Education week : raising boys and girls

Ahaks..dalam sibuk-sibuk kemas dan packing barang, masih ada lagi ruang untuk berblog. Came to idea wriiting this topic after my playgroup mate across to this question" how do you raise your boys and girls?" Urmm..interesting, since I've got 4 boys and a girl, would like to now what is the best tips on raising boys and girls.

We all came out with a few idea but share the same opinion. Raising boys and girls diffrently, but equally, is not always easy.These are a few ideas that I manage to collect from our playgroup discussion( worth it tau bayar $1 untuk satu session)

Girls
- Emphasise intelligence, hard work, independence, sensitivity, and preservance in your daughter. We should encourage them in "dressing up" and tell them they are beautiful but de-emphasise the important of apprearance in relation to their value
(I've started it slowly with my daughter about this and she's seems like it)
-Encourage our daughterto achieve. Set high expectations for our daughter as for our sons
(We always told this to our daughter as well to our sons, and she's improving now. Before this is
- Encorage our daughter to read stories about succesful women.(My daughter really like to read about Queen Elizabeth..consider succesful la kan )

Our babies all grown UP! Please don't grow up too fast :)

This young lad always make a smile to my face. he looks happy in school, entering to 3 weeks, i can leave him at school alone.He looks so happy at school and already know how to manage himself. Legaaaaa mak ini.


He talks a lot and also makes a lot of drama. Our young lad is 6 yo this year and next year he going to enter primary school. Hopefully he can do well in school and I already fell the emptiness in the house.

Our first-born already grown up..soon she gonna sit for her SPM exam, our second-born lives in the hostel far away from us, third born also will be in secondary school next year. gosh! all my babies are grown up,how time flies so fast...Your smile, which you freely give to so many people, leaves them smiling too.You guys bring laughter to this family every day. You all are so beautiful and perfect, so absolutely amazing.Anyway, regardless if you're all grown up, you will always be my baby.


Master #5 Went To School



Heehehe...unusual moment for me. I decide to send my master#5 to school because he is so tangling with me. I'm afraid when the time arrive to send him  to school, I'm gonna have BIG, big trouble.

The moment of shopping, he was so excited. choosing his school shoes, shirts and pants. For awhile I was so relief. The day arrived and as I expected, he won't let me go. I had to stay with him at SCHOOL for about 4 hours! can you image that!

First day of school , he whatsapping his Ayah. I keep his msg because it is so funny and sweet. We never send him to any kindergarten before this yet he can read fluently by himself( only in BI)..sighhh.. I want him to go and learn like other normal kids..

Begging to his Ayah to back home early!this young lad really make my day..hahahhaha

Frozen karipap

:)

Sejak tinggal di Christchurch dulu lagi, kita dah mula bisnes kecil-kecilan karipap beku;). bila balik malaysia, beberapa tahun selepas tu baru datang ilham nak buat balik.


Sebelum Ramadhan baru-baru ni, dek kerana terlalu rindu dengan memori Lincoln, maka kita buat balik karipap ini. Niat yang ditangguh dari sehari ke sehari akhirnya terjadi bila ada permintaan dari SIL kami. Ujarnya" kalau nak buat karipap, buatkan untuk akak sikit ek"..Mula dari situ tangan tiba-tiba gatal p upload di FB,..Alhamdullilah tak sangka permintaan agak tinggi.

Jadi bermulala episod membuat karipap frozen untuk dijual. mula-mula produk tidak begitu memuaskan, selepas R&D yang entah ke berapa kali..kini karipap frozen kami semakin bertambah baik...
so uolls kalau nak order karipap frozen untuk kudap-kudap bolehla Pm kita tepi-tepi :)hihihih

Nah belanja gambar karipapa satu!

RM4/10 biji
Inti kentang/daging/ayam

Be ever grateful to Allah for everything that you possess including your wealth, health, status, intellectual abilities and life. Allah says:

Salam Aidilfitri buat semua!

I'm still here..it's my laziness! Kadang-kadang blogging ni macam hate and love relationship :)

Beginning of this year, we've been travelling a lot. From East to South..back and forth. Our second-born get an offered from Sekolah Seni Malaysia Johor Bahru. After a long discussion, we decided that Abang should have a try embark the journey at JB.

It feel surreal, and I'm having a mix feelings about leaving him thousand miles from us. I know he'll be okay. The first few weeks was really tough!. he keep calling and crying, asking to be transfer back but after the pujuk-pujukan, he calm back.

Our life after that change totally. Every school holidays or any holidays, we will travel from East up to South to pick him up and will stop by at Kajang for temporarily nesting. Ayah really looks exhausted but because of anak's dream, I think he got inspired. i feel sorry for him but at the same time the proud expression from him appeared.

We moved back to Selangor after that. So hai-hai, bye-bye to Kota Bharu. The rest of clans said..here we go again! new journey, new home, new friends. To cut the story, early of April, our secondJeddi got an offer from MRSM Tun Abdul Razak, Pekan and he accepted the offer. son had a good time in Skolah Seni Malaysia. He learnt a lot there. His drawing is improve. His confident level is good, and not to forget he can IRON his shirts now!sighhh..This mother is so relief..hehehhehe..

So taknak cakap panjang dah aihhh.. belanja uolls satu pic. his last day at SSeMJ. Selamat hari raya Maaf zahir batin untuk semua!
