Is he??

Unwell??

Tadi tgh chat dgn Neri kot FB, syok2 chat sebab lama x chat, makan tahun la jugak



tiba2 aiman nangis..rupanya dia muntah..

Adoila..dear hubby said kalau aiman demam esok, dia x boleh cuti, sebab depa la ni x cukup org..

Esok is my teaching day, topic tomorrow is Adolescent. I don't want to miss it if possible..

Hopefully esok Aiman ok, kalau tak, terpaksala mummy ponteng teaching :(

Dilemma of a working mum..

Lately aiman macam x semangat nak pi daycare..

LAst week x pi 2 hari sebab konon x sihat

Hari Rabu, nampak macam x sihat,apyrexial though. So daddy ambik sick leave. But daddy said he was fine.Main macam biasa etc. He promised to go to daycare on Thurs and he went

On Friday, he woke up, nangis2 claimed that he wasn't well. Vomitted on my bed, checked his temp 38C, so I thought fine, if I sent him anyway kalau dia buat monyok2 at daycare, they will send him home anyway, lagi leceh,harder for me to cancel my clinic. At this time daddy dah selamat on his way to Tauranga for his peripheral clinic. I rang my practice manager, tgk2 dia pun cuti sakit..spoke to the receptionist, Chrissy, she said she can easily divert my patients to other GPs..alhamdulillah..so I stayed at home with both of them. x hantaq aliya sebab malas nak pi umah Janifal..

Weekend- happy la both of us x kerja..

This morning, I dropped both daddy and him at daycare.Just got a text msg from daddy saying that Aiman macam x seronok, sayu saja muka..last Mon pun macam tu, but I thought he was unwell, sebab weekend haritu time hari Ahad, he had temperature

Lately Aiman x enjoy sangat pi sekolah..dulu2 Aiman geng dgn Riley, Tuplu, Anay, Yash Sean and Ashton..but depa2 ni older than him. Apart from Yash..kat NZ ni, you starts school as soon as you turns 5, bukan macam kat malaysia where semua orang start serentak..

So geng2 dia ni dah start sekolah..Yash pulak, mak dia tukaq pi public kindy sebab mak dia cuti bersalin, so nak jimat duit sikit..Ashton recently started school, tinggal la Aiman sorang of the geng tu..

La ni dia dah x dak geng2 dia, dia macam x semangat la.. x sangka sungguh budak2 pun ada preference nak kawan dgn siapa etc..

Pagi tadi pun dia x dak mood bila gerak dia..sebab dia tau kena pi sekolah..

Ohh lagi satu..in the last month or two, 2 of his teachers, Ange and Robyn pindah tukar kerja kat tempat lain..rasanya ni pun faktor penyumbang kepada ketidak happy-an aiman kat daycare..kalau depa ada mungkin dia ok sikit

I really don't know what to do. Takkan nak tukar pi daycare lain? Bulan 2 tahun depan Aiman dah nak masuk sekolah, so kalau pindah, less than a year. Nak hantar kat Janifal, he will be bored stiff kat sana..Tapi kesian la kalau he's not happy.. I don't know what to do..sob sob..

Aiman ni sensitive sikit..so things like this will effect him dearly..

Why did you BUY me?

We had guests for lunch today. Hubby's workmates. One of them is Nicola, she just completed her exams and is now a consultant. After thay had left, I asked hubby, how old is Nicola, he said 38. I know her pretty well. So I said, hmm..she probably won't be having any kids then. She has no partner currently. Hearing this conversation, Aiman asked me..

A-mummy why does she not have any kids?

M- Some people don't want kids

A- Why??

M- Not sure what to say, but thought it might be a good idea to say something along this line--because kids like you make a lot of mess, don't listen to their parents yada yada (with the intention to get him to not make the mess, listen to me etc etc)

A- Why do you BUY me then?? Why don't you let other people BUY me??

M- Speechless..sedih pun ada..x tau nak jawab apa..I said, I didn't buy you darling, I gave birth to you..

A- What is birth??

M- Scratches her head..

News khabar

Aliya's

Aliya dah boleh cakap hindi sikit2..dia memang paham hindi pun selama ni sebab baby sitter dia Indian, Fijian Muslim. I let them speak hindi with her sebab pernah tanya speech therapist dulu will it affect her language development, dia kata x pa..

Tadi baby sitter bagi tau, since husband dia cuti (husband dia cuti 3 bulan sebab baru2 ni operation cardiac bypass) Aliya makin byk cakap hindi, tadi Aliya kata kat husband dia "Abu, challo" sambil tarik tangan ajak keluaq..betui ka eja macam ni??

So tadi balik rumah, saja test tarik tangan Aliya sambil kata "aliya, challo" She looked at me, muka heran + terkejut and then she laughed!! Amazing!! How kids can differentiate between different languages, she knows that we speak different language at home and they speak different language there!

Feijoas

Feijoa ni sejenis buah yg so far kami hanya jumpa di New Zealand. Sedap...mula2 mai NZ dulu x berapa reti makan, sebab beli dekat pak n Save, x sedap plus x tau nak makan macam mana. Then satu hari ni nurse ward 58 bawak mai satu beg letak kat kitchen, depa yg ajaq makan, terus jatuh cinta he3.. waktu tu baru lagi sampai NZ, back in 2007.Buah ni bentuk n saiz macam teloq ayam, ada yg besaq ada yg kecik, kira macam teloq ayam gred A, B, C la.Buah ni bermusim, time autumn saja ada

Rupa2 nya yg beli x sedap sebab buah ni kena tunggu dia luruh, kita kutip kat atas tanah, yg beli tu dia petik dan peram, tu yg x berapa manis

Cara makan pulak, belah dua macam gambar kat atas tu, then scoop out the soft fleshy middle part, yg tepi2 tu buang, kami pi hentam kopek kulit and makan macam tu saja..patut la x sedap he3..feijoa ni adik beradik jambu, tapi more aromatic..

Aiman and aliya suka sgt...alhamdullilah tahun ni murah rezeki depa, byk sungguh feijoa yg kami dapat..sampai ngilu gigi makan, sebab dia masam2 manis, will defo miss this fruit bila dah balik malaysia nanti..

Hasil rondaan petang tadi..

Antara benda tak berapa perlu yg diperolehi petang tadi adalah..

Wall decals untuk bilik aliya and aiman. Dah lama aim nak beli, nak hias bilik depa cantik2, nak menarik depa tidoq dalam tu la konon...beli sikit2, mula2 duvet cover. Selalu jumpa decals ni either terlalu mengikut 'theme' atau mahal sgt..malas la nka ikut theme sgt sebab, selalu theme dia either theme untuk 'girl' atau boy..tapi depa dua ni share bilik..susah sikit..

Decals ni beli kat Warehouse, kedai kegemaran masyarakat di sini..sebab barang2 dia murah heheh

Ni bilik depa setelah mummy and daddy gigih dok main pelekat-pelekat, gambaq kelam la pulak, sebab x pakai flash kot..curtain tu pun x matching, nantilah, ada rezeki lebih nanti nak pi cari curtain kaler kuning ka..sekarang ni dah makin sejuk, tu yg ada heater dok menyibuk tgh2 tu, bilik depa kami dah start on heater, our room belum lagi, still ok with just the electric blanket, tapi budak2 ni kesian pulak sebab asek dok keluaq dari duvet saja

Ni aiman punya side..123



Aliya punya side..ABC








Aiman kata tadi.."wow mummy..the wall looks really cool" Dia suka sgt2 la tu..Bila pasang aliya punya pulak, dgn broken englishnya dia kata "Aliya one's is only nice a little bit"

Kami rasa apa yg dia nak kata sebenaqnya adalah " It's nice, but mine is nicer" heheheh

Mummy..it's not BEN

Conversation with Aiman waktu dinner tadi...

Mummy: Aiman buat apa at school tadi?

Aiman: Play with my friends

Mummy: Ohh Aiman main dgn sapa? Yash? Sean? (Dua2 ni bestfriends Aiman kat daycare)

Aiman: Yeah..and I play with Ben too

Mummy: Ohh who's Ben? (jarang dgr aiman sebut nama Ben)

Aiman: Mummmmmyyyy it's not BEN, it's BIN

Mummy: ohhh BIN (trying her very best to pronounce it kiwi way..

Aiman: No mummy, BIN is for rubbish, it's BIN >>stressing the kiwi accent there..ntah kat mana yg lain pun x tau la

sampai sudah I cannot pronounce it they way it should be (according to Aiman lahh)

Kalau ikut kiwi accent ni, seven dia sebut sivin, ten depa sebut tin..So Ben bunyi macam Bin, tapi x la bunyi macam bin tong sampah tu..apa yg lain, x tau la pulak

Amaaaaaaaa..leep..amaaaaaaaa leep..

Apa tu??

Aiman..sleep -kata si aliya

Sejak pindah umah ni, kami try bg aliya n aiman tidoq asing, selama ni kalau tidak, berempit la kami 4 beranak tdq ataih katil queen yg di cantum dgn katil single, mmg tdq x nyenyak la sebab asek kena himpit dgn depa

sebelum ni, kami cantum2 dua2 katil single tu, sebab aiman x mau dok asing2 dgn adik dia, tapi since last fri, before easter weekend, they keep each other awake, dok bergelak ketawa, berguling gelantang bagai ataih katil tu..

so mummy pun tgh2 malam2 buta tu, geram punya pasai, bg la asing katil depa tu..

dah pulak dok lawan sembang..

si adik yg x reti sebut nama abg, dok kalut suruh abg 'leep', yg dia tu x leep pun

si abng pun jawab la.." I am sleeping"..hahahha...ntah apa2 la..




tapi..masuk ja pukui 3-4 pagi, aliya mesti magkit cari mummy, nak melepas gian, she is still breastfeeding, malam2 3-4 kli jaga, macam ada baby kecik saja..kalau hantaq balik bilik, sanggup dia tdq depan bilik kami, kesian la pulak, la dah nak sejuk dah.. :(

Tanam people to grow more people??

Benda ni jadi a few weeks back, tapi as usual, mummy x dan nak enter lam blog..

Normally lepas sembahyang maghrib, kami ajaq anak2 mengaji, aliya dok belek2 surah yassin, aiman pulak was browsing buku indahnya hidup bersyariat

This book was given to us by my PIL,a very good book IMO, very informative

Dalam buku tu ada tunjuk gambar cara2 menyempurnakan jenazah, aiman dok tanya macam2, so I tried my best to explain the pictures to him, ada tunjuk cara2 mandi mayat, kafan etc

Bila sampai tang nak kebumi, I said la lepas tu kena tanam, belum habis sempat lagi explain pasaipa kena tanam, aiman terus kata, 'to grow more people?'

hmm..sebab kami rajin berkebun, we have a veggie garden, so he knows the concept, tanam sayur, to grow more veggies etc..so he thought, tanam mayat, to grow more people la...

budak2, so innocent...

I highly reccommend the book to average family like us, esp those oversea yg susah nak ke majlis pengisian agama

Lost of momentum

Adoila..since my last entry yg malas nak study tu..I haven't studied at all!!!!!!!!
So lack of momentum laa..
Rasanya sebab seminggu cuti dok umah jaga aiman and aliya yg kena chicken pox,so I wasn't in the working mode, tu yg rasa I have no drive to study tu..rasa pandai hahahhaha

Kalau pi kerja, dapat patient macam2, ada yg I can solve ada yg dak, so from there barula terserlah my inadequecy, baru la rasanya keperluan untuk study tu

Ni esok I'm going to Sexual Health Clinic,baru nak terhegeh2 bukak buku baca...

Alhamdulillah both kids dah recover from CP. Aiman especially. Dia punya CP x teruk sgt, x teruk lgsg actually.He just had a few spots here and there saja, gatal2 pun sat saja,overal he was unwell for about 24hrs. Tapi yg kesian aliya, baaaaaaaaaaanyakkkkkkkk sgt vesicles dia.She was literally covered with vesicles. She got it EVERYWHERE. In her ears,on her back,trunk,legs,arms,face,neck, between her natal cleft,genital areas.She was unwell for the whole week. She scratches away non stop,poor thing :( And now she has the scabs all over her body and she keeps scratching the scabs :(

Poxy poxy poxy..calamine lotion party

Chicken pox in da house! Both Aiman and Aliya jangkit from Cu, my SIL. Abih la satu Lollipop, daycare Aiman kena nanti, sure depa kata Aiman la yg bawak sebab dia yg 1st kena heheheh

Sure org igt local virus, sebab ada jugak kes kat Hamilton ni, depa x tau VZ ni mai dari Malaysia angkut naik dgn kapai terbang hehehe

Since Aiman sure dah sah2 x leh pi daycare, makanya..esok lusa tulat and maybe tungging jugak, x leh la mummy pi kja..

Alhamdullilah, depa dua OK, cuma gatai2 saja. Tapi nak bg makan phenergan (promethazine) depa x mau, nak ubat pink saja ie paracetamol, even bila mix dgn paracetamol pun depa x mau, phenergan ada after taste sikit rasanya, tapi mummy makan sedap sajaaaaaaaaa heheheh

Nursery rhymes

I am not familiar with English nursery rhymes as my mum never sang them to me, in fact I can't recall even her singing malay rhymes with us.I know just the very common ones like twinkle twinkle little star, london bridge and old macdonald. I went to Tadika Kemas kat kampung, so again, no English nursery rhymes..so when my son started coming home and asking me to sing along with him..I had to learn all the songs..plus last year when I was on maternity leave,I took him to the playcentre and the playgroup sessions at our local library. I will post some our favourites that we long singing together


Incy wincy spider

Incy wincy spider climbed out the water spout
Down came the rain and washed poor incy out
Out came the sunsine and dried up all the rain
So incy wincy spider climbed the spout again

1,2,3,4,5

One..two..three,four, five
Once I caught a fish alive
Six..seven..eight, nine,ten
Then I let him go again

Why did you let him go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger on my right

Row,row,row your boat

Row, row,row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merilly,merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream

The wheel on the bus

The wheel on the bus go round and round, round and round,round and round
The wheel on the bus go round and round, all through town

The wiper on the bus go swish swish, swish swish,swish
The wiper on the bus go swish swish swish, all through town

Repeat and substitute with anything we can imagine..I love this song, really fun

The conductor on the bus says ticket please, ticket please, ticket please
The passenger on the bus stand up sit down, stand up sit down, stand up sit down
The baby on the bus cry waaa waaa waaa, waaa waa waa, waaa
The granny on the bus goes knit knit knit, knit knit knit, knit knit knit
The mommy on the bus goes chatter chatter chatter, chatter chatter chatter, chatter chatter chatter
The driver on the bus says move along please

Sometimes I'll replace it with Aiman on the bus picks his nose/stand up sit down/whatever I could think of, and he hates it :)


Head,shoulder knees and toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes and eyes
and ears
and mouth
and nose
head,shoulders,knees and toes



5 little ducks

WHen I 1st heard this song, I don't like it actually, I found it boring, then it grew on me and Aiman love it

5 little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck says 'quack quack quack'
But only 4 little ducks came back

Repeat with each time reducing the number of ducks that went swimming and those that came back

the last one, when mother duck says 'quack quack quack'

All 5 little ducks came back

Will write more when I have time
