Waka Waka Dance

As a proud mom, when Yoel got the chance to perform on stage, I was aroused with excitement. Words just couldn't express my heart overflowing with joy.

It was the annual event of Krista Pusat Bandar Putra Permai. This year, in conjunction with Krista Puchong Hartamas, they did the annual convocation in Engineering Faculty in University Putra Malaysia. My son was involved in a dance-- Waka Waka made popular by the singer Shakira, a common yet catchy tune.

This was the first item of the day. Yoel was seen holding hands with his partner, a graceful looking malay girl. As he saw us from the stage, his face was lighted up. I knew he was glad that he could perform on the stage. He knew that I would be so proud of him. That made him held his head up high in acknowledgment of his mom's pride. At that moment, I realised that all the hard work of the teachers and my nurturing have bore fruits. He knows, understand and believe that God was always with him. Therefore he could do all thing through Him who strengthen him. Praise be unto God !!

Gua Tempurung & The Lost World of Tambun


So it was something else to do rather than sitting around the house and do the ordinary stuffs. Yeah !

As mentioned in my yesterday's post, the trip to the north was postponed. Yes, we, Cikgu Mazlina, Cikgu Azimah and I, together with 39 Year 5 and Year 6 pupils finally boarded a school bus headed to Gua Tempurung, Perak. My school headmaster drove his Vios accompanied by Sir Zaini. Wasn't a long journey especially one has a good book in hand.

The cave was awesome on the inside. We got to climb up a thousand steps and walk don't know how many miles, go in the water and slide down the cliff !! What a first experience to the rest of the people. For me, it was my second time in the cave, after all, it was where I knew my husband. Oh yes ! In the cave !!

After a modest lunch at one of the stalls there, we left for the theme park. Children were excited too. There were wet and dry parks. I went to both... yes the wet park all on my own.

As we came out, as usual there was a souvenir shop. Our kids went wild shopping before calling it an end at the theme park. When we stopped at the R&R they claimed that they had no money to buy food. I thought that those kids really need some kind of money management in them. It's troubling to see younger generation do not have this set of essential wisdom... and I ponder...

Pra's Convo 2010

The date was 12 Nov. 2010.
It was then another busy day in SK Cyberjaya. Cikgu Roshida and I were involved in the Pra Sekolah convocation. What did we involved in? We were in charged of an item - chorus speaking that entitled Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Still can't figure out how did we manage to come out with the script. English being the second or even the third language to us, we were just perhaps thankful that we were able to produce one... when forced to.

On this actual day, we dressed all the 50 tiny dots in jeans and white T-shirts. Cikgu Shakirah lend us a helping hand to do the face painting. To be accurate, we, Cikgu Shida, Cikgu Sha and I painted 50 bear faces in 15 minutes. Three of us were panic. I wanted to start painting earlier but the teachers in charged refused it... and so we waited till the last minute and we rushed like mad, but thank God, we did it. Anyway, couldn't have any spare time to take a photo of it. What a pity.

Annual Hi-tea

OK ! OK ! I know I like food a lot. Ada rezeki, jangan ditolak. It was our school annual event. We had makan at Marriot Putrajaya. The food tasted good but it would be even better if there were more choices. That does not mean that the food was not enough. I just wanted more !

Forgot to bring my camera... sigh ! Anyway, as I can recall, there were 3 types of fruit, some vege salad, sandwiches, many types of cakes, fish fillets, fried rice vermicelli, fried rice, ais kacang and some other things that I can't recall.

The dress code was santai and so I assumed that a pair of jeans would be appropriate. After all, comfort is all I want, always ! Well, I think I wasn't out of place though. When I am comfortable, that's when I feel secure and confident. Nevertheless there were some ladies who actually go all the way out... They dressed really well.

Below are some photos I got from my friend's camera.

Arrgghhh... can't copy the photos here from facebook.

She Gave Birth To Me

Ah... it's my birthday finally. I must give praise to the LORD for preserving my life to date and thank my mom Jenifer Ung for have given me a chance to live.

So glad that many people did remember it. My first-born Yoel was happy for me. I came back from work and found that he wasn't there to welcome me. Was being informed that he hid himself in our helper's room, drawing something for me. This, my son is really a little artist. Think he's born with it. Later he presented his masterpiece to me. Was truly proud of it.

Later in the evening, my hubby took me out. Many have recommended that I should give Tao a try and so we did, that night. A friend of mine told that it's a 2 hour buffet. Kevin wasn't happy with it. For him, 2 hours won't be sufficient. Anyway, since it was my birthday, Kevin obliged. We sat down and ordered the food. From abalone to prawns and from prawns to many types of fish. The food was nice with varieties, but most of all it's worth the money paid for. Just after half an hour, Kevin had already raised his white flag. He's full !! That night, we got our stomachs bloated !! Thank God I wore a long cardigan that help me to do some cover up.
