About to explode!!!!

What do you do when you feel like exploding? Where do you go to release your tension? How do you wind off? With whom do you confide?

Who says that when you are the boss, it's easy. You won't have the stress. You decide most of the things. You have the freedom.

There's always stress no matter what you do. You can't even escape from it. Even you only stay at home, taking care of your own children.

YES! I know, it's how you manage your own feeling. How you choose to channel your anger and frustration. It's also show why you need good friends. I haven't had the chance to spend some quality time with my friends nowadays.

I really need girls day out.

Dosa percuma di mukabuku (BM entry)

Assalamualaikum.

Mula-mula sekali nak mintak maaf kalau ada yang terasa dengan entri ni. Tapi memang niat nak bg terasa dan juga nak mengingatkan diri sendiri. Kita ni banyak sangat menghadap benda2 yang melalaikan skrg. Antara benda yg melalaikan yg wajib setiap hari kita tengok ialah MukaBuku (Facebook). Kan?

Bukan nak mengata orang lain, saya sendiri pun "lagha" dgn mukabuku ni. Seronok dok tengok macam-macam dan baca macam-macam. Ramai yg guna utk kebaikan dan tulis peringatan tapi ramai juga dok tumpang sekaki mengutuk-ngutuk, mencerca dan memaki orang-orang lain. Tak sedar yang apa yang kita buat tu sebenarnya fitnah.

Sebenarnya banyak lg benda-benda yang secara tak sedar, kita kutip dosa percuma di mukabuku. Sempena bulan Ramadhan yg makin hampir ni, jom kita muhasabah setiap perbuatan kita. Jom kita nilai dulu apa yang kita nak tulis, cakap atau buat pada orang lain. Saya bukan ustazah jauh lglah orang yg alim. Tapi bukankah setiap dari kita perlu menyampaikan perkara yang baik dengan cara kita sendiri walaupun kita sendiri jauh lg dari sempurna?

Cerita Mak yang terlalu berkira.

Cerita ni cerita benar ye. Baru je terjadi semalam di sebuah pasaraya.

Al-kisah seorang mak yang baru balik dari kerja, terus mengangkut anak-anaknya seramai 3 orang untuk membeli beberapa barang keperluan. Anak-anak macam biasa ada jelah barang-barang yang diaorg perlu. Mak ni melayan yang mana patut jelah kan.

Bila sampai kat tempat aiskrim, anak-anak nak aiskrim. Ok, maknya melayan lagi. Tapi tiba-tiba salah seorang anak nak pulak aiskrim goreng. Harga sekotak aiskrim goreng tu dalam RM10 lebih. Sekotak ada 6 ketul je. Mesti beli sekotak tak cukup kan. Jadi, mak yang berkira ni pun bagitahu anak-anak, "Lebih baik kita buat sendiri aiskrim goreng ni". "Mama tahu macammana nak buat sebab ada resipi kat internet untuk buat aiskrim goreng sendiri".

Dengan tak disangka-sangka ada seorang pekerja di pasaraya tu sibuk pasang telinga. Dia cakap pada mak yang berkira ni,"Alah puan bukannya aiskrim tu harga ratus-ratus pun." "Kesian kat budak-budak". Mak yang berkira ni apa lagi, naiklah darah bila ada orang yang sibuk masuk campur hal dia dengan anak-anak.
Mak ni pun terus cakap,"Awak nak tolong bayar ke? Kalau tak jangan sibuk. Bukan saya tak beli apa2 untuk diaorg. Ni dah banyak barang dah dlm troli ni. Kalau tak nak tolong bayar, tolong jangan sibuk masuk campur ye."

Terdiam terus pekerja tu. Berani nak masuk campur hal orang. Memang mak berkira ni berkira sebab kalau tak berkira, alamatnya hujung bulan, anak-anak makan maggi jelah kan. Ayah diaorg dah byk bayar benda2 lain.

Pernah tak sesiapa yang sakit hati bila ada orang lain yang sibuk2 bagi pendapat percuma bila kita tak perlu pun?

Boys need to be BOYS

I know I shouldn't really share about this here BUT....sometimes I just have to let this out of my mind. It's about some parents who are so concern about their kids to the extend that they want us to make sure nobody can really touch their kids. What I mean here is, they listen so much to their kids' complaining about their friends that hit or kick them in kindy. BUT they never know the real situation. Dealing with 80% boys in our kindy is so challenging when they get so excited physically. Most of the time, they are only playing or pretending to be super heroes and started to kick, punch or hit each other. I can't always stop them or observing how they play every seconds. The problem with some parents nowadays, they always think their kids are ANGEL. They don't know that in school they totally turn everything upside down. They won't really listen to teachers and always testing our patience. We are doing our best to guide them to become behave but it's not easy when parents won't trust us to do the job and they themselves never try to guide their own kids too.

For now, our solution is just to try our best and if the parents are not happy, they are most welcome to send their kids to other school and see if other school can really change their "challenging kids".

Colder weather


Have you noticed that it's been a bit colder nowadays? When we wake up in the morning, we can't help but to turn on the water heater before we can take a bath. We also turn the fan at a slower speed at night. Our kids are having the on and off flu and fever. 

Today, I've read that one part of highland in Indonesia received some snow! Most of us would like to  experience a colder weather right? Trust me, it's not FUN at all. If it's like in Winter, it's too cold that you need to wear at least 2,3 layers of clothing, turn on the heaters at home, go to the laundromat to use the dryer for your clothes and prepare a lot of food to feed the hungry stomach. Maybe the idea of playing in the snow by making snowman, having snow-fight or making the snow angels look exciting. If you are just playing for 1-2 hours, you'll feel the fun. Just imagine having to put up with the weather for 3 months. It's fun anymore especially if it get so extreme like the blizzard.

Actually it's nice to have the colder weather now. I just pray that it won't get to the extreme as we are not so prepared to face it. I won't be happy to see any snow falling from the sky in Malaysia anytime soon as it means that it's too cold for us to handle.

Nervous about the wedding.

It's been a long time since I posted the last entry. My laptop had to be repaired by my hubby as the screen became blank after it's been turned on for few minutes. This month, I'm busy with the preparation of our kindy Graduation & Concert 2013. So much work to do and things to be done. At the meantime, my brother Rashdan is also busy. This brother of mine is not like other so called 'normal' brother. (OKU) I've shared about his story before in other entries.

Alhamdulillah, at last he has found his soul mate. He's getting married next month! His soul mate is quite young (19 years old which is about the age like our youngest sister) but she looks matured. They have done most of the preparation and they are just waiting for the DAY. I'm a bit unhappy since I can't do so much to help them as it's so hard for me to go back to Kelantan. Even though I don't have to apply any leave but it's hard to leave our kindy unattended. Yes, I do have the staffs but if there's any problems, they'll call me and at the end I have to step in to solve it.

Hopefully, everything is really been settled by the others who can help us out. I can only call and discuss with other relatives to help us out. I reckon I'm more nervous about my brother's wedding more than mine 10 years ago.

Al-fatihah utk Tok Mat. (BM entry)

Dua hari lepas, kami terima berita tentang kematian Tok Mat iaitu atok kepada suami saya yang tinggal di Kg Kepayang, Ipoh. Kami terima berita waktu tghr dan kami semua masih sibuk di tempat kerja masing-masing. Mak mertua (arwah adalah ayah mak mertua) bergegas pulang dari KPJ, Nilai. Ayah mertua pun turut pulang dari pejabatnya. Adik ipar dan isterinya juga segera pulang ke rumah untuk bertolak ke Ipoh. Hanya suami saya yang tidak dapat pulang segera kerana ada mesyuarat penting yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Yang lain-lain bertolak ke Ipoh selepas pukul 4 petang. Hanya kami yg bertolak selepas pukul 6 petang.

Saudara-mara di Ipoh memang terlalu cepat menguruskan pengebumian arwah. Hanya mak mertua dan ayah mertua saya yang dapat menatap wajah arwah buat kali terakhir. Kami yang lain-lain ni, tidak sempat. Suami saya agak terkilan tapi apa nak buat. Kami hanya dapat sama-sama bertahlil pada malam itu dan selepas berehat seketika sebelum pulang semula ke KJ keesokannya.

Al-fatihah untuk Tok Mat (Muhamad b. Mahmud). Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman.

No WhatsApp?

My own siblings and also my husband's siblings have been pestering us about installing WhatsApp on our mobile phone. But until now, we haven't done it?

So, are we considered outdated for not using the current fad? Most of them said that it's easier to use WhatsApp because it's free and you can send and share a lot of things within your group easily as it's all FREE! Compared to sending text messages that you have to pay for each message, Whatsapp is considered a better option.

Actually my hubby is the one who has forbidden me from installing WhatsApp. He doesn't like it because when we install WhatsApp, it's easy for others to know our current location. Thus, it makes us so vulnerable and put us in danger. May be many hasn't really realize this fact. That's why until I get the 'green light' from my hubby, I guess I won't be able to install the application to my mobile phone.

How many of you haven't install WhatsApp in your mobile phone?

Lu fikirla sikit bila nak menziarah pun. (BM entry)

Ini memang entri merapu sikit sbb geram dgn hamba Allah yang tiba-tiba je datang ke rumah. Memangla bukan rumah kami. Dah memang rumah mak sedara dia. Cuma pandaila sikit pilih masa tu. Ni dtg pkl 7 ptg hari bekerja. Masa tulah kita dok sibuk dengan anak-anak. Mana nak suruh anak mandila, makan malam la. Nasib baik ada bibik yg boleh tolong buatkan air. Tapi bila bibik dah buat air teh, boleh pulak mintak buatkan air nescafe ye. Dia tak suka minum teh. Masa dia dah masuk rumah sekejap, nasib baik mak sedara dia dah balikla. Adala org layan dia berbual. Mungkin dia dah telefon sepupu dia pasal dia nak datang. Cuma tak berkenan dengan waktu yg dipilih untuk menziarah tu. Hari minggu okla, dan kalau bukan waktu maghrib bolehla. Sejak dulu lagi, keluarga kami cukup pantang kalau ada orang telefon atau datang ke rumah waktu maghrib. Yelah, waktu maghrib kan singkat. Masa tu jugak sibuk dgn macam-macam urusan. Terutama kalau ada anak-anak kecik ni. Tadi nak kena layan anak-anak sendiri dah 3 orang lps tu 2 orang anak sedara lagi. Semua pun bising sgt waktu2 maghrib. Dah namanya budak-budak kan. Ish....takpela sesiapa yang baca entri ni kalau tak faham pun takpela ye. Memang saja nak lepaskan geram je ni.

Sibuk beraya sampai suami kelaparan. (BM entry)

Ini kisah benar yang terjadi di hari raya yang lalu. Bukan nak memburuk-burukkan perempuan ini tapi saya sedih bila tengok apa yang dibuatnya. Si suami tu ahli keluarga sendiri. Bukan tahun ini saja, sebelum ni pun pernah terjadi. Tapi apa nak dikata, si suami sendiri yang 'pandai' pilih isteri tu. Memanglah bila raya, banyaklah rumah yang menjemput. Tapi takkanlah di rumah sendiri tak de makanan. Kalau dah namanya raya, sedikit sebanyak kita akan masak dulu untuk rumah sendiri kan. Ini tidak, si isteri sibuk nak keluar bertandang ke rumah saudara-maranya yang menjemput. Si suami disuruh pergi beraya ke rumah saudara-mara suami yang kebetulan juga menjemput ke rumah untuk beraya. Nasib baiklah, ramai pulak saudara-mara yang menjemput.

Mungkin saya ni yang jenis tak kan rasa kenyang bila makan di rumah orang kot. Selalunya saya akan masak sesuatu juga bila dah balik ke rumah walaupun baru pergi kenduri. Bukan nak menunjuk-nunjuk saya ni rajin, tapi mungkin atas didikan arwah ma juga saya tak boleh tengok atas meja mekan tu kosong tak de makanan. Itu yang adik-adik suka bila saya balik kampung. Satu lagi, bila memasak untuk ahli keluarga ni, rasa nikmat dan seronok tu lain bila tengok diaorang makan bertambah-tambah. Ada juga masa masakan tu kurang sedap tapi diaorang akan tetap makan dan tak banyak komen pun. Kadang-kadang ada yang akan menambah perisa lagi dalam masakan sebab saya ni memang bila masak kurang sikit garam dan gula tu. Saya tak kisah pun asalkan diaorang kenyang.

Tugas isteri hakiki memanglah bukannya memasak pun. Yang sebenar adalah melayan suami. Tapi kalau sampai suami kelaparan, memang dah salahlah kan. Kalau keluar beraya pun, buat-buat muka teballah kot, mintak lauk dari adik-beradik ke untuk bawa balik. Bolehla si suami tumpang makan.

Yang lain-lain ada nampak tak cerita yang sama masa beraya hari tu? hehe

A Surprise Raya Hamper!

Yesterday, I received a surprise Raya Hamper from our staffs in kindy. Three teachers collected some money among them and then we went to a supermarket to handpicked each items before they packed the items in a large basket on their own. I felt so overwhelmingly speechless with their kindness. As their superior at work, I always respect them and we maintain good relationship by being frank and honest at work. Mind you, all of them are Chinese but they respect other people's culture and beliefs.

When they celebrated Chines New Year, I remember that I gave them the ang pow packets to appreciate their hard work in our kindergarten. By I reckon, it was part of my jobs as their superior to show some appreciation to motivate them. That's why when they presented the hamper, I didn't expect it at all.

 This is the lovely hamper

Have you ever received any hamper from anybody?

Sebenarnya saya isteri dia: Apa jadi bila selalu tgk dgn anak2.

Salam,

Skrg ni setiap Jumaat saya dah asyik menonton drama bersiri "Sebenarnya saya isteri dia" di TV3. Bila tengok mestilah tengok sekali dengan anak-anak. Kadang-kadang yang susahnya, bila Fathini, anak sulung yang berumur 8 tahun tu banyak sangat soalan-soalan mencabar minda. Yelah ada beberapa adegan antara suami isteri yang walaupun memanglah tak ada apa sangat tapi perkataan-perkataan yang digunakan tu menyebabkan Fathini sibuk nak tahu apa maksudnya. Contohnya macam episod tadi (07/07/13), ada adegan diaorg bangun pagi dan si suami cakap, "Jangan lupa mandi wajib". Tiba-tiba Fathini nak tahu apa mandi wajib tu. Terpaksalah bagitahu secara ringkas tapi bukanlah secara terperinci pun lagi sebab macam tak sesuai sangat nak cerita lagi. huhu.

Susah jugak nak tengok cerita-cerita orang dewasa dengan anak-anak lebih-lebih lagi yang dah pandai berfikir dan  nak tahu macam-macam. Nak cari masa diaorg dah tidur, kita pun dah mengantuk nak tengok tv. Jadi selagi tak de adegan yang melampau sangat, bolehla lagi tengok dengan anak-anak kan.

Ada yang ada masalah tak bila tengok cerita orang dewasa dengan anak-anak? Ada tak anak-anak bertanya macam-macam yang diaorg nak tahu?

Don't tell me to top up with FM!

Last Monday, I had to bring Husna to UMMC for the appointment in Pediatric Clinic. It's just a follow up appointment after Husna was warded for 3 days because of Pneumonia . Alhamdulillah the chest x-ray showed that there's nothing wrong with Husna. She's perfectly fine now. The doctor was concern more about her weight now as according to her she is slightly under weight. She asked about Husna's diet and also her other progresses. Since Husna is 11 months old now, she should be more than 7 kg. But Husna is only 6.6 kg. The difference is only 0.4 kg and the doctor asked me to consider topping up EBM (Expressed Breast Milk) with FM (Formula Milk)! I was not happy hearing the suggestion as I want to BF and give the EBM until Husna is 2 without topping it up with FM.

When I came back, I discussed with my husband and we also asked my MIL's opinion. My MIL told us not to worry so much about Husna's weight as she's so active and she eats well. Soon she's ll gain some more weight but she doesn't need to be so chubby if that's what doctors and nurses want to see. I'm so baffled up with nurses and doctors who can't really see the connection between the petite baby and her skinny mummy (yes now I'm quite skinny with 50 kg and my height is about 162 cm).

Has anyone experienced being told to top up your Breast Milk with Formula Milk?

Gwiyomi/Kwiyomi for Teachers' Day Celebration?

Giyoumi/Kiyomi is the latest of viral craze over YOU TUBE. There are already so many parody videos and many people find it so cute.

WHAT is Gwiyomi? I was clueless about this as well until I saw some videos uploaded by some of my friends on FB. I didn't even watch the video until the end as I couldn't see what's so cute with all of the actions.

The Gwiyomi Song, or Kwiyomi Song (귀요미 송), is a K-pop single by South Korean singer Hari and was released on February 18, 2013. It was inspired by a gesture from rapper South Korean Jung Ilhoon of boy group BtoB. The gesture is called 'Gwiyomi Player', which became an Internet meme in October 2012 followed by its first appearance on South Korean reality show by SBS MTV named MTV Diary. The gesture has also inspired many Asian netizens to upload their own versions onto the internet.

Yesterday, my eldest daughter came back and told me that her teacher has asked her and her friends to perform the Gwiyomi Song for the upcoming Teachers' Day Celebration. The teacher changed the lyrics like this:

1+1 Gwiyomi
2+2 Gwiyomi
3+3 Gwiyomi
4+4 Gwiyomi
5+5 Gwiyomi
6+6 Gwiyomi

Now, I'm not so sure why the teacher wants the children to perform that song. I just feel a little bit uneasy about the meaningless performance and it doesn't really teaching the children to appreciate the teachers. Teachers Day Celebration should include fun things but they also should be meaningful and teaching the children to appreciate teachers. Right?

Raif VS Husna: Not related to any political parties!

Last 2 weeks, my younger brother's family came to visit us and stayed the whole afternoon. They had lunch and then our kids spent their quality time playing together. Their kids Hana (3) and Raif (5 months old) played happily along side my daughters. Fathini & Hafizah became good hosts by entertaining their cousins with abundance of toys. Raif being the only boy there was not disturbed at all because he could only watched and most of the time being held by his mother.

Husna became clingy and jealous when I wanted to hold Raif. So, I decided to hold both of them and took a photo. Fathini was the photographer and after few trials, we managed to capture the moment when I held both of them. These 2 babies were born last year and about 5 months difference. However Raif is heavier and bigger than Husna as you can see in this photo:

Husna is on my right and Raif is on my left.

At the moment, Raif is almost 8 kg at the age of 5 months while Husna is only 7 kg at the age of 10 months. As I shared about my concern before regarding Husna's weight which is just slightly above the yellow line, I can even see the HUGE difference between her and her cousins who were born on the same year but they are younger (few months different). So, should I worry?

Having maid= spoiling your kids?

Hi, how's everybody?

I've been thinking about sharing this thought for a while. It's what I've seen and also heard from others. I'll also share my own experience in having maid around the house when we were growing up.

My own experience when I was small

We had some maids or my late mum referred as our helpers. Basically a maid/a helper just helps to do the household chores except for cooking. My late mum loved cooking. She would try her best to prepare the
meal for us even though she's busy with her job. We were told to do our own chores like washing our own uniforms and school shoes. My mum would scold us if we asked our helper to do what we were supposed to do. We treated all our helpers like our own family members and we appreciated them so much for helping us.

My own experience NOW

As I'm staying with my in-laws, I always ask my in-laws's maid to help out to take care of Husna. But I still pay her some money because she is doing so much work around the house. Most of the time, I try to help her out with some simple chores. I also love to prepare the meal for my family. I always tell my daughters not to be so demanding and they must do their own chores too like tidying up their toys, bringing the dirty plates into the sink and other simple tasks. I don't want my daughters to behave like "princess" who can order people around and treat a maid like a slave!


What I've heard and seen (somewhere)

Some people are treating their maids like slaves. Yes! It's TRUE. They expect so much and don't have the respect to the maid but want the maid to do work 24-7. They forget that the maid is also a human being who needs to rest and entitled to be respected. Then they let their kids to have the same kind of attitude. No wonder when their kids grow up, they never have the respect to others. They always have somebody who will do all the chores for them and they'll never learn even how to wash their own dishes. Why should they worry as when they get married, they'll ask their husband or they ask their wives to be their maid!


Why people were so angry at Indonesian government?

We have so many spoiled people who have grown up thinking that maids are the SLAVES. They think by paying RM500 per month, the maid should do all the chores without even having the rest and receiving other benefits. BUT when their bosses at work ask them to do extra work without paying extra, they'll be furious and refuse to do it. Why am I voicing out about this? Well.....I can't help but feeling like one of the maids too these days. I just hope that more people realize about what they've done and what they are doing now.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is to be earned not to be expected.

Diragut beg tgn ketika menghantar anak ke sekolah. (BM entry)

Salam,

Pagi tadi saya terkejut mendengar cerita seorang ibu yang diragut di tepi pagar sekolah ketika menghantar anak. Pembantu saya di tadika (tadika hanya di sebelah sekolah rendah) yang mendengar jeritan ibu tersebut yang menceritakan kejadian yang berlaku pagi tadi lebih kurang pukul 7 pagi. Ibu tersebut baru sahaja keluar dari kereta dengan memegang beg tangan di sebelah dan sebelah tangan lagi memegang tangan anaknya. Sewaktu kejadian, tiada ibu bapa lain ketika itu kerana lorong di tepi pagar sekolah adalah lorong yang agak sunyi. Pagar sekolah tersebut sebenarnya hanya dikhaskan untuk guru-guru sekolah tersebut untuk masuk dan meletakkan kenderaan mereka.

Peragut bertindak merampas beg tangan ibu tersebut sehingga putus tali beg dan kemudian menolak anaknya sehingga terjatuh. Kanak-kanak tersebut menjerit dan menangis. Pembantu saya tidak dapat menolong kerana ketika dia sampai peragut sudah melarikan diri. Ibu tersebut kehilangan wang sebanyak RM500 dan beberapa barangan peribadi.

Peringatan untuk diri sendiri dan yang membaca entri ini:

Kejadian ragut ni memang selalunya cepat saja berlaku dan kita tak sempat berbuat apa-apa. Apa yang boleh kita buat ialah sentiasa berhati-hati dan elakkan dari menggunakan jalan yang sunyi dan menjadikan diri anda sebagai sasaran peragut. Kita berusaha untuk mengelakkan dan kemudian kita bertawakallah kepada Allah supaya sentiasa memelihara kita dari kejadian-kejadian yang tidak diingini.

Respect the school properties PLEASE!!!

Salam,

Every day I have the HUGE challenge of reminding and teaching the kids in our kindy on how to respect school properties especially the educational toys that we've bought. It's only after 2+ months and some of school toys had been broken. Most of the kids especially the boys, play so rough and have to be reminded that they shouldn't throw or step on the toys.

I realize and fully aware that they are just kids. They have to be reminded every day about our expectations on them. The teaching and coaching happens every day and I always believe that they can be trained. It's just the matter of teaching the morals on how to behave as respect is one of the quality that one should have.

By tomorrow, maybe I should change the approach by taking away the privilege of playing with toys until they can learn to respect. hmmm. Not a bad idea.
