Sad day for me and family...

A'kum...today is my sad day. My sister Atini Hj Mahadi passed away yesterday evening. A shock for me and my family....My late sister had been diagnosed by doctor having SLE symptom for almost 1 year..maybe its the right time for her to 'go'. Allah swt has taken her to be be with HIM and release her from the suffering. Yesterday when we received the sad news...we start our journey from AS around 8.00 pm and arrived at my sister house around 1.30 am. My late sister was buried at Sg. Choh cemetary near Serendah...I had the oppurtunity to take her body inside the grave, at least that is the last thing I can do for her. Will miss her even though we seldom meet and talk...I pray to Allah swt for her soul to be in peace forever. Tonight we had a 'tahlil' or prayer for my late sister... this prayer will go on for 2 night to come.

For me, I had to go back to AS tomorrow morning because my children need to attend their extra classes. InsyAllah when I come back here, I will visit my late sister grave...will miss her...her smile and her kind heart. Ya Allah, please put her soul beside YOU and with the soul of people who always fight for victory of Islam.

Salam...

It has been 4 days since I send my post...actually during my staff program in Terengganu I already written a post but does not send it because of something occur at that time. Anyway I had a happy and sad memory during our program at Sutra Beach Resort. The sad one is one of my staf had a miscarriage...pity her. The happy memory is our program went on as we plan it...even though all of us are tired because of the long journey. Our journey from A Star to SBR took us nearly 14 hours...but when going back to AS it only took us about 11 hours. Tired but happy to see all our friends faces...hoping for our next staff program on November. That time I can bring along my love one and children.

Today is holiday, I take the opportunity to bring my family to TESCO (just opened in Alor Star last Friday)...my Afiq really want to go this place, actually there nothing special about it. Small kid....u know. When we were there we did bought something...and playing games then we went to Pizza Hut. My children are really happy and enjoying themselves....

This evening I was thinking to bring my children to the club...maybe playing tennis or go swimming. It has been 2 weeks since we went to the club.

Stop here first...had to perform my solat.

Hai there....this will my short post. Today is a very busy day for me...need to contact a few people that will the present their paper in our Instructional Leadership Colokium next month. Alhamdulillah all are done...

Hai there....it has been 2 days since my last posting. Can't find the right time to write my post. Anyway nothing much happen in that 2 days...my mom already gone back to KL last night. Miss her...I pray to Allah swt to give her good health and protect her always. When we lost someone in our life, the situation in the whole family will be changed forever...that what happen in my family. When my father passed away on 12th July 2005, our family is not the same any more. Really miss him...hopefully his soul will always be with Allah swt.

Ok stop here first...

It has been 2 days since...

Salam,

It has been 2 days since I made a posting in my blog. Actually I did made a posting on 8 th of May but I don't know what happen, my post was lost in the cyberspace. This technically things has already happen to me about three times...when I want to edit my post, the post will be lost forever.
Yesterday, Friday nothing usual happen,,,just doing my routine when I here at homes. My son Aiman is attending his school program from Thursday until Friday evening. I pick him at 5 pm...look tired, first time for him to sleep in the school. He is twelve years old, will be taking his UPSR exam in September...We are really hoping he can perform well in this exam. He is already attending extra classes and tuitions. For the time being, he is quite slow but who knows...

My mother arrived from KL around 2.40 am in the morning...she is here with my brother Azam and sister Asmah and her husband. My sister son has been offered a place in matriculation program in Arau, Perlis. He will be going there for registeration on 12 of May...

Today, nothing much happen....buying breakfast, going to the market etc. At the market I meet my former headmaster of SK Telok Kechai, had a long chat with Pak Hak. I think because of him, I am where I am now... Then going to my friend son wedding 'kenduri' near my house. After performing the 'solat' I take a nap...Around 5 pm I wake up...solat and then when to my mother house to fetch my daughter.

At night after Maghrib prayer, I send Anis and Aiman to tuition classes...after sending Anis, myself and Afiq stop for while to look at new Perodua Nautiqa model...I think the new model is much better then Kembara but the price is not good... For me, I think it quite expensive...They should put the price around 60 k or much lower. I won't buy it for now... My Afiq is happy to get the opportunity to look at the new model.

At home after solat Isyak, I had dinner with my mum and family...then went fetching Anis and Aiman. Sending Anis to my mother house then went home. Tomorrow I taking one day off from the office...but need to attend a meeting.

Stop here first...

Then seing my participant, I was inform about all her project (2 project for the time being)...and all her documentation. I was impress with her 'Barber Corners' project... She is lucky to have a good backup from her headmaster and senior assistant.

2nd day in Kota Bharu...

Salam...
Today is my 2nd day in Kota Bharu. I went to one of the participant school near Wakaf Bharu around 8 am. My participant pick me up at hotel...The journey took about 20 minutes from the hotel. This is my second visit...From my observation I noticed that the participant already half way in her writing but she still does not done her project. This is a very serious matter cause I'm afraid she could not finished her 3 project as needed. Hopefully she will try her best to meet the dateline in June.

After finish consulting, I had the opportunity to meet her principal. We talk a lot of things...she is a very hardworking and observing person. Sadly she will retire in 2 months time...I noticed she had done her works in 'changing' the teachers and her students to be the best. Hopefully she still can contribute to our education after her retirement.

We went to the shop near Muhamadi Mosque and back to the hotel after having our lunch in 'Restoran Ulam' in Handycraf Center near Kota Bharu. The menu is 'kampung style' but very tasty....really love the fried 'Keli'(Cat fish). After arriving in the hotel, I take a little nap...tired! Then perform the 'solat'. After that I went walking to the market, bazaar and supermarket...just bought a few things for me and my love one. Still did not found the teddy bear my son want....

Tonight I will be going out...my friend Muzli will be coming to fetch me around 8.30 pm. So I stop here first...

Bye...

From Kota Bharu...

Arrived from KLIA to Kota Bharu around 7.30 pm. My friend already waiting for me at the airport (LTSIP). It was raining in Kota Bharu...After performing prayer at the 'surau' in the airport we get something to eat. Then my friend sent me straight to the hotel. I already call my love one and my children when I check in. Just received a call from my love one....she is fetching our son from tuition class.

Tomorrow morning, I will going to SMK Wakaf Baru then maybe I will be going to one of PKPGB participant school. To check the project that the headmaster prepare...

That all for now...

'Program Sandaran' in Kota Bharu

Tomorrow 3rd of May, I will going to Kota Bharu for the 'Program Sandaran NPQH'. My flight to KLIA is at 3.20 pm and connecting to Kota Bharu at 6.35 pm. I will be staying in Hotel Raudah. I will be in Kota Bharu for three day. Will be coming back at 5th May. I'm looking forward to meet the three participant under my supervision. Hoping they have manage to complete half of the paper works that they have to prepare. It really hard for me to 'push' the 'three' to perform well. What I'm expecting is they know what they should do....

Ok..stop here first, will be writing from Kota Bharu, insyAllah.

At Padang Kota we ate famous Penang food called 'Pasembor'...the taste not as tasty I ate a few years backs. anyway we enjoy ourselves. We went back to the hotel around 7.30 pm. That night we have a dinner at 8.00 pm. After the dinner some of my friend showing their talents in singing @ karoake session....truly some of them really can sing...but the important thing is they enjoyed it.

Ok...hope to c my friends in a near future

Solok Limau Purut

I thinks I need to explain why I using the name for my blog... I got the idea to use this name cause I was born in a village called Kampung Solok Limau Purut located in Simpang Empat, Alor Gajah, Melaka. I lived in this village for 7 years before moving out to Kuala Lumpur in 1973 cause my father got a job as a watchman in Batu Road Boys School, Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur. We do go back to the kampung when we had the opportunity....

I also have a lot of sweet and sad memory in that 'kampung'.

Ok...that all for now.

1st May - Labour Day

A'kum and Happy Labour Day,

First of all I like to wish to all workers out there...Happy Labour Day. Today is the day all workers get one day off. This is the day for all of us to rethink about ours roles we play in ours own organization. Have we contributes to our bosses and our friends then to ours customers? Hopefully we all be grateful to Allah swt to giving us a place to work and earn a decent pays to supports our family.

Yesterday our meeting in Cititel ended around 11 am. After finishing packing my things, myself n my dear friend MRI went shopping. We only bought 'jeruk' and key chains then we had our lunch and went home. On the way, we stop by at the toys shop...want to know what we bought? Each of us bought a remote control helicopter. For our children..or for ourselves. After that we went home, had to wait about 30 minutes before get to board the ferry...we safely arrived at home around 3.30 pm, alhamdulillah.

After sending my friend MRI, I fetch my son Afiq from his nanny house. He is very excited to see me...so am I. Then we went home...He ask me what did I bought for him...I said nothing...He was very angry with me...I told him that he has been very naughty, so I won't buy anything for him.

Just we arrive home, my love also arrived at the same time. She notice our Afiq face not very happy...I told her why Afiq had the long face....She just smile...

As usual at 5 pm I fecth my eldest...Anis from school. At home around 6 pm I take out the things I bought....the remote helicopter, mr. bean bear, toy cars and a plastic ball. My children especially Afiq is very excited...all the long face has gone. I got the liberty to play the remote helicopter...cause it need an adult to control it...he..he...he..

After Maghrib prayer...myself and my love and children sent Aiman to tuition class. Then we went to City Plaza to get my new spectacles...I need to wear to help me when I am reading or doing my works in front of the computer. They call it short sighted...or 'rabun dekat'. It really help me...this articles is written with I wearing the new spectacles. It cost around RM 200++

Today I do not have any plan yet...who knows? Maybe I will be going to Kedah Club in the evening...
