Jules is Anxious...

...awaiting some exciting news from Darling Husband. He says that the announcement should be made by midday today. And for some reason, he had me bake my fudgies last night so that he could bring them to the office today, to be shared with his colleagues... I wonder....

Anyhow, Esfahan is celebrating his Teacher's Day at his SK Desa Pandan today. His anxiety had been building since last week, when he brought home the memo stating that the school's Teacher's Day celebration will be on 19 May 2009. He had listed down the names of his teachers whom he wishes to give presents to, which dear old mommy here helped to create lah. And this morning, he wrote on each card "Selamat Hari Guru" and the respective teachers' names. Then off he scurried into the car with a big paper bagful of gifts for his beloved teachers. Damascus and Marrakesh had their Teacher's Day party last Friday itself; it was a no-uniform-party-day, and all was fun :)

Amidst all this joy and excitement, my heart goes to the dearest people in my life who are going through some very trying times. Yeanti, the champion of all matters benevolent, hang in there dear friend, God is multiplying your strength in a manner that you will soon come to realise, insyaAllah. Other family and friends, don't give up on your faith, strength and love come to those who believe...

In the meantime, I am also anxious about some news and some things from afar; where one of the things has something to do with Lulu Guinness. Well, it's just too bad, and too sad, that no one has written in to tell me if they think Jules should have a 2000th Hit Surprise, so, I guess there's no need for me to share this news and I also guess that I'll just keep it all to myself then... Nevertheless, Jules is, as always, truly, truly grateful for the continued support from dear family, friends and patrons...everything is made possible by you! :)
