Our Faris Ashraff
Assalamualaikum,
Hello everyone -be it students, families and friends. It's been few months i didnt blog here.
My little faris - he's now 1 year 1 month old. To describe Faris at this age, he is now able to munch a lot , munching words as well as food. Yes it is, he is now like could not stand if he sees us chewing or eating without him to have it too.
Poor faris just have to tell you it isnt everything you can munch baby.
We celebrated his birthday party @ A&W PJ. Dreamt to have it for myself, but at least by piggybacking faris' could give me the feel of having it even it wasnt mine. We invited closest relatives nearby, not to forget faris' counterpart a.k.a. batchmate lil Harris & family. It took one and half of the time to celebrate faris' inaugural there, thank you so much to everyone for the nice, lavish toygifts. Just couldnt believe Papafaris also got a mystical misterious gift too - a casual long-sleeve shirt. Too good not to accept it coz this is the kind papa has been looking for; striping-striking coloured office wear. We are still unable to trace who was the sender.OoOOo..
We will be off to Beijing this Sunday, being first timers of three of us going to Great Wall and other places.

I'm now eight!
ate eight at the eat, now im 8!
Sharing birthday wif Auntie Nana, yesterday was our day.Alhamdulillah syukur to Allah who has given us good health at this age.We are still in the raya mood, where Faris is now busy collecting his duit raya for the first time in history. The most enjoyful persons are of course us, his parents. We know collecting for ourselves is fun, but you'll find it more when you collect it for your child. I'm now experiencing it, and its really cool.
The money collected will then be saved in Faris's Unit Trust Account, as we initiated for him one for his future use. You guys shall do the same, as this will surely complementing your existing bank account and for those who are working, your epf.

Crawling & Crying Faris
Lame x blog ni..
Faris is now coming to his 6 months old...his crawling now has reached one step higher; crawling with an unintention cry...huuhuhu...at first we didnt catch what does he mean by that sound, but now we know how to differentiate between a cry for feeding and cry for pampering.
eheheh biasala anak papa sorang ni..now he started to recognise who's around..esp his mom...sometimes bile org laen dukung and suddenly mama die lalu..die nak mama die...papa die pon dah x laku dah mase tu eheheh...that's a wonderful color of him..love him so much...
He started to eat solid food 2 weeks prior his 6th month birthday. We could see he ate his first solid food as if he's been eating eat before. No slack, except some usual baby's clumsy spills...well, if everything goes well, we'll feed him in a larger amount time to time as not to frustrate his digestive system esp in this early introductory stage..
As for now..lets go dumex boy..!!

Pulangan Simpanan & Pelaburan
Berikut adalah merupakan purata pulangan semasa untuk akaun simpanan (saving account) dan pelaburan :
Bank biasa, faedah(riba) : 1%
Al-Mudharabah : 3%
KWSP : 4-5%
Tabung Haji : 3-4%
ASB : 7-8%
Koperasi Bank Rakyat : 15%
Unit amanah : 12% ke atas & bergantung kepada harga pasaran semasa
Saham BSKL : Bergantung kepada harga pasaran semasa
Untuk pelaburan, sekali lagi perlu diingatkan, walaupun kadar pulangan boleh dijangka. Namun, ia tidak memberi sebarang jaminan bahawa nilai pulangan yang diperolehi pada tahun berikutnya adalah sama, atau lebih tinggi atau pun lebih rendah berbanding dari tahun sebelumnya. Ianya bergantung kepada harga pasaran semasa.
Sebagai seorang pelabur seseorang itu harus menyedari sepenuhnya mengenai risiko yang terbabit. Seperti di dalam unit amanah, terdapat beberapa dana-dana yang ditawarkan. Pelabur harus bijak memilih dana-dana mengikut kesesuaian,objektif pelaburan dan profil risiko. Ini kerana setiap dana-dana tadi mempunyai risiko yang tersendiri seperti berisiko sederhana (moderate risk) atau pun berisiko tinggi (high risk).
Carta di atas (*sumber daripada Personal Money 2002) menunjukkan risiko dan anggaran pulangan pelaburan (Return Of Investment - ROI). Ini termasuklah simpanan tetap (fixed deposit), insurans, bon-bon, pelaburan hartanah, dan syir (share). Pelabur boleh mempelbagaikan pelaburan mereka seperti bon, hartanah dan syir untuk meluaskan lagi perolehan tetapi semakin tinggi pulangan yang diingini oleh seseorang pelabur maka semakin tinggi jugalah risiko yang perlu ditanggung.
Seseorang pelabur hendaklah mempunyai pengetahuan yang cukup di dalam bidang pelaburan dan mengetahui risiko yang bakal dihadapi.

Understanding Unit Trust (v2)
Masih ramai x tau kewujudan unit amanah (unit trust) ni kat Msia, selain ASB dan produk2 lain dlm PNB. Tahukah anda bahawa anda juga bole membeli/melabur unit amanah di company2 commercial yang lain, dan ada antara mereka yg menawarkan pulangkan sehingga 7-8 fold drp apa yg anda dpt dalam ASB.
Theoritically, ini adalah beberapa benefits am (including ASB) investing in unit trust:
Affordability
Unit trusts are very affordable. Investors can start with an investment amount as low as RM100.
Diversification
Rather than concentrating an investment portfolio of one or two investments or shares, a portfolio of market securities can be held. The wider the spread of investments, the less volatile (i.e. variable) the investment returns will be. In simple terms, investment into unit trusts means diversification of risk: "not putting all your eggs in one basket."
Liquidity
Most investors prefer that their investment to be liquid. That is, they can easily buy and sell withour difficulties. Unit trusts provide this benefit, easily bought and sold. An excellent return that cannot be "cashed-in" (i.e. sold) does not necessarily mean a good investment as poor liquidity constitutes an additional risk factor for the investor.
Professional Fund Management
The people managing unit trusts are approved professionals. Their training and background ensures that decision making is structured and according to sound investment principles. In the process, unit trust funds enjoy the depth of knowledge and experience that fund manager can bring. In the long term, it is this expertise that should generate above average investment returns for unit trust investors.

Papa nk share kelebihan melabur dalam unit trust, sekadar informasi utk dikongsi bersama....
What are Unit Trusts ?
Unit Trusts are a form of collective investment that allows investors with similar investment objectives to pool their funds to be invested in a portfolio of securities or other assets.
A professional fund manager then invests the pooled funds in a portfolio which may include the asset classes listed below:
Cash
Bonds & Deposits
Shares
Property
Commodities
Unit holders do not purchase the securities in the portfolio directly. Ownership of the fund is divided into units of entitlement. As the fund increases or decreases in value, the value of each unit increases or decreases accordingly.The number of units held depends on the unit purchase price at the time of investment and the amount of money invested.
The return on investment of unit holders is usually in the form of income distribution and capital appreciation, derived from the pool of assets supporting the unit trust fund. Each unit earns an equal return, determined by the level of distribution and/or capital appreciation in any one period.
Unit trust investors are typically those with savings to invest, who neither have the time nor the inclination to hold portfolios of direct investments or shares. Rather, they prefer to invest in a secure, reputable investment vehicle which suits their purposes. Unit trusts allow investors to have easy access to a wide range of investment exposures not normally available to them.
As investors seek to maximise returns on their financial resources, unit trusts provide an ideal way for them to gain exposure to investments that, in the long run, should produce returns superior to cash savings and fixed deposit investments.
The cost of these potentially higher returns is of course the risk that accompanies the investment. In the short run, the certainty of investment returns of most unit trust products is less than those offered by fixed deposits. However, in the medium to long term (i.e. 3-20 years), unit trust investments generally provide superior returns at acceptable levels of risk.

smalam was a night to remember...we watched faris learn to crawl for the first time.This was another milestone for him, as he turned 3 months last week.The camera of course been my first thing to grab, capturing his first moment crawling, apart of his discoveries. While mama watching him with extra caution, he managed at least to turn his body out of his baby comforter.
heyyo...wanna watch me merangkak?
yeah yeah...sket lg sket lg..yeah...

Invigilator - things you have been doing - aktiviti seorang penjaga exam
Mase paling sesuai utk berangan adalah sewaktu menjaga exam (invigilator). Dalam masa sama menjaga exam adalah waktu paling membosankan, esp jaga exam 3 jam (paper subject mane la tu huh...)...Banyak perkara yg sebenarnya boleh dibuat.....:.....:)....
1.Menunggu siapa student yg mintak off aircond dulu...
- request sebegini mmg xkan dilayan kalo exam kat MPH
- student ni sejuk maybe seram sejuk tgk soklan nightmare
- belum bersedia utk dihantar ke luar negara yang semestinya "aircond" tokleh diswitch offkan
2.Mengira nisbah pelajar lelaki and pelajar pompuan, pastu tgk nama lecturer subject tu
- kalo pompuan ramai, maknenye lecturer tu mesti laki
3.Mengimbau masa sendiri amik xm dulu
- agaknye muke berkerut/blur aku dulu diperhatikan jelas oleh invig..patutle diorg senyum2 je
dulu..siot je..
4.Berjalan mengelilingi meja semua student sambil buat muka strict
- sure diorang tension ahahaha...
5.Menjenguk jam bbrape kali (selang 5 min)
- bukan student je yg tgk jam tgk mase tinggal bape, kitorang pon, sbb 2 jam bagiku bg dua hari
lamanye owhh...lom 3 jam lg..
- kalo ade stopwatch, leh set, pastu leh nampak jam tu mcm laju je bjalan, padahal same
je..saikologi beb
- memastikan jam dinding tu x mati, so xyah kitorang tunggu lebih lama dr yg spatutnye..owh
tidak..!!
6.Membaca kertas soklan student and pastu test power buat (engine paper haram satu ape x
paham..)
7.Paling best, tgk gelagat student mcm2 style
- senyum sorang sambil ckp YES (budget soklan tips masuk bulat2)
- mecarut tetiba - (tatau mencarut kegembiraan sbb soklan senang or sebaliknya), serius gue
pon terkejut...slambe die je..
- menggaru kepala yg x gatal <---ni stendet kat mane2 exam pon ade nih..
- yang ayu ilang keayuan kejap bile buat muke stress, bengang dsb...
8.Mengira brape org tangn kiri (left-handed) mcm aku, pastu tgk die ensem/lawa ke x, kalo ye,
mulala bangga syok sendiri yg pastinya menghilangkan ngantuk..
9.Tgk student yg amik paper non-calculation tp bwk calculator
- tatau maybe nak congak agak2 brape yg perlu score utk pass/dpt A
10.Membuat andaian pelajar2 yang berkerut nih maybe menyesal sbb tak amik MC pagi td utk
amek supp sbb final susah gile (supp lg susah ooiii)
11.Tau nama student2 cun/comel melalui attendance sheet & no meja diorang (hanya bagi chief invig saje ok)
12.Usha invigilator lain ape lak dieorg buat, adekah mcm aku or lg kreatif dieorg nih...ahahahah
13.Makan gula2 exam unit kasik, air mineral simpan buat stok kat ofis

Exam Week
Salam Semua,
Papa smp awal kt ofis arini, ade kene jadi standby invigilator.Pagi td kol 5 faris dah bangun crying for feeding.Hero papa ni mmg kuat minum, bagusla cepat besar , almost evry 2-3 jam die akan bangun n nak minum...x byk ragam Alhamdulillah..nangis pon sbb nak minum, or pampers dah penuh je.Yang lain tu kekadang die nak manje2...biase la tu...
Perkembangan Faris....selain badan yang semakin sihat...(aritu check dah 5kg...)..Faris dh pnd senyum bile diagah...and x agah pon slalu gak senyum syok sendiri...eheheh..and we realized skarang ni die dah pandai nakkan perhatian drp parents die...lepas je die minum susu..or maybe waktu die tak ngantuk..die tak bole kalo xde org kat sebelah die...die akan melalak...so bile kite gi kat die, die akan diam and siap senyum2 lg..kesudahannya...x sempat nak buat keje2 lain ehehehh..papepon weekend la waktu yg paling best for both of us sbb mase ni la nak spend masa ngan Faris...
Kalo weekdays, rutin kami keluar subuh balik maghrib...amik Faris pon dah nak Isyak...tup tap dah masuk hari baru..so rase mcm kejap je nak main ngan Faris...tp benda2 mcm ni bile diharungi tanpa disedari...dpt rasekan cepat je Faris membesar...satgi dah bole pandai meniarap..dah bole pandai jalan...dsb...
x sabar nak bwk die maen playground depan umah....

Looong Hollls
lama jugak cuti kali nih..papa n mama faris pon full swing jugak..siap papa amik extra lagi nakservis kete la apela.t.sume ni psl sume org cuti lama sgt..nak gi bank, servis kete, ape ape yg konfem kene beratur panjang kalo ari biase, akan bertambah2 pjgla esp arini ni kamis.Owh..papafaris skang ni bersiaran live from Proton Edar (pusat servis la apalg), while waiting for my car to be serviced, papa try2 la connect kat available wireless, papp connect skali terdapat lak...kalo canih tunggu kete siap ptg pon papa xdehal..internet ade...x la sunyi...
fUHH.Wht a very long intro la papa.Ok2, we are now back, after the long hols..to narrate wht how did we spend our hols, nothing was so interesting, but at least we got some important milestone dates to put in history...
1. At least for three (3) consecutive days, faris, mama n I went for window shopping at at least three diff shopping avenues - thanks for the patrons of Subang Parade (day 1), The Curve & Ikano (day 2) and IKEA (day 3), for your kind support (i mean to give ways when papa was in his enjoyable mood pushing faris' brand new stroller.
talking about the stroller, there was another diff story. When we were cruising on our national brand car heading towards our day 2's venues, we heard a sudden "bang" coming from the rear of the car. After 50-50 suspecting the bang came from the car's broken tyre(s), me at a glance thinking of faris' made-in- Aus stroller (papa bought it when i was studying few years back), getting suspicious about what went wrong. And my gut feeling was correct, when i anguishly saw 2 out of three wheels were wildly burst.
But that wasnt the end of our even-havent-started journey. We caught our own attention browsing thru several alternatives how possible to carry faris away without arm-holding (nak dukung bole, tp faris dh berat, pengsan papa la nnt).We called our relatives who'd been to the Curve, asking the availability of stroller service as what we've experienced in Alamanda (so far i believe there is the one and only shopping complex to offer such service). After none such service was found, we started to dream if could we can have a brand new. Still remembering Mak Pah's (mamafaris' auntie) offer to buy one for Faris, so we thought of asking her first if the offer is still valid eheheheh...(ofkos la valid, it was just because this thing happened and we were desperately looking for replacement).
In short, we managed to buy another new stroller for Faris, and this time the brand is Bebe Confort Loola.Sounds great, and u'll find it even greater when u knoe the price.Thanks to Mak Pah and Uncle Munir, who have sponsored this lavish stroller for Faris.Got a big hikmah actually when the tyres burst where Faris quickly got his replacement.Poor but at the same time lucky baby boy!Alhamdulillah...rezeki anak...
