One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish

We went to the aqua pet store last month to get new pets, since the girls have missed their cat they left at Nek Ma's house.  They love fish just like their father.  I found that fish is easy pet to care and looking at them swimming will definitely give us a peaceful mind.  Here are some tips for caring for pet fish:

1. Consider the tank size.  We go for a small one for a starter.  
2. Plan ahead.
3. Pick a small peaceful fish.  
4. Feed frugally.  Your kids can handle the feeding, just help them measure the right amount.
5. Change the water every week.

Baby traditions: cukur jambul

We went to baby Aleescha Sophea's very first haircut event last month in Seremban.  Since neither of you ever had the chance to be in the gorgeous buaian, I hope you guys did very much enjoying it, as much as I did!  To note, all three of you had your first lock cut by Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz in his very mosque early Subuh.  I waited in the dark in the car holding my little baby and listened to him reciting verses of the Quran.  Ahh, memories...it seems years ago.  After tazkirah, Bapak rushed to get that little baby with few hair to be shaved by Tok Guru.  Back home, Bapak and Tok Ba finished the haircut by completely shaved all of your head.  I want more babies, I want to wait in the dark holding little human being with covered foot and sweater.  Ok, I need to hold the memories and future, enjoy the photos!

P/S: Thanks Ibu Aleescha, we did get free photo shoot by pro photographer that day! Wink!

We do playgrounds!

We are urban dwellers, yaww!  We have small house with no yards, yaww! So we do playgrounds! And for the parents, here are the tips taking kids to the playgrounds:

1. Wear appropriate attire.  No open-toed shoes.  Wear hats.
2. Do keep an eye on your child.
3. Do share.  The playground is free for all.
4. Do intervene.  If you see a child doing something dangerous, don't assume his caregiver is watching.  Help to remind the child.
5. Do pay attention.  See whether your child is bullying others or run wildly.  Bullying ain't cool.
6. Don't be a playground gossip.
7. Don't get mad when older kids hog the equipment.  
8. Don't assume.  Check the equipment.
9. Let kids be kids.  Stay out of "No!  Jangan. Nanti jatuh!"
