IQRA'

Bacalah! Yes, besides the formal education, we have decided to send Sorfina to learn how to read the Quran. Sorfina can sing the huruf hijaiyah but does not know exactly which is which.

So four nights a week, she will learn IQRA with Ustazah Wan at the nearby mosque. Sorfina have started mengaji last week and Alhamdulillah, so far so good. Up to last night, she can recognize from 'A' up to 'HA'. Keep it up Kakak!

Sorfina practicing while waiting for her turn to read. Next to her is Sahira. She also goes to the mengaji class with us. I bought 2 sets of IQRA and rehal each for Sorfina and Sahira. But Sahira is determine to bring her own bag to the class. Check it out in the below picture.

When asked, 'Kenapa adik bawak turtle, lego dan aeroplane?' Her asnwer was simple. 'Adik nak bagi beg adik berat'. Takpelah dik.. bila tiba masa nanti adik pon sama-sama mengaji dengan kakak ye.

Welcome 2012.. Sorfina's first formal education.

Welcoming 2012 means welcoming a new routine for me and my family. Sorfina will be 5 this year and we have enrolled her into Tabika Kemas (TK). Yup.. my little girl is now entering a new phase in her life. Sahira will be three next month. How time flies right.

Sorfina is very excited to go to school. Meet new friends, learn new things... everything was a breeze except for the morning baths. You see, my husband and i usually goes to work around 6.30 am. Previous years, we just transported them to Kak Siti's house (their babysitter) without the need for Sorfina to take an early bath. On the 1st day of school, i woke her up at 7.00am. (We took 2 weeks leave considering shools starts in the middle of the week and then she have to ponteng for 3 days since we will be in K.Kangsar for Rizal's wedding.. so the new routine have to start all over again). 2nd day onwards, she opt to 'lap' only and bath after school.

On the first day of school, TK held session with parents explaining the rules and regulations, do's & don'ts, objectives, and what nots. It was very helpfull. we were even given homeworks! LOL.. It was part of the teaching aid preparation as each student must have a box with a complete set of ABC's. Two box actually.. i checked her bag last night and there was a piece of papers with numbers. That too must be in a pretty decorated box for Sorfina. It will be kept at school and each student will get his/her own box from the rack when required.

To Sorfina, mama doakan kakak berjaya dunia dan akhirat.. jadi orang yang baik, anak yang solehah dan selalu ingat Allah ye sayang.
