Assalammualaikum

Sabtu lepas kami sekeluarga pergi ke kedai second hand di Chiba area. Nama kedai second hand tersebut ialah 'Book Off'. Walaupun second hand tapi, barang2 nya masih lagi cantik dan sngat tip top condition nya. Macam2 ada jual. Dari pakaian lelaki/perempuan/kanak2/winter jacket, barangan ski, toys, barangan bayi, dapur, handbags. Fuhhh,...memang lama kami spent masa kat sini. Tak pergi kedai lain pun. Kat sini jer...

Station metro yang paling dekat dengan kedai 'Book Off' yang kami pergi ini ialah Minama Funabashi. Kalau dari rumah kami ( Shinkoiwa station ), kena naik 2 train. 1st, Sobu Line then, Musashino Line. Means tukar train sekali. Dah sampai at last station tu kena jalan kaki around 10minutes mcm tu.

Ni ada few pictures yang berjaya untuk dikongsikan bersama. :)

That's all update for our weekends. Sunday just pegi supa jer beli groceries. Ahaks! . InshaALLAH, esok nak pegi Iqra International School pulak. Nak survey sekolah Hannah. Doakan yer.

Assalammualaikum

Tadi sempat suvey sekolah Hannah. Kalau tengok di google map. The nearest elementary school from our house is Futakami School. Sekolah rendah di Jepun dipanggil Shougakko. Jalan kaki dalam 10min jer. Better dari sekolah tadika di Paris ari tuh. 20 min kot jalan kaki.

Sesampai jer, tekan intercom, cakap jer la nihongo yang aku dah belajar ar ituh. Lepas tuually muncul la pembantu sekolah, macam tukang kebun/tukang masak ..hehehe...aku introduce diri semua pastuh cakap jer, kat mana office?.Then die tunjuk sampai ke office. Jumpa sensei lelaki ni, pun baik gak, aku bgtau, aku tak paham sangat nihongo, eigo ga wakarimasuka?..aa...chotto matte..die pun ilang jap dari pandangan gi cari sensei yg boleh berbahasa Inggeris. Alhamdulillah...sensei yang ni, mmg agak fluent english nya. Pada aku , die faham ape yg aku cakap and sama2 faham..dah OK sangat2.

Kemudian, kami jumpa vice principal sekolah tu. Die tak pandai sangat eigo.So, die cakap ..then sensei yg pandai english tu translate kat aku. Best!...hehehehe..

As a conclusion, kena gi city hall Katsushika ku. Level 4 ( education department ). Bagitau derang nak request sekolah kat Futakami. Tapi banyak bende kena prepared la katanya. Huhuhu...moga dipermudahkan lah nanti.

Actually, tak sure lagi nak hantar Hannah ke Public School Nihon or Iqra'  Tokyo International School. Husband cakap mana2 boleh. Cuma, Iqra' tu jauh la, naik van sekolah dlm 30min baru sampai. Tapi bagusnya, medium language is English. So senang la utk Hannah. Masih dalam perbincangan dan pertimbangan lagi.

Tadi sempat amik few pictures kat Futakami Shougakko.  Toilet untuk murid-murid sangat lah bersih. Aku dulu sanggup tahan kalau nak membuang kat sekolah sebab tak sanggup nak hadap tandas kat sekolah. Keadaan sekolah sangatlah ceria. Untuk tahun 1-3, derang tak tekankan sangat on academic. Subject more to Nihongo, art, math, music and pembentukan akhlak/adab.No wonder la derang sangat baik. Aku dah kena treat ngan salesgirl, pharmacist, public, jiran, cikgu, tukang kebun sekolah, orang jual roti, jual tempura. Kalau dok sini lama2 lagi pun aku sanggup!. Hahahah

Shukaijouk ( activity room )

Well, only after the second time we went this place. I realized that, the place it was not only for the children to play but for the mommies to get together and have a chit chat among them. Since I don't understand the Nihongo ( Japanese language ) I can't really get what they are up to. But trust me, I got treated very nicely. I have applied my basic nihongo on how to introduce ourself for the 1st timer ( of course ). I just memorized the line. Hehehehe...

I feel proud when I said that ..Watashiwa Mareshiaa Kara Kimashita  ( I am from Malaysia ) ..and obviously they know where is Mareshiaa. :)

Japanese mommies will have ration ( junk food ) in their bag. Unlike french. Which they only have healthy food like fruits, bread and cheese. They will ask their children to offer their snacks with other children including us!

The difficult part is when I need to put everything 1st inside my bag and need to explain to my children that those food is not halal.  Hannah is OK and fully understanding with the situation but for the boys....it take some effort and patient from me.

I think that, this place is quite useful since we do not have many toys in the house and they also can meet their new friends and try to mingle around with them. As for me, I can ask thing that I don't know or not familiar. Such as,  how to pay the utilities bill..where to buy cheap stuff / groceries, youchien ( kindergarten ) and gokka (school). Although we hardly understand each other but finally, I got what I want.Alhamdulillah...


Finally, please have  a look at our pictures below ;

Assalammualaikum

We had spent our afternoon at Shinkoiwa area. It's only took 10 minutes by walking from our house. The place remind me at our Central Market / Pasar Seni. But this one is less crowded and they got varieties in business. Shoes, women/men apparels, snacks, poultry, sea foods, hyaku shop ( 100 yen ) , bookstores, pharmacies, coffee shop, shushi restaurant and supermarket.

The place is very clean and the people is so friendly and kind. :). It also near with densha ( electric train ) station ( SHINKOIWA STATION )

Let's have some pictures.











                                                     The best mandarin orange so far!!!.

Alhamdulillah,

Dengan izin Allah, kami sekeluarga selamat mendarat di bumi Nihon Ahad pagi lepas. Anak-anak semua tidur lena dalam kapal terbang. Saya yang tidak dapat lelap. Tidur duduk, memang tak selesa sangat la kan.
Sampai-sampai cuaca sangat sejuk, -1. Huhuhu...belum winter lagi. Ahad siang tu rehat jer kat rumah. Malam baru digagah kan jua untuk keluar . Survey kat mane kedai runcit, Daiso ( Hyaku shop) kedai 100 yen. Kedai RM3.

Depan rumah kami ada playground. Tak banyak mainan pun. Tapi OK la, boleh nak layan kalau bosan bosan kan. Ada juga Shukaijouk ( Activity /meeting room) kat dalam tu ada toys and slide jugak. Kalau sejuk sangat kami boleh pergi sana. Tapi, tak bukak everyday and ada timing.

Sempat berkenalan dengan Japanese mommies. Memang baik2 la derang tu. Nasib baik, Jiran Kaneko San ( 80 yrs old) tu bagitahu ada this kind of places. Lepas main, wajib susun balik. Toilet sumer tip top la..bersih berkilat.Bau busuk pun tader.

Nah...layan gambar ni dulu;
