Two in one birthday party

Sarah is six, and Nadiah is eight.....een.

Held as Sue's place - for her open house, cum birthday cum pre deepavali holiday celebration.

I just got an additional flash, (lower end) - with hope that it will improve my indoor shots - especially at night.

Ok lah alhamdulillah.. ada improvement sikit.. kalau tak, I have no confidence taking night photos with the DSLR.

As usual the cake expert did the cakes. This time the theme for the smaller girl is 'High School Musical 2'

post raya update

*excerpt from an email and edited*

"Hello dearest,

How r u today? I bet you're quite tired today, surely? Cause I am.

So finally.. kek lapis tu jadi jugak.. cuma kaler tak prominent - so it didn't really stand out. but the lapising.. was OK. :) alhamdulillah. maybe I'll try again. Also the kek gulung, jadi la jugak.

Then I had to help my MIL cook for raya. Previous years kan rus aje yg tolong kat MIL's place.. I just had to anyam ketupats. Now that MIL's here, and Rus is not around.. I had to tolong la - kesian.

I worked my hands and fingers so much - making those small cookies (the makmur, tarts, cornflakes), cutting loads of ingredients (paru, daging, kacang panjang). So much so that, yesterday - i saw a bruise behind my thumb, kat the lower bone join situ. It was (still is..) reddish all around.. i thot i had accidentally rubbed my fingers on some make up ke apa ke.. but I don't have anything that was red camtu. When I pressed a bit.. rasa discomfort sikit. Seriously.. i didn't know that the joints can get bruised from overexertion..."



This bruise became like a 'trophy' for me. I was showing it off to almost anyone who would care to pretend to be interested.

This raya, I didn't get any bunga api for the kids.. was a bit busy, although I had wanted to. :-\ But that's ok.



More raya pics here - updated until raya ends.
Raya sebulan kan? :D

have workdesk, will achieve.. insyaAllah :p

Alhamdulillah.. 2nd last semester is over. Last semester is hopefully the simplest. For now, I can do or read whatever I want, without having the guilt of not studying instead.

I've been wanting to do so much, but not doing it. Most of the time, I'm blaming it on not having a proper place to work at home. I don't have a work desk. I don't know if you think it is a good excuse, but I cannot achieve much, doing work on my bed - I always end up sleepy. And the common computer table is hot property.

So I'm looking forward to the new house, where I will have my own workstation in my room :) I'm dreaming hoping planning determined to do and achieve more, while I'm there, insyaAllah.

I was trying to write about what I'm trying to achieve.. but I deleted them. There were too many ideas and aspirations, for the betterment of myself, my family, the world and for Muslims. Too many ideas sometimes, I laugh at myself. Let me try to achieve.. one at a time...or maybe two.

Some pics.
