Ayah Ulang Tahun!

 

Alhamdulillah...ayah ulang tahun April lalu. Terima kasih ya Allah, ayah masih diberi sehat, diberi umur dan kesempatan berkumpul dengan kami. Insya Allah sisa umurnya berkah ya!

Lego customized nameplate bikinan Aqila hahaha! 

Aqila, Ayah pernah berkata, kalau ada keluarga atau teman yang ulang tahun, sesibuk apapun kita, coba ulaang tahunnya dirayakan dan sempatkan memberi kado ulang tahun. Kado ulang tahun tidak perlu mahal, bahkan bisa buat sendiri seperti yang Aqila lakukan tahun ini. Yang penting...ada kenangan. Itu sebabnya, walau sederhana, kita sekeluarga selalu sempatkan makan bersama. Bunda selalu coba masak agak istimewa hari itu, dan kita berfoto bersama. 

Teruskan tradisi ini ya Aqila. Nanti kalau Aqila sudah sekolah jauh atau tinggal jauh dari ayah dan bunda, sempatkan menelepon kami di hari istimewa kami. Video call, zoom atau facetime. Tentu paling baik adalah jika kita bisa berkumpul bersama, tapi..this will do. Ingat ya Aqila...

Ulang tahun di bulan Ramadhan. Biasanya...hari2 bunda lemas dan tidak ada energi untuk beraktivitas banyak. Alhamdulillah...demi ayah tercinta, we were given extra strength to prepare a simple Tumpeng Nasi Kuning ...yeah!

Haircut the Old Skool Way

The boys went to Hassan Barber at Hougang to have their hair cut, the old skool way :-)

Nowadays people want to do things fast, with instant result. 

Well, it is nice to go slow and enjoy the process some times...

The boys in the house like to go to this barber to have their hair cut. It usually takes at least half an hour to get the haircut done, from waiting for their turn to getting their hair done. Most times they need to spend an hour or so to go to this barber. If they choose to go to "QuickCut" barbers, with their modern appliances and fancy shop, the boys will only need to wait for approximately 15 minutes, in non-peak hour ya. However...the process is done super fast, without any interaction between the stylist with the customer, which to us...add value to the whole experience.

So...if you have time...go to traditional barber like the Hassan :-)

Boeing...boeing...

Aqila has always been interested in airplanes, everything about them from the models, the science/technology behind this modern marvels, the history of flights to the different airlines armada from around the world. 

So naturally, whenever Ayah is away for business trip, he would take notice of the type of airplanes he would be taking on that day. 

Here are some snapshots he took on his recent trip. Care to guess the airplanes' models? :-)
