Beginning of a new year

January 2013 is almost over. Life goes on as usual except for a few events that destabilize me. Having Rania and Gabe makes a lot of difference in my emotions. The thought and the sight of them calm me down when I feel low. Bless my little angels.

Rania started play school at Julia Gabriel in Citta Mall. She is happy there and adjusted herself well with no fuss. She loves going to school. Ika has successfully toilet trained her and there is no problem now..... maybe on one or two occasions when she held back and wet herself before sitting on the toilet bowl.

Rania loved to sit on my lap after I finished praying maghrib. She listened and repeated when I recited Al Fatihah. Now she can recite Al Fatihah on her own with my Quran on her lap. She struggles a bit on the last ayat. She is really good. Children at her age are quick to imitate but will forget if not trained to recite it regularly. I am really proud my little Jantung Pisang. She brings sunshine in my life.

I visited my mother's grave today before leaving for PD. I still talked to her when I am in despair and ask for forgiveness for all the mistakes I made in treating her when she was alive. I understood now how painful it was when your child hurt you and I felt so powerless except to recite Al Fatihah and Yassin and prayed that Allah will forgive me. I did give my mother a hard time and she cried many times for my behaviour. True what a saying says ' You get what you give'. So to all children out there who read my blog and who still have living mothers, please treat your mothers with gentleness, love and respect, for when she is gone, you will be haunted with guilt for life. I can guarantee you that the feeling of regret is not a nice feeling. No matter how bad your mother is, she is your mother and you only have ONE mother.
Today I didn't hear knocking and drilling from the apartment below me. The contractor is so selfish and thoughtless. He just disregarded the rules and regulation even though the security guards requested him to stop work at 5 pm on week days and no work on weekends but he blatantly disobeyed. I had to get out of the apartment to avoid the noise till dark. It was so infuriating. The management was not able to do much which I believe they could do it if they are really strict and enforce the regulations. I hope it's going to be a quiet week as I need this respite.

Rania and Gabe had a good time playing at JKids in Paradigm Mall in PJ on Sunday 20 Jan 2013. It was packed with kids and parents. How different it was now compared to before. Now kids play indoors in artificial play room whereas before they were free to run around in an open air playground with natural surrounding. Safety is such a big issue now. No children should be left unattended on their own no matter where.
Chinese New Year is so far off but there are people already playing fire crackers. This is the behaviour of arrogant and indiscipline Malaysians. They are disgusting. I am glad I will be away in Tunisia during CNY. I hate the noise.
