Ramadhan Kareem

All the praises and thanks be to The Almighty Allah, The Most Beneficent and The Most Merciful.

May Peace and Mercy be upon our Prophet Muhammad and His families, His members, ulama' and the rest all of us.

Ramadhan Kareem is a blessing month and the month we are required to do good deeds and of course to put ourselves closer to The Creator. I am grateful for the given opportunity to still alive in the greatest month, Ramadhan. Those who do goodness shall be rewarded great pahala because this is the best month equals to a thousand months doing good deeds. MasyaAllah!! Only You we should worship, there's no others except You the solely.

Today is the fourth day of Ramadhan. I am still who am I before. I'm seeking who I supposed to be for the best mankind, for the best slave of The Most Greatest. On the way for the purpose, I noticed that it's easy in words but difficult in actions. Today, as simple analogy sounds: "a great talker is a great liar". Those who speak louder must act harder symbolizing the sustain action will be together to gain the best result. As a Consequent, we will be the best pious mankind who afraid / obey Allah and The Prophet Muhammad. Allah willing!!

I don't have any intentions to put any judgments on someone because his / her wrongdoings along this blessing month. But what I noticed,we seems have no enthusiasm to collect pahala as much as possible. We make this special month as nothing special. I heard many ustaz / teachers taught us about one valid hadith means: "If we know the advantages of Ramadhan, surely we will ask to have Ramadhan all the time". Unfortunately, we just know nothing and we regard it as same as other months. Owh, definitely, we bear big LOST!! I hope that I'm not the one who among those people who always bear lost.

As the time envied, I end my story here and Allah wills I'll write again in the next series of Ramadhan Kareem.

Our Child Is Our Responsibility ( 2 )

I welcome all of you with the Islamic greeting.
Assalamualaikum w.b.t
May peace, mercy and blessing of the Almighty Allah be upon you.

All the praises and thanks be to Allah S.W.T for borrowing me this such invaluable breath ever.

As I storied for my previous post was all about the way we took to raise our little laling Nur Syifa. In the continuity from the previous one, there's something I would like to share with all of you. Actually,it was from her "ibu" when she read my first post; she asked why didn't I  include the first toy ever from laling. The toy was her favorite and she loved very much. Then I said it didn't come out in my mind at the time I was typing the last post. Fortunately, I once mentioned to have 2nd series of the post "Our Child Is Our Responsibility", so it wouldn't be a problem. I believe that there must have continuity posts followed from behind until laling reached younger. As the result, all the post would be her reference on how we as her parent took the best care of her. We want she know the fact! Ha3.

The first toy was made from rubber and I bought it at Aeon. It was her fist toy she played at all times. Moreover, she kept the toy as her food but due to size, it couldn't be eaten at all. I observe her progress and I know every bites she did,she was learning from that. The bites produced lots of saliva  and it came out from her mouth.ha3! Actually,a baby in her age was in the process of knowing shapes. Every touches and every bites she did connected to her mind through thousands neurons inside. So, I just observe and sometimes I gave her smiles so that she know she wasn't all alone. I still remember the time we visited my wife's friend at Wangsamaju. My wife's friend also had a baby girl and I think she was same age as laling. Laling denied her toy to be taken by others, she screamed loudly symbolises her disagreement if the toy change to other hands. That's her stand that nobody was allowed to take what hers. We just laughed seeing her action because we know that the toy was her favourite. Ultimately, nobody could get from her or she would cry. What do we prefer? Of course, we won't let her cry! In part of science, when every neurons connected each other from thousands of neurons in our brain we would be smarter and intelligent. That's why,people who is commonly in math practices, they are intelligent because every times they do exercises,their neurons connected.

The other accessories or facilities for laling were stroller and carrier. We bought on the reason to lighten our burden whenever we go out for sightseeing. I believe that having a premature baby was totally different with the normal one. This due to unused those facilities because laling felt no comfortable. For example, we went for outdoor shopping and of course we bring along stroller or sometimes carrier for our convenience but at the last she refused all those things.  She seems floated in the carrier or I could say she sank into the carrier's hole just because she was not as big as other babies who were in same age as her. Since the day, I realized that I have to treat laling so that she receives the superb special service. She was not as others. What I want those who has premature baby to know is that, you must know how to treat them as special one in term of services. Ultimately, all those things were stored properly with no function. But,I never regret because I know they would be useful one day. Ha3.. (newborn for the next years, at least would accompany Laling to play and to mess around with the messy plates, saucepans, spoons and many more. Owhh, how exhausted are we as her parent).

Her "ibu" demands to buy bicycle for laling. By having a bicycle would be easier for laling to go out for sightseeing at the garden. We commonly go around Putrajaya on the reason we had no choice. At first, I noticed that the bicycle was used happily wherever "ibu" or I shove the bicycle and laling was on the bicycle. It was great moments demonstrated a great loving family. But, from day to days, it seems unused due to our fault. I myself placed the bicycle upstairs and never bring down when we go out for sightseeing. Finally, this facility also stored well with also no function at all. But, sometimes I saw laling go closer to the duckling bicycle just to press the music buttons. She's totally affected with the music. That's why, my fist post I once mentioned about music or sounds as the tools to generate her IQ and EQ. She responded very well!! I'm attracted with her action and I believe her "ibu" also feel the same.

I just want laling to know that how deep our love over her. We as parent want the best from her. And we do pray she would be a pious daughter who obey Allah S.W.T, obey the Prophet Muhammad and obey us as her eternal parent. We also do hope so that she would benefit us in the world and hereafter. She is everything for the both of us!

Our Child Is Our Responsibility ( 1 )

Every marriage must end up with generation. Nobody deny for that because a child will make us a shine of protracted happiness. Of course, I'm the who wish to have a happy and loving family before I end up my live with death. For this series of my post,I would like to attract many attention on how we raise our children will determine how shape they will be for the next 20/30 years from now. Everything is in our own hands.

I believe that everyone has their own style of raising their biological child. They may have referred many experts from books,people or anything or anyone. Thay have done the best just only to see their heir is one of the best among the best. In easy word, theirs is intelligent and competitive!! That's why,a new couple who has granted a child from Allah is seen happy never ending. This is because,a child means everything that never been described by words. Only they feel but not others. The situation goes to me for the first time I entitled "Abah".

In addition, nobody is willing to bear risk from any dangers to harm their heirs. That's the fact! Recently,we heard or read from newspapers about a child was kidnapped and to be sold over the border of Thailand. It was terrible / horrible news that actually haunted many parents to take the best care of their children. I prayed to Allah to put all that disaster far away from me and the people around me. May Allah listened,Allah wills!

Ohh,before I bubbling around with no ending. And without further ado, the point of this post is all about how we're raising our little laling named Nur Syifa. She is the one who we love the most. As I storied for my first post,my daughter was born premature. She was born 7 months or 2 months less. I noticed that her mum has been taking the best care for all these while until how is she now. Her mum prepared various porridges just to make sure laling receive only the best service ever.

Laling experienced to have breastfeeding only several times but I didn't think she drink well. It was due to her condition with premature birth. I noticed with the small mouth,she couldn't be able to have the fresh milk as well. As I knew,she drink breast milk only by using tube. She was in incubator for two months in NICU at Putrajaya Hospital. With many wires injected inside her skin,how she could be able to be normal as other babies. Only two months she tastes the fresh milk from her "Ibu" and after that she has been drinking formulated milk until today. For the first 9th month, we used premature formulated milk "Similac Prem" and "Novalac". After about 5 months using that types of milk,we changed to Anmum formulated milk until today. From the first stage and now the third stage. She was comfortable with that type. So,we had no problem and keep buying the same type every month. As of I noticed,she's active and the one I like about her is her desire to explore. I can say,she is the new of the series "Dora the explorer". Ha3!! Everything she sees,the things are her experiment tools. Seriously,she likes to know everything or the curiosity is very high. I think it's good for a child in the process of growth. One more thing,she like to imitate what others did and I think it's normal for a child in same age with her. Meaning to says,the growth is nice to be seen.

In part of apparels, I pass to her "Ibu" to buy what clothes suit to her. I just acted as a banker who draw money then her "ibu" acted as shopper. Ok, if we're talking about pampers / napkins, I believe that every parents have their choice to make sure their child stay comfort with no skin irritation. I once bought "Drypers" but laling was not comfort and the skin irritation appeared with red spots on the skin inside. That type was not suitable at all. Then, her "ibu" started to search what types are the best, with the understanding of "try and error" and finally we decided that "Huggies" was the best brand for Syifa. This brand made from soft material inside so that it was not affect soft skin and again the materials used are long lasting in term of wet. It was different with other brands that easy and faster to get wet after used only several hours. Then,the brand has been our choice since laling was a baby until now. I do trust "Huggies" and I recommend everyone to buy this product because the best quality was there.

Why toys are suit for baby? Ha3, what is that question..a baby,she/he has no activities as an adult. Surely they need something to play around and of course to explore something new. Their world started with what they see and react from that. That's because, a baby eager to imitate what others did. They saw quietly then they copy before they interpret through actions. Great!! So let them explore and let them to be a real explorer at themself because it is the called learning process. I bought many toys but my preferences are colourful toys and they (toys) must be useful in generating IQ and EQ. You may refer what type of toys I have bought special to laling. For me toys included books with colourful and musical books to stimulate her action upon something. I bought several musical books with interesting music, she respond with the sounds. One of the best-referred is "Ding Dong Elmo's Here!" From Sesame Street. She laling responded with the sounds because the sounds demonstrated what the story all about. The other book also played same role. I saw laling's development I smiled widely means happy!

As laling's development seen clearly,we decided to buy book rack and bag. I just ask her to take books and bring them to me to read,she nodded and move to the book rack. The bag also included when I ask her to take bag and put some books inside together with a bottle of milk. She obeyed! I believe that,everything would be simple if it was beyond habits. Moreover,we as parents should instill the habit of reading. I myself bougt many books and I read together with her so that she sees the habit.

I know that environment plays very important role to stimulate IQ and EQ for a child. So,I decided to send  her to TASKA so that she will be a part of community in children's world. When her age reach 1 year 7 months,she will react with environment together with her friends. I believe that to achieve happiness in life requires two types of relations so called a relation to The Creator and a relation to people. So,the two types are trying to be installed inside her mind. Allah wills! In part of perform solah,I did in front of her so that se observes every times. The sustain observation would result great effect inside her soul. The spiritual concern is very important to her at this age. I beliave that we as parents want the best for our children in the world and aslo af course hereafter.

I end up my story all about my family here. The next series will follow behind. Actually I do have a lot of stories about laling but I don't know which part I missed! It's ok,next series will follow for the second post at the same title "Our Child Is Our Responsibility (1)"

Fish Hunter!

I love fishing, and I do love fishes. They made me smile every time I catch them. What made me desire to catch fishes are when they (fish) eat our bait. It is the wonderful moments because we can feel the excitement of becoming a true angler.

I live in Seri Kembangan,border with Puchong and Putrajaya. As of now, I choose Puchong Lake as the place to fishing. Moreover, it is close with my house. I just have to get through along LDP and after we passed a toll,turn left through Bukit Puchong Road. This is the way from Putrajaya. The lake is in that area.

Actually,I went to Puchong Lake many times before but I get no fish at the end. I noticed that the bait play very important role to fishing. For several times,I used warms and crickets as the baits but the result is nothing. No fishes have appetite to grab the baits. I changed plan for the next time when I decided to buy fish net. Meaning to say,I  don't have to use baits to catch fish instead of using a net. It is very easy way to get fish. Ultimately,I successfully get a quiet big "Tilapia". If you are around that location, you can try to fishing there. But, the possibly fish you will get is "talapia" because the species is the most inside.

About three months ago,I went to metropolitan lake at Kepong to fishing. It was so shocked when I got to tame 6 catfishes. They were big catfishes. I was satisfied. Some fishes were given to my sister and all of us had a dinner with the cook "masak lemak cili padi catfishes". Waw!!delicious...

I will have to spend many more times at Puchong Lake for the next time. It just to fulfill my desire,my passion about fish. But,one more thing you must not forget is to use fish net!

Floria Putrajaya 2014 (Visit Malaysia 2014)

I've been there recently with my family. It was held every year started last year 2013. What made the floria different with the previous year is fee. Now,they charge RM3.00 per entry for adult and RM1.00 for children. That's affordable for everyone and I think that should not be a problem for parents to bring their family to visit floria.

It is open from 10am to 10pm everyday from 14th of June until 22nd of June 2014. I believe that many take this opportunity to bring their family to be there to see the beauty of landscapes designed by many experts including schools,universities and many more.

For this year,it is held at presint 4,Putrajaya. The parkir is not as big as at presint 2. I noticed that there are many activities held at the floria side, one is landscapes and the rest are make-up boats with colourful lamps,cats exibition and some children's activities.

2014 is the year of VisitMalaysia 2014. This is a great chance to be a part in contributing our commitment to support Malaysia's effort and at the same time to generate nation's income. Actually,this event was recognised by our DYMM King of Malaysia. He the king agreed to put the Floria's name as "Floria Diraja" for the next series.

I would like to recommend for those who wish to go there; please do plan to be there at night. Of course,you can see the colourful of the floria. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to see firecrackers. It is wonderful moments spending your time with your loved one; of course your family.

Living around Putrajaya or I can say living in metropolitan centre Kuala Lumpur made us bored with limited activities. So, if there's some activities held by authorities. Surely,there must be crowded and congested with many vehicles. It is totally different living in our hometown.

There are some pictures while I was in Floria recently. For those who have no activity this weekend,you may will be going there in Putrajaya. Don't miss it!!
