New School Year

SIMBA

Simba proceeds to Primary 2 this year. Eventho he didn't get to be nemuro uno, he still did quite okay during Primary 1 and managed to place himself in the top class this year. Not bad for a person who didn't even read his books during the exam week. Well, i guess it's luck. He still attends the morning session for Sek Ugama and afternoon session for Sek Kebangsaan. I think his Ugama class has less students this year bcoz many of his frens are attending the afternoon session as the time i went to pay his fees and to buy his books, there were only 10 pupils with the ustazah. InsyaAllah ustazah will be able to give them more attention eventho i think she'll get more headache with the afternoon class. This year i'm trying something out, i.e paid his school and mengaji fees for the whole year instead of giving him the money monthly. I think that will save me the headache of giving him the exact change every time. He definitely has proved himself to be very responsible for the past years so i think there's no issue of him not being reliable :) Guess i just don't know what's in store for 2006 bcoz the economy was not that good for 2005. I think it's better to play safe la kan, hehehe.

One setback re Simba on first day of school was he got attacked by some insects on his way back from Sek Ugama. He had rashes all over his body. It got worse when he was in Sek Kebangsaan after he ran up and down the stairs helping the teachers with those text books. With some parts of the rashes were swollen, Dr gave him MC for 2 days. Nowadays, school kids pun dapat MC.. eee, syoknya.. dulu mana ada.. But he's very much OK oredi :)

FAIE

My lil kakak starts her kindy too :) She looks so cute in her gown and hair clips, together with white socks and tiny school shoes which has 3 lil flowers on the velcro band. Of course she'll be half awake while waiting for the bus after she had eaten breakfast. The idea of meeting strangers really frightened her on the first day. Eventho Simba oredi rehearsed with her on how to answer whenever anybody ask her name before Papa took Faie to school, still she was so afraid to answer when the real situation took place. She either kept quiet or said "tak tau" when asked. Good thing was she didn't cry. Buttt, she refused to go into her classroom eventho some of the teachers tried to pujuk her. So, on the 2nd day i followed her to school and waited outside her classroom. Glad that she had fun and didn't cry. Well, some kids really had some drama when their mom tried to leave. Yang menangis melalak, yang lari keluar sekolah, yang tak nak masuk balik lepas dah keluar class, yang mintak call the guardian to come pick them up.. macam-macam hal. Somehow i'm glad Faie didn't do that eventho she cried the time i left her in the class. Tapi sebab malu orang tengok dia nangis, dia cepat berhenti. All in all, she actually had fun during that few hours. Last Friday she told me that she oredi has a fren. When asked the fren's name she answered "Elina". But somehow me & C think her fren's name is Elisa :)
