Calling Nanny 911!

I was searching for a channel to watch just now and found Nanny 911 at NTV 7. Oh my! I've read about how good this show is somewhere and somehow forgot about it. thank God I've accidently found that show on air. after finish watching it, i must say that the show is great. too bad i've missed the show in the past. i think i'll look for this in youtube later.

so, tonight the show was about George family. the Nanny was sent to this family in order to guide the mummy to be independent in taking care her 3 kids. i think the mummy is sooooo lucky to have husband like George who is willing to quit her job for taking care their kids. and the mummy goes to work. hmmm... ada jugak laki macam ni. but, that's not for the whole life la. dah agak dah:) now, it's mummy turn to quit the job and take care for the kids. that's why the Nanny came for rescue since the mummy is really lack of experience and ........ not to say bad mummy, but the father is much much more better. hehehe..

i've learnt a few things that i think can be applied too when dealing with Qistina. Here's i list some of them:

1. U may create a simple Family Rules for your kids!

2. Remember this entry? I've planned to craete a simple reward system when the times come for Qis and Irfan, and the Nanny had showed me the way! It looks fun and indirectly teach your kids on bad and good behaviour.

3. Avoid to umpan your kids with unhealthy food and drink (ice cream, donuts, chocholates, soda, etc..) when u want to keep them calm. memangla berkesan. but it's only for short term. there are a lot of better ways...

4. Don't ever let ur kids run the show. We as a parent must definitely in control. if not, nanti anak tak respect kat kita pulak kan.

i hope i will not miss the next show next week. i guess it will be on the same day and same time...Friday at 8.30 pm

Qistina's Little House....

recently Qistina suuukkkaaaa sangat main dengan blanket or apa2 kain yang panjang. if dia nampak je kain, sesape je (selalunya mama la kan, Irfan pun join sekaki) akan diajaknya masuk bawah kain tu. mama layankan jer:) this activity is like a routine already for us everynight. takpela sayang, as long as u r happy. Irfan pun bukan main suka mama tengok.

see their happy faces:)

sukanya Qistina. Irfan kenapa pulak tu. boring dah ker:)

actually last time, ayah ada belikan Qistina a small tent for her birthday's present. mula2 dulu excited la mama tgk. sampaikan nak tidur kat dalam tu. but since Qistina got a new 'tent' which she has created on her own ni, macam dah dianaktirikan jer tent tu:)

we called this 'Qistina Little House'. ok ok....background semak sikitla. abaikan yer:)

Oh Noooo!

that's Qistina's favourite words recently. cute betul.

sikit2 'Oh No!'
especially ada benda jatuh, mesti 'Oh No!'. siap dengan dua2 tangan tangan letak kat pipi.
can u imagine that. lawak betul anak mama nih.

aku rasa ni pengaruh tv nih. tak taula mickey mouse ke, elmo ke, little einstein ke. tu semua favourite tuh. kadang terbangun pukul 2 pagi pun... 'mama, watch cartoon'.
takpe2. pengaruh tv yang baik2 takpe. sebab tula pentingnya kita filter apa yang anak kita tgk kat tv. budak2 ni cepat tangkap and suka ikut apa yang diorang tgk.

macam tadi, aku ada tgk cite 'Ceplos' kat tv9. saje je tgk, dah takde cite lain nak tgk. korang pernah tak tgk cite nih. aku pun tak tau Ceplos tu apa. tapi cite tu cite hantula. Qis tgh dok main laptop time tu. sekali tiba2 dia join aku tgk. macam biasa, ada sajala benda dia nak tanya. dia nampak je Ceplos tu, terus tanya 'mama, tu apa tu?'
alamak, apa aku nak jawab. takkan nak cakap uncle kut.
aku pun tiba2, dapat idea 'that's a magic man'. hahaha. apa punya jawapan daa...
lepas tu cepat2 aku sambung, 'tak best cite ni, kita watch cartoon k'.

moral of the story, dah ada anak tu, layanla cite yang berpekdah sikit. ingatan untuk diri sendiri. hehe..

this is Qistina's bestfriend. suka sangat dia dengan Elmo, since baby lagi. lately, tak boleh berenggang. hari2 nak bawa gi nursery..

Merit and Demerit System

Last few weeks, I was assigned by my bos for a new project, which is to develop a reward system to our plant. mak ai.apa ke benda pulak la aku kena buat nih.time dia brief aku tu, aku pun as always, pretend to be cool and steady. professional la tu kunun. hehe. but deep inside me, only God knows. memang berat task nih untuk aku, sebab aku takde experience langsung pasal benda nih, totally zero. and aku jugak tak boleh benchmark mana2 plant pun kat company aku coz tak pernah dibuat orang pun kat situ.

why me? why aku yang kena buat. maybe sebab aku je satu-satunya engineer kat department aku tu kut. but is this engineer's job anyway?

okeyy...take it easy. let's take it as a challenge! think positive.

i've just completed my proposal today and i'm going to present it to my bos early next week. not sure whether she will buy off my idea, but nvm..at least i have tried my best.

the reward system is something like Merit and Demerit System. i believe u all have heard about this since it is common at school. but, hey! u know what, we can apply it at home to our kids too. it some kind of a discpiline methode too.

Basically, the system is designed to promote positive behavior to improve discipline (Merit) as well as to emphasizes consequences of misbehavior (Demerit).

I'm not going to talk much here, but u can find more infos here on how u can apply this method to your kids. I have tried a few of it and personally, i think the method is good untuk guide u how to deal with toddler......

Demam bola..

last week, i had a great conversation with my colleouge about our kids, just to share experience. since she already has 3 kids, so i would say dia lagi otai la. chit chat punya chit chat, i came to know that she's sending her kids to chinese school. wow! salute!

actually i've been thinking to send my kids to chinese kindy too, maybe when they reach 4. but to send them to chinese school,hmmmmm....kena pk banyak kali kut. coz i heard it's tough. and my friend also admit that. afraid that too much pressure pulak nanti. anyway, i still got loooooonggg time to think and ask around.

ehh..title demam bola, but then aku melalut pasal chinese school pulak. intro je tu, it just the starting point of a conversation between aku n cik abang which then lead to sth that related to bola thingy......

me : abang. tadi kan sayang cakap ngan kawan kat ofis. dia cite dia hantar anak2 dia g chinese school. macam best je

cik abang : ye ke. sekolah mana

me : dia ada cakap tadi. tapi lupa la. tapi kan, macam pressure je chinese school

cik abang : memangla. kita tak payah hantar chinese school pun takpe. hantar class mandarin je. bagus belajar mandarin nih. advantage for future (then cik abang pun bukala cite pasal economy growth semua kat china etc etc....)

me : tapi kita kena start awal la kan. rasanya umur 4 tahun ok kut. kita hantar chinese kindy dulu

cik abang : ok gak tu. eh..nanti bila Irfan 3 tahun, abang nak train dia jadik goalkeeper la

me : errkkk. goalkeeper

cik abang : haah. hari tu, sayang tgk kan. abang baling2 bola kat Irfan. cekap betul dia tangkap bola. tu baru kecik tu

me : ehhh..hehehe. ye la bang. as u wish

takpe jugak. anak lelaki kan. kenala main benda lasak2 sikit. cik abang tu nak turunkan ilmu la tu:)

wah! tgk cik abang tu. aksi hebat menangkap bola. ni zaman muda remaja dulu la

cheerleaders team. cik kak tudung pink tu penyokong paling kuat. hehe

A promise is a promise..

Qistina : mama, kakak nak main slide

Mama : ok sayang. weekend k.

Qistina : okeyyyyyy...

itula request qis hari2 lepas aku balik keja. kesian anak mama ni. masa tak mengizinkanla sayang. actually, playground kat bawah rumah je, tapi balik pun dah lambat kan.

so, weekend je la mama n ayah sempat bawa qis main2 kat playground tu. sambil test power camera baru. so, this entry will be fullllll of photos. enjoy the photos k. i love the camera. impressive!

We need books!!!

it's been a while i didn't buy any book, even for Qis. Remember this entry? this is the last book that i've bought, which is a cloth book for Irfan..

Irfan suka gigit ini buku.....

ehhh.wait. i just bought PaMa Jun edition. is that counted:)

every weekends, always occupied, until we didn't manage to pay a visit to any bookstore. this coming weekends pulak, kena attend banyak kenduri kawen. hmmm... beli online je la kut..

as our Qis and Irfan growing up, our job as a parent gets tougher and tougher, and i think we really need a parenting book. i know i can find a lot of information on parenting in internet, but i always prefer to refer in a book. senang sikit, takde masa nak surf internet (tapi ada masa pulak tulis blog,facebooking, online shopping...hehehe)

this book is one of my top wishlist.

Here's the book review....

Some parents make it look so easy.

They are eternally calm, have great relationships with their kids, and seem to have parenting down to a fine art. But is this really possible? How do they do it? Have you ever wondered what makes them so good?

These parents do many things right but have one thing in common. They know The Rules of Parenting. The set of golden behaviours that help you to help your kids look after themselves, enjoy life, be caring and kind, and help you to enjoy the whole experience too.

The Rules of Parenting is the reassuring support that thousands have been searching for. You don’t have to be a perfect parent, and you don’t have to have perfect children; this book will tell you why.

Templar’s simple rules will reveal the small things that you can do to make a big difference; the behaviours, the motivations, the ways of thinking that will help you through both the early and later years of

parenting. None of them guarantee success, but they all increase your chances of bringing up happy, healthy children. And they will all show you how to remain sane, keep your sense of humour and be a great parent; after all, it’s an important job to get right.

The Rules of Parenting puts everything in perspective and you in control. A simple set of principles and behaviours that will guide you smoothly through the challenge of being a parent.

There are 100 rules in this book. fuhhhh....banyak tu

branded toys.....

bagus sangat ke...hmmm.... as from my experience, the quality is thumbs up! tapi...yes ada tapinya... qis not so interested to play with all those. sekejap je main, then dah boring dah. she's more interested playing with stuffs yang dah sedia ada kat rumah. jimat duit mama and ayah.hehehe...but mama still dok perabis duit jugak membeli...just can't resist. lagila bila terjebak dengan online shopping nih....

the thing is, rumah pun dah macam tongkang pecah. weekend je mama sempat kemas rumah... Irfan pulak, is counting time je to join Qis.
memang maintain slim la mama macam ni...hehe...

ok, back to the toys thing, the first branded toys that mama and ayah bought for Qis is....




the Fisher Price Singing Star Gym... this gym grow with your child from infancy to toodlerhood, so it's a worth buy. qis also seems to enjoy playing with it.... tapi dah besar ni, dia dah tak main dah. irfan pulak, mama bought other gym....hmm.. ada harapan nak kena let go nih...




this Playskool Step Start Walk 'N Ride mama bought to helps Qis to stand and walk. not bad la. but attention please! don't ever leave your baby with this alone... coz agak licin la tyre dia...

this Fisher Price - Tappy the Turtle is really cute. when kid tap on those shapes with the mallet, his head pops out of his shell with a boing! then just push in the head to start again. cute kan...mama dia pulak yang over..hehe

this Cookie Shape Surprise pun cute jugak... saje beli, tinggal kat kampung. so whenever kitorang balik kampung, bolehla dia main....

adala a few lagi... masuk toys storage. actually, tak banyak pun yang branded n expensive nih. nafsu je semua tuh. kopak mak. yang murah2 takde brand lagi banyak. biasala, save budget. hehehe...since dah ada Irfan, kenala kuarkan balik. ....
