Aisyah and happpyyyy me!!!

Semalam hari gumbira saya...


Some things just have to come to an end...resam hidup. Nothing is forever...I'm glad  I have the wisdom to choose happiness for myself!

This is what she has prayed hard for...Alhamdulillah....

Dan semalam juga hari gumbira saya sebab Nur'Aisyah Ezral, after much heartache and tears (she lah...not me..), called me at the office ( actually I heard 3 voices shouting on the phone- hers, Khairin's and hubs') all excited and she has achieved her best from her struggle of the last 2 years.

As a mum, I am always in a dilemma, whether I have done the best I could for my children. Aisyah has always been an achiever. She can read at age 3 and has not lost (i hope) the interest to learn. She studies without me having to coax and has quite a balanced life. She was not at all like me, who went to extremes of either studying or not...which disappointingly, for me, turned out to be the latter. She can be out with friends all day and I could still catch her working on her maths at the most peculiar time of the day. So, she's better than I was at her age. She's not a totally studious girl and she knows how to have fun, with her music, her bundle shopping obsession, her blog, her friends, her insistence to be at as many music gigs as possible, her MekDi, Johnny Depp obsessions, among others..

With Aisyah, I always felt that I need to tread extra carefully. Last year, I suspect was a year of turmoil for her. Every 2 weeks, she would miss school at least once. And I also know, she spent good  hours of school sleeping in class. I worry a lot for her, but the only consolation for me was her teachers' confidence in her, and knowing that she's wise enough to make her own choices. She is not the kind of child you can expect to get straight answers from if you ask her if she has any problems, instead what she will serve you is tears welling in her eyes..So, I chose to let her be. I do not know whether this is a wise decision on my end, but I always have this notion that she knows that she can always count on us. We may not always have everything, but we would always try to give her the best we can. 

Her late father and nenek would have been as proud as we are...

As another stage of your life beckons, Aisyah... keep your feet on the ground..head in the sky!!
