Have your own Alexandria

Yesterday I got the chance to watch the movie - Alexandria. I heard about this movie when I was in Japan early of last year; where friends of mine from Indonesia told me about this nice movie. I spent the whole afternoon watching this movie.

The story is about a simple guy Bagas keeps his feeling towards his neighbor and childhood friend, Alexandria, but he is unable to express it out. Things change when Bagas realizes that his best friend, Rafi , moves ahead and declares his love to Alexandria, much to her acceptance. Two best friends, Rafi and Bagas and a girl, Alex there's bound to be a love triangle.

Well.. even though the plot is very simple, but I guess many lessons learned:
The most important for me is: You have to tell someone that you care for him/her, no matter what the result would be. This could apply not only for couple who are in love, also to our familes, also best friends.. We need to tell people around us that we care for them.

I remember some quotes from this movie:

Next time if you find yourself care for someone, let that person knows. Say it if you care..

You will find someone and you can know how it feels to love someone and to be loved inreturn.

You will know how it feels to have your own Alexandria...

This movie has a very beautiful ending..when Bagas finally let Rafi and Alex be together.

Nice movie.. also beautiful songs..

sorry mom.. but we prefer to be online

The Internet can be a great place for kids to learn, be entertained, playing online games, and also explore new things. By playing a great game, you will encourage them with good thinking skills as well you may actually be able to encourage them to learn more.

There are many games, and although we will only talk about a few here, find ones that will work well with your child. Like what Hannah and Hazeqah always up to..(I can give few examples here)..

These are few websites that my 2 girls always spent their time with. As soon as I reached home, they will ask me... mummy can we play the online games? well... being a good mummy, I think I have to fullfill their needs. So, normally, they will be accessing the internet until dinner and sometimes they will continue playing until 12 midnight especially Hannah. At that moment sometimes I had already zzzzzz..

Well.. for me.. I can see my girls are improving a lot with their English especially pronunciation by accessing and playing with these games. Furthermore, these online games can be used to stimulate thinking in children so that they will be more critical and creative..

Anyway... the issue here is.. sometimes I dont have the chance to touch the computer. They are 24 hours occupied. My girls now are moving 1 step ahead in ICT. They even can play the game by their own... for hours.. and for me, I just have to tell them the steps when they first access to the website. After that they will do it their own..

Umm... my weekends.. I have more time now to move for window shopping because when I ask the girls.. ok.. who wanna follow mummy to the mall? nobody will answer the question.. as they would prefer to click here and there on the screen rather then walking at the shopping mall..

find me a song..

Last night, I was accompanying my girl when she was doing her homework. It was really fun cause we talked in very nice ways and she could accept my comments. Actually to tell you the truth, even though I was a teacher before, but, teaching my own girls has always been a nightmare for me. I taught hundreds of students last time when I was in school, but they are different. They are not my family. But being your daughter's teacher, in your own house, errr... sometimes scary me..

After finish her homework, she showed me the exam papers that she sat during the mid year exam. ummmm... I was not suprise... her Bahasa Melayu was totally bad, as compared to her English, Science and also Maths. We were laughing together as I corrected few mistakes she made during the exam session.

But that was not the point. What I really want to share with you guys is...

After she put her things inside the bag, she asked me to bring her to bed. "Mummy, I am realy tired. COme and sleep with me". Well, as a good mum, even though i still have few more things to be settled (err... the auditors are coming to our sector tommorrow morning), still, I brought her to bed, lying besides her, touching her hairs, hugging her in my arms... and suddenly she asked me..."mummy, can you sing a song for me?". I was like... umm.. ok... "what kinda song you want mummy to sing?".... then she replied..."anything mummy"..

I was thinking.... umm... what should I sing?

err.... time passed by... and I still thinking...

err.... ummm... while I was still thinking, I realised she already fall asleep.

well... I started to realise... I dont have any song to sing to my girl?

come on... isnt that bad?

I cannot even think of any song...

umm....I must find a song tommorrow... so I wont be regret...

errr... any recommendation?

TRUST ME..

Lately I found myself.. that I never say the things I meant to say... and I am overwhelmed afterwards with the things I should have said and could not. At first glance, I think that I know how to converse with my close friends and family. However, I can say that there are few mistakes that I've made for the past few months:

And I can think and suggest to you guys as readers not to repeat one of my big my mistake; do not offer solutions or advice when someone is telling you about their problems.

TRUST ME!!
