Those schoolboy days....

Congratulations to my son, Imran, who has just completed his SPM examination yesterday. That was to be the last time he was a schoolboy donning the school uniform.

Imran has been working so hard and sacrificed a lot this entire year. He just knew that this examination result is the ticket to his future and doing well in it is the ultimate choice.

With successful older siblings as mentors, it wasn't difficult to motivate him. I was just trailing behind, sending and picking him up for tuitions and making everything and anything available just to ensure that he was comfortable.

Right after the last paper, I asked how he felt. Imran said he has given his utmost best and he could not have done any better, there's no regrets at all.

Alhamdulillah, now the tawakkal part comes in.

Based on his excellent trial examination results, Imran has been offered The Pricipal's Award by Taylor's University College and will start his Cambridge 'A' levels there in January.

Thank you Imran for making it relatively easy for me to carry out one of my responsibilities as a mother....

Going to visit....

The Taj Mahal!!!

Dilla and I decided that we are going to take our much needed year-end break, and we are heading towards Agra to see for ourselves one of the seven wonders of the world, The Taj Mahal.

We have had a few round-kitchen-table meetings with other members of the family, and 'if-you-don't-agree-with-the-destination,-please-suggest-another!!!' sessions. It looks like everyone will have to tow and brave the journey too, since we have, sort of, run out of place to go for holidays..

Papa is quite annoyed with this last minute decision, however, the kids and I are determined to go somewhere nevertheless. We have been struggling 'like the weeds on the field' throughout this year, and for that, we are giving ourselves a treat by witnessing the epitome of love!.

We'll be back on the new year. May it bring us lots of joy and happiness....
