BAZAAR BUKU JOHOR!

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

I just thought that I need to write more. Maybe sebab kalau dekat rumah ni, aku kurang berbual dengan isi rumah selain anak-anak yang soleh solehah itu. Jadi, let's express more in writings.

So last night, on 8th September 2023, we went to Aeon Mall Tebrau.
At first memang plan nak gerak sebelum Maghrib since i'm on my P, so husband je solat. Tapi anak-anak pun manja-manja nak mandi take time, I bersiap lambat, then finally around 7.40pm juga bertolak sebab husband makan dulu.

So sampainya di sana, kami beli roti dulu sebab aku tahu aku akan lama dekat jualan buku tu nanti. Anak-anak pula belum makan, sebab aku masak kuew teow and they didn't fancy it much. So, we went to La Boheme Aeon Tebrau tu. Dah siap beli roti, kami terus cari kawasan Bazaar Buku tu.

Aku masuk kawasan jualan tu seorang diri sebab husband kata, dia taknak masuk. Lagipun husband dengan aku memang berbeza, dia mana minat pembacaan printed materials, so aku jelah yang masuk shopping spree! Which is good sebab anak-anak pun akan stay dengan dia dan less drama lah jawabnya masa aku nak memilih buku tu nanti. 

Aku beli 4 buah buku, bajet pun ciput, jadi kenalah kawal diri. Aku beli 2 untuk aku, 1 adik aku yang Sarah tu kirim, 1 lagi untuk anak-anak. Judul buku tu adalah :

1-Susahnya Hidup Dengan Manusia - Akif Basri & 'Asim Hatta

2-Terima Kasih, Luka - Hasif Rayyan (junior IPBA!!)

3-Letters to God - Norhafsah Hamid

4-Didi & Friends the Movie comic version

Okay, apa yang menarik waktu Bazaar Buku Johor tu?

-Engangement with audience was actively and very well-done on the stage, the emcee was super duper informative.
-Buku pelbagai peringkat dijual
-Walaupun macam-macam pilihan ada, tapi susunan gerai/booth tu dekat jadi kita senang buat perbandingan dan tak luangkan masa yang lama sangat untuk buat keputusan. Zapp3 siap!!
-Pelbagai cara pembayaran dibernarkan, tunai, online transfer, QR transfer pun ada
-Program selama 4 hari (7-10 September 2023) yang mana pada aku cukup untuk peminat buku hadir, kali kedua jika dia terlepas membeli sesuatu..

Okaylah cukuplah penulisan kalini, penulisan pertama bagi tahun 2023 seorang Nisa Afiqa =)

Love yourself dearly!

A year of silence

While completing my school task, i suddenly remembered my one and only blog that i've left for a year. 

No post at all in 2019! I WONDER WHYYYY? Too busy with life i guess? 😣

So that i'm back now, i would like to list out all things that had happened and had been done by me personally, and by people around me throughout 2019!
B I S M I L L A H....

JANUARY
Fayyadh's 1st birthday, i baked a simple fresh fruitcake on my own! A major success coz it's actually simple. i used to think that it was super complicated to bake it looking at all the fruits being topped on the cream. Plus, it's quite priceeeyyyy

FEBRUARY
My first all-girls trip after i got married! Except for Ahmad Fayyadh lah, he was the only boy who followed us, my highschool girlfriends to Penang. It is indeed a lovely place to be spent again and again..

MARCH
Malacca Trip with in-laws to celebrate my father and brother in law's birthday. Double event. Ouh, actually it was triple coz my biras decided to let me and husband celebrate our 2nd anniversary as well. Hence, the cake got all 3 events written on it.

We went to Kuching, attending my Baiti wedding. Si Betot!

Then, it was the month we stepped into our own first house =) alhamdulillah, everything was totally His Blessings..

JUNE
My brother got married!!!

My school English panel first drama team -- Avant-Garde passed the first round of the Petronas Science Drama Competition (PSDC) 2019 and succeeded to go to the FINAL round in Putrajaya!

SEPTEMBER
The scariest month of all, especially for Year 6 teachers. The one and only UPSR😆😆😆
Alhamdulillah all my 32 pupils passed both English papers (Pemahaman and Penulisan) and 2 of them got A's..

My lovely husband birthday! We went to Penang (again, for me) as his birthday gift. (It was actually me--who really wants to go for a trip, after the hectic weeks and weekends before UPSR)

NOVEMBER
My first FUN RUN! with Mr. Phaez!
5km jerrrr not more than that..yet? Maybe this year i'll try 10km? phewwww

DECEMBER
Holi - holi - yaayyyy!!
i think, this time i spent my December holiday (while being an English teacher and a wife and a mom and a sister) much much better and wayyyy nicer than previous year.

1st, coz i have my husband here with me. Last December holiday (2018), he was away in Langkawi. So most of the time i'll stay home (mom's place), nothing much to do, nowhere else to go..like what Malay says, krikkk krikkk..

2nd, Fayyadh has grown up so he's up to more challenges like, accompanying me shopping 😜

3rd, i planned my December before the holiday started. So i got 2 English home-tuition classes each week. So it's kinda help me not to forget how to teach and how to apply the grammar tips laa.. alhamdulillah for that. i study too while teaching others.


So, that's basically how my 2019 went.
i will try my best to write more in 2020 coz i love this year..2020

i'm hoping that 2020 will be a year of my excellence, in everything i do. Aminnn

Hi, assalamualaikum!
Remember Rayyan? He has grown up to be a totally different Rayyan you know. 
Let picture speaks.

Hi, can you believe this is me? =p

Wargghh!

'Teacher, more selfie pleaseee..'

See, no more innocent-look Rayyan. But he's still a nice and friendly boy deep inside.

So far, IJC 2015 has come out with so much improvement i guess. The number of children getting bigger, volunteers (akak-akak dan abang-abang) pun makinlah ramainya (tapi masih tak menang tangan ohhh), hall lebih luas and aktiviti pelbagai. Session with Al-Baghdadi institution, tea-time, archery and petting session (real animals tauuu) etc.

This time, the hall was located at the ground floor, which i found it to be easier for parents to pay a visit, tengok-tengok keadaan anak depa. Plus, hall IJC kali ni sebelah mother's room which is sangat memudahkan semua orang. Takdela parents terkejar naik ke 2nd floor nak jenguk boys and girls depa atau these children yang berkejaran turun eskalator sebab nak cari mak pak depa. -_- it happened last year for real.
Despite all, ada je kekurangannya. Of course, that's human that we do. Serba kekurangan. 
Let's see..

The happy volunteers! Finally =)

Bismillah.

When was the last time u and i remember qiyamah? Let us reflect.

This time, i wanna share one 'ibrah, a very thoughtful scene i encountered with two boys. i named it as 'IlmFest story =)

So this was the conversation between me and two 5 year-old boys.

F : teacher! I draw volcano.
Z : teacher look! The volcano is really strong.
Me : why do you say so?
Z : look at the red colour. It covers the whole mountain.
Me : yes..it is called lava right.. Look at how F draws it.
Z : yeah..the lava is so strong. It can destroy us because it's hot.
Me : us only?
Z : hmm..it can destroy the people, animals and plants too.
Me : very good. there will come one day when it is really happening.( i mean the destruction of life) Do you know when is it?
Z : **thinking**
F : QIYAMAH!!
Z : oh teacher. No!! Don't say about that (the qiyamah) 
Me : why ?
Z : because later your dream will come true. (with a worried look)

I don't know what was in his mind by saying that. For what I remembered was a famous tale of a young boy who's scared of the hellfire. 

And the clock is ticking.

So i did promise to write more about 'IlmFest right? or to be exact, IJC.
Ada dua, tiga cerita-cerita lain yang menarik sangat tentang apa yang terjadi sepanjang kami di PICC tu. Panjang nak menaip. Tunggu entry ke3 lah :)
So this time around, more pictures to come.

These children were reciting du'a and dhikr. I don't really remember what were they waiting for. Sama ada waktu solat, atau next game. 

Group activity

Adorable. Future leaders.

'Hi, assalamualaikum everyone! I am Rayyan. 5 years-old Rayyan. I'm the one with an adorable cheerful and handsome look up there. Oh wait! Wait for teacher Nisa's entry next year. The same month. You'll see how I grow up so fast that makes my teachers frust.'

Oh please, Rayyan. Let teacher writes.

Assalamualaikum again guys and girls =)

Last weekend, my wondergirls* and i volunteered for 'IlmFest 2014 Ihsaan Junior Club (IJC). Was held for the first time in Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), it is an international-level conference that brings you both international and local experts as speakers. Of course, it is akhirah-based event yang akan buat kita lari dari sibuknya dunia ni selama dua hari (weekend je). And of course, pesertanya pun dari dalam dan luar Malaysia. 

Though final exam's coming, we (wondergirls and i) did take the risk to be there. Spending two days with Ihsaan Junior kids really sparks me. Most of the kids were from English-spoken family so depa really speak English ohh! Kalah teacher ('_')

And alhamdulillah, we got chance to see how Islam is nurtured in young hearts at their early age. Macam-macam kisah ada.

was glad to see the fullhouse.

was so happy to know other volunteers.

was really excited to meet them soon (next event inshaAllah).

And syukur...Allah ease everything from the beginning to the end.

Ouh, wondergirls were Wawan, Fai, Wadah, Eika, Acu, Knisa and Amii.

Meh i belanja gambar untuk part 1 ni.

And these were parents' feedback =) 

Till then, assalamualaikum! See you next entry.
