Why Maybank should give me tickets to Legoland

Salam,

 Well, it all started about 3 months ago. I was having this intention of experimenting whether a child can memorize surah2 from the Holy Quran. So I thought, why shouldn't I start on my son, AZA who is only 5?

 What I did was just let him listen to me recite the surah first, then stressed on the sequence of the ayat, and then let him tried. Once he got all the pronunciation right, he next moved to recite the whole surah, under my observation, corrected him along the way...Mind you, I know I was quite firm with him on this sometime, because Insya Allah this will make him memorize better.

 These steps were done mostly everyday, on our way back home after picking him up from his school. Yup, it's true everything must be done consistently, so we did this everyday without fail. Spent about 10 mins for this, and the rest, we just talked, sang out loud of the music played in the radio.

 To add on that, incentive works well, too. I've spoken to some of his teachers, and they said it's fine to attract children with incentives for anything they'll be doing. I told him if he can memorize 5 surahs, I would bring him to National Zoo. And he did it, Alhamdulillah (fyi, my son is yet to read Muqaddam or Quran, just went for Iqra' lessons). Then the next time he was asking for more. So the conversations went like this: 

Me:      If 7 surahs, I'll bring you to Sunway Lagoon.
AZA:   Yeay, Sunway Lagoonnnnnn....
Me:      OK, next is 10 surahs...
AZA:   Haaa? 10? Banyak sangat tu...
Me:     Takpe, kerana Allah. You want to know where you are going when you got 10?
AZA:   No, where mommy?
Me:     To Universal Studios, Singapore.
AZA:   Yeay, Singapore!!!

 Alhamdulillah, he has now memorized 10 surahs. And I haven't fulfilled my promise yet (not good, Roz. Don't do it again!) We plan to go to Singapore in December, when I got my 'bonus', Insya Allah... but this happened on the day Legoland opened to public.

AZA:    Mommy, saya taknak pegi Universal Studios. Saya nak pegi Legoland je lah!
Me:      Huh? Kenapa pulak?
AZA:   Sebab Legoland dalam Malaysia, Universal Studios dekat Singapore, jauh! Lagipon kita kan rakyat  Malaysia?

 That's Why Maybank Should Give Me Tickets to Legoland... in support of my son's patriotism spirit.

My Place

Assalam, I have moved to a new place, for almost 2 months now. Alhamdulillah. Well, it's not as big as the house that we rented for 5 years. But I'm glad, that all the hard work, the blood and the sweat that I've endured here in this org is finally paid off. This house is the proof, Alhamdulillah. I've personally designed the entire deco... ntah laaa.. cantik ke tidak pon tak tau laa... But I am one happy person in this house, together with my bayang2... ;)

He's Married!

Assalam... Alhamdulillah, my mom is one happy mom now. All her children are already married. Last Friday (1 June 2012), my youngest brother got married to his sweetheart. And yes, whether to call this something convenient, all her daughters and son in- law is within KL... no traveling... To MRR, selamat pengantin baru. May Allah grant you both happiness now and hereafter. Amin...

Berhijrah di 2012

Assalam... Alhamdulillah, we moved to a new place last Sunday. Was a quick decision, considering we have yet to install curtains at that place, but MAM insisted since the place is 90% ready. (malas nak bayar tambahan duit sewa pon ye jugak)... so we hired movers... just need to separate stuffs to bring and what not... when they arrived, they packed, disassembled the curtain rods, lampu yg saya rasa cantik, tapi dah tak berapa nak cantik sebenarnya, and all those countless treasures... wuishhh, banyak sebenarnya!!! at the new place, they placed those big furniture at the designated places, and those boxes were located at its specified locations... now my job started, literally. Unpack, second filtration (what to dispose, give away or keep)... penatnya Masya Allah... and as of today, I can only consider my kitchen is done... tu pon mak aihhh jenuhnya! the bigger challenge is next... to scrutinize the clothings, of 3 people, me, MAM and AZA... buat sendiri punya pon berpeluh ketiak sebelum ni, imagine that additional 2 person... tu tak kira berbulu bijik mata kalau I want to throw that particular baju, and MAM insisted to keep as it has a memory of it... (ehhh, tu I laaa, semua nak simpan, dia yg berbulu sama I) heheheh... but yeah, I have to, kalau tak, memang boleh consider hoarders laaa I ni... but anyway, I'm happy... once and for all, it's our place that we can call home. All this while, menyewa rumah orang... rumah sendiri pon disewakan... Alhamdulillah... and I'm glad my son likes it, although AZA keep asking us our next house should be a condo, not a bungalow. Reason: lps apartment is condo, cannot langkah to a bungalow straight away... hahaha... kayuh pelan2 laa tu maksud dia...
