Mr Froggy's question

This blog is more than dormant already...last postg was May  holy cow..ancient dah tu. Ok i am having all  this semangat to write tonite.. and had earlier posted one in my other blog. If there is any frequent visitor..i apologize for my absence.

I was at #slakeandbite just now with Adib..we dropped Along n Angah for their tuition and spent our time waiting at our cafe. Just wanted to share d conversation we had -A friend of Along who is also a neighbour actually joined us..i was asking him about school and so on...then we talked about gansterism and d friend mentioned abt some student "kena gantung" from school. Then at d cafe...adib asked..kawan Along tu kena gantung pakai tali ke mummy. Never occur to me that he actually didnt know and i explained what it is all about..and he later replied " la best la tak yah gi sekolah--adib ingat kena gantung tu kena hang berapa hari kat sekolah... sabor jelah.
Such a baby kan? Itu kita selalu marah d brothers for taking too hard on Adib when he is still a baby..

He..Adib kan macam macam idea dia..the elder brotehrs esp Angah always highlighted that Adib is my favourite - i dont know if he is my favourite but he was the youngest for quite sometime-- 7 years to be exact before our dearest Aariz. Despite of being pampered and prioritised according to the brothers lah..I think his tolerance on many things is higher compared to the brothers, he tend to give-in a lots and he would question me and defend the brothers when i scolded them...on 2nd thought maybe it is true lah he is pampered because he can question me...adoii..

Ok some of his achievements last year -- he was top for few subjects in school...making mummy and abah all so proud. Soemthing to go into mummy's brag book he..he..he..memacam kan mak mak zaman sekarang ni or is it only me...adoi god helps me..

I think i have also mentioned somewhere that he has been progressing positively with bowling and he placed himself no 2 for under 12 in the club's tournament. Another one to mummy's brag book - sabar eh...

Having said all that, even without those - we would love him the same way..all my boys- nothing more an dnothing less :) my mission is always to raise children with good hearts..always have good intention...good muslim insyallah. Lots of pressures raising 4 boys as they are born leaders at least to their own family later in life but i enjoy every moment of being the only different gender in the family or am i actually suffering ?^#~%~$@*^%~

All about Adib

I want to share about Adib here today...Adib is actually the only soul after me who able to find pleasure in reading. Frankly, for myself...one of my worries is when I stop reading for quite sometime...majalah pun jadi lah. I always encourage the boys to read tapi payah nya lah...as i said the only person yg show some interest is Adib...eventhough his reading tu mmg agak pening kepala to approve but as he is only a baby --always our baby besar , ok aje lah ..

His favourite of alltime is Lawak Kampus...i dont get the jokes with that book. I had an attempt or two but still cant get the jokes...I think the jokes is kind of gross...as they like to use pimples lah ..kahak lah...erghhh dasat betul...

Then he also loves Apo?..others magazines like Asuh..is something that i forced on him .

Books that he would buy from the school's book store is something like the below...i think he has a series of the buku silap mata...the book does come with some magic gadjets ..erggg

I just talked to Along asking him what he reads today...and he answered me "Muka Buku!"...adoiiiii

However most of the time , especially during holidays like now..he fills his time with PSP..that is his partner in crime, Arip ..our neighbour. We have been missing Arip for the whole cuti sekolah as he went "balik kampung"..lama betul.

Have I shared that he is selected to be a prefect for both KAFA and SKIM for next year's school session. He is over the moon with for being elected and I am so proud of him as well. Remember early this year I shared about the shortest tenure as ketua kelas....and thus I hope he could retain the title at least for one year..heee...risau jugak.

Last night he told me that he wants to go for night tuition..I told him there is no need for him to go to tuition at standard 3 (--I only sent tuitions for both the elder brothers at standard 6). He scolded me saying i want him to be smart but doesnt want to send him for tuition..."macamana nak pandai??" adoiii...I am not sure whether his intuition is because both elder brothers will be going for nite tuitions next year or it was out of his own interests.

Adib is also an early riser...he wakes up at about 6am everyday ...and will sit at the reclining chair watching all the early morning cartoons...Aariz has shared Adib's interest in Upin and Ipin, Boboiboy and also some cartoons in Nickoledeon...so now they can watch together. Know how he manages to wake up on time most morning? He actually instructed Bibik to pass him his "morning susu" at 6am sharp...and for nite time it has to be at 9pm ..if bibik is late than the stipulated time he wont takes the susu at all and will scold bibik for one whole day..Bibik is like serba salah, because it is school holidays and 6am is way too early , but she chose not to be "bebel" by this Tuan Muda....sangat songel and sangat manja with bibik...

Today I am trying to enrol him to Shalin's Cup tournament mid this month. We have registered Along and Angah and tought we will only enrol Adib for any tournament mid next year. But he told us yesterday that he wanted to join..."kalau Adib kalah no last pun , Adib buat muka selamba aje" ..with that enthusiasm , got no choice lah but to enrol him ...but until this very moment , I am not getting a response yet from the organiser. I am looking forward for him participating in that event mesti kartun punya!

Adib's birthday Party

It was so unplanned...I thought we want to skipped this year or arranged one after PMR. Adib's and Along's birthday is just one day different, so I thought it just right to do the makan2 and what not after PMR. However, Adib told me " mummy tu lambat sangat tak best lah"..so we had the party organised that weekend after me explained to him that we cant do wednesday, thursday, friday or saturday--told him we need to buys goodies for the party on saturday-i.e.a non working day and he happily agreed.

Then, after agreeing on the day -- I asked him to handle the invitations part--after all it is his birthday and told him to invite whoever he wanted and only tell me the number of friends coming. He came back and told me there will be about 30 friends coming. Frankly we didnt think that many would come but I still prepared the goodies packs accordingly. 30 oklah...I didnt even booked the cake, was assuming that Secret Recipe wont be out of Chocolate Indulgence--Adib's favourite--but unfortunately, they were all sold out ..adoiiii kesian Adib, he then chose New York Cheese kalau tak silap.

And sunday came...at noon, we had lunch with Tok, Aki and all. Then about 2pm, the friends started to arrive...one after another and finally there were like 20+ kids under the roof. Sporting enough to wear the mask!

We had cake, sandwiches, nuggets &  drummets--free flow, pudding and honeydew sweet...nobody wanted to try the mee rebus...salah menu lah :) But I think nobody went home hungry...

It is great fun being a host to the kids. They ate and played and made all sort of noises...really great fun!
The truth is we've have never thought that many would turn up as only handful stayed in the same street. We will make better arrangement next year definitely.

 Bising nya jangan cite lah....like ribut taufan really!

And the end of the day, I asked Adib if the party was ok..." Adib happy tak?"...and he replied "Happy Mummy"...he only got like 2 to 3 birthday presents from the friends, but that didnt bother him..having his friends celebrating his birthday was all that he wanted...
Last but not least...."Happy Birthday Mr Froggy and Along...semoga jadi anak yg baik dan soleh and Mummy loves you both so dearly...with all my heart and more"...
By the way, Adib called me today at lunchtime..telling that he was selected to be the KAFA prefect for next year session....His annoucement was like this "mummy...cikgu tadi tanya Adib awak ada buat salah ya? Adib terus ngaku Adib ada masuk kelas masa rehat - pastu cikgu cakap, sebab guru besar nak cakap tahniah, awak dah terpilih sebagai KETUA PENGAWAS TAHUN DEPAN ehh...salah pengawas bukan ketua pengawas" He actually shouted at that capital letters...ha..ha...I accepted the news with "YEAHHHHHH"...the truth is Bibik has called me earlier to break the news...even Bibik was overly excited ha..ha..ha...so i mocked the terkejut part ...heeee...Congratulations Adib!

Current favourite spot

Ah as i told earlier Aariz is developing interest on the computer and this is  his favourite spot. He will crawl his way there and start smashing the mouse and the keyboard and throwing away any cds he found on the table. We will carry him outside everytime...throw his toys infront of him and he will just turn away and move into the room again.

I ahve actually recorded a video of him laughing out loud to Along but am having problem to upload the video...the system just keeps uploading endlessly and I chose to give up! So here are some of teh pictures of him that day. Among the elder brotehrs , I think he likes to play with Along more. Along will usually dukung him and do funny faces or noises and he likes that.

Adib was his buddy at earlier stage but Adib like to shout at him these days --main main of course--or rather shout talking to Aariz and let him cries...It is funny seeing his face expreession crying but the cry is real not main main...

There was this few nites Aariz actually cried in his sleep mcm mengigau...so I warned the boys Adib and Angah to stop scolding him and he is ok now. Angah is another sole who likes seeing Aariz cries...and when these two team- up lagi masalah negara

Know what yesterday, or so, Adib came back from school and sat at teh dining table, abang told him to take off his tie...he did and just threw it on the floor.

Then Abah asked "macam tu aje"...

and he replied, "kenapa?"...so i told him to put it in Bibik's room...

and he told me " bukan salah Adib, Bibik yang ajar, Bibik kata enggak apa apa ".

Then bibik came to scene, "mengapa?"...

Adib cite to Bibik and Bibik giggling "Oh ya enggak apa apa".

You all should know that this bibik Yani...cakap sikit ketawa lebih..he..he...she giggles a lot...the boys adore her!

Cam ne tu...we thought certain values but kids will pick up what is easy, right? ...*sigh**

Girlfriend ??

I cant remember the last time i shared here our little-talk session...many stories have been left untold...rugi sgt....the thing is i dont think we can rely on my memory..i cant remember much these days..for some reasonlah...mudo sgt..he..he..and that's the reason why i try my best to update this journal to keep the memories ....but for those which left untold...i hope we will keep it warm in our hearts..

This was last week during dinner....adib started off with 'kat sekolah adib ramai sgt yg suka angah'...
Angah of courselah overly excited..laughing and asking for names...Adib said some are from std 3 but some are his own classmates.
Then he continued "Tahu tak girlfriend kedua Adib   tanya Adib --awak tahu tak saya suka sapa?"
Adib replied " tak tahu"
And the GF continued " abang awak"

and all of us laughed mcm nak mati...ha..ha..ha...Along dgn Angah kutuk macam macam ha..ha..ha..but Adib actually was not even smiling ha..ha..ha..sungguh sungguh frust anak mummy!
We tried to find out the name of the girlfriend but Adib is not giving us the slightest clue even to this very moment...
Best part was at the very end of the conversation, Adib annouced that he has got himself a third girl friend so tak kisah lah that girl nak suka kat Angah...ha..ha..
But still he doesnt want to share who is the gf...geram betul
So i told him...I dont really care if you have girlfriends but dont ever touch a girl and study have to come first..

 These pictures are taken during the recent visit for the kids performance review..do spot the wall...no wonder there are always black patches on Adib's shirts...one definitely cant lean to such a wall!! Teruk kan?

He suddenly turned away from his plate and looked at me straight in my eyes and said " Mummy, walau pun adib gangsta kat sekolah tapi adib gangsta yg baik"...
ok now "gangster yg baik" pulak ??!@@#>!^#%!$#* ...confius mummy!

Shortest tenure as Class monitor

wow have left this blog idle for a long time. So many events n incidences have passed us from then till now.....i will try to catch up...sedaya yg boleh. Ah...i definitely need to share this story on Adib..

.remember i told about my dear Adib wishes to become the class monitor. one fine day last month, he happily waited for me to come back from work..and embraced me at the door..."mummy, cikgu lantik adib jadi ketua darjah"....he was like "yes...yes"....knowing how much he was eyeing for that position...i was proud n happy for him. He took up the responsibility without any hesitation ....wrote down names n scolded those who didnt sit at own places...from the very first minutes he was selected. He told us that he was d third class monitor, the first two was terminated from duty  due to some minor misconduct like being naughty or something.

Then abah told Adib to make sure he completed his home and class works to ensure he able to keep the position.

And true enough...masin mulut abah...about 3-4 days later.....adib with muka "kelat"..told us that he is no more the class monitor...the title is taken from him as he continues to not finishing his homeworks...pity him but that was his own mistake. Perhaps his is the shortest tenure...maybe , i dont know.

So last weekend, we worked together to clear all his outstanding homeworks. Need to like sit and talk to him and teach him to write nicely---adib handwriting is extremely awful--, use the ruler, erase properly etc etc. Parents need to do all these with their kiddo....cant just tell and leave them on their own. Kids these days are not like us...back then, during my days...i think I had that urge inside me that want to excel and learn, but kids these days ...we need to remind them again and again...i had my jerit jerit session last sunday dedicated to Along and Adib....after the jerit jerit, got to grap myself again and sit with them and monitor...phewwww....hard work for mummy, right? but I will do this a thousand years...just love being their mummy and having all the four of them as my dearest sons.

Adib and school 2012

Another posting on adib dan cerita-cerita nya...this is his story on day 2 of 2012 school session. On day 1 he told me during dinner that the cikgu told his class taht there will be a selection for ketua darjah , the next day. I told him to tell cikgu that he wants to become one.

On day 2 he updated me..." mummy adib bagitahu cikgu yang adib nak jadi ketua darjah"
Then cikgu cakap, "ok boleh kita tengok votes"
and cikgu asked the class to raise their hands if they vote for adib....and i guessed the cikgu will announce something like this .."sapa sokong adib jadi ketua darjah--angkat tangan"

Adib said he looked around and nobody raise their hand or raise anything at all....and i burst into laughter.
And he also continued his story and commented " padahal mummy, adib dah jadi baik dah naik tahun 2 ni...semua cikgu adib panggil puan"....

abang-abang and my self laughed even louder!
I really dont get it about calling the teachers "puan"......Adib is just hillarious!

Adib and Kafa 2012

And the school session starts again...basically we have done our preparation for school quite early--new clothes for all the 3, new stationeries, new shoes and new bag for Along only. Angah and Adib--theirs are only one year old, so i asked them to use for another year....Adib dah tension..he commented "mummy ni kedekut lah, tadi keluar cash banyak". He saw me took out some cash from the atm...not knowing that they are for bibik :)

That shopping part was done but I missed Adib's registration for Kafa. Kept calling the school but they dont seem to answer phone calls or perhaps even the office was closed for school holiday--i dont know. I even applied for one day leave (on the last friday of 2011)to check the Kafa's office but we was greeted with closed doors..and there was a notice stated that the registration was 2 days before. Gosh! and I actually called daily during the week....sabar je lah.

I was so worried...so just in case i looked banners for other sekolah agama and this conversation came up:

Adib: kalau tak dpt masuk kafa, mummy aje lah ajar adib

Mummy: mummy tak de masa lah adib

Adib: mummy tu kerja tengok movies aje

Mummy: mummy tengok movie sebab mummy nak rehat ( mummy tak nak ngaku kalah :)

Adib: kalau mummy ajar adib ngaji, mummy bukan buat apa...dengar aje..bukan penat pun...

Tak ke terpanah hati mummy dengar tu ???

Apa nak cakap...action speaks louder than words right? .....the kids are watching....

By the way, I sent Adib on his first day of kafa and realised that the registration for existing student is automatic...thank god!

2011 Xmas

Of course we dont celebrate Christmas, but we have stories surrounding christmas n ahmad adib. My dear cheeky ahmad adib aka mr froggy is obsessed with snow. Due to excessive of televisions, he associates snow with christmas...i.e. the world will only snowing during christmas...and christmas is only for mat saleh in the land of mat salehs of course. I think it was last year, he was all shocked with christmas decorations in KL..and I told him...xmas is for christians and christians come in many colours not only whites. And i think from school, he learns about religions and understand that part well now.Then comes the snow...I cant remember when, but sometime this year upon knowing that dec25th is Xmas ( he checked the desk calendar), he has asked me and abah to bring the family to have a vacation in London for Xmas due to his obsession with snow. He didnt request once but many times, i was so tired to layan him that at times i said yes, just to shut him off.So he waited patiently.......
He once told me, when people are out in the street of London celebrating Xmas with Santa, we should stay in the hotel for a while and come out again playing with snow after santa has left.

Then there was this day when the weather is so hot in Kuantan and we were like craving for starbuck's ice blended, he said...we wont have this problem in London, because we can just take the snow and put it in our mouth...tak payah beli ice blended.

On another occassion, Angah was making a lot of fuss about his birthday present...Adib told Angah, nanti kat London, we ask Santa some presents and give all to Angah....tak payah mummy beli...free of charge.

Finally last friday ...2 days before Christmas...he asked me if they have piano the next day,and I told him the calss was cancelled because Christmas would be the next day...suddenly he screamed, "mummy ni kata nak gi London....esok kan xmas, adib nak main snow.."...Adoi as if London is just a drive away.........Thank god, christmas is over now...and i hope this wont repeat next year...but of course we got to think a way to fulfill his dream on touching the snow....perhaps Genting...he..he...!!

Adib and Halloween gadget

The last time we went down to KL, the city was celebrating Halloween. I have written before about Adib and his interest with Halloween. Tot it was over as he is 7 years now but I was wrong...he is more anxious now than before....I'll tell you why.
At our fisrt stop i.e. Pavillion..the was only a small kiosk...and he started, "mummy please mummy, satu aje amik yg murah aje". I said ok and left him to Abah, as I rushed to Mothercare for Aariz's soother because we left his in the car. When I rejoined them again, Adib was still "sebek" (wearing a sad face). So we went to the shop again and get him "the hand"...The hand was filled with kekabu initially but being as creative as he is, Adib asked for my permission to take it out and wear it instead.

The very next day we came accross this one shop selling all sort of party goodies...and of course halloween was the theme...and the boys were like over the moon...yes, the 2 older brothers were like tumpang sekaki....

Brought home this mask....i asked Adib to take Shrek...and he replied "mana takut shrek tu"..so Shrek back to the shelf... Choosing which to buy....he was looking for the scariest and freakiest

Angah chose to be Mr Anonymous...and he bought another one during his school trip to Melaka--a green anonymous mask...
Along bought 2 little mice...they look so real which chill me to the bone..for a few days, those little mice were like following me....they were in my handbag, mix with my make up, on the table , in my bed....everywhere....geram betul... The picture below was during dinner with Tok Bibah and Tok Haji...i was worried tok bibah would have a heart attack...gosh.... So finally I asked Adib...what is it with all these Halloween stuff....and he answered me,

"boleh kacau budak budak perempuan...mesti semua jerit jerit"......

There you go...begitu memberansangkan...ha..ha..ha...
