Teaching shahnaz Table Manners

Hi uols....  lamanya I tak update blog kan... banyak benda nak share tapi tak tau nak start dari mana.

Okeh... jom kita start dengan kisah I ajar Shahnaz about table manners.  Ingat lagi I mula-mula ajar Yasmine about table manners when she was about 4 years old.  Tapi with shahnaz I start her late.

Walaupun agak lewat I taught her about table manners, alhamdulillah... she could follow most of it like sit properly at the dining table, wait for the food to be served patiently, wait until everyone is seated patiently and do not shake her leg whenever she is dining.... just to name a few.  Tapi one thing yang I rasa she finds it rather difficult to do is to much her food with her mouth close.  

Hahahahaha... agaknya dia rasa tersiksa sangat kot nak mengunyah sambil tutup mulut.... hopefully as time goes by and  with consistent reminder harap-harap menjadi habit dia kunyah makanan tutup mulut... sebab it's sooo annoying you know... makan berbunyi... I really can't stand it. Arrrghhhh.... 

tengok tu... muka budak tersiksa kena kunyah sambil tutup mulut... hahahahaha...

Mac & Cheese

Semalam Shahnaz request I masakkan dia macaroni and cheese for dinner... Actually she requested the night before... tapi sebab too short notice, mana dan I nak defrost ayam.... itu yang I fulfilled her request semalam.

 Seperti biasa... I kan poyo hahahaha... perasan masak cam best sangat mengalahkan chef... I upload gambo my mac & cheese tu kat instagram.... sekali ada yang berkenan la pulak... Nasib ada extra... so boleh la I bawakkan untuk Ieyta and my colleagues kat ofis.  Tak kurang jugak ada yang request for recipe.... So, Ros... this one is for you... (^_~)

MACARONI & CHEESE

Bahan-Bahan

Macaroni

Bawang Putih - ditumbuk

Cendawan Butang - dihiris

Sosej - dihiris

Daging Ayam - dipotong kecil (boleh jugak guna udang / sotong)

Fresh Milk

Cheese -  Zareene guna cheese 4-segi yang letak kat sandwich tu

Italian Herbs

Garam

Minyak Zaiton

Cara-Cara:

1.  Didikan air dalam periuk.  Setelah mendidih, masukkan sedikit garam dan minyak zaiton.  Rebus macaroni ikut arahan pada paket atau hingga kenyal, tos dan ketepikan.

2.  Tumis bawang putih hingga wangi, kemudian masukkan daging ayam.  Tumis hingga ayam masak.  Masukkan sosej dan cendawan butang.  Gaul rata.

3.  Masukkan fresh milk dan kepingan cheese.  Taburkan Italian herbs.  Perasakan dengan garam.  Kalau nak lebih creamy, lebihkan cheese dan susu ye.

4.  Masukkan macaroni yang direbus tadi.  Gaul rata.  Dah siap... senang kan... 

yang ni I buat sebelum ni... letak udang... 

Sports Day 2015 Smart Reader Kids Bandar Pinggiran Putra

Awal September hari tu sekolah Shahnaz hold it's annual sports day.  Kali ni diorang buat dekat Dewan Dr George Lim Ah Soo, Taman Equine.  Tahun ni is the final year Shahnaz kat sekolah ni... next year dah masuk darjah 1...  Tapi untuk sports day tahun ni, Shahnaz and I je yang pergi... Pakdin tak join sebab jaga Yasmine demam.

As a 6 years old students, Shahnaz involved dengan 2 acara... unlike previous years 1 acara je yang dia involved.  The event started dengan persembahan students and followed by the sports event.  Hari sukan ni diakhiri dengan acara sukan para ibubapa which I never join before sebab kami selalu sampai lewat... hahahaha... Lepas sports day tu both of us terus balik rumah...

Bila Mama Sofia Cuti

Minggu ni my babysitter takde... Dia cuti the whole of this week.... Supposedly she started her leave on Wednesday till Friday... sebab anak dia nak kahwin... but since a lot of things tak settle lagi, she had to take her leave earlier.  When she told me on that Sunday morning, I dah pening dah.... mana nak hantar Shahnaz... hubby will be outstation... I pulak ada fitness training pagi tu... luckily her kindergarten ada daycare.... so tumpang la kat situ.... puas remind dia that she has to stay at the daycare for 2 days i.e. Monday and Tuesday... Alhamdulillah.... she understood... 

So, Monday afternoon tu her teacher Zai whatsapped me these photos.... Alhamdulillah... dia ok duduk kat daycare tu...

While from Wednesday to Friday, babah dia jaga....  Just got a phone call from Pakdin... suruh I gi bawak Shahnaz ke saloon petang nanti... sebab dia main gunting and cut her hair.... waktu babah dia tengah nap.... haihhhh..... 

Aktiviti Cuti Sekolah

Cuti sekolah baru-baru ni kitorang tak ke mana-mana pun.  Sabtu hari pertama cuti sekolah tu kitorang gi fetch Pakdin kat airport.  We then headed to Citta Mall sebab dia nak jumpa his spice girls... Sampai Citta Mall kitorang gi tengok wayang dulu... cerita Cinderella... amboi... kemain suka lagi the yasmines... especially Shahnaz... siap cakap dengan we all nak beli dress blue and glass shoes cam Cinderella... 

After tengok wayang kitorang meet up The Spice Girls kat Onde-Onde... tapi Yasmine plak taknak makan situ... takde western menu katanya... adoiii... omputih sungguh la.... Demi memenuhi kerenah anak-anak, kitorang gi makan kat Paparich... nyesal plak tak gi makan kat Fatburger.... Lepas makan, singgah kejap kat karaoke sebab Pakdin nak jumpa Spice Girls kat situ.. tup-tup melekat la pulak... dah kat situ, anak-anak I pun apa lagi.... menyanyilah.... ini first time diorang masuk karaoke.... Tak boleh selalu ye sayang... we can only go there with babah and his friends only....
