Bit-by-Bit with Nihra & Family

Yesterday at childcare Aqil, they had to wear their favourite character from a book. Since Aqil have his spiderman tshirt..pakai tu ajelah!! Tak kuasa mamanya nak membeli atau membuat costume!! Bila sampai je, Aqil tercengang2 tengok cikgu2 dia pakai costume (lihat gambar!!). Kawan2 dia yg lain taklah terover sangat.. ada ke cikgunya pakai costume witch!! buku apa yek ada watak witch??? The childcare here is very professional, ada ratio teacher and kids, 1 : 3 @ 4, makan ada guidelines- all healthy food. In fact they actually have a kurikulum-even for 1 year old!! Because all of that, mahal gila yurannya!!!! For babies below 2 years old, full time hari tu aqil kena NZD240 per week. Skrg Aqil dah 2 thn, NZD219 per week. Kalau 3 tahun ke atas, NZD144 per week, murah sikit sbb ada 20 hours free. Yurannya termasuk susu, makan 3 kali and pampers. Childcare Aqil kira termurahlah kat area rumah ni. As u can see, it is per week bayarannya!! Everything here bayar ikut minggu. Sewa rumah pun...

The weather was really nice this weekend..but unfortunately duit KPT belum masuk lagi, so jalan2 dekat area rumah saje lah. The good things living here is there's so many place to go that's free!! I love the beach here..kalahlah pulau langkawi!! On Saturday we went to Wonderholm Park. Beautiful beach..aqil dah berani main air laut and seronok je dia main pasir. The beach here is very clean...but there is no tong sampah!! How to buang sampah?? Bring your own plastic sampah and bawa balik the sampah!! Interesting kan!! Dogs also are not allowed kecuali pada waktu2 tertentu spt fr 8-10am shj. The next day we went to Avondale Market, MOTAT and One Tree Hill with our friends. Keluar umah kul 8 sampai 4 petang..puaslah berjalan!! Avondale market is where u can buy anything!! dari buah, sayur sampai ke bantal, periuk..etc.. The price is very cheap. Nak masuk MOTAT patut kena bayar, tp ada promosi free for North Shore residents. Here u can see all the transportion yg ada di...

Sekarang ni kalau bangun pagi Aqil cukup susah nak mandi. Kena pujuk dulu...kadang2 jadi..tapi biasanya mandi dgn menjerit2lah!!! Satu cara nak memujuk, tunjukkan baju utk dipakai..dah pandai memilih baju. Baju yg dia suka pakai, baju pooh, superman dan cars..baju2 lain tu jgn haraplah..Baru 2 tahun dah ada taste sendiri!! Gambar2 dibawah dituju khas buat Cik Yan and Che Adi...heheh..lain kali pos cepat2 ya..baju dr Mak Lang and Pak Lang, sila tunggu ya..

Lama tak menulis kat blog ni.. it's spring here..asyik hujan je. Dah more than two weeks hujan tak berhenti.. but hujan here is not like in M'sia.. kalau kat m'sia hujan lebat and if 2 jam tak berhenti, sure banjir punya.. sini hujannya boleh tahan 2-3 jam, then keluar matahari, then hujan balik.. goes on the whole day.. tapi takde kilat and petir.. rasanya 3 weeks ago ada kilat and petir..jakun sungguh masa tu..heheh..terasa hujan mcm kat M'sia..hemm..nilah org perantau..hujan pun boleh ingat M'sia...and mentang2lah buat research hujan!! Last 2 weeks, atuk meninggal. My atuk belah mak.. atuk memang lama dah terlantar baring. Tp bukan ada sakit pun, cuma sakit tua. Sehingga ke akhir hayat pun, memory atuk still good, makan pun selera, no sakit jantung, darah tinggi.. mkn vitamin je. In the end, atuk mula meracau-racau..bila dr check, dr kata the blood ion is not stable, the positive and negative dah tak betul b'cause of old age..otak tak cukup oksigen..in the...

2nd day raya, mama dah gi ofis, aqil dah g school, ayah pun teruskan literature reviewnya.. tapi weekend tu, ada sambutan raya anjuran MAPSA, dapatlah makan kuih raya lagi. Disebabkan parking berbayar hanya untuk 2 jam, (then kena ubah kereta, park tempat lain pula- very strict in NZ, silap2 kereta kena tow kalau x ubah kete!! Mmg ada org meronda dan menanda tayar guna kapur) kami pun terus ke Auckland Botanic Garden. Cikgu Ida nak bergambar dgn bunga sakura.. malangnya..dah layu-layuan bunga2 di garden tersebut. Di auckland ni kurang cantik bila musim bunga( semua musimlah!!)..insyallah ada rezeki kita g di Christchurch tahun depan!! (adik-adikku..sila kumpul duit dr sekarang!!)
