What am I thinking......?????

Satu hari tu dah sampai kat Ayer Keroh... dah habis urusan kat situ dah petang... nak balik KL terus rasa tak berbaloi lak sebab dah sampai Melaka, nak gi sampai Bandar Hilir macam malas je macam panas je macam ramai org je.... so decide nak round2 area Ayer Keroh je... husband tanak gi Zoo melaka sbb dah panas, binatang semua dah bersembunyi... so dia ajak gi Taman Buaya and I was like "huh? buaya? no no no" so beramai2 lah pegi ke Melaka Bird Park... tempatnya agak tersembunyi ... jalan ke park tu pun macam "eh betul  ke jalan ni" so dah sampai tu bila tengok2 "oh tak ramai orang" "oh kecik je tamannya" pastu sempat lah borak2 dgn security guard dia... pastu dia share tips...kalau pakai kad bank rakyat boleh dapat further discount... since kami takde kad bank rakyat... bayar je lah harga normal RM20 adult RM15 child 5 years old and below dan RM10 for birds food so MissE pun beria2 lah nak pegang birds food tu... disebabkan datang dah ...

haishhh mencabar betul tahun ni... Erina pun ada periksa besar... alhamdulillah dah settle semua tahun ni SRA diorang first time buat UPKK... our main concern for Erina ialah dia ni jenis boleh tidur kat mana2 kalau dah ngantuk so bila exam UPKK ni waktu petang memang expect dia akan tertidur lah... so dah siap2 pesan kat dia... habiskan dulu jawab soalan kalau ngantuk sangat, takut kang tak habis jawab dah tertidur sampai ke sudah, habis lah kertas tu anyway, dia takde drama sangat cuma drama peringkat national ada lah... hahaha tapi rasa lawak lak... kertas soalan UPKK pun diorang nak curi... ni mesti tak pernah tengok kertas ujian anak2... kertas upkk ni lagi senang dari psra... ni erina yang kata harap2 keputusan erina seperti yang dia rasa lah... nak kata dia belajar work hard sangat pun takde juga tapi adalah sibuk nak study group kat library haishhh remaja sangat drama upkk hahaha

When all the 3 kids have started the schooling, it will be a chaotic morning every school day... Need to wake up Mr. A.... quite easy unless he slept late the night before Ms. E .... this is real challenge unless she feels she already get enough sleep Ms. Z .... the easiest to wake up But.......................... these few days, Ms. Z throws tantrum when waking up, even during bathing..... knowing her who loves to bathe, it really showing she is not in the mood.... so praying hard that Allah is granting us more patience to handle her during the tantrum, we coaxed Ms. Z by offering her to wear her fancy gown to school... her kindergarten is kinda free uniform, you can wear the uniform if you want and it is still okay if you want to wear non-uniform... so here she is in her fancy blink blink gown and here she in her school uniform "saya dah mandi lah" and this is from 5 years ago when both Mr. A and Ms. E went to kindergarten together :) ...

Ohhhh noooo.... Miss E is in the transitional phase of becoming a TWEEN (pre-teenager/ pre-adolescence). Ohhh noooo...... I am so not ready for this..... Ya Allah, please grant me and hubby much patience and wisdom to handle Miss E properly. Ya Allah the Mighty, may you keep her safe all the time from all the harms in this world and hereafter.... M ay she go through this phase smoothly and become a wiser, better person in future...  Yeah, I am worry more about my daughters than my son...  :D Thus, I am compiling tips on how to handle tween here for my easier reference:      credit to AhaParenting 1) Be willing to change. 2) Focus on the relationship, not on discipline. 3) It’s appropriate for your tween to want more independence. 4) Schedule quality time. 5) Cultivate empathy for your daughter. 6) Be aware that tween girls usually harbor great anxiety about adolescence. 7) Be sure your daughter is getting nine hours of sleep each ni...

Yesterday was Awal Muharram or Maal Hijrah... basically it is New Year in Islamic calendar So how do we spent it? We put up a schedule for Mr A and Miss E to do their revision. They will be having year-end exam next week. Then during the break, as usual Miss E and Miss Z were busy playing "mak2"(role-playing). Miss E becomes 'mama' and Miss Z playing as her daughter. Suddenly one of their conversation caught up my attention Miss Z: (scenario: she just arrived home)Mama.... tadi kan ada budak lelaki hensem Miss E is speechless and trying very hard to contain her laugh So I called Miss Z Me: Adik.... apa adik cakap tadi? Miss Z: Tadi ada budak lelaki hensem Me: okey..... so lepas tu? Miss Z: Dia pun love By now I already LOL with Miss E Oh man.... how come my 4 years-old girl already know the connection between budak lelaki hensem and love *palmface*

My Miss E is not a big fan of veggies. As much as possible, she will try ways to not eat the veggies. So what I did was....  incorporate all the possible veggies in jemput2/cekodok/fritters :D She will eat all of it without any complaints Here I put carrots, tomatoes, french beans, celery. Not in the picture is the 'daun sup' hahaha meriah sungguh cekodok ini :)

The smallest princess also known as the queen of PLAY-DOH in the house, since she is not going to share her PLAY-DOH thingy with others and her capability to mix the dough in the most quickest time, my Miss Z has been slept early last night. So it became the precious time for the big bro, Mr A, and the big sis, Miss E, to officiate the Party pack of PLAY-DOH that I have received a few days back. Work(Masterpiece)-In-Progress The pack come as part of the first-ever PLAY-DOH month in Malaysia. The challenge given was to " Shape a Colourful Community " by creating PLAY-DOH sculpture to reflect the meaning of Malaysia and/or its colorful community to us. I let both of them to plan, to divide the task and do it together. In a way, I am forcing them to cooperate, do proper planning and visualize their end result while planning. Hahaha tetiba rasa anak2 dah besar sangat when they can do all that smoothly without any arguments or extra 'drama'. The masterpiece ...

My eldest princess was 9 yesterday :) A happy girl who bring 90 party packs to school. Jenuh ibu nya ni pack tgh2 malam sorang2... hahaha as long as she is happy :) 2 out of 90 party packs Not a small kid anymore, becoming more tween ( considered too old to be a child and too young to be a teenager) nowadays.Yesterday her topic of discussion is eye-bag :P and I just keep thinking "A 9-year old is discussing eye-bag... be still my heart, do not laugh do not laugh do not laugh.... hahaha". She was complaining that her class got a lot of homework so they could not sleep early, hence the eye-bag. And the girls in her class are comparing their eye-bag. Oh my... my one-liner solution "This was to teach all of you how to manage your time". Hahaha very skema.... So Miss E, Happy Birthday to you... May you become a much more lovelier girl in future. Just remember, the beauty of the person is in his/her attitude not only physical. Take care your connection with...

p/s: this post was written 3 days before raya... :D Ramadan dah nak habis baru terhegeh2 nak simpan memori2 ramadan.... Tahun ni both my Mister A and Miss E berpuasa penuh with much much less drama...alhamdulillah no more drama at 6pm "haus..haus..nak buka...nak buka..." hehehe Mister A pun dah tak demand roti john setiap hari as menu wajib berbuka puasa... The first week puasa tu dapatlah buat 2 kali homemade roti john... boleh lah... tapi guna banyak telur lah kan... Tahun ni weekdays mmg tak masak utk berbuka... masak hanya utk sahur... mmg param di hati utk berbuka lah... but hubby mmg beli cukup2 je... biasa nya nasi kerabu/ambeng/mee sebungkus then kuih muih tops 2 jenis so memang ngam2 je... kuranglah pembaziran... Tahun ni... rasa macam tak cukup weekends... ahhaha weekdays pun  macam tak cukup masa... 1st weekend kat my mom because its my birthday .. :) weehooo ... dpt hadiah bertema "al kautsar" ko mampu hadiah pun ada tema... hahaha...actually sec...

This Ramadhan, we (my hubby and myself) try to bring the kids for tarawikh every night. Regardless it is at our own house or at our parents' house. One of the weekends, we spent it at my PIL's house. So we went to its surau for tarawikh with my MIL and SIL (the girls group). As usual, I will choose the last row for convenience, so Miss Z would not disturb other people and she still can come to us if she want. She is going to be 4-years-old, so solat for her is 1 rakaat only :P So our arrangement was my MIL, Miss E, me and my SIL. The solat Isyak have started and a few people were late continue the line at my MIL's side. Then right after Isyak, the 'makcik' beside my SIL told us "eh adik ni solat kat belakang lah , putus saf dah ni"  pointing to Miss E. All of us tergamam sekejap. Even my MIL was speechless. I menahan diri dari nak jawab balik kat makcik tu sbb mengenangkan she might be one my MIL friends. I was thinking to just going asking that makc...

We were walking through a lot of small kiosks selling something and everything; books, accessories, jewelleries, toys etc. Then suddenly Miss E asked me Miss E: Ibu, apa benda si betul dan si terbalik tu? (What is the right one and the reverse one) Me: (speechless for  a while and trying very hard to imagine what she just saw that trigger that question)... Do you want to know what it is??? . . . . . si betul dan si terbalik ..... CHANEL Yeah... what my Miss E meant was ' C betul dan C terbalik' (the correct C and reverse C) palm face....

A few weekends back (yeah... this is backdated story), we get some vaccination for the whole family. And we get additional vaccination (influenza) for the kids. Miss Z was very good as she still small so she gets the injection at her butt instead of her arm. But not a single sound from her. Very good. Miss E also was behaving , she was stressed out and I need to hold her tight, but when the doctor asked her to relax, she was able to relax herself so both injections done without any sound from her. Good enough for me. But boy oh boy.... my little man, Mr A, created  a havoc. He was stressed out and he claimed he feel pain for the first injection. So he was complaining, complaining, complaining and on the verge to cry.... I tried to console him by hold him tight, then suddenly .... Mr A: Aiman rasa nak gi toilet ( I feel like I want to go to toilet ) Me: Okey (while loosening my hold on him) Mr A: Tapi kalau Aiman terus lari macam mana? ( But then what if I run away? ) I...

Sometimes we do need to do some silly activities for our bonding with the kids. So when we receive the invitation to learn the  Dugrostar™ Step Dance, I have asked my Miss E and Miss Z to dance together, but they were too shy to be captured in video (but they never shy for photography... aishhhh) so just enjoy the video below of my 'shy shy cat' Miss E.  The step by step video of  Dugrostar™ Step Dance  compared to my Miss E's 'shy shy cat' dance If that was not entertaining enough (of course it is not hehehe), it is better for you to watch the more exciting performing arts of  280 young finalists of  Dugrostar™ getting shortlisted for the next phase.

I love watching Seriously Funny Kids which was hosted by Heidi Klum, yeah... she is an eye candy but the stars of the show were the kids. I believe conducting a witty conversation with adult should be considered as one of children's greatest talent. Children can be groomed or nurtured to have any talent that they want as early as it can be. As for now, my Mister A is becoming an avid reader with a bucketful of imagination. He can read and re-read the same book more than 3 times. He is already encroaching my childhood collection books. Hopefully this will become his hobby up until his adulthood. Meanwhile, my Miss E is very passionate in cooking and baking. She kept pestering me in the kitchen whenever I am going to cook something special. Now I am wondering... why she did not want to help me for the not-so-special dishes??? hmmmmm As for my 3-year-old Miss Z, she is now my husband's muse for photography. Just ask her to shoot her photo, she will be automatically ready for...
