Blog Resolutions

I never believe in New Year's resolution.. coz it always stays that way. Most of the time. So to me, there's no such thing as making resolution during new year. I can make it anytime.. just that most of the time, it happens around new years's time. Coz that's about time when we're the most busy and also had more time at home since either we had to finish off leaves, or had to take leaves from work to take care of errands at home, mostly for the kids. I think I am rambling nonsense here.. sorry!

ok, anyway... in the past few months since my last update .. I always had ideas coming on, on what I should write and what I want to write on my blog but most of the time, it stays there on my head:) I guess that's what happen with many people ... but I figure I should have a list of reference that I can refer to anytime I get the mood to write on what i should write .. so, friends, if you read this entry, and feel that you had interest in the following topics, do vote in the comment. Then, i will give a priority to write that topic first :)

1) Hotels that I have been to while traveling for work or vacation-- this should include pictures of the rooms (if I took any), comment on the facilities that I tried and its surrounding. Any other useful info that I can remember
2) The airports in Malaysia that I've been to (state airport)- what's in that airport and some other probably useful information either for my reference if ever I had to go back there..
3) Alif's First Week in School
4) Aina's PMR experience with IQKL -- from before, during and while taking the results
5) Photobook? the ones that I have made - references and my experience
6) More on Alif's? He seems the one to have most event among the kids! -- his 6th birthday in Salsabiila, the Sports Day...
7) Line Dancing .. (ha ha - my passion)
8) My house renovation experience
9) Anis's book that I never make the time to read ..

This should be enough for now.. maybe will take me more than a year to write all these...

Life Update

There's so many topics for me to blog but until now .. you know la. I want to continue the story of my life pun tak terbuat. Anyway...here's some update

1) Its almost 3 months now .. Kak Su, my live-in helper will be returning from her hometown this Sunday night. Semoga Allah permudahkan. Can't believe that I had survived without a helper for almost 3 months already. Of course, most of the housework was done DH, but hey, I did my share too... I was gonna blog about what happen when she wants to go back to Indonesia about 3 months ago, it was kinda funny. Maybe I will, much much later...

2) Aina has finished her PMR. And is now back in her school in IQKL, Taman Tun. She extended her PMR leaves for another week by banging her feet and broke her nail :( I can still hear her scream in the clinic when the Dr gave her the anaesthetic shot on her 2nd toes. It was 4 shots, I think. She got to continue with her Hafazan, the last 'tasmik' was 5 or 6 months ago. Her request to learn Japanese language during the weekend has been rejected by DH .. the time is not suitable.

3) Anis is having her final exam now. She has been so so.. into the Korean language. Unfortunately there is no class available for her. I taught her a bit, then she took my book, and my dictionary and then continue learning the language online. Hmm... her interest in studying has reduced a bit though she did claimed that she studied, enough. We'll see. We need to get her transfers to SAMTAJ next year, and this final year exam result is one of the tool to get her accepted , if she does well....

4) Ahmad... still get hungry soon after meal. He needs to lose weight, much more now so that he can be faster while playing soccer. Favourite past time now. Soccer in PS2, soccer shows in TV, soccer everyday after school and now we send him to soccer club every Sunday. It is run by ex-Malaysian player, very dedicated group of coaches, teach out of interest. Now, he wants to alternate his Tae Kwan Do with soccer instead of taking on the TaeKwanDo at different center. We don't want him to stop now .. he's doing so well in TaeKwanDo - red belt now. Study wise - he asked for Math tuition pulak. He's already on BM and Science. BM because he needs it, Science because he likes it. He was ok on his own with Maths, but lately ni, dah menurun prestasi dia. Anyway, I told him I'll think about it, plus I don't know any Math teacher yet for him. He didn't manage to get highest score in final exam this year and had in passing said, "tak payah la pergi Ihtifal this year"... much to his Kakak's dissapointment.

5) Alif .. we just talked with his Taska teachers yesterday. Anak manja tu.. He has shown tremendous improvement in the 2nd half of the year, but he is still slow to pick up new lessons. More because of focus -suka khayal. Main feedback was .. he needs a one to one lesson to excel. His good friends are mostly kids that are nice, no troublemakers. Almost never got punished for any wrong doings, and most of the time speak English in school and keep reminding his friends to speak English. So much so, that he had problems with his Bahasa. Well, speaking is not much of a problem, more on the grammar. He did direct translation in some phrases. Did not know Mango and Grapes in Bahasa and had his sentences arrange wrongly.... one funny thing that i recall, he spelt "daun" as "dawun" - that's how he pronounce "daun" anyway. At 6, masih pelat a little bit when he speaks in Bahasa.
