Hanna is 5 !!

March is the most awaited month for Hanna... kept counting days since February looking forward for her birthday... (this is one of the way I did to help her learning the concept of days, weeks, months and how to read calender). She was so excited about it! Dan aku malas la nak pening2 kepala... plan nk buat makan2 sket and doa selamat je kat rumah jemput rakan2 seagama (berapa kerat sgt kenalam Muslim kitorang kat sini selain dari org2 ofis abaji yg 2-3 org tu) and most probably mcm thn lepas, repeat small party je kat skolah dia. Hmmm... but a week before the date, tergezut jugak bila dia kata, "I don't want to celebrate my b'day at school." Her firmness on her decision made me wonder if there were anything wrong at school.

Tried to find out what was going on (it wasn't hard to find out, as I'm a part time teacher helper on volunteering basis) I didn't find anything weird or unpleasant with the school or her friends or her teacher. In fact, I was so happy (and relieved?) seeing her intellectual and social progress. That derived me with a conclusion, that she is simply her... doesn't like crowd too much (like her Abaji).

Maka dengan itu mak pun sudah melompat kegumbiraan, sbb tak yah la fikir nk beli party favors, snacks and cakes utk 11 org budak dlm kelas dia... hehehe... Kita buat kat rumah je yek?... And she gave me another surprise when she only wanted to invite Auntie Wan, Auntie Zarina, Sarah, kakak Hajar and Uncle Hamid ONLY!!!!...
Lohh?? what about Uncle Iqbal, Uncle Amir, Auntie Sara and baby Redha? (dia mmg cukup jaki kalo aku main ngan baby Redha... jeles tak hingat!!). Dia tak bagi invite... aduih laa... serba salah mak dibuatnye.
Since Zarina and the girls couldn't make it (sbb buat on the week night, weekend mak bz...), maka the guess of honor were only Auntie Wan and Uncle Hamid...

On the birthday itself (during the day), Zarina called nak blanjer Hanna kat Baskin Robin with Sarah and Hajar dgn bagi hadiah la bagai... ohh.. rupa2nye twice celebration jugak b'day dia thn ni. Thanks Zarina!!! I didn't go with her sbb hakak (std la las menet...) baru la terkedek2 nak cari hadiah dan gi Vienero's beli cheese cake super sedap dan gemok itu... Mmg sedap, no wonder it's Governor Zeti's favorite. Kalau dtg sini mesti tapau bwk balik M'sia hakak Zeti itu. Well, party utk 5 orang je, tp mak dengan rakusnya membeli kek saiz XL hehehehe... (dgn penuh keinsafan, purposely beli without toppings / decorative icings). Hehehe... ni mak ke anak yg nak makan nih??... Dgn penuh rasa guilty (sbb x jemput Iqbal, Amir and his family) Abaji tapau ler sikit bawak gi opes kesesokan harinye. And the rest, cuba teka sapa yg langsaikan??... kehh... kehh...

Happy 5th Birthday anak mak sayang... semoga membesar dengan sihat, kuat dan menjadi anak yg solehah... amiin...
