New Day, New School

After couple of visits of going up and down Pejabat Pendidikan Wilayah Persekutuan and the school.. finally after a month of schooling at my alma mater, Adam change to the school closer to home.. easier to manage especially the picking up and sending to Sekolah Agama in the evening part..

It came by a surprise, Adam was totally shocked that he have to move school.. new environment.. new friends.. I hope he can adapt well.. even his current class teacher was not prepared to let him go.. ahahahah.. such a favourite student eh??

So this is him on his first day at the new school.. I didn't realised his hair were that long before.. We noticed in in this picture and plan to take him for a haircut after this..

But he love this school instantly because... he get to wear the school necktie whereas at the current school he's yet to receive his necktie even after a month!

We were asked to see the teacher that is incharge of Standard 1 students.. and she warn us about Adam's long hair.. she notice!! eheheh.. so 1st thing to do after school is haircut! 

She tested Adam reading skill just to set him to which class.. I thought of enrolling him for a chinese language class but all class are already full.. so arabic you go!

Adam's class is on the top floor.. third floor!! it took me quite some time to reach his class.. mind you it is a very long time ago when I used to take the stairs.. why put technologies to waste?? kehkeh..

His class teacher seems nice, a soft spoken lady.. she teaches Agama Islam.. she told us about all the fees needed and whatever additional item.. and she told us to bring all Adam's exercise book to put at the class.. the kids only have to bring their text books home.. everything is kept at class.. good initiative from the school.. they even have lockers to rent..

After settle everything at the school.. and Adam is safe;y learning at his class.. we left.. and come back again to pick him up at 1..

I was the one who told him to wait at the staircase and asked him to wait until I come.. and he said okay.. then the panic moment came.. I was waiting for him at the stairs but he is nowhere to be seen.. the very last Standard 1 student already came down the stairs.. 

 

But at the corner of my eyes I saw a familiar bag walking happily with his friends.. he was actually following his friend who is taking the transfer van to home.. I was shouting calling for his name like a mad lady.. and I was running.. almost cried.. suddenly he turned and smiled.. and he whispered something to his friends and walking towards me..

Such a relieved.. he said he just wanted to follow his friend.. I made him promise to not do that again.. just wait at the place that have been agreed earlier..

So there you go a drama to end his first day at a new school..

1st Day as a Primary Schooler

Finally the day came.. Adam start darjah 1.. Macam tak boleh nak percaye yang Adam dah darjah 1.. apa-apa pon he's still my baby boy..

Pagi tu memang awal.. make sure dah Adam tido awal malam sebelum tu.. Sebab sekolah tu area traffic jam.. Nasib baik dia ikut timing yang dah kitorang set..

Sampai pagi tu, terus head towards dewan.. kat situ, semua student dah kumpul.. it seems that kena kumpul kat situ dulu baru masuk kelas.. Tapi since haritu hari Isnin, so ada assembly.. lama la sikit.. and penuh parents keliling hall tu..

Adam pulak segan-segan sebab dia tak kenal sorang pon classmates..tapi refuse to look our way.. macho la tu konon..

Lepas assembly, they reset balik kelas darjah 1 based on test masa orientation haritu.. Adam 1 class up.. Alhamdulillah..

Bila the kids dah masuk kelas, all the parents being adviced to trust the teachers and leave their kids.. because they are already in good hands.. so, Dude and I just tinggal je Adam and went for our breakfast.. and promise to come back during recess time..

Masa recess tu kitorang duduk celah-celah orang taknak bagi dia notice kitorang.. memang dia tak notice langsung sebab jalan terus je tak tengok kiri kanan dah dengan bekal kat tangan.. ikut his friends.. tapi bila depan counter baru dia sedar he's not supposed to be there.. bila nak pusing to turn back entah macamane ada budak tengah berlari and terlanggar dia.. Jatuh terlentang la my baby boy on the canteen floor.. berlari kitorang nak save kan dia.. Nasib baik takde apa-ape.. only he's broken ego.. kihkih..

Tapi the comment from others including cikgu buat mak dia nih panas.. "tula adik.. lain kali jangan lari.. jalan je.. laintai ni licin.. kan dah jatuh.." that does not help calming him down.. lagi menangis ada.. Bila dah cool down tu.. pujuk dia makan.. Sebab recess tak lama and kena kumpul balik kat dewan lepas bell ring..

Everything went well after that.. Masa nak pick-up tu, jenguk la Adam in his class.. Nampak ok je and can adapt well.. Bila bell ring untuk balik je, the kids beratur depan class and salam cikgu before leaving.. the school terapkan good ethics la kan..

Petang pulak masa untuk sekolah agama.. Adam seems ok with the arrangements.. tapi rushing sikitlaa.. sebab traffic jam and all..

Kesimpulannya.. a successful day 1.. kita tengokla nanti the days to come..

Adam Standard 1 Orientation Day

Still tak percaya Adam dah nak masuk darjah 1.. Rasa macam baby of the family lagi.. eheheheh.. baju sekolah semua dah siap awal.. taktau la how he will react bila sampai sekolah.. jangan menangis sudah.. macam experience hantar Brainy Bunch dulu..

Pagi tu siap awal.. sambil praktis untuk real school days nanti.. memang nak kena siap awal..since Jalan Gurney tu selalu jam..

First thing masa sampai terus register attendance.. still tak ramai orang.. even the teachers pon tak berapa ready.. lambat jugak nak tunggu orang lain.. buang masa je sampai awal.. sebab semua orang datang lambat je..

Sementara tunggu tu, bagi nasihat sikit kat Adam.. eheheh.. then cikgu round up the kids ikut kelas.. ada 4 kelas je darjah 1.. then they brought the kids to their classes for further orientation.. while parents semua dengar ceramah about the school and the systems..

Habis ceramah, collect buku teks.. dah siap buku teks.. pegi kelas anak untuk jumpa cikgu & isi segala borang yang ada.. but the kids duduk kelas lain sit for a test..

Tak lama lepas tu dia anounce boleh ambik anak kat dewan and orientation tamat..

Jumpa Adam and asked him about his day.. ada kawan tak and all that sort.. dia kata ada kawan.. bila tanya nama kawan tros angkat bahu cakap tak tau.. ahahahaha.. bila tanya suka tak school sini.. dia kate suka.. 

So.. successful orientation day i suppose..

Meneruskan Tradisi

It seems Adam akan meneruskan tradisi mama, ummi & ayong..

We went to SK Jalan Gurney..

The difference is my sis & bro went to Jalan Gurney (2) while Adam and me Jalan Gurney (1)..

which ine is the best? of course Gurney (1)..

But we are still waiting for his appeal application..

just wait and see..

Southern Special Part 3

Harini free &easy.. takde rushing to anywhere.. lagipun nak check-out.. and balik KL..

Around 10 o'clock macamtu kitorang check-out and head to Jalan Petrie for late breakfast cum lunch.. brunch la kot kan?

Lepas breakfast, Jalan-jalan to my alma mater.. Tak susah sangatla.. sebab jalan sangat familiar.. Mintak permission from guard untuk masuk and visit the school.. Nasib baik boleh.. Dapatla tunjuk to Dude and Adam the area.. Tapi tak lama la sebab nak singgah JPO before balik and singgah Merlimau lagi before balik KL.. Tapi rezeki dapat jumpe my Biology teacher yang skarang dah jadi HEM.. garang and strict maintain..

Borak la seminit-dua.. tapi bila dah balik tu baru teringat.. whyla tak ambik gambar with her?

From there we head to Senai.. Ingatkan nak tunjuk Adam Legoland.. tapi he slept after the cough medication.. Tengok the new Legoland Hotel.. would plan a trip there bila pokok-pokok dah tinggi and redup sikit.. for now belum lagi kot..

Ingat nak singgah balik JPO.. hujan lebat sangatla pulak and Adam still sleeping summore.. so cancel..

Just singgah Merlimau untuk ambik all the fruits yang tengah banyak kat pokok.. penuh kereta dengan rambutan and langsat.. plus pisang also..

After this would plan another southern trip tapi would not include Singapore.. southern Malaysia sahaja..

Forgotten Words

These are words that I used to use on a daily basis.. Now, they were no longer used or have been forgotten.. Not until just now that I blurted out a word and gave me an idea to write a post on this.. these are what I can remember for now.. and there would be other series of this entry.. most of the words here are the words in high school

Okay, lets start..

KULOP

a hair situation after wearing tudung or even hat for too long.. it usually happens after school, after washing hair or even after cutting hair short.. since we were a boarding school, I don't know why but we tend to cut our hair short.. I guess less maintenance.. the dialogue would go like this

"eh! apasal rambut ko kulop semacam je?"

ROUND COMPOUND

a walking activity especially in the evening and at night around the school compound.. this is where we usually share problems and gossiping with friends while 'exercising'.. this round compound thing can be participated as small as 2 person to as many as you want.. sometimes the round compound at night would be accompanied by singing loudly.. the bight round compound only happens on weekends night.. but there would be occasional weekdays night round compound..

"malam ni kite round compound nak?"

TIDUR SEKATI

actually this word existed by mistake.. it was one of the rule & regulation where we were not allowed to share beds.. the sharing beds situation would always happen during scary moments.. I usually had this moments where I had goosebumps and hearing things especially at midnight.. this is where I usually share bed with one of my dorm-mates.. so back to the mistake thing.. In the rules & regulation they were saying about tidur sekatil.. but the typo was tidur sekati.. that word stick till I left school..

LECTURE

a situation where usually junior student would be scolded or advice 'nicely' after doing something that angered or displeased a senior student.. the lecture will occur at a 'secret' place and attended by around 15 - 20 senior student.. so just imagine you as a junior student alone being advice 'nicely' by 15-20 pther person.. but mind you.. there were no physical contact..

DUDE

this is the word that I missed the most.. actually this word I used during my uni days.. It was a nickname for Mr. AZ.. when I talk to him, I would addressed him as dude.. this goes on until we were engaged.. until one day abah heard us and he said "hang still aku-kau and dude-dude lagi? takkan sampai kawen nak camtu?" so, after that we tried to change to saya-awak.. which at first very the weird one... until now.. we had the saya-awak thing.. I think maybe I should addressed Mr. AZ as Dude here.. just to keep the word close at heart right? ok.. so from now onwards.. Mr. AZ would be known as dude in all my entry..

Ok.. I've ran out of words for now..  I would add more words in my coming entry on this..

Hi-Tea STF937 || Melting Pot, Concorde Hotel KL

This year marked the 20th year of friendship of me and my STF friends.. to be exact our friendship turned 20 on 5th of December 2013..

So some of the girls managed to gather some of us in Klang Valley for a hi-tea at Concorde Hotel.. I brought Adam along since nobody is at the house..

And yeah I love catching up with the girls (i mean ladies) and enjoying the hi-tea in between.. hence not much picture of the event.. but I do have some picture of my dessert and a picture of the attendees taken from a friend's fb account..

For me the hi-tea is worth it.. to pay RM70 and get to enjoy wide range of food is acceptable..
