It's been so challenging having to manage 2 'working houses', our new house in SgPusu and the old haven in Kerdas.
Kenapa still maintain rumah lama ? Sebab anak2 blom dpt tukar sekolah lagi. So the routine was...we had all baju bajan & keperluan harian kat rumah lama but no fridge, washing machine or TV. Malam aku masak & pack everything. Pagi2 angkut semua skali, drop Hanis kat sekolah, drop Adan kat umah IL sbb Tok Wan yg hantar dia gi skolah agama. Drop Hannah & bibik kat umah lama & rempit berdua ke opis. After office, klu takde Kumon balik rumah terus. Kumon day (Tue & Fri), I'll shop for groceries or apa2 urusan kedai while waiting for them to finish their class. We reached home mostly around 8pm & 10pm on Kumon days. Exhausted gile but I still have to cook for the next day and life goes on...(dalam ati >> nape aku tak kurus ek ? )
Panjang mukadimahnye...(typical me hehe)
After 'harassing' JA!S officer via calls and visit, we managed to get them placed in SRA Integrasi Sg Chinch1n starting May 2010. Alhamdulillah. It's a gamble since the school is not a goverment school nor 'bestari' whatsoever. Chances of them getting into SBP is also lower or none at all ('kabel' diperlukan) but apart from convenience of 1 session school (syllabus sek. keb + sek. ag in 1 school), we also want them to have some playtime instead of 7am-7pm spent in school compound.
It's been depressing seeing Adan dropped his super heavy schoolbag and slumped on sofa with heavy breath and sometimes fell asleep while removing his shirt. Most of the time he came back with fever which will get away after few hours. When I asked our family doctor, she said, the energy needed for daily routine was too much for his frail body, his body is sending the signal via fever, to say I'm tired, I'm over-worked. Along had no physical issue but she was grumpy and get annoyed easily everytime she came back from school. So klu nak b'gurau lebih2, sila tunggu few hours after..
So on 3 May 2010, both of us took leave for royal send-off. Senyum lebar la semuanya (termasuk bibik, kurang la sket kena marah sbb manjang lupa & tertinggal walopon dh pesan b'kali2).
My neighbor will be sending them daily (yay! for Wan & Babah)
School starts 7.30am - 4.00pm (Yay! for bibik)
Black shoes & socks (yay ! for ibu & bibik)
No tie (yay! for Adan)
Not much ko-k (nay! for both)
Both were dissappointed to be placed in the last class instead of the top one esp. Hanis (mmg both of them kelas A all this while, tetiba kesedihan dpt kelas belakang hehe). I told then to prove it in final exam, else you'll be stuck in that class for another year.
Menu sepanjang tahun, not bad for rm50/mth (inc. teatime for Std 1-3)
Along dgn klasmate baru yg sgt friendly
We'll make do with whateva we have for now and will do whatever needed to be done. Ibu and babah had to work harder in monitoring their academic progress. Hope we'll get the best from this new change. InsyaAllah.
To Along & Adan, enjoy your new school !!
