Salam Eid Mubarak....wishing all the blessing from Allah for our next days ahead. Ramadhan is leaving us and hope we still have a chance to meet it again next year.
Don't know why...but raya is not as exciting when u are a kids....life seems to be so full of magical moments when u were young.. This raya ...all the excitement is channelling towards the kids. Being a mother means do all u might to make raya as meaningful and exciting for the young ones.
Are adults seems to lost their raya spirit. With life responsibility and commitment...I sort of lost the raya spirit.. Memories of raya as a child and keep wishing that the kids can experienced the same thing crowding my head.....Raya in KL is lack of raya spirit la......My kids would never have the chance to experience true raya spirit....Lost are the traditional way of life...sayangnya.. This year maybe the peak of my hatred towards raya songs...cannot stand at all.. 10 final days of Ramadhan suppose to be filled with ibadah more towards gearing all ur effort in making the most out of the Ramadhan month...but in Malaysia...10 latest days are pack with raya songs......inappropriate and the most wasted culture.....priority diverted....People says...if you are so alim....zikir in your heart sudahlah....Taula.....alim tak payah tunjuk....It's not about "nak tunjuk alim " matter...its about the exposer towards young generations....you feed good things...they end up be good...you feed poison...they end up killing themselves...education purpose...really..Media is the most powerful source in educating....hmmmm....I hate all raya songs...
This raya also coincidentally fall on the day of 9/11 tragedy....what's with the burning Quran day....(luckily it was cancelled) Praise to Allah...The world is grieving today...
Hmmm.....missing the lost raya traditions....missed the family gathering...missed the preparation...missed Mok...
Selamat Hari Raya ......Maaf Zahir Batin..

My two cents on parenting....
How fast time flies...without really prepared of what's coming suddenly we are reaching the end of another year. One more year to brace new obstacles one more journey to face....With two kids in the luggage, life just get pretty interesting...especially in watching how much they have changed..starting from tiny little angels in my cradle.
My son got his yellow belt for taekwondo. Still remember on the day of his test coming home had to face mummy's interview session..
Mama: "How's ur test? Did you do well?
Ihsaan:" Ok...Yes, I do well....
Mama:" So, will you get your yellow belt?"
Ihsaan:"Can.....of course"
Mama:(Started to feel weird of his over confidence act)"How do you know you'll get ur yellow belt??"
Ihsaan:" Because Master do like this...showing two thumbs up gesture....elleehhh..."
Mama: eh..eh..got elleh why? now cant help but grinning wide....funny little sort...
Actually, before deciding to pay for his test fee...I was considering of not allowing him to took up the test simply by assuming that it was non important enough to do anything with his future...when history of my past started to flash in front of my eyes, I'd changed my mind...to allow him to take any test that come across his way after this...as long as I live la...
So flashback moment that affected my decision and also setting a new point in my approach regarding parenting. It was during my form 5 year that I was suppose to take a triple one nine test...am ready to pay with my scholarship money...but true to heart, as an obedient child I seek consent from the elders...and the opinion got was..not to take because I was not that good in English pun and it was such a waste of money to pay such amount just for test that you not even good at pun...katanya lah....So ...I accepted the decision with broken heartla...because I believe in myself that I can do better than the elder la...there's no harm in trying anyway...but as a family with a restricted luxury...spending money on such thing seems unnecessary...The effect....for years I kept on wondering what's my results would be...
Lesson learnt,...if you have any opportunity in knowing your capabilities just go ahead...and give it a try...there's no harm in trying...at least u grab the chance to know for sure what's you're capable of...
Maka, starting from that moment on..I will support and allow my children even recommended to everyone to just take whatever test that are coming your way....It's good to know your own strenght and learn from any outcomes...Opportunity only comes once, grab it while it's in front of your face...like me..I'm not quite have confidence in my son ...I know he's clever enough but...physically...hmmm he's so fragile....(haishhhh...Mama!)...Surprisingly though....the results...if only you open the door to various wonders...(smiling at peace nii....)
