A must watch!

This wonderful movie was screened to students in Aqila's Madrasah last week. As Aqila and I watched it again later on, I realised that we learned a lot about Islam by watching it, not just Aqila but I too. It is a good material to start a discussion about Islam and Prophet Muhammad SAW.




We shared the link of the movie to our dear aunt and in return she gave us a link to another great movie about the same theme. It is titled "The Message" produced in 1976 and starred by the late Anthony Quinn. It is such a great movie, you should watch it!

Rough Seas

The first installment....! 

Properties: Lego ships, Aqila and Bunda's creation

a iPhone5 camera

a flexible feet tripod for iPhone

an orange or contrasting coloured wall for background

a blue blanket (thanks Eyang Ti for lending us yours :))

a whole lot of patience

Now we know that we need to take many many many frames to make a smooth movie and many more frames to make a longer movie. But we get the idea :)

Calm Seas

Domino Craze

A much better version...with Ayah's help.


Domino is just one of those wonderful stuff Bunda bought for you, am I right Aqila? (Grin)
It helps to know that it is cheap too (less than 9dollars) :-P

Sengkang LRT Ride

Have got nothing better to do during our LRT journey to Sengkang MRT Interchange :)

Kiddy Rides in Singapore

Always an old soul, i straight away fell in love with this video  the moment i watched it. It brings us back to the olden days...when everything was simpler...:-)

Ya, di Singapura masih ada Kiddy Rides seperti ini. Di pasar-pasar di pelosok kota, kita masih lihat satu-dua Kiddy rides ini. Kalau tidak percaya, pergi ke Hougang Central, ada satu toko yang masih memajang Kiddy Ride ini dan masih banyak ibu-ibu memabwa anaknya ke sana sekadar bersenang naik 'ride' ini  :-)

Aqila used to ride on them! Cheap ride resulting on a very happy kid ...

Experience is the best teacher

Doing Sound check at the Republic Poly Cultural Centre

Early this year, Aqila and his friends in School String Ensemble participated in Singapore Youth Festival (SYF), in String Ensemble category. The competition is held every two-year and is open to all Primary schools in Singapore.

This was the first time their school participated in this 'huge' competition. I said huge because I learned later on how serious all the participating schools treated this competition. This is the place where schools showcase their talent, and boy...what amazing talents these kids have!  The competition was organized in a very professional manner and the seriousness of this competition instantly felt by whoever attended the performance on that day. From the combination of the judges to the place this competition was held (Republic Polytechnic Concert Hall), all summed up the importance of this competition for the participating schools.

Aqila's school did not get any award this time round but I think it is all right. It is what they have accomplished during the preparation that really matters. They learned team-work and discipline ooh...believe me, to get to this competition they had to put hard work and strict discipline! They also learned to listen to each other, literally and metaphorically, which was not easy as children tend to think only about themselves :-)

These kids are very talented indeed :-)

Despite his young age (he was only 7 years old, in Primary 1, when he joined the ensemble) he was able to cooperate and work together with his ensemble-mates who are all older than him. I am soooo proud of you Aqila!

Experience is the best teacher, i am sure these kids have learned so much during the whole process. I am just thankful Aqila was one of them :-)
