Swimming At Home

Today is a free day. Pisha wanted to go to Saujana Utama Club for swimming but unfortunately the pool is open for member only. Last time we always bring Pisha to the swimming pool there but now they are not open for public. Pisha very frustrated. However she never give up her attention she ask my husband to make a pool at home.

Krit also enjoy even though don't know how to swim lol! I think this is a best way to save money as long as kids are happy.

Gruop photo infront of Desa Water Park - PDK Permata

On the Christmas day I bring Krit to Desa Water Park for PDK family day. This is for Wilayah Persekutuan PDK only. Krit take part in telematch game as well. Lucky draw more than 100 present but we are not lucky at all lol! Entrance ticket is consider cheap it's only RM20 for adult. I'm not really sure how much for child. I think it's about RM14. Anyway I and Krit is free only my husband need to pay for the ticket. We are not manage to swim on that day because is't late already. We finsh at 3.30pm and I need to rush back to observe my maid.

Pisha Admitted to Hospital

Pisha at PMC

Last Sunday Pisha admitted to Hospital Putra Medical Centre ( PMC ) due to high fever. She is shivering during that time until her finger nail turn to blue colour. I'm very scared. Doctor at the clinic advice us to bring her to the hospital for further check up. We decided to bring Pisha to the nearest hospital which is PMC. Doctor admitted her to the hospital because want to monitor on her condition.

Menu for dinner

Set of water and one pack of Milo + biscuit

Pisha was recovered from fever on the next day. She was discharged from the hospital at about 2pm. It's consider 2 days one night stayed. The service at PMC is very good included the food LOL!

Krit are back

Actually I'm at office now and having a training. What happen is my training is finished and my trainer allowed us to stay in the training room until 5pm. That is a good thing for me to update my blog. Recently I'm very busy and have no time to update my blog. I just went back to Kedah on last Friday and come back here on Saturday night. Very tired! But I'm happy because Krit is with me and now he's at home. I just get a temporary maid. Today is his second day with maid. As we know maid is a maid and we need to tell her everything if it's not she will not do work. I'm quite lucky because my daughter is on school holiday so she can help me to observe my maid. So Pisha is my spy.

Long holiday

Krit will be enjoy his one month holiday. I will need to inform his teacher regarding this. Now he is at Kedah so far away from me. I have got a job and started working now. I couldn't find a baby sitter or child care centre for him. It's make me very sad. Anyway I have applied a maid but still in process. Today is the 3rd day krit at hometown. I'm miss him very very much. Once my maid is arrive Krit can come back home. I hope that Krit is doing well now.

Baju Kurung For Pisha

At fitting room

Pisha excited want to wear baju kurung. Last week we went to my friend house for Hari Raya open house. During that time she don't have baju kurung but because of I wear baju kurung so she wanted to wear too. I have no choice need to buy for her one. Before go to open house we drop by at Jusco IOI. Look for Pisha baju kurung.... finally can found one that suitable to her. But the price is quite expensive RM 49.90. Luckily I still have my JJ voucher so I only spend RM 9.90. Lol!!

Is he pretend or sleeping

Funny thing about Krit is his sleeping style. I love this picture very much. He is so cute. I was busy at the kitchen during that time and I gave him a piano play but for a while when I came out from kitchen I saw he is sleeping. Does he sleep or pretend? Lol!!! Reality is he is sleeping. So cuteee...

Monkey See Monkey Do

Be careful with what you are saying to your kids. Because the statement monkey see monkey do is really true! I can see this from my daughter. She has a bad temper and she will shouted back to me if she is angry. If I said don't shout to parent it's no manner... she will replied : you can shout to me why I can't? Sometime I feel frustrated with her words. But when I think back I realised she is still young and she need more guidance from parent.

I think it's a normal for children to feel anger. Because anger is a feeling we all have. Parents need to play a big role to children. This is to help children learn how to manage their anger and how to channel it into positive action. "When a child says something hurtful, let her know how you feel and give her another way to say it". This is really work!

Back to normal

School will be open tomorrow but Pisha still waiting to go to her bed. She is waiting me so I can't update my blog much. Last night she also don't allowed me to do my work. Look like I need to accompany her to bed first or may be I need to sleep also lol!

Sweet memory at Phuket

Krit you are so cute....

Pisha wanted to build sand castle.... but her dream has not come true... because we have short of time. We only spend time at the beach on our last day at Phuket. Pity Pisha... she keep on telling me that her sand castle is not completed.

At Phuket airport. Pisha.. you are really big girl now.. can help mummy to take care your brother!

James Bond Island. This is a famous place at Phang Nga Bay

Wat Chalong

Phang Nga Bay

Pisha at Thanthip Villa before we went to Phang Nga Bay Trip.

Tomorrow is a Selangor Public Holiday

Pisha is very happy because tomorrow is a holiday. She keep on saying that she can sleep late because tomorrow the school will be close. I said fine but she still need to wake up early tomorrow because I'll bring Krit to school. She will need to follow me too.

My girl already big now..

At One Utama

First time Pisha went to Stadium Bukit Jalil.

2009 Pisha will be going to school and we already registered her at Sekolah Kebangsaan. We wanted to send her to Chinese school but she don't want so we need to agreed with her decision. Coming December month we need to prepare her school bag, shoes, sock, uniform and a lot more things to shop. She was in kindergarten for 3 years already and this year is her graduation.

Feel like at home

Wonderful colour and nice arrangement. Ikea is my husband favourite place. Even though he did not plan to buy things from there but he must enter the place if we go to The Curve. I wanted to take picture long time ago but every time we go there I can't do that because there are many people. This picture taken during weekend because not many people and because of heavy rain also lol!

I like this picture very much very neat and simple. If I show this picture to my friend they might think this is my house lol!

Pisha love this picture because of the red horse.

i'm lovin' it ... only at McDonald's

Yummy!!!!! i'm lovin' it

Pisha spent time at play room while waiting for the rain to stop. We are stuck in the rain... but she is happy because can played longer time.

Pisha excited to take picture with Mr. McDonald's lol!

First day at school after one week break

Last night Pisha slept at 11.00 pm but today morning she can woke up early at 7.30 am. May be she excited to go to school to meet her friend after one week holiday. As usual today she got homework but she already done it. So surprise! Usually she will do it at night. Hopefully she can remain it this way.

Loving each others

Loving face....

I'm happy when look at this picture...both of the are very cute. This troli very useful when we go shopping. If Pisha feel tired she will climb up and sit on the troli. One thing not good is we can't use escalator and must find out for lif only. Anyway is better than carry them!

School holiday will be over soon

First time on monorail

During one week school holiday there are not many cars on the road. I bring Krit to MAB because his school is open as usual. Of course Pisha will follow me and today is the last day for her to follow me to Krit school. I did not bring her to anywhere for this time. Since last month she wanted to go to Bukit Bintang but my husband did not bring her there because of the parking problem. She wanted to know where and how Bukit Bintang look like. So today while waiting for Krit at school I bring her to Bukit Bintang. We use public transport which monorail. Tun Sambanthan station is only opposite MAB so very near we just cross over the road. This is a first time for Pisha on the monorail. We walk around at Bukit Bintang for one hour only because Krit finish school at 12.30.

Pisha replying email. Her original hair very nice

I allowed Pisha to use an email to communicate with her auntie. Now she know how send and reply email. Her inbox only have 2 person name which is her auntie. I wanted her to explore more on Internet access. So during school holiday when ever I on my laptop I'll allowed her to use Internet access. For me this is a god start for her to learn more about computer and Internet access.

Kung Fu Style

Krit learn how to climb and now he really can climb. Look at his style like Kung Fu Panda. LOL! Nowadays I can't leave him alone if not he'll climb up and sit on the coffee table. I'm very scare he'll fall down from the table. I must wait until he sleep only I can on my laptop. Usually I have not much time on day time. Now he is sleeping so I can update my blog and check my email.

Can Do It

Finally Krit can hold his own bottle..

It take a few weeks to trained Krit to hold his own milk bottle. At the beginning he didn't want to hold it but I force him to hold it especially when he is hungry. He will find the bottle and pull it to his mouth. I feel happy even though it's take a longer time.

Kids Corner

Toycity at Mid Valley

MegaKidz at Mid Valley

The decoration of the Toycity and MegaKidz is very nice. Yesterday I bring Krit and Pisha to Mid Valley. Pisha very excited because we seldom bring her there. I think is about 1 year we never bring her there. Most of the time at One Utama or The Curve.

Thanks God!

Yesterday Krit fell down but I don't know how is happened. I was not at the place because busy cooking. I was told my daughter to take care of him or just oversee him. But I think she concentrate watching TV. When I wanted to feed him for dinner only I see got blood near to his eye. Thanks god! Nothing happen to his eye. Bleeding and swollen around his eye. I was shock and scolded my daughter. However I can't blame her also because she just 6 years old. Next time I must put him in the baby chair if I cook or do housework.

swollen until today

Kindergarten Fees Increase

Today Pisha bring back her contact book from school. I thought it's for school holiday.. because every time school holiday teachers will informed parents through this contact book. Parents need to sign as agreed and pass back to teachers. When I open the book I saw Pisha monthly fees is increase by RM10 effective this coming August. This is due to inflation. Inflation can bring up the fees? Anyway we need to agree on that. Every body use inflation reason to increase the price.

New shoes

Krit new shoes in blue colour. Very cute!

Upload image failed

Today my husband bought a new shoes for Krit and mathematics book for Pisha. I tried to upload the photo but failed. I think blogger server down. My laptop also very slow tonight..Internet also slow. May be this time is a peak time. Actually this time is a best time for me to update my blog or reading my friend blog. My kids are sleeping.

Stimulating Tips

When is best time to stimulate your baby? I feel that stimulating activities will be good to do it in the morning especially when your baby in the good mood. A good time also is after a restful nap, when your baby is alert. Usually after feeding or breakfast is a best time for Krit. His stimulating is more to visual and sensory motor.

Do not stimulating your baby when: he is hungry, fretful or sleepy.

The important things for stimulation is to make the activities fun, and always praise and encourage your baby when he responds to stimulation.

Music therapy good for special kids

Today I did not buy newspaper but I never miss to read The Star online. I would like to share below topic in The Star Metro. It's very useful to parents with special child. Actually there are photos in The Star but I did not copy it here.

Music therapy good for special kids
Story and photos by CHARLES FERNANDEZ

MUSIC therapy is used in many areas, from helping patients with Alzheimer’s disease to children with developmental problems to those suffering from chronic illness.
However, music therapy does not cure but it is a process that helps patients cope and deal with their illnesses.
Caregivers who counsel this group of people on stress management teaches them to deal with their emotion using music if they are prone to anxiety attacks or anger.

Patience and persistence are vital in working with children with developmental disability and basic adaptive behavioural skills is a method to evaluate a child according to his/her suitability in a performing a particular task or routine exercise.
These were the key messages that were presented to parents of children with disabilities and caregivers by Datin Seri Siti Nooriah Ana Razak, the wife of the Federal Territories Minister, during a seminar on increasing awareness for autistic children held at the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka in Kuala Lumpur recently.

The seminar was organised by the FT People’s Progressive Party and the FT Women Sports, Welfare and Health Association.
Siti Nooriah, who is chairman of the Yayasan Amal Wangsa, said parents with special children should not regard them as a burden but to take it as a test of patience and persistence in bringing up their children as useful members of society.
“If given the right guidance and care, they can be just as useful as any other child. It all depends on the willpower of the parents to lead them along the right path,” she said.
She added that it was important for parents to get the services of counsellors to help them cope with the daily emotional distress if they were not able to handle their autistic child.

Dr Alvin Ng Lai Onn, a psychologist from the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, UKM, who was one of the three speakers at the seminar, said adaptive behaviour skills was used to assess and diagnose an individual according to their behaviour.
“In special children, behavioural patterns changes from time to time and it is parents and caregivers who have to help mould them according to the individual’s behaviour,” added Lai.
The other speakers were Shoba Ramanathan, a music therapist and Dr Hasnah Toran, special educationist.

Ball Stimulation

Look at the ball

I choose this ball to stimulate Krit. This is to help him to be more focus on the object and for his sensory motor. The ball is soft so every time I pass the ball to him I'll tell him "This is a ball. The ball is round ans soft." I use very simple word for him to understand. According to speech therapy always use a simple words and short sentences.

He is listen to my voice when I asked him to take the ball

Finally!! He can catched the ball

Krit Playing with the ball

Habit

My corner

Look at Krit hand. What happen to his hand? Ermmm.... many people always ask me why I'm covered his hand? It's because of his HABIT. He likes to bite his fingers. Sometimes if he angry he will bite his fingers also. His teeth very sharp so to prevent from injure I has covered his hand with handkerchief or napkin.

One of his activities is standing in front of TV. I'm not sure how much he can see but he likes to watch TV and listen to the sound.

I don't care! This is my favourite place to sit!

Jumping is become his habit also. He will feel happy if he can jump. Many time I tried to stop him from jumping but can't. If I leave him alone he will jump and bite his fingers and also fingernails. I'm still thinking the way how to stop him from his bad habit. Any one have an ideas? Do feel free to share with me.

Krit Fever

From baby until now..... his medical record is here..

Krit fever every month started month of May until July. I bring him to see doctor every month until the nurse there can recognize him already. The moment we entered into the clinic the nurse will call his name. Doctor Lai known Krit very well too. Since baby until now if he is sick or fever we will bring him to see Doctor Lai at the Klinik Pakar Kanak-Kanak at Bandar Sri Damansara.

Yesterday he vomited and have high fever. The fever medicine still have from previous month so... I just give him the medicine and monitor his temperature. However he don't have appetite to eat it make me very worried because it's causes him to vomit. I'm very very tired yesterday. I'm waiting my husband come back from work and decided to bring him to see doctor.

As usual he need to take antibiotic again. Today he is better than yesterday but still have fever.
