So near and yet it didn't materialise at all.

Regrets ? Sometimes.

Feeling bad? Sometimes..

Why?

Not good enough. Period.

Not meant to be. wrong time.

Don't know why I am doing this. There is no turning back.

I have signed up for a one week course on translations. Learning the ropes of translating from BM to BI. Its the second day now.

Yesterday Sunday was a full day stretching from 8 in the morning to 10 pm at night! It rained hard after class.No way was I able to go travel home at such a late hour. But having a room all to myself is not very comforting.

Today I learned to translate legal papers among others. It is not easy to get the correct and précised term . What is "should" in normal translation becomes "shall" in the legal term. It is a very tedious job , slow and long hours spent pouring through the dictionaries etc. just to get the exact words. Translations is not about translating of words but more of translating of meanings and keeping close to the source language as one can possibly can.

Come this Sunday it will be exam day.Hmm... don't know in what state of mind i will be when the time comes. it is most taxing mentally and physically.

Oh well....Que Sera sera.

Mother's Day. Hmm....To many out there it is just another day on the calender, while for others it is a day where the other family members give that special treat to their member of the family called mother.

But to us the Omarians, it is a day on the calender to look forward to.Well, it isn't a day off for us mothers for sure. It is still the normal routine. In fact even more hectic than the usual. But it is a day where we get to meet, eat and be merry.And that is what we are good at. Eat and be merry. With great chefs like mah, zizah, kak and rufa all with their speciality dishes what more can one ask for. OOps.. sorry, amal and dah included, of course.Wish you were here Dah.

But this year, the planning is being taken over by the nieces. And they did a great job . The menu was simple but this time there was something extra nice to the atmosphere. The deco was nicely done.Ballons and placards. But there was something melancholy about it all what I can't express in words.

Anyway, bouquets to Syuhaida,Syahirah and Syafawati for being the backbone to this year's event. I suspect Kak also a few says here and there. Thanks Kak.

Thanks Azizah for the lovely pastry and bag holder, Mah for the lovely cakes and chocolates,syuhaida and adik-adik for that lovely flower and picture, Rufa for the best mee mamak in town.And most of all thank you to all the dads who were around that day. Missed your presence zubir. Of course darling hubby as usual got himself stretched out on the floor, zzz..zzz.. come what may.

Looking forward to the 29th June 2010.

Syuhaida. Ni gambar mak lang ambil dari your collections. Thanks. And welcome aboard to my daughter. Happy Mother's day to you dear.
