It had been a long time that I sit and write something here.

Though people say not to stay up during ‘pantang’ period, because u shouldn’t strain ur eyes as the muscles are still weak due to the delivery effect on the nerves, here I am writing something to update this site.

I believe that I dont strain my eyes coz i got my sleep after maghrib just now and had my dinner @ 9pm…erk..don’t worry, I didn’t let my stomach empty. I know I really have to take care of my eating coz everything will affect my new cuttie princess… But, sometimes couldn’t really follow the schedule especially when u r tension..so, i changed it my mom knows me better…

so, tonite i’m announcing here on the safe arrival of my new member of the family… have to wait for Abi to declare the final decision on the name…so, i just make a post of her pictures for now.

She’s alhamdulillah very much good girl, not to have so much hassle to handle (yet maybe )… anyway, i REALLY believe that whatever given to everyone is THE BEST to capacity of the person. So, in my case, Allah knows that if she gives more test than what He gave me, i might not cope very well..So, thank you Allah…thank you Allah.

Pray for Allah’s blessings for my lil cute princess (with no name for the time being…)

I found this while surfing the net,

It helps to simplify our t-shirt folding chores.

I’ve tried it. It works. But haven’t tried with other kind of clothes.

p/s : Even husband can help to fold the shirts nicely before putting into the cupboard. A muslim house should have a neat surrounding though.

Sape mirip sape….

Lama sudah blog ini tidak dikemaskinikan dengan entri baru. Ini merupakan entri yang pertama bagi tahun ini. Banyak sebenarnya berita-berita baru yang hendak dikongsikan. Tapi bagi entri ini kita fokuskan dulu kepada tajuk di atas.Ya, Amaani dan Sofiyyah telah menempuh pengalaman baru menaiki kapalterbang. Semenjak Amaani melihat abi ke Bahrain dan Jeddah dengan menaiki kapalterbang pada tahun lalu dan juga tidak lupa ammu nya yang ke Mesir (study Medic), dia beria-ia sangat untuk menaiki ‘aeroplane’. Sebenarnya ini juga merupakan pengalaman ummi yang pertama.Untuk melihat bagaimana terujanya Amaani dan Sofiyyah melalui pengalaman istimewa ini, tonton video youtube yang ada dalam entri ini.

Info penerbangan:-

Kebetulan dapat tiket yang harganya RM0.00 (tidak termasuk cak perkhidmatan, cukai lapangan terbang dan caj bahanapi). Dua tiket dewasa dan satu tiket kanak-kanak. Sofiyyah kerana bawah 24bulan dikira sebagai ‘infant’ dan duduk dengan ummi. So semuanya ada 3 tempat duduk sahaja.

Dek kerana keletihan sangat selepas penat semalamnya dengan pilihanraya, terutama bagi Selangor, khasnya kawasan kami Shah Alam yang baru sahaja dapat di’tawan’ oleh rakyat, kami bangun ketika jam dah menunjukkan tepat 6 pagi. Padahal penerbangan pukul 7.55 pagi. Abiummi sahaja yang sempat mandi, Amaani dan Sofiyyah tukar baju sahaja. Dalam pukul 6.40 pagi selepas barang-barang dimasukkan ke dalam kereta, abi terus memecut ke LCCT. Akhirnya kami sampai dalam jam 7.20 pagi. Abi terus berlari ke kaunter untuk urusan daftar masuk (check-in). Cari punya cari, rupanya kaunter untuk ke JB telah ditutup. Tapi nasib baik adalagi staf di situ yang sedang menguruskan seorang penumpang yang juga lambat macam kami. Nasib baik barang tak banyak, dan dengan menggunakan kad pengenalan yang dilalukan ke sebuah alat, urusan ‘check-in’ selesai. Kami terus ke balai berlepas. Bilangan penumpang tidaklah berapa ramai dan tadi pun staf dikaunter memaklumkan yang kapalterbang tidak penuh. Sesiapa yang tidak pernah menaiki AirAsia, jangan pelik sekiranya nombor kerusi tidak diberikan, kerana anda bebas untuk memilih tempat duduk dengan syarat kena beratur di barisan hadapan. Kiranya “siapa cepat dia dapat”. Tapi kalau anda tidak mahu berebut-rebut, atau tidak mahu berkejar untuk beratur dihadapan apabila pengumuman masuk diumumkan, apa yang perlu anda lakukan adalah belanja lebih sedikit untuk mendapatkan “express boarding” (syafa’at) RM20 sahaja untuk penerbangan pergi balik atau RM10 unt kanak-kanak. Sesiapa yang ada syafa’at ini, akan dapat naik dahulu, mendahului semua penumpang lain. Ianya memang sesuai jika ada anak-anak kecil macam kami ni.

Lagi satu kelainan AirAsia adalah makanan dalam penerbangan kena dibeli dan tidak diberi secara percuma. Nama pun tambang murah kan! Tapi abi dah siap-siap beli satu sandwich untuk Amaani dan Sofiyyah kalau-kalau mereka lapar. Sebenarnya abi dan ummi pun lapar jugak sebab tak sempat sarapan tadi.

Dalam kapalterbang, Amaani duduk sebelah abi dan Sofiyyah dengan ummi. Oleh kerana tempat duduknya 3-3 maka abi dengan Amaani duduk sebelah kiri dan ummi dan Sofiyyah duduk sebelah kanan. Amaani seronok dapat duduk sebelah jendela. Bahagian yang paling dia tak suka adalah waktu kena pakai tali pinggang. Bila pakai, dia terpaksa duduk dan tak nampak pemandangan luar di jendela. Terpaksalah beberapa kali pujuk dia untuk duduk sementara menunggu isyarat memakai tali pinggang dipadamkan. Sofiyyah pun apa kurangnya, dia dapat tempat duduk tapi asyik nak diri dan duduk bawah. Tapi akhirnya terlelap juga… Amaani ni jenisnya mana boleh duduk diam, jadi kenalah layan, cakap-cakap dengan dia, baca majalah yang ada di tempat duduk dengan dia. Kalau tidak mulalah dia nak susu, nak pergi kat ummi, nak itu dan ini. Alhamdulillah penerbangan hanya dalam 45 minit sahaja. Kalau lama mahu pening mencari idea melayan Amaani. Sebaiknya kalau perjalanan jauh, bawa buku kalau anak kita suka baca buku, mainan atau apa sahaja yang boeh dijadikan aktiviti sementara nak menunggu mereka terlelap

Nowadays people talk about career; what career you want to establish; how to achieve your dream career, and etc. Some woman not even think of marriage before they successfully establish their careers.

Everyone has their own choice of what to achieve in their life. But for me myself, now i am a wife and a mother to two toddlers. What is the best carrier for a woman like me? Home manager? Accountant? Teacher? Businesswoman?

When ummi meet businesswomen like ummi’s mother’s friend, almost all will advise on working, including ummi’s Mama.

What do you think?

The conflict of being a home-mother and a career-mother always fighting within me. At time, I feel guilty towards my little princesses.

These were our conversation with Amaani; my first daughter :

Ummi: “Ummi keje boleh?”(Can Ummi work?)

Amaani : “Ummi umah, Abi keje.” (Ummi at home, Abi go to work)

Abi : “Ummi nak buat ape kat umah” (What will Ummi do at home?)

Amaani : “Ummi tido”(Ummi sleep)…

hehe… if ever Ummi sleeps, she’ll be satisfied enough… as long as she can be with Ummi. Children are really honest!!

to be continued…

p/s : When I started to write on this topic, I remembered asking Abi for his opinion on a woman being a corporate lady. I’ll share it out with all of you so that it benefits all in the next entry.

And a short update.

Now Amaani is going to school. We don’t even have time to post it here. But she really enjoys school…yep..one of my senior staff said: “Isn’t it too early to send your daughter to school? She will have another 20 years to go…” I know that the 20 years will be coming down the line…but I have different opinion on going to school early. I myself was enrolled to standard 1 when I was 6 years old. There were 6 of us (Me, Dr. Elhuda, Miss Bash, Naimah, Ustazah Sri Wahyu, Miss Asma’) having the same condition; being the special girls to take SPRA (Sijil Penilaian Rendah Agama-can’t remember the old name during our time…Sijil what eh?) when we were already in Form 1 Secondary School-we were supposed to sit for the Exam in Standard 6 but were not qualified because we were 11 years old

Girls! Do u remember that 1 month intensive we’d gone thru before the exam? Sitting under the table in the school library to read the books, learning to write khat during the 1 month period, etc… Memories make me happy

Anyway, I’m flexible in my principle. If Amaani seems to be not well responding to school, I bet she have to stay at home with her Wan… The most important thing is that she likes what she is doing and I’m suppose to teach her that learning is not only in school. ok, take care to all…Allah Haafiz, wassalam

Alhamdulillah digerakkan hati untuk menulis di blog ni.

Sedikit perkembangan kami untuk dikongsi dengan pengunjung blog abiummi.

1. Ummi dah mula bekerja pertengahan bulan Julai lalu. Mungkin salah satu alasan yang boleh digunakan sekiranya orang bertanya kenapa tiada entri baru!

2. Amaani jika ditanya, “Boleh tak ummi kerja?” Jawabnya secara spontan “Tak boleh!” hehe…

3. Sofiyyah akan cukup setahun ahad ini 9.9.2007 sama dengan birthday Paklang Izz. Tak sampai setahun dah boleh berjalan anak abi ni. Gigi pun dah banyak, pandai makan nasi dan tidak memilih. Antara tempat kegemaran, tangga, plug dan dapur. p/s: Ummi pun baru lepas birthday… hehehe tapi abi terlupa lepas sehari baru teringat!!

4. Amaani baru-baru ini dapat melihat ‘aeroplane’ dengan lebih dekat semasa menghantar ammu di KLIA ke Mesir buat Medic pada pagi 31 Ogos. Asyik minta nak naik aeroplane!!

5. Amaani sekarang dah pandai berwudhu’. Pantang tengok abi nak wudhu’ jer… mesti dia pun nak wudhu’ sekali. Sofiyyah pun nampak nak ikut sekali.

6. Antara doa-doa yang biasa abi dan ummi biasakan dengan Amaani dan Sofiyyah, doa kenderaan, doa tidur, basmalah. Kalau dengar azan dia pun pandai suruh diam dan lepas azan nanti dia akan angkat tangan doa.

6. InsyaAllah Ramadhan seminggu lagi! Nak kena fikirkan sesuatu untuk anak-anak abi.

Allahumma ballighna ramadhan!

Latest on her vocab development is that she can construct sentences on her own. But still the words mentioned is not as clear as an adult speakings. Ummi notices that she hasn’t master yet few words of ABC that involve fine touch of the lips, teeth and tounge.

Letter k sounds t

Letter c sounds chi

Letter w sounds … ( ummi don’t know )

While for a word of 2 syllables and involve certain letters that she can’t pronounce well yet, it may differ with the exact word pronounciation.

Example:

Word ‘pandai’ will sound as ‘panai’ or if ummi teach her slowly by one syllable after the other, it will sound as pan..nyai…or “paa dai” either one of the letters “n” or “d” will disappear from the word…hahaha…that’s the everyday medicine for ummi, to laugh over her unclear pronounciation. At first, as a perfectionist mother, I felt disappointed when she can’t really follow the slow pronounciation ummi taught. But as time passes, ummi knows that she is learning and is progressing well. So, ummi take it slowly for her, stage by stage and let her take her own time. Now ummi don’t pushes her to talk or do anything. And the result is a more relaxing relationship between us…

p/s: One of ummi’s freind asks ummi on Amaani’s current progres, and I said that : “Dah boleh borak2…”

For your information and action. Any queries, please feel free to contact the mentioned person.

For the passed few months, Amaani and Sofiyyah alternately accompanied ummi for meetings with the programme committee. Kecik2 lagi dah pegi meeting. Ummi was fortunate because, both of them were very good during the meetings; they either got slept, or play peacefully next to ummi… But, one thing in common for both of these ‘little committees’ were that they must go to grandaunt Norli’s toilet ;)…

Now, Ummi is thinking about the big day of this program… can these two sweet girls go with me? or where should ummi leave them to…(since abi had been provided with seat in the program for being supportive to his partner…hehe..almost every week have to send ummi & the princesses to wan’s house for evening meetings)
