It's time to write

I thought I lost my blog forever.

The last time I wrote was 2011, when Hairee was just 4 years old and he is now 11 years old, going to be 12 this October. So much has changed since then...

I hope I have time to write again but this time will be more on our self-drive holiday. Stay tune.

Respect my privacy

Tak ramai yg ku invite to read my blog, hanya yang terdekat and yang ku percaya

The reason i private this blog because i need some space and freedom to write. So, now I don't really need to care about anyone checking my grammatical errors, how I want to write, bila masa nak marah, nak sedih or nak 'berlagak'. This is my blog, our family blog and the idea of having this blog in the first place is for our memory in the future, what we have done, what we have gone thru and stuff like that..

So kengkawan ku sayang..please respect my privacy and happy reading :)

Goodbye CRV .. 3/5/11

We bought this car a few months after Hairee was born. Actually, we never plan to buy this car, the idea just came out of sudden 'sebab byk barang baby, with the carseat, stroller, sometime pillows and all that lepas tu Willy's friend the used car dealer called us saying ada CRV cantik...so we tgk n test drive terus decided tukar from proton perdana to this car. Still same CC 2.0 tapi perdana lebih kuat minyak. This car do wonder to us, really good tapi lately sebab kereta 2nd hand, that time we bought dah 4 years old, so maintenance is high with 2 owners pakai before, last year we spent 8k just utk aircond, skrg pulak terasa kuat minyak sebab kene travel from setia alam to kota damansara every day, walaupun tak jauh tak jammed makan minyak aje about rm 150-200 seminggu.

Lepas pergi Mazda show room, we decided nak beli kete baru so terus let go kete ni dgn car dealer. Huhuhu, that guy ambil murah sgt, 50k aje but no choice sebab Willy malas nak jual direct to end user, kalau tunggu lama sikit mungkin boleh jual lebih sikit tapi he just hate going thru all the hassle to deal with too many car dearler..market price for this car 7 years boleh dpt lagi 60k.

CRV macam tau aje kami nak tinggalkan dia, that tuesday morning suddenly the alarm not working, alarm got sound 'tik..tik..tapi pintu tak boleh buka...

Wordless Wednesday - My wish list

I like the design of cabinet behind the sofa..

Flowers

.. inspired from my favorite show Pure Design

Monday Blues

Why  are Monday’s so boring? But time flies fast this morning than usual, sibuk sikit submitting accounting reports for Germany office.  Alhamdulillah, Hairee is feeling better from a high fever he had last Friday..no flu..no cough suddenly teacher from school called saying he had a high fever at 38’ +.

We have a laid-back weekend staying at home and done my most-hated chore, folding laundry right on time, bravo Aiza...  I hate hate hate folding laundry, so instead of washing clothes everyday or every alternate day like other wives does I will only do my entire laundry once a week that includes bed sheets, towels, clothes and kitchen clothes. My mother in-law always teasing me that the washer is getting weak if working non-stop for the whole day..but I've been doing it for the past 8 years with same washer..anyway the washer got 6 days rest and only working non-stop for 1 day (klu betul rosak ada chance tak beli washer with dryer tak yah sidai..angan kuat..pemalas kan hehe). I don't see the points doing it everyday if I just dump piling of laundry into the basket without folding it...

These are things that he brought home last week

From school..science project, bean sprout

Birthday cake creation from daycare group

Seperation anxiety

Dalam beberapa minggu ini dia buat perangai semula tapi kali ini lain adegan pulak. Agak lagi 2km nak sampai school akan ada lakonan dalam kete...muka 'chewek' buat sedih-sedih pastu gosok-gosok mata kengkonon menangis..bila I tanya why? Ibu I don't want to go to school, I want to follow you.... hah dah pulak. So, dah beberapa hari kene bawa dia naik kelas lepas tu ada adengan pelukan takmau kene tinggal..dia dah buat perangai semula, seperation anxiety.

Monday, teacher cakap he did not focus. mmm..last nite tanya dia baik2..why? dia cakap..I don't want to go to school ibu..pastu I cakap..you cannot follow me to work..then dia cakap..I want to go to shops...(tergelak pun ada)..hubby terus ckp..dah berapa bulan kita tak pergi shopping mall itu dia mogok kot...kakakaka. Then tanya lagi, do you like your school or do you want to change school again...then dia jawap...I like my school...blur ibu skrg.

Serious, we got problem now..mula-mula cikgu kata dia slow in writing and coloring, and now tak focus pulak..what should we do? Patut ke stop kan school sekejap..dia dah bosan ke? Kalau dekat rumah bukan main bersemangat..tapi bukan kat sekolah.

Smlm ambik cuti bawa dia jalan2 sambil jumpa doctor ambil ubat, brainwash sekali, pujuk baik..pagi ni dah bersemangat tapi sampai school buat lah perangai semula, buat muka sedih nak ikut ibu..tapi kali ini tinggal kan aje dia takmau manja2 sangat.

Anak sorang dah pening gini..Hairee tak mau lah buat ibu susah hati ye..

Disney on Ice

Semalam bawa the kiddos and my sister to Disney on Ice: Worlds of Fantasy at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil. Fetch her and the kids around 9am and drove straight to my aunty house in Kinrara to drop off her maid and baby Julia before going to Bukit Jalil.

This was Hairee 2nd time at a Disney on Ice whereas 1st time for Jehan and Johan. The show was great and we were very lucky this time, got best view, 1st row from the stage.

We purchased four tickets from one of the outlet in Subang Parade a few days ago, 2 for me and Hairee and another two for my sister and her daughter. Wanted to buy on Saturday show but sold-out, lucky still got best seats available on Sunday 11am show.

We were actually on the 2nd row from the stage, but it was our lucky day, no one seating on the front seats, so we switched place.

Some pictures

Dah habis show, baru dapat rasa Hairee demam. Actually mlm before the show badan dah panas makan ubat, pagi ok. Dia punya excited nak pergi dah berhari-hari tanya when is the show. During the show dia duduk diam sampai habis sebelah kakak jehan, habis show ibu belikan souviner fishy mug...balik singgah farmasi belikan ubat, sempat lagi swimming kat pool rumah my aunty, takut gak demam tak kebah tapi today pergi school, give him medicine..alhamdullilah dah baik sikit.  

First school trip

Some pictures taken from last Thursday, 24th of March when Hairee with his school friends went to the High-5 Bread Factory in Shah Alam organised by the kindergarten. Since, parents 'boleh join' but extra pay so I decided to tag along.

Korean Drama - MIDAS

I think most of my friends already know about myself being so addicted to watch Korean/Japanese Dramas.

Currently watching MIDAS online episode 8 and still airing in korea episode 11. In Astro Byond just started  episode 3. My comments: I like this drama so so much, so different from other drama k-Drama that I've seen, not only about love but about life and money.

Plot
"Midas" takes place against the backdrop of corporate M & A (mergers and acquisitions).


Kim Do-Hyun (Jang Hyuk) graduated from the top university in South Korea and has now worked as a fund manager for 3 years. He is handsome and good at sports. Do-Hyun is particularly keen with analyzing the situation as it occurs, but his weakness comes from his poor family background. After working 3 years as a fund manager Do-Hyun is all too aware the power money has. Insecure with his situation, Do-Hyun decides to look for a more prestigious job, with better pay.

Yoo In-Hye's (Kim Hee-Ae) is a president for a hedge fund company. Her grandfather was a banker during the Japanese occupation of South Korea. This means her grandfather was on the side of the Japnese. During the Korea War he made lots of money. After the war her grandfather became a money lender and through this made a fortune. By the 1970's he became the most powerful man in the underground economy. Yoo In-Hye's family is now one of the richest families.

Lee Jung-Yeon (Lee Min-Jung) dated Do-Hyun for 6 years and they will get married soon. Whenever she thinks about Do-Hyun, she can't stop smiling. During her middle and high school years Jung-Yeon was a quiet student with ordinary scores, but Do-Hyun appeared in front of her and they began a relationship. She is certain that Do-Hyun loves her. Jung-Yeon also has one thing that Do-Hyun does not have. That is a family.

Wordless Wednesday - maxi skirts

mmm no extra money to splurge :(

School Holiday

Talking about his school progress, early last month I start getting reports from teachers that he is having meltdowns over coloring and writing. I got really distraught and meeting his class teacher one afternoon to hear the real problem.

According to her this seems to be the only problem, he has friends, sociable, he enjoys singing, dancing and likes cutting and pasting but when everyone else were doing coloring or writing he seems to get distracted easily, stop his work and start dreaming and talking which end up he did not finish on time and teachers has to put him at one corner finishing his work whereas the others doing something else. Although it may not a big deal to them but I’m so glad that his teacher came and talk to me earlier, in fact she has given priority to him right now. After having long discussion, we concluded that he would probably just get unexciting with the same thing that he has been doing for the past two years in the old kindergarten. We replaced a few things like from color pencils to giant crayons, fancy coloring books. I even told his teacher to take it easy on him just make sure he participate and give him other materials that make him more enjoyable. So I guess getting to school at early ages does not bring any advantages.

Surprisingly, he shows a lot of improvement in this week at home, he could finish coloring fast, hold the pencil properly and start recognizing A – D. Hopefully he is doing fine at school as well.

Last week I took 5 days off taking the advantages of school holiday to spend time with him away from school. I wish I could spend more time with him every day but at the moment I still need to work to share  the financial burden of raising him and family. Sesungguhnya Allah knows what is best for us.

Ok, what we did together last week on school holiday
