Old memories

I just meet back my old friends and my old homemates while I am studying at UiTM Segamat in 1997-1999 (Diploma) & 2000-2002 (Degree) after about 10 years. The most excited was while I saw Ummi, June & JO at facebook. All have married with several kids. Miss all the old memories while we study, ate & sleep together. The laughing & tears along the journey was now flash back. And the fun was at one time we are so extreme watching/admiring the Hindustand movies…until JO & June can sang the Bollywood song very well..looking forward to meet and gather with all of u..

Berbuka Puasa with “anak-anak yatim”

On 20 August 2011, we have join a collaboration of break fasting event between MNKC & CCM with the “anak-anak yatim” in Rumah Kebajikan Ehsan Ash-Shakur (PEKEAS) at Bandar Tasek Puteri, Rawang. There was a heavy rain while we break fasting, however all the anak-anak yatim was look happy and the important is we share a bit of our rezeki with them. May allah bless them always.

A night before ‘Puasa’ I have clean the kitchen and Saidi decorate the ‘lampu klip-klip’ that we have just bought..we finished around 12pm..and as we’re then tired & hungry, we end up ‘Sahur’ at 1am…with Safwan & Adi. Safwan said that he want to do the fasting …to get the upah/gaji from Ayah..RM1/full day & 50cent/half day and he meant it..he did fasting half day for the fist week…and on the 7th day, Safwan managed to Puasa for the whole day, and still full for the following days,Good Boy.
Harap Ramadhan kali ini lebih bermakna dan memberi kekuatan kpd kami sekeluarga untuk melakukan lebih amal ibadah dan banyak bersabar.

Middle ear infection

Last Saturday we have bring Safwan to see Dr Aminuddin, ENT at Ampang Putri Hospital for follow up treatment.
Safwan has been diagnosed for Otitis media with effusion (OME). It started long time ago when he always has sticky fluid in his ear. Usually we only bring him to the clinic and doctor will gave an antibiotic. But we have decided to go to specialist as it still recurring. There will be a surgical operation on 19 July 2011, which the doctor will do the myringotomy i.e. putting a small tube in his ears.
Otitis media is inflammation of the middle ear. “Otitis” means inflammation of the ear, and “media” means middle. This inflammation often begins with infections that cause sore throats, colds or other respiratory problems, and spreads to the middle ear. These can be caused by viruses or bacteria, and can be acute or chronic.

The surgery called a myringotomy, is a tiny incision in the eardrum. Any fluid, usually thickened secretions will be removed. In most situations, a small plastic tube (a tympanostomy tube) is inserted into the eardrum to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time. These ventilating tubes remain in place for six months to several years. Eventually, they will move out of the eardrum (extrude) and fall into the ear canal. Your doctor may remove the tube during a routine office visit or it may simply fall out of the ear.

What are risks and complications of ear tubes?While ear tube surgery is common, minor complications can occur in up to half of the children who have them inserted. Complications include: Failure to resolve the ear infectionsm,Thickening of the eardrum over time, which affects hearing in a small percentage of patients, Thickening of the eardrum over time, which affects hearing in a small percentage of patients.
Persistent perforation after the tube falls out of the eardrum, Chronic ear drainage , Infection etc.

Prevention tips:•Avoid irritants such as cigarette smoke, which can interfere with Eustachian tube function.
•Identify and avoid any allergans that may lead to your child’s OME.
•Consider a smaller day care center, especially in the winter months. Day care centers that have six or fewer children result in fewer ear infections.
•Wash hands and toys often.
•Use air filters and get fresh air to help decrease exposure to airborne germs.
•Avoid overusing antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics breeds increasingly resistant bacteria.
•The pneumococcal vaccine can prevent infections from the most common cause of acute ear infection (which can lead to OME). The flu vaccine can also help.

Piano Class

We have hired a Piano teacher to Safwan for his home Piano lesson start 1 May 2011 every Sunday. The fees is RM100/month. Safwan have an interest in Art & Music and we believed in Music can generated creative brain for him.

What’s Learned Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observations. Playing games or moving to music is a powerful first experience in theartistic process. Children learn music the same way they learn language–by listening and imitating.

Finger play promotes language development, fine-motor skills, and coordination, as well as self-esteem. Young children are proud when they sing a song and can do the accompanying finger movements.
Listening to music also teaches important prereading skills. As youngsters use small drums or other percussion instruments (homemade or store-bought), they can play the rhythmic pattern of words. They can learn to hear the differences between fast and slow, loud and soft, one at a time and together, etc. When they try new instruments, they notice how each variation changes the music.
Creative movement expands a child’s imagination. It’s also a fun method of physical fitness–an important goal of child development.

Al-Fatihah for Arwah Halina Aziz @ 8June2011

My cousin Halina Aziz (Kak Lina) had passed away on 8 June 2011, 9am due to Stomach Cancer. She is a Teacher, 43 years old and unmarried. I and Along had rushing going back to our hometown that day. I saw how the arwah  di ‘kafan’,’sembahyang’ and ‘kebumi’. Also went and ‘doa’ to Arwah Mak, Abah & other relatives at the grave (Kg Terus Panchor, Muar). The imam had said “Dari tanah dia datang dan kepada tanah kami pulangkan, semua yang hidup akan mati”. Rasa sungguh sayu dan insaf.  

Semoga roh nya dicucuri Rahmat. Al Fatihah…

Landslide in Rumah Anak-anak Yatim, Hulu Langat @ 21May2011

Salam,

The landslide in Rumah Anak-anak Yatim dan Anak-anak alHidayah Madrasah Al-Taqwa”, in Kampung Gahal, Hulu Langat on 2.05pm 21 May 2011 (Saturday) has almost buried an orphanage. It has claimed 16 lives and two victims were forced to amputate their legs. One of the two survival victim who lost their leg is my former schoolmate (SM Sultan Alauddin Riayat Syah 1, Pagoh Muar, Johor). His name is Irwan Zakaria,33

Semoga Allah ampunkan dosa-dosa anak2 ini dan tempatkan mereka di roh-roh orang beriman. Doa juga untuk Irwan semoga cepat sembuh dan tabah menghadapi dugaan Allah ini. Allah hanya menguji umatnya yang tabah dan tahan dengan ujiannya. Amin

Peter&Jane 3a,3b (May2010)

Hai,

Last night I am quite suprise that Safwan can also read P&J 3a book. He became so happy when I said that ” Pandai abang, tu yang ibu makin sayang tu..esok kita pergi jalan-jalan ye”…

Then the day after he can easily read the 3b book. This is because the a & b book are interelated. Book “b” is using the same wording only changed the story. Safwan now also learning to read the “Muqaddam” with Ayah, even with tears, but I know he can do it and a clever boy . We plan to get together to “solat berjamaah” frequently. Now, only weekend we have time for maghrib together and teach safwan read “muqaddam”…I am happy to see Ayah teach Safwan to Qamat before solat.
