School Friends

Nazrin with his two closest friends at Hampstead Primary school, Rahul and Matthew "bullying" Nathan. Being the only Malay pupil in this school has not prevented Nazrin from enjoying his classes and making friends.

Unlike schools in malaysia, Hampstead Primary like many schools in Australia has a small enrollment. Low fertility characterizing the Western society resulted in an ageing population where there are less kids and young people.

Anak special ku

This is my anak sulung - NAZIM, still comel, walau dah dekat suku abad usianya kini. Walaupun dikatakan "cacat", dari banyak segi dia banyak mengajar ku bahawa kita yang sempurna ini yang sebenarnya cacat. Kehadiran Nazim dan anak-anak lain sepertinya sesungguhnya menyedarkan kita mengenai pinjaman masa yang dikurnia Tuhan kepada kita dalam bentuk USIA kita. Adakah hari-hari kita dimanfaatkan dengan sebaik mungkin? Adakah kita membuat orang lain gembira? Sudahkah kita melemparkan senyuman untuk menceriakan hari sesorang hari ini? Sudahkah kita memberi pujian kepada sesiapa atas usahanya yang baik? Adakah kita lebih baik hari ini, berbanding semalam?

FRIENDship ... let it lasts

My son, Nazrin with his classmate, Keith after the performances at the Hampstead Primary's celebration night on Tuesday, 27th November. The event was held at the Ross Smith secondary school's gym, Northfield, SA. They are in Year 7 who will graduate from primary sch and move to secondary sch next year. Nazrin, however will be returning to Malaysia soon. He will be in Form 2 at the Sek. Men. TTDI Jaya Shah ALam. The friendships he forged at Hampstead Primary are very meaningful and will remain as sweet memories ....

Real Kids

Fun at Work

UiTM's Park & Amenity graduating students, Shakila (on my left), Soleha (on my right), Suraya (in front) and Salabiah (UUM graduate) posing at the Muda River Estuary during the field survey for my hubby's PhD Research 5 - 11 May 2006. The study covers 4 mukims namely, Kota, Kuala, Hj. Kudong and Bukit Meriam. We stationed at Balai Penghulu Kota, Masjid Kg. Bukit Meriam, Balairaya Kg. Tepi Sungai and Penempatan Transit for the 2004 tsunami victims. We also hunt for tourist at Pantai Merdeka, Merbok - Lembah Bujang Archeological Museum and Penang's Feringghi Beach. For government officers, the research assistants had to hunt for them at their respective offices as they did not turn up at the survey stations though invitation letters were sent out early to inform and invite them. Talking about "turun padang!!"..hampeh!!

Tradisi Melayu

Tersenyum Manis Gadis Jelita
Bersila Gagah Anak Teruna
Tradisi Lama Amalan Kita
XKan Melayu Hilang di Dunia

Bachelor of Town & Regional Planning Students added color and success to the Opening Ceremony of UiTM's Heritage Center for Malay Arts. Datuk Seri Rais Yatim, the Minister of Arts and Heritage officiated the event on May 4th 2006.

Student LeaderS

Hazrin, Neily and Faiz have little problem handling the tough academic schedule and out-of-class activities. Students like them will turn out RIGHT! InsyaALLAH.
