RF and Iqra' : Part III

Alhamdulillah...

anak mama dah masuk iqra' 2....

proses pembelajaran sekarang berjalan sangattttt lancar....

Contoh macam gambar di atas...dah kenal huruf "ayn" kt iqra' 1...kt atas tunjuk mcmana huruf tu kalau di permulaan ayat, di pertengahan ayat or di akhir ayat...alhamdulillah dapat menerima dengan mudah

as well mcm ada tnjk huruf "jiim" biler bersambung kan tinggal kepala dia je kan? sekali je kat iqra tnjk huruf "jiim" di mana ada dot kat bawah...trus lepas tu farouq dapat tangkap utk "jiim" & "haa" and "kha"...

GOOD JOB anak mama....

i've uploaded above video di instagram...since dh ada combination of 3 huruf dan belum belajar tajwid utk panjang n pendek...so skrg i dah stat ajar farouq mengaji berlagu!! supaya biler masuk part tajwid, insyaAllah akan lebey memudahkan.....

proses mengajar mengaji skrg 80% hanyalah memantau...sbb dia dh kenal huruf...just 20% tu la dia kadang2 konfius..usually yang dia konfius?

nun & mim

qaaf & kaaf

its ok farouq...slowly k...

RF and Iqra' : Part II

Alhamdulillah...

semalam ada orang dh sampai huruf "YA"..he started to read as per this post...about 1 month ++ jgk to finish iqra 1...adakah dia akan starts mengaji Al-Quran when he turns 5? insyaAllah...everything is possible...

but eventho dah sampai "ya"..but i akan repeat at least the last 3 pages until this weekend...sbb i mmg selalu mengulang same pages at least 3 days...yesss sehari farouq akan baca min 2 pages and max 3 pages...lagipun iqra' 2 ada kt rumah VP..hihi..esok baru balik..so ahad mayb start baca iqra 2? 

why farouq at least akan baca 2 pages? contoh as below :

Day 1

Page 1

Day 2

Page 1 &

Page 2

Day 3

Page 1 &

Page 2 & 

Page 3

Day 4

Page 2 &

Page 3

Page 4

and usually kan  iqra ada as example page 4 mayb huruf "jim" then page 5 huruf "jim" and "ha"..sbb next page tu dh combined ngan previous word, so i akan skip la page 4 on the 3rd day....lebey kurang mcm tu la...

lately ni i suruh dia baca 2 pages...but before starts akan suruh dia baca main huruf few pages before that, and before ends akan baca huruf utk next day...gitu la..

baru nak belajar memang kena repeat and repeat and repeat...tapi xleh lama hold iqra 1 utk dia ulang, sbb lama2 nanti dia mesti bosan and akan cakap "kan dah baca mama"

till then....

RF and Iqra'

Last night (02/12/2014) 1st time i mengajar farouq mengaji...Iqra' dah beli lama betul....selalu dok tekankan writing and math kan...biler i update pasal his progress in this and this posts...baru mcm terdetik pasal bacaan jawi dia...

So smlm la bermulanya....dia buat homework while i was cooking...and ingatkan i nak proceed ngan mengaji before makan..tp sbb mama terleka ngan hp, so siap masak dh lambat...si kecik dh siapkan 2pages of writing dia ha...so xjadi ngaji and trus la makan...masa menunjukkan pukul 8.45pm lebey kurang la...

so ingatkan lps makan nak sambung ngaji...tp memikirkan i akan tinggalkan rumah serdang pagi esoknya, so dapur kena kemas bebetul...so i suruh dia layan tv while i berkemas...then biler mama dah siap, trus siapkan dia pakai sleepwear and solat dl....

Biler si kecik ready nak solat, i was like..."nanti lepas solat kita ngaji ek farouq" dia muka harus la happy...bling bling ha mata mcm rasa benda tu menarik bebenor..sambil mulut menyanyi "alif ba ta sa jim ha ho..."

then mama reply.."tu farouq baca je tau...ni farouq kena mengenal huruf2 jawi yang farouq nyanyi tu"...still  masih menunjukkan minat yang sangat membara.....

so while si kecik solat *alhamdulillah skrg dh xyah teman2 sgt si kecik solat...just kena monitor everytime after sujud ke-2"..so i prepare la benda2 nak stat mengaji...while mama dh whatsapp-ed geng2 opis tanya kalau ajar ngaji iqra' atau muqaddam kena ada air sembahyang and wudhu' ke....

Top left : mulakan dgn iqra' pink itu...iqra 1
and xde rehal kita pakai meja laptop we bought from ikea itu

HOW was it?

ermmm....mama mmg cepat marah ke apa...1st time anak baru nk mengenal expectation tinggi bebenor ha...sbb aunty kt school ckp dh stat mengenal jawi...so baru iqra' 2pages dgn max ada 3 hurf..AA BA TA...asyik marah2 je sbb br baca dh lupa...after like 20kali ulang..nmpk dh dia makin ingat...

"Farouq!!! kan baru baca ni td...takkan dh lupa?? farouq xnak jadi pandai ye?" - mama

"Farouq nak pandai...farouq tak ingat...farouq penat...." - farouq

ye la jam menunjukkan almost pukul 11mlm...selalu lps solat mmg lompat naik katil and baca2 doa n tido...ttiba ada aktiviti baru plk....harap2 dia xnangis lps ni biler mama ajak ngaji....tapi lps dia dh leh baca dgn lancar *even 3 huruf* trus mama kasi kata2 semangat...

"pandai farouq...haaa kan senang je kan? hi-5!!"

so dia pn memberi hi-5 sambil tersengih2 and peluk2 mama....

ok farouq mari kita belajar lagi....and mama pls jangan garang sgt LOL

update :
ingatkan anak ku trauma ke...and smlm (03/12/2014) biler dia ready utk solat then dia cakap "after solat kita baca alif ba ta dulu ye mama?" and mama pn reply "alaaaa mama lupa bawak iqra' farouq la...nnti mama beli baru tinggal rumah opah then kita ngaji k"....

Learning Activities : Connect dots & Coloring

Last weekend we stayed at serdang...so of coz biler kat serdang i akan buat some learning activities with lil farouq...

so we enjoyed connecting dots(with alphabet) and connecting dots as an alphabet...

Did 3 pages...i will be next to him when he connecting dots and then gave him color pencils to colored the drawing according to the chosen color... time buat 2 pages tu boleh ditinggalkan dalam blek whilst mama masak...then when it comes to the 3rd page, mula la malas....

"mama...done"

padahal baru separuh.....bising2 n teman2 kejap then mama lari balik g dapur....

"mama....done"

tipu je lebey budak tu...last2 kena teman smpi la dia siapkan....HAHAHA

baru nak start...baru 1st pagi...tekun smpi posing pn tnjk "peace" je...

Pages ikut sususan...part carrot tu dia dh malas dh :D

so connecting dots tu pn sambil mengeja...tp anak i kan x pandai membaca..tp konfius sbb dia mcm dh pandai PHONICS rasanya...sekejap "P" sekejap "Pehh"...sekejap "T" sekejap "Tehh"....

connect dots yang jadi compang camping hehehe

Till next learning activities....banyak ni stok nak beraktiviti...science pjct..origami...coloring with glitters..kita wat coloring ngan water color...SEMUA BARANG DAH ADA OK...tinggal masa je takde...

nak main cop2 pakai kentang ke..pelepah pisang...bendi tu ke...best tu!! nanti la ye FAROUQ!! hehehe

Learning Activities : Alphabet Lego

Ever since kami pasang this set meja lego...si kecik ni mmg kurang main sket sbb lego ni dia suka main if berteman...

So one day aritu kami spent masa bdua je kt rumah serdang..and melayan si kecik main lego...

He was the one yang start aktiviti ngan buat alphabet..started dengan huruf T, the easiest one kan...hehehe..

part mencabar biler suruh mama buat A & S & V tu la...sbb semua ada curve kan...nasib la awk dpt mama yang KREATIF ni tau....

Happy lil boy...

BTW...leh x teka huruf2 yang mama n lil farouq dh buat tu??

teka...



teka.....

:D
yang satu tu kena buat bridge as per what he requested

Learning Activities : Color Sorting, Identifying Numbers and Counting

When i saw ikea is selling these colorful straws...immediately i wanted to do so learning activities with my lil boy...

All from ikea :D

1) COLOR SORTING 

• Arrange colorful cups
• He has to choose straw and cup that match in colors and put the straw into the cups

Top : the final output
Bottom : his excitement before the activities started

 2) COUNTING

• Counts straws in each cups and put into a bigger storage

 3) IDENTIFYING NUMBERS

• I wrote down each numbers from 1 to 10 at the cups
• Ask him to arrange number *currently ascending*
• Facing the numbers towards him but later on he got distracted and lost count, so decided to changed the position of cups and he had to walk to the other side of the table to get the cup with the correct written number

4) COUNTING

• Fill in the cups with straw according to the identified numbers

I took the cups in random for him to put in the straws

The result!
and can see him behind dh boring n plays with his track

A good activities...but i think he get bored easily...because he knows colors, numbers and counting....a bit late i think...

coz we usually had an informal learning activities :

• while driving : asked him the color or cars either infront or beside our car
• asked him the color of traffic lite
• count the cars passing by...

and furthermore, sekarang ni kami dh start dengan aktiviti "mathematik = penambahan" dgn menunjuk jari example 2 + 4, 2 jari kiri n 4 jari kanan and biler i rapatkan dia akan kira n then , i asked him again...TWO plus FOUR is? he will says??!! SIX 

3 Qul

Alhamdulillah

Since membaca Al Fatihah sebelum tido dh di amalkan since last year lagi...read here...and i think last month kot mama tetiba extend kan bacaan sebelum tido...

3 Qul...and suprisingly 1st saja nk membaca bagi dia dengar BUT my lil boy leh baca dengan baik even ada pelatnya..yang kerap salah *mama pn baca sama pn slalu salah* adalah surah Al-Falaq...suka sangat la berpusing2 and kadang2 si kecik yang btulkan...HAHAHAH....

i suspect ni la bacaan mereka dalam solat...sbb awal2 dulu biler selesai baca surah, dia akan "Allahuakbar" mcm ala2 nk rukuk :D ....lps tu gelak sbb tgh baring mcmana nak rukuk kan....then after 4 surah sudah di baca, Al-Fatihah + 3 Qul...akan ada sesi salam kiss smua ngan  mama, then dia akan selawat ke atas nabi...as in mcm lps solat nk bsalam ramai2 kan slalu kita berselawat...hehehe...

Ni la salah satu sebab kenapa i chose islamic montessori yang menerapkan pendidikan islam sebagai pendedahan awal, sbb we as a working mom....BILER and MAMPU ke i nak ajar dia? seawal mcm ni leh membaca n menghafal...i bet kalau mampu pn Al-Fatihah je kot...

di Brainy Bunch, di sebabkan oleh islamic montessori method yang diamalkn, mereka x aim supaya anak2 LAJU and PUSH untuk membaca, but they guarantee that they can read before drg masuk primary school! kalau x pandai jgk before nak habis blaja umur 6thn, akan ada special class...i think its free!

and dulu dia x pandai sgt berzikir tp sbb i skrg lps bacaan mcm ni slalu baca bagi dia dgr, and last week odw home after fetch him from school, dia berzikir smbl ddk belakang sorang2...and iqamat sekali...terkejut mak anak iqamat n biler btulkan dia marah..."mama jangan la follow farouq" T____T

I'm PROUD of you my son!!! takpe x pandai baca lagi...speaking pn bukan terer even anta kt school yang "english" as their medium..cikgu2 pn ckp melayu kan...janji byk improvement yang mama x mampu bagi kerena kekangan masa ni...tp itulah pelaburan yang kami as a parent buat utk menggantikan smua masa yang tertinggal tu yang xdapat kami ajar...tapi biler dh belajar kena la rajin jgk kami ni ulang n ulang n ulang kasi dia mudah ingat....

insyaAllah...baby step k farouq....awak baru 3tahun n 4bulan++ je kan...

Origami!

One of his aunty uploaded farouq's video at school...

part of his activites at school...to develop his motor skill as well learn to be focus...

Nangis macam biasa sekejap je...but mmg btul si kecik ni kurang fokus sket..or should i say dia cepat boring...so same thing happended at school nampaknya...

Well done farouq! all of aunties and uncles impressed with u...penangan main lipat2 kertas jadi kan roket? bahahaha....

so now dh preschool rajin2 kan tangan untuk menulis and juga rajin2 kan mulut untuk membaca plk...i nak ajar guna phonics method...tapi xreti...any parents ada web or link yang i leh refer??

Kindly share...i ada jgk la downloaded n dh tau phonic tu, tp xreti bila nak bunyikan jadi satu benda..kalau mak pn dh xreti, mcmana nak ajar anak?? my sis ada la ajar cara dia, tp tergelak ada la...hehehe...

untuk anak ni, mak2 pn kena blaja bukak buku balik kan selalunya :)

PreSchool : BBIM : 2014

Alhamdulillah anakku sudah menginjak umur ke tahun 4..eventho baru 3tahun and 2 bulan...so he needs to be moved from Playschool to Preschool..

Currently he still at BBIM Taman Pelangi, Gombak...plan utk pindahkan ke KL Sentral mayb 2nd Quarter this year...ye la rumah serdang pn xsiap lagi..and procedure utk tkr campus pn x leceh so not a big problem la..annual fees and smua fees sama KECUALI monthy fee...BBIM Taman Pelangi berada di zon/set B where the monthly fee is RM 600/month and for student lama still maintain at RM 580/month...whilst BBIM KL Sentral plk under zon/set A di mana monthly fee ialah RM 750/month...

So dgn delay 3 bulan, i dapat save RM 150*3..hiksss...yang save ni duit yours truly tau..sbb dulu biler nak tkr campus, raised the issue to hubby...dia cakap additional RM 150 tu i kena tanggung..baru i ingat nak potong duit elaun farouq...en suami kata i tanggung dengan cara dia akan reduce kan my monthly allowance by RM 150 la..

Yours Truly ni harus la melatah kan..en suami trus potong...aisshhhh awak ada pendapatan bulanan aka gaji, farouq simpanan dia based on allowance kita bagi...mana leh potong allowance farouq... T___T ye la...sila la berlaku adil, tp kalau increment dapat this year, naikkan allowance bini awak ni supaya dpt contra ngan pemotongan itu k...BAHAHAHA...

so berbalik kepada sesi persekolahan 2014, for the 1st time farouq dapat SCHOOL UNIFORM..for the past 7 months dia pakai SPORTS UNIFORM je...so harus la hari pertama dia mengamuk!! nak bukak baju sbb dia cakap tu bukan uniform sekolah dia...ishhh ishhh ishhh...nasib la mama bangun awal, siap awal so managed to reached office by 8.30 jgk...

senyum itu lakonan saja je...

selepas amukan di pagi hari..nak turun bawah n ke kereta and ke school smua kena dukung..ok la mama pujuk...adegan menangis di depan pintu??? MACAM BIASA LA....i siap buat lawak ngan pengetua dia.."SALAM..NI ADA BUDAK BARU SAMPAI"...drg gelak je trus pakaikan name tag...

habis citer 1st day at PreSchool...so time fetch dia from school...tanya his progress...aunty said dia merasakan dia masih di zaman Playschool...lari masuk Playhouse instead patutnya drg dah kena banyak blaja...ye la dulu sronok ddk Playhouse main puzzle la...main block la..main Globe la apa la...skrg tidak lagi ok! 

Pics posted from FB Brainy Bunch on their 1st day

seems he was ok & fine kan on his 1st day? tido pn ok...makan pn ok..lagi kronik budak sorang tu nangis smpi cikgu peluk...farouq plk entah kenapa sorok blkg tu..aunty said dia tgh wandering around..hahaha...ye la for his 1st day pn xde beza pn, ari2 before that pn mmg g school just xde ramai orang n xde blaja..banyak main je sbb school holiday kan..

today mood baik..tido smlm pn before 10pm, balik dari school i dh tapaukan nasi lemak bungkus kecik tu..trus makan biler sampai, habis sebungkus! kebuluq apa? selalu konfius bebudak ni cukup ke tak makan kat school? tp smpi je dpn pintu berdukung la biler nak pass to aunty..tp tanpa drama tangisan or tarikan tudung..hehehe...

so balik dari sekolah? alwiz happy...ok je nk bergambar...hehehe...and the other hand, night before tu mama mengelupur sbb baru teringat seluar uniform x alter lagi..selama ni pakai sports uniform jenis seluar grip tu..so tu yang terlupa...jahit sembat/jelujur je la...dah la one side tu kasar giler jelujur smpi nampak benang dari depan...xkisah la..nnti opah smpi kita mntk opah tolong jahit ek :)

1st Annual International Education & Parenting Conference (IEIPC)

1st Annual International Education & Parenting Conference (IEPC).....Organized by Brainy Bunch Foundation & One Heart Creative Solution

below i attached 3 pamphlets..the 1st two look similar but different in the "TICKET PRICE" and the last one is the current pamphlet and the current price if you plan to attend this conference..

It is RM 100/pax...

sorry pamphlet dh renyuk sbb ni scanned copy

I've been thinking to join but the latest ticket price yang i tau was RM 300 per COUPLE...dah sapa plk couple aku nak g nanti..HEHEHE...then hasrat dah terkubur...

and i saw mommynadia updated as below..so biler i tgk my saved photo dalam phone br prasan yang i mmg dh save their current pamphlet and mmg dah stated ticket price RM 100 jer.....

when the 1st time i knew this (with the price of RM300/pax), mmg i dah tanya BBIM and they said they provide a day care..but until 10pm?? kesian anakku...kalau teacher dia ada skali ok kot..kalau orang dia xknal and we dont know how many kids will be there lagi...and memandangkan anakku ni dh 6 bulan di school pn hanya certain cikgu je dia akan stop menangis pepagi itu pn KEKADANG je...

so with this reduced of price..i kena tanya my mom (tapi kesian la plk smpi malam) or i anta kat my auntie yang ada bebudak kecik yang boleh tgkkan si kecik...aiiishhh senangnya kalau ada suami leh tgk kan anak..xyah susahkan sesiapa T___T but if the aunties will be there to look after him, im gonna bring him of coz! :D

Feel free to their website to know more of this...and 100% profit from this event will go to children of PALESTINE, EGYPT & SYRIA...

Sekarang ni xsemua alphabet dia tau...tp yang pasti dia mmg confuse dengan :

• U and V *beza dia sorang curve sorg sharp kt hujung*
• T and I  *sbb sorang tu ada satu palang sorang tu ada atas bawah palang*

as at today pya progress..sbb dia suka baca if ada alphabet kt baju ke...so huruf lain kena test la dulu...MASA UNTUK PAKAI FLASHCARDS ABC....hehehe

JOM BELAJAR FAROUQ...

Flash Cards

Rajin la sket since ada video between me n my son during our Flash Cards activities..so baru smgt nk post it here...

and was about to post my experience..i read Dr Halina's post about Flash Cards and she just posted it today....she started to introduce PHYSICAL Flash Card to her daughters at earlier age compared with what i did to farouq..because i just bought ok flash cards, tu pn bulan May this year..can read it here... :D

But tu bukan bermakna i xpernah exposekan flash cards to him..selalunya n selama ni downloaded from Apps Store je..which good for younger age sbb ada bunyi..so berminat la sket kan..leh la kenal bunyi binatang n vehicles ke..dua dalam satu la kan..kenal binatang plus bunyi skali...can read it here..

Out of 6 boxes..i baru bukak :

1) Flash Cards "Numbers"

• penat nak kasi dia kenal numbers..Flash Cards tu : 1 side tunjuk angka and 1 side ada gmbr yang tunjuk kuantiti...dia lagi berminat nak kira or nak tau kuantiti gmbr tu..so kasi dia kira n then flip the card ckp tu la number for the quantity yang dia baru kira...

2) Flash Cards "My Body"

• last for 2 days je..once i dah bukak Animals dia dh malas ngan body parts ni...sbb mostly dia dh tau..huhu...tp ada la few parts yang agak baru for him..like ankle, thigh and lips...sbb kalau tanya mouth kan dia akan muncungkan bibir/mulut tu..so bila lips aka bibir, mama jadi confius mcmana nk ajar...HAHAHA *sorry farouq*

3) Flash Cards " Animals"

• Si kecik ni kan excited ngan animals...so kadang2 lps mandi pagi before to school..dia yang capai n susun ajak belajar..padahal dh lambat ni..huhu...so ada 16cards with 32types of animals..both sided ada gmbr..and out of 32..rasanya dia xkenal less than 5 je kot..YEAAAA...such as camel, turkey and squirrel..
• Ada few animals dia agak confuse...shark dia konfius sbb gigi dia xtajam sbb selama ni mama ajar shark ada gigi tajam..dia cakap SHARK = DOLPHIN...LOL...and also TIGER dia cakap as CAT and one more xtau cow sbb slalu COW kan hitam+putih..dlm ni brown plk....pffftttt..and usually chicken tp kt flash card ada Hen..so mama iyerkan je la as chicken..nanti2 la kita baru specific between hen and rooster ok farouq..heheheh
• Suprisingly dia kenal Hippo and Eagle..

Animals part 1

Animals Part 2
Sila cari TIGER(CAT) and SHARK(DOLPHIN)

I allocate dlm 10mins je pn ngan flash cards ni..n last few weeks almost everyday akan melepak n ddk n blaja...but skrg dh kurang sket masa..back to the books plk..sbb mama malas nk KEMAS flash cards lps tu...wakakaka...

So last but not least..enjoy with the videos..sorry kalau ada yang kena telengkan kepala..nanti bila dh betulkan i akan post it again.. :) *In Sha Allah*

Hippopotamus..

Their brains are forming and expanding fast, why waste time? No point giving then all this high tech milk with DHA hoping our children to be bright but we are not doing anything to stimulate their brain..

Try to show the cards everyday, make it like a playtime for them. Let them enjoy looking at the cards.. They will pick up very quickly.. insyaAllah..

Quoted from Dr Halina's post...yes kita as the parents kena stimulate their brain...10mins per day pn xpe..In Sha Allah...biarkan ada environment yang sihat utk mereka berminat utk belajar and something yang mereka berminat untuk bermain (more to the educational toys)...

p/s : bila read other mommies commented at Dr Halina's blog..rasa wahhh terernya anak2 drg...but its ok zuraida..slow slow... :D

Brainy Bunch Islamic Montessori & his 1st day at school

Their Playhouse section turned into sleep area after they have their lunch and shower...anak mama kena tido kt penjuru blek bawah aircond as advised by me since he has asthma..

top : during my visit before enroll him
Bottom : on his 1st day during lunch (left) and breakfast (right)...

 

Their play area can be their daily activities for learning ( reading,coloring and ect), perform prayers and also running during their freetime...hahahaha

his 1st day..

and for above, their playhouse (before turn into sleep area) is mainly for kids below 3..where they have block, globes, story books, puzzle and etc...and it will be the section where they can watch television which usually shows educational programmes..

i leave him on his 1st day while he is having fun reading books with the teacher...but bukan lari sorok2 ok..of coz dia salam n peluk tp nak nangis but when teacher continues reads the book..trus diam...

I called the teacher around 10am and the teacher said "surprisingly he didnt cry...just for a while looking for mama n babah"...lega hati mama dengar :)..but that was on his 1st day je..hehehe...

Left : before to school "jom mama"
After : muka happy x happy after school..hahaha

mama as stalker berjaya :D

So sbnrnya on his 1st day...he was not having his lunch alone..but he was the last one leaving the dining area...and bcoz he enjoying his lunch..but me n my mom were wondering..whether he really enjoyed his lunch or he doesnt know what to do next or he thought he has to finish all foods on his plate...hahaha

End of day 1 for me and hubby as a stalker parents..we sent him that morning and went to Festival City and  membuang masa kt kedai games..lumba kereta ngan hubby..hahaha...then went back to his school intai him having lunch..then went back home..buat  sket keje rumah..then by 2pm mengintai dia tido plus bborak with teachers on his progress...and then layan movie with hubby at wangsa walk...baru la fetch our lil boy by 6pm...

how the parents membuang masa while anak at school

Practice Makes Perfect

It's been 3 days...

Monday : Woke up early and still wore his sleepwear when arrived to the nursery. CRIED

Tuesday : Woke up earlier and managed to get shower before went to the nursery. CRIED once mama parked infront of the nursery

Wednesday : Mama managed to wake him up..and he didnt cry...get shower before went to the nursery...CRIED once I opened his door...

Basically..he cries..but no adegan tarik tudung or watsoever..still ok when the teachers took him from me...

So me n hubby n opah was wondering...nursery dah boring or he didnt enjoy staying there or what? But  by today or tommorrow..i will pay a visit to his future-nursery-aka-playschool....

Planned to enroll him this june (next 2 weeks)..and if teachers are ok with it, starting next wednesday kena train send him to the school la...let him familiar with the area, teachers, kids and activities. If within 3 days menangis melalak melampau..means he is not ready i guess...

If i stay at bukit jalil, by june mmg nak anta playschool...somewhere around taman desa. but since we are STILL staying at gombak..but mmg niat by june nak anta kan..so totap la anta..somewhere around gombak je...that school kt shoplot pn shoplot la...

Doakan yang the best for kami....anak tu amanah Allah..satu investment untuk masa depan kita juga..xsalah melabur and keluar duit lebey untuk pelajaran mereka..for those yang mampu...simpan kat bank pn apa guna kan.. :)

In Sha Allah...if everything ok..i will share the whole journey later..sedey jgk nak tinggalkan nursery skrg...sbb he's been there since he was 2months old..mcmana la nk bgtau drg ni yang next week will be his last week there...

and Babah is coming home next tuesday..anak 1st time nk masuk skolah..kena la ayah ada sama kan..

A big surprise for me : Last Saturday when mama started to read A B C...he managed to continue it..xla semua but more than 50%...as well Alif Ba Ta...maybe la dia hafal, kalau everytime nk tido layan utube benda tu kan..but its about time pergi belajar kenal sendiri mana Alif mana Ba mana Ta...and mana A mana B n mana C.....

Everytime kami travel...mesti akan belajar along the way tu..best kan..mama drive, and si kecik duduk belakang...sambil mulut ikut apa mama sebut..

And these days...me mula nk ajar dia supaya kurangkan kePELATan...example, Farouq instead of ayuq..tp bunyinya lastly jadi Parouq..ok la dari bunyi pelat kan..and few other words yang dia rajin sebut..usually i akan bercakap selalu la benda2 simple...and everytime tukarkan pampers smua..

Since mama pn xde masa sangat nk ajar farouq..so mmg patut mama invest some money untuk farouq go to school...we luv u!

p/s : nasib baik senang kejut si kecik ni...macam mama..panggil2 je dh leh bangun..kalau macam babah..goncang2 badan pn xtentu bangun..hahaha

Our activities on Hari Pekerja

Selamat Hari Pekerja semua *semalam*…

And to hubby..selamat bekerja la smlm ye…sian korg kena keje..and my BIL yang tgh wat legoland tu pn kena keje jgk..hehehe…berkorban je la apa saja.. J

So what me n my lil boy did yesterday…

We had breakfast at Thaqwa again…but we arrived pn dh kul 11..so harus la nasi lemak dh habis…si kecik dok sibuk nak rice rice..but I ordered 2 roti telur n 2 air suam..and he just ate it without asking about rice anymore!…hehehe..before keluar rumah..cuba teka dia mintak apa sbelum rice…”ma…iyan..”…n I was like..”ha?? durian?”..and dia mengangguk..mana nak cari durian farouq oit…mengarut je..then ckp “no durian”..baru dia cakap…”ok la…rice”…

After that we were heading to Midvalley…just pusing2 xde wat apa..makan pn x just bought some breads…Main reason sbb nk sggh MPH..wanted to buy flashcards to my lil boy as I mentioned here….

*i bought this colorful shirt from H&M sebenarnya nk pakai on his 2nd birthday celebration..konon2 nk wat rainbow theme la..tp tak bkesampaian..next time la ek farouq*

Tengok la semangat nya si kecik ni dikelilingi buku…lepas satu n satu dia amik..pandai kemas balik ok..then tjumpa buku yang ada car…omg…menangis nk kereta tu eventho mmg bawak few cars pn as his toys…boleh drama lak kt situ…ltk dlm stroller blk..pusing2 tgk some stuff toys then dia ok sket..hehehe…trus bayar and kasi dia milo sekotak…

Flashcards from MPH

Plan to start guna flashcards ni maybe next week kot..bagi mama tgk n familiar dl then baru kita start as aktiviti before tido ok....

Lps tu pusing2 tgk2 kedai baju budak..then made him milk..then dia tido ngan amannnya…n mama sambung pusing kejap..hehehe..and beli sebungkus roti gardenia…utk??? Petang punya aktiviti

Then pergi pick up baju kat tailor selayang (for company dinner on 17th May)…but singgah rumah semayang n tukar baju sikecik smua…arrived pn dh asar…then by 5 dh gerak for our evening aktiviti…

kami singgah ke Sentul Park, Koi Center….ni la plan yang ahad lepas nk buat tp si kecik ni ptg kul 5 baru tido so xjadi..n tu la guna nya beli roti…FISH FEEDING...

Yes…he was happy..coz he luvs fish n animals kan…so mulut bising la…

“mama…pish..”

“mama…totis *tortoise* ”

And me “farouq!!Catfish..” ye ada catfish yang besar…

  

Best?? Mmg BEST giler….at 1^st just brought along 4 slices of bread…then sekejapan je dah habis..so pergi dekat kereta n took another 4 slices…but farouq mcm biasa akan terkena jeritan mama…sebabnya dia koyak besar2 roti tu…hahaha…

”farouq..thats too big for the fish”

“owhh ok…like this eh mama” *sambil koyak kecik2 n kasi the rest of the bread to me”

Pastu kena marah lagi sbb excited campak besar2 lagi…..pfffttttt

And excited nk kasi makan kat kura-kura je..sbb ikan slalu makan roti dia kasi tu…

“totis..eat eat”…bila ikan amik roti tu sbb baling xtepat kt tortoise mula la wat muka…”totis…come eat eat”..then bila kura-kura tu dh pergi..”mama….gone”….

Because yesterday was my 1^st time there…agak cuak nak masuk…xtau nk hala kemana…dah la ada bangunan yang terbiar yang mmg saja or mmg xsiap ke apa pn xtaula…then ttiba nampak “The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre” and banyak kereta parking…dah mmg rasa dh sesat la…tp gagahi trus kan jgk ke depan…then nmpk kawasan parking and dh end of the road…so dengan slumber parking je..n bawak roti tu..siap2 buat susu utk farouq...

Bila ktrg jalan ke depan nampak tasik…n at 1^st ingat tasik saja2..then nampak orang duduk-duduk and campak2 something…n trus tgk2 n nmpk ikan yang banyak kt situ…hehehe…

Area situ pn sangat cozy…n banyak tmpt nk ddk nk campak roti tu….meaning mmg dibenarkn la feeding fishes tu smua..no worries..hehehe…and at 1^st I nampak mcm “eh kenapa la banyak dawai2 ni la”…tup2 bila nk balik baru perasan…benda tu adalah meja and kerusi ok…sangat kreatip la! Kerusi dawai and meja dawai…hehee…n kukuh ok! Don’t worry! Hahahhaa..

And by 6.30pm we arrived home..before that tapau bihun sup n nasi ayam..mama penat malas masak..opah n paksu balik kmpg…n si kecik makan ngan banyaknya (separuh bungkus)…plus roti vanilla sebungkus..

Till next time k…kita datang lagi farouq! but xyah la beli roti gardenia..membazir je kan..kita beli roti murah2 je..hehehe
