Zayd and Hannah will be bound for Zurich on 24/2 for a 5 day trip for their honor band festival. Thinking that it is such a short trip and the amount that we have to spend plus the current fincial gloom..I decided not to go... But over the weekend..I met with Mrs. Elkins who is their choir teacher and the spouse of their band conductor/teacher..how she entuse about the whole thing and what an opportunity..and how proud I should be for not just one but two who got selected..it makes me thinking..Well...for a fact..I do not want them to be really involved in music as we know what are the limitations..all along since it is a subject learned in school..we tend to let them to go along with it..while all the time we feel that we should not encouraged them much. But at the same time thinking..better now than later? Very conflicting logic... Although we ourselves do not understand one note of it when they practised and asked how it sounds..we will just go uh..uh...okey..??!!??
But this year...they audition for the place to be in the honor band festival to be held in Zurich, where selected students converge from all over the world I guess...and be in a band and play together..I believe to be selected is indeed an achievement...Actually...the teachers may not understand our reactions at all when they entused about the whole thing..they seems more overjoyed than us..thanked for all our support and encouragement and wondering where the talent came from...Well...we are actually not really that keen but we think while in school..why not let them have the feel of it....Many may not bein agreement but Allah swt knows our intention...
And thus..after contemplating and with the guise of..why not go..just incase Zayd or Hannah face a problem...I decided okay..I might go...than Azlan says..if you go alone..the kids are busy with their own schedule and you will only see them on concert days. He said..why not I try to get a few days leave...what the heck he said..its only money..insyaállah it will be recovered soon enough..hmm...so today..if he got the leave..we shall be on our way..provided if we can get the tickets...

I'm in dilemma too when the kids enrol in the ISG school. This Tuesday Sophea involve dalam lip syncing performance.. menari2 gitu.. sangatlah tak digalakkan tapi what to do.. macam akak kata better now than later.. tapi kan, what if this interest continue kak?
Salaam Neeza..mcmn dgn baby..so cute and kak harap you are recovering well.. Tulah..hal2 sekolah ni.. tapi insyaállah kita try our best to letak guidelines.. For the music class till grade 9 disini..so lepas tu tak lah galakkan lagi..tp with other things like Ipod..Youtube and Disney Channel..Hannah Montana etc... We try our very very best..
Alhamdulillah.. baby sihat kak.. dulu macam nak kena jaundice.. tapi readings low jadi doctor tak warded.. neeza breastfeed a lot.. Alhamdulillah, okay dah nampaknya...
Ilham wanted to go to DUbai for a football tournament, but we thought the expense was a little excessive.. :P
But if Azlan is going with you.. apa lagi... budak2 berconcert, mak bapak honeymoon ler ;)
Have fun!
