Open day @ Dataran Nilai

Salam,

Yesterday evening, we had a nice day at Dataran Nilai. There was an Open Day organized by the local authority. Actually my MIL was the one who brought us there since she was on duty at one of the booths there. She had to be at KPJ booth. They took the chance to promote the nursing programmes in KPJ Nursing College in Nilai.

The location

Basically the Open Day looked like the night market scene. There were some booths selling many sorts of things from women's blouses, headscarves, toys, accessories, snacks, make up appliances, handbags and even pets. But it was not so crowded and we could stroll at ease around the area. My MIL had to stay at KPJ booth, so she asked me to bring my kids around the area. While checking out the booths, I bought some snacks and toys for them. And for myself, I bought some brooches and a long-sleeve inner. I also bought some cute baby clothes.

KPJ's booth

After stopping at several booths, we decided to have a rest and enjoy some food there. We tried some food like fried mushrooms with few different flavours, steamboat, waffles and coconut drink. I thought of buying some more food but then we were already quite full.

 

We resumed to stroll to the other booths as my MIL's maid (yup, she also tagged along) wanted to buy some stuffs for her children. She was the one who bought more stuffs since the price of the stuffs there was quite cheap. She bought some headscarves, brooches, lipsticks and a compact powder. By 7.30 , my MIL called us to join her at the prayer's room since it was already time for Maghrib's prayer. We only visited few more booths before we went home. I bought a box of blocks and two packs pf candy floss for my chirpy kids just before we headed home.

*We spotted the pink cat at one of the booths and there were also some nicely decorated and painted MYVI cars at the place.

OOOOO IKLAN INI BUKAN DARI SAYA YE. JANGAN PULAK SESIAPA TANYA SAYA ATAU HANTAR E-MAIL KEPADA SAYA BERTANYAKAN HAL INI.

 

ANDA SEMUA PERCAYA KE? ADAKAH SENANG GILER NAK CARI DUIT? ADAKAH INI SATU LAGI SKIM CEPAT KAYA? 

 

Mintak maaflah saya jenis orang yang agak cerewet bila memikirkan dari mana sumber pendapatan. Yelah tak kan kita nak bagi anak kita makan duit haram. Lagikan yang memang sah sumber halal pun boleh jadi haram jika kita tak amanah dalam kerja kita. Selagi saya boleh bekerja walaupun penat dan tertekan kerana kerja, saya susah sikit nak percaya yang kita boleh dapat duit dengan cara yang mudah. 

 

ADA TAK YANG ADA PENGALAMAN DALAM HAL NI?

Not easy to be an adult?

Salam,

Who has to grow up? Well....Aren't all of us at some points in our life need to grow up? We can't always behave like kids and act like them. I myself not sure when did I start to grow up and become matured. But I guess as the eldest in my family, I was forced to grow up quicker than I want to since I had to be independent since my younger brother was born. My late grandma used to tell me that I knew how to entertain myself when my brother was born and at the same time my grandma also had my youngest uncle.


My younger siblings had their wake up call when my late mom passed away almost 4 years ago. My youngest sister was 14 and she was so devastated with the lost. Since then, we (the other siblings and I) have tried to help her by being there whenever she needs us. Now, she almost 18 and she has realized that it's not easy to be an adult!

I feel proud of her because she has come all the way from a very shy 14-year-old girl to a more confident young woman now. (Should I say that she's a woman now?) Circumstances and our fate have always been the factors for us to grow up and become more matured. Some people are late bloomers and they are not matured even when they are already adult. Only when they are forced to become more matured then they have no choice but to change themselves.

When did you realize that you've grown up and become more matured? What have forced you to change?

Program NILAM.

Salam,

Pernah dengar tentang Program NILAM (Nadi Ilmu Amalan Membaca)? Saya pun baru tahu tentang program ni bila Fathini sibuk merekodkan buku-buku yang dia dah baca. Cuti sekolah ni, Fathini perlu membaca sekurang-kurangnya 10 buah buku bacaan. Matlamat program ni bagus kerana nak menyuburkan tabiat membaca dikalangan murid-murid sekolah. Bila murid dah rekodkan, guru kena mengesahkan aktiviti bacaan tu. Ada pengiktirafaan Tahap Jauhari Sekolah Rendah untuk murid-murid yang dapat mencapai rekod membaca seperti berikut:

90 - 179 buah buku  -      Gangsa
180 - 269 buah buku -     Perak
270 - 359 buah buku -     Emas
360 ke atas               -     NILAM

Saya tak pasti bila pengiktirafan akan dibuat. Rasanya mungkin sebelum murid-murid tamat tahun enam. Cuma Fathini ni hanya banyak membaca dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Dia boleh membaca dalam Bahasa Malaysia tapi dia kurang faham. Memang kebanyakan buku yang kami beli pun dlm BI. Jadi, sekarang kenalah beli buku-buku dalam BM pula untuk Fathini. Dalam 10 buah buku yang dia dah rekodkan, hanya sebuah sahaja buku BM.

Harap-harap program ni memang boleh menanam minat membaca. Jangan mereka nak kejar hadiah NILAM tu, baca buku bukan kerana nak ilmu. Lagipun apa guna kalau banyak buku yang dibaca tapi otak masih kosong kan? Fathini ni rasanya dah banyak baca buku sebab kami dah ajar sukakan buku sejak dari kecil. Kami tak suka paksa jadi memang kami cuba buat membaca tu sesuatu yang menyeronokkan bukan kerana nak ambil periksa atau nak hadiah. Rata-rata kebanyakan orang Malaysia membaca bahan bacaan ringan dan hiburan. Gossip artis lebih menarik dari jurnal-jurnal yang memberatkan kepala kan? Itu yang tak betul tu.
Patutnya lebih banyak kita membaca, lebih banyak yang kita tahu. Nak baca benda-benda hiburan tak salah tapi seimbangkan juga dengan bahan bacaan lain.

Rasanya program NILAM ni bagus tak? Anak-anak akan lebih rajin membaca atau mereka baca hanya nak kejar hadiah?
 

25 years ago: It was safer but NOW.......

Salam,

25 years ago, I can roam free with my siblings near the neighbourhood area. We went on cycling, playing our own games, climbing some trees or just doing whatever we liked. There were not so many risks for us except for hurting ourselves when we fell from a tree (e.g.) or maybe getting ourselves dirty. We could play all day long and only came back home during dusk. Our parents wouldn't worry so much and they didn't even had to supervise us.

NOW......I won't ever let my kids out of my sight especially in public places. They are not allowed to play outside without any supervision. They don't have the freedom that I used to have. WHY? It's so terrifying to know that the kids nowadays have limited freedom. It's just not SAFE for them to play outside anymore. They are the targets for the culprits who have bad intentions. I know childhood should be the best time for the kids to explore but we better not let them explore without our supervision anymore. This is for their own good and for our own sanity.

SO.....
The innocent young victims like Shearwey Ooi Ying Ying, Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, Nurul Huda Abdul Ghani, Haserawati Saridi and now, Nurul Nadirah Abdullah should be a good reminder to other parents to be more vigilant about our kids' safety.

I know that we can only do so much because the rest is up to Allah's help. BUT at least we have to do something first.

Water cut: We already have had an early preparation!

Salam,

Last week the was a news about the water cut around KL and many places in Selangor. We thought that it will start from tomorrow. So, today we have started to clean all the buckets and other containers that can be used to keep water. Then we filled them up with water.

But later, my hubby wanted to recheck when exactly is the water cut. When we checked again from the news, it will only start from the day after tomorrow. Well, to be exact from 14th to 15th March. The areas include KL and most places in Selangor too. We even took out the kids' plastic swimming pool and fill it up with water. We warned our kids that they can't go in the pool to play.

I guess it's okay to have an early preparation since there are so many people living in this house now. Plus having kids also mean we better have extra water. For others who are also living in KL and Selangor, you have to start saving and keeping some water for 2 days of water cut. I heard a rumor saying that it might even be for 3 days!

Not so excited?

Salam,

I'm curious to know how do you (other parents) feel when you are expecting your next child? For example, you already have 2 children and you're expecting another one. Would you still feel excited?

As I've shared before, I'm expecting another child by June. I want to feel the same excitement that I had before with my previous pregnancies but I don't know what have happened to me. I feel guilty to this child when I have this feeling. There are too many unresolved problems right now that have hindered the excitement.

We haven't prepared so many things yet because we still have some equipments that we can still use like the stroller and the car seat. We might only need to buy some clothes and some other things before the baby is born. Yesterday, my hubby suggested that maybe we shouldn't scan this baby. He wants it to be a surprise this time. I'm kind of opposed to the idea because I think it's easier to prepare if we already know the gender.

Hmmm. Could anyone please tell me how to change my feeling now? Thanks.
