Kids & Swimming Pool

Now that the school holidays has just started, the kids has been pestering us to go somewhere. Particularly yang ada swimming pool. But we can't just yet. En Tebby tak bercuti until end of December. Coincidently, a promotional pamphlet from Toys R Us arrived in our mailbox. The kids studied from page to page and later on pestered us on a infalatible swimming pool. The one with the slide on the side somemore.

Tapi pegi Toys R Us MV, yang depa nak tu dah habis. Iman choosed another type. The bonus is, yang dia pilih tu is a cheaper one he he.

That Toys R Us pamphlet pun dah selamat dibuang he he.

Lepas solat Asar, proses mengepam pool dimulakan oleh Kak Mon and dihabiskan oleh En Tebby. Letih woo nak kasi penuh angin sampai wall jadi rigid. Lepas tu baru proses bubuh air pulak. Kalau gini sampai habis cuti sekolah, habis le melambung-lambung bil air nanti nih.

Jom jengah aktiviti depa.

the boys could hardly wait. ummi, pasang pool. ummi, masukkan angin. haihhh.. tunggu dulu. ummi nak bubuh sunscreen kat muka ni ha jap.


owh Iman, you need to cut down ur carbo intake dear. perut dah berlipat-lipat.

Adam. pose kening berkerut. Frens, ni cam muka abah ke muka ummi?

Iman - Terapi CaraKerja HUKM

Iman is attending 2 of those, Terapi CaraKerja and Terapi Pertuturan
Unit ni kat basement level, HUKM.

18 November 2010.

Sesi Terapi Carakerja (Occupational Theraphy) pertama Iman di HUKM.

Kalau sebelum ini dia ke Gleneagles Intan di Ampang, kali ini dan seterusnya InsyaAllah di HUKM.

Why? Based on my communications with other parents and pihak-pihak berkenaan, SHOULD Iman need any supporting documentation for his school later, the documentation should come from government hospital. Personnel from Dyslexic Center highly recommended Hospital Besar Kuala Lumpur but the earliest date we could get was sometime in March or April 2011! (Peeps, we need more Psychiatrists!). The other alternative is HUKM and we got the first appoinment on 8th November 2010. (Read my entry on it here). (after sending relevant documents to get an appointment date sometime in August 2010).

The session took around 45-50 minutes. Iman is assigned to Therapist Ayu. She will be handling his case from now on and *ahem* since Ayu is quite good looking, I doubt that Iman will give her much fuss cooperating he he.

Cuma yang tak laratnya ialah, despite having a file in Psychiatric Unit, we still needed to open another one in Unit OT (and later in Unit ST pulak). Me and En Tebby pon dengan gigihnya merepeat segala history Iman from my pregnancy sampailah ke current date. I think they should really work on having a common file.

Payment for each therapy session is just RM10. If we have guarantee letter then the payment will be waived. The process is not a one-stop thingy. Upon arriving, you'll first need to register and make payment and leave your appointment booklet there. They'll issue a slip and the slip needs to be given to respective counter (OT, ST or Physio and the likes). Habis sesi, bring that slip back to set a future appointment (which is manually written down in a big book) and later to the counter you first register to have your appointment date key-ed in and then collect back your appointment booklet. Mula-mula tu pening gak makcik. Ke sana, ke sinun.

Next appointment will be on 13th December 2010.

Anyway, sharing some homeworks Therapist Ayu suggested us to do at home.

1. Shape play-dough into balls.

2. Flatten play-dough and write or draw on it using tooth-pick.

3. String beads. Begins with big ones and gradually to smaller beads.

4. Tear papers into small thin strip.

5. Shape papers into balls.

Bunyi cam takde apa2 kan but based on what I've gone through, it helps to enhance motor skills as well as concentration. Even if your child doesn't have special needs, do try this out. Bermain sambil belajar.

mula-mula register kat sini. tinggalkan appointment booklet, bayar RM10. you'll be given a slip.

you then take the slip ke sini pulak. leave it at the counter. after session, register for future appointment sini and then take the slip back to counter hak gambar atas pulak. sila jgn lupa ambik semula appointment booklet anda.


Iman yang semakin tembun

Salam Eidul Adha

MasyaAllah, sejauh mana saya telah membuat pengorbanan sepanjang bernafas di bumi Allah selama lebih 36 tahun? Terasa kerdilnya diri ini. Jarang-jarang solat di surau, sesekali berjemaah terasa satu keheningan yang sukar digambarkan dengan kata-kata.

Ya Allah, berkatilah hambaMu ini.

Salam Eidul Adha dari K Mon.

Adam - orang semayang, dia pulun minum air.

Iman - partner in crime


Para jemaah muslimat. Ada anak kecik, terpaksa duduk di saf belakang sekali.

Dah kena sembelih

Kakak - Org kalu takut tutup mata, dia tutup telinga he he.

Adam.

Sesi melapah bermula.

Syukur. Kakak No 3.

We went to Majlis Ihtifal & Khatam Al-Quran held by KAFA Al-Waani, sekolah agama which Kakak is attending. Alhamdulillah, syukur Ya Allah, she got 3rd place in her class. (For her sekolah kebangsaan, she got 4th. Prizes are given to 1st-3rd place only).

The event was held in Sekolah Agama Menengah, Jalan Hulu Langat. I thought the event would take up 2 1/2 hours the most but we ended up going back way after 5.00 pm. Blame it on the long speeches delivered. Me think, this is an Ihtifal then just have your speeches short and sweet. Just congratulate the students and give some moral encouragement. Me think, it was like attending some kind of briefing. They held lotsa persembahan as well. But those persembahan were wayyyy entertaining than those long speeches.

When she went up the stage, I felt a lump in my throat. This is the girl whom her teacher bluntly told me 'dia slow' way back in 2008. So mommies, never lose hope on your child. Never lose faith. As Maher Zain renders 'InsyaAllah, InsyaAllah. InsyaAllah we'll find the way'.

just arrived. meant to just photo her alone. but Iman will never miss menempel. and kikkor too.

waiting in line

that's my girl

PJ For Kakak

I am so gonna be domesticated.

cottons at RM8 per meter. i bought 2.5m for each patterns.

This is my PJ project for Kakak. She's in difficult age where baju is concerned. Biggest in kids' section, tad bit too small or short for her. Smallest in adult section, tad bit too big or long for her. This calls for mummy's scissor-project yet again.

As compared to Adam's PJ bottom project, this is going to be extra tricky as I am making the top as well. And I haven't done any projects for top for such a loooooonnnnnggggg time. Nasib baik masa kat sekolah dulu ada belajar SRT (Sains Rumah Tangga, which people my age or older had to go through from form 1 to form 3). Most classes were ordeal especially sewing but look at what those ordeals had taught me.

Kakak requested the top to have two pockets, which gonna add to the trickiness.

Let's have a look at the project so far..

some cheap laces to go with the pockets

taraaaa... finished PJ bottoms. kain berlebih tu for the tops. hope the tops will turn out as good as the bottoms.

i am one proud mummy heh heh

Red Wok Kajang/Bangi

Now that I am a temporary SAHM, me and Tebby spend less time together, the 'just-us' time. When I was working, we usually had our breakfast together and occasionally lunch. Friday was the 'groceries-day' which later we had quiet dinner together before heading home. We love our kids to bits but after years of marriage we decided that we need to have some 'just-us' time. Just like we need 'abah-ummi-kids' time.

We have 'pasar Kajang' time together. So un-romantic is may sound but doesn't dating means doing something we like in common? Plus, it's like killing two birds with one stone. Dating, and all the provision is done for.

And recently we started dating back on regular basis on Friday night. No good movies to catch up, we ended up on good food. After three weeks in a row of Saba Restaurant (read here and here), we tried out new place earlier today. Red Wok in Bangi. We acccidently saw this place en-route back home from Saba the other day (while being sesat sebenarnya). Tried out thier Korean Sizzling Steamboat (grill+steamboat). They have Steamboat alone as well. Met Tebby's friends there and they recommended ala carte as well. Maybe next time, InsyaAllah.

Oh, browse here for more info on Red Wok http://redwok.wordpress.com/

but the wok ain't red y ols!
