Muda sebelum tua

I was reading Wardina's experience sharing, to realize that Ilhan belum ditrain utk solat 5 waktu.

And she's already 7 going 8 years.

Alamak..

She knows how to solat, cuma salah aku tak really push her to perform them 5 times a day.

Good thing bila Ilhan balik kampung cuti sekolah haritu, dan kena solat dgn opah & atuk. So bila balik Penang, she has already following a routine. Cuma subuh mmg susah.

Zohor, during school days adalah tertinggal terus, sbb school starts at 1PM and there's no surau at her school (read : sjkc) . I'm looking forward nak jumpa ustazah dia to find ways utk solat time recess, 3PM.

Asar, will be done at nursery - around 640PM, after school, lambat sikit tapi janji dia solat. Dah pesan pun kat pengetua nursery to make sure dia solat right after school.

Maghrib & isya will be done together, so far so good.

And, mengikut nasihat Wardina; each time after solat, I will whisper prayers to Allah -

"Ya Allah, jadikanlah Ilhan Yasmin hambaMu yg sentiasa tekun mengerjakan solat 5 waktu"

Making sure she listens, so she understands.

And seriously Ya Allah, perkenankanlah doa ku. Dan istiqamahkanlah usaha kami.

bye-bye 1st baby teeth

With lots and lots of tears, Ilhan's first baby teeth falls out. Or sebenarnya, dicabut dentist.

Actually her front teeth dah menampakkan sifat-sifat untuk gugur, but she refuse to be touched,  or even examined. We first saw her front teeth agak jarang dari biasa,signing gigi kekal sudah menolak gigi susu.

Tapi, being Ilhan yang drama queen dan soap opera queen, jangan tanya pun. Dia sensitip. When asked why your front teeth nampak pelik, she'll digest that ask me saying she's not pretty.

Anak-anak dara memang begitu.

Tanya pun susah, let alone nak pegang-pegang gigi dia. So, we decide to wait until balik kelantan or perak, because normally she'll behave extra cooperative in kampung.

Balik kelantan, ada dental clinic nearby, Klinik Dr Irma. Check her in, and the sweet dentist said, gigi ilhan dah goyang, and her permanent tooth dah nak keluar.

Ready untuk dicucuk ubat kebas

Cucuk gusi belakang pulak

She put on some cream, tak tau untuk apa, and jab ubat kebas kot kat gusi. With one move, cabut terus gigi dia. Sedih pulak tengok baby tooth itu.

The dentist said gigi ni dah takde akar pun, lucky we came now sebab gigi kekal dah keluar and finding space to locate.

So, Ilhan dah besar, sebab dah ada gigi kekal. Soon, her first period, first time leaving home, and disunting orang. Jauh pulak aku fikir ;)

Don't go away

Last Sunday, I was doing some 5s in the house with hubby, particularly in the solat room, when Ilhan & the gang messed up big time at our living room. We both were very tired (yelah, lama gila tak 5s), and being us, we yelled at Ilhan for she has always lead this kind of activities.

damaged done - sila abaikan panties & seluar kakngah, sungguh eye distraction

At that point, so angry, I was saying something like this to her - if you're around, ibu will always be angry. Go away!. That's me folks, with thin iman & thick anger.

Truth is, all of them did that, tapi being the eldest, she's always been the main target.

And, yesterday during lunch hour I received a call from Masyitah's kindy. Ilhan is here, they said, sent by some chinese man. She's ok, but the chinese man found her wandering around the road and crying.

Her evening kindy (she went there for fardhu ain & quran classes) moved to a nearby rented premise, and missed to inform both Shahrun and me. And her van driver, left her at the ex-school gate, without even looking if she has entered. So, she knocked and knocked until she realized no one's there.

She's thinking of going to Masyitah's place as it is around that area. Walaupun agak jauh. Which is why when the chinese man pick her up, she informed him to send her to Masyitah's kindy. Bijak jugak.

But, upon hearing that, menitik air mata. I remembered the thing I said yesterday, and true enough Allah tested us. A mother, wants her child to go away, and Allah tested me how it feels if she's truly away.

Ye kawan-kawan, ibu's words are doa.

So please friends, ambillah iktibar dari kesilapan saya :

1. Check and always check your kid's van driver. If he's ignorant even once, tolong jangan buat tak tahu. Do something, at least call the driver and let him know how important it is to the kid's safety. And stalked them too once in a while:
• I've once being told by the teacher that the driver always left Ilhan at the school gate, not checking if she safely entered the kindy. My fault, I did nothing.
2. Please do be extra friendly with your kid's teacher. They might forget those who are not. Macam saya. Resulting me not receiving any news of the school relocation.
3. Give your kids your phone number.
4. Always always always find a reliable guardian. Be it the school the driver or whoever taking care of her.
• last night Ilhan told me, the driver once left her alone at the road side with the van. The van is out of fuel, and he needs to buy some. Ilhan has to locked the door and be silent.
5. Never never never never say inappropriately. Say good things to your kid. You're a mother kan?

So friends, don't repeat my mistakes. I wonder how I'll be if we were to lost her (God forbid).

very sorry dear

oh so random

After a while.

Year end concert

For the kids' kindy. Ilhan & Masyitah. Ilhan's was held at Dewan Sri Pinang, very grand tapi aku rasa the concept was not creative enough. All they did was dance with fancy dresses. Gambar ada with her uncle, i'll upload later. And tak berapa meriah since Ilhan baru habis a week of high fever. She stalled once she saw her atuk, atuk pulak melambai dengan semangat waja.

Ilhan with her friend Dakshina, they were doing 1Malaysia dance

Hand painted by her teachers, sampai petang tanak basuh

Masyitah's was a decent ceremony, yet the teachers are very creative. She did recite some surah lazim, tapi once she saw us, terus stop & buat aksi ratu cantik. She was very excited during the whole ceremony, again seeing her atuk excites her more. She sang so loud, lead the group and refuse to get away from the stage. Sengih-sengih.

Masyitah, penuh perasaan cun

The red waves



The Red Warriors - penuh satu stadium

We went to watch the Final Piala Malaysia, of course on the The Red Warrior's side (walaupun takdelah sokong sangat, I don't care sapa menang, asal main best2 saja). I was not supposed to join the crowd, but I have no choice as Ammar is so excited to "ole, ole". The red waves is so big, I can't even go to the toilet. And they put so much hope, I've thought of going out from the stadium in case TRW hasn't score any goal on the 60's minutes.


Me & Ammar, excited juga tengok!



The crowd yg akan mengganas kalau kalah ;)

Kalau tak goal lagi, sure hangus stadium tu. Ganah demo.

Geng-geng seangkatan Shahrun merangkap sanak saudara

And Ammar slept from minute 10 until TRW's first goal. So much ole-ole.

The Zorros - his cousins

Home

For those who has come to my house, surely knows our standard. Rumah seperti PPRT haha! No kitchen cabinet, old wardrobe (yang type orang bujang guna tu) & full of boxes. We've been living like that for we've never thought that we'll stay this long in the house.

Looks like we'll be staying until another 2 years minimum, so we've bought a new wardrobe - for towels, beddings, curtains and baju2 yang tak cukup space. That, is our first attempt untuk mencantikkan rumah.

Next month maybe boleh sambung part lain - painting & kids wardrobe.

ok jap, kerja memanggil.

Eh, cancellah. To be continued on different entry, haha

Happy birthday !

Yesterday, is Ilhan's birthday. She's officially 5.

I planned to write a lenghty story about her; my style. But I'm drained out of ideas. She's my eldest, and currently away from me, even talking to her last night shed my tears.

Tanaklah tears tears dihari jadi kan?

Ilhan Yasmin, recently.

Ok, Kakak, here goes :

Happy 5th Birthday.
Jangan nakal-nakal kat rumah Tokma, tau.

Ilhan selalu mention that she looked like me, ye ke?
