December holidays

Loving every second of my time spent with the kids. Thankful for each day, so much love, so blessed for having them

in my life.

Thank you for the fun times, my dear. We didn't travel far this year. Turns out the slower pace has also given us much opportunity to bond. Love love love!

We have been busy. Waking up early and going for breakfast daily makes a good start to the day. Here are some snapshots. I could only find these on my

phone.

Daily breakfast after sending irfan for his daily ngaji. One to one time with the girl while abang attends ngaji class.

One to one date with irfan before he goes for his ngaji.

Just hanging around doing nothing on the bed.

Enjoying his favourite hotdog bun.

A trip to Science Centre

Climbing, playing, goofing around at the beach and parks.

Theme park at Berjaya Times Square. 

Tried archery.

    

His favourite thing to do: climbing

      

    And more climbing

Hanging around at Publika.

Random day out running errands

Ice skating

Eat out

Marina Bay Sands. Got a lovely upgrade.

On certain days we just stayed home and played. When you have 3 kids, nothing will ever get boring!

And since we didn't go anywhere far, Irfan took the opportunity to go for intensive iqra module daily for almost a month. Alhamdullilah he has improved. This won't be the end though, this will be the beginning of his daily practice at home. In syaa Allah.

Blessed and so thankful to have another day to spend with them. :)

Happy 9th!

9 years ago, today, was the beginning of a journey. Alhamdullilah. 

From Mecca to Medina

Pictures from our trip. They were taken using my phone so some were edited due to the quality. We did not take that many pictures. Here's some we would like to share. 

Masjidil Haram: Thousands heading to that same destination.

The crowd 

Heading back

Me in Masjidil Haram during rare moments when there's very few people inside. 

We took only two pictures of the kaabah. This is one of it. 

The day of Arafah: The climax of Hajj. An unforgettable day. I can't describe it in words.

The tent where we spent our night in Arafah. 

Muzdalifah: Thousands gathered and rested till after midnight.

How we spent our time in Muzdalifah. Remembering how Rasullullah (peace be upon him) performed his Hajj and following his footsteps to the best of our ability.

Masjid Namira, Arafah. Where Rasullulah (peace be upon him) gave his sermon on the day of Arafah when he performed his Hajj.

Stoning at the Jamarat.

Our walk home from Jamarat.

The tent city of Mina. Surrounded by mountains.

The beautiful sky that accompanied us on our bus journey from Mecca to Medina.

The beautiful and peaceful Masjid Nabawi, Medina.

Masjid Nabawi. Below the green dome is where Rasullulah (peace be upon him) rests in peace. Subhanallah.

Masjid Nabawi. This is where Alim and I will always plan to meet and alhamdullilah we always managed to find each other amidst the crowd.

The inside of Masjid Nabawi.

Mount of Uhud : where the battle of Uhud took place.

Desert plains

Home. Reunited. Alhamdullilah.

A note from my lil 8 year old

And he did it again. Card chosen by him and a super sweet, thoughtful note to go with it! *melts*
