so I suggest we write a good one.
Another chance for us to get it right, InsyaAllah~~
To sum up this year, in a word, I would choose, COURAGE.
With courage, we strive our best at work, to provide better future for our kids,
With courage, we learned a lot of new things in parenthood to support our kids who are in need of love and attention.
With courage, we finally venture into new chapter of life, which is Daddy going for Master of Public Health,
And with courage, we learn to become better muslims and appreciate everything that Allah has given to us, grab opportunities to help those underprivileged and the sick,
and be grateful with all the blessings and tests He gave us through out the year, and become better person, InsyaAllah~~

| My children looking so ecstatic on their birthday party! |
The kids just could not wait any longer.
Just about everyday Ammar will ask, ada birthday party ke mommy?
Harini birthday Ammar and Marissa ke?
24/11/2018 we finally had our annual birthday party at our home
The kids are deep into outer space stuff,
They love space shuttle and trips to International Space Station, and planets and such!
They even requested to see rocket launch at the Kennedy Space Station,
errr... that is in United States, sayang hahaha~!
 |
| Oh my gosh!! sayang nak makan! |
They have made me so curious until I became the fan of space discovery myself.
I watched space documentaries, and the history of space shuttle (so geek lah mommy!), and got to educate myself that there were few space shuttles ever created and their names were Atlantis, Challenger, Discovery, Endeavour, Columbia and Enterprise.
I even watched the tragedies of Challenger and Columbia and learnt that there were many astronauts who lost their lives in making history to the mankind.
Look how my kids have influenced me on my knowledge of science, good!

| Beautiful moments captured |
So, the ultimate space shuttle cake made by our loyal baker, @prettyyummythings,
the inside was red velvet cake, Ammar's n Marissa's favourite!
He even gave us the firework candles, awesome!
"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced"
"Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive!"
Mommy just prepared simple Nasik Beriyani with Sambal Udang Galah, and Percik Ayam this time.
Cooked with the help of my adik adik, of course. Prepared fettuccine carbonara for the kids,
and laku keras!
Habis licin, alhamdulillah~~
The kids were all stuffed and so were the parents haha.
Thank you to the Otago clan, my fellowship of the rings; Melor, Azza, Udeq, and Ayuni Zen, Aini Cikhens.
Thanks for making the time to celebrate our kids special day!
You guys will always be in the kids memories as the sporting uncles and aunties who never fail to show up every year for their birthday parties!! Hehe~~
We got the kids big presents this year as they have been in good behaviours, haha
not much dramas.
Ammar has shown tremendous progress and Marissa is getting cheekier each day.
That justified for big presents right!
hehe..actually they seldom ask for toys, whenever we pass Toys R Us he will say bestnya toys tu nak tu nak ni, but when we said, oh belum birthday Ammar n Marissa lagi, and they will say oookayyyy..walaupon buat sad eyes! hahaha,
so yes, you are getting the big presents during your birthdays, don't you worry kids hehe~~
You deserved them!
2018 we spent so much time with the kids, and our families,
Penang, Langkawi, Cameron Highlands, Malacca, Pangkor, Kuching, Malacca Malacca Malacca hahaha,
InsyaAllah next year, we will wait for Daddy's convocation master InsyaAllah and to continue DrPH.
And..maybe an overseas trip next year, wink wink ehhee.

InsyaAllah mommy and daddy will always be there for you,
And praying the best for our family.
Much love,
