Maryam 5th Birthday

Happy 5th Birthday to the most wonderful daughter of mine... Alhamdulillah, Maryam turned 5 this month. we had a bit of celebration at home and at school. but today I wanted to share a few memories of her school birthday celebration last Friday.


Strawberry shortcake theme

Tahun ni I decided not to give out any goodies bag to the children, instead I ordered Bento meals for them. Maryam is having a bit of allergy this time, so I removed all the foods that I suspected she is allergic to especially junk foods/fast foods. Alhamdulillah , I managed to find somebody who could prepare bento on a large scale.. she is a home based baker and skilful too.. boleh buat dessert also boleh masak homemade foods prepared from scratch...lega rasa. Paling penting terasa guilty-free sebab tak menjamu apa-apa jenis junk foods to the kids. I could easily put stationaries or other stuffs as goodies bag for the kids, but it was not cost-effective for me. rasa macam membazir jugak. Hence, I niatkan dalam hati bagi anak-anak tu makan as kenduri sajalah... seronok tengok depa enjoy the foods. Menu in the bento were Bolognese spagetthi kuah tak pakai preggo okay.. dia buat sendiri to suit the kids. ada buah, ada homemade cookies, ada homemade bun too. Kenyang depa makan hari tu.

Let's check out some of the pics,

BEING THIRTY.

I JUST TURNED 30 TODAY! weeee.....

how do i feel?? well, being 30 at the beginning of a new year is not that bad okay...i accept that i am finally entering my 30. see i keep repeating the number 30....hahahah...

i guess it is true that age is just a number. u can be 30, 40 or 60... but u can still feel and look great AND appropriate with your age.i don't wanna be in denial that i am no more in my 20's. so i'm just gonna go on with my life like usual.

when i thought about people who were 30 back then, for me these people were basically a well balanced and matured adults. how can we be 30 but not matured?? i don't see the logic here. so this thought kinda gives me some reminder for myself to act and think maturely too.

"Women need to embrace that ‘get better’ mind-set in their thirties, forties and fifties,” i read this line somewhere in a magazine not too long ago. i don’t want to eat anti-aging creams by the dozen in hope I’d stay young, instead of focusing on what I love and staying young at heart.

at this particular age, i guess i am quite stable.In the past, there were amazing events, i met a soulmate, had my baby, but also other events i could have gone without. Getting old is fine to me. and i fell like slapping people in their butt especially people who have a negative mind set that being 30 is soooo frustrating. like u are an old makcik... annoying!

so, turning 30, where i am right now??i don't wanna be crazy over setting a goals or resolutions anymore. remember when we were a lot younger, we loveee making azam baru.. hmm...doesn't appeal no more. hehhh...

just that i think i should focus in navigating mylife right now with simple mindfulness.Being totally myself. Know who I am even more and be it. No hiding, holding back, doing more that I can handle. ( ok yang ni tak sure.hahah).Be rocking at my best. AND most importantly try to improve my relationship with Allah S.W.T. Ameen...

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TO ME.... ;)
