car boot junkie..

car booting..

a weekly event for us..zaki memang kaki car boot..

sebut denham, kilburn, walton on thames, farnborough, ascott, chiswick, redbourne

merata and tah mana2 lagi..

a photo holder, sangat suka..

a good therapy, mind and physical..mind- sebab seronok sangat tengok barang2 yang harga main pee-pee je

physical, kalau satu lane 500 m lah katakan..kalau dia bukak 10 row..so?kalikan je lah..

dah berapa jauh and berapa langkah anda berjalan?

and good for your eyes too!( therapy mata)..ya..mata harus tajam..tahap focus, zoom and macro anda kena berada pada tahap paling maksima untuk mendapat barangan yang best..sebab, seller suka letak display sepah2..so deria mata kena sharp untuk scout bargain yang best..you lambat je..barang yang best kena rembat.

and make sure bring small change banyak2..if bawa £5 dlm pence..kalau satu item 10p..berapa item dah boleh beli daaa?? kalikanlah lagi sekali..

and bawa lah tesco fairtrade recycle bag big edition untuk isi segala barang shopping anda..or you rasa barang shopping you lagi banyak kalah barang shopping dari primark..you can bring ikea shopping bag kaler biru( di uk)..or (yellow) di malaysia..kalau nak shopping satu car boot pun boleh..tapi bawalah trolley untuk memudahkan pergerakan dan perjalanan barangan anda..(mcm sesetengah family melayu kita di sini)

(ps- taulah malaysian when it comes to shopping!!..from high street to car boot..asalkan shopping kalau tak ghabak or tekeluar tulang bahu nak mengangkut bukan malaysian lah namanya,.ape lagi kalau barangan murah!)

i must say almost 60% my kids nye baju comes from pre-loved item..dekat sini kalau nak shopping betul2 lagilah parah..ada 4 season..masuk sejuk kena tukar lain..autumn..summer and spring..berapa banyak kali nak tukar..so darablah lagi, sebab i kena fikir untuk 5 anak i..kalau i beli mahal, pakai sampai lebam..oklah..ini..kejap2 nak kena tukar..and kids pulak..sekejap je dah besar..pakai tak sampai 4-5 months kena change..from top to toe..pengsanlah i and botaklah papa zaki..( yang sememangnya dah botak licin cause i baru shave kasi licin last week ).

oklah..have to go tolong aishah with her school work..have you ever heard Handa's Surprise?..dulu2 kita hansel and gretel, red riding, gingerbread man etc..now handa? originally story ni from kenya..i tak taulah..sesama pulak kena buat homework with kakak ni..tak pasal kena online study sekali...rasanya i dah layak jadi cikgu nursery/reception if balik malaysia..sebab every week kena sit and learn with aishah and her reception work..
daaa..

thats Ashley-Mae, her best friend..

ps- sini mak bapak tak boleh malas..every week kena submit report and what we do with our kids, then anak kena tanya balik kat school..kantoilah if tak ajar anak..homework bukan everyday..but seminggu sekali (receive friday due tuesday-lain sekolah lain hari)..by repetition..so budak tak kelam kabut and cepat lupa..

the real Ashley -Mae..she's so petite!

saturday..mak nak relax..by sunday, mak dah kelam kabut..sebab? mak sibuk nak jalan tapi homework anak belum tengok.Every wednesday, anak ada spelling test (wajib) if anak tak lepas nanti teacher question..kesimpulan, mak bapak is part of the learning system, so jangan malas mama D!!!..ketiadaan papa yang sibuk mencari nafkah menyebabkan mak menjadi agak mental menjelang hari minggu kerana banyak tanggungjawab perlu dijelaskan. -n-

again, not about car boot after all, saya suka lari topic..selagi boleh membebel :))

-D-

3 weeks to go..

still no answer from the home office..

visa masuk since April..ingat everything was ok..(sebab biometric enrolment dah lepas)

but until now..hujung bucu passport pun tak nampak..

beginning to feel harapan balik amat tipis..

minus sunday tinggal 19 days mengharap passport sampai..

hubby cakap..its ok..tunggu 2 days before flight baru cancel ticket..

(if still no kelibat)

frust sangat..but still mengharap..

takutkan if we cancel early, like next week..a day after, passport sampai?

nyesal tak sudah cause dah let go ticket..kan?

cakap with mom..arghh..poor mom..nyesal habaq dia awal2..sebab tau if visa tak dapat kan lemah..

i feel her sadness bila bagitau berita tak best ni..

3 years tak jejak tanah malaya...but baru 1 year lebih tak jumpa mom (she came in dec 2007-jan 2008)

But yes, mom dah tua..tak larat nak travel lagi. And whats more, my FIL dah tinggal sorang kat Kampung..since my MIL pass away..tanya sekarang siapa teman kat kampung..he said dia kawan dengan kucing 3 ekor..use to be belaan arwah my MIL..sayang sangat kat depa bertiga ni..sampai demam kasi panadol and letak dalam blankie..kesian bapak..

arghhh..dont give up..teruskan tido di tepi lubang post anda..hoping for a miracle before the 17th!!

all about hayy..

entry kali ni is all about my baby hayy..

alah..not so baby anymorelah..dah bau tengik pon..bucukk..masham sangat!

the most nakal, cheekiest, nottiest amongst all..

dapat kaki pun cepat..9 month dah start jalan, mana la tak tekejar i dengan dia ni..by 11 month dah lari2 you!

tak tercakap lagi dah. Umur baru setahun sebulan..tapi since dia banyak belajar ilmu dunia from 3 sifu- sifu alam, sifu langit dan sifu cakerawala..

so power dia berganda lagi dari abang abang dia yang lain.

yes..pasti tertanya tanya how do i manage to handle 4 boys (minus kakak la..dia girl, so nakal dia ke arah menjahanamkan make up mummy dia).Answer dia..you don't jaga them, you just play along with them..bukanlah i ikut sekali panjat panjat and melompat main tembak tembak gitu ke apa..

i just monitor them as long as they know whats right and whats not..jatuh ke, sakit ke is part of the growing process..

(contoh nursery kat sini, 3-4 yrs old dah kena expose how to handle things in the kitchen, siap ada kelas masak.. to hold knife, scissors, stapler,..computer class, how to search websites,print pictures etc..yang best tu how to DIY..dekat outdoor play area ada real tukul, real saw, real PAKU!..dan real segalanya..but all dibuat dalam bentuk ketot so budak2 ni easy to handle)

Never say 'no' when they are doing something..itu learning process namanya, macam kita takutkan anak terluka ke apa ke..sikit2 risau..but here..if terpotong ke apa..teacher will report the incident to you and suruh kita sign in the report book.And of course they will treat the luka lah.

So, i pun praktikkan the knowledge i dapat from the nursery to my everyday life..

its not easy to monitor 4 little boys you know..

and alhamdulillah, they are now easier to handle..despite being boys la kan..masih notty notty, tapi dalam keadaan terkawal dan berhemat..hehe..

my 2 yrs old zach even know how to handle with scissor all by himself..

ya itu dia...my way..lepas nakal2 kecahkan bilik teruk teruk kenalah u all mengemas..'tidy up time' namanya, kalau 20 kali main, 20 kali sepah, 20 kali mamanya mengemas, mati la mamanya.belum masuk housework mama lain2 lagi! and sape rajin can get treat from mama-stickers, sweets, keropok lekor..wtf??

STUDY and BASIC KNOWLEDGE- very important for them before nursery year starts and after

• sing songs to them, nursery songs la..bukan kerispatih. ungu..sebagainya..(songs stimulate minds, especially otak budak yang menyerap segalanya umpama sponge)
• read to them, best time is night time..before tido.
• introduce them to IT, sangat penting..jangan marah and risaukan komputer/laptop/netbook rosak!.If marah2 will put them off, rasa tak safe nak pakai (takut mama marah nanti) komputer beribu ringgit rosak. if you notice, mula2 baby you pegang mouse, pastu try to tekan2 keyboard..click the mouse, on the cpu and monitor..if u let them to continue..lama2 anak you akan terrer dengan sendirinya.introduce them to internet not games ya-coz games buatkan budak leka and malas belajar! ( banyak interesting sites for children nowadays etc cbbc.co.uk ) this sites will teach children how to learn through play..
• lastly, jaga hati and perasaan anak, a healthy heart will stimulate body and soul..mcm nilah..bagila anak sebanyak kebahagiaan yang boleh. Jangan gaduh laki bini,masam2 muka depan anak..nak marah2 pegilah lepas kat kucing ke, jiran sebelah rumah atau pasaraya berdekatan anda. Give reward for your childs effort, bukanlah nak kena bagi hadiah selalu..kopak babe, means..give them big hugs, kisses and praise them.

-Hoh!!-! tu dia!..entry dah lari topik sebenarnya..its not all about hayy after all! hehe..

This is just a teeny weeny part of it..banyak lagi as it goes along the way..yang akan cik kiah kongsikan bersama pada lain hari :)

As for Hayy? tengoklah dia buat apa..mmm..

when mama sebut2 hayy, dia datang mcm kucing 'meow-meoww'

mari kita tanam tok guru dengan bantal bantal ni...

mari kita turun pula..

dan jatuhkan beg mama..yeahaaa..!

(mama: arghhhh!!!..my bradley bag..!!)

ok..enuff. Mama dah menyinga, bulu dah panjang.. taring dah keluar..

mari kita kembangkan hidung dan berkepak ke arah mama..

gimik i jadi kan ma..actually i nak sepahkan toys pulak..nyet! nyet!

Nite nite everyone, hope you enjoy watching me! :)

KFC! yay!

malam ini we dinner KFC, walaupun saya dah masak seafood paprik, bayam air, sambal belacan bercicahkan ulam... ..tolak dulu,

maklumlah, jakun dah lama tak dapat melapah daging ayam KFC.

Terima kasih encik zaki kerana menaja makanan kami pada malam ini.

3 kali sorak pengakap untuk en zaki kita..hip hip--HUURAYYY!!

maaf, belum ada snap shot aksi kami melapah daging ayam dengan rakus..

sebab....

AYAM TAK SAMPAI LAGI.....

hehehee... :P

:UPDATES:

• ayam belum tiba
• zaki lambat sangat
• gonna watch 'the smallest teen in the world' ..she's only 23 1/2 inch, her voice sebijik chipmunk tanpa perlu diedit, sangat comel!

amalan harian

::buka tingkap seluas luasnya dan menguap::

ps- sampaikan penumpang tube belakang rumah terkejut melihat aksi ghairah anda.

tidaklah menguap sepanjang masa, lebih afdal jika diselang selikan dengan selawat syukur dapat melihat matahari terbit untuk mulakan hari yang penuh cabaran :)

ps- kata org tua, biar rezeki masuk.

::amalkan mandi pagi..er..bukan pukul 11,12,1,2 atau tak mandi lansung, walaupun pada musim sejuk yang amat::

aktiviti ini memang kami cukup jaga, sampai suami sanggup kejut anak2 tidur bagi mandi dulu.

pantang dia kalau orang mandi lambat, hubby mcm lelaki melayu terakhir, cara dia cara kampung..ikutkan memang elok diamal..otak cargas, badan sihat..ada jugak sangkut paut dengan rezeki. So jumlah family i keluar masuk toilet is ampat

belas khali (bertujuh dikalikan 2x mandi sehari) tak termasuk ke toilet untuk aktiviti2 sambilan :)

::eat banana everyday::

madsaleh kata 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

i eat pisang..pisang..pisang!! It keeps me on my toes everyday.

laki cakap udahla tu makan pisang, dah macam monyet dah..wahahah..dikatanya kita monyet..if bininya monyet?dia?Pasti bapak monyet rite?

ps- mostly tips from my SIL, orang lama, so harus banyak petua hidup.Tak tau pun dulu2. Tapi i terus amalkan.alhamdulillah, hidup akan bahagia :)

so random pics,

:aksi wanita bibir tebal from zach:

tensionyaaaa...

frm left, shan-baby hayy-at the back, wawa n danish,..aishah

::UPDATE::

yang best;

• sayang aishah was awarded for her achivement in school/class. 'The Headteacher Commendation' badge. Bangga tak bangga kita semua :) before, her class teacher always puji and said she'd done pretty well in school, an all rounder girl, ingat teacher memain. Sekali terus kena acknowledge.happy,happy! (here they just give it to the parents,no hari penyampaian hadiah whatsoever, and no ranking system 1to 30 la..1 to 35 etc..survey said that students/parents can easily be in a depress situation if their child receive position in class..psikologi la, so that students & parents tak tertekan) only tenaga pengajar will know the students capability in school/class. very british..sebab kat sini orang rajin saman menyaman ni..tertekan je nak saman..byk tul duit upah lawyer nak saman orang!human rite kononnya.
• shan's application for primary and danish (nursery) was successful, amin...
• our bekonscot trip, a short trip..but a fun place to visit :)
• hati girang nak balik malaysia!
  

tak best;

• hayy jatuh katil tehentak hidung, sila lihat caption di atas.dahla hidung nya yg comel betambah comel. nasib tak patah tulang hidung. The impact was harsh. :(
  
• hidup bosan sebab tiap hari hujan.nak menyangkol pun payah.
  
• kita nak balik, tapi visa tak dapat lagi..amacam? gila ke babe?ticket dah issue.huwaaaa! time to minta super mama sofiah in maluri for sembahyang hajat, doa mak..moga dapat berkat di sini.
  
• UB funkey usb not functioning, arghh! tensi, tensi,..bilalah i dapat bejuang ngan belia belia 4B ni.so hillariously cute!
• today, tube strike for 48 hours (takde kena mengena pun hidup ngan tube ni) eh ada! jalan ketapi blakang rumah lengang habis..takde bunyi..gedek..gedek..gedek..gedek..bilik tak gegar2..so life and otak takde gegaran for the next 48 hours.
• dengar cerita tak elok pasal orang,laki selalu pesan (diapun tak suka cakap keburukan orang,walaupun sometimes tekena ngan orang) 'jangan suka sibuk tepi kain orang, u have more than enough kain already..jagalah kain2 tu' maknunyu (razip?) if i dengar cerita tak best 'tentang seseorang' jangan cuba provoke lagi keadaan n make it worse. tapi my best mate in uk (u know who u are) akan jadi mangsa i, sebab sama2 faham situasi. by end of the day, cerita tak best we just keep it sealed.dijamin sirim.yang tau hanya i dan polan :) kan? ps: adat dunia, sebolehnya elak dari menjadi halwa telinga, if terdengar, buat diam n jangan gemburkan suasana. hubby selalu cakap 'benda macam ni boleh jadi penyakit', which i truly agreed.

ps- hidup kita pun tak sempurna, baik jaga family sendiri dari sibukkan hal orang.

-D-

IT'S BEEN........

AGESSSSSSSSSS...don't you think?

penat menebas-mengipas-memvacum habok, sawang dan lalang..

fuhhhhhhhhhh..

to all my fans (eh?ada ke..?mmm..)

terima kasih sebab tak habis bertanyakan blog saya ini,

sampai ke satu tahap dah fed up dengan pertanyaan pertanyaan (chewah!!) bagaimana nak conceive anak? :)

how the hell am i suppose to answer that?

::rezeki dan ketentuan di tangan tuhan::

think happy and always stay positive, pasti dapat anak berderek derek umpama rabbit macam i.

lepas girl, dapat pipi labuh..then dapat telinga capang..budak gemok..last..budak gemok the 2nd.so how?

Jangan fikir 'Ish..susah la anak ramai2 ni'..one will always think..'takut income tak cukup'

believe me dear, we were at that state before..but hey?! still survive till now, alhamdulillah makan minum semua cukup.

Like orang tua2 cakap, 'Rezaki Anak'...i always reflect that phrase from time to time, syukur, rezeki kami tak pernah putus.

till then, nite2 my lovely readers..muahss!!

ps: jika ada sebarang soalan mengenai ilmu menjaga anak maupun kemahiran hidup II, drop me a comment :)
