Educated Housewife / SuriRumah Ber-Degree

by southernNewfiegirl

This is the topic i was listening to during our lunch time at office canteen on Wednesday @ 20/6/12 @ tv3

Tho Im not totally listening and concentrate to the discussion but  one of the opinion from the interviewee are very caught my attention:

” Belajar tinggi-tinggi tapi tidak bekerja, MERUGIKAN “
Me totally disagree with her.

To my opinion as working mother , I myself
[1] Do envy with the housewife who can enjoy her family moment freely
[2] Do envy with the housewife who can prepare foods of love, fresh and healthy
[3] Do envy with the housewife who can do home-schooling/ teaching  her children
[4] Do envy with the housewife who can watch her children very 1st thing in life; 1st step, 1st teeth, 1st rolling,
[5] Do envy with the housewife who is actually is physically and mentally strong
[6] Do envy with the housewife who can go on holiday without afraid of insufficient annual leave
[7] Do envy with the housewife who can totally in charge/manage their households. Isn’t this very BIG responsibility given
[8] Its totally self satisfaction when you raise their family with her own hand

Don’t you know;
Degree Housewife is not a loser, but a winner to the family

Kisah dan Teladan

Do you remember Kisah Sang Kancil dan buaya, Jangan Monyet, Bagai Anjing dan bayang-bayang, Kisah Gagak yang bijak and few more.

These are the stories that I’m grow up with. Simple stories that is full of examples and messages. Good for toddlers and preschooler. Unlike kids nowadays who like to watch Ben 10, Boboiboy, Upin & Ipin, Princess Barbie – not forgetting my own Amirul & Widad, exposing to this stories may develop their correct Bahasa malayu, and proverb, and not forgetting adding new vocabulary. I do not know that mergastua is animals live in the jungle. I though mergastua is a bird. huhuhu

Recently, there is tv programs at Astro, Pada Zaman Dahulu. This tv series is about Aris and Ara as they experience the simple life in the village and embark on Sang Kancil’s adventures. Tho is new version of Kisah dan Teladan, I still prefer to have Kisah dan Teladan from Filem Negara Malaysia tho its animation is less attractive compare to Pada Zaman Dahulu series.

I started to introduce the Amirul and Widad to these stories and they are really enjoy with this simple yet entertaining.The message is easily understood

The following are the Kisah dan Teladan stories that i like


Kisah Sangkancil dan Buaya :
Lesson learn :
[1] Air yang tenang jangan di sangka tiada buaya
[2] Sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah jua
Meaning :
[1] Orang yang diam jangan disangka pengecut.
[2] Orang pandai kadang-kadang buat silap


kisah jangan monyet
Lesson Learn : kita hendaklah mendengar nasihat orang lain

Kisah Gagak yang Bijak :
Lesson Learn : Byk perkara yang dapat diselesaikan sekiranya kita menggunakan akal

Kisah arnab dan kura-kura :
Lesson Learn : Jangan menghina orang yang lemah, kerana menghina itu akan merugikan diri sdn

Dad’s Power And How He Can Beat The Price Of A Chicken

Photo: The Star

1. First of all, the price of a chicken isn’t going to decrease at all. In fact, . The Star Newspaper reported that May inflation rate is up to 1.7% compared to last year. This is a bad news for dad, especially a young dad like me, who struggles with limited money against his kids expense, loans, utilities, and all. Another percent of inflation is another headache to bear. The good news is, the inflation rate over the last five years is in consistent move but we don’t how long it will last.

We should be worried because average salary increase has shown the downward trend from 94 – 2007. There’s no way we can beat the economy with the salary. What we can do is, we can beat them with our expenses and demands. When both of them — especially our demands — are decreasing in the market. The market will go down its price.

2. Understand the basic micro economy. Micro economy is a study of how to we manage our unlimited want with limited resources. Also, micro economy studies demands and supplies curves in a market. You see, if there’s a demand in a market, there will be a supply. If the demand is increasing, the line will be shifting, forcing the price to go upward along the line of supply. There’s a video to make you understand.

Same as if happened the demand becomes decreasing, the price will follow downward, produce the surplus in the market. Let’s take an example of selling price of chicken. Hypothetically, 1 kilogram of a chicken is RM6.50. If no one demand a chicken in a certain period of time, the seller will surely lower the price as they afraid their chickens will be rotted. Surplus.

Mother is Challenging Occupation and I Always Dream to…

I hate to admit that i have very limited time with my children. Weekdays starts by sending them to daycare at 0645hrs  and fetch at  1815hrs. I always anticipate for weekends and counting days. Most precious time where I can spent wholly with them. Tho there is no special activities, just lay down watching tv, bathing them, preparing their breakfast, shouting at them or listening to their whining. I just love to be with them.

They grow so fast. Amirul 4 and Widad 2.They start to be independent and want to do thing by themselves. Besides working at office, I also have to work at home as a mother to Amirul & Widad and wifey to Mr Hubby. Working as a mother is the most challenging task that i need to do. Why its challenging at least to me???

Limited time to Optimize the Unconditional Love
9 hours at daycare, 4hours with me. I always dream to see they grow in front of me. Within 4 hours I need to divide between Amirul and Widad plus Mr Hubby. Fuhh. I love to hugs and kisses them as well as my favorite alarm ‘ pinch of love’ huhu. Activities such cleaning the mess toys, tickle game or cocooning under the blanket is our best game. We laugh, we cry, we shouting is how i justify that they received my unconditional love

Limited time to Feed Family with Foods of Love
Cooking a great foods with tasty taste is always my dream. Feeding Amirul & Widad with fresh and healthy foods of love  sometimes null and impossible to do. But, Mr Hubby always remind me that I’m not a 5 star chef that the foods always taste tasty and delicious. The important here is healthy foods with lots of love. Every day is nasi goreng or mee goreng that I ensure to put vegie and protien and Scott Emulsion for supplementing insufficient vitamins.  When they asking for more rice/mee is how I justify that they love my foods. :D

Limited time to Give Amirul & Widad with the Best Education
Home-school my children is always my dream. Teaching, singing, perform solat, reading Al-Quran, and explore their creativity together is most thing that I want to do. The time is so limited,the best solution is generalize the activities between Amirul & Widad. They enjoy the activities , they fighting each other, they sharing tools together is how i justify that I’m giving them the BEST education of all

Now they sleep and I’m seeing the peace through their face
I knew Amirul understand that I need to work so that I can buy him lots of Dino toys
I knew Widad understand that I need to work so that I can buy good foods for her
