Mama Aina lapar lah...

It's almost a week since we started fasting in this holy month of Ramadhan. This year I had planned to get Aina to fast as well...at least for her to get a hang of it.....she is 5 and i think it is a perfect time to practice fasting.....

So here how it went...

Saturday (First Day) :
She woke up for Sahur with excitement...ate very little though, actualy she just had a bite of fried rice and a glass of orange juice. Guess she's not used to having a meal so early...heheh
By 10am,
We all woke up ...hehe (it's holiday ok)...
Aina : Mama nak minum...
Me : Ha!...Aina kan puasa...puasa cannot drink and eat anything sayang....
Aina : (With a sad face)....hummm...ok lah...
By 10.30am,
Aina : Mama Aina blom amik vitamin lagi...(bagi alasan nak makan lah tuh)
Me : Aina...vitamin pun tak bleh makan...lepas buka nanti baru aina amik 2 yer.....
Aina : Ala...(nearly crying)
Me : (Feeling pity....is she realy that hungry?...nevermind a bit more time..)
By 11.30am,
Aina : Mama ...Lapar lah Ma...Aina nak makan...uhuk...uhuk...(Crying slowly around me....far from her Dad...huhu
Me : (Decided to go slowly on her fasting practice....Sian sangat tengok anak sendiri merayu mintak makan....tak bleh tahan ok...) Oklah...ari ni Aina puasa half day yer...kol 12 Aina buka puasa...ok tak? Kejap lagiii jer...cuba tengok jam tuh...
Aina : Looking at the clock...and with a shining face...smile and noded....but still crying softly....
By 12pm,
She broke her fast with a slice of french toast..a drink and a sweets....(bukan banyak pun makan nyer... tak berbaloi bukak poser tau....)

Sunday (Second Day) :
This time Sahur, she didn't wanna wake up...(puas dah kejut..tak nak gak..) Looking at her sleeping very soundly, Abang said let her be.....
By 6am,
Suddenly she woke up after got disturbed by the sound of me doing dishes....
Aina : Mama tak kejutkan Aina sahur yer...
Me : (I thought she didn't wanna....so I tipu sunat kat dia) Tak lah...sekarang ni tengah sahurlah....Mama ngan Abah dah makan tadi....tunggu Aina jer...Aina nak makan aper?
Aina : Apa yang ader Ma?
Me : (Lauk dah habis sebenornyer...uhuk..) hmmm...ader bread, ader kek (kek gulung beli kat bazar ramadhan semalamnyer)...ader Quaker Oat...
Aina : Aina nak roti bakar lagi lah Ma..best sangat....(Memang dia suka sangat ngan roti bakar semenjak dua menjak nih)
Me : Ok...nanti Mama buatkan yer...(She consumed 3 slices of french toast that morning)
By 11am,
Started persuading me to let her break her fast....(kejap kejap bukak fridge..kejap kejap bukak fridge....tapi dia tak curik makan....tu yang bagusnyer...hehe)
This time I made up a plan for her and she agrees ....
The plan goes like this,
Me : Semalam Aina bukak puasa kol 12 kan...ari ni Aina buka pukul 1 plak nak....esok kat school Aina buka kol 2...pastu kol 3.....pastu kol 4 ....pastu kol 5...pastu kol 6...last sekali saaaampai Azan....kol 7....ok tak?
Aina : Okkkayy....(I said in my mind ..... nak makan punyer pasal.....okkay ajer!..)

Monday(Third Day),
Prepared Sardin and Telur Dadar...(sahur kitorang memang simple sangat...abang kater janji masuk perut dah...sebab abang memang tak bleh nak selera sangat makan pagi no nih....so senang banyaklah ...heehehe)
She ate quite much this time becoz Sardin is her favourite dish....feel a bit relief looking her eating more this time. Knowing that she won't feel hungry easily at school....since she'll only break her fast at 2pm...as per agreement...hehhe
I told the teacher about the plan but informed the teacher to let her eat if she realy hungry or looking weak....
That evening, as I fetched the children at school, she was outside playing (in my mind i said...ok she must have bukak puasa at 2 ....segar jer nampak)...Once inside the car I asked her..
Me : Aina puasa tak ari nih?
Aina : Puasa...Aina tak makan pun lagi....
Me : (Little shocked) Ha...naper tak makan lagi...kata nak bukak puasa kol 2...?
Aina : Aina tak nak makan...sebab belum Azan ...
Me : Aik...Aina tak lapar ker?
Aina : Tak lah....
Me : A bit disbelief...but proud ...
At home, she told her dad that she is fasting full day....Abang said...yer ker...macam tak caya jer....segor jer Abah nampak...
That evening she ate a whole lot during brake fast...I guess she really was fasting....I am so proud of her....

Tuesday(Fourth Day),
I asked the teacher how was she yesterday. The teacher said she really didn't wanna eat....she and another girl..her best friend Aisya. They always do everything together ....if one fast the other would fast too.....i guess this Aisya girl has becoming Aina's bff....hahaha...
So it went on Wednesday, Thursday and today (Friday).....all full day fasting...quite incredible isn't it....that's my girl...

At home during the weekend, i bet she'll fast according to the agreement .....i guess at home she cannot resist the sweets stock in the fridge....hehehe


Tengah sahur ...suka sangat french toast...isi kaya pun jadik...


Waktu berbuka....time paling heppy...tengoklah gayanyer tuh....energetic walaupun poser....adiknyer dapat potato chip ...khusyuk giler...tak pandang dah lauk lain


Buka ari tuh...Aina nasi lemak, Mamanyer laksa jer...(jaga badan..heheh)...abahnyer
nasi campur... yg lain tu biasa biasa jer...kuih muih, cendol...dan oh ya...kurma (Yusof Tayyoob)..hahaha...

Yatie Chomeyl's giveaway - Kisses of Love

Nowadays, has come across so many contests sponsored by generest bloggers out there. Really amazed by the creativity and the effort. Well done you all!!

This one contest sponsored by Ms. Yatie from yatiechomeyl.blogspot.com. Feeling called to enter the contest and share selected kissing photo between my beloved hubby and my little prince.

Well here's the thousand meaning kissing picture of my two heroes of all time.



Why I like the picture?

Well it goes like this,

Hubby just came back from office that evening feeling down due to terrible toothache. (Baru lepas cabut gigi kat klinik pagi tuh). So he couldn't talk much but frown much...huhu...as usual Miqhail, my son whom soon to be 2 years old will jump up from where ever he is and greet his father with words that no one can translate....

As the two resting on the sofa, hubby's gloomy mood turned to joy while he 'gomoi' his son. Miqhail was laughing his heart out when hubby tickled his body and gave a feel of his short beard at Miqhail's cheek and palms. Followed by a smeared loving kiss on the cheek.


It is MAGIC how our children could simply transform problems into happiness by just being around.

Well there you go, our little moment to be cherished the whole time.


P.s : Happy return to Malaysia to Ms. Yatie and her dear family
P.s.s : Happy Fasting Month to all Muslims.

Went back home town last weekend. There was a feast to welcome the coming holy month of Ramadhan. As usual I packed stuffs for me and the kids…abang….he normally packs his own clothings….hehee…thanks abang! …every time when it’s time to ‘balik kampung’…I would be the one to do the packing and trying really hard not to miss out anything… especially crucial stuffs like Miqhail’s milk and traveling kit…and to make things worse….I’m quite a forgetful person…huhuhu

Seperti biasa....Wan yang sungguh prihatin terhadap rambut cucunyer....mesti kena trim punyer....

Anyway, what I really wanna blog in this entry are the things that happened during my stay there….things that had struck me and things that kept me thinking….Read on…

She’s Sad I’m Sad
Aina was playing with her cousins which are older like 2 years. They were like having a make-believe class room and the teacher was asking the kids to draw and then colour the drawing. Once finished, the teacher would do the marking by giving points in the forms of Stars…. After which, the students submitted their drawings with all the colourings…From my spot, I could see that they’ve done a good job with all the colorful pictures. Aina drew a big wooden house complete with a wooden step ladder… It was nice and colourful….she happily passed the drawing to the so called small teacher…heheh…the teacher collected all the drawings and went somewhere to give marks…she tried carefully not to reveal the marks to the student just yet…..ala-ala kuiz la kot…

Aina was patiently waiting for her marks and wondering how many stars she’s gonna get….finally the teacher had completed the markings and passed back all the drawings to the students…while doing this, the teacher called out the names and the number of stars each students got…the number of stars ranging from 1 to 5….and Aina has got only 3 Stars…. I could see the dismay in her eyes and I felt her sadness for not getting 5 Stars. She didn’t show it to her cousins and just kept quite. But I as a mother just couldn’t let her feeling down like that….somehow I need to cheer her up and give back her self esteem and tell her that she’d done a great job. So I stepped in and pretended that I just saw her drawing….

Me : Wah….Aina ker yang lukis nih?
Aina : Haah….cantek tak ma?
Me : Canteknyer anak mama lukis….ader big house, ader sun, ader trees….hmmm…mama kasi 5 Bintang!
Aina : (Big smiled)….hmmm..Mama Aina nak 10 bleh tak ma?
Me : 10?…ok..Mama kasik 10 Bintang!
Aina : Wow…kita dapat 10 Bintang lah!!! Yeh..yeh..!!

I also complimented the rest of the kids coz they all earned it.

To my dearest Aina,
Mama couldn’t bare to see you sad. Mama will do everything in my power to make you happy the whole life thru becoz Mama loves you so very much. Always Remember That Honey.

A Split Second
I was buzy in the kitchen cooking with mother in law and ‘Biras’. The kids were playing in front of the TV and sometimes they went outside at the balcony. Abang busy collecting ‘kayu api’ for the feast that evening. I left the responsibility of looking after Miqhail to my 12 year old niece (the oldest among them). However every like 5 minutes I would glance through and look at him just to check his whereabouts and what he’s been doing.

Every now and then I would hear his voice shouting or crying or calling his sister. Most of the time, he would come and look for me in the kitchen….(selalunyer nak ngadu pasal ader orang sakat dia….or biler dia terantuk kat mana2…and I would pretend scolding the person and poke at any nearest object….then he would be satisfied and ran back inside heheh….boys…)

I always making sure that the front gates always closed…there are 3 gates all together and it can be opened by any of the kids. The kids are big enough to understand not to go to the street. They would just play at the front yard and sometimes at the back yard where most of grownups were preparing for the feast. I frequently remind them to close back the gate once they open it …

Whilst busy cutting the pumpkin, I realized that I haven’t heard his voice for quite sometime. The last time I checked on him, he was playing at the balcony with his oldest cousin like 2 minutes ago. I was quite sure that he must still be there playing. However I’ve got the feelings of uncertainty and needed to make sure if he really was there. So I put down the knife and walked to the front. Neither I saw him nor the cousin so I went further to the balcony. Panic stroke as soon as I saw one of the gate was opened. As I ran towards the gate, I saw Miqhail was heading towards the street. He was already outside the gate like 5 feet and I quickly called his name hoping that he would look back and stop.

He did look back but instead of stopping, he RAN ahead (dia ingat kita nak main kejar2 ngan dia agaknyer). Realizing that he won’t stop no matter how loud I called his name, I ran as fast as I could to catch him before he reach the road. I really didn’t manage to grab him as he entered the roadway and I thank god that there was no car at that point of time. Alhamdulillah sesangat…

Come to think of it, no matter how close we watch our kids, bad things still could happen if god willing. And the incident really struck me as a mom.

A piece of advice to all parents out there, follow your instincts, listen with your heart and be alert when leaving your child under the care of others. And the rest leave to Him….

A Trip To Aquaria

Date : 2nd August 2009 (Sunday)
Place : Aquaria KLCC

To some people this might sound a bit 'Out Dated'...hehhe...because Aquaria has already been opened since last couple of years (if i'm not mistaken) ...and you might have went there long time ago......

But to us it's our first time ever... How do we find it...?

Well...I might say it's a new experience to see those marine lives Live infront of our very own eyes...swimming freely above our heads like it's a nobody's business.... Frankly speaking I enjoyed it very much.... when we were in the cylinder, really felt like we were in a huge aquarium (I guess that's why they named it Aquaria....)

The kids....well Miqhail too small to understand ....Aina, a bit scared at first especially with the thunder storm sound effect when stepping down the stair case to enter the Aquaria...always clung to me that I had to walk slowly and explained to her that it was just a sound effect....and that there was no thunder storm outside....huhuhu....Girls...

To those who already went there....these pics could bring back memories....and to those who haven't....you might wanna plan for it after this...highly recommended for your weekend getaway...

Enjoy the pics...

All set..waiting for Abah to secure the house and start driving

Once reached KL, all parking lots near the KLCC were closed, there was a 'piket' the day before so I guess the police force was taking an extra precaution just in case......Consequently we had to park at Ampark Park and took a ride in the LRT to KLCC...It was a good thing also...heheh ...at least the kids would have a new experience riding in the LRT .... and to me and Abang we were like 'terimbau kenangan lalu....yer lah masa zaman tak der transport sendiri....dating pun naik LRT jer.....huhu'

At the LRT Station, heading to the subway

Aina asyik tanya jer...mana train ni ma?....dalam hati tak sabar sebenornyer nak tunjuk kat dia canner rupa LRT tu...mesti dia terkezut...yer lah....sefahaman dia ketapi dok atas landasan...and ader asap...ala..ala..citer 'Thomas and Friends' cuma tak der muka jer...kah..kah..kah

Miqhail biasalah...steady jer...macam dah biasa naik ....

Ni yang tak best nih...full house...terpakser ler berdiri...

Aina dengan posing faveret dia...

Ni on the way ke Aquaria...tak sangka lak Aquaria ngan KLCC is quite a walking distance...before this I thought it was in the same building....sangkaan ku meleset rupernyer.....
