pasal rumah pulak

so we have keluarkan our kwsp, again, to help fund our house project.

so far, we used the money we saved (from not having to pay the monthly loan) to buy pots and plants, side table, coffee table and custom made a shoe rack thingy!!!! that, is by far the most exciting thing. hehehe.

Next project will be buying pinggan mangkuk, fork and spoon, cuttlery crockery stuff.

If ada duit lebih nak buat the glass door in our bathroom.

pastu nak buat pantry, inshaAllah.

and buy some appliances like tv for downstairs, sofa, toaster, dryer.

tengoklah ye if duit cukup.

oh oh...i also framed some of the paintings i bought. me likey!!!!!

nanti i tunjuk gambar yek... :)

smart soleh

You know, it took me forever to find a kindy for Andi. With Dani, it was easily decided that we would send him to GA. We wanted to send Andi to GA as well but they did not have any centres in BSP. Plus, last year, I was still hoping that he would be placed in my uni's kindy.

So, after searching high and low, I decided to send him to Smart Soleh Islamic Intergrated Kindy.

What made me decide on the school?

Let me tell you, I went to so many kindies in my search for the right kindy. Dari Islamic montessori, Islamic kindy to Integrated kindy. Macam-macam ada di pasaran skarang. I didn't look at kindergarden macam Qdees or Smart Reader because my nephew and niece went to both and both did not place any importance on religious studies. We, Dr Sunshine and I, have earlier on decided that we would send our boys to an Islamic based kindy.

Anyway, like I said, there are so many kindy available sekarang in terms of Islamic based punya. So, it all boils down to what you look for in a kindy.

I wanted a kindy yang nampak cantik, good facilities, nice teachers, great silibus.

Smart Soleh ni, shortlisted sebab I like the fact that they conduct solat dhuha and yassin recitals on Fridays and there's practical solat everyday. Also, they have a show and tell session on Fridays whereby each student will go up on a small stage to talk about some thing. I think that is great to instill confidence in a child. Pasal reading tu, memang sama je la dgn other kindy I suppose cos they conduct it on one on one basis.

Tapi, there us something else that I particularly like about Smart Soleh. I like the fact that Andi brings home something from school every day. Hari tu, terkejut I bila dia balik and cakap dia buat origami. I thought it was such a big word for him to use. hehe. But yes...my fridge is now filled with his art work dari colouring to collages. So much so, Dr Sunshine kata kena beli file to put his art work since dah banyak sangat. heheheh. Macam Dani dulu. he doesnt bring back his art work. Selalu tengok masa dah end of term masa report card day.

And...I love the fact that school starts from 8 to 12. Rasa berbaloi la sikit bayar 240 per month tu. And, sometimes, they feed him twice, sekali masa morning break and sekali masa tunggu mak cik ambil from school.

And, Andi loooovvvvveeessss school. He talks a lot about it. Buat exercise la, nyanyi la, baca doa la. Hari tu nak masuk rumah, he alerted Papa...nak masuk kena masuk dengan kaki kanan sebab teacher kata.

oklah....

next week cerita pasal dani pulak. Registered him for kafa. lets see if it will be good for him.

first day of school

AD's first day of school!!!!

I survived his first day. Tapi belum apa-apa dah hilang 2 batang colour pencil ok. Geram ai. I cld sense the boy he was sitting with tu sesuatu. Sebab masuk2 kelas jer, terus keluarkan colour pencils dia yang 36 batang tu ala-ala show off.

Tapi,....bila dah lepas rehat, teacher suruh buat colouring, jadi kedekut pulak and tak bawa keluar colour pencil dia and took AD's instead!!!! *geram* Nasib baik I marked the colour pencil already. So I told AD to ask for his colours back. If tht boy tak bagi, sila bagitahu teacher.Hmph.

Then, there was the incident ambil from school. AD was not at the place we have earlier agreed on. Orang semua dah balik ok. Tinggal sikit2 je orang. I panik and went to the canteen to look for him. Non ado. Naik kelas, tak de gak. Walked back to the place and saw him running towards the papa. Rupa-rupanya he got lost on the way nak pergi tempat tunggu tu. And, papa (who was waiting in the car) came because he called Papa since tak de orang tunggu dia. Thank god my boy pandai!!! Alhamdullillah.

His orientation will be till the 18th. 23 baru start bawa buku ikut jadual.

Ittew saja laporan ai!

hari productive

I felt so productive yesterday. I managed to cross off a lot of things from my to do list.

I have been quite busy this past few weeks. Among the things I have accomplished are:

1. registered Andi for kindy
2. found a babysitter for the boys
3. finished reviewing a journal article
4. finished filling up the frgs form
5. found cleaner for house
6. exterminator pon dah jumpa!!
7. settlekan pasal keluar duit from kwsp to bayar loan rumah
8. tempah rubber stamp for AD...senang iols..nanti chop chop nama ajer.
9. beli pakaian sekolah AD and his books
10. got AA his school bag.
11. settlekan document for 51
12. photocopy stuff for AA and AD's school.
13. submit my claims

I feel so lega....especially after I found the babysitter and registered AA for kindy. AA loooovvveeessss his kindy, so I am very happy.

Now, I need to:
1. ambil passport pix of the boys
2. finish up my book chapter for kom
3. finish up book chapter for w&phd
4. beli jam for AD
5. print out form and cv.

ok..ittew saja. :)

pasal tadika

Oh Emm Gee....susahnya nak cari tadika!!!!

You see, AA will be going to kindy from next year onwards. At first, it was pre decided that he would attend GA since AD did so well over there.

Tapi.....es gibt keine GA ins BSP. How????

Memula....memang nak hantar dia ke TunasPermata...but it was full.

So, I went around BBB looking for a place. Found one Tadika Aulad. Love the kindy, hated the daycare centre!!!! Pusing-pusing lagi, and all the kindy and taska were not up to my fussy standard!!!!

Terus pening ok.

Then, I thought...hmmm....siapa nak jaga Aaron? So, fikir punya fikir, decided to look for babysitter je for Aaron and that Andi can go to the same babysitter lepas habis kindy dia. So...half day kindy je for Andi. Thus begin my search, again!!!

And, Alhamdullillah, I think I found one kindy yang ok, in terms of the silibus used. Its called Smart Soleh. Fees is rm240 for kindy up till 12 (tapi can hantar from 630am and ambil a bit later). The only thing that I am a bit concerned about is that it is located on the 2nd floor of a building so nanti kena climb a lot of stairs. Tapi takpe la kan....excercise. Pelajaran dia macam GA sikit cuma dia ada solat duha every friday and also a show and tell thingy (atas stage uols) to build childrens confidence. I think it will be good for AA. I really hope he will love this kindy. I plan to send Aaron there nanti as well in 2014 when he is 3. So dedua sekali harung kat situ kan.

There was this iium affiliated montessori in BSP. I was quite keen with the school tapi, i didnt really like the fact that they will only start teaching kids how to read when they are 5. Maybe I am part tiger mom kot...wakakakakak....but I really would like AA to start learning his abcs when he is 4. Lagipon, the fees is 350 (but kindy up till 3pm).

I hope it will be a good experience for AA.

On another note, I think I found a babysitter for my babies. I am kind of OK with the place. Will send the boys over beginning esok to see how they can adjust. I hope they will be ok with the place.

patah hati

you know what? sometimes, you think that whatever you watch on cerekerama or drama or movies will not happen to you. Well, it does.

For 3 years, saya berssabar, hoping that he would change. And for that three years, i have been fooled.

Last week, i found out that it was still going on.

Sigh....tak percaya pon ada...How can someone so loving be like that? Tapi dekat dalam drama pon ada, kan? Orang loving dan romantic tapi tiba-tiba??

So, I told his sister and mother about this situation.

Right now, I am praying for the best.

I hope I will find happiness again.

I hope I will learn to trust again. But you know what? After being fooled for so many times, I dont think I can.

Friends told me to act indifferent to get him to come back.

It is so hard.

SO FREAKING DIFFICULT.

:(

shattered into pieces

kadang-kadang, in life, kita kena give in. But how long will you able to do that.

Please. Please remember the promise you made.

I would not hesitate, if it happens again.

:(
