

Again, Vielen Dank Hajar :)
