Re-Fresh: Kaklong

Hmmm...tak adil kalau si kecik je ada entry dan kenangan yg mama tulis..bukannye ape..nnt bila besar2..diorg dh boleh baca..mesti sedih2..sbb tak adil...So entry kali ini..tentang si Kakak...we called her Kak Long/Along.Setakat ni di iktiraf sbg Kak Longlah...Flash Backward citer Najlaa pula(ewah..mcm tajuk citer kat TV NZ pulak " Flash Forward")..Entry kali ini berkisar ttg puteri sulung kami..Najlaa Afiqah bt. Musli.

Born in 2005...So dah besar lah puteri sulung kami ni...Gambar kat atas masa umur 6 bulan..Cucu sulung untuk kedua-dua family...So bnyklah org nak layan bila balik kg..sbb dia je budak kecik time tu..

Ni gambar Raya tahun 2005. Dia nak bersolek sendiri lah tu...suka dgn bedak.

Ini (gambar atas) gambar raya tahun 2006. Dah boleh jalan dah masa tu..dah mcm anak dara kecil pergi beraya minta duit...

Tahun 2007, Najlaa dah jadi Kaklong...dia sgt sayang adiknya..walaupun kdg2 (skrg) ni suka bergaduh...biasalah sbb dua-dua org suka menyakat...mmg meriah rumah walaupun ada 2 budak ni..

Thn 2008, Fly ke NZ..macam satu tempat baru bagi kami semua...Second week kat bumi biri-biri ni Najlaa dah masuk ke Kindy. Walaupun English is not her spoken language at that time, she is very brave. She asked hubby to leave her at Kindy on the first day. I was very surprise...She is very brave young lady..

and...she love posing too... dia mmg suka bergambar dan sekarang ni dah pandai ambil gambar...She explores herself using the camera. She loves art very much and she loves math too...

Now Najlaa is 5 years old. She is very responsible sister (wpun kdg2 agak garang...:) )bangun2 tidur tny adik mana...Najmi pun sama...they are bonding to each other...dia juga suka bergaya sekarang...suka nak pakai tudung selendang like one of her aunties"??"...

She is brave standing on the stage in front of many people... Hopefully keberanian Najlaa tak terlebih2..hihi..

Abah dan Mama doakan Kaklong jadi anak yg solehah, anak yg taat perintah Allah dan perintah ibu bapa...Semoga Kak Long berjaya duni dan akhirat..Mama dan Abah love you very much.

Re-Fresh: Budak kecik

Tak tahu nak tulis ape kali ni..tp just nak refresh pasal budak kecik sorang ni...mula-mula sampai di NZ , umur budak kecik ni..baru mencecah 4 bulan...for my mum..it is too small nak naik flight...tapi kami sekeluarga redah juga sebagai jihad suami tersayang menuntut ilmu...masa tu tahun 2008...hmm..diam-tak diam dah thn 2010...begitu cepat masa berlalu dan begitu cepat bila dilihat melalui perkebangan anak-anak kita...So entry kali ini sbg refresh nostalgia memori kenangan  (tak tau nak letak word ape kat sini) dulu2..
Entry kali ini cerita tentang budak kecik...

Inilah gambar budak kecik yg dimaksudkan...Master Muhammad Najmi bin Musli...Masa ni baru nak mula meniarap dan hanya duduk atas car seat bila teman mama sidai baju...teman mama sidai baju kat luar sbb mama takut nak sidai sesorang..lagi takut nak tinggal dia sesorang kat dlm rumah kan...Najlaa at kindy during morning time.

Lepas tu..bila nak fetch kaklong balik kindy..teman mama nai kereta pulak..ni rupa budak kecik tu masa naik kereta...puting is compulsory stuff for him at that time..kalau tak de..ntahlah..

Gambar kat bawah ni pulak..masa budak kecik ni dah dpt kaki and stabil untuk berdiri dan melangkah..most of the time he will interested with the bike..ni bike ket umah one of Indonesian lady yg jemput Malaysian mkn2 kat umah dia..and now..compulsory stuff is hat....

Gambar hat Bob The Builder ni pulak bila budak kecik tu dah makin besar and dah jadi big boy lah pulak...makin kuat sakat kaklong and abah..mama dia tak nyakat sgt...maki kuat ngusik org...makin kuat makan..start dr pagi dia akan mkn...smpi nak tidurlah..dia mkn skit2..nak merasa semua benda...agaknya kenan mamanya suka nguyah masa preggy kat dia dulu..

Now..budak kecik tu bukan lagi budak kecik bantal peluk nak tidur..hihi...Sebabnya bulan 10 ni dah nak masuk kindy..Begitu cepat masa berlalu...Last week hubby and I tried to put his name in the waiting list...at the moment we filled up the form...mata dia bergenang..sedih..ingatkan mama dan abah nak tinggal dia kat school hari ni..he hugged mama and abah...and bila kami dh habis ckp dgn tecaher dia we all ajak dia balik..He go straight, but not straight to the door..but straight to the play area..hmm...I asked him" adik nak gi mana?".." "Adik nak gi situ"(while pointing to that play area- masa tu teacher tgh story kat play area).."Not yet lah adik...jom balik dulu" My husband said. "Oh.."..He replied..and patah balik...Ikut kami naik kereta balik rumah...

Nilah budak kecik ....dah jadi budak besar..and nak masuk kindy tu...

Semoga Najmi jadi anak yg soleh...Amin...
Ya Allah..kau iringilah perjalanan hidup kami sekeluarga....
Berkatilah Ilmu dan rezeki kami..
Hiasilah diri kami dgn Nur dan HidayahMU serta keindahan Islam..
Amin
