First Things First.....

Keep On Writing!

2013-07-02T01:24:00.000+08:00

I haven't declared myself moved... But slowly I have transferred myself to a new 'port'. While keeping my old desk as it is in the bilik guru, I also have another old desk in the new admin office. Well, the admin office have moved to the first floor, right on top of the old one. Mind you, the old one now is a new finance office of the school!

So, that's the new admin office...

This is my new 'old' desk...customised with my own stuff, making it my 'port' of huha. Although I know that most of the time there'll be no 'huha' here, compared to the old port in bilik guru, where we talked about what we like, eat what we want, and do whatever, ouside of the classroom, (being a proper teacher, that is). Aah well, I guess being greedy once a while is ok. (having 2 desks/2 ports) Right? Welcome back!

Gigi

2011-09-25T11:02:00.001+08:00

Balik dari kerja suatu hari, Nu'man tunjuk pada saya giginya. Anak ini yang waktu itu baru 9 tahun membuka mulutnya. Saya menjerit, kerana terkejut yang amat, dan rasa sedih bercampur baur. Apa tidaknya, gigi hadapannya yang cantik, putih dan baru masuk 2 tahun tumbuhnya itu telah patah! 2 batang gigi kapak kekal itu saya tengok telah patah serong. Kedua-duanya sekali! Saya terus ke doktor gigi supaya doktor boleh menilai sejauh mana gigi itu boleh dibetulkan. (Dalam hati berdoa supaya semuanya ok)

Itulah mulanya perjalanan ujian gigi Nu'man. Akibat dari jatuh tersembam di sekolah, 2 gigi itu telah patah serong. Hentakan yang kuat bukan saja menyebabkan ianya patah, rupa-rupanya akar gigi yang baru nak berkembang itu telah rosak. Hati saya menangis waktu itu. Menangis yang saya tak dapat tunjukkan padanya. Doktor Rusman menenangkan hati saya sedikit waktu itu, dengan menyebut ianya boleh dibetulkan. Tapi bagaimana dan berapa lama dia sendiri tak pasti. Setelah ditampal dan kelihatan macam gigi asal, kami balik ke rumah. Baberapa hari selepas itu, dia mula kesakitan. Gigi yang ditampal itu terasa sakit. Saya bawak semula dia ke doktor. Rupanya gegaran hentakan membuatkan akarnya rosak dan renggang. Dah berlaku infection. Hendak tak hendak terpaksa lah satu dari 2 gigi itu ditebuk untuk menghilangkan rasa sakit dan ubat tahan sakit yang diberi lebih berkesan. Gigi itu dah bernanah dan doktor cuci hingga bersih. Saya kena bawa dia ke doktor semula selepas seminggu.

Begitulah ujiannya. Ia bukan berakhir di situ saja. Gigi itu selalu saja sakit dan kena infection yang akhirnya doktor membuat keputusan yang rawatan akar(root canal treament) terpaksa dibuat. Maka bermulalah proses root canal. Setiap kali datang gigi dicuci bersih2 dan balik. Berkali-kali. Sampai masa hendak dibuat, doktor dapati ada masalah besar. Waktu itu 2 tahun dah berlalu sejak gigi itu patah. Akar gigi baru itu rupanya belum cukup berkembang dan lubang sarafnya agak besar. Susah untuk dibuat rawatan akar. Tapi doktor kata boleh cuba. Hati saya tenang sikit.

Proses rawatan akar bukan sekejap. Doktor dapati salah satu gigi tersebut dah pun mati. Akarnya rosak habis. Dan doktor kata lama-lama gigi itu akan jadi hitam. Tapi doktor teruskan juga dengan rawatan akar.

Setelah beberapa minggu rawatan akar selesai. Saya rasa lega. Anak itu pun nampak lega. Dia memang anak yang sabar. Tidak pernah mengaduh sakit waktu mengadap doktor gigi. Dia pun dah besar, tahun itu tahun UPSRnya. Tup-tup selepas UPSR, gigi itu sakit semula. Saya rasa pelik. Sebab dah buat rawatan akar sepatutnya susah nak sakit. Bergegas ke doktor lagi. Bila dibelek ditengok, rupanya rawatan gigi itu bermasalah. Mungkin kerana akarnya belum tertutup habis, rawatan itu kurang berjaya. Dan masih terkena infection. Doktor pun jadi serba salah. Option mencabut gigi itu adalah option terakhir. Dia masih budak lagi, takkan nak pakai gigi palsu. Lalu doktor Rusman pun 'melepaskan' kami. Kami diminta merujuk specialist untuk decide apakah langkah seterusnya.

Bayangkan specialist gigi. Rawatan biasa sahaja pun dah mahal. Inikan pula nak ke specialist. Saya talipon rakan doktor gigi kerajaan, untuk maklumat specialist kerajaan. Alhamdulillah, rakan mencadangkan specialist di klinik Jln Tanglin.

Dengan surat rujukan doktor, saya bawa dia ke klinik kerajaan Jln Tanglin. Klinik yang tenang dan damai bersebelahan Muzium Kesenian Islam itu menyejukkan hati. Biasalah klinik kerajaan, pemeriksaannya bermula dari A semula walau pun surat rujukan dah dibawa. Bagusnya ialah doktor akan nampak apa masalah dari awal. Pemeriksaan sungguh terperinci, x ray dan x ray dan x ray dalam masa beberapa kali kunjungan. Tapi mesti ikut masa yang ditetapkan. Kadang2 pagi, kadang2 petang. Kebanyakkanbya memang petang sekitar pukul 3. Pernah sekali kami terlambat setengah jam kerana jem, appointment terbatal dan ditunda ke hari lain. Frust betul. Tapi itulah klinik kerajaan. Alhamdulillah kosnya memang hampir tiada. Budak sekolah hanya bayar seringgit. Tapi prosesnya sangat lama. Kena pergi berulang kali. Selang 2 minggu atau sebulan. Saya terpaksa berkejar dari tempat kerja dengan izin Pengetua, ambil anak di Tadika dan terus bawa Nu'man ke klinik. Queue jumpa specialist memang panjang. Kalau miss satu appointment, kena tolak ke hari lain mungkin sebulan lagi. Bila dah terkena sekali memang serik.

Alhamdulillah, doktor tau masalahnya dan didapati root canal sebelum ini, terlebih tusuk ke dalam yang menyebabkan gigi itu sakit. Doktor cuci gigi dan balik. Next appointment cuci lagi dan balik. Kemudian keluarkan root canal yang lama untuk satu gigi dulu. Nu'man kata macam lega, takde rasa berat pada gigi. Kemudian cuci lagi, dan balik. Berulang kali dari tahun lepas hinggalah sekarang. Sebelah gigi dah pun selesai, rawatan root canal yang baru. Doktor kata lubang akarnya dah tertutup. Sebelah lagi masih dalam proses. Ada masalah sikit sebab untuk keluarkan root canal lama, tak dapat dikeluar semua. Baru separuh. So next appointment kami ialah November nanti.

Nampaknya berulang alik lagi lah saya ke klinik di Tanglin. Entahlah sampai bila.Allah beri ujian saya begini. Dia saja yang tau bagaimana susahnya bekerja, berkejar mengurus anak. Macam-macam hal. Kawan2 rapat memang dah faham kelam kabut rutin saya. Orang tak tau memang tak tau. Memang ingat saya keluar dari sekolah entah pergi ke mana, entah balik rumah berehat..Tidak sama sekali... Penatnya Allah saja yang tau..

Anak ini dah Tingkatan 1, dah mula rasa conscious giginya yang dah mula lebam. Tapi saya kena tunggu rawatan akar/root canal selesai barulah nak hilangkan lebam gigi...Hmm, entah berapa lama lagilah ni....Ya Allah permudahkanlah...

Menjaga Orang Alzheimer....

2011-08-16T05:55:00.002+08:00

Lama blog ini tidak dikemaskini. Macam biasa bila dah lama dibiar, nak mula menulis semula agak payah. Bukan sebab dah lupa nak menulis macamana, cuma tak tau di mana nak mula. Banyak cerita dan rasa, tapi terlampau banyak.

Bulan Ramadhan ni macam biasa teringat abah di selatan tanah air yang 'keseorangan'. Walau pun duduk di rumah berdua, dia macam bersendirian. Isterinya (mak tiri saya), mengidap Alzheimer. Alzheimer ialah satu penyakit nyanyuk-lupa atau 'senile - dementia' yang dialami oleh sesetengah orang2 tua, selalunya yang berumur 65 tahun ke atas. Biasanya simtom awal tidak dapat dikesan, tetapi tanda2nya ada. Mula2 bertekak dengan abah pasal letak duduk barang, seperti kunci rumah, jarum benang, pinggan mangkuk, barang2 memasak dan sebagainya. Lama kelamaan, bila penyakit ini sampai ke tahap advance seperti yang dialaminya sekarang, dia dah jadi lebih keliru.Percakapannya tidak difahami, dia seperti mahukan sesuatu tetapi tiada perkataan betul yang keluar dari mulutnya. Hanyalah 'mumbling of words'. Badannya jadi terlampau kurus, hanya tinggal kulit dan tulang. Makannya kadang2 lupa, dan jadi cerewet dan memilih.
Siapa yang menjaga dia? Abah. Full stop. Tiada orang lain. Kesabaran abah diuji Allah lebih jauh lagi dengan penyakit ini. Terpaksa menjaga seorang yang lupa. Yang Alzheimer.Abah yang lebih memahami dia.

Mungkin ada orang yang tertanya2 kenapa anak2 tidak membantu? Ceritanya bukan pendek. Cuma Ramadhan ini doa yang banyak ialah untuk abah. Semoga Allah memberi abah ganjaran yang berlipat2 kali ganda kerana kesabaran dan kemuliaan hatinya. Biarlah Allah ringankan beban yang ditanggungnya. Janganlah ada masalah lain pula yang menimpa abah. Biar Allah berikan kesihatan yang baik untuk abah walau pun tinggal berbaki sedikit(abah ada sakit jantung, darah tinggi, gout,etc etc). Adik2 semua pun, doalah untuk abah. Ramadhan bulan yang kaya dengan keampunan, keberkatan, dan doa orang yang berpuasa dimakbulkan Allah. Jangan putus berdoa untuk abah...

First Things First.....: Happy Teacher's Day

Rumplestiltskin

2011-03-02T19:53:00.002+08:00

Anak Murid saya di Tingkatan 2 sedang sibuk menyiapkan props untuk drama Rumplestiltskin...Malangnya minggu ini mereka tak dapat nak melakonkan drama ini kerana masa pembelajaran dipendekkan untuk memberi laluan kepada sukan. Minggu depanlah...saya beritau mereka. Saya bersemangat tengok mereka bersemangat. Azahari dah siap buat pedang kecil kerana dia akan jadi Raja...Alif dengarnya dah beli hidung palsu sebab dia akan jadi Rumplestiltskin...Tu belum termasuk persiapan barang kemas palsu mereka macam rantai dan cincin yang akan diserah kepada Rumplestiltskin kerana menenun jerami jadi benang emas!

Wuhu...tak sabar nak tengok lakonan ni....

La Tahzan

2011-03-01T23:53:00.002+08:00

Segala yang berlaku pasti ada hikmahnya. Saya sentiasa berpegang kepada prinsip ini. Saya tahu kita merancang, namun Allah ialah Perancang yang terbaik. Memang ada kedukaan pada hati ini, tapi saya boleh cover.Kalau ikutkan hati ...mati, kalau ikut rasa binasa...(ada satu sign board tepi jalan di Kuala Pilah tulis macam ni) Mungkin macam tu lah rasa hati ini...Tak sabar nak sukan ni habis...supaya rasa hati ini hilang sebaik habisnya sukan...

Hari ini saya mula mengambil alih kelas Sains Tingkatan 2. Ada guru yang ucap 'welcome back' pada saya...Yes, memang 4, 5 tahun lepas saya mengajar subjek ini, tetapi kerana bebanan tugas, masa mengajar dikurangkan dan Subjek ini tidak tersenarai dalam jadual saya. Yang ini pun menimbulkan sedikit kedukaan di hati ini...kerana anak2 ini dah jauh tertinggal silibus. Tapi saya akan cuba cover. Harap2 mereka seperti saya juga, masih bersemangat untuk berterusan belajar dan belajar...Mengajar mereka bermakna saya juga akan belajar...alhamdulillah.

Hujung Minggu Yang Sibuk

2011-02-28T00:41:00.002+08:00

Hujung minggu yang baru bermula iaitu Jumaat tengahari, saya dah bergegas mengambil anak di Kuala Pilah yang kena balik 'wajib'. Melalui 'LEKAS' perjalanan yang panjang dapat dipendekkan. Itu pun dah memakan masa 1 jam lebih.. Bertolak agak awal juga memandangkan anak ini sudah menunggu sejak lepas Jumaat kerana blok asrama dah pun dikunci untuk mengelakkan pelajar dari berada di dorm.
Sampai di SMSTJ tercari2 dia. Rupanya sedang bersembang...bila nampak kami, macam teragak2 mukanya. Waktu bersalam, dia menyebut sambil tergelak..' Ha hampir tak kenal abah..' Matanya memandang songkok yang dipakai suami. Memang songkok baru tapi designnya lain sikit. Sedikit tinggi di tepinya. Mak mertua kata songkok ala 'YB'. Hmm...

Sabtu berkemas sedikit selepas memasak sarapan pagi..Benda2 biasa yang saya suka buat bila berada di rumah...mengemas sikit2. Message dan panggilan telefon bertalu masuk kerana bayi Cikgu Fazliyati, rakan sekerja telah meninggal dunia kerana lahir tidak cukup bulan. Saya pergi ziarah sekejap bersama beberapa rakan. Cukup mengharukan melihat bayi sekecil itu yang cukup sifatnya dan wajah yang amat comel. Wajah ahli syurga.

Petang pulak sibuk uruskan hal anak2 yang kena beli itu dan ini. Habis sehari Sabtu.

Ahad tengahari ke jemputan kahwin anak seorang rakan. Meriah juga. ada pilihan makan capati selain nasi minyak. Jadi saya makan capati. Selesai kenduri cepat2 balik dan mengemas barang anak bujang yang nak balik semula ke Pilah. Dalam perjalanan, selepas area Taman Rekreasi Ulu Bendul, ada kereta masuk sungai dan terbalik dalam air cetek. Dalam perjalanan balik, jalan jadi jam....Sepatutnya sampai dalam maghrib,tapi jadi lepas Isya. Itulah perancangan Allah. Kita merancang Dia yang menentukan.

Itulah dia hujung minggu saya. Memang sentiasa bergerak ke sana ke mari...

What's Goin' On Lately

2011-02-22T18:09:00.003+08:00

Angah at the closing ceremony of his orientation week, giving a speech.

It's been a while..

Angah is in SMS Tuanku Jaafar Kuala Pilah already. The first few days there he called a few times. Losing this and that, updated me on his classes and so on. We know he's ok. He hasnt called for a while. We kinda miss him. His Dad keep on asking me whether he had called or not. We definitely going to visit him this coming weekend. Just to see how's he doing.

Nu'man is in Form 1. He's a tough guy. Having to walk everyday about 3/4 mile to school across the hiway. I bet he's going to be slimmer by mid year. He did complained the first 2 weeks that his leg hurt. But now not anymore. He was selected to be in KAA class which includes Arabic Language as one of the extra subject. He's going to be ok too. As a mother, I know this...

Ammar is alone at the primary school now. Without his brother Nu'man tagging along like last year, he is brave. More mature as he got to make all the decisions related to school matter like when to go back, when is the sports training, what to buy during recess etc etc.

Muhammad is going to the same pre school. More confident this year, I hope. Sometimes I am late at picking him up after school and he didnt mind at all. He feels more secure with all the confidence of being at a very familiar place with familiar faces..He love drawing and singing although all the drawings and singing only related to Ultraman and Spiderman( sometimes related to stuff he learnt at school). I'm still amazed at his talent of memorizing melody. It is excellent...

Kakak is doing very well in her Uni...So far her result is very good, managed to get Dean's list every semester. I hope and pray that she keep up her good performance. College really teach her a lot in life...and she is still learning.

As for me....I'm still the same. Trying to help managing the school as best as I can although the problems that I have to face sometimes tough enough that I dont know when it will end. But they are challenges. Not obstacles. May Allah help me.

My husband? O, he is still the same handsome guy that makes my heart fluttered....

Why Oh Why

2010-10-18T00:57:00.002+08:00

Why
- build another rapid transit system when we already have 2, at about the same place?
- build another tallest building when we already have very tall white elephants here and there?
- use epf's money to fund stupid project? If you don't have the fund don't do it la...
- expecting to boost economy by doing mega projects when rakyat know that theory of trickling down effect is just a theory. The rich are going to be richer and the poor are going to be poorer.

obviously someone somewhere is bancrupting the country...

Up and Down

2010-10-14T01:43:00.002+08:00

Sometimes you just lose the motivation to work.
To feel that now actually is a really bad thing for me. At the time when I need to have that perk to come to school every day and seeing the year 2011 blinking inside my head.
Life is like that. Sometimes it can go down, way way below.
Who should I talk to about this?
Maybe I should just walk away in the middle of everything one of these days

1)and go binge-ing with Syima at nearby Sabak to have all-you-can-eat steamboat dishes eh...

2)Or just drive to Sri Layang with Cik Tim and buy that expensive-like-crazy fresh strawberries in the nearby farm. It's just a 30 minute drive from school what...

3)How about begging Che Rubi to drive her still-smell-like-new H**da and go to Setapak and hop in to KWSP office there to talk to that really really nice receptionist for 5 minutes and then go window shopping...

4)Or just call my hubby darling in the middle of the day and ask him to treat me hi tea at KL Tower just the 2 of us....he he...

I bet the excitement will get me going again...at least to let me finish the book list for next year and start filling in the tasks for teachers...hmm...

Summary of Everything

2010-10-06T20:16:00.004+08:00

And then Raya had passed. Syawal is near the end. Nu'man my third son(Alang) had been through his UPSR and PSRA and currently Tariq (Angah) is facing his PMR. My eldest in college is fighting with her final assignments, soon her final sem exams while at the same time going through many phases a college student should be going through.
Like today, she smsed me saying that she left her bedroom keys inside and have to wait for her roomate to come back from Mid Valley which is going to be a bit late like at 10 pm and she's already tired.
Well, what could I do....If close by I would go there and fetch her and entertain her a bit but it's an hour away. Life is like that sometimes...

As for me, work a bit layback theoretically, this week, because of PMR and it supposed to be PMR holiday...But I go to school everyday anyway to 'see' my PMR students off to the Dewan...and waiting for them coming out to ask them how was the paper.( so? senang ke susah? boleh buat tak?)
And I have to mark SPM Trial papers....

Meanwhile at the back of my head I have to think about what will happen next year. The planning for 2011 and what not.

Retreat for Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Sekolah (which is me and other Ketua Jabatan and of course including Pengetua). The dream that it will be held in a posh hotel was crushed because of the budget and instead we have to do it at school next Monday (Takde ke sapa2 nak sponsor kami yang nak perah otak 2 hari 2 malam ni ya- kesian...)

Ah well....

On a lighter note, I am thinking of family vacation somewhere soon. Since my children will be done with their exam. Hmm, mana nak pergi ya dengan duit ciput ni...?

Allah Loves Her

2010-07-25T23:24:00.005+08:00

I am a silent reader of her blog http://onebreastbouncing.blogspot.com/

Her sufferings in fighting breast cancer and yet her strength of facing it all really touch my heart that I always pray to Allah to ease her pain. All that she's gone through enable me to imagine the pain that my late mother had when facing the same fate.

Recently I visit her blog and realised she hasnt update anything. I know she's struggling as I read her last entry that she was in pain...
And today I checked again and realise she still hasnt update anything. I jumped to other blogs searching for info about her. Sure enough...I found out from Wahaza's blog that she had been called to be the Creator early morning of 19th July 2010. My heart is crying of this loss. Innalillahi wainnailaihirajiuun...May Allah bless her soul and Jannah is for her.

For you my readers, my students, my friends, say your prayers for her...

Thank you Wahaza for the info..

It's Life

2010-07-20T22:52:00.002+08:00

Aduh...I feel that I always try to do my best to please everyone. I plan well and try to execute my task the best way I can. But there will be a few that are selfish (obviously..I know and expect that) and only think about themselves. These kind of people don't care much about how others feel. They only think about how they feel.

Allah is testing me. With my patience.

Ramadhan approaching

2010-07-18T11:28:00.002+08:00

I can't wait for Ramadhan to come knocking. Just a few more weeks to go. Such a great month that our life will be more structured and systematic. And of course will be filled with so much things that are more spiritual. A month that make you forget the material world for while. A month to train yourself. I'll remind the children about it. Make it happening and prepare for it. So much thing to do:

1. Wash the curtains and cushions

2. Rearrange the frames and pictures on the wall.

3. Decluttered the living room, bedrooms and kitchen

4. Organised the closet. (giveaway clothes)

5. Get presents for the children

And I will cook everyday during Ramadhan, insyaallah.

My thought this Sunday Morning...

2010-07-18T11:06:00.004+08:00

Petrol price hike again....this time 5 cents. Sounds like not too much, but my car obviously need more than a litre to fill each time. I figured it will be up a few more times in the near future.

Sometimes I think most part of KL and Selangor should promote bicycle as the main means to move. It will save our pocket and the environment too. The PROBLEM is the infrastructure being built is NOT promoting that at all. Not like Japan or China and many others where people cycle all the time. Our roads are not for bicycles. Even to cycle to school for my children is hard. They have to compete with cars or buses who are very selfish most of the time. And make us parents worried to let the kids use their bicycle to school.

Notice that when you want to buy sugar now there are plenty of it? Before, they limit how much sugar you can buy. Now that the price is up 25 cents, the sugar is pouring. No more limit on how much to buy. I feel sick thinking about this. Lucky we dont use much in this house. Sometimes a kilo will last for months. We drink mineral water and once a while less sweet teh-o that my chidren like. I really hope instead of increasing the food and drinks' price, they lessen the sweetness in drinks. That will also good for our health.

Beautiful Day

2010-05-30T11:44:00.003+08:00

It's so nice to wake up in the morning for the third time thinking 'hmm... no school today'. And then got to cook breakfast with all the time I got...

Thank you Allah for giving me this day..

Sick of this word: A B A N D O N E D

2010-05-24T23:04:00.002+08:00

I know, I know...I've been abandoning my blog like forever....Sometimes I feel like I have too much things going on around me and there's too much to write about, and I will end up with nothing to write about. Weird, isn't it?

But abandoning a blog is not that bad...Worse thing happened nowadays in this part of the world...
- newborns were abandoned and left by the mothers, most of the time dead.
- children being abandoned and left by themselves eventhough they 're just 2 or 3 years old, at home, while their parents went to search for jobs. Recently, one died after falling from high rise apartment searching for the mother..(where were their families and friends?)
- pets were abandoned by their owners when they no longer can entertain or serve the owners well.
- books are abandoned by my students around the school every time they are done for the year, especially after exams.

These are just a few examples. You don't want to know what else being abandoned around here..

Guess I'm not abandoning my blog anymore...

Term Break

2010-03-16T12:01:00.002+08:00

I am having term break now. And that means I'm supposed to have a break from teaching and all the stuff related to school. Well, at least for a week. Although I do get calls from parents from time to time asking things about their children.
I A.M. T.I.R.E.D....
My mind refused to think too much. It's set in a holiday mood. The minute the position of my head becomes horizontal, I feel sleepy. (Scary, coz I rarely sleep during day time). I wanted to clean the bookshelves, I postponed it. I wanted to sew my day curtain, I also postponed that. I wanted to make cupcakes, I postponed that too.

I better move and hang my clothes to dry outside now.....or it will rot in the basket because I've been postponing that too since morning....urgh...

Ammar

2010-03-15T00:35:00.002+08:00

This handsome lad is my number 4. He is now in Year 4 and will turn 10 in late September this year. Today I feel like writing something about him. Just because he's number 4, and kinda being squeezed in the middle of his other siblings, we tend to forget about him sometimes....

Ammar, when he was a baby, was an easy baby. I used to carry him around everywhere I go until he's 3. That's when I started to work full time. I felt sad when I have to send him to play school at an early age, at the time with his elder brother Nu'man. Then he became very dependent on Nu'man. Up until now.... But this year I see a new development between the two. They are still close, but at the same time trying very hard to be apart and independent. Sometimes conflict occurs. The big brother have sets of rules because he is being protective, as usual. But Ammar on the other hand wanted freedom as he is a big boy now. But from afar, I noticed he looked up to Nu'man a lot, still...and try to copy what Nu'man do, as a big and wise brother.

When he was little, around 2 years old, he learnt numbers and counting first, even before he can speak well. We were amazed when he knows which number is bigger and which is smaller just by looking at the tv channels. When he knows how to speak better, he always asked questions like ...' If we add 10,000 with 10,000, what would it be?' Or, he would say, ' I know 13,000 minus 7,000 would be 6,000' Those are the numbers he fiddle around when he was 4! Well, he still good at maths now although I think he is thinking at a year 4 level (thank God!)

Now Muhammad his little brother adores him so much. They do a lot of things together....And Ammar becomes a responsible brother by taking care of Muhammad's needs...

But he's still my baby....my easy baby...

SPM

2010-03-11T19:28:00.002+08:00

Anak nak dapat result, kita berdebar...
Anak murid nak dapat result, kita berdebar jugak...
Hati selalu membayangkan yang bukan2...tapi sebenarnya yakin pada kebolehan anak2/ dan anak2 murid....
Hari ini anak2 murid saya SPM 2009 dapat tahu keputusan mereka. Ada yang suka ada yang duka. Ada yang memberi kebanggaan kepada ibu bapa dan guru2, ada juga yang kurang bernasib baik....

Sebagai guru yang mengajar mereka, ada yang sejak dari mereka di Tingkatan 1 pun, boleh merasakan dan mengagak siapa yang bakal berjaya dalam keputusan kali ini dan siapa yang tidak. Kadang2 kata2 'usaha tangga kejayaan ' itu sebenarnya memang bukan rekaan kata2 sedap mulut sahaja.
Jadikanlah pengalaman ini satu pengajaran. Bagi yang telah berjaya dengan cemerlang, anggaplah ini satu kurniaan Allah yang bakal membuka ruang kepada kita untuk menjadi seorang insan yang berguna kepada agama dan masyarakat satu hari kelak.

Bagi yang tidak mendapat apa yang diharapkan, ini bukanlah noktah terakhir. Muhasabah diri semula dan lihat kenapa Allah menguji kita sebegini rupa...Mungkin kita kurang berjaya kerana kita sendiri yang kurang usaha. Di masa hadapan, lebihkan usaha kita dalam apa sahaja yang kita lakukan, insyaAllah kita akan dibantu oleh Allah sekiranya kita memohon kepadaNya.

SPM bukanlah segala2nya. Tetapi ia adalah satu tiket untuk kita dapatkan pengalaman yang baru dalam menimba ilmu. Sekiranya kita tidak mendapat tiket kali ini, kita boleh cuba cara yang lain pula. Jangan putus asa....

He is growing up!

2010-01-23T15:33:00.004+08:00

Overnight, it seems like my youngest is transformed, from a toddler that screams on instructions and requests, to a little boy who obeys a lot of things that are being said to him...

He used to fight hard when I brought him to the barber to cut his hair. Tried many times, even the barber lured him with candies, he still didnt care...took the candies, but refused to cut his hair. At one time, his dad sat on the barber's chair and hold him, still he cries really hard making it very difficult. Although I know the barber can do it in a few seconds.

So we came home, a bit upset and when he took a nap, I cut his hair, my style.....

This is what happened: Just managed to cut the front part.

Then came one beautiful day, when all the elder brothers need haircuts, he tagged along. I asked him really nicely if its ok to cut his hair. He said, 'Nope'. Then I

asked again if incase after looking at his brothers he got soft hearted and decided otherwise.

Again, he said, NO. But then, when he saw his brothers are done, he got up and walk to the barber, asking to be put on the chair and smile, while saying YES...

We couldnt believe our eyes and ears!

Look at how handsome he is now:

She's at college now!

2010-01-09T19:10:00.003+08:00

Alhamdulillah, Allah make it easy for us today when sending off Nabilah. Everything went on smoothly, starting from the registration up until her residing in the college apartment.

We were told after the orientation week the new students will be transferred to out campus residential. A bit worried, but still, we leave it to Allah swt to take care of her. She is in our doa and always will be. We pray to Him that she wont forget her responsibility to Allah, Ar Rasul, to us her parents and also to herself...

The campus is huge, the buildings/faculties are all nice and in cute colours. Why cute? Blue, yellowish and cream are cute colour arent they?

The library is huge too, and this is where she'll be lectured and trained most of the time she's in that university, I was told. That's good. I hope she'll study hard and also had the time of her life while she's there.

We miss her already....although we are about an hour away....

Be seeing you soon kakak!

2010...

2010-01-06T21:49:00.002+08:00

A busier year than last year. 2010 that is...
Why?

1. Tariq is facing PMR exam later this year
2. Nu'man, UPSR, also later this year. Started night class already,from tonight and on. Means have to send and fetch him every night.
3. Muhammad starting his Kindergarten-4. Means have to send him in the morn and must fetch him at noon every day.Today is the third day.
Day 1- screaming his lungs out for an hour when we left him at Im@n Readers.
Day 2- Feeling better, no crying
Day 3- too much excitement (the teacher said). Later in the day, during nap time at home,
was crying in his sleep maybe because of tiredness.
Hopefully Day 4 and on he'll be fine, insyaallah.
4. Nabilah is starting college(2 and a half years of Library Science), after a year of part time study in Translation. Means I'll lost a loyal babysitter, and a part time cook....

I hope I'll be ok. WE will be ok, insyaallah.

Tajuk yang menarik untuk dibuat satu post yang panjang lebar. Tapi malangnya cuti kali ni saya tak cuti. Dari semua hari2 cuti yang ada, lebih kurang hampir 2 bulan, boleh dikira dengan jari ni berapa hari dapat relaks di rumah tak payah pergi sekolah....

Sampaikan mula2 cuti tu anak2 bertanya,

"Mak nak pergi mana?" Bila tengok saya bersiap pagi2 lepas masak heavy breakfast(so that last long, at least till 3 pm)

Sehari, dua dia orang memang tanya. Bila dah tiap hari tengok maknya keluar pergi kerja, dia orang pun dah tak tanya lagi....Mak dia orang je yang kerja cikgu, bila cuti sekolah tak cuti...

Then bila saya relaks di rumah(dapat la juga sehari, dua dalam seminggu), dia orang tanya:

"Mak tak pergi sekolah ke hari ni?"

Tengok, tengok,...anak2 dah memahami situasi emak mereka yang tak henti2 kerja.

Tak pe, tak pe...cuti Mac nanti saya berazam nak cuti betul2. Tak pergi sekolah langsung seminggu....tengok la nanti.

So saya bercuti di imaginasi kepala saya saje je la macam dalam gambar2 kat atas tu:
