The children sure enjoy having a pc at home and should reduce their tv watching time....I hope.

Things have been pretty hectic these days. Since I started my new job a lot of training is required to familiarize with their new system as it will be use worldwide when we run live. Dari pagi sampai petang, training, training and more trainings. Dulu complain lack of training sekarang sampai nak termuntah pulak.

Things have been good these days. Praise to Allah. But sad to learn about Sufiah Yusof who unfortunately decide to explore the oldest profession in the world. Bukan pity but she is intelligent enough to decide of her future. Kita selalu harapkan anak2 kita membesar untuk jadi cerdik pandai...kalau boleh jadi genius. Tapi bila dah terlalu pandai macam ni pulak jadinya. Pressure to excel tu memang ada dalam semua orang especially parents yang dah berhabisan hantar anak sana sini belajar. Kita tak mahu mereka ketinggalan. As a parents personally I nak tengok anak2 I pandai and excel in what they do. Tapi tengokla budget pulak. Not everybody can afford extra education. Ada jugak parents yang tak hantar anak ke extra classes tapi pandai jugak! Entahla, maybe the expectation to compete is actually among the parents. But no doubt these days children experienced stiff competition to excel and the pressure is more on the parents, I think. Questions arise like,

Kenapa anak aku tak sepandai anak orang tu?
Kenapa anak aku malas?
Anak dia pandai. Pergi tuition, pergi music class, pergi sekolah agama.....Wow. How the the kid cope all?
And 1001 questions la.

Coming back to Sufiah, her mother claimed that she played along with her kids interest. Kalau ada yang minat membaca she teaches them to read and so forth. She said she never put any pressure on her kids. (Kalau kita agaknya terjerit2 and terpekik2 suruh anak2 buat homework.) I came across her side of the story from http://www.hyusof.com/ that she was the one who educated her children while her husband was in and out of prison due to morgage fraud. Since her children were way ahead of others at grammar schoold level, they find it bored and Halimaton decided to educate them at home. At the time she claimed there were no specific education system can accomodate to her children intelligence. They spent half and hour to an hour per day to do their school work. They play tennis as well. They grew up just like any other children and enjoy pop music a lot. I guess she wants to show that her children do have some balance in life.

Why she chose to become a prostitute,cuma dia sendiri yang tahu the real reason, but well she did mentioned yang she is been treated like a princess by her clients. I mean kalau pressure pun janganla sampai terjebak begitu sekali. Banyak lagi cara baik yang dia boleh buat. No doubt she’s got the body for the job but not the looks so much. I sendiri pun terpegun tengok bodynya yang cantik siut..........sexy. Meleleh jugakla. Tapi sincerely speaking she has to go back to her roots. Tapi who am I to jugde people I don’t even know.

Tapi how a genius is created only GOD knows. If you were born with that extra special capability is beyond our knowledge. But to 'produce' all five of your children geniuses.....I tak tahu nak cakap apa. Sungguh besar kurnian Tuhan kepada Halimaton. It is a very rare instance. Though her methods were not made clear I’m sure like to learn how she does it with lack of financial assistance.

I have a friend who sent her son to a Shichida Method school. Initial fee is RM2k and quaterly is RM1200.00. The purpose of this method is to utilize more of the right brain from a very young age. Masa baby in its mother’s womb is the best time to start to develop the kids mind. Sebab children bila dah umur 7-8 years old otak dia orang dah tak boleh di bentuk lagi. I read their book and just imagine budak umur 8 bulan dah boleh panggil “mama” . Ada pulak a kid who is satu setengah tahun sang to her mom a tune she heard in her mother’s womb. The lady claimed she never sang the tune eversince her daughter was born. When asked, the kid answered, “I heard my mom sang to me every night before she goes to sleep!” Isn’t it amazing?

A few tips for new parents melatih anak mereka menggunakan konsep otak kanan. You should know by now that otak kanan is more active in comparison to the left brain.

1) Ketika anak baru nak lelap, bisik di telinga dgn sepenuh hati yang kita sayangnya contoh, dia budak baik, dia anak soleh dan budak pandai.

2) Ajar dia flash card A-Z, insya Allah in a weeks’ time your kid is able to regconizes their alphabets and able to spell short words.

3) Encourage them to play with clay, water painting and paper design (origami perhaps). Eating with chopsticks is also a good hand activity untuk mengerakkan otak kanan.

4) Tell them a short story and allow them to continue. It doesn’t matter kalau cerita mereka merapu because its a technic to enhance the right brain activity.

5) Play riddles with them. Simpan sesuatu dalam kotak tisu dan minta anak teka whats inside. First you boleh bagi clue such as its color or shapes tapi lama kelamaan anak tu boleh
memgembangkan their six sense.

6) Cukup sekadar setengah jam utk buat latihan tadi kerana after the half an hour they will lose interest.

Insya Allah.

My daughter will turn 6 this July and according to her Kumon Center Principal, should she completes her current math syllabus by this June, she will be awarded a bronze medal for achieving Kumon International Standard. This means her current level is as good as a Primary one student. Isn’t it fantastic? All the sacrifice....time and money mostly, has materialized. I told her of the situation and somehow telling her she’ll receive a medal soon motivated her to do her homework. At times it worked for me.

Budak-budak sekarang ni lagi cerdik dari zaman kita dulu-dulu. Betul! My hubby tak bagi my son ( will turn 4 this May)makan KFC and he replied,”nanti Shakiel buang ayah ......”. His sentence was stopped after my hubby snapped back at him.

I berdoa dan berharap agar my children mendapat peluang sewajarnya dalam bidang yang mereka pilih di masa hadapan. We as parents will always be there for them and always there to guide but it is they themselves who make their future worth the while. Amin.

Adios amigos.

So you people out there, take care and see ya later alligator.

Betapa Pentingnya Seorang Wanita dalam Hidup Seorang Lelaki

Yesterday I received this from my hubby. It is such a good feature article and I enjoyed reading it. Tak tahu dari mana dia dapat but I hope the author wouldn't mind sharing it with others. Engjoy reading.



Betapa pentingnya seorang perempuan dalam hidup seorang lelaki......... DARI SEORANG LELAKI



Teringat pasal satu story...seorang lelaki balik rumah...dia jadi hairan giler..halaman rumah berselerak.. surat di peti pos tak berambil,anak- anak tengah main korek-korek tanah kotor, baju compang camping, penuh dengan tanah dan kotoran rambut tak bersikat, tak bermandi,;;; masuk ke pintu rumah, lagi lelaki tu terkejut..ruang tamu lagi teruk berselerak lelaki itu melaung nama isterinya... .sepi tiada jawapan masuk ke dapur..sinki penuh dengan pinggan mangkuk tidak berbasuh,periuk tidak bercuci. mencari apa yang boleh dimakan tetapi tiada makanan yang dimasak masuk ke bilik air, baju masih belum berbasuh,apatah lagi berendam lelaki itu cemas mencari isterinya..dia bergegas ke tingkat atas, melihat isterinya terbaring di atas katil sedang membaca buku.."awak sakit ke?"..tanya lelaki itu.. "tak lah", jawab isterinya ringkas "kenapa teruk sangat rumah kita hari ni", tanya si suami lagi sambil meletakkan tangan di dahi isterinya, kot-kot isterinya demam.. balas isterinya "wahai suamiku, semalam semasa kita bertengkar, abg mengatakan yang saya ini hanyalah seorang suri rumah, duduk di rumah tidak sepenat diri abg yang duduk di pejabat, dan abg sering menanyakan apa kerja yang saya lakukan di rumah yang menyebabkan saya merungut kepenatan kadang-kadang. ....NAH, HARI INI SAYA TIDAK MELAKUKAN KERJA-KERJA YANG BIASA SAYA LAKUKAN SETIAP HARI....... "



Wanita adalah insan istimewa, biarkan mereka terus membebel,merengek atau mengilai seperti pontianak . Seburuk-buruk perangai wanita, ia akan terus melekat di hati kita selagi hayat di kandung badan... Best baca sampai abis!!!. It's true. To share..Dari Ilham seorang lelaki.. As for me is different, if my wife is not at home, rumah boleh jadik porak peranda. Memang true, jika isteri ada dirumah, kepala slalupening.Pantang kalau isteri ada kat rumah and i'm off duty, sure at times boleh membuat kepala berserabut. Kalau madam takde kat rumah, alangkah tenteramnya hidup ini. Boleh buat apa yang kita suka. Boleh belengkar kat depan TV tanpa sebarang gangguan mental dah fizikal. Pendek kata,FreeeDoMmmmmla h!! But hairan bin ajaib, when dia betul-betul pergi meaning "She's Gone",aku pulak terasa separuh mati. Sehari dua memanglah shiookkkk, no one shouting from the kitchen for help, no one to komen this and that, no one to criticise. Everything will be smooth...



Tapi, masuk hari ketiga, I felt something is missing. Lebih-lebih lagi bila tuala mandi dah berbau 'assshheemmmm' , tak tahu mana nak carik yang baru. Colgate gigi dah abis,tak tahu kat mana dia stock up Air suam dah abis, malas nak boil...



Masuk hari ke-4, rindu mula terasa. Eventhough kat office, ramai yang cun melecun,wajahnya yang dah ditatap sejak tarikh bernikah itu juga yang mengetuk pintu hati. Memang lah dia tak se-cun SITI NURHALIZA but the smile yang ikhlas,forever melekat kat hati and sukar ada pengganti. Apabila rindu mencengkam, semuanya jadi tak tentu arah. Tengok TV citer best pun jadik tak best. Nasik bungkus faberite jadik tak faberite. Makan kat 5 star hotel jadik rasa cam makan kat kedai AA. Lebih-lebih lagi bila laundry basket dah makin bertimbun ngan baju kotor, fresh sluar dalam pun dah abis utk dipakai. Toilet dah mula licin berdaki...lantai dah berbelak, tak dimop...



Everynite, very the lonely, baring atas katil nengok ceiling blindly... bila lonely gini, baru lah rasa benar kesepian. Jangan kata sebulan atau setahun....belum seminggu isteri takde kat rumah, aku dah terasa separuh pengsan. Bila bersendirian begini,dan terasa malam begitu dingin, barulah kita sedar betapa pentingnya seorang wanita bernama isteri...begitulah isteri kita rasa bila kita tinggalkan dia sendiri malam2 agaknya ya..



So guys out there... jgn buli isteri kita. Kalau boleh, tolong dia buat kerja rumah. Bukan dok depan TV every weekend baca paper. Apa ingat dorang ni sumer kuli ke?! Maid ker?!! Kan dia tu bini kita, best fren kita,sweetheart kita... Ingat duit hantaran yang kita kasik dia masa nikah dulu cukup ker nak bayar gaji dia seumur hidup??!! And furthermore, kan sama2 keja carik rezeki, sama jugak lah buat keja rumah. Kadang2 bila poket kita sesak, tak ingat ker dialah orang yang paling terdekat kita nak kenyeng-kenyeng duit. Tak kesian ker nengok bini kita? Dah ler satu hari keja kat office, balik kena buat keja rumah lagi...penat tau!! Kalau aku lah diberi peluang jadik seorang wanita...tak rela!!! So to all mums and wives out there... life will be meaningless without you .



Finally my hubby finished it with,

I love u kutuk :*



Me: I love you back!

POK TEH

Yesterday there was death in the family. Dato Nasir was my hubby’s uncle and he passed away yesterday morning. Innalillahiwainnalillahirojiun……………It was a moment of reflection for me, how GOD gives and how later he takes back what is His. How fragile ones life can be. Semua itu adalah qada dan qadar ketentuan sejak azali lagi.

In fact baru malam semalam, my hubby tertanya-tanya macamana keadaan kesihatan Pok Teh. We last saw him during Hari Raya Puasa. He was hopitalized then.

I may not know Dato Nasir who was a teacher turned politician very well but I can see he is loved by his close-knit family. He was 81 years old. There were a small excerpts in the STAR paper and also by BERNAMA dated 26/2/08.



Former Melaka State Assembly Speaker Dies

Rajin pulok dah nih.....Dua posting ari ni je. Bukan apa excited gile punya dah dapat belajar camne nak post lagu ke dalam blog,.........so ada satu lagu ni dah lama i dapat and suka sangat dengor.

Kalau ada yang tahu cite sikit kat sini. Thanks.

My Funny Valentine


I know, I know Valentine's Day dah lepas! But I would just like to share my collections of all time favorite love songs.

Valentine’s Day to me is like kalau ada duit nak celebrate, celebrate la. Kalau pokai....,buat cara pokai. My Valentine's Day just came and passed by swiftly.

Me : Happy Valentine’s Day, ayah!
Hubby : Happy Valentine’s Day, mummy!


Hihihi, tu je la……..This year I gave my hubby a valentine’s card. When I read it at the shop I told myself this is hilirious. Must buy it!.Must buy it! I pun boleh imagine my hubby's reaction-he's gonna to have a heck of a laugh reading it. This is what written on the card,

When I bought this card for you
To show you my affection
I put it in the envelop
Then licked the sticky section

My tongue slid from right to left
And then from left to right
At first I licked it softly
Then I licked with all my might

I licked it really slowly
And I licked it quickly too
And every single second…I imagine it was you!

Trashy kan......kutuk, you live up to your reputation, hihihi.......



In return I received a key chain with an orchid embedded in the middle (the orchid has gone through a special foliage process to preserve the freshness of the flower). The flower was tastefully arrange to create a stunning range of lasting beauty. My hubby said, lagi best sebab bunga tu tak akan layu or mati sampai bila2. Ini kes nak jimat beli bunga untuk I forever.

However mana pun orang lain pertikaikan hari valentine’s ni, religiously or not……it’s up to the individual la. Ada yang kata haram sebab you meraikan hari St. Valentine kerana ini bukan ajaran atau berlandaskan ajaran Islam. Memang betul tu.

But for me hari ini bersamaan dengan hari PEMBAZIRAN. Tapi tak pa pembaziran yang boleh dimaafkan sebab mendatangkan manafaat kepada both parties. I scratch your back you scratch mine punya kes.

Well speaking from a woman point of view, hari kebesaran cam ni aweks definately aspect something cam bunga. Tipula kalau cakap,"....tak pa kalau u tak bagi pun tak pa...."Boleh blah!

  1. Bunga pun bunga ros. Ia melambangkan cinta....chey! Selalu warna merah la! Kalau setakat satu kuntum tak main la…mesti nak satu dozen. Hari tu bunga mau melambung RM10-RM12 sekuntum. Dah terbang RM120.


  2. Valentine's card is a must...bolehla feeling2 skit. (RM10-RM15 for a damn sexy card!)


  3. Pas tu kena beli hadiah. Cokelat tak main la……..takut gemuk! Hihihi....at least something in ‘gold’, music box ke, perfume ke, lingerie ke etc. (RM20-RM2k....hihihi mak oiiii mampus-ha nak sangat, ambik ko!)


  4. Pas tu nak bagi hadiah kena pulak bawak dinner. Dinner mesti la special sebab tak kan nak bawak ke kedai mamak atau kedai tom yam tepi jalan. Abok suit. Dah la dressing macam nak rak, mekap cun-cun and perfume berkati-kati, tak kan makan situ kot. Paling busuk pun Pizza Hut. Kalau pergi hotel jangan la cakap….Set dinner for 2 person pun beratus.

Brabis sakan....So kalau ada awek janganla memanjakan dia selalu nanti merana badan. Bila dah biasa dengan 1st class treatment....nanti depa expect over the moon ke, sky ke punya treatment. Bila dah kahwin semua tu dah tak matter lagi. Dah dapat, apa nak cakap lagi....mula la tak sayang i lagi la sebab u tak bagi I bunga,....kenapa tak macam dulu sebelum kahwin....., mula ungkit mengungkit.

I ingat cite orang dolu2, masa belum kahwin and berjalan berduaan si awek terlanggar batu then jatuh. Si pakwe akan memaki batu tu. Tetapi bila dah kahwin, si bini terlanggar batu and jatuh, bini kena maki pulak, " Oi buta ke dah tak nampak batu?". So pengajaran tu semuanya.

People always say if you want to show your undying love to someone be it your spouse, girl or boyfriend, you don’t actually have to express/show/wait only on Valentine’s day. Biar tiap-tiap hari tu Valentine's day. Lagi bagus kalau you keluarkan kata pujukan rayu tu. Tak adala boring sangat. Seram da......

But the problem with our society, not everyday we appreciate or show love to our partner. That is why celebrating a day such as Valentine’s tu ok jugak. Biar your partner berhabisan untuk menunjukkan kasih saying dia. Or just a suggestion, pick another day as your own Valentine’s day for both you and partner only to celebrate. Amacam? Doesn't have to be 14/2!

Obviously, as a women, I too want to be wine and dine, as per say. I am not an expensive person but I like my Valentine’s day to be a special one. Bare with me cause I want to share you my imaginary Valentine’s day. Ahaks!

Step 1 : Bangun je pagi dah ada Valentine’s card and satu rose next to my bed. Kalau ari cuti, lagi bagus kalau dapat breakfast in bed. Hihihi……Shakira will pujuk me for the rose. Ambik le!

Step 2 : Tengahari ada one bouquet of roses arrived atau hadiah delivered to the house or office depending where I am on that day. A phone call will follow. Jangan hantar chocolates atau doughnuts sebab nanti Shakiel belasah abis.

Step 3 : Getting ready to be wine and dine. Curi2 keluar so that the kids tak dengar both hubby and myself sneak out. Kalau dia orang tahu…..satu taman boleh dengar suara dia orang meraung.
Step 4 : Dinner will be at an itallian restaurant…ahaks! Oh maybe not. I imagine a cruise on Putrajaya Lake. Ala….cruise boat yang ada restaurant makan tu! Not an expensive person, am I? Who am I kidding?

Step 5 : Romance. Hihihi…..kat mana? Ada duit gi hotel je kalau tak kat bilik tido pun dah cukup bagus. Pasang CD tapi sekarang CD player dah rosak so pasang radio le. Dengarla sekali suara DJ masa make out. Telinga kena pasang sekali, kot kot nanti budak dua ekor tu nanti bangun and bursting into our bedroom while…..you know what……potong stim je la.

Anyway whether you wish or not wish to celebrate, terserahlah. Enjoy my collection of love songs.
