On and on.........

Years, Months, Weeks and Days passed by and here I am still blogging. I maybe away and disappeared for a while, somwhow somwhere somtimes I do find the time to click again my thought for the moment to keep my blog updated.

Today I was not feeling too well, came back from work early and was laying on the sofa for few hrs. Later I got bored, I asked Vel to hand me over my laptop.
I decided to write whatever that came into my head.
I know it's probably the same story about my kids, my family so on and on and on...

PART 1 You see..... it is true as I just told myself, it will be about the kids......

My children grew up very fast and sometimes I felt my responsibilites is getting much tougher.
Gabriel which was once a baby 4 years ago, has been picking up multi language over the years, questioning, reasoning and very happily going over to a friend house to play for hours after hours.
Lately, he started having to bring home one homework each week. I know when I compared to Europe which we are so used to, kids of that age are never given any homework. All they do is play. Which is actually very good for a kid of 4 years old to play as they developed much better by playing and interacting with other kids.



Gabriel first homework and it was in Arabic as you can see below. It can be a little difficult to teach or guide him when no one in the family is familiar with arabic.



Elrener my eldest daughter is going to start her First Year of the University after this summer holiday. She is so used to ,moving from school to school depending on where we lived. Somwhow I am very proud of her, she did well in school even with the tremendous changes she had to go through in her teenage life. I know that changing school from one to another in the same country is considered an uneasy task for most children as they have to start all over again with friends.
Elle(given name in short)has been going though changes from different country to country. Sometimes, she may be coming back home and start crying when she began telling me what she have been though the first few days at school. She spent thorugh tough time with the stupid treatment from her classmate when she was new. Eventually after weeks, sometimes even months, she somehow manage to blended herself into the team well.




Elle with her classmate when she and her sister Vel was living alone by themselves in an apartment in Stockholm, Sweden. She is the shortest one in her class. I guess this was the most difficult changes she have been going through the first few months in the school.
She left this school to moved back with us in Spain. She was sad as usual but now she is happy again in a new school and new friends.




Veldiner the middle child is turning 16 this year. She loves ridding. Vel is totally different from her sister. She hardly goes out with friends over the weekend. Her time is spent with the family much more than any other teenage kids does.
Every Saturday, Peter would send her to her ridding classes. This is basically what she have been doing over the past years in Sweden.
Unfortunately, she stop playing violin which she used to played in Sweden for almost 2 years.
I guess it is better to keep herself busy with different activities that she enjoys doing rather than hanging around without getting any benefits.

My ohhh my.... I am not young anymore.


Peter and I, the mid age couple with a grown up teenage girls and a small little boy.

PART 2

Turning back to the memories which I use to do when I was young, I love partying till late morning, going out with friends every night and yet be able to wake up and go to work the next day. Freedom which cannot be explained or describe.

Family life is wonderful. I love every minute of it and I cherish every moment I could when the children are still living with me. Sooner or later, somehow I would say,"sooner" one by one will start having their own sets of life and move out someday. Having a daughter which will be 18 this year, will not be long enough for her to have a dream of moving out in a couple of years more and probably loves to experience living on her own.

After 36 years of my life, I did realised one thing as always that I wanted a good life and future for all my children.
Peter and I have started several business venture to be able to pass on to the kids someday. Insyallah.. our dreams slowly by slowly has come true. Never give up what you doing and keep on working to aim for them, which have to come perfectly true.

Part 3

Although the past days was crazy with all appointment and meeting for Peter, I had to get myself onto the feet to support. Since there have been many major chances in my life, I am very well aware that it will be many more changes to come. Accepting changes can be difficult for some people as everyone likes the idea of being comfortable to do something which they are so used to on their daily basis.




Part 4
Completely two different story, Elle is out tonight to stayed over at her friends house as tomorrow is a school holiday. While the children are free, parents are invited to the school for a parents and teacher meeting. Sort to get my mind off the free relaxing day tomorrow, I will be spending few hrs in school while the kids can be free and have a good rest at home.
Meeting Gabriel teacher first thing when we are there will only takes us maximum 20 mins. Somehow in 15 mins after the meeting, Peter and I will have to attend the seminar to decide which University will be good for our daughter. A friend whom have been living here for years, have advised me to put into consideration to put her into the American University in Cairo. Somehow since she is in the American school at the moment, I would guess it will be a brilliant idea to look into that.

Now I just ordered a home delivery KFC. I am too tired and too sick to be standing there cooking and since Peter will not be home for dinner, which left Gabriel, Vel and myself, we decided to have something fast.

It's 22.00 hrs now and Gabriel is rubbing his eyes. It is too late for him now which he normally goes to bed latest by 20.00hrs.

Hope I will feel better the next morning...
