Today

Today, 30th September is my youngest daughter's birthday. She is 20 today. It seems like yesterday she was just a small baby with thick spiky hair running around our old house in an army camp.

She has two elder sisters who are pursuing their tertiary education in areas connected to English Language. But not this last kid who thinks matriculation will kill her, so she rejected the offer to go to matriculation. That was in 2008.

Instead she went to a small college and study Culinary Arts, something which was not related to her pure science class when she was in form 4 and 5. But Culinary Arts is her passion and this small college just suits her fine.All she wants to be is a CHEF.Nothing else.

She is doing well in her studies. She is able to cook hundreds of western dishes, much to the delight of her two sisters. Their moral support for her comes in a very strategic manner. They search for recipes for her to try!!

In November 2009 she went to Meritus Pelangi Beach Hotel in Langkawi for her practical training. She spent 4 months there. And just recently I was told that she scored 4 flat for her practical. I thank Allah for His blessings.

Adik, you are 20 today. May Allah bless you with good health, good brain and brawn and good manners too.

As your mother, I am always here to support you, like what I have done for the past 20 years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND BE HAPPY ALWAYS.
