Tennis Training

Assalamualaikum

The Eins are having a half-term break from 18 until 22 Feb. Most of the time we stayed indoor but we went to the park whenever it is sunny. Though it is sunny, it is cold as the temperature still below 10 degrees C. 

But it is better when comparing it during dull and gloomy weather. At least we had sunshine so we do not want to miss it! This time i had a better idea. Instead of just playing at the playground, I suggested to play tennis. :)

Hubby and i really love playing tennis, used to play during weekend back then in Malaysia and also few times last Summer. So it is good to have a start and have ann exercise after so long, which at least made us sweat a little. :P

So this time we went to Goodmayes Park instead of South Park. Here, it has four court tennis while South Park only has two courts. We went to South Park first actually but the both courts were not available.

Actually, all the four courts at Goodmayes Park were not available when we arrived but afterwards we noticed the players at one court had finished and about to go home. So we booked the court quickly after them..:D

while hubby and me playing, the Eins also played in their own way. Yup, we bought junior racquets for them too. When i am tired and rest for a while, hubby had trained Zahin and she was up for it. Within short period of time, she can already serve and return the ball! Way to go, Zahin! Clap clap clap.

she was so determined and she did not let me play with hubby as she wanted hubby to train her more..hehe. As a result, Babah tak puas main...sebab kene train Zahin! :P 

The next two days which wa yesterday, the sun came out again so we went again to train her..she still need a lot of practice though..if she wants to be good at it...hehe..

anyway, as long as she has some exercise that will be good. We tried to persuade her to go for swimming  because she's Athmatic, but to no avail. I think she's not ready yet. hopefully she can have swimming lesson once we return Malaysia, in shaa Allah..

Goodmayes Library

Assalamualaikum

I love books and I love reading so much. My mom said there's no use to ask help from me if i already indulged with reading materials. I would be serious, focus and concentrate on it so i will not hear anything else. :D I also don't mind skipping meals just to finish a novel. Hehe. 

I also love hanging out at the library as well to study or have a group discussion and to do revision. I like the quietness there and no one bothers me. There is an indescribable feeling every time i go to a library. Maybe the quiet ambiance makes me calm and relax or because of the so many books from various fictions. I don't know..hehe.

By the way, we managed to visit Goodmayes library for the first time last year. Yeah, you heard me..we just went once. It was very hard to find time to go since both of us were busy with study. But hopefully we can go more frequently this year in shaa Allah. :)

Let's check it out!

Goodmayes library from the the front view

Goodmayes library is under Redbridge council. Goodmayes is a neighbour to our house resident area which is Ilford. But Ilford is also under Redbridge council and here each council have their own library. But the reason we went to Goodmayes library instead of Ilford library is because it is nearer to us. Just a 5 and 10 minutes walking distance from Goodmayes Primary School (the Eins's school) and our house. :)

Inside the library ;)

Once i entered, the same feeling rushed all over me. Hehe. Seriously best, uols. I straightly fall in love with the ambiance!! Starting with the receptionist desk, the arrangement of the books shelves and lastly of course the children reading corner are far separated than the adults's! Ini sudah baik! Knowing my kids, they are loud and cannot sit-still type. ;D

The children corner was awesome. It is so cheerful with bright and colourful carpet and wall decorations. The cute mini set of book tables and chairs were fantastic, very suitable for children heights..hehe. And the books? Heaven! I got crazy myself and feels like 'golek-golek' on the carpet reading those amazing children books! ;D

The receptionist aka the librarian was so friendly. I have never encountered such librarian before. Not even at IIUM ok... :P 

The lady librarian always smiled and attended to us kindly. She even approached us at the children reading corner and invited us to come to their activities such as story-telling after school time! She wrote down the sessions on a paper for me and said we can come in without calling or being a member. How convenient! :)

I remembered when we lived at Stratford, we had to register as a member to access Stratford library..hmm leceh sket tp best sebab dapat library card and we registered though but we just went once due to time-contraint..

But not with Goodmayes library..;)

happy and content before leaving the library. :)

So far, I have noticed that Zahin also have the same passion. Iris and Zafri are still too young to tell. Hopefully, they will follow our footsteps. Hehe. 

So when Zahin knew we went to the library, the bookworm was so envy and angry knowing us going to the library without her ok. hehehe. So i have promised that i will definitely bring her together next time. Instead, babah already took her ( Iris & Zafri too!) while i was not around somewhere last month. ( I went to Oxford Street for the second time and i was alone. Shhhh! :P)

Ok till then, Wassalam.

Baju Raya Pilihan Hati

Salam

Insya Allah tahun ni kami akan beraya kt sini lagi. Tak balik Malaysia..sobs. Tapi keluarga mertua nak datang beraya kt sini, jadi taklah sedih sgt sebenarnya. Sekali nak makan angin. Hihi Can't wait! :)

As for baju raya kami plak, family kedua-dua belah nak sponsor lagi. Hihi Ingat nak pakai aje baju2 raya tahun lepas aje tapi dah family murah hati nk sponsor apa salahnya..;) bersyukurlah kan! so Thank you so much! ^_^

So again, tak dapat pilih baju raya sendiri jadi hanya mampu tengok online je lah. Geram tengok koleksi baju-baju raya 2012. Cantik-cantik tapi harganya pun mesti cantik, kan? ;P

Tadi boring2 pegi google baju raya. Jom tgk few yg yours truly bkenan..(All pics Credit to google)

Sweet kan LS pakai baju kurung moden plain ni. Suka jg top nya yg kembang kt bawah...lain dpd yg lain ;)

Baju kurung lace ni pon cantik..but the combination colour is what i love most!

Hmm yg ni very the elegant! i loike..bcoz it's geometrical pattern then different pattern at the top and bottom ;)

yang ni plak baju kurung bersulam..sulam dah biasa tp sesetengah sulam yg banyak dan unik mcm ni nmpk classy dan kerlass gitu! :P

aaa look so lovely this kaftan chiffon. i love this kind of caftan. labuh kt tangan. tp still kene pakai inner kot sbb transparent kan..;D

Nway, since my family in law akan sampai pada hari raya kedua, jadinya raya pertama tu kami still kene pakai dulu baju raya tahun lepas. Itupon dipakai sekali dua je kt sini. Hihi. :P

So hubby will most probably wear his black baju melayu again. :D The Eins tatau lg nk pakaikan yg mana satu.. Zafri pakai casual sbb dia tade baju melayu huhu. for me, i think i shud wear my caftan which i bought at Bandung in 2010 and i'd just worn it once. Sbb klu tak pakai raya ni, bila lagi lah nak pakai kannn. Hee. Let's see if it's still can wear..sbb dh lama dok dlm kotak kt store tu. jangan dah mkn hari sudah! huhu..

Okla, happy shopping baju raya everyone! kt sini baru nak masak utk berbuka puasa plak ni, harini lambat sket masuk dapur =)

Wassalam
