Assalamualaikum and good day,
After 2 months of long break with no blog updates, so here i am again... after being requested from my cool and loving hubby to write something... now i know my hubby wants to read my humble story, written from my heart :) Despite of being chaotisch kelam kabut mom the whole day, hahhahahahhaha.
So basically everytime i open the internet, i will shift the tab to other website ie. babycenter to look on kids development n growth, preschoold kids activities, simple and quick recipe whatsoever lah. Dah stay at home mom kan, so mestilah baca and read something that can benefit my kids, my hubby and home. Sesekali tu, baca juga on iluvislam -discover the beauty of islam website, segala mcm tazkirah agama in the internet to equip my shallow knowledge on islam. nak jd ibu mithali, isteri solehah, tak kan nak tengok kika, zdf, vox sky tv deutschland channel jer, hahhahahaa. Duniawi sungguh mama ayman dan azzan ni heh.
I sometimes wonder why my hubby cakap.."i am married to secular wife.". bukan sekular yer syg, its just that i dont like to discuss on politics, religious thing whatsoever lah in the public or when i talk to my multi racial & nationalities friends. It is my principle - never ask people about their religion, never ask people what is their income or what they do for life. I try to avoid asking sensitive, personal questions so that my friends and the new people that i meet feel comfortable with me. Lebih-lebih lagi jika kita menetap di luar negara, being a minority muslim, minority asia, why do we have to make people in a difficult situation to answer about religions, politics , personal stuff etc. Small talks kan ker bagus, like asking about what do u do during leasure time, what are your kids activities at home, what do u cook for breakfast, lunch dinner etc and all the questions yang tak cakap bnyak pasal agama. done. keep your religion and political view aside.
Among the activities that both my kids are enjoying most at home are:
1. Playing with cars Mc Queen, Tow truck , tractors, police cars dan segala mcm jenis car toys, hehehhehehehe, since i have 2 small boys - their favourite are almost the same, CARS. Lego cars, puzzle cars, baju cars, stokin cars, pendek kata... my kids cadar sarung bantal semua disney lightning mcqueen cars edition.
2. Puzzle - ok, this is aymans day to day activites... we normally bought the kids puzzle at second hand flohmarkt or at discount store Mueller. jimat-cermat mama eh? mestilah, dah economics graduate mom kan, hahhahahaa... so after doing cost benefit analysis, it is not worth to buy expensive jingsaw puzzle whatsoever di toys r us yg harganya tak mampulah mama ayman nak beli yer, lebih baiklah kalau ade duit lebih sikit, i can save that money to buy WMF high quality pots, frying pans, wok for my long lasting kitchen investment. WMF cooking tools ni sangatlah bagus dan berkualiti yer tuan2 dan puan2 sekalian. My personal experience, WMF is better that Tefal. I also regularly borrow preschool kids puzzle from ulm city library. We can borrow unlimited books and puzzle for a month. The pyramid glass windows, the spacious and beautiful interior design library pun sangat cantik, Bagus library service di sini, mmg sangat dipuji, very customer friendly, mereka sangat menggalakkan generasi muda hari ini agar suka pergi ke library, suka membaca, sayang pd buku, budaya cintakan ilmu. To cut it short, to make reading as a lifestyle. I am currently reading on home and living magazine, segala mcm home interior or decoration ni i like. Quran dan terjemahannya pun baco jugok, buke tok baco, hok alohlah.....
3. Arts and crafts works - ni mmg favourite azzan and me. menggunting, melukis, mewarna, gam, paintings, doing arts from nature and recycle materials. try it ladies and gentlemen, try to add more contact hours with your kids on colouring, using scissors to develop the fine motor skills.
Okay, people might say, sarah, u boleh lah buat all the activities with your kids ... u r stay at home mom, ni hah nak cerita sikit.... tuan2 dan puan2 sekalian jgn ingat staying at home mom ni senang yer, its not easy... i clean, i cook, i go to night class belajar bahasa german turun naik tukar train naik bas, i inlvolve with most of my kids activities, hantar ambik ayman di kindergarten, kids gymnastics session, playgroup session mutter kind treffen, attending baby cafe, taking care of my 2 kids day and night, i go for grocery shooping, beli ayam daging halal semua di illertissen ni kene naik train yer tuan2 dan puan2 sekalian, my hubby called me - sarah, the house manager, hahahhahaa. jgn ingat me as a stay at home mom ni relax2 duduk depan komputer jer yer. kata nak jd ibu mithali, takkan nak duduk depan facebook jer kan, hahahhahaaa. okay, i might sound too outspoken here but i always like to be sincere and honest.
4. Bathing on the tab - this is also one of ayman and azzan favourite, mandi kolam dgn segala mcm ducks, playmobil boats etc. since i am very lazy to write anymore, itu sahaja lah yg sempat difikir buat masa ini..
for my kids home activities.
photos coming soon, i will upload later yer. this time i will just let this post publish and no more save and put into draft folder, hahahahhaaa. until next updates insyaAllah,,, nak gi sembahyang maghrib ni.
bye n wassalam, liebe grusse sarah.
