bad news

Just received bad news from a friend. she had miscarriage. i dont know how to comfort her, because of course i couldnt say that i understand her situation.

but dear..

i can only pray for your fast and easy recovery. remember, Allah always gives what's best for us.

innalillah..

wordless wednesday..

interprem..

wah..kan best kalau publish paper mcm publish entry kat blog je... hehe!

luahan hati...

dah 4:19am.

adoi badan sakit sbb lama sgt terjelepuk atas kerusi ni. tengkuk sakit dok terkehel2 menelaah paper2 yg tak habis2. mata sakit berpinar2 tengok laptop buat report. otak toksah cakap la.. severely damaged.

tapi this week harus lebih determined, sbb lepas assignment ni siap, 7 lagi bakal menanti. ajo gilo sem ni pegi pulun ambik 6 subject. ramai dh pesan awal2.. kata 'too much', ko gigih jugak.ha rasakan penangannya.

neway, sebenarnya nak luahkan psl satu subject ni. subject elektif. dh ada experience ngn lecturer ni sem lepas. mmg sempoi ah dia. sbb tu aku gagahkan jugak amik subject tu, wpun kelas dia ahad petang. masa utk lunjur2 kaki... relax kat umah...

tapi dia turn out to be sgt kejam. ade ke patut, bg sampai 10 assignment. 2 of them ialah utk dipublish, as in in journal format. satu review, satu lg experimental. ajo gilo. dh la experiment tu last half of sem baru start, as in ada 6 session je. satu session sejam je, sbb dia bhg ikut group. on top of that, lab session tu bukan dia yg attend/ajar, tp tutor dia. i hv a feeling yg diorang 2 org ni mcm tak communicate well. lecturer kata nk report itu ini, tutor kata xyah report, buat assessment kat lab je. yg tutor dia ni, bila tanya advance sket, dia kata.. this is too advance for you. haish! jwb je la. ko x tengok ke requirement lab report lecturer tu? advance tak advance. tahap geram ni.

aku rasa... lecturer ni saje nak torture budak. supaya kitorang takkan recommend this subject to juniors. so that, dia x perlu ajar dh next sem. rule in UM,for elective course, kalau tak cukup 10org, course takkan dioffer for that sem. aku rase ye la... dia malas nk ajar. kejam tau. tak psl2 kitorg jd mangsa.

perghhh terasa otak terburden lebih dgn elective course. bukan ke patut core subjects yg lebih tough? grrrr!

menyesal pun tarak guna. layan kan aje...

moh habiskan slide preparation utk this saturday.. pastu tidoq...erkkkk kalau sempat la... huhu!

bye!

my heart melts.. just by looking at this picture.

picture does speak thousands words.

it's gonna end soon..

soon ibu will have more time for you, alya..

hopefully.

5 Tips for Staying Sane During a Toddler Tantrum

It's a familiar scenario for many moms: You're pushing a full cart through the grocery store when suddenly your toddler starts screaming. Now what? As Circle of Moms Rita L. wonders, “How can I be patient when my child throws himself on the floor?”

To help you keep your cool — and your sanity — during a toddler meltdown, here are five smart strategies from Circle of Moms members.

1. Stay Calm

As tempted as you might be to raise your voice, yelling will likely only aggravate your toddler's tantrum. “It’s important to stay calm and collected,” explains Jeanie T. “Whenever parents scream or yell, it is monkey see, monkey do and the kids get worse. If you stay calm and use a time-out and a gentle [approach] (sit down holding the child in your lap for a time out together) you’ll stay calmer and your kids will be more emotionally balanced.”

2. Don’t Worry About What Others Think

As Katrina B. realized, there's no sense in worrying about what public observers think. “I was crying myself at the cash register when my three-year-old had a tantrum because I got so many looks from people in the store that day because of her screaming,” she recalls. “I realized that I was letting her win by getting so upset and in the future [I shouldn't care] so much.” Suzanne S. strongly agrees: “Don't worry about what other people think, stand tall in your choice on how to deal with them,” she says. “Anyone with kids would relate and people who don't won't understand.”

3. Just Leave

Another tantrum survival strategy many moms employ to keep from coming unraveled is to simply leave the store. When Kim L.'s son has public tantrums she removes him from the store until he calms down: “I bend down pick him up and walk outside. We talk about it and if I can't control it we go home.” Helen W. agrees: "Why do [other customers and employees of the store] have to listen to your screaming child out of control? I have three kids and when they had tantrums I just left and took them home.”

4. Create Distractions

The distraction is a more covert ways to keep your calm while trying to turn the screaming off, moms say. “Instead of getting irritated one should try and distract his attention and get him to focus on something else,” says Misha S.

5. Ignore It

Another key trick to keeping your wits during a toddler meltdown is to remember who has the power. You can stay in charge, insists Rachael B., by pretending it isn’t happening: “Just ignore him and if he sees that you aren’t going to pay him attention when he acts like that he will stop."

Kristi W. had a similar experience with her daughter: “My two-year-old went through the tantrum phase but when she realized that I wasn't giving in or giving her attention she stopped. Even if you are telling them to stop that is giving them attention. What I did was walk away and don’t give in."

GOOD LUCK moms!

hanya pada-Mu...

...aku memohon.
...aku berserah.

Ya Allah, berikan aku kekuatan dan ketenangan.

TGIF?

it has been almost 7mths since i left working life behind and back to being a student, full-time. no regrets in the decision i made. student life makes me, ME. (get it?).

but this week i'm a little bit lost. am dealing with loads of assignments, as always. but this one particular assignment,which i need to present next week, is killing me. it's very time consuming and all the research works i did lead me nowhere but to an open space. its like a wide open sky, with clouds here and there. LINK! i need the links between those clouds, so that i can finally start drafting some ppt slides.

the only thing i miss about working life is how excited i was on fridays.

p/s: already pushed the journals aside. wanna enjoy the rest of the day.. and maybe the weekend too. *like*

happy to the max..

simplest thing can make me happy.

remember last post?

petang td alya's condition got worse.. demam pulak. so, kitorg bwk alya g klinik. suprisingly, doctor advised supaya bg alya makan aiskrim. what? kami x penah bg alya makan aiskrim sebelum ni.

terpinga2 kami keluar dr consultation room.. still digesting..

lepas tu, kami pegi dinner. late dinner. alya still tak nak mkn porridge dia or our food. at last, kitorang surrender, and decided utk try ikut cdgn doctor.

mula2 alya refuses to try. tapi lepas tgk ayahnye makan x berenti, dia pun try. guess what, dgn lahapnya, dia habiskan satu cup tu sekelip mata. al maklumla.. dr smalam tak makan. lepas habis satu cup tu, trus dia mintak nasi. kami pun apa lg... bagai mengantuk disorong bantal... separuh pinggan jugak la dia makan.

phewww lega.. aku sgt happy sampai mengalir air mata..

Alhamdulillah..Thank God, for granting my wish.

p/s: ada standby 1cup dlm fridge.. might be useful for lunch tomorrow ;p

p/s: anyone planning on going to proton's powerof1 @ bkt jalil?

minggu yg menguji kesabaran..

alya ada ulcer mulut... 2 belah kiri, 1 belah kanan.. doktor kata kat lelangit pun ada. poor alya. patut la smalam dia langsung xnak makan. minum susu pun sikit je. air liur meleleh aje, mayb sbb sakit nk telan. cakap pun sgt kurang, sakit nk gerakkan mulut. disebabkan dia x makan... so no energy. lembik & x bermaya. kena dukung aje. merengek aje.

ibu pulak sakit gigi. denyutnya hanya Tuhan yg tahu. igt nk pi dentist, tp terbantut sbb alya needs me 24/7. so for the time being, kena bear with the pain.. kalau x thn sgt, painkiller la jwbnye. really helpful bila stay up utk siapkan assignments. ah, assignments lg... penat mengatur schedule utk manage masa2 free yg berbaki.

husband is the healthiest so far. wpun ada sikit pain dekat mulut, tp still can consider healthy. alhamdulillah, dia byk membantu. especially bila ibu in bad mood trying to calm alya down & menahan sakit gigi at the same time.

yes, ia minggu menguji kesabaran.. and i hope, byk dosa kami Tuhan hapuskan dgn ujian ini. amin...

p/s: ingat sihat sebelum sakit..
