alhamdulillaah..sudah beberapa kali Hajar dan Adam bangun bersama semasa sahur, ikut ke masjid berbuka puasa, dan berteraweeh.
Hajar dan Adam juga perasan yang ibu dan abah tidak makan dan minum sepanjang hari. Hajar akan nampak 'terkejut' bila nampak ibu minum masa berbuka.
Maryam terkena sedikit tempias puasa. Pada umur 2 bulan, beratnya kurang sedikit berbanding abang dan kakak pada usia itu. Alhamdulillaah, walaupun kurang rezekinya tetap ada.
Alhamdulillaah, ramadhan Hajar dan Adam tidak sinonim dengan makan banyak, sedap dan mewah. Ramadhan mereka lebih sinonim kepada trips to masaajid, bacaan Qur'an, dan kurma.
SubhanAllaah, bagi semua perbezaan di setiap tempat.
Alhamdulillaah, bagi segala peluang di setiap saat.

alhamdulillaah semalam sempat singgah ke dua masjid di sini, satu kat Hawthorne dan satu lagi kat San Gabriel Valley. MashaAllaah ramai dan meriah umat Islam meraikan Ramadhan. Hajar dan Adam seronok dapat main di playground dan jumpa other kids. Plus, dapat toys from a generous person yang donated toys untuk kanak-kanak yang ikut parents berterawih. Jazakumullaahu khayr.
Harapnya Hajar, Adam dan Maryam dapat menghayati dan seronok dengar Quran recitation during the teraweeh too! The 3 of them sat quietly thru the entire teraweeh. MashaAllaah.

"puasa!!," tapi tetap makan juga, minum susu juga :)
itulah Hajar dan Adam. ALhamdulillaah mereka seronok dengan pengalaman Ramadhan kali ini, biarpun belum pernah terjaga sewaktu ibu dan abah bersahur. Sudah dua kali Hajar dan Adam ikut ke masjid, merasai kemeriahan beribadah di malam hari. Biar mereka belajar dan tahu bahawa Ramadhan bulan istimewa, biar mereka juga jadi penanti yang setia dan hamba yang menggunakan Ramadhan sepenuhnya.
"Ramadhan bulan orang Islam berpuasa..." sabar abah menerangkan kepada Hajar bila Hajar dengan muka penuh ingin tahu bertanya "Ramadhan?" bila abah menyebutnya. Hajar senyum saja, faham?kurang pasti.

"...and there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah"
bismillaah
alhamdulillaah, semalam kami berkesempatan ke Islamic Center of Irvine. Dari maghrib sehingga habis terawih, yang diimamkan oleh Shaykh Mishary al-Afasy!! MashaAllaah.
Hajar, Adam, Maryam dan Ibu kena duduk dalam side rooms, prayer hall yang dikhaskan untuk sisters with small children. Alhamdulillaah, the room was very nice and comfortable, not a dingy, cold room..ehe. The sound system was loud and clear, allowing us to follow the recitation clearly despite the sound of excited kids playing and talking.
Hajar did not join the kids group. She just watched the other kids playing and their moms praying, while standing up still and quietly. As for Adam, he also stayed quite, but not still...ehe he quitely joined the play group, grabbed a coloring book and a crayon, and sat beside Ibu coloring the book. Alhamdulillaah the sister and her son who owns the book and crayon happily let Adam played with the book and crayon.
1 juz of qur'an, 20+3 rakaats of teraweeh and witr prayer. Alhamdulillaah!

Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and judgment ... al-Qur'an 2:185
surely Hajar, Adam, and Maryam do not understand what Ramadhan means yet. However, they have heard the words 'Ramadhan' and 'puasa,' inshaAllaah that should be good enough at this point. InshaAllaah they will hear lots of Quran recitation both at home and during the teraweeh prayer at the masajid we will be visiting throughout the month. Last night, abah attended the teraweeh prayer at Masjid Omar near USC, but we didnt joined abah since kids are not allowed in the masjid during prayer. Alhamdulillaah, not all masaajid have the same policy. Islamic center of Southern California on Vermont even offers free childcare between maghrib until after teraweeh, mashaAllaah. A famous Quran reciter, Sh. Mishary is the visiting imam at Islamic center of Irvine, and inshaAllaah tonight we will be heading there :)

Alhamdulillaah, Maryam is in her 3++ weeks, still adjusting to her 'schedule,' so do Ibu :)..have to follow Maryam's.
Hajar loves playing pretend, singing, and observing! She silently memorizes the zikr that ibu often recites when soothing Maryam, and Hajar will recite the zikr to Maryam whenever Maryam cries.
Adam is at the peak of his curiosity and exploring stage. He loves climbing up to the highest place he could, grabbing anything and experimenting with the items. These past few days, he poured a bottle of chocolate syrup on the flour, a jar of water in the kitchen, and a can of iced tea mix on the carpet. Uhuhu....mashaAllaah its very interesting to watch the kids learn and grow.
abah is busy with his projectS..Alhamdulillaah...coaching, fundraising for alFruqan(well, securing slots during ramadhan for a rep from alFurqan at as many masaajid as possible around the LA county actually), meeting with people, helping some of them, etc etc...sometimes, ibu & the kiddos joined abah during his trips to the nearby areas, but most of the time we just stay at home :)

Alhamdulillaah, it has been 2 weeks since we welcomed Maryam to the family. A friend asked for her birth story, so here it is inshaAllaah.
The birth story is very short because Allaah have made the entire process easy, Alhamdulillaah.
Ibu did not remember when the contraction started since the first ones were very light and just like the regular contractions around the late stages of pregnancy. However, after Zuhr ibu noticed the contractions became regular, but they were like once in every hour. Ibu just ignored them since the EDD was still a week away.
After Asr, the contractions became stronger and closer. Ibu did not tell abah right away nor started to time the contractions, but packing things around the house instead ;). Around 600pm, ibu was pretty sure that labor was just around the corner, told abah about it, and searched the web for infor about 'when to go to the hospital' (ngeh :) ) to make sure it was the right time to go to the hospital (didn't want to wait for long in the hospital..lol). Around 7pm, we got the kids ready and off we hit the road (Alhamdulillaah, earlier that day abah's friend lent his car to us. Muslims friends in LA are very great, mashaAllaah)
Alhamdulillaah, it was saturday and the traffic through the downtown LA was smooth. At 730pm we arrived at the hospital. We went to the 8th floor-maternity section, and registered at 737pm. ibu got into the check-up room and was already at 8cm, Alhamdulillaah. Ibu( and the nurse and the doc) were quite surprised myself, and thankful to Allaah of course! Just minutes earlier ibu were still walking from the parking lot and pushing Adam's stroller into the hospital. The nurse quickly transfered ibu to the labor room. Preparation was done quickly, the doctor broke ibu's water, they hooked me up to the monitor, put an IV(hurt so bad), and at 820pm Maryam came into the world, Alhamdulillaah.
During labor, abah, hajar, and Adam had to wait in the waiting room since kids were not allowed into the labor room. ALhamdulillaah they didnt have to wait for long for 'adik' :). After the nurse cleansed Maryam and clean up the room, my LOs were called into the now-clean-and-neat labor room to meet the new member of the family. Abah,hajar, and adam hang around until around 1030-1100pm before they left..only ibu & maryam stayed :(
Ibu & Maryam were in the hospital for two days(for normal VD) ALhamdulillaah everything was great and everyone was happy and healthy.

Alhamdulillaah, Hajar and Adam are sleeping soundly right now after another whole day of learning and exploring the world around them. Abah is not around for about 1 week because abah is travelling to Chicago and Michigan doing some of the things he loves. Hajar will say, 'Abah pegi kereje' whenever ibu asked her where is abah.
Today they got to go outside and played with an old stroller and bubbles at the backyard. They loved watching airplanes passing by on the sky. LAX is just 45 minutes away, and we could see/hear flights passing by up above quite clearly. Alhamdulillaah a'la kulli haal, LA's airway is very busy with commercial airplanes, and added with lots of helicopters and private jets. They make lots of noise too, but the kids were so excited with the sounds.

Alhamdulillaah, Hajar and Adam went to Islamic Institute of Orange County!!! where Sheikh Muhammad ibn Faqih serves as the imaam. Abah went to the lecture, Hajar and Adam went to the nursery =)
MashaAllaah, the masjid is very beautiful, but the community is even more beautiful. Lots of people, friendly faces, and we've met a few Malaysians( we've met in an alMaghrib class and several Malaysian events before)
Hajar and Adam were very happy to meet many friends of their ages. They've made friends and got into the playing groups pretty fast, mashaAllaah. Ibu was quite impressed at the progress since at first, ibu was worrying they couldnt make friends easily due to staying at home exclusively =).
Alhamdulillaah, the decision to brave through Los Angeles' super busy freeways on a Friday night really well worth it.
Oh, and these are pictures from our trip to Islamic Center of SoCal, near downtown LA last week.(no pics from the IIOC trip yet)

Ahad lepas, kami pergi ke big Sunday di SC Islamic Center. Hajar dan Adam seronok dapat jalan-jalan keluar, berjumpa kawan, dapat main di play ground, dan join solat jemaah =). Ada ramai orang yang datang untuk menyokong aktiviti Islamic center dengan membeli barangan dan makanan di booths yang ada. Buku-buku di bookstore pun ada diskaun 20%. Alhamdulillaah. Tapi, matahari terik dan cuaca agak panas berbanding biasa.
Alhamdulillaah, sekarang Hajar dalam proses potty training =), Adam belum reti lagi tapi kekadang dia pun nak tiru kakak.
Los Angeles sudah mula terasa bahang musim panas....

2 weeks without abah with us, Hajar would ask 'mana abah?' everyday. I am sure Adam was wondering the same thing, too but didnt know how to ask :).
MashaAllaah, It was very cute to see them 'talked' with abah on the phone. They were holding the phone correctly while sharing their stories with abah. Adam would do his baby talks, and we were trying hard to figure out what he was saying. They would pass the phone to ibu once they were done and tired of talking :)
Ibu took them for walks a few times, and during the sunny days, but when Ibu didnt feel like walking away from home, we just spent few minutes outside. Hajar and Adam love running around, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air, and picking up small, wild flowers!
Alhamdulillaah, 2 weeks went by very quickly. Abah has completed his jaulah murabbi for this round. InshaAllaah more to come, and hopefully Hajar and Adam will learn to appreciate this experience.

Alhamdulillaah a'la kulli haal, hajar n adam kena cucuk vaksin lagi. Nak buat selected vaccination tak habis study lagi pros dan cons nya. jadi, ikut arahan state of california saja. sekarang hajar dan adam bawah cdhp, child development & health program(klu x silap). Dua-duanya 'very loud', bak kata para nurses dan doctors.
Lepas dari klinik, bawa Hajar dan Adam jalan-jalan di luar sikit untuk hilangkan 'sedih' kena cucuk.
Alhamdulillaah, tak demam dan moga Allaah berikan kesihatan dan kekuatan rohani dan fizikal kepada Hajar dan Adam, dan semua umat Islam..Ameen.

Alhamdulillaah, dah dua minggu ni(hari Ahad) Hajar dan Adam dapat join Sunday School(Nursery) di Islamic Center of Southern California kat Vermont Avenue & 4th street. Minggu first tu naik zipcar, tp yg baru-baru ni kitorang try naik metro, bas panjang dan besar, kadang-kadang nampak macam lrt train.
Hajar dan Adam tentunya seronok dapat jalan-jalan, jumpa kawan, dan dapat main di playground. Hajar dapat main tricycle dan Adam seronok main papan(plastik?) gelongsor. MashaAllaah, cuaca di LA pun cerah.
Alhamdulillaah, yang paling penting, Hajar dan Adam dapat menyaksikan sendiri kemeriahan komuniti Muslim berkumpul bersama, dan belajar bahawa masjid tu sebagai pusat komuniti melakukan pelbagai macam aktiviti, bukan terhad kepada solat jemaah sahaja.
MashaAllaah, komuniti Muslim di sini sedang berusaha untuk membeli bangunan bersebelahan Islamic center yang akan dilelong. Asalnya bangunan tu pusat pameran Chevrolet, tapi sekarang dah ditutup. Jadi, sekiranya berjaya membeli bangunan tersebut, Islamic center akan dikembangkan lagi inshaAllaah. Banyak perancangan yang diorang buat, May Allaah facilitate it, Allaahumma ameen.

Alhamdulillaah, Hajar dan Adam ke muktamar, jumpa banyak kawan, antaranya rumaisa dan muhsin. Tapi Hajar dan Adam aak kekok untuk bergaul dengan ramai orang yang asing.A'la kulli haal, Hajar dan Adam gembira dapat travelling bersama ibu dan abah untuk menghadiri majlis ilmu nun di Houston, Texas.
Hari ini, Hajar dan Adam pergi ke klinik lagi untuk mendengar keputusan pemeriksaan darah dan x-ray Adam tempoh hari. Hampir tiga jam menunggu di klinik, tapi doktor tak bercakap banyak mengenai keputusan tersebut disebabkan keputusan x-ray dari hospital belum dihantar lagi. Doktor cuma cakap diorang 'terpaksa' offer treatment, tapi kami boleh tolak sebab Adam dah dapat BCG di Malaysia.
Balik dari klinik, Hajar tercari-cari 'pakcik' yang datang singgah ke L.A dalam tour mereka keliling negeri2 sebelah west ini selepas menghadiri muktamar. Ada satu rombongan dari Minnesota dan mereka singgah selama 2 hari di sini.Jazakumullaahu khaeer kerana sudi menjadi tetamu kami. Hajar dan Adam dalam segan-segan mendekati pakcik-pakcik. Hari ini, mereka bertolak ke San Diego, dan pastinya Hajar tercari-cari "pakcik yan dah 'ilan'".

Hampir tiga jam menunggu di klinik, tapi doktor tak bercakap banyak mengenai keputusan tersebut disebabkan keputusan x-ray dari hospital belum dihantar lagi. Doktor cuma cakap diorang 'terpaksa' offer treatment, tapi kami boleh tolak sebab Adam dah dapat BCG di Malaysia.
Balik dari klinik, Hajar tercari-cari 'pakcik' yang datang singgah ke L.A dalam tour mereka keliling negeri2 sebelah west ini selepas menghadiri muktamar. Ada satu rombongan dari Minnesota dan mereka singgah selama 2 hari di sini.Jazakumullaahu khaeer kerana sudi menjadi tetamu kami. Hajar dan Adam dalam segan-segan mendekati pakcik-pakcik. Hari ini, mereka bertolak ke San Diego, dan pastinya Hajar tercari-cari "pakcik yan dah 'ilan'".

Alhamdulillaah, last week ibu has finished with the exams and we went to the hospital to get Adam's blood test and chest x-ray done. Adam got positive TB skin test earlier(which is normal for Asian/Malaysian babies since they've got BCG after birth), some people in the hospital told abah that Adam should not get the skin test because it will for sure be positive. The peds should just refer us to the x-ray instead. Btw, we've refused the test on Hajar, so she didnt have to go through the routine..only Adam(poor Adam). MashaAllah, that day was a rainy day, and the street was a very busy,big one way street with limited parking. The ones that were available had broken meter. so Hajar and ibu just sat and waited in the car for abah and Adam. It was a very long wait. Abah was tired, but abah told ibu that Adam was very happy playing around with things around him in the hospital, but Adam got a bandage on his arm where his blood was drawn into a 'big' vial.
As soon as Adam got into his seat, he grabbed a cookie and his blankie(tuala busuk), and soon fell asleep. Apparently he was very tired too.
After that, we went to masjid Umar and Hajar was very eager pointing at the Masjid and telling everyone that it was 'tempat se-ma-yang'. MashaAllah, Hajar was very happy to get into the masjid.
As a reward for everybody =), we went to Toko Rame, an Indonesian restaurant, afterwards. This Toko Rame is very special because not only it serves only HALAL foods(no wines whatsoever), it only takes cash!(no credit card = no riba'). The owner is also a practicing muslim, wears proper hijab etc. At one time during ramadhan, we even saw the waiter reciting Qur'an while waiting for customers. Earlier, we've googled for a Malaysian restaurant in the area which also serves Halal foods. Fortunately, Abah took the time to browse through their menus and found variety of wines and alcohol offered at the very end of the list. So, we've decided to go to Toko Rame, simple and mashaAllaah, offers variety of delicious Indonesian cuisines.
Both Hajar and Adam went to sleep earlier tonight. They might got tired of playing all day round, in and out the warm,cozy bedroom and the cold,freezing kitchen. They had just finished siblings fight before going to bed =). Adam 'accidentally' dropped the sipper cup on kakak's face and hit and hurt Hajar's lips. Both babies cried and eventually went to sleep.
InshaAllaah, we are planning to join the Muktamar in Texas and will start the journey on the day after tomorrow. Please make dua that Allaah make it easy on us with safe journey and return.

Semalam Hajar dan Adam ke 'klinik kesihatan' untuk imunisasi seterusnya. Alhamdulillaah masing-masing dapat satu cucuk dan Adam tidak anemic.
Hajar dah cam bilik suntikan tu sebab masuk je bilik tu, Hajar start kata 'takmau' dan 'sakit'. Kena bersungguh-sungguh pujuk dan pegang dia. Tapi, teknologi jarum suntikan untuk kanak-kanak dah makin canggih, nurse tu cucuk tapi Ibu macam tak nampak pun jarumnya. Memang pantas, bukan macam kebiasaannya kita nampak jarum yang tajam dan panjang tu cucuk ke muscle dan fluid dipicit keluar. Ambil masa beberapa saat. Tapi, semalam dalam sesaat dua jer, mashaAllaah.
Adam lambat sikit nak kenal bilik suntikan tu. Bila seluar kena londeh, baru dia start menangis. Tapi, sebaik jer nurse habis cucuk, Adam okay balik. Cumanya, by that time, Adam dah mula mengantuk.

it's this time of the year...los angeles menjadi sejuk
Alhamdulillaah a'la kulli haal, rasa sangat sejuk hari ini. Hajar dan Adam kena selesema. Beberapa hari ni agak payah untuk bernafas dengan selesa disebabkan mucus yang likat dan penuh di rongga hidung. Sekali-sekala, Adam terpaksa dibantu untuk mengeluarkan mucus dari hidungnya. Tapi, Adam tak suka sangat dengan pump tu, dan akan menangis sekuat hati sebaik nampak pump mucus. Hajar lebih suka jadi 'big sister', dia buang/hembus mucus sendiri dan tak memerlukan pump tu. Tapi, masa tidur sedikit Vicks dapat memberi mereka sedikit keselesaan, Alhamdulillaah.
Hari Ahad yang sejuk ni, los angeles diselubungi jerebu asap tebal dari kebakaran yang berlaku di sekitar sini. Angin kencang menjadikan api merebak dengan cepat, dengan izin Allaah. Banyak rumah terbakar, dan maknanya ramai yang kehilangan tempat tinggal. Allaah tarik nikmat? diberikan ujian? menduga ketabahan? Hanya Allaah yang tahu.

when everyday is an explore race day ...
you will see toys and books and boxes and bottles and other things scattered all over the floor
just minutes after you put all in their respective places
kids climbing on every possible places: chairs, bed, desks, boxes
kids 'writing' on papers and walls
kids tearing papers from books and magazines
you will hear every cabinets door being opened and shut
and babies crying whenever they are told to stop doing it
they just love to explore
to discover and to learn every possible new things
sometimes they dont event want to sleep
for playing and learning are so much more interesting
and when they do fall asleep
the room feels so quiet
obviously missing the kids to start their exploration again...

flu shots, balloons, and a football
Alhamdulillaah last wednesday Hajar and Adam got to 'jalan-jalan' to the campus. Ibu n Abah went to get the free flu shots during the "Boo the Flu" campaign. The weather was nice and the crowd was moderate. No long lines and long waits.
Fortunately, there were several events going on at the same time. There were booths of free foods and goodies, and also the marching band perfomance for the homecoming promotion(it was almost over by the time we arrived, so Hajar and Adam didnt have to hear all the loud noises).
A very nice student gave Adam his mini football and Adam grabbed the ball right away! So cute, mashaAllaah. Hajar got lots of balloons with the Trojan's colors - yellow(goldish?) and red- that Abah took from the stage after the homecoming intro-mini-perfomance was over. Another father also took a group of balloons for his baby. So there we went with a double stroller with colorful big balloons attached. It sure was a head-turning!
After that, we went to the library to borrow some books. Hajar and Adam got the chance to get off the stroller and walked and played around a bench outside of the library. They laughed and played happily. Then, we walked home and made a stop at Taco Bell(for the first time :P).
Alhamdulillaah, Hajar and Adam were happy to have a wonderful day outside and got some balloons and foods and drinks and toy.

Alhamdulillaah, sekarang dah Syawal. Hajar masih lagi menjawab, "pua-sha" setiap kali ditanya samada dia berpuasa atau tidak :)
Adam dah pandai berjalan, tak merangkak dah walaupun dia jalan tak berapa stabil sangat. MashaAllaah, terasa bertuah dapat menyaksikan perkembangan anak-anak ini dari keadaan bayi yang lemah dan tahu hanya lapar dan menangis, sehinggalah boleh berjalan dan berlari. SubhanAllaah, yang telah menjadikan manusia sebagai satu kejadian yang sempurna dan kompleks.
Alhamdulillaah, gelagat Hajar dan Adam juga sangat menghiburkan. Dengan senyum, ketawa, dan tangis dua beradik ni, segala letih terasa hilang. Hajar rajin belek-belek majalah, meneliti helaiannya satu persatu sehingga dia puas. Hajar dah dapat mengenali beberapa objek terutamanya haiwan dengan bunyinya, dan beberapa perkataan yang ibu tulis dan tampal di dinding. Adam pun rajin memerhati gambar-gambar dalam buku-buku. Seronok perhatikan diorang ni sebab nampak macam membaca betul-betul.
Hajar dan Adam sekarang dah minum dengan cawan/sippy cups. Doktor kata dah tak elok bagi botol susu pada tahap umur setahun dan ke atas untuk perkembangan dan kesihatan gigi =)

Alhamdulillaah, Hajar dan Adam ikut ke majlis hari raya Malaysian Islamic Foundation of North America(MIFNA) hari ini. Hajar suka kuih bahulu, Adam suka nasi minyak+ayam masak merah. MashaAllaah, seronok Hajar dan Adam dapat bermain dengan ramai orang.
Alhamdulillaah, beraya di perantauan bersama saudara seagama.

alhamdulillaah, semalam Hajar dan Adam bertemu Mujahid,Fathimah, Asma', Zainab, Maryam, Aisha, dan Umar. Anak-anak kecil ini gembira bertemu rakan-rakan sebaya dalam majlis sederhana, berbuka puasa. Biar tidak mengerti bahasa yang dituturkan, kanak-kanak ada cara komunikasinya yang tersendiri.
Alhamdulillaah, Hajar dan Adam belum tahu apa itu puasa walaupun setiap kali ditanya, Hajar menjawab dia "pua-sha", sebelum meminta biskut selepas itu. Hajar dan Adam juga sangat sukakan kurma. Hajar selalunya akan cubit sedikit kurma di tangannya dan menyuap ke mulut Adam.
Alhamdulillaah, Adam sudah mula berani melangkah setapak dua. Dia gembira dengan pencapaiannya.
Alhamdulillaah, beberapa hari Ramadhan sudah berlalu, dan kita masih di dalam selimut keberkatannya.

Alhamdulillaah, harini Hajar dan Adam pegi klinik utk medical check up dan imunisasi. MashaAllaah, tak sangka di US ni boleh dapat perkhidmatan kesihatan dan suntikan percuma untuk kanak-kanak. Dalam negara bukan Islam ni, kebajikan bagi mereka yang tidak berkemampuan dari segi kewangan masih terjaga. Harapnya, kebajikan rakyat jelata di negara-negara Islam lebih terbela.
Hajar dan Adam sihat dan pertumbuhan normal mengikut usia masing-masing. Adam terlebih berat sedikit dan sedikit anemic. Kena makan lebih banyak sayuran hijau dan makanan yang ada sumber zat besi lebih lagi. Hajar Alhamdulillaah semua seimbang tapi kena berhenti minum dari botol susu untuk memastikan kesihatan gigi. InshaAllaah, ibu dan abah kena berusaha untuk memastikan Hajar minum dari cawan.
Kesian Hajar dan Adam, kena cucuk banyak kali harini. Kedua2 belah lengan dan peha, semua kena cucuk. Dos tambahan di US ni lebih banyak dari Malaysia. Kalau Malaysia, ada 2 kali jer dos tambahan, kat US sampai 3 kali. Hajar yang sepatutnya dah lengkap imunisasi ikut jadual Malaysia, kena lagi cucuk kat sini.
InshaAllaah, doakan Hajar dan Adam tak demam selepas menerima sehingga 4 suntikan setiap seorang.

Hajar and Adam went to the Natural History Museum of the L.A County last Tuesday. Admission is Free for kids under three and Free for all every first Tuesday in the month.
All of the animals are just replicas, but they are made in real 3D sizes with real-like background paintings. MashaAllah, wonderful are the creations of Allaah.
Hajar dan Adam dapat stickers museum dan sekeping poster gambar kupu-kupu/rama-rama(butterfiles), percuma :)

Siapa mampu menggegarkan dunia? Siapa mampu menumbangkan satu negara? dalam satu kelipan mata? SubhanAllaah.

sedetik terfikir tentang gegaran terakhir yang akan dialami oleh bumi... bagaimanakah dahsyatnya hari itu nanti?
Alhamdulillaah, kami semua tidak mengalami sebarang kejadian tidak diingini. Cuma petang semalam beberapa kali bekalan elektrik terputus dan penggera kebakaran bangunan sebelah tak berhenti berbunyi sehingga bomba datang(dgn cepat sekali). Hajar dan Adam dapat tengok bomba in action(bukan padam api, cuma cek keadaan bangunan saje).

Tapi, kami masih baru dan dalam tahap mencuba. Ada input?

lagi satu BPA-Free Bottles untuk kesihatan masa panjang anak-anak. Ada kajian yang kata BPA kat botol susu bahaya dan ada yang kata tidak berbahaya. Jadi, terpulang kepada penilaian masing-masing. Ada yang mengambil langkah "better safe than sorry," dan ada juga yang tak kisah.
Contoh BPA-Free Bottles by Nuby..murah dan comel dan praktikal
Btw, BPA-Free bottles sama murah dengan botol2 yang ada BPA(botol kaca mahal sikit) . Jadi, apa pendirian anda?

Ada kakak, abang, makcik, pakcik, atuk dan opah's :). Hajar dan Adam seronok dengan opah's(3 org :D )
sebab opah's pandai layan Hajar dan Adam. Pengalaman mengajar banyak perkara tentunya ;)
MashaAllaah, Meraikan tetamu, berjalan menjelajah bumi Tuhan, dan bersyukur atas nikmatNya.
MashaAllaah, indahnya persaudaraan.

mashaAllaah, mereka menangis, bersedih, dan ketawa. Semuanya menjadi 'lagu' seharian yang kekadang meletihkan dan menghiburkan.
Mereka juga tanda kebesaran Tuhan. Dari sekecil-kecil sel, sehingga menjadi manusia yang kompleks.
Kekadang, seketika terbayangkan waktu tua nanti sambil memerhati mereka. Kalau sudah terlalu lanjut usia dan daya ingatan sudah ditarik nikmatnya, yang dewasa dan tua akan menjadi seperti mereka semula. Waktu itu, yang tua sudah tentu memerlukan belaian dan kasih sayang anak-anak mereka, yang suatu dulu masih kecil dan tidak mengerti banyak perkara.
Roda kehidupan ini cukup menginsafkan, jika kita memerhatikan kebesaran ciptaan Allah, Tuhan Semesta Alam, Yang Maha Menghidupkan dan Mematikan.

kalau diperhatikan kesungguhannya,
mashaAllah,
tak terlawan kekuatan semangatnya untuk terus belajar dan berusaha
dia terjatuh, lebam dan luka
tetapi dia tetap bangun kembali dan terus mencuba
tenaganya mungkin tidak lebih dari yang kita ada
tapi dia punya semangat membara untuk mencuba dan merasa
dia ingin mencapai kemahuannya
MashaAllaah...
anak kecilku,
bersungguh-sungguh merayap, merangkak, dan berdiri
cuba mencapai yang lebih dari gapaiannya
cuba berdiri tegak sendiri seperti kakaknya
seolah tiada erti penat buatnya
Allah yang menciptakannya
engkau dan aku
sudah tentu menyiapkan anak kecil itu
dengan segala yang perlu untuk tumbesaran normalnya
Alhamdulillaah

Alhamdulillaah
dia dikurniakan ke dalam hidupku
Ya Allah
Alhamdulillaah
kau uji kami dengan anak-anak ini
kau berkati kami dengan wajah-wajah comel ini
kau serikan hidup kami dengan keletah

Alhamdulillaah, sekarang dah satu blok jer jauh dari masjid Umar al-Khattab. Minggu lepas berpindah-randah.Letih masih terasa. Tapi, Hajar dan Adam seronok di apartment baru. Boleh turun ke laman(emptied parking lot?) main-main atas tanah. Abah pun dekat jer nak gi masjid.
Alhamdulillaah...

we've started the reading lessons for Hajar and Adam. Obviously, Hajar's favourite word was 'nunun' as she would say 'nunun' when she saw the white cards with huge, red letters. she enjoyed watching ibu preparing the cards and would take the finished cards and stack them together.
adam was enjoying the lesson as well. he'd smile happily when ibu showed him the cards.
hopefully,we'll be consistent and Hajar and Adam will enjoy and benefit from the lesson.

I want to thank my mother
because she stayed up in the middle of the countless nights to quench my thirst
I want to thank my mother
because she sacrificed her sleep looking after me when I was sick
I want to thank my mother
because she cleaned me up and changed my soiled diaper and dirty cloth
I want to thank my mother
because she was very patient when feeding me and when I spitted out the food
I want to thank my mother
because she prepared delicious meals for me despite all the cuts and burns from the kitchen
I want to thank my mother
for all the things she has done for me, for my sisters and brothers, and for my family
I want to thank my mother
because she never asked me to thank her and return all her sacrifices
and I know, I will never close to do birr to her
=(

it was interesting to live in a place where it could be very warm in one day and be very cold the next day.
made us realize the greatness of Allah. He made everything easily.
Alhamdulillaah
Adam is now a very fast crawler, he crawled and creeped like a soldier. in no time, he would escape to the kitchen where he'd enjoy the sounds of his hand against the uncarpeted floor.
Hajar is now a very sweet sister. She would help ibu around the house, went into bed earlier and woke up with a broad, beautiful smile the next morning.

alhamdulillaah....its sunday afternoon
mashaAllah, in the last few days ibu's got the chance to see Adam's first forward creeping and clapping. it's eight months now since the day Adam was born. he's grown up quickly.alhamdulillaah.
and Hajar would clap her hands together with Adam, and the scene was so enlightening. alhamdulillaah Hajar has been very nice to Adam, no tantrum or the like. Hajar would even share her bottle whenever Adam grabbed the bottle from her.
oh btw, its very warm here in sunny l.a....i cant imagine how the summer would be...may Allah grant us good health and patience in going through this warm weather...

atas penyeri hidup kami
my baby girl was asleep on my lap
she was tired and sleepy
cried a bit and asked for ibu, muala, and nunun
before finally went asleep
my baby son was still playing
rolling and creeping around the house
he cried a bit asking for attention
before smiling again when abah came to him
trusts, gifts, happiness
and truly they are...

Alhamdulillaah, the book that ibu has been waiting for arrived safely today. Ibu has not read it yet, and inshaAllah will allocate some time for studying the book and putting it into practice.
Btw, the book was recommended by a dear friend of mine, Jazakillaahu khaeer. May Allah make it easy for ibu and abah to teach Hajar and Adam to read. inshaAllah, Hajar will be able to read and enjoy her books by herself as soon as possible.

Yesterday we had a visitor from Malaysia, Akh Fadhil. He is abah's friend and was on transit for couple of hours at L.A. Alhamdulillaah, we rented a car and abah fetched Akh Fadhil from the airport to have dinner at our home.
Alhamdulillaah a'la kulli hal, on their way back home from the LAX airport, the car's headlights were not working. Abah was not aware of it until they were just a few miles from home. Once at home and after performing solat al maghrib, abah called the car's company, Zipcar, and asked them to fix it by 9pm since abah had to drive akh Fadhil back to the airport to catch akh Fadhil's next flight. However, the Zipcar man was not seen by then, and abah asked Bro Wasif, our Pakistani neighbor to borrow his car. Alhamdulillaah, Bro Wasif was very kind and understandable and let abah drove his car.
Alhamdulillaah, one of the most exciting thing was, akh Fadhil also brought a full luggage of goodies for us (our one small luggage that was left in Malaysia when we left for L.A earlier this year). Tokpak passed the luggage to akh Fadhil at the Penang airport.
MashaAllah, the bag was full with Qur'an, abah's books, Hajar's books, our important certs and documents, and new clothes for Hajar and Adam. Hajar was very pleased to get her books back and she took the books with her to bed last night. She also loves the new telekung and mini sejadah that she got. Finally, she has her own sejadah. Jazakumullahu khaeer tokpak, tokmak, cik mimi, and akh Fadhil for preparing the luggage and taking it to L.A.

Alhamdulillah, my children are real blessings
Hajar was like her usual self, active and lively! Today, she picked up the phone when ibu called home from campus. after ibu hang up the line, she put the phone back properly since ibu got thru the line when ibu called for the second time. Ibu was trying to reach abah to check on how Adam was doing, but Hajar picked up the phone again. MashaAllah, it was very cute listening to Hajar speaking so softly at the other end of the line and at times, ibu thought Abah was behind her telling her what to say. However, abah told that he didnt even realize that Hajar was answering the calls. MashaAllah.
Hajar also knows how to turn off the burner everytime she heard the kettle whistling. Each time after she turned off the burner, she would say, "abih da." Alhamdulillah, she was quick and smart.
Alhamdulillah, my children are real blessings
Our lives have been so wonderful since the day they were born
Astaghfirullah, our children are great trusts, our responsibilities
May Allah give us strength to be good parents
Teaching and shaping the children on the path leading to Allah
to achieve great success both in the dunya and the hereafter
Allahumma ameen

Alhamdulillah, we were so thankful to Allah because Adam's fever was over. His temperature went down slightly last night, and it turned back to normal today. Alhamdulillah, it was great seeing Adam being bubbly and active again. However, we've noticed that Adam has been trying to get all the attention, and he would cry very loudly whenever he noticed that Ibu was away from him. Adam cried a lot more today than the days before he got the fever. Maybe he was just loving all the extra care and attention =), Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah, I feel relieved after reading some guides on parents.com website about babies fever There are helpful guides on how to act when your baby develops fever. After all, do not panic and know when to call a pediatrician inshaAllah.
Make a lot of dua that Allah grants us with good health and strong faith, inshaAllah.
ALhamdulillah a'la kulli hal, the weather is becoming warmer as the summer is getting closer. Adam is not feeling well right now and his body temperature was quite high yesterday. Alhamdulillah, he's recovering slowly and Hajar was not sick at the same time. May Adam become better and stronger after the fever is over, Ameen.
