Sofea's story

Sofea in her Bali Mode

I received a sms frm my sis last week " Sofea g skolah harini.. bgn awal n excited sgt!" that is a pretty exciting news to me too..

Being the youngest n the only unmarried aunty, i am quite close to my nieces.. coz i've always wanted a younger sister.. and i always hope and pray if by the grace of God I got the chance to be a mother I would want my 1st kid to b a girl! y?
hmm bcoz i think clothing and accessories for girls r faaaar more variety compared to boys.. n cheaper to hehe

The girls enjoying the see saw



Generally , I have 9 nieces.. the eldest niece Nida is only few years younger than me n now pursuing her PHD in Aussie.. to me she is more than just a niece.. she's my friend, my sister, my counsellor, my soul provider , my banker hehe.. n i miss her a lot.. nantilah if i hv xtra $ i would go n pay her a visit..


My youngest niece Faten. 8 months, we lost her last Ramadhan because of Dengue Fever.. my sis tot it was just a normal fever so she just took her 2 the nearest clinic n given normal medcine 2 cure fever.. when the fever reoccur she was taken to HUKM , and warded but it was too late.. Allah loves her more.. Alfatihah to my Faten sayang..


Without Faten makes Sofea, the sister as my youngest niece.. she's only 3 years old .. but soo xcited of going to school so my sister send her to ABIM play school.. hmm seems like history repeats itself coz I also went to kindergarten at the tender age of 3! well during my time in the 70's that is pretty rare k..:)


Sofea is slightly different from other nieces coz dont know how n why but she is bestowed with curly hair! where else all of us in the family have str8 crowning glory!.. Sofea or Pia , my aunties in Batu Pahat would always call her Piah or sometimes Peah.. Her cousins would prefer 2 call her yaya as the influence of their fav tv series "Pepaya" .. and I love to address her as Ya or sometimes Sofiyaya coz it sounds cute


I hate the fact tht she is entering school.. coz sooner or later we will soon loose our little Goldilocks ..as she grows wiser she wouldnt want us to hug or kiss her publically , or do things for her, or give her piggy back anymore.. hmm most of my nieces refuse to manja2 wit me after the enter standard one.. and every single second i woud miss the daty they run to me n hug n kiss me once come out of my car.. n they would ask 1001 questions n demand 1 million things.. and as far as possible i would try to grant whatever their wishes for.. believe it or not if i say that almost 50% of my pay goes to them? coz i just love showering them with everything that they want not that my sis cant afford it.. so touched when they say " aunty jgn la kawin, nanti aunty xnak jalan dgn kitaorn, kitaorg saaaayang aunty " then give me a peck on my cheek.. hmm that is a sincere but very meaningfull utterance to me.. n they love me unconditionally..


I love them so much.. and will always do till death do us part.. even if I dont get a chance to have my own kids in the future i still have my Ain, Wawa, Sofea , Nida, Ina , Ika n Wani to love and care ;)








Faten, no longer with us but will always b in our heart!
