His obsession for Wimpy Kid

Setiap hari Papa Emir akan ambil Emir dari sekolah sebelum dihantar ke nursery. Tapi selalu sebelum ke nursery, ikut keadaan, Papa akan bawa Emir pergi lunch ke, terus hantar ke nursery ke, takpun pergi library.

One fine day, Emir bawa balik buku The Wimpy Kid and he started to borrow the books and read it over and over again. 

I did asked him what so special about the book, but of course it kind of a difficult question for him.

Disebabkan dia sangat obses dengan buku-buku the Wimpy kid dan tak semua buku ada di library. Papa pun mengvolunteerkan diri beli terus the whole set of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid for him.

MasyaAllah, sangat berbaloi beli buku Wimpy Kid untuk Emir. Emir baca dari kulit ke kulit, setiap isi kandungan buku dia ingat. Siap masuk dekat the Wimpy Kids website and joined this quiz.. and yerp, he answered all the questions correctly. Kalau lah ada the real contest for Wimpy Kid, Emir boleh jadi winner ni.. 

Bila i kata ke mana saje dia bace buku, i mean it ke mana saja.. Kalau i kate tak boleh main laptop, tak boleh tengok youtube, memang dia akan capai the Wimpy Kids tu. Though the Wimpy Kids book is not so on educating the children, (well, it just a story of a sixth grade boy), but the side effect of reading this book is, it nurtures the reading and writing in Emir. Yes, Emir does read book previously before the Wimpy Kids, but he has not shown any interest on "focus" reading. 

Recently, the Wimpy Kids launched their 9th edition and Emir was so happy to be one of the earliest readers for this book. Siap habiskan dalam few hours, tolak tv, tolak youtube, tolak game sebab nak habiskan siri ni.. 

I dah bace dah buku ni. memang best.. gaya penulisan yang sangat bersahaja, santai dan kite rasa bila kite bace buku ni macam kite cakap dengan Roderick. dan i tinggalkan gambar Emir dengan bapaknyer :) cute sebab dua-dua duduk gaya yang sama :)

Menangani masalah anak kurang bercakap

This posting is not related to any advertisers neither related to blogging job. Just my personal view in handling my "so-call" quiet son. 

Anak saya Emir, sekarang dah 8 tahun. Alhamdulillah Emir membesar sebagai seorang yang sihat, cukup rupa parasnya dan fizikalnya dan juga bijak. Ok fine, sounds so proud, but i wanna say, he is smarter than his mom definitely. 

Cuma, bila Emir makin membesar, I realized that Emir semakin senyap.  Emir ni dia punya karektor, he will not voluntarily speak to you, baik di rumah mahupun di sekolah. Cuma dekat rumah, i sebagai mak dia, selalu lah i cakap dengan dia. 

Tapi di sekolah, i selalu sangat terima feedback yang Emir suka menyendiri, suka buat keje sendiri. Bile i datang sekolah, i can see him suka duduk sorang-sorang, honestly he actually has no good friend per say. 

Yes, i a little bit worried. Mane taknye sebagai emak, saya ni tidak lah peramah, tapi i tak reti nak buat bende sorang-sorang. During my childhood days, I ada kawan yang mak i boleh cam, this is "kawan mira", "bestfriend mira", and Emir has nothing in particular.

Kesian jugak Emir, ye lah, mane taknyer. Mungkin salah satu sebabnya memang Emir sendiri banyak keseorangan. Being the only child in the family, the only grandchild for quite sometime mungkin banyak mempengaruhi dia..

I pakai word kesian? 

Slap me. 

Lama-lama i fikir, that is him. There is something you cant change. 

I pernah duduk dengan Emir. Face to face, heart to heart conversation with him. I did asked him whether he has any personal issue with his friends and why he likes to be alone. 

The answer is simple.

"i dont have any problem". Which is true. 

He is happy on what he is right now. 

He is happy to go to school. Kalau dia rasa nak berkawan, dia akan bercampur dengan orang-orang tertentu.

He is happy to go to the nursery. Yerp, walaupun Emir ni tak delah 100% keseorang sebab dia pergi nursery, tapi still nursery bukan lah as-sebab untuk shape anak jadi pandai mix dengan orang. Kalau dah sifatnyer pendiam.. pendiam lah..

He is happy at home or any other places that i brought him.

in other words, yes, he has no problem for that. 

dan bukannyer dia tak de kawan.. Ada.. Selalu kawan yang boleh masuk dengan dia adalah kawan yang suke main game.

Why i wrote this? Yesterday, I attended report card day and met his teacher and one of the comment received was the same comment i received over the years - "suka sorang-sorang". 

But again, teacher agreed, kalau kita ajak dia bercakap, he will speak, tak de malu-malu. Tapi dia bukan jenis yang akan volunteer ke depan atau sewaktu dengannya. So, why should i worry?

Bile i tengok balik, kawan i banyak juga yang pendiam, Alhamdulillah setakat ni semuanya berjaya dalam pekerjaan masing-masing. 

Cuma mungkin orang yang pendiam, kita akan nampak self confidencenyer kurang. Ye lah, orang yang suke ke depan, they love to be in the crowd, join here n there, debate etc.. but orang yang pendiam, they just like to observe, tapi bile kite panggil dia bercakap, usually orang yang pendiam lah orang akan kagumi.

Jadi sebagai mak, i rase i kene develop kan dia part ini, biarlah dia suke menyendiri.. but when the time he has to present or something like that, he will give his best.

So, its ok.. Emir is already perfect for me.

Harap bile Emir bace post ni satu hari nanti, Emir boleh buktikan orang yang pendiam juga sangat boleh berjaya dalam kehidupan. Diam-diam ubi berisi.. By the way, you already make us proud.. so much..
