Posted in Family, Me at Leisure, d kids on December 9, 2008 by ijyn

It was not easy to decide on a place to bring them. Me & cuzzy agreed – “Singapore boring ehh..” And well, since it’s a sunny day – We all vrroooommm to Escape Theme Park.

The entourage is of a wide age group; 16 mths Ian, 24 mths Asyura, 3 yrs Dini aka Epah, 6 yrs Danniesh, 12 yrs Amylya, 25 yrs Leen, 26 yrs Ijyn, 36 yrs Mummy & 54 yrs Aunty. Haaa!

Nothing muc to say now…tired oreadi. Juz see photos laaa. 

Going after these 3 is most tiring!

Tired. After d Guangzhou trip, since den, i have yet to find a day to rest. Work, work & work. Glad d forum wen well.

Bro planned for Spore Flyer for d family on Friday nite. As I’m guilty of not able to find dat little time to spend with Mum before her haj and poor dad couldnt make it bac coz of d chaos in Bangkok *tsk tsk* - I tried to slot in d time & energy.

Unknowingly, d flyer trip meant for 5 adults & 2 toddlers became 9 adults & 2 toddlers = FUN!

Thanks to ALL whom made 07.07.2008 – 08.07.2008 a day neva to forget!

I’m glad, i’m remembered.

I had a fair bit of everyone to celebrate with. 

Fren who loved me, ex-colleagues who adored me, and of coz  – d ppl behind me alwaz ~ those under one (huge) roof :)

Little surprises…more surprises…d birthday song…SWEEEET!

I have to share dis. Reading it made me teared.

“Dear Adik,
 25 years has passed – you’ll be 26th. at end of today.
I’m sure you’re happy with what you’re doing – career wise and also fullfilling your obligations to your mother and members of the family. Keep it Up.
My advise – Never look back, go ahead. The past is history, learn from history and be as creative as you could to achieve your objectives.
Be a Good Girl as I’m very Proud of You.
A Very Happy Birthday to You.
Abah – plse. do not forget me when having your Birthday Celebration.”

My reply:

“Dearest Abah,
 Its really fast to be 26. Many changes has taken place, be it big or small – I still have to pull through..and always trying so as not to affect others in the slightest way. But by doing that, I have to withstand the pains myself. I’ll always tell myself to take it in d positive way though – I see them happy, it makes me happy.
 
Career – I believe no job is easy. Its a matter of how I want to handle it. So far so good. I am comfortable and coping well. I just got an increment..and my contract ends this Sept. Hope they’ll renew it *cross fingers* :)
 
Family – Fulfilling obligations is a responsibility. The outside environment (friends, life changes, work commitment, etc) could be a barrier and threat for me to fulfill those obligations…i dun deny that. I see it as something of whether I want to do it or otherwise. The least that I asked for is people to appreciate my doings for them…to appreciate the time that I sacrificed for my own happiness & freedom for them. I dun ask for much.
 
Life is short Abah. I want to work hard and earn like you so that I can dun depend on others. I would also want to try out new things in life…and lead a life like how a young adult should be living their life. As I get to know more people, I see that we are restricted by race & religion. The way we are brought up in life also differs individually. The dos & the don’ts…the cans & the cant’s…
What about age? Are we supposed to be restricted to what we can do & how far we can go by the age?
 
Your advise – Never look back, go ahead. The past is history, learn from history and be as creative as you could to achieve your objectives. — I agree with it alot. I will remember it always.
 
I have always been proud to have you as my dad too..although we dun spend time like other father & daughter does. I have always been motivated with your way of getting things done.
 
My Birthday Celebration – I had a fair share of everything.
Had 3 cakes…from friends, ex-colleagues & family. I received over 30 wishes through sms-es & calls too. Received 3 presents. I was told there are pending presents too *winks*
I treated mum, bro & wife, the 2 lovely kids & aunty’s family to a sumptuous dinner. Ended beautifully…of course, u were not forgotten :)
 
Thanks for d morning birthday call and this email Abah.
 
Take care always.
Adik”

That was the 1st time ever that I said of those things to him.

Duno why…but I just wanted someone to know.

His reply then:

“Dear Adik,
 I’m the proudest dad on earth after reading your email. Don’t let me and your mum down. All of us love you.
 Let’s pray that you reach to the peak that you desire.
 Would treat you and everybody when I’m back next for a “belated Birthday” celebration.
 Have A Good Evening, Abah”

I thot that was really sweet laaa…so I got emo…ahakz!

Anyway, I had fun the entire week. Pics will be uploaded soon :)
