How time has flown by. We had a pretty good Ramadan Alhamdulillah. Sarah you were off for two weeks and you attended a Ramadan Program by "Our Homeschool Retreat" run by Auntie Kylie. You enjoyed it. But Aunty Kylie's family moved to Perth at the end of Ramadan. You both also went to Perth for Raya. I missed you so much. Especially because the day you left it was one day before my 40th birthday. I spent my 40th birthday without both of you... but I talked to you over the phone. Alhamdulillah Allah blessed us with a good Ramadan and good Eid. Now just two weeks ago we discovered that Sarah got accepted into Idrissi. Alhamdulillah mama was so relieved. Mama has been praying to Allah that He allows me to provide you with a more wholesome and islamic environment in which to grow.I'm praying that Idrissi will provide you with a better one compared to APSS. I just made du'a : Please help me provide Sarah with a wholesome environment in which to grow which will be best for her dunya and akhiraah. He Alone Knows Best what is best for both of your upbringing. Which environment will help you both love our Deen.
Anyway, so Sarah you had your last day at APSS about a week and a half ago. It was quite bittersweet - having to leave APSS. I know you've made a few good friends. We ordered button badges that said : P4 Earth Thank you for the memories. - Sarah", and you gave them to all your classmates. You also bought Teddy bears for your three closest friends - Emira, Debbie & Malissa. I'm so proud of you for being so thoughtful to your friends. I pray you all keep in touch :)
Then we were off immediately to SIngapore for a week holiday!! Wow that was fun. We just lazed around, spent time with Dahlia, Dean &Dhia, Nek Nor, Aunty Ayu, the whole week. We went to Science Centre, East Coast PArk, National Gallery Museum..so much fun!! Alhamdulillah. This week we are back in KL, trying to settle your stuff for when you start school in a week and a half ; uniform, books, etc.Hoping we settle it soon, so that we have time to go for a short break to the beach!!
I just wanted to pen some thoughts about your vacation. I'm really loving spending time with both of you. I feel I never want your vacation to end!! hahah... we are watching tv, movies, getting up late, sleeping late :) Yesterday you had a playdate with Asilah (I thought it'd be good to get re-acquainted since you'll be in the same school as her soon), the day before Aunty Tria and her kids came over and you swam in the evening...hehehe.. Sarah you were so shy around Aan.. aww ..Mama is less angry and more relaxed during your summer vacation..,.wish we homeschooled so you'd have permanent vacation..hahahah... but I guess there would be different stresses if we homeschooled. Allahua'lam.
I love you both so much. So grateful to Allah for allowing us to have this time together. You are small for only a short time... before I know it, you will be out the door :( but I'm not totally unstressed of course, last night we watched "how to do brush lettering" on youtube til late, and when we switched it off, I guess I snapped at you Sarah for just throwing your brush pen and sketch book on the side table. You shouted back and we had a shouting match. sigh. Sorry. Today I let you both watch "Worst Witch" from 330 til 6pm and when I turned it off, Iman gave excuses didn't want to solat. Sarah shouted at her for not "qomat"...sigh..I'm sorry I shouted too.. oh well... I still have a lot to learn ...at 40!!! Hope y'all turn out better than me girls <3 I will make du'a that you both turn out more patient and calm compared to me...ameen.
