New Adventure
Sunday, February 26, 2017 at 1:01 AM | 0 comments  

A new adventure awaits me in Canada. I got a 1 year contract to work there with a possibility to continue for a longer period. There's less than weeks for me to prepare for this journey.

Flight is set for 9 March though visa is still pending. It's mentally taxing for someone with no prior experience overseas.

My wife, Hida, has been very helpful in pushing me to prepare for the necessities. A part of me is not willing to leave her and our son. However we know that this is probably the best move for me right now.

I'm done with meeting close friends. Though my beloved motorcycle is still an issue. Still trying to find a buyer for it. Worst case scenario is to sell off to a bike shop at a loss.

I'm hoping that this part of my life will make me a better human being.

I'm going to miss studying Arabic with the rest of my family members on Friday nights. I am hopeful that I will find a better teacher in Canada.

Mother's Day @ En-Naeem

Last Saturday, I rushed from NYP to make myself present for this mother's day event. It was a lunch/charity/mother's day event. Mothers were presented with a rose upon entry. The whole family was there including our maternal grandmother and sis-in-law. Dad decided to attend and bought his ticket on the day itself, and ended up sitting at a table with the star-performer for the day, Didicazli.

But we were there to see our smallest one perform. Our littlest sister was performing a skit, together with some of her kindergarten2 classmates. She played the part of Alqamah's mother. Her teacher was saying how great she was at the role to mum prior to the performance, we had to see it ourselves.

I felt little sis could have done better with her facial expressions but she was able to deliver her lines well. She took her role seriously unlike some of her classmates... but of course, that is to be expected of most kids their age.

Once, while lying down in bed at home, she lamented that she preferred the role of Alqamah cause she would only need to lie down ~ then she pretended to have fits and pretended to die. LOL!

Other than the skit, there were performances in the form of nasyid and poetry by other students. I know nuts about the local malay music but the performance by Didicazli was pretty alright. However, in my opinion, the muazzin of En-Naeem Mosque sounded so much better. I was somewhat mesmerized. There was also a mini forum session towards the end.

We even got to bring back lucky draw prizes. Big bro and Dad were the lucky ones. The whole event has a warm feeling to it. It was a nice day out to celebrate the 2 mothers in our family.
