New Uniform and Big Year of 2011

The new school session has started. 'Aliah is going to her secondary years, Baby has become a senior in her afternoon session primary year. New uniform for them, 'Aliah with her navy blue long skirt and white baju kurung, she was so used with her prefect uniform in her primary years before this, so seeing her in a white and navy blue uniform is a little awkward to her mommy. Baby being appointed as a prefect is having a new look with a yellow and brown uniform. She was so excited on her first day to school, and looked cute in her new uniform, though the vest is quite big for her..

'Aqilah being appointed as a prefect too..is also having a new light blue and dark blue uniform..'Ariff the handsome boy looks good in his white and green uniform

All the best my kids...Strive for success. 'Aqilah and 'Ariff, you're having your big exam this year.. Mommy knows both of you can excel, but no matter how smart you are..you need to put your effort into everything you do and tawakkal to Allah.

2011

The New Year 2011. Any new resolution? Getting better, healthier, richer and everything with the "er"...

On the New Year Night..I was watching television with my daughter, watching the here and there celebrations of the New Year..I was so surprised when my 8-years old daughter asked me.."mommy, why must we celebrate new year?..everybody seems so excited ..they stay up late..be in the crowd just to wait for the clock struck 12.00 at mid-nite and shouted "Happy New Year".." I was thinking about the same thing..and watching the celebration in one of the local television channel..looking at how a 5 year old kid (to be precise - a small n young actress)..staying up late in the middle of the celebration, being interviewed on her latest debut of acting ... how can some parents.. (in general) take out their kids (even some of them are babies)..going out for a new year celebration..got stuck in the traffic..exposing the kids with all sorts of negative exposures..having fun in their own way.. why must we celebrate everything with concerts? formal and informal hangout gathering???.. and etc...???

It is not wrong to have a new year resolution..but to start something good with "bad" things and actions..is it worthwhile..???
