Selected Mother's day Story

2009-05-17T20:38:00.000-07:00

High school student Daniel cheers describes how his reaction to his mother's death from cancer turned from shock and stoicism to confusion and guilt.
I’d always been closest to my mum. She would help me with tricky assignment ,fashion advise, and although she never had the chance I know she would have loved to have fixed my girl troubles. Her calming influence is something I’ll sorely miss this year during my final year of high school. But my love for my mother got a bit lost in the chaos of my early teens. I knew I could depend on her for love and support, and there was a hug waiting for me every day when I got home from school, but between schoolwork and social dramas I never found the time to truly value her. I suppose this was the foundation of my fear that I didn’t care enough.

The first hint that Mum was no longer invincible came when I went with my parents to a medical centre where they did MRIs, one of the many terms which, at the point, I had only experienced on TV. Even now I feel distant from it, as through a part of me still believes that tragedy happens in everyone else’s family. I sat in the waiting room and watched Maybe Diva win her third Melbourne Cup [in 2005], and so began the semi-nomadic existence that was to be our lives for the next six months. School.waiting room, hospital rooms, intensive care unit (yuck) and finally back home to sleep. Mum and dad sat my sister and I down at the kitchen bench and told us Mum had a tumour in her hip. Words like benign and malignant were mentioned, life-changing words, although I didn’t realise that at the time. I didn’t panic; I didn’t have any reason to worry. The doctors would biopsy it and fix it and it’d be cool, just another event for Mum to get the family through.It’s been a tradition in our family to navigate Sydney in relation to cake shops. Destinations were near or on the way to patisseries. That was how our lives operated; leisurely enough that cake played a major role. By the time Mum had been sick for a few months, Sydney was instead a series of hospitals and medical centres. Cakes became less important. I won an award at presentation day the year Mum was sick. I didn’t realise she was there at the time, but I can imagine now my heroic year adviser ensuring that my parents were seated well before the rush of students, in a spot next to the door in case mum was sick. Every prize since then has brought Dad to tears and hug we share in that moment is always emotional. My school result take on a new meaning when he says she’d be proud of me. Mum was staying in hospital for a week or so while she recovered from a spinal operation, but the week became months and soon I was accustomed to having no parent at home. My younger sister and I learnt to cook and, essentially, how to look after ourselves. This was a revolutionary notion to us, a pair of heavily parented kids.When given the option, I always chose to hear the medical details of what was happening to Mum. If I knew what was happening in scientific, objective terms it was easy for me to assume that the doctors would be able to fix it. Once I’d made the unknown known it stopped being scary. In retrospect, I think that by hearing Mum’s illness described in medical terms I could distance myself from it. I could still believe on some level that it wasn’t my mother they were talking about. Once Mum started to deteriorate, she asked to be told in advance if my sister and I were coming. She’d go to great lengths to ensure that her usually pale face was made up with help from the nurses. It was her way of making sure we never saw her at her weakest. Although at the time I might not have, now I appreciate this small effort. No child should have cancer and treatments.Because of the cancer, the woman who made the family what it was – who would keep us together in any disaster, whether it was chickenpox or alien invasion – now could only wince at the bump caused by my poor wheelchair-steering or, after an apparently successful operation, lie unconscious, attached to a machine that breathed for her.Even the friendliest nurses could not remove the atmosphere of helplessness and illness that for me filled every hospital. Standing in the corridors I once witnessed a pair of nurses wheel a sheet-covered body from an adjacent room. They glanced at me guiltily and I knew that this wasn’t something they wanted me to see. To be confronted with death, at this late stage of my mum’s cancer, was a haunting experience. I couldn’t help but see the same thing happened to Mum.The day it happened I had been to visit her in hospital. She’d been getting better – I even announced to my friends that my mum would come home soon and it was all going to be OK – but over the last week everything had gone downhill rapidly. I suppose that cancer. I spend a long time at her bedside and although she was a sleep I held her hand, something I didn’t often do. At one point she woke up hand snatched her hand away. I can only guess, but I don’t think she was ready for me to start making the most of our remaining time together. Once she’d fallen asleep again I began to leave but I paused at the door and said, “I love you.” I’m so glad I did.That night, Dad came home and told us that she had died. Neither my sister nor I wanted to see her body, choosing to remember her as she was alive. The three of us violently embraced, determined never to let each other go, as though if we held on tight enough we wouldn’t lose anyone else. We spent the rest of the night in front of mindless sitcoms, sitting through episode after episode rather that deal with the alternative. Over the next week we planned the funeral and caught up on lost sleep between visits from family and friends. We didn’t have time to realise she’d never be there again.The small speech I’d prepared for her funeral must have been barely hundred words, but I can remember standing ,shaking at the pulpit for an eternity. My dad had always maintained that a speech should ‘make ‘em laugh and make ‘em cry” , a saying I was thankful for when the audience’s laughter gave me slight reprieve. But it wasn’t until after I’d sat down that I stopped shaking. I’d always turned to my mum for help with speeches, anything written. She had been, among many things, an author and had read to me since I was two weeks old. I was moving to the rhythm of Crocodile Beat before I could due, at least partially, to her. The wake was a mess of second and third cousins I had never met before and haven’t seen since. Distant family members used it as an opportunity to catch up with each other, or tell me I was a poet-a title I was more than happy to receive; any link between mum and me was something to be treasured. The Distance that had grown between my mother and I while she was sick meant that to me, she could still be lying in bed at the hospital. But after a week of people telling me how sorry they were, it began to sink in. The shock of the first weeks gradually became confusion and guilt about how I had reacted. I felt I wasn’t as upset as everyone else because I hadn’t cried. I couldn’t help but wonder why. Why did I cope with it so well? Why didn’t I need counselling like the rest of my family? Why wouldn’t I cry? I felt like I must not have valued her enough. I’ve been told numerous times that people grieve differently. But that didn’t prevent me doubting the strength of my love for my mother.It was especially confusing because, since my mum’s death, my life had become suddenly easier. There were no more takeaway dinners in front of hospital TVs or homework in waiting rooms and no Intensive Care Units, which to me were full of machines, tubes and beeps more terrifying that an invisible cancer. After six months of that hospital smell ,it was a relief to know I didn’t have to go back. And that only made me feel guilty. Within weeks I could return to a life of relative normality, but I hated to think that things could be normal without my mum, as though this was an insult to her.Just to make me feel worse, I couldn’t help but think that I had become a better person because of my time without her. I was more independent and mature, but I didn’t want to be stronger because of her death. I wanted it to make me feel terrible and weak, but the six months of her cancer had prepared me for her death. All I can do is remember that there were things she hadn’t yet taught me, wisdom she still had to impart. As I’ve grown older, the hardest part of her death has been that I never got to know her as an equal. To me she was a super here, just my mum, without fault. Had she been around for longer I would have been able to see her as a person with her own weaknesses and love her in a completely new way. Even in the last six months, despite no longer being invincible, she still wasn’t quite human. She didn’t have faults, she had cancer.

H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) in Malaysia

2009-05-17T18:05:00.000-07:00

Dear parents,
As we are aware, the swine flu crisis is already spreading across Mexico to other countries. There are few cases reported in Malaysia. Therefore we at CIC has taken a few precautions steps in order to prevent from germ and sickness at our centres. Symptoms of the strain of swine flu are similar to other types of flu and include fever, sore throat, coughing, aches, headaches and chills. Our preventive steps include: frequent hand-washing at every 30 minutes, we advice children to cover their mouth with tissue when coughing or sneezing and throw the tissue into a waste basket, keeping hands away from eyes, mouth and nose, we will also close our indoor area section by section to clean up with antiseptic . We strongly advice the parents to keep their children who are sick at home and if possible to pick up the children early from school to avoid or reduce time of group interaction in school.
Thank you for your continuous supports and cooperations.

First H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu)case in Malaysia

CIC trip to KL Bird Park

2009-05-10T20:36:00.000-07:00

On 8th May 2009, CIC had organized a trip to KL Bird Park. The Bird Park is "The World's Largest Covered Bird Park" or "The World's largest Free Flight Aviary". The Group left in five buses around 8.30am and arrived at the KL Bird Park at about 10.30am. Around 221 students participated on this trip together with 22 teachers. The park was quite well maintained, and it was not crowded. Hence, the group took a slow walk around the park checking out all types of birds. There were also a lot of monkeys in the park. The class teachers were responsible for guiding their own students into the park. The students explored more about the birds like Flamingos, Hornbills, Waterhens, Parrots, Cockatoos, Storks, Pheasants, Mynahs Pigeons, Macaws and Ducks.

CIC’s Children were very excited to see the bird show organized by the Bird Park. There were about four parrots that were performing all sorts of tasks given to them by the host - bicycle riding, rolling, flying through circles, solving simple arithmetic tasks, and so on. The show went on for about 30 minutes. Another show was about the eagle where the trainer showed how to feed the eagle. Although it was tiring, the children had enjoyed themselves, learnt something and made some new friends. Most important that the team spirit was established among them.

Mini Sports Day at CIC

2009-04-13T20:07:00.000-07:00

It was a big day for the tiny tots of Children Islamic Centre (CIC) who celebrated their Mini sports day today. This sports day had a specific theme “animal” and the children were grouped according to animals’ names. There was excitement in the air as the kids waited for the games to begin.

Games such as “spell correct”, “duck walk”, “frog jump” and “read & action” brought out the best from the kids. Following this, each class demonstrated their games skills and teamwork with their own activities. There were also some light moments when the kids stumbled and fumbled in their acts, or joyous moments for the winners, and disappointed faces for those who were a little slow in getting to the finishing line.

All agreed the sports day was celebrated with much vigour and was an occasion for them to remember.

Celebration of Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW

2009-03-18T00:27:00.000-07:00

Parents will not forget to celebrate their children’s birthday. At CIC, birthday party not only for the children, but for the Prophet SAW too. In order to instil the love of the Prophet in the children’s heart so that the children will then grow up loving this noble man and influenced by his behaviour, CIC decides celebration of his birthday should be a memorable one.

For that CIC had organized Maulidur Rasul Celebration on 10th March 2009 in all the branches. The programme started with a speech followed by Salawat reciting. CIC also organized Azan competition and Hafazan competition for the children.

In additional to that, students of CIC also performed Nasyid and made the event more joyful. The programme ended with gifts exchanging among the children and lunch. We at CIC, hope to organize this kind of programme in the future as an appreciation to our beloved prophet SAW, may Allah bless us.

[Peace be on you O Messenger of Allah Muhammad Bin Abdullah. I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that you sincerely advised and warned your followers in the way of Allah until His mission had completed. Ya Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and His Ahlul Bayt].

Interview with Radio 24

2009-01-14T22:52:00.000-08:00

Pendahuluan:

Pusat Pemkembangan Kanak-kanak CIC (singkatan daripada Children Islamic Centre) diasaskan sejak 1997. Kini ada 10 cawangan di Putrajaya, Bangi, Puchong, Kota Damansara, Setapak, Kota Bharu, Bdr Darulaman. CIC kini akan mengfrancaiskan perniagaan ini pada mrk yang berminat.

Q1. Kenapa orang suka CIC?

- Customers suka sbb CIC adalah pusat setempat utk pendidikan anak-anak. Ibubapa yang bekerja tidak perlu fikir apa yang perlu diajar pada anak dan di mana pula hendak menghantar anak untuk jagaan. Semua CIC tolong fikirkan. Kita bagi pendidikan yang menyeluruh pada kanak-kanak Islam. Ibubapa mahukan agama, kecemerlangan dalam akademik, kebolehan berbahasa Inggeris, kreatif, pandai bergaul dan yakin pada diri. Lebih lama contact hours di CIC lebih bagus pencapaian. Ibubapa yg bekerja suka menghantar anak-anak mereka untuk ikuti program sepenuh hari kita. Walaupun ada pembantu di rumah, tapi jika tempoh pembelajaran hanya 3 jam, kemudian balik rumah menonton TV seharian, tentu tidak efektif. Ada yang berpendapat boleh belajar melalui rancangan pendidikan dalam TV, tapi pada saya kemudahan teknologi tidak dapat menggantikan pendidikan secara tradisional, proses kefahaman dan pendalaman ilmu dilakukan secara normal, kanak-kanak akan pandai berinteraksi, mata pun tidak rosak akibat terdedah banyak pada TV dan komputer.

Q2. Industri ini sudah lama, kenapa puan memilih untuk melakukannya?

Memang, industri ini sangat lama, ianya tugas asasi ibubapa khususnya ibu. Tapi apabila ibubapa tidak lagi boleh menumpukan tugas mendidik anak ini, ianya mula dilakukan oleh pendidik sepenuh masa. Sebenarnya ianya sangat bagus.

Zaman dulu, seseorang individu memasak, menjahit baju, mendidik anak, membuat kasut dengan sendiri. Tetapi dengan cara begitu produktiviti mereka tidak tinggi. Apabila tiba zaman industri, manusia melakukannya sesuatu kerja dengan mahir. Kalau dulu seseorang itu hanya menjahit baju sepasang sebulan, dengan tingkatkan kemahiran, tumpuan dan bantuan machine contohnya, dia boleh menghasilkan 100 helai baju sehari. Pakaian yang dihasilkan pula cantik dan bermutu. Lahir lah barangan yg berjenama. Si tukang jam membuat jam dengan begitu berkualiti seperti Rolex, Pattek Philips sehingga dapat diwarisi kepada generasi akan datang. Begitu juga hal masakan. Kita perlukan seorg ibu yg memasak sampai menjadi Chef, mungkin sampai peringkat antarabangsa supaya produktiviti meningkat, boleh menyumbang pada negara dan dunia. Ibu tadi sudah tentu memerlukan pusat didikan yang specialize dalam didikan anak-anak. Untuk boleh melakukan yang terbaik, seseorang perlu melakukannya secara sepenuh masa, sistematik, dan berasaskan ilmu pengetahuan yang komprehensif dan kajian.

Pendidikan kanak-kanak sebegini mula dilakukan oleh Christian Missioneries. Dr Maria Montessori salah seorang daripada mereka. Dia mencipta kaedah belajar untuk kanak-kanak istimewa. Di Malaysia, tadika mula diadakan di gereja Kristian. Kemudian diikuti oleh badan-badan sosial seperti Kemas, Taski Abim, Pasti dan sebagainya. Tapi seperti yang saya kata tadi, untuk menghasilkan yang terbaik, kita perlu melakukan secara sepenuh masa. Jadi pusat yang diasaskan oleh badan-badan sosial amat susah kerana pendapatan yg tidak seberapa tidak boleh menampung kos. Malah susah untuk mencari mereka yang mahu terus memahirkan diri dalam bidang ini kerana kurang insentif. Sebab itu CIC mengambil tanggung jawab ini dengan bayaran yang relatifnya rendah berbanding dengan program yang ditawarkn.

Q.3 CIC yakin boleh berkembang?

Alhamdulillah kita sudah ada 10 centres. Untuk tahun-tahun awal kita tidak membuka banyak cawangan kerana kita menumpukan pembinaan dalaman. Kini saya yakin, InsyaAllah CIC dapat berkembang dengan baik kerana mempunyai asas dan sistem yang kukuh. CIC berada di dalam service industry, ianya adalah labor intensive company. Membina pasukan yang baik adalah sangat susah kerana kita berurusan dengan manusia. Lebih payah bila ianya melibatkan orang Melayu. Tambahan pula CIC memerlukan staf yang berkebolehan dalam beberapa cabang ilmu, mereka itu mesti seimbang. Susah juga nak cari staf yang sangat layak. Jadi saya kurangkan pergantungan pada staf dengan mengadakan sistem pembelajaran yg saya atur sendiri. Jadi staf kurang terlatih pun boleh ikutinya. Yang penting kita ada sistem checking yang berkesan.

Q.4 Apa servis utama CIC dan adakah saranan puan pada ibubapa?

Prasekolah utk kanak-kanak 4-6 tahun, playschool 2-3 tahun, after school program & KAFA untuk 7-12 tahun. Hidup kita adalah sesuatu yg penuh makna. Saya mahu bila kita jadi Muslim ianya benar-benar bermakna. Seseorang tidak boleh hayati agama melainkan dengan kecintaan yg tulus pd Allah, Rasul & keluarga baginda serta kaum Muslimin. Lihat sahaja pada amalan agama seperti ibadat haji, melontar di Jamrah, jika diukur dengan akal semata tentu pelik. Tapi dengan cinta, seseorang akan lakukan apa sahaja. Cinta kepada Islam serta kaum Muslimin ini perlu dijadikan sebahagian hidup kita. Nabi bersabda "Sesiapa yang tidak mengambil berat urusan kaum Muslimin maka bukan lah sebahagian daripadanya”. Kita lihat hari ini berapa ramai di kalangan kita yang prihatin tentang saudara kita di Palestin. Kita mahu generasi baru Islam khususnya Melayu, mampu mewakili Islam di peringkat antarabangsa, sudah tentu kita tidak boleh berharap pada kaum Arab. Kita mahukan generasi yang cintakan Islam dan memimpin dunia. Tapi kita mmg kena seimbang, tidak boleh extreme ke kiri atau ke kanan kerana adil atau seimbang itulah Islam. Hari ini kita lihat ada yang berimejkan Islam tapi sebaliknya memberikan imej buruk pada Islam. Mungkin anda boleh mulakan dengan memberikan pendidikan Islam yang progresif seperti CIC kepada generasi baru kita. Saya percaya Islam yang dibawa Nabi itu hidup bukan disimpan di dalam buku, tentu saja Islam dapat memimpin dunia mungkin melalui anak-anak kita. Dengan itu saya berharap ibubapa akan memberikan sokongan yang berterusan pada CIC.

Captivating Talents

CIC VISION'S TO GIVE BIRTH TO FUTURE PM

2008-09-26T11:59:00.000-07:00

After more than a decade in the early childhood industry, the founder of Children Islamic Centre or better known as CIC, Hjh Qutren Nada has brought CIC into a new phase. As CIC has established itself as a leading Muslim Early Childhood Education, now at its 2nd phase, she is introducing its leadership programs. As a start, the programs will be offered at selected branches of CICs.

Describing the value of such program, Hjh Qutren says, “developing leaders is not a cheap job. It needs participations from all parties in various aspects. As you know, not many Muslims especially Malays involve seriously in this field. Many choose teaching as their profession because they do not have other options. Some are very good but they are not supported by good team. It is such a big challenge to develop good team in Malay community. Anyway, I disagree with the view that the Chinese and Indians are better as I believe that the true teachings of Islam can produce man with perfect qualities. But Chinese and Indians dominate because they have enough supports from staffs and customers. At CIC we continuously train the staffs. It needs lot of resources including money and time. We have our quality control and KPIs. Some are not ready. They can come and go but we will continue to progress”.

Hjh Qutren congratulates parents who are committed to raising their children well. But this lady the founder of CIC and owner of other businesses with more than 40 employees, advises parents especially mothers to open their interest on many angles not only limited to their family affairs. “I have seen in many leaders, their mothers were great. Like Maryam the Prophet Isa’s mother, she was great. She was different from other ladies in term of beliefs, thoughts and actions. Fatimah Azzahra, the Kawthar of the Prophet had great mother, Khadijah Binti Khuwailid. Even most of the great leaders in this world, whether they are leaders in politics or leaders in sciences, they have great mothers who rear them. The mother can be real mother or foster mother. Like Imam Khomeini he had strong character, he was brought up by his aunt who was strong”, she said.

She sums up that with high love and high rules, children are very self-reliant and cheerful. They can cope well with stress and achievement oriented. I believed Tun Mahathir was brought up in this way.

With low love, high rules, children are moody, unhappy, often unfriendly and vulnerable to stress. With high love, low rules children are impulsive-aggressive, rebellious, domineering and low achievers. With low love, low rules, children have psychological problems, are immature and uninvolved.

Routine Dental Check-Up for Children

2008-09-25T20:00:00.000-07:00

All children need to have routine dental exams starting around the age of four, or sooner they will have dental problems.
At CIC, we put great importance in hygiene management for the students. For this purpose, dental check up becomes one of our priority programs each year.
During these exams the child's teeth will be carefully inspected, cleaned, checked for cavities, be given fluoride treatments and possibly have x-rays to check their teeth thoroughly.
It is suggested that we should visit the dentist every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. So, don’t forget to bring our future leader so that they will be more confident in front of others.

Spelling Made Fun…..

2008-09-25T19:54:00.000-07:00

Spelling has always been a complicated matter for everyone trying to learn the language. However, children today have found joy in spelling because they have fun with the words through the phonics concept.
CIC had organized the spelling contest week on 7th - 11th April 2008 where students are tested to spell words in English. The aim is to help children learning English words, increase their vocabulary, learn concepts and develop the correct usage of the languages that will help them as well as to create public awareness on the importance of spelling.
“We initiate the Spelling Contest with the purpose to teach the children to compete positively, enjoy learning, especially to spell in a fun and creative way. We also want to develop first class citizens by introducing it at early stage.” said Puan Qutren Nada Ahmad, founder of CIC.
Divided into two categories, contestants will be assessed on their written and oral skills. The spelling challenge grants students unique opportunity to express themselves creatively and innovatively by correctly spelling the words.
This spelling method has benefited millions of children in this world. It is the vision of CIC to bring out the best in every child.

Info:
CIC used Phonic & Whole word concept in teaching English. It is proven that through this concept, students can read and write English words easily. So, don’t miss it, come and join us!

CIC Swimming class

2008-09-25T02:36:00.000-07:00

CIC Swimming class has come to its second session this year. Now CIC organizes it on monthly basis at a public swimming pool, Kompleks Kejiranan Presint 16, Putrajaya.
Classes are divided into 2 categories; according to the skill levels. Classes ranged from the total beginner level to the advanced level. Water safety program is also taught to promote greater level of water confidence.
CIC initiates this special activity because we believe that learning swimming in professional way will help the child to develop strength, coordination, confidence and greater mental agility. It also helps in the development of a stronger respiratory system: Stronger heart and lungs. Most importantly, learning swimming is essential as human ability.
Children, through consistent learning and repetition, can happily propel themselves with ease and confidence in water. The emphasis throughout is on allowing children to proceed at their own pace without being pressurized. Praise, hugs, kisses and the joy of their accomplishments motivate them to take on new challenges.

*************************************************************
Children and water are like toast and jam, they go together. Burning the toast will result in the food being rejected. Dropping a young child into a pool’s deep end will most likely result in the child rejecting water recreation for a long time. A little fear is a bad taste that lingers for a lifetime

2008-09-11T01:47:00.000-07:00

It is important for the teachers to have skills and knowledge in dealing with children because every child should be treated differently and every day should be new learning experience. In addition to that, it is not only important to understand every child and his learning style but also to understand their parents and the best way to approach them pertaining to issues involving their children.
