STF - 30 years after...

 “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

(STF mini library)

Thirty years ago, we sent our daugther Sara, to Sekolah Tun Fatimah, a premier all-girl boarding school located in Johor Bahru. And today, Sara is sending her daughter Alia to the same school!

Like her mother, we hope that Alia will be able to develop well academically, gain a sense of independence, make friends and learn critical social skills.

Good luck Alia. We pray all the best for you...

Bikers reunion at a wedding...

“In this life, we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love...” – Mother Teresa

(A small reunion of our bikers gang)

Today we attended a wedding reception in Dewan Dato Harun in Serendah, Selangor for Hj Long Zaini and Tuan Shamirul Afida's eldest son.

Many friends attended the wedding reception so it became a small reunion for the bikers gang. It was so great seeing them and touch base again. It has been too long since we last met. We were away most of the time, so we missed a few of the teh tarik sessions with them.

Doraemon Run 2024

"Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything..." - George Bernard Shaw

This morning we were caught in the crowd in Kepong Taman Metropolitan while having our morning brisk walk.

There was a Doraemon Run 2024 event open to all ages. The event features both a 7km race and a leisurely 3.5km stroll, where participants run alongside with family and friends.

House Warming and Marhaban...

"Your home should tell the story of who you are and be a collection of what you love..." - Nate Berkus

(The Marhaban group reciting the yasin)

The jemaah of Masjid At-Taiyibbin was invited for Majlis Tahlil and doa selamat at Cikgu Fathiah's new house in Dengkil. The Marhaban group arrived earlier in a bus and the muslimah looked smart in their uniforms. I was not in the Marhaban group so hubby and I arrived a bit later in time for an early lunch.

Cikgu Fathiah's new house is located quite near and a short walking distance to the Madrasah Islamiah Jenderam Hilir. The madrasah, better known as Yayasan Al-Jenderami is a modern Islamic Study Center established in 1985. 

To Cikgu Fathiah and family, we wish you all the best and have many incredibly happy years in this lovely new place.

(Hubby and Abang Rashid)
