Caca Marba: Jom Baca Surah Al-Kahfi (setiap Hari Jumaat) !
Caca Marba: Jom Baca Surah Al-Kahfi (setiap Hari Jumaat) !: Betapa banyak orang lalai dari amalan yang satu ini ketika malam Jum’at atau hari Jum’at, yaitu membaca surat Al Kahfi. Atau mungkin sebagi...
Papa's Morning Routine
Kerja saya pagi pagi, selain menyiapkan diri untuk pergi kerja, adalah untuk menyiap TP1 and TP2. TP stands for Tuan Puteri. Nak bangunkan diorang dan siapkan diorang persis tuan puteri. Dua dua susah nak bangun pagi. Biasalah tu. Arissa, TP1, senang sikit nak bangun tapi dia punya tantrum (you should check my YouTube. I video recorded her morning tantrums), memang pening kepala di buat nya. Tapi saya tahulah, itu hanya morning tantrum. So, I just let it be. Lepas dia dah mandi dan siap, an apology will be heard from her. So, I don't take her tantrum seriously. In fact, saya seronok nak sakat dia. The louder the tantrum, the more amusement I get.
TP2, Aryana, is the hardest. Memang susah nak bangun pagi. Tantrum dia tak sehebat Arissa. Tapi susah nak bangun. I prefer listening to Arissa's tantrum rather than nak go through the effort nak kejut kan Aryana. So, desperate measures have to be taken. I use my secret weapon, the water spray bottle. Works every time and like a charm. At least that, got her attention. Bangun tidor is one thing, making her way to the bathroom is another.
TP1 and TP2 bersiap depan TV. Pros and Cons. The pro, saya boleh siapkan diorang cepat. The cons, kalau diorang siap diri sendiri, mata kat TV, tangan nak pakai kain/baju dan semuanya bergerak dalam keadaan slow-mo. But it is okay, at least I got to do some work done, angkat beg letak kat the right side of the backseat. The girls seat on the left side. Bila turun senang. Turun kan beg dulu dan baru girls turun.
Because of ALL that. Arissa dan Aryana HARI HARI lambat. End of the year convocation, kalau ada award the MOST LATE STUDENT, no doubt and I guarantee, Arissa and Aryana will be co-winners.

Arissa's Reading Project
Arissa is 6 years old this year and she can already read and write. Thanks to Dzuliman, she is already ahead of her class. As I am typing this entry, Adelia is bugging me with her antics. I wanted Arissa to love books and I can see that she does. Just like any other children of her age, she needs to be motivated. Don't we all. So, we started this Dania's Reading Project. At first, we wanted to include Aryana but to me personally, Aryana is just 4. Let Aryana be Aryana at the moment.
The idea of Dania's Reading Project is to motivate her by awarding a star for each book that read. The stars are then accumulated until it reaches to a certain amount before she can claim her prize. We set the number of stars to 6. So far, she has claimed her first prize, which is a trip to Toys R Us. After that, she has done a couple of readings but then it just dies off.
In order to track her progress, a chart is posted on the wall. The 6 stars on the wall is confirmed. It is the stars after that which I lost track of. So, I figure we need to restart this initiative. Today, Arissa managed to finish reading a story titled Anak Sang Kerbau Berjasa. I personally asked her questions about the story. I just want to ensure that she understood the story and are able to recall events mentioned in the story. The only question that she is unable to answer is regarding the moral of the story. She needs help with that. Moral? What kids know about moral, ethics and the like. If they know all that, all kids in this world will be well behaved and we know that is impossible. I think she reads the story because she just wants to read it. May be she enjoys having the ability to spell the words and pronounce it. That is already an effort.
I put up Arissa's Reading Log on Google Drive.
Keep up the good work Arissa!

Grooming A Lil' MasterChef...
* 18 th March 2012 *
..it was the school holiday...and yet, mama had to plan some positive activities for the girls to participate..and lucky for mama that she found out about this one class for moms and kids together in baking cupcakes...yes, that surely sounded interesting..since Arissa also looks like she's interested in this kinda thing..meaning, in cooking..
at first mama thought, just wanted to bring Arissa alone..but knowing Aryana, she surely wants to follow wherever her kakak goes...especially if she knows that the activities are somehow fun to her..so..mama registered both Arissa and Aryana, together with mama in the cupcakes baking and decorating class organized by Laura & Daddy's Macarons ...
the class was conducted at the owner's house..somewhere in Kota Damansara..it was quite easy to find the place, though...and the class started at 11am..and we were the first group to arrive..out of 3 groups..yes it was quite a small group..lucky for us that we get some extra attention compared if they have a big group in the class...
the class started off well...mama is glad to see that Arissa and Aryana enjoyed the class..especially Arissa..because she got to participate in almost all steps in the baking process..and she did well..Aryana also did well..(not to mention about the drama before the class..everyone was a bit tired before the class..so they were a bit grumpy..but luckily when we got to the class...they were okay...)
oohhh well, we also managed to taste "Laura & Daddy's Macarons" red velvet cake (which was super yummy) and their choc cupcakes (the Danias enjoyed the cupcakes very much..memang indulge abis laaa the cupcakes)...
yes..we will surely participate in other classes..if we get the chance, insyallah..mama is trying to find a dish cooking class for the Danias...and the "Laura & Daddy's Macarons" 's owner said that they may organize a cookies baking class someday (which we hope to join)...
---- pictures will be included later, yeah ----------

( 4th March 2012 )
..marks arissa's first job in acting..haha..as if...
naahhh..not so big as like becoming the next "mia sara" (currently famous child-star)...but it was like arissa's first experience in acting..even so..just for a student's final year project of some sort of a courseware...yes, at least we exposed her to all possible different kinda things that she can get..maybe along the line...she'll know what are her strengths..and in a way..to bulid her confidence..especially when dealing with adults and other people than her parents or relatives...
walaupun, mula-mula tu arissa macam malu-malu and kekok...even the kakak-kakak and the abang-abang pun macam kekok, tak tau macam mana nak treat or attract arissa to loosen down and get warm to them..memang macam kelakar je tengok all the abang-abang, especially the kakak-kakak trying to borak-borak ngan arissa..they even offered her the M&M (currently arissa's fav choc)..awal2 lagi dah di offer chocolate..tapi arissa macam tak termakan dengan all the choc tu..she still malu-malu and senyap je...
but they did continue with the scenes..and it turned out arissa did quite well..mama and papa are so proud of you, arissa..walaupun dengan muka arissa yang sangat serious tu..but we were glad that the kakak and the abang were happy to have their job done..and that we were glad that we got to help them...
here are few pictures throughout the day..which started off at about 10am..and ended almost at 1pm...
