winter depression

my hubby said ther is such thing as winter depression and some people are suffering from it.. i think i'm one of them.. don't like the gloomy weather it reflects a gloomy mood.., and though winter is 2 months away, i found fall is equally likely.. sometimes it's just too cold it becomes unbearable. am i having fall depression?? hmmm..

Afeef's school..

This one went well too... he wasn't happy at 1st but eventually he didn't want to go home.. that was afeef's 1st day at kindergarten. he seems to enjoy it, i'm truly glad.. but i must give lots of credits to all kindergartens here in Germany.. unlike in M'sia, they are so concern about the children, the place itself is designed specifically for children, small toilets, huge playground, gymnasium, they have their own cook, and they ensure the children have none other than healthy and nutritious foods, the teachers are nice and friendly regardless of where we are from, and lots more... i'm surprise to find out that kindergarten here are all bout play play and play whereas in m'sia all bout study study study.. and kids in primary school here they have simple sylabus and they focus more on social skills, self confidence, and sense of self.. malaysia is so exam oriented that children become so stress and depress.. funny how malaysian school's syllabus seems very impressive but eventually they don't produce high quality graduates pun unlike Germany.. having learn't all this facts, no wonder many prefers to work abroad.. not to mention a very low crime rate here as compared to M'isa...***sigh***

Deutsch class!

Have had 4 Deutsch classes so far, and lots of homework.. i dun know it's either learning language is fun or the class itself... i have so much fun and enjoy the class so much that for the 1st time in my life i wish i dun have to miss this class though i know there will be days when i have to skip it since it might coincides with my hubby's group meeting. mingling with this youngsters make me feel young again :) most importantly, i have the chance to practice and improve my english particularly in conversing. so i have one friend from America and one from Mexico which obviously they speak fluent english. and the rest are from variety of countries and they don't speak fluent english and some of them don't even speak english.. but still they are very nice and friendly which enable me to learn some of their languages so we can communicate.. i really hope i can master Deutsch during this 4 years stay in Germany.. wow.. things just get better and better... alhamdulillah...

baby swimming

Fatini gets all shaky as she scrutinizes this video.. hahaha, die kesian kat baby... "nape baby tuh kena wat camtu??..." i adore afeef for his sensitiveness, and often think fatini is the stubborn one, lack of sensitivity and the "couldn't careless" type, but a few days ago i noticed her beautiful insight, she cares so much if a baby gets hurt. a few weeks ago, i showed her a video of an abandoned babies, and she got all upset and distracted.. she kept saying "sian nye baby tuh, nape mama baby tu x sayang baby die??" i'm touched and of course, for a three year old girl to react like that, i found it utterly amazing..

men are from Mars, woman are from Venus...

i've been reading this book for quite sometimes now, and i realized it is a very good book. i think all married couple should have at least one copy of this book and i strongly believe it can change our marriage life at least to certain extend. like now i understand why when often all i wanted was to share my feelings, my all day tiredness with the kids, and i just wanted to talk bout it, but my hubby would always offered me a solutions.. he would always tried to think of what we should do so things would be easier for me whereas all i wanted was just for him to lend me his ear.. i didn't want a solution coz taking care of the kids is suppose to be tiring hehe.. but because of the determination to offer a solution, man fail to listen to their partner because in their world, there is no such thing as "sharing our feelings" ... men don't like to reveal how they feel as much as they don't like to shed tears. so, all men has to do is listen and all woman has to do is not pushing him to talk when he seems edgy..
