Ammar first day of school: Dzul Iman Smart Khalifah

Bismillah,

Last year kawan-kawan ramai update kat socmed on their kids first day of school. Masa tu rasa macam “weh lambat gila aku kawen anak baru nak start merangkak kot!” Lepas tu meroyan anak cepat sangat membesar dengan hashtag #pleasedontgrowupsofast.

Tapi memang nak cakap time flies soo fast rasa macam baru je lepas tukar pampers Ammar then main agah-agah or cak-cak dengan Ammar dengan dia buat muka innocent comel!

Yeahh.. I need to accept that my baby boy Ammar dah tak baby lagi. Tapi still… and forever still my baby boy boleh manja-manja gedik dengan ibu lagi. #emotionalmomdetected

Ammar officially turn 4 masa November 2018 lepas. Then dia masuk 5 year old pre-school in January 2019. Baru masuk pre-school je tapi sebab anak ibu ni memang tak pernah dijaga orang lain selain kami dan nenek dia (mak aku mengasuh Ammar since baby) so this was his first experience meeting new people. (selain sedara-mara & jiran-jiran).

Kami akan hari-hari cerita yang school tu best, seronok, dapat belajar ABC, 123, ada singing & dancing and so on so on. So Ammar kemain excited lagi bila kitorang cerita betapa seronoknya pergi school tu so hari-hari dia akan kata "Ammar nak pergi school la ibu.." (not sure whether he knew exactly what school are doing, and if he did, he’ll regret it).

Kami memula pun tak risau sangat sebabnya si Ammar ni actually cepat mesra dengan orang dan sangat peramah. So we thought that yeah.. all will be smooth and ibu ayah tak risau.

Kami register Ammar di Dzul Iman Smart Khalifah dekat Jalan Abu Bakar, Jalan Kebun for full day. Sebelum tu ada survey beberapa tempat just untuk convenient kami nak ambil dan hantar Ammar ke sekolah nanti. Then kami pilih tadika ni sebab ada baca & dengar few good testimonies dari kawan-kawan.

Dzul Iman ni ada concept Didik Anak ikut Sunnah. Teacher pun impressed sebab anak-anak ni dapat menghafal surah al-mulk dan surah-surah lazim dengan agak cepat selain belajar solat. Cara dan gaya pembelajaran mostly terapkan konsep islam so we decided that this is the good school for Ammar.

Trail class bermula 3 hari before official kelas bermula start 9 pagi sampai 11 pagi.The trail class was smooth eventhough ada drama tangisan masa nak hantar dia on the first day. Menangis sampai gegar pintu grill. Tapi masa kami fetched Ammar elok je dia keluar dengan muka happy dia sambil nyanyi lagu. So masa tu fikir “fuhh.. lega…” Everytime hantar pun still happy and siap marah kami sebab lambat hantar dia pergi sekolah.

Aktiviti masa trail class.. story telling.. Ammar duduk yang paling depan

Then, bermulalah drama episode sendu duka lara masa first day of official school. Hari pertama sangat okay dan behave. Mood Ammar okay sangat bila teacher ambil dia kat pintu pagar. Senyum sambil lambai tangan kat kami. Kami pun went for work with happy feelings. Tak rasa risau langsung. Sampailah kami ambil petang tu baru dia start cakap “Ibu.. Ammar taknak pegi sekolah lagi..”

The worst nightmare. 

First day of school.. belanja air milo favourite Ammar

Even muka masam tapi dalam hati excited.. on the first day

The most ceria face at that time... :)

Join activities..

Bila kita dengar anak dah start tunjukkan emotion dia tu, mulalah kita rasa macam tak sedap hati. Bila tanya kenapa, dia jawab “ Ammar taknak sekolah.. sekolah tak best!” then dia taknak cerita lebih.

Selalunya Ammar akan banyak bercakap when it comes to first thing of anything he experiences tapi this time macam dia tak suka langsung sekolah. Malam tu dah start sesi pujuk memujuk tapi still muka dia rasa berat nak pergi school.

2^nd day, Ayah hantar, ayah kata muka Ammar masam je masa teacher ambil kat pintu pagar. Then bila ayah nak balik Ammar dah start menangis. Puas la dok pujuk dia. budak-budak lain nangis masa first day of school tapi Ammar terbalik pulak! Ayah tak berjaya pujuk tapi terpaksa tinggalkan juga sebab kena pergi kerja. Nasib baik aku tak hantar kalau tak mau aku pun menangis sekali.

On 2nd day.. pagi2 mood ok

At school on 2nd day.. Dah start meltdown.. ayah try cool down kan still sedih.. :(

Lepas teacher pujuk.. tapi taknak join activity.. :(

The 3^rd day Ammar request nak ibu hantar, eventhough malam tu menangis-nangis taknak pergi school. Tapi this time, Ammar pujuk cara halus because he knew yang ibu dia ni lagi soft-hearted so dia fikir kalau pujuk aku maybe aku akan melted then dari hantar sekolah, so kena hantar rumah nenek. But you thought wrong Ammar, eventhough ibu rasa kesian sangat kat Ammar tapi we both have to do this sebab nak bagi Ammar pandai. So off aku pergi kerja lepas drop Ammar walaupun masa tu dia menangis teresak-esak.

Then on weekend, kami discuss macam mana nak lembutkan hati Ammar untuk ke sekolah. So far kami tak marah still berlembut bila Ammar kata tak nak sekolah. Aku pun banyak doa supaya Allah tanamkan rasa seronok dan suka Ammar untuk ke sekolah. Then kali ni ayah agak bertegas dan taknak kalah dengan pujuk rayu si Ammar (it was soo hard though)

The new week came. Lepas Ammar kena brainwashed dengan kami malam tu, then Ammar dah start tak menangis kat sekolah. I don’t know how ayah pujuk until hati dia lembut or actually my prayer has been heard, the next few days pun dah tak menangis. I was felt soo blessed and relieved at the same time. Terasa yang the first week of school maybe Ammar rasa terasing sangat. With new people, new friends yang dia langsung tak kenal then kena duduk sana the whole day.

Dah happy balik & join activities.. Relieved!

Muka ketat.. macam abang-abang sangat..

 . Alhamdulillah, Ammar dah start nak adapt with the new environment. Terflashback pula masa aku first masuk boarding school form 4, 2nd day homesicked menangis call emak.. haha.. Ammar soo like me.

Alhamdulillah for the first month, Ammar dah start suka nak ke sekolah. Kami pun dah tak pening kepala masa nak hantar ammar ke sekolah. Hopefully Allah mudahkan lagi Ammar nak belajar dan insyaAllah jadi anak yang soleh.

Amin.

2019 Resolution: Lose weight!

Bismillah & Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah, another year has come. Yeah.. I’m ready for next adventures and obstacles coming ahead and hopefully I’m able to overcome it and handle it very well now. And also hoping too this year will be fun, enjoyable, memorable and all other things  that make life worth living. InsyaAllah.

Have you set your new resolution yet for this year? I have mine. So tahun ni aku berazam untuk turunkan berat badan.. haha! kind of cliché tapi memang sungguh-sungguh berazam tahun ni untuk fulfil my resolution.

Previous year punya resolution macam mostly takde target or goal dan tak mencabar or just copy paste orang lain punya resolution. As if takde own identity. Haha. but now.. macam nak refresh balik diri, dan harapannya istiqomah lah untuk turunkan berat badan.

Zaman budak universiti.. cekeding!

Happy mommy monster..

Reasons for my resolution? Last time beli baju or seluar mostly size M. So masa shopping  aku jarang fitting sebab malas nak tukar-tukar baju dalam bilik fitting dan leceh. So just ambil size yang ‘selalu’ pakai tu, agak-agak je muat then bayar.

Sebulan baju & seluar tersadai kat bilik, bila nak pakai sekali tak muat! Ketat! Oh mai.. husband aku dah tergelak-gelak tengok aku struggle nak pakai seluar sebab nak muatkan peha drumstick aku ni yang semakin melebar masuk dalam seluar. Then, come to fit baju….oooh maii gahh.. ketat sana ketat sini. Rasa nak nangis je!

Sebelum ni aku memang takde masalah langsung dengan berat badan aku. Kiranya don’t care much at all pasal berat ni. sebabnya masa aku muda belia dulu (time kat U), aku memang jenis yang makan banyak mana pun still boleh maintain berat badan. Cekeding. Dulu siap nak try minum susu weight gain tu sebab kurus sangat. Berat masa tu lebih kurang range 40-42 kg jaranglah naik.

Semua jenis food aku bedal je sebab aku tau berat aku takkan naik. Until one day aku kahwin. Semuanya berubah.. hahah!

First baby je aku dah naik another 10kg. then melekat tak nak turun langsung. Lepas Sarah lagi lah. Now range berat badan aku lebih kurang 60-63 kg. Rasa macam tak percaya aku berjaya menternak lemak dengan jayanya sepanjang jadi ibu.. huhuhu..

So now, memang dah nekad kaw-kaw, I’m going to lose some weight sebab husband suka gelak pasal double chin aku then kata muka aku dah macam piring astro. *nangis*

Now dah this month dah start puasa ganti/sunat. Rasa macam boleh handle lagi ni so dah boleh Nampak future macam mana. Haha..

Here some tips for those yang nak lose weight macam aku (ehsan google).

1. Eat a high-protein breakfast. Eating a high-protein breakfast has been shown to reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day

2. Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice. These are the most fattening things you can put into your body, and avoiding them can help you lose weight

3. Drink water a half hour before meals. One study showed that drinking water a half hour before meals increased weight loss by 44% over 3 months

4. Choose weight loss-friendly foods (see list). Certain foods are very useful for losing fat.

5. Eat soluble fiber. Studies show that soluble fibers may reduce fat, especially in the belly area. Fiber supplements like glucomannan can also help.

6. Drink coffee or tea. If you're a coffee or tea drinker, then drink as much as you want as the caffeine can in them boost your metabolism by 3–11%

7. Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods. Base most of your diet on whole foods. They are healthier, more filling and much less likely to cause overeating.

8. Eat your food slowly. Fast eaters gain more weight over time. Eating slowly makes you feel more full and boosts weight-reducing hormones.

9. Weigh yourself every day. Studies show that people who weigh themselves every day are much more likely to lose weight and keep it off for a long time.

10. Get a good night's sleep, every night. Poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for weight gain, so taking care of your sleep is important

Yang penting istiqomah!

InsyaAllah..

That’s all for this year first post. Next post coming up soon!
