Mysuperkids iPad Contest : Final Challenge

to my fellow iPad seekers from mysuperkids dot net - the final challenge of the iPad contest is OUT! (like a week ago haha) thank you so much anis for informing me about this, or else i'd definitely lose out!

there are FOUR challenges this time around - yeap, organizer mommy lina decided to bombard our creativity with four challenges at one go! this is IT! however these challenges can be completed in random order, and done at any time before the due date on 31st december 2011.

challenge #3 : natural, or semulajadi
challenge #4 : health, or kesihatan
challenge #5 : clothing, or pakaian
challenge #6 : internet


click here for full list.

winner of this challenge will finally receive the grand prize - iPad - and the rest of us hopefully will get some other awesome tidbits. hihi.

to me, the greatest challenge would be trying to be as creative as possible, as the topic for each challenge is so broad. it's only ONE word, and could be interpreted in many ways, from all sorts of angle.

at this point, i not only wish the contestants GOOD LUCK, but i also wish the same to mommy lina in picking out the ultimate winner in the end! 4 challenges each from so many bloggers - that's gotta be tough just trying to read 'em all!

GOOD LUCK!

Duit & Ramadhan ~ Dulu & Sekarang : Cabaran #2 Contest iPad Mysuperkids

pegang aku kuat-kuat ya. mari kita merentas masa…


* * *



anak-anak sa-karang, kalau udah dapat ber-puasa penoh, apa upah-nya? RM30? RM300? dapat x-box?

da-hulu tidak adha istilah upah duet kalau bisa ber-puasa penoh. bapak men-didek anak-anak ber-puasa bila tiba bulan ramadhan karena ia tuntut-an ugama. dan hanya orang yang ber-puasa bisa dudok me-nikmati hidang-an yang lebeh istimewa. yang tak ber-puasa hendak-lah tunggu atau makan ber-sendiri-an. sa-masa ramadhan da-hulu kala, duet bukan-lah ukur-an. yang anak-anak mahu-kan ia-lah ber-buka ramai-ramai se-keluarga. ini baru-lah meriah, di-samping men-jalani ibadah ber-puasa!


* * *


ka-pada yang ber-duet, perlu-lah keluar-kan zakat pada bulan ramadhan.

sa-karang ini kounter zakat fitrah adha di-mana-mana. jabatan ugama sedia mem-pungut zakat. da-hulu, bayar terus sa-haja pada orang miskin di-kampong. adha yang sendiri men-cari ibu-ibu tunggal atau orang tua yang tingal ber-sandiri-an untuk terima zakat.

adha juga orang-orang miskin yang ke-masjid-masjid dengan karung, me-nanti orang mem-bayar zakat. dapat-lah sa-gantang beras sa-orang. dapat-lah mereka masak untok ber-buka, atau di-jual untok dapat-kan duet lebeh.

sudah-kah kamu mem-bayar zakat?


* * *



es batu memang laku sa-masa bulan ramadhan. bila ber-buka tiada air es batu, macam tidak lengkap! da-hulu, dengan duet 30 sen udah dapat membeli se-bantal es batu dari kilang es. sa-karang ini, kalau mahu mem-beli es batu, kena bayar dalam RM3! itu-pon baharu dapat sa-peket sahaja!

sa-karang ini, beli es batu dari kedhai, terus sahaja padu motokar cephat sampai ka-rumah. da-hulu, es ketol di-balot dengan sarbuk kayu untok tahan lama. bawa balik pula dengan basikal, atau ber-jalan kaki sa-haja. kalau cuaca panas, es batu pun cayer apa-bila sampai ka-rumah. mula-lah ibu mem-bebel karena rugi-lah 30 sen tu!

sa-karang ini, nampak duet 30 sen ber-tabur-an pon pandang sa-belah mata…


* * *


ber-buka apa hari ini? tak sempat masak, beli sa-haja di pasar ramadhan.

da-hulu, tiada pasar ramadhan sa-perti yang adha pada dzaman ini. duet tidak di-bazer-kan mem-beli meng-ikot napsu di-pasar ramadhan. da-hulu kalau mahu rasa kueh ber-macam jenis, hanya tukar juadah kueh atau lauk se-sama jiran te-tangga. jimat duet, dapat me-rasa kueh yang laen, dan dapat pula meng-erat silaturahim.

kalau ber-buka di-masjed pon seronok karena dapat me-rasa ber-bagai macham juadah yang di-bawa oleh makmum lain. juadah ber-buka ka-biasa-an-nya ia-lah ubi kayu ber-sama kelapa parut di-campor gula. enak!

sa-karang ini mewah sunggoh ber-buka di hotel dan restoran tambah-an pula yang hidang-an buffet ber-harga tak kurang dari RM50!


* * *



bagai-mana per-siap-an hari raya pula? juga perlu uwang. juga perlu duet! sa-karang semua-nya perlu se-dondon. satu warna. sampin pon perlu di-tukar saban tahun karena meng-ikut warna baju pada tahun itu.

da-hulu pernah sa-kali, beli per-siap-an hari raya ber-sama dengan per-siap-an buka sakolah. hari raya pakai sa-haja kasut sakolah yang baharu di-beli. masa itu jenama yang paling hebat tentunya se-pasang 'badminton master dari bata. harga-nya baharu 3.90 sen! sakarang ini anak-anak muda ber-gaya dengan kasut nike yang harga-nya tidak kurang dari RM350 sepasang! ber-tuah sunggoh!


* * *


semua gambar ni aku google. mana yang dapat, aku kredit-kan kembali pada si-pemilik. sila khabar-kan ke-pada aku kalau adha gambar kamu yang aku guna tanpa kredit.

dalam bulan ramadhan yang mulia ini, jimat-lah duet di-mana yang bolih. itu pon sudah satu ibadah. hargai duet dan usah renti panjat-kan syukur dengan rejeki yang Allah beri-kan!

selamat ber-puasa!

Kelahiran : Cabaran #1 Contest iPad Mysuperkids

kelahiran. satu perkataan, seribu pengertian.

haleef, kahfi & kazim adalah putera-putera aku berumur 5+, 2+ and 1+. khaleef anak pertama, menjadikan aku mak kelam kabut yang baru nak belajar menyusu anak. hihi. kahfi anak kedua, dilahirkan tanpa suami aku dalam bilik bersalin. sob sob. kazim anak ke3 aku pulak lahirnya mudah sungguh – labor pain cuma dalam 3-4 jam. kelahiran mereka semuanya mencatit kisah-kisah suka duka yang aku simpan untuk diceritakan pada hari mereka pula menyambut anak sendiri, insyaAllah.

ntah kenapa menjelang tahun baru 2000, aku terus nekad memakai tudung sepenuhnya, dan sepanjang masa. bukan sebab mak abah aku bising. bukan sebab ikut member. bukan sebab undang-undang kolej. tiba-tiba terbukak hati. itu aku kira merupakan kelahiran baru aku sebagai insan bernama muslimah. doakan aku terus diberi hidayah. kisah tudung korang macamana pulak?

ama dah aku idamkan nak melahirkan buku sendiri. ntah apa yang aku nak tulis. mungkin pasal kisah-kisah aku, suami dan anak-anak di dubai. mungkin aku nak abadikan puisi-puisi yang aku tulis selama ni. mungkin jugak aku nak tulis novel fantasi macam cerita magika KRU tu. dari zaman sekolah lagi aku dah berangan nak tulis novel. ntah dapat tak aku realisasikan kelahiran tu?

ku memang sangat teruja bila tiba bulan jun. pasal aku lahir 24 jun! setakat yg aku ingat, kami sekeluarga tak sambut besar-besaran. cukup beli sebijik kek dan makan sesama adik-beradik. selalunya masa hari lahir adik beradik aku, aku tukang beli kek. jadi masa hari lahir aku pun, aku jugak la kena beli kek sendiri. haha. bila dah kawin ni pun takde surprise-surprise dari suami. memang aku yang google-google pilih tempat best nak makan, dan hadiah kalau aku nak pun, aku akan request sendiri hihi. dah biasa!

arus kita ingat, ade kelahiran, ade kematian. lumrah kehidupan yang sudah tercatit. circle of life. mak aku meninggal dunia sejurus sebelum kita melangkah ke tahun baru 2004. perginya mengejut, kenangan pilu yang tak bisa dilupakan. kami 5 beradik perempuan mesti tabah dan mesti kuat sama-sama. hikmah paling besar tragedi ini ialah menjadikan kami lebih rapat dengan abah. al-Fatihah untuk allahyarhamah noriza mohd. anuar.

ibarat badan aku terpotong dua. ibarat perut aku dikerat, kemudian kaki pulak ditarik-tarik. ibarat ada tangan rodok ke dalam perut dan menarik-narik isi. begitulah perit sakitnya saat melahirkan anak. dahi berpeluh, tangan terketar, lutut menggigil. mulut kumat kamit baca apa yang patut. suami genggam tangan pun dah tak rasa apa. memang mak-mak bersabung nyawa bila melahirkan. tapi dengan kuasa Allah, hilang terus sakit terlampau ni saat menatap wajah anak yg baru lahir ni. hebat kan? Allahuakbar!

asa rugi kalau aku lalui pengalaman di rantau orang ni tapi tak kongsi dengan sape-sape. jadi, lahirnya blog ni sebab aku nak cerita kat korang pasal kehidupan aku di dubai. pada tahun 2008, aku ikut suami yg bekerja kat sini, dan sejak tu bermulalah cerita-cerita potpet aku tentang benda-benda menarik di dubai, makan-makan best di dubai dan cerita aku, suami & anak-anak. silalah baca ye hihi.

ku sebenarnya tak percaya sangat pada ‘rahsia bulan kelahiran’ atau ‘warna dan personaliti mengikut tarikh kelahiran’ ke – tapi menurut dr. fadzilah kamsah, budak-budak june ni ‘berperangai lemah lembut’ yang buat aku nak gelak, sebab aku ni la yang paling tak feminin berbanding 4 sisters aku yang lain. tapi ade jugak disenaraikan ‘suka buat lawak’ – memang pun! tapi tu lah, terlalu banyak personaliti dan sikap-sikap yang disenaraikan sampai menjadi terlalu umum. ape-ape hal kalau korang nak baca, klik je sini untuk senarai penuh. just for fun, tengok lah mane yang kena dengan korang!

  ak menang ipad. nak menang ipad. nak menang ipad! okay lah. aku secara jujur mengaku yang aku bukannya tau apa-apa pasal ipad ni. betul! (mesti adik bongsu aku yang sifu IT tu geleng-geleng kepala hoho) yang aku tau, ipad ni best. ape yang bestnya nanti aku godek-godek la bila dah dapat (ewah!) jadi kasi kat aku je lah ipad tu supaya aku boleh jadi budak baru belajar. nanti lahirlah seorang syigim yang celik IT pulak!

Mysuperkids iPad Contest : Grouping & Challenge

to those of you who did not even know about this contest, there’s no time to explain. for those who did participate in this contest a few months back, i’m asking you whether you knew about being grouped together with 9-10 other contestants in A – J groupings to complete a challenge?

i didn’t know until one of my teammates lissa left a comment in my latest posting. thanks girl! *high 5*

it seems that :

  1. i’m in group A – you can check out which group you’re in by clicking this link ‘semak nama anda
  2. there are 10 juries assigned for each team – my team, group A’s jury is alyrds a.k.a ally ardee simin. to check the jury for your team, click here.
  3. the first challenge is titled, ‘kelahiran’ which is a very fluid word – not just confined to giving birth, or being born. creativity is key. for information and rules on the challenge, click here.
  4. i’m guessing this would be the first of many, many challenges since there are so many contestants; and ms lina wanna pick a winner ala survivor or AF – where contestants are voted out in a team, in pairs, or individually.
  5. also, you may need to inform and remind your teammates of this challenge since there is a possibility that if one teammate didn’t submit an entry, the whole team might be eliminated!
  6. leave your permalink here for jury ‘inspection’!
  7. your entries are due 8th july!

i really didn’t know about all this, and ms. lina concurs when she wrote this posting to wonder why out of hundreds of participants, only four have sent in their entries? well, we had no idea!

anyways, i’m just doing my part as a fellow blogger in this big ol world wide web to inform participants of this first challenge, because i wished someone had told me sooner! i’m weaving words in my head already.

kelahiran.

hmm.

good luck to you people!

Saya Mahu Jadi Pujangga Dari Blog Ini Fynn Jamal Cakap

mommy lyna dari MySuperKids nak kasi iPad? iPad!!!

caranya bukanlah mudah. ye, susah! betul susah! hihi. kena tulis artikel, dan pastikan artikel itu menarik minat juri. tulis artikel berkenaan apa? hanya bertajukkan ‘saya mahu… dari blog…!’

* * *

saya?

saya sangat suka menulis. saya sangat suka berpuitis. saya sangat suka dengan bahasa, dalam apa jua gaya. menulis bukan hanya untuk orang baca, tapi untuk orang rasa. untuk orang terpana. untuk orang teruja.

saya mahu jadi pujangga dari blog ‘ini fynn jamal cakap’.!

fynn jamal. kenal nama ni? aduh. kalau tak kenal, sila singgah ke lamannya; ‘puisi tepi jalan’, dan lihat sendiri cara dia bermain kata. kalaulah saya bisa jadi pujangga seperti dia!

dia bukan tulis puisi semata. dia bukan berpantun sahaja. bukan pula bersajak belaka. tapi apa saja yang ditulisnya, pasti enak dibaca dek kerana pandainya menyimpul ayat penuh erti, penuh jiwa!

perihal abah yang sayangnya ya amat. alkisah cinta agung dia dan suami. tentang hidup muzikalnya. apa saja yang terlihat depan mata, dan ape yang terlintas di minda pujangganya!

 

ayatnya ringkas tapi dalam berkias,

gaya bahasanya kadang kasar tapi ada benar,

susun katanya kadang dalam marah tapi tetap bermadah,

paling suka ayat cinta pada suaminya yang berima sungguh indah.

 

betapa saya mahukan kreativitinya.

betapa saya mahukan gaya bahasanya.

betapa saya mahukan semangatnya.

 

semua orang boleh menulis, tapi tidak semua boleh menyentuh jiwa sebagaimana tulisan tulus fynn jamal.

semua orang boleh membuat luahan perasaan melalui blog, tapi tidak semua boleh mengocak perasaan pembaca supaya turut serta bersuka, murka atau berduka.

semua orang boleh cuba berpantun bermadah, tapi tidak semua boleh menjadi pujangga seperti fynn jamal.

 

jadi, saya mahu jadi pujangga dari blog ‘ini fynn jamal cakap’!

* * *

nah, bisa berikan saja saya iPad itu, mommy lyna? *kenyit kenyit*

* * *

Artikel ini ditulis sebab saya mengidam iPad percuma MySuperKids. Sertai Bengkel Adsense di laman web buat duit online & mulakan gaya hidup sihat dengan vitamin semulajadi ShakleeTrialPack

Children's Book Giveaway by Little Red Reading Nook

in the blogging world, there's a term called 'giveaway'.

now, being new at blogging, at first i have no idea what this is. ade je mak-mak blogger put up blog posts like 'giveaway from mimi CD store', or 'mommy_yaya breastfeeding giveaway', or 'ema's best raya pictures giveaway'.

these are mostly online stores or businesses, or even a few mommies 'giving away' mommy-friendly items like breast pump, facial cream, cloth diapers, or children's books in return for winning a contest they set up, just by 'following' their blog, or simply completing a few simple tasks.

i was never really interested in these 'giveaways' until 'little red reading nook' set up one! 'little red reading nook' is a cute little 'bookshop' for your kiddos, selling books via online for boys and girls alike - from the 'disney princess' series to 'bob the builder' and even my childhood favorite (and still is!) 'sesame street' books - and a whole lot more titles!

this site was one of the many awesome sponsors for the 'cutest baby on the planet' contest by mombloggersplanet, and kahfi won a hamper of books, which include few books of his favorite character - thomas the train!

and now, the possibility of getting more freebies books for my boys - just by a few clicks? BOOKS? free books? heck, count me in! i have a whole bookshelves filled with my terry pratchett, stephen king and jeffrey archer books, it's time the boys take a few sides of the shelves for their collection!


the 'giveaway' ends tomorrow so it's today or never! to know more about the 'giveaway', click here! to be part of it is so simple!

  • follow 'little red reading nook' - the blog or facebook
  • add its link in your blog
  • add its logo on your blog's sidebar
  • place the 'giveaway' banner above in your entry
  • include the link to this 'give-away', and leave your entry permalink in that page

all done! i hope i get more books for the boys!

on a totally different note, an old school-mate of mine gave birth to twin boys few months ago. they were born small, barely 2kg and had been kept under tight supervision at the hosp until today because of their weak hearts.

i cry everytime i read her facebook status - she always kept her friends abreast with the twins' progress, or lack of - weight gain or loss, eye operation on one of the babies, and so on. below is her latest facebook status update :

mata khabir semakin critical...aku redha apa yg bakal tejadi...semoga anak mama tabah....khayr dah ok n mgkn blh blk..khabir tepaksa tinggal..tp sampai bl? ya allah kuatkan iman & ksabaranku...aminn...

friends, please extend your doa for this mom and her twins, may she continue to have the strength and patience for the coming days...

in the meantime we must take a good long look at our children and thank Allah for his blessings!

Got My Photobook!

remember the 'cutest baby in red' contest by the cool lepak mom site, mombloggersplanet in which kahfi won 2nd place? well, if you didn't know or can't remember, click here to refresh your memory!

it's a monthly contest with different theme each month, offering a real awesome prize from photobook, where we can download a software from its official site, upload the memorable pictures we want to include in the book, design our own book-cover and the layout of the pictures, save, send to photobook - and they will do the rest!


my in-laws are here for cuti-cuti dubai, and my abah and umi asked them to pass me a parcel - quite big, boxy, light but very intriguing. ape dalam ni?


i ravaged through the plastic cover and saw a cardboard box the size of a fat photo album, protected with bubble wrap.

and then i saw the logo. photobook. OMG my photobook is here!


my heart skipped a beat. i was so excited. i knew this was the photobook that kahfi had won for us for looking so cute in red!


i opened the box, and saw the book - not as thick as i expected but i was too engrossed looking at our picture on a sleek, glossy cover, along with our names subtly bolded across the front cover. lawa jugak ye aku design cover! haha! simple yet satisfying!

seronoknye tak terhingga. asyik la dok belek-belek tak jemu-jemu hihi

i counted.

i managed to squeeze over 500 pictures of the four of us - from the boypren-gopren dating period (which was not too long, barely a year - so tak banyak gamba!) engagement and wedding photos, khaleef, khaleef and khaleef; and the book ended with our adventures in dubai especially with the birth of kahfi.

it's like the most beautiful photobook there ever was! forgive me, but there's a certain feeling of flying on air when you see your own personal pictures that build memories and happy family moments printed and binded in a book-form, with glossy cover, thick pages and all!

thanks so much to little mama of mombloggersplanet for organizing such contest! i now hope a bigger prize is coming my way for the 'cutest baby on the planet' contest...

*wink wink*


CUTEST BABY OF THE PLANET 2009 – FINALIST

my adorable kahfi is one of the 20 finalists for mombloggersplanet's 'cutest baby of the planet 2009' contest! he was eligible after he won 2nd place for the 'cutest baby in red' contest held last year. mem besar mombloggersplanet, little mama has set up a thrilling 'challenge' for the finalists, which also includes a series of questions that we have to answer thru the website.

thanks to kak arin for teaching me how to do a sticky post! if kahfi wins big, i owe it to you! *hugs*!

this is the FIRST CHALLENGE!

* * *

1. Create a STICKY post in your blog with title CUTEST BABY OF THE PLANET 2009 – FINALIST - done!

2. Add the banner above in your top sidebar with link to this page - check!

3. Put ONE recent photo of your baby on top of the post - okeh!


Kahfi Bin Khairul
23rd December 2008


4. Mention his/her full name and date of birth below the photo - got it!

5. In your blog post, answer the following questions - alrighty!

What is the meaning of your baby’s name?
'Kahfi' literally means 'cave', inspired from the 18th surah (chapter) of the Holy Quran, surah al-Kahf, which is heavily laden with beneficial properties in its recitation.

I'm definitely not an expert to discuss heavily on the Quran and its content but I found out that basically the surah can be divided into about seven sections and contains four main stories which are all interesting and full of essential lessons of life and the divine power of Allah.

One of the stories is about the sleepers in the cave, thus the name of the surah, Al-Kahf. Click here to read my posting on the benefits of the surah. His name is short and simple but with the beautiful meaning behind it hopefully will bring a long-lasting impression on Kahfi, reflecting in his character, morals and manners!

What is ONE of the most memorable moment about your baby since she/he was born until now?
He just turned one last 23rd December, and has successfully mastered the mechanism of his feet! A confident walker, despite tumbling down once or twice!

He still can't say a definite 'Mak' or 'Bapak', and of course can't ask him to go to kedai runcit and buy kicap - so since 'walking' is his greatest achievement thus far, I would say that ONE of the most memorable moments about Kahfi since he was born until now is witnessing his first little step.

Imagine - of all the billions of steps a human being takes for the rest of his/her lives, here's the first ever step from my little human being. It's a really historical moment in his lifetime!

I remember that day - as usual a comforter was laid down on the carpet for Kahfi to golek-golek and move around. I remember being in tears (drama queen haha) when I saw him stood up, without holding on to a sofa or the coffee table, and took 3 small steps, before tumbling down on his little tushie. His smile of content and sense of achievement told me that he too, knew that he had done one very great thing in his life!

That was really one memorable moment about Kahfi since he was born!

6. In your blog post, write a short positive TESTIMONIAL about MomBloggersPlanet - sure thing!

With nearly 800 followers (and growing fast!), MomBloggersPlanet is certainly one of the most popular platforms for voices of moms who are bloggers, a great resource on motherhood, blogging tips and tools, and much more. Not to mention the many contests you can enter with very attractive prizes! (In fact, that's what caught my attention at first!).

I love the simple layout - it's not too girly (eventhough it's for moms!) with too many frills, making it a cool site to browse. The bits and links are organized well, with recent articles and tabs at the top for easy navigation. Very professional, yet personalized for moms!

With its growing popularity, MomBloggersPlanet also offers free listing for online sales blog/website for Malaysian moms and women; from diapers and baby slings to cupcakes and crafts - called the MarketPlace. Also, moms with personal blogs can list out their blog in the BlogDirectory, where you expand your circle of bloggirl friends! Get to know, and be known!

Oh, and let's gossip with style at MBP forum, where you exchange lots more info on motherhood and blogging, as well as get your queries answered by fellow moms! MomBloggersPlanet is also on facebook, so go join 484 others and become a fan!

With all these and many more, why are you NOT part or MomBloggersPlanet yet? Jom join!

7. In your blog post, put a link back to this page - easy pizzy!

8. Please leave your blog entry permalink at the comment section on this page - once i'm done!

* * *

MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby in Nature Contest

it's the monthly contest by mombloggers planet, and this time i'm really keen to join! the first contest was in june, 'the cutest baby in red' contest. see my entry here.

after then on, there were other interesting themes - 'cutest baby in stroller', 'cutest baby with bottle' and few more. this is a unique pict competition - without silly, complicated, bias voting system and not just another cute baby pict comp. it's cute baby pict contest with a theme!

and this month's theme is NATURE. click on the pict to learn more about the contest!


with many wonderful prizes to be won from photobook and alicewonders, i sure like to try a second time! here's my entry for this contest : cue soundtrack from aladdin, 'arabian night', please! *smile*


name : Kahfi Bin Khairul
d.o.b : 23 December 2008

in mombloggersplanet, it's stated that;

"Yes, if you have a picture of your baby outdoor – at the beach, in the park and even back in your village… you can enter this contest. The greener the environment, the better! Why nature? Because nature is good for babies!"

this picture with kahfi is certainly lacking of the green color, (i hope the judge won't mind! hihi) but why confine ourselves with only greenery as a source of nature when there's the blue sea, the red summer leaves, the grey cascade of waterfalls, the white snow, the orange sunset and, in my case - the brown desert sand!

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."
~ Aristotle (B.C. 384–322)

masing-masing menawarkan pengalaman berbeza yang berharga untuk bayi!

this picture was taken in the middle of winter in the united arab emirates where we're currently residing. the vast desert invites us to explore its rich texture of its sandstone, granite rocks, boulder, pebble and endless sand.

the desert can be very hot during the day, and extremely cold at night - so we took cautionary measures to make sure kahfi was comfy in his thick wooly rompers, complete with headgear to keep his head warm too!

* * *

dubai is a very fast moving city with honks of noises and heaps of carbon monoxide from the ever increasing traffic. they don't have tropical rainforest here, but they do have the vast desert to bring my baby kahfi;
  • to enjoy the peaceful silence of the desert
  • for babies to enjoy the calming scenery of endless sand as far as the eye can see
  • they can feel the different texture of sand in the palm of their hand, as a stimulation to the sense of touch
  • they can enjoy the sight of animals like camels and the arabian oryx, which are hardly seen in other natural environment
  • develops a deep sense of curiosity as babies are introduced to new environment away from the confines of home
  • this provides a good moment of bonding between kahfi and i, as well as with his big bro khaleef and with bapak mr. khairul as all of us golek-golek and tread the sand together

Kahfi is 2nd Cutest in Red!

a cool informative site for malaysian mommies, mombloggers planet started a monthly cutest baby contest, with different theme each month. it will run until end of the year where the 1st and 2nd prize winners 'fight' for the title 'cutest baby on the planet'! for june it's Cutest Baby in RED!

and kahfi won 2nd prize! check out the announcement of winners and what we won here!

kahfi's entry for cutest baby in red!

i mean, of course kahfi is super-cute like me (betul lah! hihi) but the rest of the 129 contestants are mighty adorable too! memang banyak sangat yang cute. i especially like cheeky adam zuhair, sweet adam arsyad, handsome mikhail rifki, macho muhammad, and the charming zharif adlan! jom kita buat boy band lah! hihi.

if you wanna see the other super cute babies in red, click here!

it's cool that kahfi is second to miss anis 'manis' mardihah, because funnily enough, she's one picture that captured my attention during the run of the contest. i'm sure all mommies who entered their babies checked out their babies' competition, aight? so i did the same, clicking away at other blog entries.

i checked out jiji's blog (anis's mom) and i left a comment telling her how creative her shots were. (she surrounds her baby's face with a red silky cloth, giving the impression of a tudung-clad baby) creativity wins the day!

congrats to us! *clink clink*

speaking of winning 2nd prize - when he's around 7-8 months old, we entered khaleef's photo in the cutest baby contest too - organized by bangsar shopping centre in colabo with toys r us.

and hey back then he won 2nd prize too!

we didn't know who won the first prize, because it wasn't on display even after the contest. i just got a call one day, telling me that khaleef won 2nd place and i had to collect the prizes at toys r us hq. mr. khairul went to get 'em - and it was a whole bunch of wrapped up presents - toys, lego set and a box of reading and writing activities, all courtesy of toys r us!

  • just as soon as he learns how to pull up his tummy in a crawling position, he immediately able to pull up his knees as well! high up! that's my kahfi, my ambitious little red tomato!
  • oh, and his cheeks do turn red under the hot, hot dubai sun!
