Bercakap atau tak bercakap? a question from the main character of blog "sudah 3 tahun tapi tak bercakap"??

 

Assalamualaikum..

semalam saya sangat mengantuk...(malam bila yang saya tak mengantuk pun? hehe)

yup... saya selalu tak boleh tahan mata.. kadang-kadang jam belum pun pukul 10 malam...

budak-budak pulak selalu cerah bijik mata... kadang-kadang sampai ke tengah malam...:-(

 

Daneen semalam bertanya waktu saya separuh sudah bermimpi

 

Daneen: Mama Allah ada?

Mama : ada...

Daneen : Allah kat atas?

Mama: ( kat langit kot maksud dia)...ye

Daneen : Allah tak bercakap ye mama?

Mama : Allah bercakap ( yawning...)

Daneen : tapi kenapa Allah tak cakap?

Mama : ( Ya Allah apakah ujian ini...huhu) ( think mama ...think)..diam..

 

Daneen ulang soalan ...(ohhh noooo)

 

Mama : Kalau nak bercakap dengan Allah kita kena masuk syurga dulu ( tq for the ilham ya Allah)

Daneen : syurga itu apa mama?

Mama: syurga itu tempat tinggal orang yang baik-baik

neraka tempat tinggal orang jahat..

Daneen : Neraka itu macam mana, Allah tak ada kat neraka?

Mama: Neraka tu ada api besar... Allah tak duduk situ.. jadi Daneen kena jadi budak yang baik ok.

 

ZzzzZZZzzzzZZzz

 

Parents: believe that Allah will help you to answer... insyaAllah there is a simple answer to a tough question.

 

 

Daneen dah nak masuk darjah satu... dulu saya risau sangat dia tak bercakap... sekarang ini saya tak larat nak layan dia bercakap :-)

Blog "sudah 3 tahun tapi tak bercakap" pun dah bersawang.. mungkin tak akan bersapu... since dia dah bercakap ceritanya saya update kat sini saje..blog ini pun kekadang berdebu juga... hihihi.

Walaupun begitu saya biarkan blog itu bersawang.. manalah tahu masih mampu menyedapkan hati ibu yang bimbang... mungkin ada idea-idea yang boleh membantu.

 

Selamat menyambut tahun Baru!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Sharing is caring....

Bila terlebih rajin..... rasa macam nak tumbuk-tumbuk...instead of blender-blender

Tapi bila ada yang bergaduh berebut nak tolong.... rasa macam nak tumbuk-tumbuk jugak....boleh lagu tu?

Terpaksa makcik berdiplomasi.... haa bergilir tumbuk...mula-mula Daneen, lepas tu Aiz... lepas tu mama... sudahnya Mr H, kita makan tengahari lambat sikitlah yea...

Dulu Abg Rizq dan Kak Dhia pun lagu tu la juga masa kecik-kecik... biasanya perkara yang sama saya buat... kongsi... baik mainan, makanan atau apa pun... 

Memang kekadang rasa penat nak ber'rasional' dengan budak-budak... tak berkesudahan...

Pagi tadi Ayra nak makan fries... ada fries rupanya dalam peti ais... abg Rizq beli kat kedai runcit... tapi dia takut nak makan.... takut abg Rizq marah... dek kerana kebiasaan "I don't want to share" ... 

Saya suruh juga bibik gorengkan ... dan saya assured Ayra that abg Rizq tak marah. Then when I told Rizq that the fries he bought had finished.... and I will replace it...he said its ok mama... you don't have to.... sejuk I dengar... I guess I just need to be patient and keep rationalising with them until depa besar and faham konsep sharing is caring...

Lawatan Sekolah...

Ayra pernah tanya saya... mama kenapa kalau lawatan sekolah asyik budak darjah 4,5 dan 6 jer yang dapat pegi? Jawab saya sebab budak darjah 1,2 dan 3 kecik lagi.... terus dia counter... tapi mama, kenapa masa tadika ada lawatan... budak tadika lagi kecik mama... hok aloh terus makcik diam tak reti nak jawab... hehehe

Tak tahulah dia pegi tanya cikgu ke apa... pasal tetiba jer, cikgu sekolah buat lawatan dan darjah 2 pun boleh join juga.

So last Saturday, Ayra pegi excursion ke Akuaria dan Tugu Negara... excited sungguh dia , pukul 4.30 pagi dah bangun tidur... saya suruh dia tidur balik... tapi saya tak rasa dia boleh tidur pasal pukul 6 dia dah siap... jenuhlah dia menunggu coz pukul 9 baru berkumpul kat sekolah untuk naik bas... hihi 

Bila ambil dia petang tu... of course mak budak tanya soalan standard...best ker lawatan?... macam tak berapa best jawab beliau... kenapa tanya saya lagi.... Akuaria tu macam dah lainlah mama.. eh Ayra terre... boleh ingat ye... last Ayra pegi kan masa tu... Ayra dok dalam pram tau... kata saya... hehe... confuse kejap mak budak... 

(Pratice :Fikir dulu sebelum jawab...samalah mak budak pun kena practice juga... hehe)

Dia diam dan fikir... lepas tu dia jawab... mungkin sebab banyak sekolah lain pun buat lawatan, jadi tempat tu crowded ... itulah sebabnya tak berapa best...haaaa logik sikit kannn

Bila anak malas mandi...

Aiz sekarang malas betul nak mandi...

Betul2 menurun mak dia masa kecik-kecik dulu... pun liat nak mandi..ngehngeh

Masa I nak berangkat ke UK belajar dulu... my family dok perli... haa sukalah tu, dapat pegi UK... tak yah mandi... hiii jahat tau derang nih...

Walaupun I tak suka mandi... I mandi juga bila dah hujung-hujung waktu ...I tak de lah nak lari keliling rumah mengelak nak mandi... tang ni tak tahulah menurun sape..

So apa nak buat kalau nak suruh budak ni mandi... macam-macam teknik makcik pakai...

1. Aiz jom mandi... nanti mama bagi ceklat...
2. Aiz kalau tak mandi nanti tak leh ikut jalan-jalan
3. Aiz jom mandi tub... nanti kita main air macam fireman Sam
4. Aiz nak mandi dengan mama kena mandi now... kalau tak, mandi jer dengan bibik( he prefers me...)
5. Aiz budak baik...dia suka mandi...jom mandi
6. Aiz kenapa tak dengar cakap mama... mama sedih ni ... jom mandi

Teknik-teknik tersebut menjadik sekali dua... lepas tu ... tak jalan ... kena tukar teknik lain...

Masalahnya ... dah buntu kepala cari idea...

Semalam Mr H tunjuk video budak kena rotan... sebab ponteng sekolah... kesian pula tengok... tapi mungkin itu cara nak mengajar anak... orang tua kita cakap... sayang anak.. tangan-tangankan...

Mama : Aiz jom mandi

Aiz : tak nak

Mama : Aiz nak kena rotan ye??!

Aiz : Tak nakk...... Aiz tak nak rotan...... Aiz nak burger..

 #@##@ ape ko ingat rotan tu makanan ke... hisss... tak menjadi juga teknik ni... dah tergelak ... tak jadi lar nak rotan...

My father pernah cakap ... tak menang bergaduh dengan anak...

So apa nak buat??

Parents : buat tak tau jer...

Daripada dok stress... kalau susah sangat nak mandi... tak yah mandi de... budak budak tak lah masam mana kalau tak mandi... lap-lap sikit badan ... tukar baju ... letak bedak sikit... dah boleh cium dah... kalau dia bagi...kalau tak... kejarlah sekeliling rumah lagi... hehehe

Sahabat kepada anak-anak...

Tak tahulah semenjak dua menjak ni otak weng sikit... tengok tajuk ni boleh pulak my brainy brain translate Che Rizq instead of Chef Riz...

Terkezutt ai... macam nak terkeluar biji mata membaca tajuk tu... kakahkah..

Kalau ye pun Che Rizq bercinta tak kan sampai masuk tenet... apalahhh ... ingat glamer ke Che Rizq tu takat mak dia ada blog yang entah ade ke tidak orang membacanye.... hehehe... macam-macamlah saya ni.

bercakap pasal cinta...hermm...

Hari tu Che Rizq mengadu pasal cinta...

ingat dia nak ngadu kisah dirinya... rupenya kisah orang lain... ah tak kisahlah... best juga kalo ada spy...dia inform saya yang dia rasa Dhia ade boyfren... WHAATTT??!!

Ayra pun sebelum tu tersasul gak cakap boyfren kak Dhia bla bla bla...lepas tu alamakkk terlepas cakap... pesan mama jangan bagitahu kak Dhia ...

Saya mendengar jer... buat-buat cool...

Mencari hari yang sesuai untuk confront anak dara nih

Macam mana nak tanya ekk?

Saya rasa weird... mesti dia pun rasa weird...

Mana ada orang cerita kisah-kisah cinta pada mak... mesti cari bff untuk berkongsi-kongsi story... apa kelas citer kat mak... silap-silap haribulan kena marah tak pasal-pasal.

Kita dulu pun masa kecik-kecik kalo crush (suko habih ten ko budok jate hok kiut-kiut tu) pun pendam je dalam hati... biarlah rahsia.

Alahh ... time-time ni bukan boleh siyess sangat... kejap suka... kejap tak suka... ye tak? cinta monyet lah kata kan..should I worried?

Tapi ehh risau juga ekk...

Ermm nekadlah tanya...

Mama : mama dengaq Kak Dhia ada boyfren la ni... betui ka ? ( awat sleng utara lak nih... herm nerbes sampai tukaq sleng!)

Dhia :  ermm dah putus daa..

Mama : Senyum... tak perlu kata apa-apa...

( dalam hati lak cam ni : Makk aiii dia mengiakan!!!  cakap dah putus... baru sebelas tahun dah reti putus-putus bagai... selamba jer ko! tak rasa weird ke... tak takut pun kat mama? ehh confuse confuse... cam gini ke bebudak sekarang?)

Tarik nafas... kata nak jadi sahabat... rilekslah... sebagai sahabat... kita kena cool dan tanya..

Mama : kenapa putus ?( berlakonlah buat-buat terkejut... walhal rasa lega amat)

Dhia : Dia jeles kak Dhia kawan dengan orang lain juga.

Mama : ( kali ni memang betul-betul terkejut... ) Oooo...

haiii ... tak tahulah nak cakap apa... saya dah ajar mereka apa yang boleh dan apa yang tak boleh... haram halal untuk seorang lelaki dan perempuan...

Biasalah kalau mereka sudah mengenal perasaan cinta... mereka sedang melalui proses yang normal..... saya boleh menjadi sahabat yang mendengar ... menjadi ibu yang menegur...

Ya saya rasa saya boleh terima... kalau dalam rumah ini ada yang sedang bercinta...

asalkan....

yang bercinta itu bukan Mr H!!!

Esok...

Pernah tak uolls dengar jokes pasal esok?

Esok is a kind of trick...

So kalau dalam business, nak bagi diskaun... tapi tak ikhlas... tambah je perkataan esok kat label big sale tu... jadi cam ni " Big Sale for tommorrow 50% discount "

lepas tu bila customer claim the discount... cakaplah... " Encik, discount ni untuk besok... encik datang besok ye" ... and then bila dia datang besok... cakap lagi cam tu... so tak yah bagi discount terus... haa clever tak businessman tu...

Tapi jokes tu benar-benar telah berlaku..... menyebabkan seorang ibu kebuntuan...

Jumaat lepas Daneen bagitahu saya cam ni " Mama... cikgu cakap esok cuti "...

Sabtu lepas dia cakap lagi cam tu... okaylah kan... hari ahad memanglah cuti...

Tapi  bila hari ahad dia cakap lagi macam tu... macam mana saya nak jawap... kalau kata ya ... nanti hari Isnin tak pergi sekolah pulak budak ni.... heeeelp..

Cikgu oh cikgu... mesti cikgu tak pernah dengar jokes discount tu kann ... bahayalah cikgu... cikgu mesti berhati-hati kalau cerita kat budak tadika yang lurus macam Daneen... waaaawaaa... cam ne nak handle niii...

Parents : Parents must be smarter than the kids... hehe

Apa saya jawab...?

Uols tahulah kan budak-budak memang 110% percaya apa yang cikgu cakap... berani nak kata TAK! and Daneen kalau dia tak setuju... mengamuk... tak sanggup nak layan.

Masa hari Ahad tu saya jawab macam ni... " Ye Daneen esok cuti... tapi hari Isnin sekolah tau..."

Masa hari Isnin pula saya cakap ... " Ye Daneen , esok cuti tapi hari ni sekolah ..."

Fuhhh nasib baik... dia agree to that...

Believe me setiap hari dia cakap kat saya... esok tak sekolah... hemmm nasib baik saya clever.. kann kann...

Serious or joking?

Ayra : sedap lah mama , tapi Ayra tak nak makan kepala dia

Mama : kenapa? ( Hish membazir je)

Ayra : Ustazah cakap, kalau makan kepala ikan, nanti cepat lupa ( muka serious giler)

Mama : Ayra... Itu bahululah ( budak ni biar betul)

Parents : jangan cepat melatah..

Ayra : ikan ni tadak tulanglah

Mama : hemm ( budak ni buat lawak rupanya.. ) Hihihik...

Nak bawa ke tak nak bawa...?

Satu kebiasaan di hari minggu... saya dan Mr H akan keluar shopping barang dapur...sometimes its fun to do the groceries... sometimes we wish we can avoid and do other interesting activities....

Normally we spend 2 hours at the hypermarket... itu kalau yang biasa pergi... dah tahu mana letak barang... kalau gatal nak test/tukar angin kat hypermarket yang tak biasa... jawabnya lagi lama masa nak complete the shopping.... almaklum kami shopping banyak ... sebab ramai kannn... and selalu kononnya shopping stock for 2 weeks so that kami tak perlu buat groceries the next week.... tapi selalunya almost every week juga kami bertamu dihypermarket tu. Can you imagine... 2 hours tu kami split tau... Mr H pergi beli barang basah... lauk pauk yang smelly smelly tu... saya pula kat bahagian kering... yang kadang-kadang ade kain baju tu... hehehe pandai tak saya?

Selalunya part yang paling susah adalah masa nak keluar rumah... bila si kecik juga nak ikut..Mr H selalu against me kalau saya kedip-kedip mata nak bawa budak tu... yelah kita kan working mum... dah lah weekdays tinggal mereka pergi kerja... weekend pun kena tinggal juga... sedih tau jiwa mak budak...

Satu hari, agaknya kuat sangat saya kedip-kedip mata... Mr H agreed to bring this boy with us...

Seronok saya tolak troli with my boy in it.... but only for 15 minutes... then he started...

nak... nak...@#@##!!
 

Tunjuk nak itu... nak ini.....

Bila tak beli.... dia pun start...

alololo....

menangis... hayayo.... lepas tu meraung.... mak budak cuba rescue... bagi cokelat bagai... makan dulu... bayar belum... huhuhu..... Mr H pun start jeling- jeling.... saya tak boleh nak kedip mata dah...

Jom baliklah....

Bersusah-susah kami penuhkan troli tu... penuh jugalah kan...

Jadi untuk saya ... lebih baiklah tak bawa...kerana

1. 2 jam... dah jadi 3 jam
2. Saya membeli barang yang bukan dalam list
3. Kesian mak bapak lain yang terganggu dengan raungan budak kecik tu.
4. mendapat jelingan Mr H yang bermaksud ... " I've told you"...



 

 

 

New shoes

Not even one year, Ayra complained that her school shoes dah ketat.... kenalah beli baru...

Kalau mama dulu.... kasut sekolah boleh jadi hadiah sebab dapat no 1  tau!

Parents: Kena apply balik strategy mak kita dulu-dulu... beli size besar sikit, pas tu sumbat tisu... boleh pakai 2 tahun

As long as you happy... go to school and study well, it is ok with me .....hehehe

Suruh Vs Ajak

When Akeef was about 10 years old, I started to train him to perform 5 daily prayers. Yes it was not easy, somehow whenever I asked ' Akeef, have you prayed?' . His answer normally no and I then asked him to pray and he said ok. I used to double checked whether he really performed it or not, he usually did as per his say.

So Dhia now is 10 years old and I started to do the same... but people say different child, different behaviour... when I asked her to pray.... she did not say yes or no.... but she was silent and it was actually means NO...arrgh!

It has being for quite some time that she behaving like that and I was so frustrated.... I know it is a challenge not only to the child but also to the parents....syaitan goda dua-dua sekali... anak malas sembahyang.... mak pun malas nak suruh....

Parents: Sometimes we need to change strategy


I have been thinking of how to make this easier...... what if I request her to join me for the prayer instead.... I am going to pray anyway... so why not pray together... and guess what... it is a bit easier as she is willing to join me praying.

3 dara pingitan....

She also asked her sisters to join us, which actually another challenge for me to wait for them to prepare themselves for the prayer.... sometimes punye lama.... nak ambil wudhu', pakai telekung, hampar sejadah... sampai mama nyaris nak terkentut... hihihi...

ada orang lain yang berminat jugalah...

However I could only do this during weekend.... but really hope she get the idea that it is not hard to pray 5 times a day... betul-betul terasa beratnya nak mendidik anak,  kerana kena didik diri sendiri dulu...supaya tidak mengambil jalan mudah untuk tidak mendidik...

Parent: Parenting is not easy... it takes lots of  patience...

Cuba teka siapa saya?

Take a break - Part 6

Children will belief whatever is told to them especially by their friends.... and children nowadays love to compare and also needs to keep up with the Jones...

Parents : Sometimes we have to take it easy.... and make jokes... 


Ayra told me one evening....

Ayra : Mama ada sorang kawan Ayra kat sekolah ni kaya sangat mama.... ayah dia nak buat istana...

Mama : Oh ye ke ? mama pun boleh buat istana, Ayra nak berapa?

Dhia : Istana pasir ke mama?

Mama : Ye ( Dhia ni  kacau daun joke mamalarrr )

Ayra : Ayra nak 100 mama...

Mama : ok

Ayra : Eh 900 lah ( she tried to challenge me!)

Mama : Eh boleh je

Ayra : Batu berlian lah

Mama : Apa kaitan lah pula, batu berlian apa?

Parents : Hint... we are talking numbers 


Mama : Ohhh... maksud Ayra billion-billion ye...kalau macam tu mama surrenderlah.... hehehe

Serious matters - Part 3

Just to update on what happened yesterday.... the math text book. Actually I discovered that Ayra wanted to purchase the text book when  I called her  from the office yesterday... I was doubtful that the book store sell text book and  for RM1 only, I was afraid she might lost her confidence again but I  just let it be.

Parents : A lesson from own experience is more effective 

Then in the evening, I heard Dhia scold Ayra because she took RM10 from their tabung ayam ( Dhia is so clever to persuade her sister to  do join saving and end up buying what she wants most of the time). Ayra told Dhia she wanted to replace her textbook and she did not know how much it cost... (fuhh at least she prepared to pay more than one ringgit). She further explained that her book was actually taken by a friend by mistake.... ehhh macam-macam boleh terjadi...itu baru pasal buku je... belum lain-lain lagi.

And the conversation continued to another topic which I thought quite funny...

Ayra : Mama why my friends said I like Ikmal ( the boy who took her book)?

before I answered.... ( yes I don't know what to answer actually)...her brother pulak menyampuk...

Akeef : Eh I thought you like Adam ( her kindergarten friend)

Ayra : No lah Adam tu mangsa Ayra...

Akeef and me : Hahh!

Ayra : Eh maksud Ayra, musuh Ayra...

Pulak daahhh... cute je bahasa yang dia pakai... ye lah, hati boleh berubah ... hihihi

Serious Matters - Part 2

Handling a year one student is not easy... either for teachers or parents. It is not the same as kindergarten. First few months Ayra used to cry a lot  for she misplaced her text book or activity book or her writing book.... she just 7 but forgetful like old folk.

The other day she cried in the morning ,she could not find her activity book.... yes morning when everybody rushing to get ready for school or work. I tried to help by looking for it but at the time like that, normally you can't find anything and it could easily raise your blood pressure.

Parents : the symptom of hypertension - the rising tone of your voice....


And that evening she told me that actually she had submitted the book to her teacher the other day.... haiyaaa... buang karan je cari.... what is wrong with her memory actually... padahal markah hafazan dan segala yang kena hafal tu quite tinggi juga....

On the other time she lost her music book, but this time it was not her fault but little Aiz threw the book out from the window and landed on the parking roof. And I said to her "may be you submitted to your teacher..." cheeah belajar dari pengalamanlah konon... but she denied it. That book was a writing book so it was a bit easy to solve... I told her to buy and replace the book from bookshop at school. Being a standard one and with zero confidence, it was hard to convince her that there were no monsters at the bookshop.

Parents : sometimes we have to do extra....(effort)


So I had to follow her to the bookshop ( I was on leave luckily) and showed her that it was so easy to do 'shopping' ( the real problem with shopping is only... money, money, money!).  Then after that day... she has gained confidence...so mak nye pulak lah kena siap dgn duitnye... ade je barang nak beli...

This morning, again! she lost her book and this time it was a math text book.... and confidently she said she will buy the book at the school bookshop and think that it will only cost RM1.... and  I think I'm the one who scared now.....

Serious Matters-Part 1

I was doing my spring cleaning and decided to transfer the photo albums from living room to guest room and I found this in Dhia's Photo album....

A letter addressed to me...expressing her feelings and I was really shocked as this was so unexpected especially from Dhia who always so straight forward. Well  she always practising democracy where you can talk freely and give comment about almost anything... like," mama, I think you need to go to slimming centre, you are fat" and... mama why this aunty's nasi tomato taste differently" ( in front of other people...!!). So this young lady is actually not insensitive after all....the letter prove that and I definitely need to have a private talk with her

Parents: Do not panic and ambush the child, take a deep breath and think straight...  


So I showed her the letter and asked her what was it all about.... guess what?

She totally forgot about it as it was written like a year ago... huh...

After all , nothing bad happen throughout the year, our relationship was just fine... so it was not as serious as I thought, but of course I will try my best to be fair to all, every normal mother  loves her children fairly  but sometimes situation can mislead the perception and  may be mum not oblivious as we are also human.

So she wrote me a letter... who knows in a few years time, she will post a topic in a blog to express her feeling towards me....

Take a break - Part 5

Well ok... I think its time to teach the kids a little bit about.... life... I mean sex education that I dread so much.The reason is because of the TV shows nowadays are so open when showing the kissing and touching parts that I'm afraid the kids will get wrong ideas about it.

Parents: try to use simple language when explaining things to kids


The conversation was more or less like this ;

Mum : You know... you are not allowed to kiss and touch unless you are married

Kids : Why?

Parents: 'Why' is a common question, so be prepared


Mum: Errr...

Mum : Because by doing that you might end up pregnant and you will give birth to a baby ( may be it is good to scare them a little to protect them ... yes!). You don't want to have and care for a baby all by yourself right.

Naaz Dhia : So you and papa have married 5 times, am I right?...( I have 5 kids, remember..... )

Mum:...????

Dear Dhia.... mama never counts how many times mama and papa  have married to have you and 4 others.... hahaha

Parents: May be better leave this area to professional..... arrrgh help....

Take a break - Part 4

Sometimes after a scary movie or for no apparent reasons, the girls are still sleeping with their eldest brother (or the other way around...heheh). So one day, I told them that boys and girls cannot sleep together even if they are siblings. I think I said like this;

"In Islam,  when you grow up, boys and girls cannot sleep together in one room"

Then suddenly Ayra protested " But Mama, why you and Papa sleep together?"

I was speechless....

Parents:... silent cannot satisfy curious child....

Akeef and Aiz ......12 years of age difference

After a while I managed to answer " We can sleep together because we are married but siblings cannot marry..."

Should I start teaching them sex education now?

Take a break - Part 3

I was in the bathroom one day and forgot to lock the door.
Parent: don't forget little little things as you may experience the unexpected.


Suddenly Ayra opened the door and caught me....about to be sexy ( stop your imagination ok) ... with wide gaping mouth she then said;

"Mama, why don't you lock the door, lucky it is me, not Papa"

Papa??!!... it was hard to remain serious and not to laugh but I have to.... for I was not ready to start teaching her sex education  just yet....

My innocent Ayra at 4 years old

Take a break - Part 2

Nasr Ayra being a new standard one student came home and told me....

Mama, ustaz asked to bring 'buku adam' tommorrow....

Buku adam??

New subject? , Buku citer ke ?

First day to school - orientation day 3.1.12

Well parents find a keyword ok.... here is 'ustaz'...


Ok Ayra nanti bawa muqaddam esok ye...

Take a break - Part 1

Naaz Dhia one evening asked me..... Mama, what is the name of this hisdustan hero, its start with a letter 'R'. Well as parents, we must answer the question even if we have to crack our mind....
Errr is it Rishie Kapoor?.... No
Hrithik Roshan?.....No
Could it be Shahrukh Khan?..... definitely not, I said 'R' ....??
Oh no... cannot think of anyone...must try...


Suddenly....


Oh yes I remember now mama, its Rosham Nor...

???!.... Kahkahkah....adoi pecah perut...

Ade macam rupa hindustan ke?
