Father, a daughter & 3 sons.

Aidiladha 1433H

Taqabbalallahuminna waminkum.

Eid again!

Alhamdulillah, the 11 pariwisata have safely landed at LCCT on Thursday evening. Bandung is fun, seriously! I keep on bugging MrJ to come back to Bandung as soon as we can. It's a great escape from the hectic life, Subhanallah. 

Shopping wise, yes, the man/women/baby branded wear are much more cheaper than here. But most of them are Made In China. (Even if they claimed it's made in Paris) We even found the exact same match of what we bought in China last July @ Bandung. And of course, China is way cheaper. Super Duper Cheap. I'll blog about Bandung in the next entry insya-Allah.

From the 3 of us, Salam Aidiladha and safe journey to all!

To Imah, Happy Birthday!

Are you smarter than the 5th Grader?

Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:

Left Brain	Right Brain
46%	54%

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. (that's how I memorized my biology text book for SPM) You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. (yes, very true! and often left frustrated when people couldn't comprehend what I'm thinking) The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger(askar wataniah?), athlete(batu seremban), beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

I've taken this test and the result is predictable, I mean I know I'm slightly slanted to the right brain than the other. That explains why I'm still stuck in a highly technical unit and at the same time occupied with my part time job of make-up-ing VP's power point presentations and doing 5S decoration. (I'm a beautician, craftsman and artist) I'm not whining, just trying to swallow the reality.

You can take yours here. It's pretty accurate. At least to me.

“Wahai Nabi (Muhammad)! Kobarkanlah semangat para mukmin untuk berperang. Jika ada dua puluh yang sabar dia antara kamu, niscaya mereka dapat mengalahkan dua ratus orang musuh. Dan jika ada seratus orang (yang sabar) di antara kamu, niscaya mereka dapat mengalahkan seribu orang kafir, kerana orang-orang yang kafir itu adalah kaum yang tidak mengerti.” Al-Anfal:65

"Yang demikian itu karena sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah suatu nikmat yang telah diberikanNya kepada suatu kaum hingga kaum itu mengubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri. Sungguh Allah Maha Mendengar, Maha Mengetahui." Al-Anfal:53

Ujian Flash Card

Petang semalam Nadirah ada ujian Flash Card. Sambil duduk di atas belakang badan Abi, Mummy pun menayangkan kad-kad dari set Baby Einstein. (gambar-gambar daripada DVD Baby Wordworth - First Words Discovery Cards)

Kad-kad yang berjaya disebut oleh Nadirah (adapun sebutannya pelat tetapi hampir bunyinya dikira lulus) adalah seperti berikut:

1. Cat (sejak azali, haiwan kegemaran malar hijau Nadirah)

2. Dog (sejak azali selepas cat, pagi semalam menangis mahukan dog yang sedang woof woof di tepi jalan)
3. Ball (apa sahaja yang bulat dipanggil ball, termasuk watermelon)

4. Couch (ajaib, mummy tidak menyangka sama sekali anakanda hafal perkataan couch)
5. Table
6. Bed
7. Clock
8. Tree
9. Swing
10.Chair
12.Bowl
13. Telephone
14.Cup
15. Book
16. Bear (Teddy bear)

Lagi 10 kad, apabila Mummy sebut perkataan pada flash card, Nadirah akan tersenyum dan hanya memberi respon - "hmmmm". Abi yang menjadi "chair" Nadirah pula bertepuk sekuat hati jika Nadirah berjaya meneka dan menyebut perkataan yang tertera dengan betul. Our PomPomBoy.

Ok Nadirah, malam ni sambung lagi 10 kad ya sayang. You can do it!
