mendaftar anak ke sekolah.

Since I had a lot of free time (ok.tu tipu cos asg tak habis pon lagi!), i have been googling about potential schools i am thinking of sending AD for std 1. Apa, you kata terlalu awal untuk berfikir sedemikian? Uols...pendaftaran anak uols ke standard 1, selalu dibuat masa dia 5 years old lagi, in hopes that ada place dekat your chosen school. if not, kenala campak skolah mana-mana uols!

tambahan pulak, sekolah rendah kat kawasan perumahan ai tu, satu tu je. oleh ittew, ai dah pesan siap-siap kat Dr Sunshine untuk membook tempat whenever it is opened for registration (usually in March).

tapi, dalam masa itu, i love the idea of AD being in SRAI. there is one in Bx3 but ada entrance exam. The school is under kelolaan jais and only accepts about 200 students each year. i would really love it if he gets accepted there, insyaAllah. Yang sekolah tu pon,kena ambik borang permohonan to sit for the exam. tapi only when the kid is 6 years old. so kena tunggu next year, i guess.

its so amazing that i can stay up to research on all this things tapi nak buat kerja, satu pon tak jadi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p/s: hmm..dah besar dah anak bujang ai!

mengaji

yesterday,i found out that my anak bujang pergi kelas mengaji. uh....rasa macam dah besar pulak si AD tu. papa already send you to kelas mengaji.

technically, memang dia baca pon iqra' tu kat GA. but saje je Dr Sunshine send him for mengaji of friday nights, sementara nak tunggu Dr Sunshine yg usually locum on fridays tu kan, bolehla AD spend his time wisely (katanya).

So, its twice a week, but Saturdays tu, he'll only go if papa is working, i guess.

sigh. i cannot believe that my first born dah besar. he is still a baby to me.

tapi kan, tetapla anak bujang no 1 tu ala-ala pemalu. hmm..pergi birthday party pon, if nak main games, nak papa teman. sangat beza dgn AA yang terus akan bermain tanpa mengambil kasih siapa ada. hahah..

tangkapan semasa jualan murah

uols...dengan dukacita dimaklumkan, tangkapan ai tak la sebanyak yang diharapkan! honestly, i expected the clothes to be cheaper namun, mungkin cheap di poket orang lain, tetapi masih lah biasa-biasa aje di poket ai.

walaubagaimanapun, sempat la merembat 3 pasang seluar utk AD and 2 pairs for AA memandangkan sekarang dorang dalam fasa nak pakai seluar jeans berpoket sahaja. got a shirt for AD and a tshirt each for AD and AA. got two sets of perfumes for Dr Sunshine dan juga 3 handbags for me. hehe.

am thinking of going to the city centre, just to tgk2, manalah tahu, ada lagi baju2 kat mothercare atau primark yg mursmurs tu kan. nantila, bila cuaca mengizinkan dan yang paling penting, bila ai dah habis buat assignment. matilaa..dah nak balik pon tak sedar diri assignment belum siap. tsktsk tsk.

ok...sekian laporan tanpa gambar ini. :)

car seat and tali pinggang keledar

do you make your children wear their seat belts in the car? and the little ones, do you make them sit in their car seats? or do you prefer to 'riba' them instead? or maybe, masa pergi kedai dekat, you just let your child sit at the front without his seat belt, sebab dekat je kan?

fact is, it is extremely dangerous to let your kids sit without car seats, and let alone, without seat belts. sangat bahaya uols.

ai terpanggil to write this because i just recieved a bad news from Dr Sunshine. My Uncle lost his 4 year old son in a car accident. Entah macam mana, the car terlanggar tiang tol. My uncle suffered from fractured ribs, his other son who sat behind was unhurt but his 4 year old who sat in front injured his hips and was not able to be revived when brought to the hospital. and, yes, he wasn't wearing his seat belt.

sedih uols bila i dapat berita ni. sedih sangat. i don't even want to imagine how it feels to lose a child. i don't think any parent could.

I also know and realize that ajal and maut sudah ditentukan oleh Allah. But, it doesn't hurt to take some precaution. It made me realize the importance of seat belts and car seats. Alhamdullillah, my boys have been trained since they were babies to sit in their respective car seats. AA, who didn't have the previlege of menaiki kereta when he was a baby (cos we always naik public transportation in wien), only made a fuss masa mula2 diperkenalkan dgn car seat when we were back in Mesia. But now, he is used to it. Alhamdullillah.

Aside from that, I remember cerita yg i pernah dengar. About a father yang bawa anak dia pergi kedai dekat. Anak dia was sitting kat seat belakang. And, masa father dia drive, anak dia berdiri in between the seats. Father drove really slowly. But a car tetiba terlanggar his car. His car only had minor scratches. Memang mcm tak payah nak ketuk balik or anything. Tapi anak dia? Anak dia patah kaki. Imagine, budak kecik patah kaki. Tak ke kesian???

So, I think, as parents, we need to be responsible for their safety. Biarlah anak kita melalak masa kita baru2 nak letak and biasakan dia duduk kat car seat tu. Lama-lama, he or she will get used to it. What is important is their safety.

Takziah to Uncle Mat and family. Al-Fatihah.

anak saya

dani: mama, semalam dani pergi subang parade. papa beli buku matematik untuk dani.

mama: oh..ye. very good dani. bolehlah dani practice matematik untuk sekolah. mama ada beli 2 jeans untuk dani.

dani: yeay!!! dani ada 2 jeans kat rumah mak, 2 kat rumah papa and 2 dengan mama. so dani ada 6 jeans.

(mama rasa amazed anak bujang can count)

mama: wow...pandai dani buat matematik (refering to his ability to add the amount of jeans)

dani: mama...mana dani buat matematik. dani just kira berapa jeans dani ada.

mama: *tepuk dahi*

************

semejak dua menjak ni, anak bujang no 1 dah reti tengok jam. so he is very particular if papa ambik lambat.

dani:papa, hari ni pukul berapa papa habis locum? papa balik pukul 1 boleh tak?

papa: papa habis locum pukul 2. lepas tu, papa ambik ok?

at 2.06

kring kring

papa:hello dani

dani:papa, dah 2.06. papa kata habis kerja pukul 2 nak ambik dani. ni dah pukul berapa dah ni?

papa:errr

**************

papa: andi, andi nak pakai apa hari ni?

andi: jeans. jeans ket (poket)

tahu tak kenapa kena pakai jeans poket? because nak letak kunci. i tell you. both my sons mmg ada fascination dengan kunci and jeans! dani now will only wear jeans or track bottom. he insists on wearing only long pants!! i wish he would wear shorts cos i think boys his age looks cute pakai shorts (especially when i bought him so many!!!). now andi pon dah menurun perangai the abang. but at least he is still ok with shorts, as long as ada pocket. how laa???? papa dah pening tengok anakanda. hehe
