School Holiday

Here in Malaysia is 2 weeks school break...
I luv it coz don't have to rush Adam to school... :) can be more relax in the morning...
So, this school break, I wanna focus on Adam's writing skills, how to hold pencil properly, arabic alphabets, numbers and math (+ only), phonics english and malay, simple arabic words...I also bought some tools for him so that he won't get bored at home all day.
The activities only during morning after breakfast...like at kindy. Afternoon, I will be busy with my shop activities...I just let them play with tablet, drawing, watch cartoons...relax, play, fight with each other ha ha.
I bought Origami book, a new cut & paste book and opposites flash card.

Some of the Opposites flash cards...good one, only RM4.50 at Mr. DIY

This is how the cut and paste book look like inside...fun you know! scissor skills. Only RM7.90 at Hasani Kulim.

One more example of cut and paste, inside look.

After completing the book, there's a DIY certificate!

Origami book, inside look...only RM6.90 at Hasani Kulim.

Yesterday's result. He's already knows alif to dal... I will reduce the tracing activity, I want him to remember the alphabets and print it down...not tracing it.
Okey, below is the sample for Brillkids, arabic alphabets....just click & play every morning. The is sound not so clear though..I only record half due to the larger the size, slower to download..You want it? Available free at Brillkids library> foreign language, but you got to have the licence key only available once you buy the product. You can try for free and download this also free during the free trial time (9 days only).

Snap

This evening, I snapped. I was angry with my girl coz she climbed up the table (at my shop) and wanted to take the freeze magnets.
(After the collar bone case, I was a bit furious whenever she did that!) What would happen if she fell again?
I was angry because she could not stop crying and could not make decision of which  magnets she wanted.
I spanked her diaper covered butt. She cried even more.
I left...
When I came back, she was like napping.
Masyallah, she wanted her nap, that's why she was making a fuss.

Quickly I kissed her. I slapped my own face- HARD! a couple of times...
I removed all the magnets. I removed the chair she used to climb, Hopefully no more magnet crisis after this.

Tonight, looking at her eyes, I wonder If I could live long enough to be with her...I hope so.

***wrote this last week but just keep it in draft.

Hari Penat....bahagian akhir

Sampai rumah, angkut semua hasil shopping yang bosan tadi masuk dalam, bancuh susu...tak sempat minum susu dah lelap minah tu...kasihan.
Tadi ada beli muffin dan donut topping coklat. Aku paling tak suka, sebab nanti habis kotor rumah dengan coklat tuh! Muffin pulak, topping jer comel, bende tu tak sedap pun tapi sebab budak-budak ni suka, terpaksalah beli...seperti dijangkakan...habis berserdak bercoklat lantai...penat sapu & lap...(tak mop sebab  nanti stress + sakit pinggang).

Then bila nak bersihkan udang yang beli tadi, buka tong sampah....ulat pulak merenyut berlumba-lumba keluar....geli!!!!!!
Nasib baik laki dah balik, cepat-cepat suruh dia buang. Aku kalau sampah dah berulat memang tak sentuh...
Aku baru jer basuh tong tu, sampah dalam tu baru 2 hari...kalau 3 baru start nak bau. Bukan ada barang mentah macam ayam ke, udang pun...nasi lebih jer. Ni mesti ada telur lalat cuci tak bersih. Dah habis lantai penuh ulat....geli geleman. Satu kerja pulak cuci lantai dapur, ulat ni tak reti nak mati...curah air panas pun steady lagi, spray ridsect langsung tak jadi apa...spray insect untuk pokok pun...hampeh. Spray serai lagilah... jenuh la sakit pinggang cuci dapur. Sampai tak nampak binatang tu dah baru...relax kejap. Tapikan bagus jugak, kalau tidak, jangan haraplah nak cuci lantai dapur tu. Dah buang tong kat semak belakang rumah...guna plastik gantung kat pintu dapur jelah, hari-hari buang jamin tak berulat.

Masak dinner...angkit kain...masuk dalam rumah kotor lagi dengan serdak donat dan muffin...laki aku memang ngadap tablet dia jer. Biarlah dia, kalau dia nak tolong Alhamdulillah, kalau tanak pun takper.
Tapi memang PENAT. The chores never end...

Hari penat...bahagian 1

Hari ni pergi beli barang dapur...ok, ikut plan nak pegi pukul 10.30pg macam biasa. Sempatlah habis soping pukul 11.30 terus ambil Adam di tadika.
Tetiba, supplier call...nak hantar barang lagi 15 minit sampai? Berapa ringgit semua ni? RM800 ++. Alamak awatlah tak call awal-awal? Selalunya akaun department akan call dulu hari sebelum. Dah sudah tergedik-gedik pegi bank...si adik tak sempat salin cd. hanceng giler... dari rumah ke kedai jauhla jugak, dalam 15km jugaklah...dah settel semua, malaslah nak buka kedai harini lagipun takde barang nak bungkus. Lepak rumahlah.
Tukar plan, lepas ambil Adam baru ke Tesco...beli itu ini itu ini...si adik pun mengantuk tunjuk tantrum. Masa bayar pulak cubalah cari counter yang jauh dari grolier...dah takde, depa buka 3 kaunter betul-betul  depan tu. Dah habis bayar ni, cam biasa mamat grolier akan mai masa tengah terhegeh-hegeh simpan duit dalam dompet...layan sikit la, bagitau 'saya dah beli'...dah, depa nak nama kawan untuk program referal pulak...haritu cakap dengan mamat lain, hari ni mamat lain...sama jer program referal tu bukan sesuka hati aku boleh bagi nombor kontek kawan aku...kena tanya dulu. Adik dah takmo duduk dalam trolley, nak dukung..camner nak dukung? nak tolak trolley lagi, aku letak jer dalam tu, menjerit gila baban punya...semua orang tengok. Come on laa...tak pernah tengok budak nangis ker? Aku cool jer...Aku, kalau nampak budak/anak orang tantrum aku akan cuba buat tak tengok, kesian parents dia...Normal la weh. Menjerit histeria tahap gaban sampai masuk keter...aku letak kat belakang, terus balik...histeria sampai rumah...sakit telinga tau dak....

bersambung...

Fate....

Do you believe in fate?
I do, I always do...
I know Allah is helping me to get out of trouble by showing me the path.

Actually I am gonna write about Adam's preparation before the mid term exam but something amazing happened today I have to jot down. My mom is out of country so cannot call her to express my feeling.

Last two days, I sent a parcel Poslaju to my customer at Sarawak. The parcel cost supposed to be RM40+ due to the size but the officer that day (my friend) just calculated the postage by the weight itself and only cost RM19.00.
Okay fine, so I was gonna refund the shipping balance to my customer thru Paypal since she paid using credit card. I planned to refund tonight because we were at the hospital doing follow up for Adel's broken bone all day.

Suddenly I got a call from Poslaju saying that a parcel had to be returned to me. Why? I was wondering who's parcel? They said that the parcel from Sabah/Sarawak...
Coming back from hospital, dug out all the invoices to Borneo, off to Poslaju office... Owh...it was the parcel to my recent customer in Sarawak. Why? I asked my pos officer friend, apparently one of the item inside the parcel cannot be delivered by air. It might Xplode!!! Ohhh, maybe that new product just added in my catalog. This is the first time the item been sold. I know that this item cannot be shipped outside Malaysia but never know that it cannot be shipped by air.
Okay, luckily the customer is okay and understand the situation and I am gonna refund the item value only.
So, I don't have to cover the shipping loss. I won't ask my customer to pay shipping twice. I just use the shipping balance to re-ship the parcel with other items.

Thanks to Allah for saving me from loss...Alhamdulillah for your path. I promise to be a better person, better mom, better wife, better muslim...

Exam...?

Yup, feeling like writing in Malay.

Pagi tadi, tetiba cikgu tadika bagitau next week ada exam. Terkejut mak...Adam ni boleh la dikatakan tak mengenal abjad. Jawi lagi (tahu Alif jer), 123 pun I tak konfem dia tau. Sebab tiap kali tanya mesti salah...

Tanya cikgu, dia camana kat school? Cikgu kata, dia lambat sikit....
Yelah, mama faham...mama tak kisah Adam dapat markah kosong. Mama tau tahap Adam di mana. Adam masih di tahap 3.5 years old. Adik pulak yang dah pandai bilang sampai 13.

Mungkin esok ajak dia praktis dengan tools grolier yang fun thinker tu. Lama tak main sebab benda buka tutup tu suka hilang...so simpan buat pekasam. There's nothing much I can do in a short notice. I don't wanna think bout it. Let it be...

Kengkadang stress tengok anak kawan dah boleh solve simple math....buang perasaan banding-banding jauh-jauh. Adam ni tak sama...dia lambat sket disebabkan masalah dia tue. Nanti nak masuk sekolah mesti duduk kelas belakang... :(

I just focus on activities during this mid term break, dah beli buku baru, buku origami, puzzle untuk adik, since adik dah pandai solve puzzle kat tablet, so beli puzle 'hidup' kat dia.

Gud Luck my son.

After 3 years, my Adam's is doing well. Keep supporting him and guide him. He could read both Bahasa Malaysia and English very well.
I noticed that the center i mentioned at Permatang Pauh is no more there maybe moved to somewhere else.
May be you could asked your paed to refer to the specialist in your area if you found out that your child cannot utter proper sentences at the age of 4 years old. Don't live in denial go get help.

Brillkids Little Reader Week 10

Quick update about things that have been learnt.
Pattern Phonic: ee, it

Little maths, we are at day43, counting up to 50, and randomly reducing the numbers and adding the numbers.

Whenever I have time, I will do the old fashion way: flashcard and asked her to count. She can count up to 10 correctly.

She still enjoying the moment. Even though I am busy with shop and chores, still manage to do little reader and little maths every morning and evening. Less than 5 minutes each session. Thinking about video recording but have nobody to help me capturing the precious moment. :))

We read the books given together...bot of them know that reading is from left to right...

Remember, don't focus on result, just enjoy the moment...:)

Speech Therapy Session 12

Yuhuuuuu!!!!!!!
Good News....Adam is making so much progress so we just need to follow up once a month!

Well, after a month, Adam is asking about Ms. K.
"I want Ms. K, mom..."
So this morning, after bath time, I told him that we are going to see Ms. K, he was so excited and wanted to skip breakfast...Just imagine if today was the last session, he would be sad :(

Ms. K is a nice lady...very good with children. She has lot's of experience with special need children like down sindrom, celebral palsy, delay speech (like my son), hyperactive kids...autism....So, case like Adam is 'kacang' for her.

So, today we continue with; story sequence and practiced with prepositions.
Then, the opposites, focus more to opposite with adjective - young/old, tall/short, fat/thin, clean/dirty, strong/weak, happy/sad, small/big, open/close, wet/dry, hard/soft...so on.


Knowing opposites and adjectives will help him build sentences.
  • She asked me to keep it simple not complicated.
  • Always correcting his pronunciation.
  • Speak clearly especially in Malay because Malay has more 'suku kata'. (I don't know what 'suku kata' is in English).
  • Show him a story sequence picture and ask him to tell short story.
So, class resume next month - June 2012.

Skim Pembiayaan Peningkatan Perniagaan SPPP

What is this? SPPP, ni sesapa nak buat pinjaman dari MARA buleh pegi pejabat MARA berdekatan...nak tahu di mana? Sila buat research sendiri, kalau makan suap sampai bila tak berjaya.

Buleh pinjam sampai setengah juta lu tau tak...untuk bumiputra sahaja. Sorry yer 1 Malaysia not applicable.
Lagi, syarat kelayakan:
1. Warganegara Malaysia bumiputra 18tahun ++.
2. Berpengalaman/Berpengetahuan dalam bidang perniagaan diceburi.
3. Ada lesen/permit/surat kebenaran pihak berkuasa untuk menjalankan perniagaan tersebut.
4. Dapat menyumbangkan modal 10% dari kos projek.
5. Usahawan melibatkan diri sepenuh masa dalam perniagaan - kalau sambil menyelam minum air tak payah  
   tamak.
6. Telah berniaga lebih 6 bulan.
7. Ada premis perniagaan sendiri atau disewa. Perlu kemukakan surat perjanjian sewa yang dimati setem.
8. Lulus ujian Psikometri (akan dikendalikan oleh MARA).

Kadar faedah 4% setahun yer kawan-kawan usahawan...murah sangat kalau dibandingkan oleh bank. Bank nak cagaran lagi, bank statement lagi, bisnes plan...yang ni kalau nak pinjam lebih 50K barula perlu kertas kerja.

Bajetku dah siap, anggaran berapa nak pinjam dah ada...

Walaupun aku semua checked kecuali yang no 8...(itu kalau semua dah settle baru akan dijalankan).
Naluriku  berkata, 'Tak payah...'

Patut ke buat pinjaman perniagaan?

Sebenarnya ku di dalam dilema....
Teringin nak majukan perniagaan dengan cepat.
Tapi, limited funds. With more funds, I can upgrade more stocks in my shop..hire 2employees which must be a housewife or single moms, move to new strategic location, expand services...I know I will succeed.

Tapi kalau buat pinjaman, nanti terbeban nak bayaq bulanan...biz ok no hal, biz slowmo? mampus.
Silap-silap bengkrap.

Tapi, kalau nak berjaya kena ambil risiko. Kalau saya tunggu, biz saya sekarang ok, cuma lambat sikit...

Mak macam tak berapa suka...biasalah orang tua kan. Satgi ada 'riba' la pulak...
Hubby pula haritu kata kalau nak berjaya kenalah buat pinjaman, tapi tadi bagitau dia kata nak buat pinjaman,
dia kata; "nanti hidup dalam hutang"...aiyoh!!!

Aku memang eligible untuk loan Mara ni. Insyallah dapat...cuma fikir nak ke tak?
Apa-apapun buat budget survival two years...

Tengok member dalam Fb, ramai yang duk pi program Dr. Azizan yang ntah apa2 tue...pastu bergamboler beramai-ramai...kita boleh...kita boleh kaya... - tu dah salah konsep tu...nak kaya.

Yang kaya si polan yang pakai baju askar tu la. Sebab you all bayaq yuran nak tengok dia bebel...suka hati you all. Kalau bejaya Alhamdulillah. Aku memang tak pi benda karut macam ni. Kalau nak buat, just do it...
You have idea, you have will - just go for it...!!! tak yah nak pi kursus keusahawanan la, kursus hias tingkap la, oklah nak dapat ilmu tapi ku tak suka buang masa cenggitu. Duit buleh di cari tapi masa? Baik luangkan masa dengan anak-anak...kan?

I am proud to be SAHM

What is SAHM?
Stay At Home Mom

Today, I feel proud to be one.
I can take care of my children myself.
If anything happens, it will be under my supervision and my responsibility...not others.
For example: the collar bone case during our holiday?

Today, I feel sad coz I watched this video showing a woman abusing a baby...together the moms shared on FB and eventually the video was shared/sent to the police. I really hope the culprit would be brought to justice. I feel like throwing rotten eggs to that woman...really spoiled my mood coz the video repeatedly playing again and again in my head.

I am happy coz I can take care of my own children under my nose. Never mind that I am super duper 'garang' (what we call garang in English?). I will never let that kind of thing(s) happen to my kids. We will never know how good someone else takes care of our child... It won't be as good as us the mother.

:) I believe Allah will take care of that...

My Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Apa nak buat kalau mic rosak? Tak buleh main talking cat dan record video or google voice search?

-Hantar servis. Lepas servis my SGT takde masalah. Takde lagi masalah 'hang', masalah tak leh detect wifi secara automatik, dan takde lagi masalah bengong tak tentu hala. Interface/software pun dah update. 

Apa nak buat jika Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 cannot detect sim card?

-Ni lah masalah aku sekarang!!!!! Tensi tau. Segalanya terjadi lepas hantar servis mic rosak...Sesuka hati reboot pastu dah naik tanda 'no sim card'...then kena tutup off tablet dan cabut sim card, then masukkan balik.
Mula-mula jarang-jarang...tapi lama-lama sehari 2-3-4 lima kali...tensi beb especially tengah wifi toggle dan bebudak tengah rancak main tablet...kita pula duk tunggu email penting. 

-Forum kata: 
1) insert the sim card correctly sampai bunyi 'click'.------> dahlah. Takkan bodo sangat kot?
2) the sim card might be dirty with thumb print...Maybe, since it started after the service.
3) the sim slot maybe corrupted or damaged... kena hantar servis lagi. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Takpelah, I love my SGT. Bebaru ni belikan ipad 3 tuk mak. Banyaknya benda takde...especially widgets. Then I know that mine is much better than ipad.......once go android cannot turn apple that's for sure.

UPDATE: Betul, sila wipe sim card anda. Mine, after i wiped....TADA!!!! no more problemo :)))))

Pasar Malam

Saya tak suka pergi pasar malam.
Dulu ok jer, setiap minggu pergi, beli lauk, makanan, macam-macam boleh beli di situ.
Segalanya bermula setelah mengandung...tak boleh hidu asap dan bersesak. Tau sajalah bila preggie, hidung jadi sensitif, tesco pun tak jejak sebab bau ikan...ha ha ha
Dah lama gila tak gi pasar malam...lebih kurang 2 tahun. ada sebab lain rupanya selain tak suka asap dan kesesakan bau peluh orang ramai di situ...

Semalam pegilah...kat Jawi Perlis nie...saya di kampung hubby. Bukan apa, dah ajak dia kuar C-mart, nak beli kasut si Adelina ni. As usual, hubby akan tidur jer bila di kampung ni. Bosan betullah...
Dah petang...takpelah, jom gi pasar malam, buleh cari makanan dan kasut adik. Tak perlulah mak mertua masak. Saya memang tak masak kat kampung kecuali untuk anak-anak jer.

Saya beli mee kuah, satyy daging & ayam, hubby beli pulut durian, lagi beli ayam goreng...lima ketul RM16.00 (mahalnya kalah KFC)!!! Mak mertua macam biasalah pi beli barang basah...ikan, ayam...sayur.
Kasut adik, dapatlah 2 pasang.

Tak sabarnya nak makan...sekali mee kuah rasa hampeh!!!! Makan sikit jer, kalau makan habis dijamin sakit perut. Satay boleh tahanlah. As usual, satay daging akan guna daging import... ayam goreng ok, Adam makan seketul, saya pun ngap seketul dalam keter. Hubby makan pulut durian...terus mabuk sampai tengahari esoknya iaitu hari ini...masih sakit perut, angin satu badan...asal balik kampung, mesti sakit...

Kan dia cuti Wesak ganti hari Isnin esok? Dia nak balik esok, saya nak balik harini...esok banyak kerja kedai, Adam pun dah ponteng harini, takkan nak ponteng esok lagi?...last week dah ponteng seminggu...

So, kat pasar malam, kecuali you betul-betul selalu pergi dan tau mana nak beli makanan sedap...ok. Kalau main terjun beli...banyak yang membazir sebab akan masuk tong jer...tak pun keracunan makanan. 
Baru teringat sebab-sebab tak pi pasar malam: makanan tak sedap mana pun...
