(What! Last post in March 2010? Darn.. )

It’s been a hectic year I would say.. For all of 4 us.. being thousand miles apart is definitely hard for everybody.. for the past almost six months, skype, gtalk connect us together.. Jr & little Miss have all grown up, thanks to lovely Mrs.. he reads a lot nowadays, facebook & gtalk-enabled.. she is getting bubbly and bubblier.. plus diaperless now.. (although few (or many) accidents every now and then.. opps)..

A two weeks visit back in May definitely not enough.. everyone is dying to get back together.. (here, there, anywhere) hopefully, insyaallah.. *watch this space* wink! ;)

One of Faeq’s classmate detected with H1N1 and his class was closed until further notice.. bored at home, he’s looking for someone to play with..

Jr : Daddy.. do you have to go to work today..
Me : Yes i do..
Jr : But I want to play with you some more..
me : Later at night we can play..
Jr : Erm.. how about if you are sick?
Me : But I’m not sick..
Jr : How about if you PRETEND you are sick, so you dont have to go to office..

hmmmm… I blamed the Toks..

After a series of scolding, shouting, sulking and crying.. Faeq said “Daddy.. I dont want to friend with you!!”.. I asked him why.. he said.. “Because u always marah-marah at me.. I dont want to friend you..”

So I slow talked to him.. “Dear, the reason I scolded you is simply because I love you.. If you did something wrong, off course I’ll scold you.. If I don’t love you, I’ll just let you do anything.. even when you do bad things.. I never scold you without any reason..”

He accepted my words and we made up, and we are best-bud again, as always..

**************************************************************

Days later, Faeq did something naughty and I had to scold him.. raised my voice.. however this time, instead of crying and sulking, he smiled guiltlessly..

“What are you smiling about??? I’m very mad at you.. I told you dont make me angry.. DO YOU LIKE ME ANGRY??”

“You love me, kan?..”

“HUH!???”.. I said, confused..

“Last time you said, you were angry because you love me.. Now that you are angry, means you love me lar.. thats why I smiled..”

Haiya!! and Daddy immediately didn’t have the appetite to scold..

and he is using that killer-phrase since then.. unlucky for me, it works every time!!

She already fast asleep when you were about to go to bed..
at night she curled under your arm, for the warmness..
she was still asleep in the morning; even after you carried her in and out of the car for a routine morning drive..
when you put her back to bed, she slightly opened her eyes and smiled..
Knew that somebody was around, she continued her journey to her dreamland..
and you were powerless to wake her up after that killing smile..

Unwearyingly you waited outside..
a couple of hours later you began to worry..
but suddenly, you heard a little sweet voice.. ‘Haaaaai….’
and followed by ‘Daaaa-dy..’ (Read: Da-dy not Day-dy)..
made your heart melt, totally!!

she opened her arms, begging for your hugs..
you carried her up.. asking her for a kiss in return..
and then.. spontaneously she replied with a firm answer..
‘NO!!’

thats when your melted heart broken into pieces..

Adam came for a visit today during just before I’m off to work.

He asked me.. “Where do you work ABANG Zen”

I was a bit hesitated to answer, so I said.. “ermm.. at Bukit Jalil.. do you know where is it?”

Then Jr came and said.. “I know.. I know.. You’re working at ‘A**n’, right?>”..

I was stunned for a moment.. Speechless.. Impressed.. I never really tell him which company do I work with..

so I asked him “EH! How do you know?”

He simply replied.. “I heard la…”

Heh.. thats my 4+ year-old-boy who makes my blood go upstairs every time I teach him spelling..

Kids.. they’ll remember what they want to remember..

During one of balik kampung get together with Pak Ngah and Mak Ngah, Jr co-created a role-playing game with his cousins Durrah & Sarah.. he became the Dad, Durrah be the mum; Sarah be the son (don’t ask me why.. however after a while they changed Sarah’s character to Daughter) and Nayla be the little baby..

The Bossy dad will come back from work.. ask mum to cook.. eat together etcetera.. etcetera..

Today the girls again came for a visit.. and as always they played mum & dad.. but this time, they (or probably just him) involved me in as well.. as the OLD man!!

Hey hello!! I’m still in my 20s ok!

ps: DARN!!!! Do I have to shave everyday?

It was the second time I caught Jr while he’s alone in the shower..

Me : Hey! why did you put hair shampoo on you armpit?
Jr : I just want my ketiak (sometimes he says Kelitak) to grow hair like you..

Duhhh! what’s so special bout that??????

I ermm, We always been dreaming our kids to be multi lingual.. not just basic Bahasa n English, but more if possible.. Mrs loves European languages; French, Spanish, Italian etc while I like Oriental; Mandarin, Japanese etc..

We don’t want to push him though cause afraid he might be confused. However at the age of 4+, I think Jr can already differentiate which is which.. His Kindie is English based, Bahasa and Mandarin classes also available..

Last night, after went back from Mama’s, it was still early for lights off.. so we allowed 30 minutes TV for the kids.. as I was flipping the channel from Nayla’s favourite 556 to Faeq’s fave 616; Faeq stopped me at 611.. Ultraman Gaia was on..

Not that I don’t like the channel, but I think the translation is a bit dodgy.. so I changed the audio language.. but there’s only Japanese.. kewl, i thought..

Few secs later Faeq stood up, he turned up the TV volume.. tried to catch what was the character saying..

Then he asked me..

Faeq : Why it is different? Just now it was bahasa?
Daddy : Oh, this is Japanese.. you like the language?
Faeq : Yeah I like
Daddy : Later we can send you to Japanese class.. Or probably we can ask Uncle Kadir or Uncle Nizar to teach you.. They can speak Japanese.. You know both of them, right?
Faeq : Yeah.. but I think I want Uncle Ultraman…

Isk isk isk.. Mana aku nak carik uncle ultraman nih..

The One With PPSMI

Quoted from The Star

Decision on teaching Maths, Science in English by month’s end (Updated)
By SIMON KHOOand KAREN CHAPMAN

KUANTAN: A decision on whether to continue teaching Mathematics and Science in English is expected to be reached by the end of this month.

Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the Cabinet would make a final decision after gathering all the feedback from the relevant agencies and other ministries.

Frankly I think, the idea of teaching Math and Science in English is very good. Perhaps somewhere somehow the implementation wasn’t as supposed.. Understood that some which may not even be a majority are really pushing for it but I am totally against of flip(flop)ing back BM.. However improving the implementation is a must to avoid future generation from lacking behind..

*************************************************************************************

At night, Jr was on sugar-rush after a visit from his cousins from seremban earlier that evening.. jumping up and down on the bed.. mummy couldnt stand it any longer and began her infamous counting..

Mummy : “You better go to sleep now before I count to ten!! Masuk tido! SAAA-TU!!!”

Heh.. Do you think that’ll work on this Cheeky little boy???

Prolly in his mind : (Lalalalala.. Tomorrow don’t have school.. lalalalalalala.. Mummy wanna count? I can count also)
Jr : SATU… DUA…. TIGA… EMPAT…. (long pause).. SATU… DUA…. TIGA… EMPAT..
Daddy & Mummy : (puzzled)

Jr : Errrr.. Daddy.. what’s FIVE?????

Ouch!!!

We, strongly support PPSMI!!
