Life's a Journey

I went bloghopping this afternoon. Stumbled upon Sis Ninuk's and IbuVogue's blogs. The main stories in these 2 blogs are the same - anak. It seems like the mothers are active web bloggers. A therapeutic experience. Wonderful! Am into web blogging myself. Finally I managed to put my thoughts in writing and my English back on track. The only thing that annoys me when typing is the jumpy keyboard. The cursor seems to be jumping everywhere and I always have to retype my sentences.

This morning I dreadfully woke Fatin up, knowing deep in my heart that she will not give up easily. And I was right. The moment she opened up her eyes, she asked me "Nak pegi mana?" And I said "Sekolah laa..hari ni kan hari Isnin". And she started crying and crying. Hubby tried to sweet-talk her. Slowly persuading her to take shower and get dress. And she kept on refusing. Until we had to take a drastic measure. Hubby said, "Kalau tak pegi sekolah, no cartoon". And he went on fuddling with thet Astro remote control. This morning we learned how to set a pin to the channels to control viewing. This morning we exercise our parental rights. Looking at me, she cried harder. And at that time it was already 8 am. Hubby tried to pujuk again and this time he promised that Ayah and Ummi will be there with her in her class. I had to sms my PM and told her that I will be on emergency leave this morning and will only be in the office after lunch. Then she said, "A...

Today is the third day of school. And guess what? Fatin is absent. Why? For some reasons she just didn't feel like going to school today. This morning she woke up a bit early than the last 2 days. Usually she gets to continue her sleep but today she had to wake up for school. With not-so-good mood, she got dressed up. Nak jadi sebab, her pink shades patah. And she started crying telling me Adik yang patahkan. Padahal Adik (the innocent) tak kacau pon cermin mata tuh. And the crying continues when she got scolded from me for hitting Adik (the innocent, again). And the merajuk started. After Hubby got down, the sobbing goes on. When Hubby asked what was wrong, the crying started to get louder. Sedih la tuh. So we managed to get her inside the car. It was around 8:15 a.m. at that time. So we went to school. Both myself and her got off and went inside the school compound. Tiba-tiba, she grabbed my hands and pull me off to the car and started crying and said she didn't want to go t...

Today is Fatin's first day of school. I am so excited!! We woke her up around 7:15 am. She asked me what day it is. I told her it's Wednesday! And she woke up with excitement, "Ari nih Atin sekolah". We dressed her up with her green pant suit (courtesy by Opah Haji) and socks and school shoes. Tied up her hair in 2 tiny pony tails. We even took pictures of her with her Chicky school bag. She looks so grown up. And we were off to her school. When we got there, not so many parents were there. We were wondering where are all these parents? Hubby made a conclusion that most parents must have sent their kids to the nursery. So starting kindy next door is not such a big deal to them. After salam-ing with me and Hubby, Fatin was off inside. She was so excited (I guess because she didn't turn back to us) and got over to her friends and was shown upstairs to the classes. And left us there, looking at where she was before she got off upstairs. We went back to the car, ...
