alhamdulillah ... muhammad haris is 8 today!

anything spidey is what the birthday boy wishes for today

celebrating life during aidilfitri 1430H

1 syawal 1430H / 20 september 2009
k264a, kampung pasir puteh, 31650 ipoh, perak
while we adults are thankful to be able to fulfill our obligations during ramadhan and again celebrate syawal ... to the kids it is all about fun ...
mintak opah kek sepotong, saya mahu makan kerna perut kosong ... nur mukhlisah (3yo) waiting for opah to slice up the cake (courtesy of mak lang ... hand-made wei!)

tragedi di pagi raya ... then we used to look forward to wear our raya clothes but nowdays kids can get new clothes all year round. muhammad imaduddin (2yo) totally spent on opah's sofa after crying his heart out in protest. diaper will do for now ...

abah's little girl is all grown up now.

cucu dara pingitan cikgu an, mukhlisah and cousin, naurah sabihah (4yo)

having fun and about in opah's lawn ... can't find this in kl

hero-hero kampung pasir puteh (from l-r): jemi, muhammad saiful islam (7yo), imad, muhammad haris (8yo) and jehan.

... tadi ada lima, sekarang tinggal empat.

belangkas import dari kl.

imad: in your face ... until i get my duit raya!

there is still (more and longer) life yet in this ol dog

ryan giggs is a man on a mission. super-sub giggs set up both goals for berbatov and o'shea after coming up from the bench and subsequently sent united to the top of the table.
he's out to prove that winning last season's PFA PLAYER OF THE YEAR award wasn't a fluke or just out of sympathy from fellow pros.
english football's most decorated player is now playing at 35 like the same ol cocker spaniel way back in the '90s and made fergie's plan to replace him in the next one or two years almost an impossible task.
alongside scholes and neville, they're the last of fergie's fledglings. here's to SIR ryan giggs! truly a legend. nani, take note!

... cheeky reply from fergie before the derby match with regards to possibility of united playing second fiddle to the citizen.
i missed this game as it was on the first day of hari raya. a friend back in kl updated the score via text messages. 1-0 ... 1-1 ... 2-1 ... 2-2 ... i know i missed a blinder! in the end, fergie's charges made sure he did not have to swallow back his words when united came out top in one of the most pulsating derby ever seen in manchester.
ever so sweet when the killer punch came from owen, a player that was brought in to replace tevez and did not cost anything to united. like a true gentleman, he did not take all the credit to himself and only had this to say "... never going to pass up an opportunity to play for team like this". great stuff!

life is so precious ... always be thankful to Allah SWT

this picture was taken sometime early or mid last month...completely 'lembik'. haris was having high fever and at last (after some mix-up on findings and procedures that has seriously undermined the capability and competency of our education & health authorities) was confirmed to be Influenza A H1N1 positive along with one of his classmate.

syukur alhamdulillah, after losing almost 5kg ... he has now fully recovered. he's fasting as if nothing had happened. when we break our fast he's eating happily as before. loving whatever his mama cooks. insyaallah, haris will have no problem fulfilling the obligation of the 3rd pillars of Rukun Islam. these things make you appreciate life more and to be grateful with whatever you have. our son is back and is healthier than ever. insyaallah, we can now look forward to celebrate aidilfitri together again.
