Selangor Wins Chess Tournament

In my previous post about going to Klang, I haven't posted the overall result of this year MSSM chess tounament. The tournament was held a few months ago. Selangor won! Here are a few shots that I would like to share. I post this because my son is one of the kids in the picture.

Today my husband and I went for a visit at Matriculation College in Gopeng Perak. I just want to make sure my daughter, Rabi'atul is ok.I think everything is ok there.We were there for about 2 hours, then we return home. We spent some time to take a few pictures that I would like to share here.

Planning to go to Gopeng Perak

My husband and I are planning to go to Gopeng perak to register my eldest daughter for Matriculation on the 11th of Mei. Rabia'tul is my fourth daughter. Before going there we have to prepare several things. I hope everything would be ok. My daughter and I try to get some information about Gopeng and the place.

A Night in Klang.

My husband and I are bringing 4 of our children to Klang in order to bring back our son, Hasan from Chess tournament. We are killing two birds with one stone, before bringing him home, we are staying a night in one of the international hotel in Klang, Goldcourse Hotel. The hotel is so high up to 30th level above the ground. In order to save, I'm preparing fried chickens,cooked rice, fruits and sandwitches. I am also bringing some books for my children to read. I hope to be able to enjoy being with part of my family. Anyway, for compensation, I am leaving some delicious food and lots of loving advice for the ones that are left at home.

From Rawang To Bangi, Selangor.

Traveling by a train is a convenience way of getting to a place. Sometime my family and I want to go to my sister's place in Bangi. Since there are many of them, so the elder ones go by train. Actually the kids love riding in the train. Here they get to see other people and watch other places too. These are experience that are valuable to kids in their growth. Of course they have to follow certain rules so that they are not lost in there!

Life In Selangor

When our family moved to Selangor, our children were already nine. Now they are all eleven of them. Selangor is one of the peaceful places in Malaysia. It is next to Kuala Lumpur. If I want to go to Kuala Lumpur, I can just take a bus from Rawang where I live. Actually it is easier to take a bus than drive a car where you have to find a place to park. The bus service in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur is very good. (But make sure you know where you want to go, so that you can ask anybody there to make sure you don't get lost !)
Well, I like living in Selangor, But if my husband ask me to go back to Sabah with him, I still don't mind to do that as long as I am with him and my wonderful family. Right now we are enjoying living in Selangor in our own way!

Starting a family

My husband is from Semporna Sabah whereas I am from Malacca. We met when we were studying in the United States. We got married in 1985. We finished our studies and started working in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah until 1995. Then we moved to Semporna, Sabah.At this time our children were already 5. Here we are very much closer to my husband's family . Our life there was quite good. Everything is fresh especially sea food such as lobster, crabs, prawns and fish. Even fruits, vegetables and other things are inexpensive. Hmm... I can't wait to go back to Semporna !

My Wonderful Family, how I love them.

When my husband Sarip and I first got married in 1985 we never thought that we would have quite a big family. I had three miscarriage between my first and second child. After that our family just grow. Now we have 6 boys and 5 girls, altogether eleven. Anyway we have never regret about having a big family. Our love for each one of our children will always be the same. In fact we feel that we love them more than ever because the more the merrier. Everyone of the children always think of their siblings. When one is not there each one of us will miss the missing one.
The reason I am writing this blog about my family is to let my children know that my husband and I always love them so much. There may be a time when we say something that might hurt them but we always meant it well for all of them. Having a large family is not easy but we always somehow manage by God's will.To our children Razak, Salahuddin, Firdaus, Rabiatul, Nadiatul, Hasan Al-Bashri, Syamsudin, Nur Abidah , Safarghani, Rahimah and Ruqqayyah, we love you all very much!
