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 ?^#~%~$@*^%~

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!

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...!!

"Spender" --a.k.a seluar katok

The title is a bit alarming right? Seems like it doesnt suit a family blog but i just got to share this story. So one nite during dinner--the usual time for the boys to share their story of the day--their activities etc--Angah told us about some standard 2 children playing with a "spender" , throwing it around with a stick. After a while one of the children, asked another child to throw the spender to Angah. I feel like there's missing thread in the story emmmm...anyway, the silly little chap did threw the spender to Angah and that was a wrong choice obviously.
Being Angah, with a slightly extra dose of Javanese blood in him--as what abah likes to refer to define or explain "uncontrollable anger"--Angah actually scolded and slapped the unfortunate little boy.
I knew that he would get to that. I have taught him a few times, the easiest way to handle anger, if you are angry-standing, you should sit, if that doesnt work you should lie down...and had also reminded him that anger is evil. Of course, i scolded him and repeated again about anger is evil...told him, he should change and learn to handle his anger or he will one day lose all his friends...I told him, he should have just warned the boy... and of course, he defended himself telling me it was not a hard slap--(i really hope that was the actual thing)--just a mere touching on the kid's face with open hand...and that slap came after his warning not to fooling around with him.
Then suddenly while we were debating, our dear Dennis the Menace, interfered and said this,
" kalau Adib, Adib tak marah mummy! Adib amik spender tu letak atas kepala aje"...and how do you respond to that?
We all laughed out loud...betul betul LOL....there you go Adib with his out of the box response, which always full with some peculiar ideas again and again

Pusat....

Our little talk...banyak dah but i just dont have the urge to post it here...anyway this was a few weeks back...i was driving the boys back from dinner..and Adib asked me this question,

" mummy, nape setengah kedai letak signboard Pusat...macam Pusat Tuisyen lah, kan ke pusat tu kat perut"

and we laughed...i really do not have an answer--cant find the right word to explain Pusat,

Unfortunately abah was not around ...cause abah can explain better most of the time,

thus passed that to Along to answer , " Along tolong jawap"

along : "Pusat ni macam centre...macam pusat sumber, pusat tuisyen"

angah: " pusat perabot"

along:" jangan nak mengarut kedai perabot adalah...tak pe lah mat dib, nanti adib darjah satu adib faham lah..."

Penyudah nya....LOL

This picture was taken this morning...

Adib commented: "Warits tangkap gambar dgn baby...adib tangkap gambar dgn ikan aje...".. ( he just saw a picture of Warits with his new sister and his mom-aunty ann)

Pre-Disneyland Talk

This was once upon a morning, while having breakfast with Mat Dib....

Adib: mummy apa lagi yg ada yg ada kat Disneyland selain mickey mouse?~~~~~the truth is the boys are not so keen about Mickey Mouse---they are getting worried whenever i teased them that i am going to get them mickey t shirt for hari raya this year---and that's including Adib--not sure if Adib really means it like the older boys or just playing along :)
Mummy: many ...ada pluto, Donald
Adib: ok... ~~~~not so interested kind of ok
Mummy: Toys' story
Adib:ohhhhh ~~~~~with some interest kind of ohhhhh
Mummy: Cinderella, snow white , beauty and beast, sleeping beauty
Adib: apa tu????
Mummy: Adib betul tak tahu ke?


It has never occured to me that he doesnt have a clue about all the Disney princesses .
When Along were small, being keen with first baby...and all excited...we bought the whole set of Disney, had that read along session from time and time.................then Angah came along....ok, the reading session was less than frequent....but still at times certain nights, i tried to read one day a story kind of thing......then Adib....totally leave it to the older brothers.....sort of, so...he reads and watches whatever the older brothers having...and he has more Doraemon, Sikichan, Fukuchan etc etc.....
The conversation continued....


Adib:mummy, Upin dan Ipin ada?
Mummy:APA???? ~~~i was like half screaming~~~ apa pergi jauh jauh nak cari Upin dan Ipin...
Adib: ehhh ....Upin dan Ipin ada dalam Disney Channel.... ~~~dengan penuh semangat patriotik


Mummy: no..no..no tak ada upin dan ipin, tak ade Fukuchan , tak de Hakemaru, tak de Sikichan, tak de Inachan, tak de Bekom, ultraman semua tak de.....

(Adib is besides me while i am writing this, he told me: Mummy salah eja bukan Hakemaru tapi Hagemaru---his favourite cartoon...)
I told everyone during the weekend, and Along had done the honour to pass the whole Disney series to Adib, "nah baca ni before pergi Disneyland"

Adib: Along, Tarzan ada ehhhhh?? ~~~~dengan sangat excitednya

Along: ada

Adib: Ohhhh....... ~~~now he's looking forward

First picture at 9th week

Had my second check up last saturday, and there were Adib and Abah accompanied me...the older brothers had their piano lesson.

It was Adib's first time to listen to the heartbeat and viewed the monitor....he stood beside me silently watching. Then after we were done with the check up, i asked him--

Mummy: Adib nampak adik tadi?

Adib: Nampak....tapi pelik lah mummy....( still holding on to the print out)

I guessed he was expecting to see a real baby smiling at him:)
This is a picture of adik at 9 weeks....

"Masak"

Scene 1: This was yesterday morning.....

Adib told me there's something need to be signed in the kinder communication--so i took the book and saw the notice telling parents that on that particular day , the kinder will be having amali on preparing own breakfast...everything will be prepared by the school.

So I told Adib , "wah....hari ni adib belajar masak lah buat breakfast"

Adib has this blank look and later sat on the sofa waiting for me...with a very sour face and some tears in his eyes...

Mummy: ni kenapa yg kau sedih sangat

Adib cried ..... i was all confused...

Mummy: kenapa ni?

Adib: Adib mana tahu masak?

Mummy: lah buat sandwich ajer, sapu butter atas roti....apa yg susah nya..kan adib biasa buat?

Adib: La......Adib ingat kena goreng ikan.....(terus hilang airmata yg begitu songgel)

I think it was my mistake, right?.....for using a wrong word "masak" ...what was i thinking????

Dental Visit

I was up for my dental visit last saturday, this was the morning before Festival Hari Guru at ECM. Along had gotong royong at his school, Abah went to Summerman , so I brought Angah and Adib with me. After my filling and scaling, I asked Angah if he wants to do his checking and he said yes. Adib was not interested!!

He had his dental check up and so happened there was one tooth that need extraction, he was reluctant at first but Dr Anitha being soft spoken (even to us -adults) able to get Angah to agree at last...and thus, he had his first tooth being properly pulled out by a dentist.

After the dentist, was when we supposed to get Adib's hair cut but it was postponed until next weekend.

Angah was not supposed to eat for approx. 30 minutes after the tooth extraction but he was hungry thus we went to Mega Curry House (our favourite Indian food spot) for roti canai and roti bom (for Angah) and tosei (for Adib and myself).

Then it was "bayar" time - suddenly Angah took out his wallet and said he wanted to pay (remember the cash he received for being olahragawan).

mummy: tak pe lah you dont have to do that...
angah: betul angah nak belanja...

mummy :ok

angah : ehh napa pulak kurang dari 10 hinggit

mummy: dah ...abah tak de , along tak de...

adib: mummy nak lolly pop

mummy: mintak angah lah.....

Alang alang menyeluk pekasam...he..he..he....Thanks Angah!

Hari Guru at Indera Pintar

I was approached by overexcited Adib one day- last week just to notify that the kinder will have hari guru celebration and the kids are required to wear their best outfit to school.
Apparently, he has made his own decision to wear his Hackett and blue jeans....and he has been counting days since then .....
In fact, he's supposed to have his hair cut last saturday but he told me to postpone after wednesday. At first i could not figure out why wednesday? then only i remember about the hari guru and i granted his wish :)

This morning, I have no problem waking him up...it was just one shake and he's all up and widely awake, he even woke Angah when normally they hardly meet each other because Angah will leave before he woke up.
Looking forward for the occassion, he had his bath by himself without any hesitation or screaming for mummy to bath him.

Right after bath, I dressed him and let him combed his hair as usual...he combed his hair and commented " Mummy, adib macam abah lah" and I told him "yes, adib kan anak abah"

We went downstairs, I requested him for a picture and as usual, he gave his best post. Upon seeing his picture, another comment came from "Adib macam Along masa kecik kan mummy" and i told him, "yelah, Along kan abang"

Brought him to a nearby gerai kuih buying some kuih for the jamuan. He was already very restless thinking that we are going to be late and what not...scolding me at the gerai itself to be fast and not to buy so much..
I told him the kuih is for everybody not him alone but he didnt really understand...
Adib: mummy nape beli banyak ni...adib bukan boleh makan banyak tu
Mummy: ni utk semua lah adib and kawan kawan
Adib: kawan adib bukan ramai macam tu?
mummy: bagi org lain and cikgu sekali
Adib: kalau semua org kenyang? adib pun kenyang?mummy bawa gi ofis mummy lah
mummy: ada lah orang nak makan nanti
Adib: mummy bawak lah, kalau orang kenyang adib tak tahu....

Our dear Adib......................ohhhh he grows so fast :(

The easiest question

This was once upon a time during lunch...

Along raised a question to all ..

Along: apa soalan paling senang dalam dunia

Mummy: what is your name?
Along: Ada jugak org tak tahu nama..

Mummy: Itu dah masuk bab lain kalau nama sendiri pun tak tahu

Angah or Along: Awak hidup ke mati?

Along or Angah: Yelah mesti senang nak jawap

and we have a few other questions suggested by Angah and Along -

-

when suddenly,

Adib: soalan paling senang "mana makanan adib ni?"

Then only we realised we were busy talking and eating at the same time and didnt even realise that Adib was yet to get his order....

had a good laugh bergegar meja :D
