<br/>
They are into their second week now.<br/>

So far so good with school and friends for them..<br/>
<br/>
Me and husband are just amazed and thankful with on how quick it was for my eldest to mix around and found her own group of friends that is likeable to her..<br/>
<br/>
So I have been hearing the same name being mentioned by her like Champa , Brianna, Celine ..ignore the spelling as it may be wrongly spelt by me.. hahaha<br/>
<br/>
Yeah. ..her own girls squad like in BSJ..<br/>
<br/>
Aisyah too is closed to one girl from her class..Daylan. .I do hope she will find more good friends ...<br/>
<br/>
As for Alya...well , anyone who plays at the playground will be her friends. ..that is how easy she mixed around and create new friendship..<br/>
<br/>
And me , I have met a few moms. Hoping to meet more during the next PCO meeting this Wednesday. .<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-11932055011517199082018-12-08T23:50:00.001+08:002018-12-08T23:50:46.292+08:00Mixed feelings<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>After 7 years in Jakarta , this December 2018 we are saying farewell to our life and friends here.<br/>
<br/>
Next week will be the final week of school for Term 1. Final and last term for me and my kids.<br/>
<br/>
How all my 3 girls started their early years and primary years here. <br/>
<br/>
To them , BSJ is their first school. And forever it will stay embedded in their minds.<br/>
<br/>
It's the first school for my eldest. She was supposed to join Standard 1 in KL. But joined Year 2 when we moved here 7 years ago.<br/>
<br/>
As for Aisyah and Alya , both joined the Foundation Stage at BSJ for 2 year before moving into Primary school. <br/>
<br/>
How luckily they are to be able to join this great early years programmes. One which is different from back home in KL. <br/>
<br/>
Of course 2 years in Tadika bunga tulip for eldest really paid off as it helped her a lot in Year 2.<br/>
<br/>
Allah is the best planner..no doubts in it. And forever and always we will stay thankful to Him.<br/>
<br/>
Throughout that 7 years in BSJ, me and my girls have become the regular faces that you will see in school. Both at drop offs and pick ups.<br/>
<br/>
Having all girls leave me with no choice of not sending them to school. So Alya and Aisyah used to tag along to school before they join school.<br/>
<br/>
And that how Alya became that time reminder for all those we have seen in school. A reminder how time passed by so quickly . A reminder of how old we have become as we see Alya grew up from being just a 3 months old baby to a friendly 7 years old girl.<br/>
<br/>
Dedicated and friendly teachers had come and gone by through that 7 years. And how they have touched and leave good memories in me and my girls. <br/>
<br/>
Until now my girls still remembers Ms Deborah O'callaghan , Ms Emma Russell , Ms Jeanette Sy .<br/>
<br/>
And soon we will remember all the teachers in BSJ. <br/>
<br/>
These days im school you will see me long hard and long of each things . If only what I see can be straight transferred into a video or pictures that me and my girls will forever cherished in the future.<br/>
<br/>
We always pass by the kiddy pool . And how I can see Aisyah and Alya swimming there for their first time. <br/>
<br/>
This last 3 weeks Arissa and Aisyah didn't get to do their swimming after school activities. Luckily I had look hard and long when I had the time ..with Alya . How we both always waited and sit at the shaded swimming dock whenever her big sisters are doing swimming. <br/>
<br/>
And yes , I took endless photos of it. 😢<br/>
<br/>
It's hard when you have lived quater of your life long in one place. Hard to leave when you have made good friends .<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-79115121557858576712018-12-08T22:59:00.001+08:002018-12-08T22:59:50.538+08:00Friday franctic<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Afraid of see what next Friday will be. <br/>
<br/>
Usually we were the ones who saw sad teary faces of those school leavers and their family.<br/>
<br/>
How we were the ones who witness friends hugging the leavers . And how moms also hugs their friends for the last time in school. <br/>
<br/>
So comes this Friday , me and my kids will be trading our places as leavers of BSJ.<br/>
<br/>
I do know for sure how it will turn up my Year 9 daughters. Deep down inside I am dreading that teary scene.<br/>
<br/>
As for Aisyah my girl in Year 5 and she is just 9, she may cry at pick up or in a car. This too I just don't know what should I do or say..<br/>
<br/>
And as for my 7 year old girl Alya , she might be indifferent to this..but she will join Aisyah in crying later.<br/>
<br/>
And me ? Well , I wish I don't have to cry..for I wish to be the strongest one to support and hug my kids in that last bye bye moments ..<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-80888516470982002792018-01-31T13:35:00.001+08:002018-01-31T13:35:42.242+08:00Back to gym life<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Don't know why I didn't start hitting the gym back when Alya was in FS ..<br/>
<br/>
It took me 3 years to enrol myself again as gym member..<br/>
<br/>
I have always enjoy doing the aerobic and cardiovascular classes. .those day my choice is limited as I were only be able to do it after office hours..wait! Actually more of only when my work is done which could be at 6 pm..<br/>
<br/>
So since January this year , I have been going to the gym and doing all the classes that I can..<br/>
<br/>
And wow!! The feeling of doing those zumba, RPM, body combat, yoga , fast fit was sureal. ..<br/>
<br/>
I enjoyed every minutes of it..<br/>
<br/>
And now I am worried of having to miss these classes during that 1 week of CNY school break..I will be in KL ma. .<br/>
<br/>
Did strong Zumba and Fast fit which was awesome. .had me looking forward to my class this week. .<br/>
<br/>
These days my life in the morning just before I need to pick up my gorgeous girls from school after 2 pm daily, it is sandwich with groceries at pasar and supermarket, gym and my kelas pengajian 2x a week. .<br/>
<br/>
Alhamdulillah for the reliable house helper that I have ..just need to tell what dishes to cook or prepared the bumbu for me to cook <br/>

So single and free and dating..and working out after work at gym in KLCC or doing jogging or walking at KLCC park. <br/>
<br/>
So carefree lifestyles.<br/>
<br/>
Actually my light lunch of tuna sandwiches reminded me of that lifestyle. <br/>

How easy it was to buy dinner food after workout. And if I wasn't into light dinner, then there is the juice stalls Booster that I used to stop and buy my juice.<br/>

Normally by 730 I was alr<br/>

<br/>
And back to my routines.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
And came back with more determination to lose some weight. <br/>
<br/>
Talking about losing weight, it's easy when you have the knowledge of what's and why's of good eating habits. <br/>
<br/>
Did my full health screening last month. Talked to a dietitian as it was part of the package.<br/>
<br/>
Must say that I am glad and thankful for the results.<br/>
<br/>
Have to credit this to my hubby. He has been constantly reminding me and sharing with me good eating habits.. also to exercises. .which I still have not start going to the gym..<br/>
<br/>
Seeing the dietitian left a big impact on myself..I can only say it motivates me to watch what I eat ..and portion is important.<br/>
<br/>
And being me who loves eating, this is helpful..I get to enjoy what I eat but with the right portion. <br/>
<br/>
The tips is , be aware of what u eat at meals time. This will help you to decide what food u can eat for snack . Should u be hungry between the main meals. Go for smaller portion. And yes, lotsa water too.<br/>
<br/>
When you watch and aware what carbo or protein or sugary or salty food that you had eaten , then losing weight will be easier.<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-64498501035693541422017-04-11T23:43:00.001+08:002017-04-11T23:43:07.562+08:00Check list<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>I have 2 more days left in KL/Seremban.<br/>

Even to my kids. No doubts they like the idea of going vacation at other countries.<br/>

Numerous times I had it wrong. With that I don't dare asking a person if she or he is a Muslim. <br/>
<br/>
Their religion is only known to me after our small talks. Even if I see them with their jilbab mom or sisters, I still can't decide if she or he is a Muslim.<br/>
<br/>
And here the Muslims take their solats seriously. Be prepared to see the women especially dressing in sleeveless , short pants or skirt , no jilbab, nails colored coming to mussola to do their prayers. Old and young they come to do their prayers .

Unlike working woman, not much choices of the time when can call our parents. Sometimes at lunch time too not able to do it as we may need to do a quick groceries buy. And postpone that catch up calls at night time or next day again.<br/>
<br/>
Indeed our moves to Jakarta has many silver linings . Not only to the benefits of my children but also to my parents also. <br/>

And how I crave for Malaysian style cooked dishes even on hari raya Haji. <br/>
<br/>
To be honest, I won't deny it. And thank you my dearest superb half for driving me to Ah Mei in Living World Alam Sutera. However we ended eating at Kopi O as Ah Mei was closed for renovation.<br/>
<br/>
This year raya Haji was a low key one. In fact almost all raya Haji that we celebrated in Jakarta had been a low key celebration. All this because it was a school day the next day. How uncool is that..<br/>
<br/>
No doubt I cooked the the rendang ayam N9 . And this year we had lemang. Luckily I managed to order it from another fellow Malaysian. So apart from those two food , I bake a gugelhupf chocolate cake which is a recipe from Chef Wan. First time baking it and it was yummy. So that's it..that was the menu for raya.<br/>
<br/>
Back to my homesick, I miss being in Malaysia. Blame it also for the fact that I spent my whole summer holidays in Malaysia this year.<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-9835825634394430082016-09-02T00:38:00.001+08:002016-09-02T00:38:07.999+08:00Mrsfina<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>I have a pray..<br/>

<br/>
I didn't pay much noticed to it..thinking it was just another crafts from her...how they always have it in school .<br/>
<br/>
But my views changed the minute I noticed that she was learning new words of shapes and colors just by doing that simple cone...how I easily forgets that that is how the school teaches them in class.<br/>
<br/>
For the Foundation Stage at BSJ , they school uses EYFS. It involves a lot of arts and crafts and play and also lots of teachers observation too..<br/>
<br/>
Yeah, the teacher do that so that they can help each child in their own special needs and developments. And we got this from the terms reports.<br/>

<br/>
Don't they fear of the payback from Allah. <br/>
<br/>
Maybe now in these present time, they may think that their act is ok. No harm done. No heart is broken .. but deep down inside , are they sure that no heart is broken or pain by their acts..?<br/>
<br/>
And the most unthinkable is how sure are you that your kids won't be doing the same things to you?<br/>
<br/>
How sure will you be that your sweet well manared children won't mistreated you in your olden days.? <br/>
<br/>
Never forget that our children are just human beings. The influence of their spouse may changed them from your sweet well manared children to unthoughtful and ill manared children. <br/>
<br/>
Allah is fair. And most of the time we forgot why certain bad things happen to us.. And we always forgot to look back at our own past action towards other people even our own parents and in law. <br/>
<br/>
And for muslim , we must never forget not to cause even the slightest pain in our mother's heart. It's written in Quran on the consequences of that act. <br/>
<br/>
Until then, I can only hope and pray let it not be any pain felt by those mom's and dads too..<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-52335099081918648402015-11-03T15:37:00.001+08:002015-11-03T15:37:03.749+08:00Spouse by love or religion<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>How lucky we are if we were advised and told by either our parents or by someone we trust on the important and logic reason why we should find prospective husband or wife based on religion. This I am referring to Muslims. <br/>
<br/>
Of course it is mentioned in the Alquran on how to choose your partner ie what is the criteria one should choosed based upon. <br/>
<br/>
But even if we know, nobody did say the logic behinds it..or our minds just don't want to accept it . And ignore it like most of the times. <br/>
<br/>
So choose your partner because of his/her religion. This means choose a person who has great understanding of the religion and all its teachings. <br/>
<br/>
With that , only after what had happened to someone dearest to me, do I fully understand the logic behind it.. but then, it's too late for my dear friend to change the past. You can just turn the clock back and reset everything when this is about your marriage and kids are involved.<br/>
<br/>
But things would be different had my friend choose her partner first based on religion. From my observations on friends marriage, I noticed that having a spouse that has great and depth understanding of religion does help a lot with the marriage. <br/>
<br/>
And this is different for those who aren't. <br/>
<br/>
So many people fall in love with the outer beauty..some do get lucky to fall in love with a person who has both beauty and depth religion beliefs. <br/>
<br/>
But when marriage get sour when your spouse suddenly changed from good to evil, not much you can do actually. You either try to save your marriage or divorce. And for a Muslim, divorce is one thing that Allah hates.<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-54559579216872604762015-10-31T23:48:00.001+08:002015-10-31T23:48:43.121+08:00BBQ <div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>How old memories sting me like a bee tonight. More because of the presence of the people from the old memory itself. <br/>
<br/>
How we used to have BBQ when my late brother in law was still alive. <br/>
<br/>
I don't know how it started but what I do know is that he always do bbq even before I was married to my husband.<br/>
<br/>
We always have bbq whenever he feels like too.. he did it whenever Baba Nong, Hala Pachik came all over from Singapore to visit us ..And Khuya Fazul and Kak Iz and the kids will drop over also .. <br/>
<br/>
I remember the big open porch of his house where we did the bbq . How nice to have your bbq witness by the clear night skies and the twinkling stars. . Sometimes the night air was cooling..sometimes no wind at all..<br/>
<br/>
But the things that never missed was the laughter and happy mood ... especially when it was Baba Nong and the company..<br/>
<br/>
I don't know why all of a sudden dearest hubby said about wanting to do bbq tonight. <br/>
<br/>
He only said that the girls will like the idea. . And we only went out to get the new bbq set together with the charcoal and my new yellow and red stool from Ace Hardware store at 430 pm. <br/>
<br/>
My MIL is here ..so do her old maid Wiwi that came to visit Umi and us tonight. Here in my Jakarta house.<br/>
<br/>
I do know for sure these two people remember those old days of bbq ... and tonight seeing Wiwi again and having her with us doing bbq , the memories is just so strong... Wiwi was there in the old memories right from the beginning. . And she was also there when my late BIL passed away.. <br/>
<br/>
I do love bbq ..the chicken wings ,the lamb and meat was deliciously cooked with loads of loves from my hubby..<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-50020848653053007472015-10-29T12:50:00.001+08:002015-10-29T12:50:04.225+08:00When maid goes pulkam<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>My maid is at her kampung now. That is since Tuesday nite I have turned myself into Cinderellaa. ..<br/>
<br/>
And looking at how I sweat each day by just doing all the house chores including cooking , I think I may stand a chance to reduce my weight. <br/>
<br/>
Last night the sweat after mopping the whole ground floor of my house ie from kitchen to living room ...hmm...it's like doing a sauna ..<br/>
<br/>
And today more sweat after doing the laundry.. <br/>
<br/>
But then again , it will be meaningless if I didn't control what I eat...<br/>
<br/>
And now I am on my way to pick up my Alya from school.. Today there are 3 school pick ups .. Yeah three different timing due to Arissa having an after school activities which ends at 340 pm. While Aisyah will finish school at 140 pm.. Phew !!! <br/>
<br/>
More walking for me today .. <br/>
<br/>
Luckily today there is no mengaji. ..<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-71791777833277270412015-10-27T00:21:00.001+08:002015-10-27T00:21:25.267+08:00Lucky me<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKCZWuWiHXHEuwvdQ63hIohzH5u6DcAHd1vyXK8weoFenpybQEHQl9Cr8RS08mLeZfIMKTXeEd1cCsJoqH8fdLpvfXgEJBjyCu_zrdKMCsGN9kzMfJRfqF1isA6LIdEX4khENFIhs0tbcM/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKCZWuWiHXHEuwvdQ63hIohzH5u6DcAHd1vyXK8weoFenpybQEHQl9Cr8RS08mLeZfIMKTXeEd1cCsJoqH8fdLpvfXgEJBjyCu_zrdKMCsGN9kzMfJRfqF1isA6LIdEX4khENFIhs0tbcM/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>
<br/>
One of my blessings in life is sending my beautiful 3 girls to school. This are among a few things that my hubby wished he could do or trade place with me. <br/>
<br/>
This photo was shot during one of those mornings. I was walking behind them when the sight of them just snapped me off and what a fantastic shot this will be . <br/>
<br/>
So I stop walking and gave a a bit distance to capture this special moments that I get to be in every single day . <br/>
<br/>
Even know when I look back at this photo, the warm fuzzy feelings just surround me.<br/>
<br/>
Oh yes ! How they all have grown up during this last 4 years of our living in Jakarta.<br/>
<br/>
The most overwhelming thing about this photo is seeing Alya going to school with her two big loving sisters.<br/>
<br/>
Before this, she was the one who send the two big sisters to school. And fetching them home from school with me. <br/>
<br/>
But since August 2015 this year, it is she being accompanied and send to school especially by Arissa. Her Kak Arissa just love walking her up to her class and see her putting up her lunch bag , communication bag and water bottle in place .<br/>
<br/>
While I will be walking up with Aisyah to her class. Once Aisyah is done unpacking her stuffs in her class, do we go and see Alya again. Kisses and hugs for Alya before we say goodbye to her.<br/>
<br/>
Next it will be kisses and hugs to Aisyah who next will be running to join her friends .<br/>
<br/>
And that left me and Arissa for that much precious walk of only me and her. How she loves our special morning walk to her class waiting area . <br/>
<br/>
All this make my friends saying how they seldom see me at school anymore in the morning...<br/>
<br/>
Well my morning routine has change because of my 3 lovely girls..<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-65552274320335616882015-10-24T00:16:00.000+08:002015-10-24T00:46:26.059+08:00Puncak Cisuaria retreat
Last week, we were in Puncak Cisuaria Bogor.School was off for a week for mid term 1 break. And as this time , we didnt go home to Malaysia, we decided to go somewhere near for a holidays.
So off we drove to Puncak on Wednesday which so happned to be tanggal merah ie public holidays . We stayed for a night there . The weather was chilling as you have mountains around you.
But what i and also my hubby will remember most is when we got to witness the one way traffic direction down the mountains heading to Jakarta from top..me and hubby was driving out from hotel to get dinners for ourkids and my mil too.
And how we did waze up before leaving the hotel. So traffic was a bit slow and we thought that it was just normal. Little that we know that we were soon caught up and stuck in the abovementioned situation.
we had to park our car by the road side. What we saw next to us were hundreds of cars mostly bearing Jakarta B plate numbers heading downwards the hills. The 2 way traffic had becomed a 1 way traffic. And all cars are moving down the hills. We had to wait by the road side as the KFC outlet that we wanted to go is in the opposite direction.
i think we were stucked for almost 30 minutes. The whole scene could have started much earlier before we were there.
So how do we know that the one way traffic was about to stop?
Well, we only realized it after we saw one police patrol car with loud sirens and a few police motorcycles passing next to us. Shortly after that I saw many cars behind us making that quick u-turn to go up the roads. Had i not look back at that time, we would have be stuck again in another traffic. The roads was chaotic with cars and vehicles making drastic u-turn and people busy crossing roads.
With that, we have become like other fellow indonesian..macet and stuck in traffic during holidays..emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-54505984618601232612015-10-23T23:31:00.001+08:002015-10-23T23:31:42.273+08:00Friday nite must-do-list<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>For the sake of my kids' education , I try to remind myself to read my kids' school weekly newsletter. This I do before I go to sleep on every Friday night.<br/>
<br/>
The school will published weekly newsletter and send email notification about it every Friday evening. <br/>
<br/>
Parents are being updated and informed about what the children are learning during the week and also for the next week. Each Year group will have its own newsletter. Thus its a good way for us parents to keep abreast on what is happening at school. Actually this goes inhand with the school aims of wanting parents to be more involved with their child education and progress.<br/>
<br/>
At least by reading the newletter, I know how I can help my girls at home with what they have learnt and what they are going to learn.<br/>
<br/>
In fact , at the beginning of each term and after mid term break, the school too will give us a printout of the whole term themes of topics that will be taught. The school really wants each child to have a good exposure, extra information and early ideas of what that term theme will be. <br/>
<br/>
Sometimes, I refer back to last year academic newsletters for more insight on what to expect.<br/>
<br/>
I really like this newletter ideas ..its totally different from my time. But i cant compare to school back in Malaysia. My kids have never experience it for we moved here when Arissa was starting her primary year.<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-13740679007278134962015-09-01T23:22:00.001+08:002020-02-10T22:49:01.208+08:00Alya in FS1<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">To sum it up, Alya really enjoy going to school...<br>
<br>
To her, school is fun .. In fact , she thought that everyday is school day. We had to tell her that Saturday and Sunday is rest day. And that means no school. And it is also rest days for Baba. How she always want Baba to come home early from work.. Also how she knows how she can play and be with her dad more on rest day.. so that is how the weekend stick to her mind..<br>
<br>
I am also amazed and thankful how she easily wakes up at 6 am on every morning. She will wake me up too by telling not to go to sleep as it is morning time already.. <br>
<br>
And what an easy and quick drop off for her at class too in the morning. Arissa really loves doing the drop off for Alya.. so off both of them to Alya's class while I send Aisyah to her class and unpack her school stuffs. Once done, off me and Aisyah to Alya's class. By the time we reach there,Alya has unpack and neatly arranged her bag , communication bag and lunch bag at its designated cabinets. There is always a smile from her happyface .. and how she just wanna go and play immidiately ..so a hug and kiss for her.. she doesnt even want to follow me to send Arissa to her Year 6 waiting area.. gosh!<br>
<br>
That is how excited and happy Alya is every single day since school started..<br>
<br>
Alhamdulillah.. how Allah is Great when each child is so unique ..<br><p style="font-size: xx-small" align="right">posted from <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger">Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529510498182470005.post-86084564120938404072015-07-07T22:19:00.001+08:002015-07-07T22:19:14.639+08:00 Diaperless<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Alhamdulillah.

<br/>
<br/>
As usual I will remind her how to tell and feel that her urine is about to comeout.. And voila! Today she managed to feel and experience it..<br/>
<br/>
Alhamdulillah.. she pee pee in the toilet twice today... <br/>
<br/>
And with poo poo, she has nailed it at faster rate than pee pee..<br/>

<br/>
The special day was on Saturday 27th ofJuly 2015. It was the 10th day of Ramadan ie fasting. And how I told you that it would be a great idea if you could stay on fasting until the break fast time and break it with Baba especially. All the because Baba would be returning from KL after being there for one week of workshop.<br/>
<br/>
Thus when Baba arrived home at noon, I remember how Baba challenged you to break your old record of staying fasting until 2 pm. Of course you were already weak by noon. But somehow you were motivated by Baba's word and managed to continue fasting until Mahgrib..<br/>
<br/>
I remember how you almost fell asleep on the black sofa in the living room with the fan blowing right at you..<br/>
<br/>
And remember when I suggested to you to lie down upstairs in my room aftwewards? Yeah , we were lying down on that cooling white marble floor with the fan blowing directly at us...<br/>
<br/>
Baba said that once your tummy had been tested to stay on fasting until Maghrib, then your second day of fasting would be a breeze. <br/>
How true that notion was. <br/>
<br/>
Your second day of fasting came easy after the first day. So was your 3rd day too . Even when you had to follow me shopping for baju raya and your black school shoes! <br/>
<br/>
Alhamdulillah. And high five to you my sweet and everhelpful girl!<br/>
<br/>
Mama, Kakak Arissa , Baba and lil Alya are so proud of you..<br/>
<br/>
U have been doing terawih from day one of Ramadan.. and you had been practising fasting half a day even when you have to go to school..<br/>
<br/>
Love you loads dear...<br/><p style='font-size: xx-small' align='right'>posted from <a href='https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.przemelek.android.blogger'>Bloggeroid</a></p></div>emly2175http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128711923199797801noreply@blogger.com0
