Sophia.

Princess yang paling lasak, chubby but at the same time sangat sensitive. She's a cry baby.

Some Story To Tell

I have a lot to tell.

Sarah has been progressing well at school. But, this school got lots of homework which she is pretty excited as everytime balik rumah she will ask to "belajar buku." Hopefully the excitement last till forever lah or else we will penat to nag at her to do the homework later on.

But the drama at the kindy already started. Last friday she came back and pointed at his swollen lips. Apparently, one of the boys main lasak sangat and tertepis tangan to her mouth. Sedikit berdarah but it is okay. And yesterday, she lost one of her sock. So balik rumah semalam pakai sock sebelah je. -__-

Sophia has been clingy as ever. As I go to work every morning at 6.30am, so when she wakes up memang she will cry for me. Sedikit sadis disini as I could imagine how mr husband have to juggle with the girls alone. To prepare Sarah for school and to layan Pia's tantrum at the same time, and he himself got to work later on. Sure pening!

Mr husband as always he is, loves eating and always in denial thinking that he is eating healthily. I personally think that he isn't fat, but is just big. Gotta watch his eating habit as his family got history of diabetic, high blood pressure and etc.

And me? I got to lose some weight. Reasons? later I tell you.

School Starts Tomorrow!

My goodness!

Schedule are out! and we received this thick file consists of the syllibus but until end of this year saja. Next year punye schedule belum keluar.

Not sure whether i am able to cope up with this things.
With the new org. chart which involves lots of analysis need to be done. I am in a headache. Pening kepala!

Don't wanna think about the assignments once the class starts.Tomorrow is the first class btw, wish me luck.

Gonna prepare lots of sweets and water to keep me wake up. One thing about me is I can never focus on lectures 9am - 5 pm. During those uni days when we took Principle of management subject, all i can remember was banyak mengelat, banyak ponteng, tiru assignments.

And now i am taking full management course! phew...

Yesterday i asked one of the HR boss, takde option ke whether to accept or not the nomination. Guess what he said?

"No, kecuali berhenti"...

Sarah is going to school (Part 2)

Truthfully, susah betul nak cari kindy kat area Kuang.

Our criteria: Bukan shop lot, islamic dan english medium (kalau campur malay pun ok). How we wish kat sini ada Genius Aulad or Little Caliph, tapi since Ar razi kids method mungkin lebih kurang so that's it.

Too early to tell this tadika bagus or tidak, since kalau cari kat google memang takde satu review pun. So, now i am making one lah. From my findings;-

- School compound ok. Tapi since yang dekat Kuang ni kawasan dia dekat dengan hutan jadi kadang2 ada monyet. Hopefully the teachers are aware of that lah.

- Small group as the kids are divided by year so utk kelas 4 tahun so far ada 12 orang je.

- Lantai kindy maybe kena mop selalu since everytime Sarah balik mesti socks hitam gila.

- Class start dari pukul 8.30 pagi - 1 ptg. Ada makan pukul 10 dan before balik dalam pukul 12.30 tgh. This is good sebab some kindy bagi makan sekali and sekeping biskut je.(true story)

- Teachers so far are very friendly and helpful.

- If ada info, teachers akan give memo yang akan di paste dalam buku. Each kids wajib ada satu buku utk memo. Yang lain2 macam buku kerja semua provide by tadika since dah masuk dalam yuran.

- Yuran is divided by 2 semester, 1st sem (Jan-June) dalam 5 ratus lebih, and second sem (July onwards)  dalam 4 ratus. Tapi masa registration tu habis dalam 8 ratus lebih jugak lah inclusive of uniforms and what not. Then monthly rm165.

Is Sarah coping well?

Jawabnya tak juga. Since masa first day she dah demam and kena warded, pastu Dr tak bagi pi kindy seminggu which at that time is orientation week. So last monday hantar dia, bergenang air mata (tapi x nangis). Tapi luckily her teacher baik, greet and lead her to the class.

Everyday, mr husband yang akan hantar as saya pi kerja pukul 6.30 pagi, and balik Her mak Ros will fetch her up. In this one week, setiap hari after sending her to kindy, mr husband will call and update me the progress. How dia taknak mandi and wanted me to mandikan and pakaikan baju, and pegang tangan papa tak nak lepas. Tapi dia tak nangis lah.

Everyday mesti tanya dia belaja apa, makan apa, kawan dengan sapa. Tapi dia taknak berkawan sangat. maybe took some time to warm up (like me, hehehehe), and mr husband said, kalau hantar dia pagi2 and when her teacher yg baik tu greet her, pastu dia ikut je cikgu tu and duduk dgn dia. This morning pulak, the teacher dtg lewat so dia takde to greet her and sarah, air mata pun dah bergenang. Sedih and tak mahu mingle with other kids.

How we adapt to this?

Memang penat. since saya sampai rumah selalunya pukul 7, sometimes at that time mr husband tak balik lagi. So mandi ala kadar, masak, sapu sikit, dan sambil melayan the clingy Pia. Tunggu mr husband balik, lepas dia solat suma makan. Pastu check bag sarah, tgk ada homework ke, siap2 kan baju socks, tudung dengan name tag so esok pagi mr husband siap2 kan dia tak kelam kabut. Tau2 je lah nak handle kids pagi2 much harder kan. dengan Pia lagi. So this week kitorang suma tidur pkl 9.30pm. Kalau tak tidur, alamat Sarah pun tak tidur lah then besok bangun pagi payah.

I was wondering, how do we cope up nanti bila the kids are going to real school? 

In 2012, I'm Back to School.

I received a (good or bad, i don't know) news last Thursday. It wasn't a surprised, but i did not expected it either.

A few months before we ended 2011, boss came and tell me that he gonna nominate me for some programs that the company is conducting. A program that meant to groom certain people to be in a managerial line someday, with lots of classes, workshops, presentations, book reviews and what not. I then was asked to sit for a test with lots of questions (IQ,common sense, algebra etc) Then for an evaluation test which was hard. First, evaluating myself. There is 100++ questions. Then two peers (selected by me), two peers (selected by HR which I don't know who), two subordinates, and two bosses are evaluating me. All together 8 people are evaluating me. Just to see the consistency and to know where I am at the eyes of the evaluator. Scary it is.

Total candidates was 40 people and only 20 will be selected. And guess what, I am one of them. If you ever read last saturday's newpaper under the economy section/column. you'll know that The Company has collabarate with MIM for this program.The course is for a duration of 1 1/2 years, classes are on fridays and saturdays (whereas schedule is not yet received).

Mr husband is being supportive, as always. Before took the test we've discussed the pros and cons about it, and tell me to go with the flow and go for it. I foresee lots of challanges awaiting me but hey, this is one of the opportunity. Think positive and happy studying.
