Rayyan's 2nd Birthday Bash

alhamdulillah, parti hari lahir rayyan telah selamat berlangsung pd hari ahad yg lalu.26th July. luckily the exact date fell on sunday. a perfect day to have a party...a week before, mommy and daddy was busy preparing for rayyan's big day.from food,decorations,activities for the kids so they don't get bored,goodies bags etc... now i know, it's not easy to arrange a party especially in a hall..eventhough the hall was not that big...we tried to keep everyone entertained with what we had and i guess we managed to reached that goal,more or less....with the help from family and my 2 superb assistant who slept over at our house from friday night.thank you auntie Ida & auntie Naz..also thanks to K. Jue sbb tolong masakkan spageti kegemaranku..you all have been a great help!

here's how we started the day,26th July 2009

rayyan was still asleep when mommy n daddy woke up.so was auntie ida & naz..hehehe.derang stay up buat preparation the previous night,that's why...mommy & daddy went to the market to buy some groceries.when they came back,rayyan was still sound asleep.auntie ida & auntie naz was already in the kitchen helping with the food.at around 10.30am,rayyan woke up..sengih2...in good mood for his big day. mommy knew, rayyan wouldn't wanna take his nap that day because he's gonna be enjoying his day with so many friends later.good thing he woke up late...last thing mommy wanted, was rayyan being clingy and cranky on his own party...

rayyan was born at 12:58pm..before the party which was scheduled to start at 3pm,around 1ish we sang him a birthday song. he was giving us his senyum simpul and even practice to blow the candles...130pm baru bergegas ke dewan nk prepare balloons, decorations and the kids play zone.agak rushing jugak laa...around 230pm dah ada guests yg sampai...siap tolong gantung2kan belon..sorry sgt2 and tq for the help..hehehe

the party started at 310pm.dimulakan dgn bacaan doa dan diikuti dgn nyanyian birthday song for the birthday boy.after that,tiup lilin and potong kek..pandai rayyan tiup candles..

ok..enough elaboration..let's take a look at some photos. i wish i had hired a proper photographer... there are not many pictures..a lot of scene missed.. :( but anyway,thank you to my BIL for these pictures...

Looking back at that time & continue dreaming

~Rayyan is 1year 11months 2weeks 5days old~

~Rayyan dolu2 - 5months old~

i posted this picture in fotopages ages ago, but didn't put it in this blog..konon2 dulu blog nih xmoh letak gmbr... huhuh.. but since one of my friend tanya about walker.. i remembered taking this photo at jusco sunway masa usha2 walker dgn rayyan. so,how do we decided when it is the right time for rayyan to use a walker. well, actually..we don't know either. kami berdua nih excited xsabar nk tgk rayyan boleh jalan..lgpon, we knew that one day eventually we will wanna buy this thing to help rayyan learn to walk..so, might as well buy it earlier. baru anak satu, ala2 jakun la kan... but this walker in the picture wasn't the one we bought.

anyway,we bought a walker when rayyan was 5months old and barely even stand up on his own yet... dah kata, mak bapak jakun kan... 1st time masukkan dia dlm tu, dia tatau camne nk manouver that thing..dok lentok ke depan,ke belakang. bila kitorang gerak2kan walker tu,pusing2 kan.. seronok la dia. he was very excited to be in the walker... it was really worth it. you can never put a price on that face and the excitement.he loved the ability to move around and to explore more space ... rumah PIL pon xde la luas sgt, pi mai pi mai tang tu jugak laa... :D

this is rayyan's walker.. he loves aeroplane,so we chose the one that have an aeroplane on it.. at his right hand side, the yellow one with buttons around it.

after 6/7months later,rayyan dah tak masuk walker as we went off to japan for few months. kat jepun la rayyan pandai berjalan for the 1st time. umur setahun baru pandai jalan...lmbt ke ek? as for me, i don't mind cpt ke lambat.. let him catch up with his own pace.lain budak, lain la pencapaiannya kan? bila balik msia semula, rayyan dah pandai jln, so walker itew jadi kawan teddy bears sekalian dlm store.huhuhu...koleksi teddy bear kumpul masa zaman belajar kat jepun dulu.rayyan pulak xsuka main dgn teddy bear..asek bersepah2 jer, kena humban dlm store..of course dah balut cantek2..tunggu masuk rumah sendiri nnti... kita letak elok2 dlm bilik bb girl ;)

before walker, we bought this... bumbo baby sitter .again, sbb jakun xsabar nk tgk anak sendiri pandai duduk.. beli kat mothercare. agak mahal jugak kerusi nih,tp material dia bagus.. beli masa rayyan 3months++.guna kejap jer..bila dah ada walker, xpandang dah sitter nih...

habis electronic dictionary nih di'kunyah' rayyan..

rasanyer, kami especially me.. being a first time mother... i don't mind spending money on rayyan's things... maybe sbb anak pertama kot. byk sikit barang yg nk kena beli sbb pertama kali. kalau baju pon, kadang2 baju dia lagi mahal drpd baju mommy n daddy dia. skg nih dah kurang sikit beli baju2 rayyan sbb saiz badan dia xbyk berubah.. ketinggian jer berubah... ada la few baju yg nmpk dah senteng... makin meninggi anak bujang sorang nih... ii ne! bila tgk baju budak2 yg comel2 tu, i can't resist. sanggup 'puasa' beli barang sendiri utk rayyan.tp lps nih, kalau dpt baby girl boleh bg alasan anak perempuan pertama pulak... kan? kan? hhahaha... ampun ayang!!

The first ingredient of success is desire...

salah satu benda yg sedang bermain difikiran sekarang nih, tiba2 rasa diri nih mcm dah xreti nk garang mcm mula2 masuk kerja dulu. skg nih mcm dah xkesah.adakah saya dah tua?kata org,bila kita dah tua kita dah kurang garang...yeke? tp dah mula nampak effectnyer...bila belek2 keputusan student skg n bandingkan dgn result student yg dulu.. terkesan penurunan dan kemerosotan.especially bahagian kanji.bukanla nk kata kena garang baru student nk kerja keras,but from my point of view.. kena bg sikit pressure so that they won't take it for granted.sekarang nih pon,marah control2 jer..sambil2 senyum karat..huhuhu.. bagi yg pernah belajar bahasa jepun mesti tau..kanji nih adalah salah satu tulisan daripada 3jenis tulisan dlm bahasa jepun selain hiragana dan katakana.semua nih mmg wajib hafal kalau nk belajar bahasa jepun.mcm kita belajar ABC dulu..cuma kalau ABC tu ada 26ketul jer..tp dlm hiragana+katakana=46+46=92++...itu belum termasuk tulisan kanji yg kalau utk student preparation kat aaj nih kena hafal lebih drpd 2000ketul. jadinyer,mereka2 kat sini mmg dikerah tiap2 hari utk hafal kanji..sebelum ni sehari 9ketul..skg dah naik sikit,12ketul.mmg byk sebenarnya tp mmg itu cara belajar kat sini.kena keep up dgn rentak sensei..kalau ambil sambil lewa jer,mesti diri sendiri jugak yg susah.sama la macam mommy dulu..mmg tiap2 hari kena hafal kanji.pagi2 bgn tido lps solat subuh terus mengadap buku kanji..bila dah lama2,kita akan terbiasa dgn cara mcm tu and insyaAllah mudah dah nk hafal kanji2 yg akan datang.sbb tu risau bila ada student yg awal2 nih dah mula tunjuk tak minat dgn kanji,atau ada yg x boleh keep up dgn speed aaj. risau derang ketinggalan jauh. mommy tgh mencari2 cara mcm mana nk bg tips kat student supaya senang nk menghafal kanji.lain orang lain cara belajarnya..tp yg pasti usaha tu mesti kena ada...kalau setakat tulis 10kali lps tu tenung lama2 n hope nk dpt full marks...mmg payah la kot..at least kena tulis 50x. lg bagus kalau tulis 100x... kanji nih,tips nyer sebenarnya itu laa...tulis byk2 kali sambil igt bunyi bacaannya. bukan mcm grammar yg mungkin berbeza tahap pemahaman antara student.kalau grammar nih mmg sensei pon kena kerja lebih sikit cari cara nk pahamkan student n bg extra explanation kat student bila ada yg tak boleh catch up.tp kadang2 tu,ada certain student yg tak sedar dirinya lemah n mengharapkan sensei jer utk cari jalan n ikhtiar utk dia...mana boleh... usaha tu mesti la mulanya dtg dr diri sendiri dulu. kalau asek nak bergantung kat sensei jer payah la bila dah masuk universiti nnti. so,kepada kawan2 yg pernah belajar bahasa jepun especially yg ada tips2 utk menghafal kanji..sila la bg idea kat saya utk diperturunkan kat anak murid saya.mana tau ada yg dpt manfaat dr idea korang. td pon dah bg sikit nasihat tegas kat derang.kerja derang bertambah n of course kerjaku juga bertambah la nampaknyer.takperla,asalkan derang usaha lebih sikit utk naikkan prestasi derang. walaupon begitu, seronok pulak melihat telatah derang nih masa Sports Taikai jumaat lepas.mcm2 perangai ada especially budak2 tahun 2(senpai biasala kan??heheh..otai sket dpn kohai) . yg ketara, kohai2 semua muka innocent+comel2..senpai especially yg lelaki muka ganas2.. that day,kohai mmg kalah teruk dgn senpai...syian korang.xper,next year ada peluang lagi...hehehe.. seingat mommy,masa zaman mommy kat aaj dulu sports taikai nih biasa2 jer. xde apa sgt.acara pon xbyk.mcm ala2 buat syarat jer.tp skg nih, makin meriah pulak. cikgu2 subjek kat thn 2 semua bukan main semangat buat persediaan itu ini. acara pon dah bertambah..ada lari dlm guni sambil bawa sponge utk kumpul air yg terbanyak,lari ikat kaki mcm lipan(4orang),bola beracun for girls and acara wajib tahunan iaitu tarik tali...tahun ni, cuaca tak berapa mengizinkan.xdapat la nk tengok pemenang beraksi tarik tali dgn kumpulan guru... apa pun, i'm sure everyone had a great day especially the students yg hari2 asek kena belajar jer... next week thn 1 akan mula peperiksaan mid sem. their 1st big exam.masing2 nmpk dah risau... tambahan pulak ada student yg xsihat sampai kena cuti seminggu.. kelas mommy jer ada 2org yg mommy kena buat kelas tambahan utk ajar bhgn yg tertinggal.i have to work extra hours.. hari nih ada date dgn derang lps pkl 6ptg... anyway,apapun yg kita nk buat dlm dunia nih,perkara pertama yg penting ialah niat. betulkan niat dalam hati. i know, some of my students here are not really 100% interested in what their doing now or the road they have chosen. but, sometimes the things we don't love may be the best for us, and the one that we love might not be the best for us... ramai lagi org kat luar sana tu yg tak dapat peluang ni. jadi, usahalah bersungguh2... ;)

for my students,

semoga dipermudahkan Allah dalam pelajaran dan peperiksaan yg akan datang nnti.

Minna,Gambattene!

as for my personal life...

we're busy preparing for our new home sweet home. grill dan siap pasang,tv and couch dah beli... now, we're doing lights hunting... pening mommy tgk lampu! two days straight ulang alik Ikea survey mcm2..curtains,lights,paint etc.will, story bout it more later ;)

6years had passed with countless memories...

i'm doing this on my 2days MC.heheh..due to my dental related excuse.selasa lepas sampai juga hajat nk cabut gigi bongsu yg segan2 nk keluar tu.i suffered two weeks of pain a month before,went to see the doctor but she said she can't take it out.not until the pain eased...so,i postponed iy until after the btn.i'm not willing to face it for the 2nd time so i decided to get it done last tuesday.yes,it's not easy..i'm very2 scared.plus,the doc said she had to make a minor surgery to remove the gum that's been covering the teeth underneath.horror...but, i set my mind that it wouldn't be as painful as giving birth,would it??the 20minutes work turned out fine.the anesthetic made my left side mouth numb even after it was done.other than that..nothing,no pain just a feel of something being plugged out from my set of teeth and my gum being sew...it isn't that bad rite? the worse part is,i felt dizzy after that and threw up.huhuhu.. i guess,all the fears had turn into dizziness. now,i think the gum is fine.after a week i have to see the doctor again to take out the string from the gum... i know, that sounds scary too.i'll worry about that later... back to the main story... menjawab tag drpd fith yg dah berkurun...knowing me yg byk sgt gmbr tp xreti handle,nak jawab kena korek2 dulu HD cari gmbr lama2..some missing(xigt letak mana),some hangus(hilang bersama HD lama)...orang byk gmbr pastu xpandai wat filing sistem...camni laa :D kami xde gmbr utk each anniversary mcm fith,jeles la nii..hehehe..sbb ada anniversary yg xcelebrate bersama..kena duduk jauh2 :( tp mai korek2 gmbr ikut tahun.. kalau boleh nk letak byk2 tp kang mcm syiok sendiri pulak... so,here you go;

enjoy :)
