Adelaide-J'arrive bientot!

Time flies...

2010-02-02T15:52:00.000-08:00

Dear all,

2010...the much anticipated year has arrived. It seems like yesterday when I made the decision to further my studies. And now, this is my last semester @ Uni Adelaide. Despite the odds that my family has faced throughout the past months, the journey is about to end soon. Insya-allah.
I am greatful to be blessed with this fabulous family. Parents and husband have been understanding to support me in my undertakings. Without them, this journey is NEVER possible, lest think about it. Also, not to forget, relatives, aunts and friends with their well-wishes have made my journey to be almost a smooth and blessed them. May ALLAH repay their kindness in whatever returns that he has reserved to bestow them with. Alhamdullila.

Soon, in three weeks time I will be back in Adelaide to complete my final lap of the journey. Pray for me that my journey is going to be a less rocky and ultimately complete the course in a high note. Insya-Allah.

No words of thanks nor money could replace the sacrifices that the people around me has gone through and only Allah will justify your kindness and sacrifices accordingly. Especially to my husband, ERZA who has gone through tough times to make me realize my dreams, OUR dream as a family. Thank you love for providing me with this opportunity. May Allah repays you well with the your sacrifices and sincerity in helping out my family. I will do you proud with what you have invested in me.

New friends are found and old friends strengthen our friendships. May this last till eternity. Insya-allah!

Come June, I will embark a new lease of my life with a new mindset and attitude which I have learned & experienced for the past 20 months or so. Hopefully, this new beginning will reap positive results and thus to be believe that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN OUR LIVES!

Insya-Allah.

Till you hear from me again. Bye for now.

My Hendra

2008-10-06T04:37:00.000-07:00

Hi Luv,

I am impresses at my son's development. After 2 mths away from home, his speech has improved by leaps and bounds.

He is able to ask for his milk, inform us that he has done his 'business', called out people's names, identify colours and count 12345 and point out to vehicles on the road...

Example:

1. "I want milk".."I want mam", 'bread', I don't want ah...
2. "Atuk taxi, car, bus, truck, bicycle"
3. He shouted 1, 2, 3 go! when we went visiting on the 2nd day as Erza was about to drive off!
4. When we visited my grandaunt and her daughter brought out 4 glasses of F & N Fanta, he pointed and said 'purple'.
5. He arranged the balls and then he counted 1, 2, 3,4, 5...
6. When he saw the mosque...he said Amin.

He followed the actions from Barney show and shouted "Cold! With his fist punching the air and bend his body sideways...so cute!"

Thanks to all teh caregivers in Spore. I really appreciate it very much.

Hi Luv,

My sis-in-law has finally made it to Aberdeen. She has to face so many upheaval challenges before her departure...but again, it does not end here...she has to face many uncertainties along the way too...similarly to me.

I believe her relationship with Ross, will stregthen the bond and fill up gaps in their life.

No worries love, Almighty has given his permission to get on with the next lap of your life and shovelled up the path for you to take...its up to you to take what may come in all your stride!

Good luck to your studies and don't let setbacks dampened your spirits!

Remember : YOUR PAST IS NOT EQUAL TO YOUR FUTURE!

Persevere!Insya..

Thanx Mums!

Cute and cheeky little boy!

Hendra in 'APAK'!

2008-08-29T06:13:00.000-07:00

Hi Luv,

Finally, Hendra is in "apak" - his term for aeroplane. I hope by two, he can say the correct word.

He is alrite in the plane. A bit grouchy coz he did not want to put on the safety belt. Slept almost throughout the journey. Thank God!

Sad to leave him...

Love u son!

Hendra

2008-06-21T09:11:00.000-07:00

Guess what...Hendra knows how to say the word 'Giraffe'(after watching Ice Age 2 for countless of times).Not getting these...'I doh one','som mor','not','lips', 'chiks'(baby talk. I am amazed at his development...but I was even more amazed when my father-in-law told him, 'Hendra...tomorrow we go walk-walk!' I just smiled...what can I say right?He!he!he!

My FIL -adores Hendra...and Hendra reciprocate that feeling very well. ;)

Darling, Mummy loves you very much!I miss you deary son!
