kisah amir hazeem bin hairuzzamil

amir hazeem ni membesar atas asuhan beberapa individu.

bila dia awal2 bercakap dulu, dia suka sebut , 'bibik, BIKIN susu untuk hazeem' --- 'mama, kita nak naik SAWAT terbang ke?'
--- nyata nya itu semua pengaruh bibik.

lepas tu dia suka baca buku Pictionary yang aku belikan untuk dia 'A... Apple. B... Ball ....(and so on) ...E ...tolo (negeri sembilan pronounciation for telur - E is for Egg)
--- ini lak pengaruh atuk ngan wan dia

hazeem ni memang suka melepas kentut dia in a 'loud' and 'proud' way. dan burp pun skrg dah meletup je!
--- ini ada part bapak dia and mak dia (ehehhehe....)

since kecik, he loves Bob the Builder dan mostly toys dia adalah crane atau apa2 machine berkaitan construction.
--- ini lak pengaruh his arwah moyang kelantan, who was a successful contractor. and my family who mostly are engineers.

he loves songs. apa2 lagu je memang laju dia nyanyi.
--- budak mana la tak suka lagu kan? kan?

apa yang aku perasan dia ni very logical and technical person. bagi la apa2 utk direpair ke di construct ke insyaallah dia leh wat. and being logical thinker, dia tanya aku, 'ma, kita nak pegi open house? are u sure? open house ke in the house? kalau opne house kita duk luar je, kalau in the house dapat la masuk dalam.... mana satu ni?'
--- part auta cam ni, aku rasa mmg aku bersalah :-p

tapi, dia membaca agak slow. he knows the alphabet tapi dia cukup tak confident nak mengeja. even tho sometimes he knows. itu yang aku heran skit.

because of that, dia tak lepas interview sekolah private agama, Al-Amin KL. so aku merayu la memandangkan markah maths excellent, markah hafazan doa dan prob solving pun marbeles. yang hancus semua part2 spelling, tak kira la malay ke english ataupun jawi.

and lepas interview about more than a month ago, i can see his spelling improves a lot! thanks to his kindi teacher.

so, after merayu...tadi hubby dpt call, hazeem dpt masuk al-amin! alhamdullilah...tak terbayang betapa leganya kami. it is a good school and yang penting budak2 nya so far aku tgk berakhlak bagus. sebab nya sepupu2 hazeem dah 2 org kat situ, both are excellent students and bab agama solat ni memang harus dipuji.

hazeem, mama really hope you will excel in this school. and don't worry or be afraid for mama and abah will always be there to hold your hand. until the day you are brave enough to walk on your own, which we are sure that wont be too long from today :)

apa corak yang kita lakarkan?

tadi aku dgr ikim.fm. topic menarik so i continued listening, despite the hingar bingar coming from my two sons at the back of the car.

topic?
aku tak sure exactly topic nya but the discussion was on why anak2 muda zaman skrg ni cepat melatah bila menghadapi dugaan. betapa nipisnya iman mereka kadang2 org gertak pasal islam dia dah ntah ke mana2. kadang2 cakap beriya2 pasal islam tapi penampilan diri tidak menampil keperibadian seseorang muslim.

toksah nak cakap byk...kdg2 aku pun tergolong gak dlm statistik tersebut. insyaallah aku sedar kat mana kelemahan aku and aku cuba yang terbaik (fuhh..) utk jadi better. and yang penting, anak2 aku pun membesar menjadi seorang yang berani tampil kehadapan dijalan Allah ni.

kata penceramah tu, mintak maaf la aku tak kenal siapa dia, if org dulu2, sanggup berjuang kerana Islam.nak tengok jauh lagi? sahabat2 nabi sampai kan malu andai kata ajalnya diatas katil - umpama nya sahabt2 lain ajal di medan pertempuran tapi dia di tempat yang empuk selesa.

katanya lagi, berjuang dizaman skrg ni tak bermaksud kita berperang saja. if takde sebab jgn la gi bom sana sini. nanti lagi orang anti Islam. byk cara.

penulisan.
lagu.
filem.
persahabatan.

contohnya, Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, a prominent american converted to Islam when he was a teenager, he is now in his early 50s rasanya. masa incident 9/11, he was among the first to visit US President nak bagitau Islam ni bukan terrorist. and he likes to portray Islam ni as something approachable and peaceful. bukan ganas gaduh2.

tapi, if we were provoked, of course la we have to defend ourselves. kot dayus lak jadi nya.

most of us skrg are born Muslim. so ada segelintir yang cinta pada Islam agak tipis. aku pun masih berusaha menebalkan keimanan aku. alhamdulillah, jodoh aku pulak jenis yang kuat ke arah kehidupan Islam ni. moga2 hidayah tu sentiasa terbuka utk aku dan anak2 serta keluarga aku.

since aku ada 2 boys, aku sangat berharap they will be great Muslim leaders. insyaallah... so tugas aku memberi didikan sempurna towards that aim. kalau sendiri perangai jelek, mana nak anak perangai senonoh... :D bak kata org tua2, tgk la acuan nya (ye tak? )

blood go upstairs? can always come down :D

kadang2 bila melayan karenah anak2 ni, either you successfully handled them, or they successfully handled you by making your blood go upstairs or sometimes menitik air mata pun boleh jadi gak.

so, aku selalu gak try carik apa cara terbaik nak handle budak2 ni. altho sometimes aku rasa anak2 aku ni not that misbehaved, and surprisingly sometimes they behave better than other kids. and today aku came across one website, which i found very useful.

"We've all seen them: the out-of-control toddler hurling handfuls of sand at the park; the whiny-voiced 3-year-old begging for candy in the grocery line; the sassy 7-year-old yelling "you can't make me!" at the restaurant.

And we've privately dissed their parents, reassuring ourselves that we'd never be such a wimp if our child was terrorizing the playground or disrupting everyone's dinner.

But then it happens: the massive meltdown that takes you completely by surprise. And suddenly you are that parent — the one flailing to figure out what to do. The truth is, every child presents discipline challenges at every age, and it's up to us to figure out how to handle them.

Why is discipline such a big dilemma? Because it feels like a tightrope act. On one side there's the peril of permissiveness — no one wants to raise a brat. On the other side there's the fear of over-control — who wants to be the hardliner raising cowed, sullen kids?

What we need is a comfortable middle ground to ensure that our little ones grow up to be respectful, caring, and well behaved." ....
read more on types of misbehaviour and how to handle them on this website


it is a very good piece and most of the writing i found very relatively true and logic.

worth the read!

rocky made in malaysia

tadi aku tgh breakfast ngan little harith kat area pertama kompleks. sambil lepak2 tu anak aku suka la tegu itu ini...excited minum kat luar. dpt tgk air pancut la, komuter la, lrt la, motor la...

tgh duk melepak tu skali anak aku mcm excited tunjuk somethg kat seberang jalan. melompat2 si harit excited. aku pun tinjau la apa benda nya...skali aku nampak Rocky tgh prektis kat seberang jalan i.e. bangunan Mara. sibuk tul dia prektis punching kat tiang lampu tu. siap main loncat2 lagi. lepas tu nak cross jalan. nasib baik ada kereta byk so tak jadi. aku risau gak kot2 Rocky tu jadi excited, dtg KO kan sesapa tgh breakfast kang naya. siap pakai topi plastik merah tu (plastik yg kita beli makanan tu) ikat ke belakang. berkaki ayam. berseluar trek berbaju windbreaker. style sunggoh... hahahhaha....

excited anak aku tgk org tu tanpa segan silu meloncat2 sambil mengacu acukan penumbuknya. alahai...mesti dia terpikir, aku ingat kan aku je syok melompat, ada gak org lain...

semoga allah menjaga kebajikan Rocky Malaysia tersebut. selamat hari raya....

bali

i went to bali with my previous employer, Jones Lang Wootton in 2005.  i already had my first son, so anak tinggal sama abah la..

it was fun. of course la, duduk hotel 5star kat Nusa Dua, an elite hotels area in Bali. the view of beaches in Bali is breathtaking. memang cantik. and the temples, even tho kita bukannya nak gi temple but to view the beautiful scenery... location on hills with lakes memang awesome.

shopping? toksah cakap la.... barang2 sangat cantik, and i did drop by at an Uluwatu boutique in Kuta. a bit cheaper than in Malaysia. tapi the ugly part of the trip was kalau kita tak careful, diorg kelentong idup2 je. kita bagi duit sekian sekian, dia kata kita kasik less. tangan laju je sorok duit yang kita dah kasik. luckily i was with a group of loud friends, so diorg memang nampak the amount yang aku kasik tu, paksa org butik tu bukak laci dia and there was the money. chet! selamat duit aku...

shopping ni kena rajin browse. rajin berjalan from one shop to another. and my friend was more interested in paintings. aku tak minat (actually duit cukup2 beli baju je...hahahah).

lepas tu, ada lak trip sunset dinner atas cruise boat. perghhh... naik2 je bot tu ada welcome complimentary drinks. ada member aku tak perasan gi amik lak cocktail drinks yg ada alcohol.lepas tu dah merah padam muka, ingatkan mabuk laut rupanya mabuk betul! hahahaha..

it was fun but it will be more fun if my hubby and sons were with me.

so tahun ni, kami mencatu uwang dan akhirnya dapat la kumpul duit skit utk trip ke bali. yeeehaaa!!! bila? bulan depan. thank god pasport dapat buat only rm100 hhiihihi... jimat skit duit. but for the kids, they charge rm150 for 5 years. so baik angkat 5 years terus.

so....nanti kan post on bali bulan depan ahaksahaks ahaks!!

the wonder of you by elvis presley

i have always been known as a person who loves oldies, classic!

even a friend commented that i may be wrongly born in the wrong era (hahaha...funny, derk)

today i feel like sharing this song by the King, Elvis Presley. oohh...i loooove this song, among others :D
if i am not mistaken, lagu ni he dedicated to his beloved wife, Priscilla  Presley. biasala,  manusia mudah lupa.elvis masa tu of course la dikelilingi  his ladies' fans (nasib baik masa tu aku lom  ada).  high infidelity (wink wink)

but his love to Priscilla was too strong (lelaki ni selalunya bila kantoi baru teringat sayang kat wife -kan?kan?)

so he dedicated this beautiful song to her.sedih if tengok beriya2 dia nyanyi masa concert tu. masa tu 70's kot... dia pun dah not in good shape, depression maybe. same goes to 'you were always on my mind'....

well, for those with passion and affection, feeling lovey dovey today?? ...enjoy the song - lyrics and melody.
andai dipisah...lagu dan irama...

nama anak

bukan senang nak nama kan zuriat kita.

boleh jadi gaduh. isu besar antara husband and wife. lagi parah kalau mertua or parents masuk campur skali...dia pun nak contribute. if contribute je takpe, ada nak dictate lak... aduhai...(nasib baik aku nye takde campor2 ni).

dua2 anak aku, aku n hubby pilih sendiri. proses nya takde la susah nau. cuma lama. sebab hati tak puas. tapi alhamdulillah, by the time melahirkan nama tu dah sedap dipilih.

Amir Hazeem - ketua yang tegas cermat dan bijak

Amir Harith - ketua yang kuat dan berusaha


so far, ada ciri2 budak2 ni yang kena dengan namanya.
and aku tak tau la, but maybe berkat pilih nama elok bermakna, anak2 aku takde bergaduh sesama diorg. hazeem cukup sayang kat adik dia. takde berebut2 mainan walaupun hati berat nak kasik kat adik (hahahha). tapi berebut mainan tu normal la kan. cuma hazeem byk mengalah...sian dia :D

kalau lepas ni anak aku lelaki lagi... amir apa lak nak kasik? aku nak amir yusof sebab bunyi cam hensem...laki aku xnak sebab nanti orang panggil usop hahahah...

if perempuan? aku lagi la tak tau apa nama nak kasik... so far aku tgk izzah antara yang menarik hati, maknanya 'kemuliaan, kekuatan'. tgk la kekuatan nurul izzah anuar ibrahim. hati yg cekal je leh maintain camtu... kuat dan penuh keimanan.

tapi ada ke kes yang nama sedap makna bagus tapi bila besar salah ajaran, lain lak jadi nya?

ada la kot kan... (kot terkena batang hidung sesapa yang membaca lak)

parents, kita bertanggungjawab memberi nama elok2 then mencorak personaliti mereka sebab semasa lahir, anak ni umpama kain putih bersih.kita la yang mencorak mereka.

jgn jadi cam org dulu2, mcm2 nama Kemut la, Sinut la, Aseh la... tapi itu dulu, kita yang dah berilmu ni, kita jadi improve yearghhhhh....

milk spills

as a mother, milk spills are normal.

they are not pleasant (to me they are irritating - the after smell, the stains etc) but they are there...they will be there.

today, i had MANY 'sessions' of milk spills.

all annoyingly accidental.

all strawberry milk spills.

all were meant for my sons. ada yang nak masuk botol, ada yang nak minum dalam cawan, no matter how they want it to be, i never fail to spill it, be it on the floor, on my toes, on my shirt, on my hands...and no matter how many times i washed them, i still smell like strawberry milk. yup, they sure nice in your mouth but obviously not nice smell if its lingers all day. ughhh...

but that is life. no matter how hard you try to make them perfect, somehow or rather, there will be bad days - days when you inevitably will have milk spills. and how much irritated you are, you have to contain yourself cos the kids are watching and should you lose your cool ... there goes your mood for the day.

i hope there wont be anymore milk spills, i had enough for today.... rileks la, beb! peace!
