I see the light
"You'll be so proud of yourself once you complete them!"
-- Aki
Aki, i'll vote for you for the person-who-is-always-always-right award. totally.
After handing up the 3 assignments on Wednesday, I can't help but feel proud of myself. 3 assignments in 4 days. It was madness. It was MORE than madness. But Alhamdulillah (and yay) i did it, i did it. I'm not so proud that i did it all in the very last minute. And i know I could have produced a much much better work if i started on those assignments much much earlier. People, doing all 3 assignments ALL in the last minute, is not to be proud of. Please don't model me. BUT, i'm locking my worried-self for now and letting my happy-self freeeeeee. I'm just glad I've completed those assignments.
So, 1 more to go. I've granted myself 2-days break before i start on this last assignment. I better kick some bottom for this one. 1 assignment in 4 days sounds better than 3 assignments in 4 days, aye.
Some people questioned my sanity in going out on Monday when i still have not completed those assignments. But truth is, I think i'd be less sane if i were to go through with all those assignments and not meet these 2 lovely ladies in between.
Ladies, thanks for the much needed break. You both know i love the talks and laughter we shared (:
And here is Izz, half-face covered with sugar.
Nisa crawled underneath the table and of course Izz followed her. He always does.
I believe in giving children the chance to explore environment and things by themselves; allowing them to gain knowledge by experience, and not restricting choices. Of course you still have to be there; to ensure that the child's safety is not compromised.
Discovery is pure.
Pure fun.
Pure innocence.
Pure knowledge.
Pure.

Ever wondered how i'm still young at heart at 21 and forever cheerful and upbeat? (hah. self-assumptions and portrayals, i know).
Try hanging out with a 1year 9month boy whose favourite TV shows include Thomas & Friends, and Bob the builder. And a 6year 11month girl who draws triangles as body.
My 2 little ones has provided me with endless entertainment.
Here's a video of Izz eating prata. Look at how he tears the prata into super small pieces and dipped into sugar. I reckon he liked the sugar more than he liked the prata.
I know prata is not very healthy, especially for a 1+year old body. BUT be assured that we don't feed him prata everyday. And eating prata helps in a child's fine motor skills i think, with all the tearing and the dipping. heh. ok, excuses.
And i'd also recommend allowing children to eat by themselves whenever appropriate. It helps them develop faster, i think. And prevent the child from being too dependent on an adult. Yes, allowing child to eat by themselves = messy kitchen & messy child. But hey, a 5minute clean-up of the kitchen (and the child) doesn't hurt.
Ok, video. Nisa's voice can also be heard in the background.
