si Jacaranda

2012-01-03T19:51:00.000-08:00

"Indahnya...", itu komentar pertama yg keluar ketika melihat si cantik untuk pertama kalinya. Unik dengan warna ungu seakan melambangkan logo universitas pilihanku. Aku menjulukinya unik karena bunga ini tumbuh dari pohon yg tinggi dan besar dengan cabang dan beranting2. Fenomena yg jarang ku saksikan (atau malah tidak pernah ya) di Indonesia. Sebatas pengetahuanku yang namanya bunga ya tumbuh di pohon kecil seperti pohon cabe :P. Setelah berkembang beberapa lama, dia akan menggugurkan bunga-bunganya di akhir musim semi. Jacaranda nan indah dengar cerita bunga khas Brisbane (ibukota state of Queensland, Australia). Apakah memang original dari benua ini atau sempat bertuan di negara lain, sayangnya aku belum sempat menyelidikinya.

Spring is Coming....

2011-09-15T17:01:00.000-07:00

Flowers are blooming...that's the sign of the coming season. That's spring.
The flowers are beautiful and give us the feeling of happiness...y? because the mid semester break is coming too and the children's school term is over. We're on holiday for almost 2 weeks. But actually for me...not real holiday, because the next assignment will due soon hikksss. Anyway...I need my break after all the mid exams and those 'crazy' assignment hehehe. We planned to go to the flowers' festival in Toowoomba this Saturday (17/9/2011). There'll be a parade and many children's playground. I heard it wont big as in Pasadena, California though. I hope the children will be happy and I can get out and relax before going back to focus on my next assignment (due next Monday). Holiday...here we come ^__^

Hello

2011-09-13T03:12:00.001-07:00

Hello bloggers...

Long time no see mates ^_^
Different kinda lingo yeah you got that rite mate

It's Oz english. We're actually in Oz now.
Which part? in Queensland State. It was a part of my dream to study abroad.
Now here we are in Brissy Boat hehehe. Actually I was prefer Japan as a place
to study my master.It was such a long long time ago. Before I was even entering
my bachelor degree, just as I was starting to work in DJP (tercintahh).
I was in love with Japan because of their culture, their languange, their manga n cartoon, their bushido spirit...all n everything about it.

Then, my plan change...I never ever thought Oz as my destination to further my study. After my family...my dream seems to lose its meaning if I don't include them in it rite guys? So Oz was really a logic place to be if you're studying with family.
First, location...location (ga nyambung, emang milih property! hahaha), it is relatively near to our country. It is an english speaking country which is very easy to learn the lingo for me familia compare to japanese (can u imagine...my family especially my husband...).

Alhamdulillah, we're here safe and sound. This is my third semester. So we're here for 2 years...this is the second one. I'm studying at University of Queensland. The best in Oz for research. Unfortunately, I'm not a research student. I'm a master (candidate) by coursework...double major between accounting and applied finance. All my family is here now. The time for us here...left almost a year. Now I remember I have a blog to take care of ^_^
Sorry for giving only a little attention to this blog.

Amalina Fair

2010-02-07T16:58:00.001-08:00

Jum'at malam 5 Februari 2010 Bude Ani meminta mama untuk menemani Nazmi (TK B Amalina) untuk lomba mewarnai murid dan orangtua. Bude Ani ga bisa karena harus menemani Nasya (kakanya Nazmi di RS)yang sdg dirawat karena DB. Amalina Fair dimulai pukul 7.30 di SDIT Amalina hari Sabtu, 6 Februari 2010.
Seneng juga bisa nemenin Nazmi lomba, yg lebih seneng lagi Azka mo ikutan padahal waktu berangkat Azka dah pesen-pesen untuk ga diikutsertakan lomba dengan alasan males hehehe. Dasar bocah, ketika dia lihat jenis lomba mewarnainya sedikit beda dia langsung semangat. Emang apanya yang beda. Bedanya wadah mewarnainya bukan kertas tp stereofoam (yg biasa u/ mading gitu) trus memakai cat air bukan crayon. Lombanya sendiri ditujukan wat ajang bonding antara anak dan ortu serta kerjasama dengan teman, jadi pihak sekolah menyediakan perlengkapan yg diperlukan dgn cara dibagi per grup. Satu grup terdiri dari 4 org anak dan 4 ortu. Karena ga tau kami dari rumah memang tidak bawa perlengkapan apapun kecuali krayon. Untung ya disediain hehehe.
Seperti layaknya kebiasaan di Indonesia yang ngaret. Acara yg seharusnya pkl 07.30 jd mulur pkl 09.00. Untung selesai sebelum dzuhur. Akhirnya kami pulang.

Ditengah acara mewarnai tersebut sebenernya ada berita super gembira hehehe. Mama terima sms kalo mama kterima beasiswa ADS yuhuuu eh alhamdulillah. Tp kan juga ga yakin gitu...temen mama yg sms tau darimn sih?
Di rumah mama bertekad untuk kembali ke amalina untuk mengambil karya Azka n Nazmi setelah tentu aja meninabobokan Azka n Qorin lalu dilanjut ke warnet untuk liat situs ADS. eng ing eng...

Surprisenya ternyata double. Subhanallah

Pas kembali ke amalina ternyata acaranya sudah bubaran, untungnya masih ada beberapa petugas kebersihan dan para guru yang sedang rapat. Mengingat dah ga sabar pengen memajang karya Azka di rumah, kamipun (mama, papa n Qorin) nanya deh ke salah seorang ibu guru di sana. Setelah menunggu beberapa saat baru deh kejutan pertama tiba....karya Azka ternyata mendapat peringkat Juara Harapan I. Wahh padahal ikutannya ga niat alhamdulillah. Azka pastinya seneng banget (dia ditinggal karena masih bobo siang). Oh iya hadiahnya berupa piala (suiiiittt suiiit piala perdana wat Azka) dan buku tulis serta alat2 tulis.
Seperti yg ditekadkan seblumnya kami lgs menuju warnet di Arinda. Waahh kejutan euyy warnetnya tampak lebih canggih dgn cubicle2 dari kayu dan monitor pc yg dah flat kekna kemaren terakhir kesini pcnya masih berkonde hehehehe. Lalu surprise keduapun muncul ternyata yg terpampang disitus ADS itu bukan nama awardee tapi ID tiap aplicant yg sukses duhh luppaaaaaa berapa ya nomor ID-nya untung disebelah ID ada tgl lahir. Ehm berdasarkan dugaan kekna mama lulus hehehe trus diinget2 oh iya emang ID-nya sama. Terima kasih Allah atas rahmat n karuniamu.
Pas keluar dari warnet, mama sempet liat ruko sebelah...ternyata pantesan warnet ini lebih canggih hehehe wong warnet yg terakhir didatengin itu terletak di ruko sebelah wkakakaka. Pantesannn beda!!!
Setiba di rumah, Azka dah bangun n senengg banget dgn pialanya. Selamattt ya Azka. Nah karena penasaran mama liat dunk ID ADS mama di korespendensi IDP terakhir. Alhamdulillah sekali lagi ternyata itu memang mama :).
Sungguh surprise yg menyenangkan :)

DB

2010-02-02T19:44:00.000-08:00

New year has already past a month ago. We face a new month...February 2010. At this same month a couple of years ago many things happened. I recalled our moved out from our rented house in this month at 2007 and then we were strike by flooding rushed in our new house. What a tragic event since Qorin at that time was just two months old. And she was just recovered from an illness. And the next month in March another sadness came, my husband was sicked because of mosquito's bite what we called here dengue fever.

I was at that time, kept asking myself what went wrong. And time passsed us by, and I almost forget what happened three years ago. Then I heard that my niece Nasya got DB too. She was only 9 years old, and now being hospitalised in Sari Asih. I hope she will recover soon and can go to school as usual.
I brought her comic books so she still can read like the way she used to be in her home.

Get well soon Mba Chaca.

Happy Birthday Dede

2009-12-29T16:40:00.000-08:00

Today (30 December 2009) is my little cutie dede Qorin bd. Happy 3rd BD honey. We wish you all the best in your life. She knows exactly that she's going to be 3 years old today, but unfortunately she is not quite happy to receive any congratulations from us, but of course she likes the presents hehehe. Well I haven't bought a cake to celebrate her birthday coz I still go to the office today...ohhh ghossshh I wish this is a day off. But I promise to find something so she could blow up her candle :).

Tomorrow maybe I could download photos of her bd celebration, since my mom will also have her bd tommorow. December is a month full bd celebration in our family. At this same month we have Nazmi, Aufaa, Bude Ani, Qorin and Mbah Uti.
Nazmi and Aufaa were already celebrated their bd on December 20th, they invited all the children in our surroundings. It was a nice party and happy one. Well for Qorin, I may have a simple celebration and of course the most important thing is say our prayer together for Qorin. I think it is more valueable than any presents.

Happy Milad day Qorin!

Mimpi

2009-10-01T00:31:00.000-07:00

Have you ever read the famous novel from Andrea Hirata called "sang pemimpi". I bet many of us have read that book. It's really inspired me...really made me dare to dream.
Long time ago, I have dreamt to reach the end of the world and travel around the world . But then those dreams fade away when I became bigger n bigger especially when I got married. Although they're not really burried...like I said they just fade away and then I began to believe that I couldn't achieve them ever.

Then I reduced them,why???

This is the story...
After graduated from high school, I was like everyone else really happy to see my marks. But I was sad to found out the fact that I couldn't continue to college because my parents couldn't afford too. Because of that they wanted me to find a job and work and then go to college by own expense. Oh God!
I wasn't ready at all for working.
Then I prepared myself to go to college that will give me free tuitition. That's STAN. I was so surprised when I finally enter that college. It was an achievement for me. Although I also applied for UI but I didn't make it, it was a disappointment for me. But it didn't take much time for me to forget it.

In '99 I finally graduated from my college and started to work in the most wanted departement di Indonesia (or even in the whole world hahahaha) yap it's under the Ministry of Finance. Since then I see many of my senior colleagues, can live in other countries by seeking a scholarship abroad. Oh how I want to make my dream come true to live, learn n travel in another country. At least it was part of my dreams :)

That's how it all started for me. Mid July 2009 I took a big step by applying for ADS scholarship. Administration selection was over, and thank Good I was one of the candidate. And now I'm waiting for a good news, I hope they will call me to be shortlisted. Aminn...

I must prepare myself to be ready for whatever it is.

Ke Sekolah

2009-07-01T21:19:00.000-07:00

Haluuuu
Wooowww 6 months. Yes half a year, since my last post. Where have you been?
I've been in among...homeschooling, working, training, etc and sure a lot of stories to tell you guys. But I wanna tell a great milestone from Azka. He's ready for school!!!

How come? yes it was like just yesterday me and my husband complaining Azka's strike from his school, finding the best ways to make him go to school and finally committed ourselves to make our own homeschooling for him.

From January 2009, I made him learning at home. To be honest it was hard, because I'm a full time worker hikks. So we learn during the nite, and sometime it was frustating when I had to teach him meanwhile my body needed a rest. Yes it was about commitment after all, and it amazed me the one that very committed to this program was Azka. He never tired of learning just about anything especially when it came about science.

And then one day, it was in the weekend I took him for a long ride with my old bycle. We took unusual route. And to my surprise, we found a school. A school I longing for my children, I read about this school back then when Azka was just about a year, I had a plan to enter him there. But unfortunately it is far away from Ciledug. So I just buried my dream deep down in my heart. Until that day, my dream crossed my mind when we tried to enter the gate.

I said to Azka, don't worry hunny if you just want to play. I really wanted to take a look for a while then we could go biking again. He was very reluctant at that time. And we entered the official room, it was full of toys, and of course he started to get anxious :).

We met Ibu Nunik, she welcome us and I started to ask everything I need to know about this school. We then take a round trip to see the class which is very interesting because it has no wall and doesn't need an AC. Azka was exciting to see this kind of class, he kept asking if he may have this kinda class.
Whattt!! it means he is willing to go to this school, OMG I even haven't ask him. So I called his father asking his permission. Alhamdulillah he say yes of course, but he asked me to confirm Azka's willingness. And I did that, and he kept saying yes I want to go to this school.

Yess!!! thank you Allah for giving us a solution.

This school is Sekolah Alam Bintaro. The curriculum match with my education values and it match my child needs.
So what are we waiting for??
Let's go to school and have fun learning!!!

Qorin Mewarnai

2009-01-27T20:56:00.001-08:00

Qorin really loves to colouring something...something means wall, tiles, our couch, etc. hehehe.

She likes to do it with her brother crayons, although I've already given her own crayons ;). She likes green and blue crayon to color anything. When she is colouring...she really focus and concentrate hihihi. You can see her masterpiece here :)....

Aku dan Keluargaku

2009-01-27T20:48:00.000-08:00

Theme for January 2009 is "Me and My Family"

One of art and craft activity of this theme is to make a family album. I have sorted a few of our photos, but unfortunately I haven't found the good ones for me and papa hehehe. This will be an album about our family. Azka glue these pictures on the paper and he made the title, because he needs to work on his fine motoric skill so...I made dots for him to trace. Voilllaa....you can take a look at his work ;)

The Naughty Mole

2009-01-27T18:15:00.005-08:00

The Naughty Mole is a title of a book, Azka's been reading this whole week. I don't know why he interested so much in this book. This book already had been his read aloud book when he was in younger age. But all of sudden he started asking me to read this book again. The story is about a mole (something like mouse) named Ben. He can't sleep during the winter although his father n mother tells him to do so. Ben just wants to stay awake and play. So when all of his family tucked up in their beds, Ben has a plan to set off for an adventure. He slides down the hill and makes a snowman, and after that he feels very cold. He can't find his way home, because of snow has covered up his footprint. Ben wandering around miserably without knowing anything. He sees a young mouse ice skating on the pond. They get acquinted, and Ben tries to do the same. But unfortunately the ice he stands for is crack n "splashh" he goes under the freezing water below. Luckily there are papa rabbit and his son looking for firewood nearby can hear his crying n help him.

Meanwhile, all of Ben's family finally find out that Ben is missing. So they looking after him.
The moral message in this story is that....
1) say sorry when you are wrong and give many troubles to others
2) listen to your parents when they ask you to do something

I hope azka will learn something in this book of value ;)

To The Zoo

2009-01-26T17:36:00.000-08:00

During last weekend on the Chinese New Year, we went to the Ragunan Zoo. Actually we didn't plan to go there. It was because Bude n Pak de n the whole family go there, and Azka persisted that he must go too. I just came home from liqo, and his father had to go to the office coz of duty call. I thought, since mba sum didn't accompany the family, Bu de will be very busy chaperon all those girls hehehe. So I finally made a decision to go with them.

Yeahhh, azka gave a really big applause for us (me and qorin). It was such a lovely trip since that was along weekend. Because of unpreparedness, I must back to our house to pick up things such milk for both of them (azka n qorin), their new clothes, and mineral water.

We took the highway...and in the short time we already there ;)
At the zoo, Nasya and Azka really excited to rent a bycle but...they all rent out ;), because of so many people interested in bcyling with their family. The weather was cloudy, but it made us really enjoy the trip coz we finally took a walk...really long walk hehehe. Azka really curios to see all the animals in the cage such as fish, monkeys, snake and other reptil including crocodile, tiger, lion and etc. We had a chance to feed deers. Maybe it was time for them to take a lunch because most of the deer gathered up near the fence. It was easy for us to feed them, and the food such grass and other leaves were there as it meant for us to feed them ;). We look out for hipoppotamus but unfortunately they didn't come up from the water below. Azka would like to see elephant but there wasn't any of them to be seen. And the kids really having so much fun because they had a chance to ride on a camel. First, it was Nazmi, Aufa and Nasya. And then qorin said she would to try it too ;) such a brave girl she is, coz Azka wouldn't dare to ride on it. She accompanied by Bu de since Azka wouldn't let me to let him alone hikkss.

Btw during our long walk qorin always left behind because of her curiosity. Yes, she would stop...took little longer for her to observed animals and their environtment. She is a daredevil hihihi, she even had the courage to take a look really really close to a giant snake. Meanwhile her cousin and of course Azka just running here n there and said "hhhiiiiiii....ularrr besarrr". Without doubt and hesitation just came near the pawang and what a funny thing was that we all the grown ups behind just stare at her curiosity and I, almost fainted hahaha. And qorin took red seeds every time she could find one. I helped her pointing here n there, but she did it on her own.

Well I guess eventhough this wasn't something we didn't plan, but it turned out to be an enjoyfull fieldtrip. If I knew this sooner, I will give them a worksheet to work out (download from internet about 'fieldtrip to the zoo' ). But I guess it's OK. The most important thing is that our children learn about animals on the spot ;).

At home, during his time to go to bed Azka asked much question about the animals he has seen that day. For example he asked, why tiger always sleep during the day? Was it because of we (human) looking at him all the time? I just gave a short explanation about this, I said because tiger has different habit from us human. I took him as an example, Azka always wakes up in the morning and take a nap during the day and wake up again to play and learn something in the noon. But for tiger, it always take a long nap during the day, and wakes up in the night to hunt for other animals because it is a carnivore (he already knew what it means), but because it is in the cage it doesn't go anymore hunting but only wakes up in the night n wait for it meals. You should hear his continous question of 'whyy' hehehe.

Looking forward to another vacation ;) and wonder what we could learn from it. I hope it will coming soon hehehe.

Before HS Time

2009-01-04T21:01:00.001-08:00

Finally...I could only finish a quarter of my task to create HS Curricullum for Azqor. But still it is something to be praise for hehehe (Alhamdulillah). Anyway...I made a curricullum based on theme study. And for each theme, my focus is more to develop Azqor motoric skill both on hard and fine motoric skill. This can be done through making science and art projects. Of course I'll have those activities suit my children age (2+ otherwise I will confuse and my children will frustate). Why science and art projects? because I think children love to mess everything (in a way to learn something, right?) so these projects will certainly play and learn in one time. During art projects of course azqor will have to cut, glue, and paint something with their hands (this will enhance fine motoric skill) while science projects will keep their enourmos curiosity high and of course to observe how things work.

Theme for the first this three months will be about "Me and My Family", "Home Sweet Home", and "Me and My Senses". In each theme, I've designed (based on books, browsing internet and recreate myself) activities that will enhance azqor skills that I focus on. Anyway theme "Me and My Family" should begin this month (Jan 2009). I've already made some preparation for materials needed.

Well...Let's begin for Week 1.

Dede Disapih

2009-01-04T20:46:00.000-08:00

Pas ultahnya yang ke-2, mama dah niatin untuk nyapih si dede. Tapi ternyata hari H lewat, karena pas hari H (30 Des 2008) mama n papa masih harus ngantor. Mendekati dede ultah kami dah sering ngingetin dede, kalo nanti dia bakalan disapih ketika nanti dia berusia 2 thn. Kadang terlontar ledekan kl 'nenen'nya jadi pahitlah or digigit kucinglah. Qorin seh tetep cuek nenen selalu dengan santainya. Kadang mama ajakin ngobrol kalo nanti ultahnya tiba dede ga nenen mama lagi ya, dia pun ngejawab "he'eh" dengan cueknya dan lanjut nenen lagi hehehe.

Akhirnya Kamis, 1 Des 2009 dede dicoba untuk disapih. Pagi hari dia masih nenen (mamanya lupa hehehe) trus agak siang mama ngolesin brotowali (hueekkk asli baunya ga enakkk). Anehnya qorin tetep cuekkk, wah binun jg neh kalo ga berhasil harus pake apalagi. Ga tega juga seh ketika siang hari dia bobo tanpa dinenenin dulu hikksss. Sampai hari ini dede dah ga nenen lagi. Ehm ada kalanya kalo malem dia ga tenang karena minta nenen (kasiaaan), but mommy got to do what mommy got to do honey.

Si Dede Ultah ke-2

2009-01-04T18:48:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah, dede Qorin dah 2 thn umurnya. Yap tgl 30 Desember 2008 yl. Ehm karena dihari itu mama n papa masih masuk kerja, so kita ga bisa nyiapin perayaan apapun buat si dede. Apalagi di hari itu papa n pak de malah kudu pulang lebih malem. Akhirnya ada perayaan sederhana karena bu de nyempetin diri bikin kue ultah untuk Qorin (makasih Bu de!).

Malam itu para krucil sepupu azqor ngumpul di rumah ditemenin bu de n mama. Terjadi sedikit kehebohan karena si dede pengen langsung motong kuenya n aufa tertarik dengan kado qorin. Sementara azka begging terus untuk bisa buka salah satu kado si dede, padahal dia juga dibawain kado ma mba aufa ;). Dan puncak acara tiba (saat peniupan lilin) ternyata yg antusias untuk meniup lilin si dede yang berultah adalah para sepupunya terutama mba aufa. Weleh weleh jadilah ketika seharusnya Qorin meniup lilin, dia cuma pfuiihh pfuuihhh artificial karena lilinnya dah padam hahaha.

Segala doa terpanjat untuk si dede mulai dari semoga sehat selalu, tambah cantik, tambah ndut, n ga suka ngambek lagi, suka bantu mama n papa, n lekas disapih.

Happy B'Day Honey!!!
We wish you all the best

Homeschooling Underconstruction...

2008-12-17T00:52:00.000-08:00

Hello, long time no see ;>

yup it's been busy period for me. I'm preparing a curriculum for Azka and Qorin for homeschooling. Although I'm still not very sure about it...coz I'm a working mother and be at home around 7 pm hikss. So I kinda doubt is it going to work??

But any way I must find a way or the other way around right? Because I have problem with Azka, he refuses to go to school. He ever attended Playgroup but it lasted for only a semester hikkkss. OMG...as his parent of course I have my concerns hikks. We got to do what parents got to do! the period of blaming ourselves is over now, it was no good. Yes I think we have done a mistake by rolling him to a PG while he was only 2 years. It was too early for him. And maybe it was the school environtment didn't suite him right, coz he was the smallest child in that class.

And now he's already 4 years old. If I just let him stay at home and do nothing in the day when we are working, I feel totally wrong. So we try to discuss this problem over and over again. Up until now he still refuse to go to school. But his eargerness to learn is so enermous (like most of children are ;>). He likes our story telling, he is very curious child, and he likes books very much.
He is very comfortable when we play school at home and willing to learn n do anything I asked such as coloring etc. (of course in a fun way otherwise he will teach me how to run the school in the play hahaha).

And we concern about the education here in Indonesia, that every child who enter elementary school (SD) must have writing and reading skills. Even in Finland which has the best education system in the world doesn't use this criteria. And they taught these skill during the elementary. Something wrong?? yes of course this high standard has make every early education institution in Indonesia force their pupils to master these skills in a very early stage of their life. Kindergarten should only play and preparing their hard and fine motoric to be ready to write and read. NOT Mastering them hiksss.

I'm Beautiful...

2008-12-17T00:37:00.001-08:00

Sure every girl in this whole world is beautiful in her own way ;).

That's what mama n papa say to Qorin each n every single day that she's beautiful. She will you know proud in her funny way. We all (me familia-red) couldn't resist to say that to her...
"honey you are so beautiful"

And I guess that's already...memorize in her little brain ;) so when her brother said to her that she's ugly in a way of teasing her, she will say out loud to him
"atik...akuh atikk..." (beautiful...I'm beautiful-red) in a very strong voice and sometime she became very angry about it. Well maybe she doesn't know that's only meant for teasing her.

Yes Azka love her so much, but sometime he can't resist himself to be annoying, maybe that's his way of showing his affection to his sista ;). Sometime I told him that's not a big brother do to show love...then I will show him how exactly what should he do. But then he went on "gemes" and said that's for emen (he called his sista by saying nickname "emen" like his giant panda doll-hikks)

Laskar Pelangi

2008-10-16T01:20:00.000-07:00

Novel debutan Andrea Hirata ini dah mama lahap abis ketika pertama kali muncul. Dah dari awal september ditungguin kaya gimana seh versi filmnya. Sungguh terlalu! eh sungguh bikin penasaran maksudnya hehehe. Akhirnya kesampaean jg nonton filmnya launching premiernya di Planet Hollywood tanggal 25 September lalu. Wuiiihhh ngantri u/ beli tiketnya. Dan ternyata kita dapet seat almost paling depan (no. 2 dari depan) yah lumayan seh secara dah penasaran daripada mati penasaran hahaha. Walaupun ga terlalu sesuai ma imajinasi mama hehehe tetapi lumayan deh menghibur. Para pemain ciliknya asli anak belitong sana so soal logat melayu mereka ga usah diragukan lagi (secara itu dah jd bahasa sehari2 mereka kalleee).

Paling pemain besutan jakarta yg jadi pemeran org dewasanya seperti peran bu mus, ibu n bpknya ikal, bapaknya lintang, pak arfan si kepala sekolah. kalo di rating yg terjelek ya ibunya ikal (rieke dyah pitaloka) dia ga dapet logat melayunya cenderung teriak2 ga jelas pake logat apa! Untuk bu mus...yg diperanin sama cut mini lumayan bagus, tapi ada satu adegan dimana dia malah pake logat jawa ketika dia berkomunikasi ma pak arfan karena rekan guru di sd tsb mengundurkan diri. Ketaoan jg kalo adegan itu takenya di beda tempat (abis viewnya beda seh) itu kalo diteliti dan dicermati hehehe.

Kenapa mama jd komen gitu. Ya iyalah masa ya iya donk (duren ajah dibelah, bukan dibedong hayyyahhhh basi kali maa hahaha).

Soalnya mama nonton 2x. Yang kedua ketika lebaran hari ke-2 mama nonton ma azka. Yap that's his first experience to go the theatre. I told him, that when the movie is just about to begin the light will go out. He asked me why? I said so everybody will see clearer. Then he said even though the light will go out I won't be afraid mom, I will be brave. And he proved that he's a brave boy.

I told him about the summary of the story and the moral side of the story.He only watched for 45' after that he went sleeping (we bought the ticket to watch at 19.30...so yes it was time for him to go to bed).

Libur Lebaran 2008

2008-10-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

Heloo....yup it's been along time fellas!

During last Lebaran vacation, I was ended up sick (coz of diarrhea uuggh). It was very very annoying I must back to the toilet for almost a hundred times (at least that's what I felt kekeke)
Before this holiday began, I was keep thinking about my plan to play with my cute little angels and of course spare my time to make cookies for Idul Fitri.

I couldn't do both of those plan. It was damage (and u know why hikks ;< )
I just laid awake in my bed, doing nothing not even eat anything. I had my books with me and of course my little angels accompanied me. They kept playing their own games, I just noticed them from my bed (really really feel tired).

Alhamdulillah, I was getting better when the d-day came. But it was still tiring for me even just to walk. So everything should be slow and steady even for my s** life (oopss) hahaha. Enough about me.

Yeah, I should tell you guys more about those little angels of mine. They are just amazing in their own simple way. I really had a great time with them. I wish in next holiday (Dec '08) we all in good health body n soul. So we can spend more quality time as a family.

Ini Apa, Apa ini

2008-09-17T20:08:00.000-07:00

Wah dah lama neh ga isi blog azqor. Cerita dah tambah banyak demikian juga dgn kemajuan anak2. Nah sekarang lagi pengen cerita tentang si dede Qorin. Dia dah tambah besar alhamdulillah. Lagi suka berlari, manjat (apaaa ajah hehehe termasuk jendela), menari ngikutin irama lagu anak dan belajar melompat. Kalo dah gitu mama n papa seneng nanggepinnya...abis lucu sekaliii :)

Dede sekarang tambah cerewet kekeke, maksudnya jadi rajin nanya benda2 di buku, di rumah, dll. Pertanyaannya simpel dan sering diulang2 (kadang pegel juga jawabnya...hehehe). Misalnya kemaren mama bawain buku animals n its environment wahhh dia tanya apa nih ma, ma ini apa? dengan menunjukkan jarinya ke gambar binatang2 yg ada di buku itu. Padahal sebagian yg ade tanyain tuh dia dah tau jawabanya, tp menurut mama mungkin dia seneng denger orang lain mengucapkannya sekalian belajar ngomong (kan Qorin blom fasih ngomongnya...) untuk satu gambar binatang 3x nanya dan pindah ke gambar lainnya (kadang balik lagi hehehe). Fase ini emang biasanya terjadi pada anak usia menjelang 2 tahun, nanti dengan bertambahnya usia...pertanyaannya akan menjadi kenapa/bagaimana (untuk azka di tahun 3 sampe sekarang tuh masih..soalnya kenapa??? hehehe)

We welcome all your questions darling,
coz we know you are learning just about everything!

Telur Ajaib

2008-09-17T19:47:00.000-07:00

Minggu lalu ketika liburan akhir minggu (6 September 2008) mama dan azka mengadakan eksperimen. Taeelllaaa eksperimen nihh yeee, ceritanya begini...

Malam Sabtu mama bawa pulang majalah bee junior edisi khusus...di salah satu halamannya ada
cara membuat telur mengapung. Sebenernya info ini dah pernah azka liat di buku ensinya. Tapi karena bee junior dengan gambar kartunnya lebih menarik kalii ya. Azka mama ajak untuk mencoba bikin telur ajaib seperti yang dibuku itu besok pagi. Ehhh bener ajah, azka nagih janji untuk bikin telur ajaib (padahal mamanya lagi bikin kastengel hemm yummy!). Janji kan harus ditepati pa lagi ma seorang anak hehehe. So urusun cookies ditinggal dulu. Langsung deh kita siapin bahan2nya, apa ajah hayooo??!

Bahan:
2 gelas air
2 buah gelas beling transparan (biar keliatan efek perubahannya)
garam dapur (lumayan banyak ;>)
2 butir telur
1 buah sendok makan

Cara:
1. isi air ke dalam gelas masing2.
2. masukkan 1 butir telur ayam pada salah satu gelas
3. untuk gelas ke-2, masukkan garam terlebih dahulu lalu aduk menggunakan sendok
4. masukkan telur ke dalam gelas yg berisi air garam

Sekarang coba lihat perbedaannya!
telur yg berada di air tanpa garam akan tenggelam dan telur yang dimasukkan pada gelas berisi air garam akan mengapung.

Azka seneng banget...apalagi dia diberi kepercayaan untuk nyiapin bahan2 percobaan pertamanya sendiri. Trus mengaduk sendiri air garamnya dan memasukkan telur ayam ke dalam masing2 gelas. Trus dia nanya kenapa kalo ada garamnya telur bisa mengambang di air. Ehm mama ngejelasin kalo ini seperti di laut yang airnya banyak mengandung garam jadi benda2 bisa mengapung. Azka bilang kaya kapal laut yah ma :> wow kien juga dia dah ngerti. Mama sedikit singgung juga berat jenis gitu2 deh (hehehe terlalu berat dicerna deh kayana).
Pertanyaan azka yang kedua, kenapa air laut asin...sapa yang kasih garamnya (wahhh cerdas juga, untung jawabannya dah disiapin hehehe, mama bilang karena di laut banyak mineral yg mengandung garam asalnya dari binatang laut yg mati berjuta2 tahun yl) mudah2an dimengerti ;)

Nah, niatnya seh kalo dia masih penasaran mama mo nyari bahan tentang laut dsb. Tapi cukup sekian dulu. Ternyata anak2 suka bereksperimen dan membuat sesuatu.

So let's have fun with science!!!

Juara Krupuk

2008-08-24T20:55:00.000-07:00

Azka tujuh belas agustusan lalu ikutan lomba makan krupuk. Lucu deh liat anak2 pra-tk makan krupuk. Interpretasi mereka atas perintah makan kerupuk beda2 kekeke. Contohnya Azka n Shauki ketika bunyi peluit tanda lomba dimulai, mereka berdua yang langsung lari...untung Azka cuma lari bolak balik hihihi. Agak bingung gitu trus langsung deh disantap krupuknya, tp sayang Shauki malah ga balik lagi tuh hehehe. Umminya sibuk foto-in dia, padahal dia ga suka kayana difoto. Sementara Azka lumayan cepet makan krupuknya (wahhh emang dia doyan banget seh!) tp sama Azka ga dikunyah, dilepehin dan dgn sigap ngelanjutin makan krupuk yg masih bertengger di tali gantungan hahaha.

Ketika peluit tanda selesai, krupuk Azka dah habis tp panitia liat dia ga makan krupuknya. Timbang punya timbang akhirnya azka dimenangin. Alasannya karena masih kelompok pra-tk toh. Ini lomba makan krupuk azka yg kedua, tahun lalu dia juara 2 (tp krupuknya beneran dimakan). Rupanya strateginya diubah ma Azka dengan tidak dikunyah hehehe.

N sebagai hadiahnya Azka dapet tas ransel....Wahhh senengnya!
dia bangga banget (padahal dia dah punya 3 di rumah) n lgs minta buku tulis, buku iqro, n buku menggambarnya plus uang mainannya dimasukin ke tas itu. Setiap malem mo tidur dia minta belajar (kl belajar artinya Azka mo menulis, menghubungkan garis or mewarnai).
Congrats boy!

Heaven's On Earth

2008-08-07T21:55:00.000-07:00

Kaya judul film ajah ya....well it's sound good. Mungkin agak dipaksain antara judul dengan tulisan ini hehehe. But it's eye cacthing, one reason of good writing, nope I mean a writing that could be read :>.

Semalem mama mengenalkan konsep yang abstrak ma Azka. Apaan tuh? Allah, Rasulullah, surga.
Sebenernya ini bukan yang pertama kalinya. Tapi mama pikir baru semalem deh Azka ngerti maksudnya, karena kan dah menjelang 4 tahun Alhamdulillah.

Kebetulan dari kemarin mama dipinjemin majalah ummi ma temen ktr mama. Nah karena di rumah mbah Uti lagi nginep kan pas tuh, beliau jadi bisa membaca. Malemnya mama sengaja baca ummi trus nunjukkin pojok buat anak which is Habib n Hilwa (kartun seri anak islami). Ceritanya si Hilwa punya dua es krim yang satu ditawarin ke abangnya Habib, tetapi bang Habib menolak dengan halus karena dia sedang shaum. Hilwa heran kok dari kemaren si abang puasa terus. Akhirnya bang Habib cerita kalo dia mo melatih diri puasa seblum ramadhan tiba dan di bulan sya'ban ini bagus loh berpuasa seperti yg dianjurkan Rasulullah SAW. Trus si abang cerita kalo dia dah kangen ma ramadhan, ceritanya bikin Hilwa jadi ikutan kangen ramadhan dimana dia bisa ngumpul di masjid mengaji, sahur dan berbuka bersama.

Nah ditengah cerita habib n hilwa, mis. ketika habib menjawab kenapa dia puasa, mama selipin alasan kita puasa (perintah Allah, Allah tuh siapa, nabi kita Muhammad).

Setelah cerita Habib n Hilwa, lanjut ke hal. perkenalan dgn temen2 kecil kak Permata. Wah ini lebih asik lagi, karena Azka minta ayooo ma bacain lagi pas liat foto2 sahabat cilik kak Permata. Trus mama bacain ke Azka mis. foto si A dia darimana alasan dia menulis ke kak Permata n jawaban kak Permata. Yang menarik adalah ada salah satu foto kakak beradik (co ce) mama bilang mirip Azka dan dede qorin trus disitu ia bercerita betapa ia sayang adenya walupun kadang adenya suka jail. Mama masukin deh nilai2 kasih sayang kakak n ade. Mama bilang wahh kakak sama ya dengan si A sayang dede. Dibilang kaya gitu azka langsung hepi abis hehehe, nambahin kalo dia juga suka minjemin ade qorin mainan (ga selalu seh ihihihi). Nah mama juga berperan jadi kak Permata, berpesan sama azka untuk senantiasa berbuat kebajikan karena kalo perbuatan baik kita banyak nanti kita bisa masuk surga. Mulai deh dia nanya surga itu apa. Mama bilang surga adalah tempat paling indah dimana disana banyak hadiah buat kita (pas ga ya hehehe). Azka nanya ada mainan ga? oh mama bilang banyak sekali trus mama terangin juga kalo surga itu bertingkat2 tergantung banyak sedikitnya kebaikan kita (mama kasih tau berbuat baik itu misalnya menolong orang lain, mengambil minum sendiri, hehehe mulai deh kritikan buat azka mis. dia suka males ambil minum sendiri). Mama deskripsiin pake tangan...bentuk tangga...nah tangga yg paling tinggi disana tempat mainan yg paling keren n mahal. Trus mama langsung nanya (agak teriak)...sapa yang mo ke surga tunjuk tangan? azka dengan ghiroh langsung .....AAAkuuuuuu, mama juga ikutan teriak aakkkuuu. Wah heboh deh.

Akhirnya selesai deh baca majalahnya (kan cuma 2 hal, tp banyak improvisasi jd lama hehe). Azka minta besok mama pagi2 tulis buat kak Permata kalo dia mau berbuat baik (waahhh terharu banget!), tapi mama jelasin lagi kalo Allah dah pasti tau niat azka. Azka juga minta fotonya n ade qorin dimasukin jadi sahabat kak Permata.

Seneng banget deh, mama ngerasa puas hehehe bisa menerangkan ke dia dengan cara yang dia suka.

The keypoint is...it is very simple n easy to teach our children, just be part of them n learn together with them. Let them show you what they would like to learn. Let them guide you....
don't push them, they will get away from you. Because they are actually a true learner.

Pasar Malam

2008-08-07T20:24:00.000-07:00

Embuh gimana ceritanya, si sulung Azka jadi suka banget nonton pasar malam. Itu loh pasar dadakan yang diselenggarakan mulai sore hingga malam hari, dengan tempat berpindah2. Biasanya di daerah rumah kami ada 3 tempat. Malem Sabtu di komplek kami dekat Rendy's Mart, trus malem minggu di depan perumahan Arinda Permai, terakhir Senin malem di sepanjang Gang Sapri. Biasanya azka selalu liat2 pasar malam yg di Rendy's Mart. Hebohhhh banget kalo sampe ketinggalan hehehe. Padahal di malem itu mama ada jadwal pengajian, dan biasanya dia suka ikutan karena jadi bisa ketemu sama temen2 co-nya seperti farhan, dkk. Namun keasikan maen sama temen terkalahkan dengan pesona pasar malam hihihi. Jadi kalo pas mama pulang jum'at malam, Azka dah sibuk mengingatkan kalo malem ini jadwal dia liat pasar malam. Dulu sih agak2 ganggu jadwal mengaji mama (karena harus dianter mamanya), kalo sekarang wuiiih cuek bebek tuh ga dianter jg dia OK. Ya jelas kami ga tega, so paling dianter Mba Sum or Mba Gawin kekeke.

Ternyata yang membuat Azka seneng pasar malam adalah...eng ing eng...mancing ikan! Itu lho mancing ikan di kolam plastik dengan air boro2 setengah penuh (paling 1/4 kolam). Ikannya juga plastik alias mainan dgn berbagai bentuk dari buaya, bintang laut, bebek, bola, dll. Nah dengan membayar 1000 perak Azka bisa memancing apa aja sampai embernya penuh (setiap anak yg mancing di beri 1 buah ember kecil n alat pancing) dan bisa dilakukan lagi dan lagi dan lagi (hehehe soalnya kalo embernya dah penuh bisa dituang kembali ke kolam n mulai mancing lagi deh ;>). Keajaiban kedua adalah, selesai mancing setiap anak boleh memilih hadiahnya masing2 mulai dari balon, gundu, gambaran, pensil, dll. Wuuiiihh senengnya!

Menurut mama si abang/ibu penjual jasa mancing ini jenius sekali. Bayangpun mereka dah pake reward tuk para bocah pemancing no matter what, mo dikit or banyak hasil pancingannya dihargai sesuai keinginan masing2. Ibarat kata usaha si kecil tak luput dari penghargaan.

Salut deh!

Dare to Dream and Dare to Share

2008-07-18T01:57:00.000-07:00

We are not only have the braveness to dream but dare to share our dreams also.
Why...
Because when we sharing our dreams to our spouses, family n friends we will be more motivated and we are sure they will listen to our dreams no matter weird our dreams are seem to others. And of course persons who listen to our dreams will help us to reach our dreams. At least they believe our dreams will come true.

How about you? have u share your dreams and listen others dreams?

Tax Introduction

2008-07-18T01:01:00.000-07:00

My dearest son Azka two days ago just learn about the benefit of paying taxes :) How come?
Well the story goes like this:
It was night...about time to read him a story. He picked the old topic as usual "Tania Peranti dan Geng Lacak", it is a flip book. One of the flip shows about the situation under the street. There are many pipes and cables such as gas, water, telephone cables and waste disposal pipes. The first line of this flip says that these are things that make our lives comfortable. This line inspired me to told him it cost us to have a comfortable life that's why we pay taxes, however not all those things are available in Pd. Aren especially in our complex. We don't have telephone cable n I'm not sure about waste disposal pipes run through our complex. Azka asked me again why they are not there....I told him that if our government pay attention we should have them right away and I said to him also that it needs big cost to have them. That's why we must take care of them if we have them by then.

Although we have read this book so many many times...I've never mentioned about taxes before until that night. I felt proud n happy just to told that I'm a taxwoman hehehe. He was happy too...he wanted me to tell more n more. But for me it was getting complicated hehehe how do you told an almost 4 years about taxes?

Ya rather difficult after the introduction, but I remember one of my friend's writing in JICA's book about teaching taxes to children as easy as teaching them ABC. It is very common issue in Japan n other developed countries that children have already been introduced about taxes since early ages. After all, children are our future taxpayers. But not here! we don't have any idea...and our government seems far too busy (???) and what about DGT?

Well at least I've done my part. I Hope the rest will follow.
Lao Tzu said : A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

What about you?

Keep on the great job gal!

Three Persons in Our Dreams

2008-07-03T02:31:00.000-07:00

according to my fellow member of catalyst tm club Wirzal in his BM#2 speech...in achieving our dream we must have these persons:
1. Our role model
it is a person who has achieved his/her dream already. In his example he cited that his biggest dream is to become #1 a trainer in Indonesia. Big dream he said, n he said yes of course we must dream big things in our lives. When he said this I remember a saying that goes like this...put your dream high up in the sky, when you fall at least you still will be among the stars.
I agree with him
2. Our supporters
Our supporters are persons that will support us n behind our sucess in achieving our dreams. These persons always believe in us, that we can reach our dreams. It can be our friends, our spouses, our son/daughter, and of course our parents
3. Our competitor/rival
this person is the same level as we are or person that have the same dreams. This person can make us more motivated so we can do the best we can. It goes the same with her/him expect the best from us. When we finally reach our dreams it is the best effort we made.

Ehm really good speech, don't u think? I thought that my dream will easily come true if I focus on myself and my prayer (God) hehehe.

Let's Dream fellas!

Advice for all of Us

2008-07-03T01:02:00.000-07:00

In this world there are many people n things that capture our mind. Those are good and bad things. But one thing for sure to me is that whatever it is...good or bad, as a moslem we should think it is good. Why...because if it is good things then it will stay good if we grateful to Allah, and if it bad things it will be good if we understand the meaning of this things, why it shall happen to us. Try to get the essence of what inside of those things. I think that's the way the Omnipotence teaches us.

Sometime we don't realize it. It is merely accident and no pretence at all. No way...
all things happen because it is necessary to happen. Allah always mean it to happen. And sure as human we have our own desires n wants. Yes Almighty involves that in His will, He will change something bad into good or vise versa it is depend on our own effort. That's why I said in my theme for gtalk n skype : it is up to us...to shape our future. So don't blame others or situation n condition if something bad happen to you! hehehe

As a moslem we pray five times in a day (that's compulsory) that's our last resort of effort. Pray..but sure Allah likes us even better than saying our prayers. Do something first... then say our prayers. Because after doing what we might there's still one power....His power n will. It is up to Him, and believe me He always give us the best. For better or worse my friends, He always with us no matter what. So what do you think, is it still worse after all His presence and accompanion?

Madam President

2008-07-03T00:45:00.000-07:00

Kekeke ;) Yes mama is a madam president. Not because of papa become a president (hihihi married to a president dunk). It's my toastmaster club "the Catalyst" appointed me to serve in my club as a president. That's my duty to be a servant of my club n members. Well of course I'm proud n anxious. Actually this is for the first time in any organization I've ever joined in, to be this big responsibility. I'm the captain of my club n my fellow members. Really it is an honour to me. Anxious...coz will I be a good captain? bring my club growing up n of course see my fellow members focus on their goals. This is not a piece of cake matter! it is hard and need alot of sacrifice such my time, energy and thought. It is a big job! but for sure I have my team...my exco n my Vice Presidents : of education Ibu Rosita Taufieq Herman, of PR mba Olin, of Membership Erikson anf of course my Treasurer Ibu Ken Didi Waluyo, secretary Saura n SAA Cahyo and last but not least my lovely immediate past president mba Nafis. These people will help me n remind me of my duty. Along the way..they are not new to me I've been working with them in this couple of years (since I joined in 2006). Well wish us luck friend!

Hope we could make this club florish :)
Go Catalyst!

Qorin Suka Susu

2008-06-17T23:43:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah sejak awal bulan ini, Qorin jadi suka susu. Pipinya jd bertambah gembil. Dulu ya ampun..tobat deh kalo minta dede buat mi cucu. Susunya akhirnya dimainin or dilepehin, ehm dulu memang qorin ga suka menyedot susu dari botol jadi solusinya makanannya ditambah unsur susu misalnya bikin schotel. Tapi itu ga bikin dia gembil hehehe, sekarang dia mau walaupun maunya susu azka (dancow untuk anak 3 tahun sampe sekrg seh ga bermasalah dengan pencernaan dia untungnya).

Tapi mama jd binun, ehm nti gimana ngelepas dia dengan botolnya ya secara azka ampe sekarang blom bisa tuh ga bisa minum susu pake wadah lain hiksss. Harusnya kemaren doa mama lengkap ya...semoga minum susu gampang n ngelepas dotnya gampang. Wah doanya masih bisa disusulin kan? :))

Menyibak Rahasia Hutan

2008-06-17T23:21:00.000-07:00

Buku "menyibak rahasia hutan" masih jadi favorit azka sampe minggu lalu. Dia seneng cerita si Rusa kecil n itik kecil yang suka berpetualang di hutan. Di buku yang bersirip ini azka jadi tahu ttg perkembangan dan pertumbuhan binatang n alam. Misalnya itik kecil dulu waktu masih kecil berbulu tipis n berwarna hitam ketika dewasa menjadi itik cantik dengan bulu yg berwarna/i. trus ada berbagai musim (beda seh mang ma di Indonesia) ada musim salju trus binatang apa saja yg tidur dimusim salju, pertumbuhan pohon dll. Yang paling disuka azka ma qorin adalah gambarnya yg begitu hidup dan bagi azka petualangan itik kecil yg pemberani sampai ke pinggir laut. Nah disirip2 pas halaman itu ada berbagai binatang yg hidup di pantai kayak kelomang. Wah dia seneng banget karena sebelumnya dia dibeliin kelomang papanya. Dia jd tau habitat kelomang. Btw kelomang azka bermutasi ke rumah siput heran n takjub karena sebelumnya pernah ilang. ck ck ck bener2 pengetahuan baru untung dibuku ensi anak2 "kehidupan di air" ada tuh ttg kelomang, ternyata cangkang kelomang tidak bertambah besar sementara badannya tumbuh besar jd rumah yg lama udah ga muat lagi, makanya dia cari rumah baru. Hehehe seumur2 mama jadi merasa cerdasss banget ketika bisa nerangin kenapa kelomang Azka ganti rumah (ternyata fakta ini jg papa baru tau...hihihi).

Opik

2008-06-17T22:42:00.000-07:00

For sure it isn't one of books I've read lately hehehe. He actually a friend of my son Azka. He's already 4 years old. He just moved out to this neighborhood although not really in our complex. He just so independent, yes at least for his age. He usually plays alone, with his bike or his big truck. And azka will allow him to enter our house and play with everything he has.

What amazed me is that...they're so click to each other. azka always ask him to use this and that. Sometime he agree sometime he had a better thing to do according to his will. And Qorin will be delighted with his presence :). But not me...yes I'm happy for my kids to have a friend to play with especially for azka who really like to play along with his "boy" friend (compare to his cousins..they all girls) but I don't like about he go here n there in our house without any manner go around to bedrooms (even azka will knock first..) I feel like he so brave in such a negative way and without any guardian looking for him. No one of his family member were looking for him, if he stayed for hours at our house. It shocked me, and I wonder why??? So I began to tell him that at this time it is usually time to take a nap, so you better go home n we will play again. ehm little bit sarcastic :( well I dun want my kids schedule of sleeping mess up coz up a kid even his mother's name I dunno know although they really love to play with. I sound like a very discipline mother.

I began to asked mpo who this kid really is. She said, opik is left alone with his sister and an auntie while his parents working at market selling vegetables. So his auntie who suppose to look out for him, but she didn't do her job. She just stay in the house cleaning or doing something there n left opik play alone. I wonder if his parent know about this. Meanwhile his sister go to school everyday opik got bored of staying alone at the house. So he began to explore his new neighborhood n found Azka playing alone in our frontyard with so much sand to play with.
That's it, since that he keep coming to our house regularly.

Charlie

2008-06-17T22:27:00.000-07:00

Itu judul buku yg baru sls mama baca. Seru! novel fiksi ttg seorang yg terbelakang mental trus jadi jenius karena di operasi otaknya. Penuturannya bikin qt ngerasa kalo kita adalah si Charlie-nya yg ngalamin itu semua, walopun pas di bagian tengah mirip film hollywood hehehe. Btw ada yg bisa mama petik ketika si charlie harus mengalami...kembali ke memorinya ketika dia masih idiot, disitu mama jadi mikir n mengambil kesimpulan bahwa cara berpikir anak-anak (walopun charlie dah 32 tahun) mang beda ma kita...orang dewasa so dgn tahu cara pikir mereka harusnya kita bisa lebih mengerti anak-anak, karena kita kan dulu juga pernah menjadi anak-anak.

Gaya Nenek

2008-06-04T01:33:00.000-07:00

Lutuna si dede Qorin. Kemaren malem dia bilang nene...nene dengan gaya berjalan yg sambil dibungkukin gitu trus nyengir (I wish I could take her picture then :<) mama heran what's wrong with dede. Qorin tetep ajah kaya gitu sampe mba gawin bilang wahhh si nenek lewat. Qorin langsung ketawa geli karena ulahnya ditanggapin gituh. OOohhh ya ampun dia meniru jalannya nenek-nenek. Tapi tau dari mana ya tu bocah kikiki. Subhanallah... gayanya itu loh persis nenek2 :).

Azka Protes

2008-06-04T01:09:00.000-07:00

Ketika mama nyampe rumah (pc senin lalu) wuihhh mama dapet sambutan luar biasa dari qorin (yg waktu itu sedang di luar menjolok buah seri kikiki ma mbah kung) qorin berteriak2 seneng. N azka dah mo bobo siang lgs bangun menyambut mama dgn antusias dia nanya:
"mama kok pulang...mama dah izin ya?"
"mama nanti sore balik lagi ga?" (dulu mama pernah izin balik ke rumah n balik kantor lagi...waktu qorin panas)
tatapan mata azka yg senang n ingin tau itu bener2 bikin mama merasa campur aduk. mama cuma bilang kalo mama diizinkan pulang lebih cepet hari ini (takutna besok2 jg minta mamanya pulang lebih awal dr kantor). Dan bener ajah, besok paginya menjelang bangun pagi azka nanya "mama izin lagi ya hari ini.."
mama sedih banget denger itu n ga nyanggup berangkat kantor hikss. Gimana jg ngejelasin ke dia betapa dilubuk hati yg paling dalem mamanya jg mo di rumah nemenin dia bobo siang n main seperti sore kemaren lalu. Trus dia jg bilang ke mbah utina kalo mamanya disuruh di rumah aja. mbah uti bilang nanti kalo mama di rumah ajah, azka ga punya maenan banyak. Azka jawab biarin ajah, aku maunya mama kayak bude di rumah ajah. Mbah uti bilang nanti mama ga punya duit. Azka bilang kalo mamanya kan punya ATM jadi bisa tinggal pencet trus keluar uangnya. Mbah utina ketawa waktu itu. Tapi pas mama denger cerita itu dari Mbah Uti, mama miris n pengen nangis. Segitu polosnya anak mama, ya iyalah secara dia baru mo 4 thn.

Ini bikin mama ga kuku, pengen resign dari kantor tp gmn...
di kantor pun mama jadi melow...
maafkan mama azka...

Si Mba

2008-06-04T00:50:00.000-07:00

Senin lalu, mama pc alias pulang cepet dari kantor. Mbah Warni pulkam dan qorin belum terbiasa ma mbanya (mba gawin). Dari sepagian mpe sesiangan di jalan mama kepikiran terus. How is she? tadi pagi pas ditinggal ngantor doi agak2 histeria gituh. Perih banget deh dada mama. Untung papa bisa nemenin dede qorin mpe siang.

Sebenernya dari sebulan yl mbah Warni dah woro-woro kalo mo pulkam, n qt mesti siap dgn sepeninggalannya dia. Wah secara nyari org buat momong hari gini susah banget. Alhamdulillah dah dapet, 3 hari menjelang mbah Warni mudik. Mba gawin ini, masih tetanggaan ma mba darsi yg dulu bantuin mbah uti di rumah. Azka dah biasa ma dia, tp kan ini tetangganya. Kesan pertama ma mba gawin sih insya 4JJ bisa dipercaya, namun kok hp-an melulu ya??!!! denger dari mbah uti kalo dia selalu ga betah kerjanya terakhir ma bu ida (tetangga nyokap...katana dia ga betah karena makanan dijatahin n sarapan ga dikasih).

Kalo di rumah qt seh ga segitunya kalo soal makanan, tp kan itu menurut mba gawin. Takutna ada hal lain yg dia ga cerita hehhe (I just heard from one side of story kan?) so untuk sementara doi qt terima dgn tata tertib di rumah qt. Mudah2an qorin cocok n dia betah. Amin

Home Sweet Home

2008-05-25T21:15:00.000-07:00

Kalo azka suka didongengin, qorin lebih suka membaca sendiri dgn gayanya yg sok dewasa. Buku yg jd favoritnya sampe saat ini "home sweet home" terbitan formasi pustaka lebah. Buku itu ttg my first vocabulary dilengkapi dgn gambar2 ttg benda2 yg ada di sekitar rumah. Alhamdulillah ini mendukung program qorin membaca metode glenn doman, soalnya beberapa kata yg ada di buku tsb sudah pernah qorin dengar melalui pembacaan misalnya susu, kucing, mobil, tas, kamar tidur, dll.

Mencari Tujuh Saudara

2008-05-25T20:52:00.000-07:00

Buku yang digemari azka hingga minggu lalu adalah "Mencari Tujuh Saudara". Buku itu bercerita ttg liburan musim panas yang dihabiskan oleh Nick, Fanny dan Nenek Jisi mencari 7 saudara nenek Jisi yg tinggal berjauhan di belahan bumi lainnya. Ada nenek kitty di AS, nenek Dahlia di Australia, nenek Dinah di China, nenek Sasha di Rusia, nenek Natalie di Italia, nenek Trina di Kenya dan nenek Coco di Mexico.

Buku ini bagus loh u/ belajar geografi (bukan promosi hehehe). Ketika mengadakan perjalanan, mereka menggunakan macam2 alat2 transportasi darat, air dan udara. Jadi Azka belajar macam2 alat transportasi mulai dari yg di darat seperti kuda (di Amerika barat u/ ketemu nenek kitty yg merupakan seorang koboi), bis (ke California menuju Samudera Pasifik ke Australia), jip (di kenya yg tandus di Afrika), kereta api lintas siberia, balon udara berkemudi (dari Australia ke China), kapal laut dll wah seru banget!. selain itu jg mengenalkan macam2 budaya n adat kebiasaan di dunia misalnya di china pake sumpit kalo makan n beryodel di amerika barat, peta dunia, kekhasan binatang di negara2 yg dikunjungi (mis. di australia ada koala, kanguru n platipus), apa yg dihasilkan di masing2 negara tsb, dan masih banyak lagi.
Yang bikin mama seneng selain menambah pengetahuan azka ttg dunia juga menambah keingintahuan dia ttg dunia selain Indonesia. Dia pernah bilang kalo azka pengen sekali jalan2 ke venesia liat gondola (bangga deh hehehe secara mama papa ga tau gondola tuh apaan di usianya dia) n ke australia mo ngasih makan platipus n mo tau luasnya samudera pasifik (amin...mudah2an terwujud ya nak dan semoga ini mengibarkan semangatmu u/ berpetualang dan belajar).

Mulai minggu ini buku favorit azka "menyibak rahasia hutan". Ceritanya nanti ajah ya...let's c how long this book will survive hehehe?

GRSD

2008-05-25T20:09:00.000-07:00

Untuk mengisi waktu, Sabtu kemaren ( 24 Mei 2008) kami sekeluarga iseng-iseng ke Gilang Ramadan Studio Drum (GRSD) di Bintaro Jaya. Ternyata azka antusias sekali wahh seneng deh liat dia langsung minta stick drum trus n main pake drum pad-nya (simulasi drum untuk anak kecil). Padahal niatnya cuma liat-liat in case azka tertarik, ternyata dia enjoy banget. Kami akhirnya mendaftarkan azka ke GRSD, langsung dapat starter kit berupa buku pedoman. Nah kelas di GRSD memang ditujukan untuk semua umur termasuk anak sekecil azka (bahkan ada yg usianya baru 2 thn). Untuk kelas basic maksimal siswa 9 org, masing2 siswa 1 drum pad. Di kelas jg ada drum versi besar. Azka kami jadwalkan di hari Sabtu (untung masih lowong) sore. Materi diberikan dalam waktu 90 menit. Alhamdulillah azka antusias, maklum selama ini dia kan mogok sekolah dan bagi kami sulit sekali meminta dia untuk ikut kegiatan apapun. Sebenernya azka jg sudah trial n error di megami art (depan bintaro plaza) untuk ikut kelas organ/elektron, berhubung usianya waktu itu baru 3 thn n mesti didampingi orgtua (ga boleh mba-nya kecuali dah 4 thn) akhirnya masuk daftar tunggu (karena ga ada jadwal di hari Sabtu...secara mama kan kerja). Jum'at lalu dari megami art telpon ngabarin azka boleh masuk tp kelasnya hari kamis (hikss hari kerja gitu loh....kl ajah Jumat mungkin masih bisa diusahain pc hehehe).

Mudah2an azka tetep semangat, karena nanti kami yg langsung mendampingi (papa mama eh jangan lupa ade Qorin jg ikut). Semoga...

Perlakuan Ortu Kepada Anak

2008-05-13T20:04:00.000-07:00

Ini dapet dari pengajian RT (setiap Jum'at malam di perumahan kami), yang seharusnya diisi ma ustadzah Ambar ternyata beliau berhalangan so diwakili ma salah satu ibu warga komplek.
Menurut Ibu Mumun beliau habis sls baca buku bagus ttg pendidikan anak n ini cuma sebagai sharing ajah, nah dibuku itu (oops sori lupa nama judulna) cara mendidik anak menurut Ali bin Abi Thalib dibagi menjadi 3 perlakuan sesuai dengan usia si anak, yaitu:
1. sejak usia anak 0-7 thn perlakukan ia sebagai raja, so penuhi keinginannya layaknya raja ortu mengabdi dan menghormati anak
2. di usia 8-14 thn perlakukan anak seperti tawanan, so kita ortu yang harus menentukan mana yg boleh dan mana yg tidak boleh, keinginan qt harus (bagaimana caranya) diikuti oleh anak
3. usia 15-21 thn perlakukan anak layaknya sahabat, so ortu adalah teman n curahan keluh kesah anak, ortu mensejajarkan diri dengan anak
Well mama setuju, namun ada satu pertanyaan di usia pra 8 thn anak kan jadi raja tuh (menurut bu Mumun) apakah emang segitu rajanya jd mirip 'your wish is my command' bagi si ortu. Padahal kan jg ada teori yg hrs mengenalkan disiplin sedini mungkin sesuai dgn pemahaman anak, ya kan?

Bingung? Don't be!! karena mama akan mengambil sikap dalam mendidik anak jangan terlalu rigid dengan teori...so lihat situasi n kondisi serta sesuaikan ma prinsip kita sebagai ortu (kan pastinya kita dunk yg tau tipe anak kita sendiri).

Pacaran

2008-05-13T19:39:00.000-07:00

Kemaren malam mama n Mbah Warni terkaget kaget dengan statement Azka. Tidak lama setelah mama pulang kantor, Azka bilang...
"mama nanti aka mau pacaran ah..." hiksss mama langsung batal ke kamar mandi n nyamperin Azka, sementara Mbahnya udah frustasi n bilang kamu kan masih kecil bla bla (intina ga getri gimana ngadepin si mau tahu Azka)

Jujur deh mama shock hehehe, dari kamar mandi menuju ruang tengah tuh mikirin gimana cara yg pas buat jelasin n nanya apa seh yg dia tanya ttg pacaran. Tantangan sekaligus peluang neh. Akhirnya begini deh dialog qt:

"emangnya pacaran itu apa sih nak?" (gali info ttg konsep pacaran dikepala Azka tuh apa seh, terlalu to the point ya?!)
"pokoknya azka pengen punya banyak temen ma" (beloman tergali cukup info neh)
"jadi maksud azka kalo pacaran temennya banyak ya?" (biar bisa dielaborate artinya pacarannya Azka). Ternyata setelah itu Azka diem ajah hikss ga bisa digali lebih deh infona, akhirnya mama peluk Azka trus bilang hebat deh Azka dah tau pacaran (bener ga seh??) trus mama bilang kalo punya banyak temen itu namanya berkawan atau bersahabat, berarti Azka mau jadi anak yg mudah bergaul. Nah kalo pacaran itu buat orang yang udah menikah kaya papa mama sama2 berkawan tapi lebih deket (hikss ga yakin deh ma jawabannya)

Setelah dijelasin gitu Azka memang ga nanya balik (biasanya dia selalu nanya), mama berharap dia ngerti n ga salah pengertian ma konsep pacaran. Niatnya mo ngajarin jg kalo ga ada konsep itu di Islam (so bilangnya buat orang yg dah menikah). Wah musti siap2 neh dengan pertanyaan laen yg bisa bikin terkejut-kejut :>.

Pasar Minggu

2008-05-12T18:51:00.000-07:00

A couple of days ago...when mama got home, Azka asked me to take him to 'pasar minggu' to buy toys. I said...why son? it's so far away from here and it's already nite? He said...no no they still open and it's near Rendy's mart...What??? (me with my surprised look hehehe, it was 'pasar malam' near our house)

He mixed up between pasar minggu n pasar malam hahaaha. But still we didn't go there. It's for consistency, and he went crying :<. I just wanted him to know n understand that it's not going to be right here n now everytime he wants anything. I wanted him to understand, that everything needs process if he wants something he must to do something about it. Yes he did something about it alright hehehe he cried n did little kicking here n there. I dunno why he's so preoccupied with toys. I know he's just a little boy, but I want him to control his emotion. The next day, he asked Mbah Uti to take him to Mbah Uti's house. He wanted to stay the night there...you know why??? Because he's got Om Hendra to buy him toys, he said that Om Hendra must have salary too, so he could bought him toy...he asked for a very big truck!) weleh weleh.

I was little bit dissapointed to found out that Azka wasn't there when I got home (from my office). He really persistent to get what he wants. And it really reminds me of myself hehehe. It is good thing though.

Tumbuh Gigi

2008-05-12T01:14:00.000-07:00

Anak mama kompak banget. Yup Azqor dua2na lagi tumbuh gigi. Azka gigi gerahamnya n Qorin jg. Azka belom keliatan jelas (mungkin karena gigina udah banyak ya hehehe) kalo Qorin seh kliatan jelas banget, bagian geraham atas kanan dah keluar (udah keliatan gigina) smentara yg kiri atas gusinya memerah dan kliatan bengkak (kasian). Seperti yg lalu2 mereka berdua agak males makan. Untuk Qorin plus agak rewel hikss sedikit sedikit mewek gituh, kasiannn.

Si Mau Tahu

2008-05-05T01:37:00.000-07:00

Ketika usianya menuju 2 thn ada saja yang ditanyakannya...awal kalimat tanyanya adalah apa. Apa ini ma? apa itu pa?. Setelah lewat tahun kedua wuiih pertanyaannya tambah berat, dimulai dengan kenapa...tapi dilidahnya berubah jadi senapa? (soalnya kenapa versi cepet nanyanya).
His always asking how things work or why people must do this or that.
Bangga :> tp kadang binun n pusing (gimna jawab versi bahasa anak 3 thn hikkss).

Ini dia pertanyaan Azka ketika weekend kemaren
"senapa kalo ada gludug tv ga boleh nyala?"
"senapa aka disuruh tunggu di sini?, mama takut aka minta beliin mainan ya trus nanti nangis ya" hehehe yang ini dia pake analisanya sendiri (disuruh nunggu di seberang jalan ma mama n ade qorin ketika papanya ngambil uang di atm dan ada toko mainan disana padahal maksudnya seh biar ga kepanasan nyebrang).

Akhir Pekan Lalu...

2008-04-27T18:26:00.000-07:00

Ini pengalaman akhir minggu kemaren. Seru tapi nyesek, soalnya tanpa rencana seh!
Sabtu qt jalan2 ke regency, ternyata pasarnya ada di hari minggu dan ternyata hari minggu papa masuk kantor hikkss. Akhirnya qt jadi beli harum manis buat azka (ngenalin jajanan papa mama waktu cimut dulu) di regency. Trus dilanjut silaturahim ke mbah Uti n Mbah kung di Ciledug. Azka seneng banget karena ketemu ma idolanya (bang iyan---ryan) n maen bareng sama dede echa. Mereka maen seru bangetss..tapi mama ga terlalu fokus ngeliatin mereka krn dede Qorin menangis (kl ditempat baru pasti deh...dia agak jarang ke rmh mbahnya).So Sabtu kemaren gpp deh. Ini ttg Minggunya...karena papa kerja, Mbah Warni pulang otomatis tinggal Bu Yati (the cleaning person in our house since almost this couple of weeks, she doesnt stay with us).

Karena uang ditangan habis jadi deh, mama ke ATM BRI terdekat...yang terdekat itu ya di Ciledug! So kita naek angkot menuju ke sana (qorin tertidur sepanjang jalaan ;>) trus Azka diem ajah (panas bo!) sesekali dia komentar ttg mobil di jalan. Nah sampe di sana, apa tebak?! Maaf untuk saat ini tidak bisa melakukan penarikan tunai! weeleehhhh, BRI kemplung! pasti deh giliran dibutuhin selalu bikin BT. Untung di sebelah ada BNI, dan bisa hehehe finally karena punya uang kita bisa having fun (padahal itu konsep yang salah banget). Karena tadi Azka minta mandi bola yang ada di ramayana so itu kudu muter balik, heheh iseng ditanya ajah lagi apa dia masih tetep pengen mandi bola secara ada lambang timezone diseberang sana! Ternyata dia he'eh mau ke timezone (keputusan yg akhirnya mama sesali hikks). Wah Azka antusias banget ke sana (lokasinya di carrefour ciledug), sebelum sampe ketujuan ternyata di lantai sebelumnya ada mobil2an besar. Karena Azka belum pernah coba permainan ini dan sepertinya bagus untuk koordinasi tangan dan kakinya, mama membolehkan main mobil2an itu. Azka mobil manual dan Qorin dgn yg remote kontrol hehehe ini kayana krn mama dulu belom pernah deh. Untung si Ade mo duduk manis dgn gaya nyetirnya, setelah tau kl punya Qorin bisa pake remote wah si Mas ngiri (soalnya dia harus kerja keras heheehe). Pertama seh mereka barengan pake mobil beromete (mama yg pegang) lama2 Azka tertarik pegang sendiri remotenya dgn si Ade di mobil (lutu deh, Azka bloman gitu gape jadi adenya cuma belok melulu untung gpp heheh). Nah, selanjutnya baru deh ke timezone, di sana ternyata bising banget dgn suara mesin permainan dan lagu yg disetel ga pas (buat org dewasa!!!cinta mulu) nyesek beneran berada di sana (waktu beli tiket cari yg paling murah pengen cepetan get out), kasian de Qorin yg msh kecil. Mama nyempetin diri protes ke penjual tiket ttg terlalu bising n lagu yg ga ngepas buat anak2 (bayangin paling tua yg ikutan maen kan abg!!)

Akhirnya Azka maen kereta api, dia duduk di loko dgn riang (ga terlalu peduli ma suara bisingnya), trus maen getokin tiap tikus yg nongol, n terakhir yg bikin mama menyesal banget maen tembak2an hikksss ternyata tembakannya beneran (bisa berbunyi tembakan dan mendorong ketika ditembak...ga cuma dituding2 doank) mama merasa tolol banget ngajarin Azka kekerasan :`<. Kl de Qorin cm maen mobil2an kaya odong2. Setelah itu qt beneran get out n langsung cari makanan. Dan langsung ke rumah Mbah Uti. Gini deh kalo libur ga dikelola hikkssss maafin mama angels.

BTW

2008-04-25T01:30:00.000-07:00

Hari ini Jum'at, 25 April 2008 hari bersejarah buat mama. Yap mama membuat sejarah (hayahhh sejarah buat diri sendiri ajah heheh) akhirnya berani menembus belantara kemacetan Jakarta dengan sepeda. Yup it stands for bike to work. Walopun beloman gabung ma klub bikers manapun, mama jalanin dulu deh. Hari ini hari pertama, niatnya setiap Jum'at. Nanti kalo dah ga pegel2 or butuh kaki palsu buat ngegenjot baru deh dilanjut misalnya jadi 2x seminggu.

Buat apa seh mama susyah2 genjot sepeda. Pondok Aren-Gatot Subroto tuhhh jauuuuhhh lohh!!! orang bilang gituh ke mama, dan itu emang bener banget! Mama bukan pengen ikut2an lagi tren btw tapi emang suka banget naek sepeda, feel so free (dan cape kali ya hahaha). Gini2 mama anggota green peace hehehe, masa ga melakukan sesuatu untuk mengurangi polusi at least yang bisa mama lakuin ya ini. Mama bukan pembuat kebijakan or something yg bakalan didengerin org se-Indonesia (boro2!! di rumah ajah angels kalo pada lagi bengal suka susyahh dibilangin hihihi). Trus mama pengen olahraga (dari dulu suka yg murah meriah n gerah) emang berat seh, tp yakin deh kalo ini pertamanya doank!!

Dan irit BBM sekarang kan harga minyak dunia melangit jadi US$ 120, imagine that??? dan Indonesia termasuk negera pengimpor minyak ( see what I mean, guys?) gila lo droo...disini minyak yg impor disubsidi (banyakan salah sasaran pula hikss), kasian deh!! Mungkin ga bakalan ngurangin jumlah impor minyak or apalah, mudah2an seh lebih banyak orang yg sadar n mau btw.

Banyak kan manfaatnya?! Sok atuh ikutan...demi bumi kita...demi anak2 kita...n pastinya buat kita juga ;)

Kisah Semalam...

2008-04-22T18:50:00.000-07:00

Sampai di rumah mama disambut ade Qorin yg abis ngambek gara2 digantiin celananya. Langsung deh minta nye nye. Nah mumpung masih bisa konsentrasi si ade langsung belajar baca flash cards (masih nye nye tuh). Ga lama mas Azka dateng (dari ngungsi di rumah budenya, sambil maen ma sepupunya), ternyata mba Nazmi n mba Aufa ikutan ke rumah (jadi deh rumah semarak n rame hehehe). Alamat Qorin ga langsung bobo, n terbukti tuh....Qorin langsung sigap bangkit dari nye nye n main sama Aufa (lebih tepatnya seh rebutan maenan n minuman kotak, untung bawanya pas 4 kotak tapi mereka malah berebutan calpico yg asem). Azka n Nazmi asik maen masak-masakan, padahal ketika ditanya yukk maen guru2an (mama yg jadi gurunya...ya iyallahhh hehehe) mereka ga setuju (ga asik kali ya..!). Jadi deh mama pembelinya mereka jualan oncom panggang (emang ada ya?! ;>) trus karena Qorin n Aufa mulai mengganggu permainan mereka mama putar posisi jadi pesaing dagangnya mereka, kita (mama n bayi2) jualan mie ayam. Dan itu berlangsung 15 menit selebihnya Azka n Nazmi main sendiri2, Nazmi tetep jadi penjual oncom panggang azka dah bosen n pindah profesi jadi masinis kereta api (finally they ended up...rebutan lokomotif!! hayahhh).

Setelah acara rebut2an selesai, Nazmi n Aufa minta pulang dah ngantuk katanya. Azka biasa deh ga rela gitu kalo temen maennya pada pulang (mewek-mewek) trus minta dibacain buku. To my surprise Azka minta buku yang beda tadi malam, dia minta dibacain kisah seorang nenek di "heart of winter" seorang penjual teh di pegunungan yang rela menolong anak serigala...akhirnya keluarga serigala dan sang nenek bersahabat. Trus mama nidurin Qorin n tentu ajah back to Azka (dia bobo siangnya lama, so bakalan long night neh hihihi).

Nabung...

2008-04-22T18:41:00.000-07:00

Pagi ini mama ketemu temen toastmaster (mas Adut) yang udah lama ga dateng meeting karena kesibukannya. Wahh jadi malu liat menu sarapannya...susu 2 (cair) botol buat temen makan oatmeal (sehat banget ya!!). Mama juga beli susu (bubuk) buat sarapan di kantor. Baru dimulai akhir2 ini, niatnya buat nabung kalsium (some say sampe umur 35 thn). Lumayan masih 5 tahun lagi.

About Kartini

2008-04-21T23:05:00.000-07:00

Actually I wanna write in Bahasa but to keep my consistency running (tuesday is english day) so here we go. Last night after story telling (guess what? Yup it's tania n geng lacak again hehehe), I told Azka a little bit about Ibu Kartini (as I promised yesterday). I told her that she was from Rembang Jawa Tengah and her dreams. I said to him that back then in Indonesia when she was young, there's no school for girls (I gave him an example if he and mba mami were at that time...only him who could go to school) then he asked me why that could be happen. My answer was that at that time girl forbidden to go school because girls must stay at home and help their parents. One of Kartini's dream was that girls could get education the same as boys (I did'nt mention emancipation, coz I had no idea how to explain it to him hehehe). And then I told him that she's our heroine, to my surprise he asked "what is the mark that she's heroine?" oops I just didn't know how to answer this then I recalled he must have been to know about a song for teachers "pahlawan tanpa tanda jasa". The epilog was...I sang the song :

Ibu Kita Kartini
Putri sejati, putri Indonesia harum namanya
Ibu Kita Kartini
pendekar bangsa, pendekar kaumnya untuk merdeka
Wahai Ibu kita Kartini, putri yang mulia
Sungguh besar cita-citanya bagi Indonesia

NP: after that Azka still stayed awake, and asked me another story....it was
The Alligator's Secret

Qorin Bites

2008-04-21T22:36:00.000-07:00

Lately Qorin has a bad habit. She likes to bite people especially Mas Azka, poor him. Everyday during these last three days Qorin has left scars over him.First it was in his forehead, ghossh it was really scary 'coz it was forehead bone living bruise in purple color, second in Azka's arm (well this relieving compare to the first one) and third in Azka's nose! I just found out the last bite last night...Azka didn't tell me what had happened. Mbah Warni the one who told me this. Yesterday (on Sunday) Azka said..."ade plz don't bite me again, I can do the same, do you think you're the only one who can bite! Oops I went panic, what if Azka really do that...(secara gigi dah gede n lebih banyak!). Qorin only has 8 teeth right now (each 4 for up n down), and she didn't 'ngeces' she did it on purpose. Every time they had an argument or fight over toys or books because Azka has more power (physically) than her, then she started to bite. And from previous experience of Qorin's tooth growing, her body temperature would lil bit high than usual and she would cry alot than usual. None of this happen, we afraid that this will be her continous behaviour to win over something such as toys.

I hope she can manage later on...she's only 15 month old

My TM Project...

2008-04-21T22:22:00.000-07:00

I know this blog should be for Azqor's world, but mama is also part of their world hehehe.
Talking about toastmaster...another 5 project left. It should be finished long ago even before Qorin was born. You know I just follow our Indonesian culture that is NEVER PUNCTUATE. Shame on you mum ;~.

I have already scheduled today for BM#6, but all of a sudden LTO's meeting was cancelled for unknown reason. I just recieved a msg through my friend. My goodness...it made my guts flow away.

I was inspired by one of Azka's book the title is Mimi The Selfish Kitten...I was ready although I haven't practice much. I just keep in mind about what I'm going to say...and it cancelled!!! Duhh
^~^
Take it wisely mum...you'll have more time to practice, people say "practice makes perfect"
yeahhh right ;>

LIfe is About Choices

2008-04-21T18:15:00.000-07:00

Yup...that's quite all right. At least on my own opinion and my experience. Some people say that they're left without any choice at all, but actually nope. The situation makes people say such thing like that. As for me...deep down I really do want to finish my second degree (taellaaa secara mulai ajah beloman hikks) abroad.

My situation confuse me, I never imagine I could live without my angels (sure my sunshine too). Although it only for 2 years (maximum). If I may choose between the two, I can't. I want both...
I want us to be there together...it is not impossible but rather difficult though. In my case the conclusion is that I don't want to choose...and it is my choice not choose so I made up my choice, right? confusing enough? hehehe

And I'm not a risk taker also...so many considerations besides I dun wanna be a part from my lovely ones :`(. Someday when all my chances disappear I dun want to blame anything and anyone. I wish I could blame it on the rain yee yee (hayahhh that's only for song gitu loh!) and blame it on the stars that don't shine at nights kikiki

I believe it is me who will take full responsibility over my future, now I'm drawing it ;)
I choose to...keep this as part of my pray, hope someday it will be clear enough so I can choose another choice. Mention about hope, I have just a perfect saying it goes like this:
"Hope will brighten your days, Faith will make everything possible, Love will make everything easy"

So just keep on hoping, dreaming, loving...and keep the faith!!!

Tania Peranti dan Geng Lacak

2008-04-20T19:23:00.000-07:00

Itu judul buku yang hampir sebulan ini dibaca Azka, setttiaaappp hariiii. Wah mama sampe really boring hehehe. Pagi sebelum ngantor minta dibacakan buku itu, malemnya mo bobo juga gitu. Tapi mo gimana lagi, dulu mama yang pengen banget kalo Azka suka membaca (dibacain cerita). Alhamdulillah minat Azka sama buku luar biasa. Dia akan anteng (duduk manis dan diam, tapi banyak bertanya hehehe) kalo dibacain cerita. Oh cerita sedikit ttg "tania peranti dan geng lacak" buku itu bercerita ttg cara kerja segala sesuatu. Ceritanya gini...

ada klub geng lacak namanya yang penasaran karena di pintu klubnya ada surat dengan tulisan "SANGAT RAHASIA" diamplopnya. Karena geng lacak selalu mencari tahu akhirnya dicari deh siapa yg menuliskan dan meninggalkan surat tsb di muka pintu. Geng lacak terdiri dari Ketty, Pamela dan Regie (setting di amrik), nah dalam proses pencarian itu di buku tersebut dijelaskan cara kerja dan fungsi benda2 mis. lampu lalu lintas, trus kenapa balon udara bisa melayang, bagaimana terowongan dibuat, di bawah jalan ada apa saja, dll...dengan cara menyingkapkan sirip di hal. masing2 buku tsb.) kalo diliat kesannya ga nyambung ya ama ceritanya...padahal nyambung loh. Di akhir cerita ketaoan deh kalo si anjingnya tania 'pakar rekacipta' si dogi yang meninggalkan surat di pintu klub.

Dari buku itu Azka tahu banyak hal2 (yg mama seumur dia ga ngeh n ngerti) seperti kalau di gedung tinggi pasti ada tangga dan pintu darurat, bagaimana pensil dan krayon dibuat, kenapa semangka banyak bijinya. Azka tahu warna2 lampu lalu lintas dan makna dari setiap warnanya mis merah berhenti. Canggih ya!

Kreatif banget tuh yg bikin bukunya.

Hari Ini Setahun Lalu...

2008-04-20T18:27:00.000-07:00

Hari ini setahun lalu...mama dan papa sibuk (kami izin datang ke kantor agak siang) untuk menyiapkan Azka berhari Kartini di sekolahnya (PG Mutiara Hati), waktu itu Azka memakai baju beskap lengkap dengan blangkon kecilnya (karena kehabisan baju adat jawa---jadi deh Azka dipakaikan baju adat sunda--no problemo). Di sekolah sudah disediakan panggung kecil untuk menampilkan anak2 dengan baju adatnya masing2. Oh iya Nazmi juga hadir dengan baju ala minangkabau (hanya itu yg ukurannya pas).

Hari itu sebenarnya Azka agak panas suhu badanya, tapi dia tetap mau sekolah. Sayang fotonya belum diupload disini. Di rumah difoto, di jalan menuju ke sekolah juga, di sekolah ya foto2 lagi hehehe (banci foto ya!). Soalnya ini hari pertama Azka merayakan sesuatu di sekolahnya. Jadi menurut kami momen spesial gitu loh.

Namun sayang, di sekolah Azka mogok beraksi hehehe dia ngga mau tampil di panggung. Cukup di foto (dari sekolah) dan duduk manis di deretan penonton, lain halnya dengan sepupu Nazmi yg cukup ghiroh naik ke panggung dengan gaya kenes maju dan mundur ...lucunya...Maklum kan Azka kurang sehat.

Hari ini dia melewatkan Hari Kartini di sekolahnya (karena masih mogok sekolah :(0 ) ya...it was a year a go...

Tapi mama janji di rumah pun nanti Azka akan tetap merayakan semangat Ibu kita Kartini hehehe lebih ke maknanya. Mama mau ngingetin Azka momen Ibu Kartini dan nilai-nilai yang diperjuangkannya...karena masih 3,5 tahun mungkin dikenalin dulu dengan cerita Ibu Kartini, lagu n sejarah Beliau...

Ayo donlot dulu Mom :))

"Selamat hari Kartini"

hati ini terasa berbunga-bunga
membuat seakan-akan ku melayang

adakah ada satu arti dibalik satu tatapan
kasih aku lupa arti sebuah senyuman

dia seperti apa yang selalu kunantikan kuinginkan
melihat aku apa adanya seakan ku sempurna

tanpa kata kau curi hati
terasa berbeda saat bersamanya
aku jatuh cinta

dia bukakan pintu hatiku yang lama tak bisa percayakan cinta
hingga dia disini, memberiku cinta....harapan
diaaa

la..la..la..

gini deh kalo norak...posting sambil mp3-an, ga konsen malah ngetik lagu yang dinyanyiin

Walking Free

2008-04-07T18:50:00.000-07:00

For almost a week finally Qorin walk around the house. She usually grab something to walking her by. But now she's actually can walk! what a surprise!

Of course we're happy to see this. We all sure that she could make it, but she always made people or things around her to help her walking. Now she can walk freely. People say it's little bit late...nope actually for us each and every children has his/her own way of development.

Now Qorin is 15 months, little bit faster though compare to Azka 16 months.
Congrats Qorin...mama & papa will continuing support you!
Keep on moving, Girl!

Responsibility

During these couple of weeks in our house, there's no one to do the household. We have Bule Warni to taking care of Qorin during my work day. She has to come home every weekend, since that...I and Mas Teguh do all the household stuffs together. Well sometimes he has to go to the office during the weekend, it is me left to do all the things. I'm not complaining though :).

Why..is that so?? Because I've got Azka my little big boy !! Yes, to my surprise...
He's trustworthy to take care of his sister. I didn't expect much since he's just a little boy. So I just told him to accompany Qorin during my business doing whatever necessary things such as cooking for them and doing the dishes n stuffs and I told himthat he's such a sholeh boy that would take care of others when mama had to do something. And he would tell her to calm down "cup cup de mama lagi sibuk" or he would give her another toy to play with. He even took her to the kitchen with him (holding hands) and they played together...what a nice view to see :).

I told papa that Azka has been a good brother. So he gave him a nice truck hehehe as a present for being a nice boy. Finally, something meaningful happened during our hard time (no maid) I think Azka has learn a lesson in this life...yes it's responsibility.

Days In a Week

2008-04-04T00:59:00.000-07:00

We have exactly the same 7 days a week each and everyone of us. I came up with the idea to manage the whole days of a week to learn anything effectively. That's definetely not a new thing. But it is for me...I know that each and every breath that we take should always be a precious moment. As we know in Islam we must respect life itself, we wouldn't know what time 4JJ will take our lives away.

I've been in the moment when I thought I was going to die. It was a small surgery actually but for me it was a huge thing that would happen to me. So..back to my management of time (try to hehe). Friday it's time to learn islamic knowledge (today I learn more bout Islamic culture), Saturday it's time to learn arabic language, Sunday it's time to play, Monday it's time to learn accounting n taxation, Tuesday it's time to learn about english language, Wednesday it's time for mother's stuff, Thursday it's for computer n stuffs.

So move on girl!

Pemerintah Akan Blokir Situs Porno pada April-MeiSurabaya (ANTARA News) - Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika (Menkominfo) Prof Ir Mohammad Nuh DEA menyatakan pemerintah akan memblokir situs porno mulai April dan diharapkan akan tuntas pada Mei mendatang."Pengguna internet di Indonesia memang masih kecil dengan kisaran 25 juta orang, tapi Mei mendatang akan meroket, karena kami akan memberi fasilitas khusus untuk SMA/MA se-Indonesia," katanya di Surabaya, Jumat.Usai menjadi khotib salat Jumat dan meresmikan laboratorium IT di Masjid Nasional Al-Akbar Surabaya (MAS), ia mengatakan, fasilitas khusus yang diberikan secara gratis kepada SMA/MA se-Indonesia akan mendorong lompatan pengguna internet."Lompatan itu diperkirakan mendorong pengguna internet di Indonesia menjadi sekitar 50 juta. Jumlah itu kecil atau sekitar 25 persen dari jumlah penduduk Indonesia, tapi jumlahnya sudah 20 kali lipat Singapura, apalagi Malaysia," katanya.Menurut mantan rektor ITS Surabaya itu, sosialisasi pemanfaatan internet melalui fasilitas khusus itu akan menimbulkan dampak negatif yakni penggunaan internet untuk mengakses situs-situs yang tidak bagus (negatif) atau porno."Untuk mengantisipasi dampak negatif itu, kami akan memblokir situs-situs porno dalam tiga level yakni masyarakat, software (piranti lunak), dan jaringan provider (bekerjasama dengan Internet Service Provider atau ISP)," katanya.Oleh karena itu, katanya, ketiga level diharapkan akan dapat dituntaskan pada April-Mei. "Di level masyarakat, kami berharap kesadaran masyarakat untuk memblokir sendiri dengan tidak membuka situs-situs negatif," katanya.Di tingkat software, katanya, Depkominfo akan menjalin kerjasama dengan instansi (departemen) dan sekolah untuk mengunduh (download) software dengan program blokir situs porno pada website Depkominfo RI."Kalau mereka mengunduh, maka mereka dapat memasang pada admin komputer di setiap instansi pemerintah dan sekolah untuk memblokir, sehingga dampak negatif dari internet di instansi dan sekolah dapat diminimalisir," katanya.Langkah blokir paling akhir, katanya, Depkominfo akan bekerjasama dengan provider (ISP) untuk memblokir situs yang merusak bangsa. "Semua tingkatan itu, kami harapkan akan dapat dilaksanakan pada April-Mei mendatang," katanya.

Fluber

2008-03-16T19:14:00.000-07:00

Guest what, I got my flu again (this is the third time during 2008). I dunno, I wonder why coz as I was younger (taela....) I never got so sick easily like this. I really bored to take the medicine, if it wasn't for my angels I have given up all those syrups (cough medicine). I haven't try any antibiotics coz doc say it should be used wisely otherwise it will make the bacteria resistent.

I have a presumption...since I took 'kb suntik' I've got all this flu n fever every month. Maybe it is because I haven't got my period. Really...healty is about everything these days :`(

Ketika harus ditinggal...

2008-03-10T18:36:00.000-07:00

Walaupun Azka biasa kami tinggal bekerja tapi kan masih ketemu sore/malam hari. Nah pas Qorin sakit terpaksa Azka cuma sama Papanya. Mama di RS menunggu ade Qorin. Alhamdulillah ternyata Azka bisa mandiri dan tiada rengekan. Kalo malam Azka seperti biasa minta dibacakan buku terus minum susu, pipis biar ga ngompol dan akhirnya sikat gigi. Sementara kalo ada mama pasti deh buku ceritanya nambah jadi 2 terus yah it takes little longer urusannya hehehe.

Menjelang bobo, Azka telpon dede nanya udah sehat belom (setiap malam loh--hiks jadi terharu :`)) walopun Qorin pasti udah terlelap (selama di rs Qorin bener-bener memanfaatkan waktunya deh hihihi). Mama kangen Azka setiap malam, sempet juga binun gimana ya dia bobonya (secara kalo mo bobo mesti ada tangan halus -- istilahnya Azka buat belai2 sayang tangan mamanya---hehehe tersanjung neh!) yah katanya seh pake tangan Papanya yang berbulu (akhirnya terbiasa tuh setelah 5 hari dan cepet jg bobonya :) ).

Qorin Sakit

2008-03-10T18:09:00.000-07:00

Minggu, 2 Maret 2008, ananda Qorin masuk RS Sari Asih. Setelah 4 hari demam, lesu (mama takut itu letargi deh), tidak mau makan dan minum untuk masih ASI ya nduk, trus disusul denyut jantungnya yang >50/menit (secara anak setahun itu normalnya 40/mnt) so itu tanda-tanda darurat (menurut buku balita sehat dr. wati). Setelah dites darah...hasilnya menunjukkan kalo lekositnya diatas normal 22.900 (seharusnya 4.000-10.000 oops sori satuannya lupa) dan terakhir masuk IGD malah 28.800. Gimana ga syereemmm. Ternyata diagnosa dokter ada infeksi ditubuhnya. Nah, ketika masuk IGD itu Qorin diperiksa kembali (pake stetoskop) katanya...nafasnya terganggu kemungkinan karena lendir (emang sih dia batuk tapi menurut mama masih batuk biasa ajah), untuk memastikan dokter minta dirontgen...hikkksss. Memang dirontgen ga sakit, tapi bocah cilik itu susah banget untuk diam. Jadi 2 kali take foto deh, karena yang pertama miring hasilnya jadi ga bisa dibaca.

Trus Qorin dipindahkan ke bangsal anak, setelah diinfus *untuk yg ini dia tabah loh, apa karena udah lemes ya* ternyata di sana sudah menunggu 2 balita juga Farrel n Raiskan dengan gejala penyakit yg sama demam tinggi dan batuk. Mama jadi lebih tenang...karena sebelumnya kan ga ngerti, abis info ttg penyakit Qorin ga jelas. Sampai-sampai mama minta tolong Om Hendra buat ngecek diinternet ttg kelebihan lekosit, wahhh si Om ga tega ngasih kabarnya. Soalnya info yg didapat malah ttg leukimia n penanganannya yang harus treatment terus sampai besar hikksss.

Alhamdulillah ternyata bukan itu. Hasil rontgen memang nunjukkin kalo diparu-paru Qorin ada bercak putih yang kemungkinan besar disebabkan dahak/lendir yang ga bisa dikeluarin sendiri, so itu menyebabkan infeksi (makanya lekositnya tinggi). Dokter Udjiani bilang treatmentnya bukan untuk menurunkan kadar lekositnya tapi lebih kepada menghilangkan infeksinya dan mengeluarkan dahak n lendir sehingga otomatis lekositnya turun dan suhu tubuh ga panas lagi.

Setelah hari kedua dirawat, Qorin udah ga panas lagi dan mulai di-nebulizer (diuap). Dan memang banyak keluar lendir loh dari hidung (ingus---maaf) dan muntah. Setelah itu secara bertahap nafas Qorin ga tersengal lagi. Pada hari keempat denyut jantungnya sudah normal, walaupun kata dr. lendirnya masih ada tapi sudah naik ke rongga yang lebih besar dan infeksinya sudah ga ada (panasnya sudah turun). Tes darah juga menunjukkan kadar lekositnya 8.800 normal. Berdasarkan itu dr. Udjiani bilang kalo Qorin boleh pulang, tetapi fisioterapi n uapnya tetep dilanjut.

Belum siap

Sudah hampir 4 bulan Azka mogok dari sekolahnya PG Mutiara Hati. Sebagai ortunya tentu aja ngerasa sedih, apalagi mengingat dulu Azka lumayan gampang bersekolah. Sempat merasa kalau ini merupakan kemunduran Azka. Trus nanti gimana, sementara sepupunya relatif rajin sekolah. Dia akan ketinggalan dong, dibandingkan teman dan sepupunya hiksss.

Dua minggu pertama aku dan papanya masih rajin membujuknya untuk tetap mau sekolah dengan segala iming-iming hadiah mainan dan uang :(. Ternyata Azka kebal dari segala cobaan itu. Dia bergeming tetap tidak mau sekolah. Akhirnya kami pasrah, walaupun tidak sesuai dengan keinginan kami. Salah satu prinsip kami dalam mendidik anak adalah tidak boleh ada pemaksaan kepada anak. Demi menjaga konsistensi akhirnya membiarkannya tidak bersekolah menjadi pilihan.

Trus, aku mulai rajin mencari info tentang homeschooling/unschooling sambil menanti dengan sabar bila tiba waktunya Azka semangat kembali ke sekolahnya. Info yang aku dapat di internet tentang HS lumayan banyak dan memberiku pencerahan bahwa ternyata ada alternatif lain untuk mendidik anak. Walaupun sampai saat ini aku belum membeli kurikulum manapun yang ditawarkan, selain bingung aku juga tidak mau menghamburkan uang jika ternyata kurikulum tersebut tidak pas buat Azka. Dari internet aku juga tahu bahwa ternyata anak laki-laki lebih tidak siap sekolah dibandingkan anak perempuan (secara psikologis). So kenapa maksa, mungkin Azka termasuk golongan anak yang belum siap. Dan itu wajar menurut usianya (kesiapan sekolah anak laki-laki dimulai ketika usianya menginjak 8-12 tahun), many years to go for Azka (he still 3 years only).

Akhirnya aku banyak download kegiatan untuk toddler mulai dari aktivitas kreatif sampai sain untuk toddler. Jadi walaupun hanya di rumah dia tetap beraktivitas untuk mengasah kesiapannya sekolah dengan cara yang menyenangkannya.

Nyoba...

2008-02-26T01:43:00.000-08:00

Hari ini mama nyoba bikin blog :)
lumayan nambah wawasan...walopun bukan hal yang sama sekali baru,
dulu pernah nyoba di friendster n ga pernah di-up date. Itu dulu banget zamannya Azka bahkan masih diperut mama.

Almost 4 th yl. begitu cepatnya waktu berlalu.
ga lama lagi mama bisa bilang...
dulu sedikit gaptek tuh bikinnya dan akhirnya ini hanya jadi kenangan

tapi sebelum menjadi kenangan mama janji akan terus up date n bikin posting baru
untuk mencatat perjalanan Azka dan Qorin, karena nanti akan jadi sejarah keluarga suharyanto
eng ing eng...semoga menjadi kenangan manis. Pasti!
