my doodly notes

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.. Alhamdulillah..terlalu banyak nikmat yang ingin kusyukuri. Malah untuk mengucapkan Alhamdulillah itu sahaja satu nikmat yang besar. Di sebalik keletihan membawa badan yang semakin memberat :), di situ mengiringi senyuman seorang insan kecil yang terlalu kudambakan. Di sebalik kucar kacir isu anti hadis di tanah air, di situ ada percikan semangat untuk lebih banyak membaca dan belajar ilmu agama. Di sebalik kedinginan yang amat musim sejuk yang tersisa, semakin terang sinar suria dan semakin mekar indah daffodil di mana- mana. Sinaran matahari umpama merupakan 'blessing' buat bumi UK, setelah hampir 3 bulan yang agak kusam suasananya. Malam menjejak jam 22:18. Si kecil dan si besar sudah tersadai bersama mimpi masing- masing. Tinggallah aku; coba merencana hari esok, lusa, dan seterusnya..dan setiap kali sehingga beberapa tahun akan datang. Cuma perencanaanku hanya sebuah draf yang tidak bertulis. Tak mampu lagi untuk menulisnya, kerana aku mas...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Yes, when we go to a library or bookshop, we can spend more than 1 hour to search for a book of our interest. Can it be just a single book that can change its contents according to its reader? Hehe... I mean, it is like a magic book. You just buy it, and whenever your emotion or thought changes, the book that you read changes to according to you. As well as songs. When I was a teenager, I love to search for songs that portray my feeling of emotion at any specific moment. Listened to it, I feel satisfied, and the next day i will going to search for another songs. or when if I am bored with the old song. Alhamdulillah, now I'm bound to read just a same book, everyday. Anytime. And the contents that I read do speaks to me in any situation that I am facing. The words are precise, it contains advices, it is not meant to sway your moods, and the most important, it is from THE ONE who really knows you, before you were born. (Not like those singer...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. I know my English is too broken to be used in this story, but perhaps, because of my limited vocabularies, I can keep the message simple but still understandable. It's been 17 months I left my job on an unpaid leave, to accompany my husband in the UK for his study. This is the period for me as a housewife. Some may say, what's in a housewives' life? They don't go out much, not socializing everyday like those women at work, are they just wake up, prepare food, and go to sleep anytime they feel tired (with their babies)? Haha. Yes, for me it's true if one say that some housewife don't talk a lot about shoes and handbags because they do not have much freedom of money. However, I found my life as a housewife is richer than I am anything else before:) Alhamdulillah. The most precious thing that I found now, is the Quran. Obviously, how well I manage my time at home lies in the barakah of reading Al Quran as the first thing in the m...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.. Here are some material that i used with her. Some was created by me, but there are lots of ideas taken from the internet.. If you surf the internet and know what you are looking for, you'll gonna be satisfied with what you found :) matching numbers. Muna likes this..she did it again and again. While doing this with your toddlers, keep on saying the numbers..they will recognise it in a short time.(source: totschooling.com) tracing numbers. My lil one don)t do this yet :) guessing the shadows of the farm animals tracing the dots(mamahomeschool.blogspot) last but not least, the iqra board. Alhamdulillah, this one i made myself with 3 sets of arabic alphabet. I 'laminated' it using sticky tape;), so that i i can write the symbols (fathah, kasrah, and dhommah) and teach her the sounds. I put 3 small pictures that i draw, to show how the sounds are produced. 8 :) Then she watched CBeebies. Maybe next time i can write about...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.. A week feels too short. Next week my sweet lil daughter will turn 2, insyaAllah.. so i need to enjoy every moment that will be missed one day, for sure! So here are some activities we spent together :) At Burgess Public Library. The on the way back home, it rained and i forgot to bring the stroller cover :).. Alhamdulillah, still got a solution on the go. Cut and paste. Find the pictures from ads magazine, she recognized some pics and letters, i cut it and she pasted it herself. ...on a paper plate. This is unplanned, and i took anything within my sight :). Everyday is cold..and windy now. But we took any chance of better weather for fresh air. That's all for now.. May Allah bless us with righteous children InsyaAllah. :)

Assalamualaikum and good day.. My homeschooling project has started months ago. Even though not everyday was filled with new activities, but my brain keep on scheming for the next, and next, and next activities.. So homeschooling is a tough job, I see. Obviously it isn't just teach your children, but teach yourself too to become more creative, and the most important, discipline, as to make sure you are consistent to get things successful. Being parents is easier now, in this IT era. Everything is just on your fingertips. You don't have to think hard or smart, because there are lots of ideas came from other parents on almost every aspect of their children. All you have to know is read, and press the keywords to search in Google. But you can always come up with new ideas, and it is good to create something new, not just helping the other parents, but to get Allah's reward too ;). To blog it is not to show off, of course, but it is an effective journal to track the progres...
