I changed the blog's name from Journey of a Pscyhologist to An Author is because I expect my audience to become readers..

and also the movie Up made the move too, until the many times I watched it, it captured my heart. Faiq loves the movie so much, he even acted like the Russel while watching him. I wished I could filming him, he looked so cute trying to walk and talk like Russel.

Yes I have an adventure to talk about, its all started in morning to get Faiq to school. Then having me for breakfast.

My thoughts run fast about making money, it is from recycling to making plants in jars. I have yet to convert it into action. Just browsed the waterproof stickers for glass jars and bottles. Just thought of putting recycles stuff in the clear plastic bags and bring them to the recycling lot for weighing and getting MONEY.

The clock ticks at 11:39am and must get ready to fetch Faiq and have lunch.

Mild adventure to venture and leaving her adventure break photo at USS.

Love,

"I am cheered coz I let myself to"

I know I blog about my morning most but its kind spontaneous feeling though I have called hubby and mom to share the story already. I am cheered by a beautiful cheerleader. She is only five years old, her name is Dania. She is helpful and care for Faiq at school. She would say "Hi Sheikh" and kiss him on the cheek sometime, even Yuen Shen did that too but Dania took and carried Faiq's bag to the class, see how thoughtful is Dania for Faiq.

Today at the car after Faiq went in, teacher Fariza told me that Dania wore scarf yesterday. The teacher asked her why all of a sudden she wears scarf, she answered "I want to become like Faiq's mom". How sweet and touched me in the heart. The the teacher continues that I have an admirer that all never thought. I feel embarrassed but say my scarf a little longer now because today I put on like Sophia Loren in convertible car and the teacher smile said sweet too.

I like to find Dania's photos if I have in school's album. Dania is a beautiful girl, I think I ever told her that.

Wassalam with love,
Fair

 

the kind of scarf that need to improve

"I shrugged but thankful"

The teacher asked whether I see any different today and know why that Faiq is happy and excited today. I asked why as in my heart I prayed hard to make the morning as easy as can be but  the teacher said because the "kid" did not come yesterday and told me that they talked to the headteacher and she said nobody wants to play with the kid but Faiq is kind of friendly with him.
I continue about the matter just to kill two birds with one stone or to have a matter solved by saying again to the teacher, I told Faiq to play near and around the teacher as the teacher could see him and observe him amongst the kids.

Actually, today I wanted to write about my cousin Sara Ahmad because right after I have learnt about the school's stories yesterday, I wanted to share it out with her. She is a positive person I know I will get a positive vibes from her. She inspires me with her activities with her kids and her smiles brighten all. Since it was already working hours, I have not yet do as thought. All about her I follow direct from herself or at her active blog thatcutelittleones.blogspot.com

Me and lovely her

"I pray yuhibbu nahum kahub billah on behalf of my kid"

The morning start was smooth but at school Faiq showed reluctancy. I asked the teacher "how" like sharing the matter with her, what she would know the solution. I told may be Faiq's bored of getting in the car because we have been road travelling since he was born yet he still follow this morning.

It was easy to get him dressed this morning I told her. He even had breakfast. Then the teacher looked concerned. I told her it is okay and spontaneously asked her to help me pick Faiq's bag up as I get him to the door by force, because when I prolong talking infront of him, then I do not how that would affect him.

At the door, another teacher welcmed him, I leave him there and went down straight to car, then the teacher told me to talk to his class teacher. I said to her never mind as he is fine, Godwill.

But three of them, the teachers of different classes came at my car window and told stories, that a trouble maker kid disturbs the class, Faiq being pushed by him, the mother complained about the teachers and about her son was not taken care of and infact warned them would make a police report if never change.

They asked me to talk to the headmitress, I said I pray first and will speak to Faiq to play around teachers and be near teacher always because he is a small, the teacher will protect him.

And i looked at his class teacher and asking her supports because Faiq's 3 year old and this is his journey that is he is lucky enough to face it with caring and loving teachers around that I am grateful for, I told them.

The teacher said Faiq is clever and knows most everything whats being taught. In the heart I thank to the Creator.

"I lift up my butt to let my kids have an evening outdoor feel"

I just got to do it with my kids and hubby to taste evening sun. After evening prayer, I get Fadya for refreshen up and my son too. Fix milk-to-go and buckle them in the car. We arrived at my hubby's office and decided to to go to small cafe as my kids love speghetti.

Suddenly it was raining, we make doas as always.

It was peaceful early dinner we had. Some outdoor feeling, sipping coffee for hubby while I had orange jjuice.

I cite Ya Lateef from the beginning to have ease and peace

From yesterday, I determine not to have any extra matter to attend to for instant like Faiq wants to stay in the car instead getting down into the school so I cited "Ya Lateef" which is I remember only that two words a special friend of mind told me to cite to our kids before going to sleep. In fact I was there when she said to her daughter goodnight and sweet dreams but her daughter came back and ask her to cite duas at her crown head, then the mother said she has a friend who is me with her now and continue asking her daughter try to sleep first then she will come later and doa.

So I cite from yesterday while doing anything to something, and today I realise it was easy in the beginning but in the Faiq said "I want to see papa". I simply reply 'but we are late already". It happened like this before I fulfill his request since my hubby's office is just before his school. He met papa and went to school happily.

But today I did not do that, I sent him, I did not talk much. More action this time, it was ok til at the school's door. Then he was calm, I went to the car and talk to one of  his friend's mother who is a teacher said it is okay to force which is the only way I had.

I went back to the teacher and gave his milk, I just did not want to waste it, and saw he's in the assembly. Alhamdulillah, I have made it to be more like rule maker and managed to make him obey and hope he knows I and him did the right thing today.


I search the meaning of Ya Lateef at  Deenislam.co.uk  Powerful Dua Wird --Ya Lateef - O Gentle
-Ya Lateef /Ya Latif - O Gentle / Subtle

Allah is gentle with His servants. he provides for whom He wills, and he is the Strong the Mighty.
Allahu Latifun bi 'ibadihi, yarzuqu man yasha'u, wa huwa l'-Qawiyyu l-'Aziz

From His beautiful and excellent Names is (Ya Lateef -O Gentle) Al-lateef: the meaning is the Ever-Discreetly Gentle, most affectionate, the knower of all sublities, The Subtle One, The Gracious, The One who is kind to His slaves and endows upon them, Most affectionate or knower of innermost secrets. He is the most delicate, fine, gentle, beautiful one. He is the one who knows the finest details of beauty. The finest of His beauties are hidden in the secrets of the beauties of the soul, wisdom, and divine light.

Subtle/Gentle: (1) so slight as to be difficult to detect or analyze, (2) operating in a hidden way [American Heritage Dictonary, 3rd Edition]. Latif: in the Arabic language: (1) the One who gives us our wants in a subtle way, (2) the One who does not wrong his servants even a little bit, (3) the One who shows grace to His creation by giving them their needs with gentleness and subtlety, (4) the One who knows the hidden delicacies of affairs [Fayruzabadi, The Encompassing Dictionary].

Whoever reads this Name Ya Lateef daily, Allah will grant abundance in his rizq (sustenance) and cause all his tasks to be accomplished without difficulties.

It is the noble attribute of Allah that saves one from poverty, misery, sickness, loneliness or any adversity, for Allah will surely grant him deliverance – Insha-Allah. ( For the one that has the ‘Ijaza-permission to recite Ya Lateef which is part of our daily Wird in our Tariqah )

( the hint is that the word lateef reminds you of lutf.. and basically ‘lutf in food’ ..like the pleasure in eating. So, rizq is easy to remember and others (poverty, misery & sickness) are non-lutf stuff)

"I make sure his basic needs fulfilled in the morning and yet still something to figure in"

After he wakes up in the morning, I assume he wants milk or bath straight a way. Then, a quick dry and put on clothes. Make him sit and give him a slice of bread. Then I get ready and make him see me going then I said lets go.

He prefers slippers or his normal shoes than his school shoes. I let him. Then I said to him to climb in his car seat. Buckle him. Give him choice to have milk, water or bread.

On the way he would show me trucks, busses of tractors. Or else power line or playground.

He also sings along Islamic musics "Bismillah Alhamdulillah".

Sometime it is easy for him to get down from the car to go in the school. Sometimes its hard and I wonder why and need to figure it out.

On his first few weeks in school
