So Hari Raya come and go. Its such a tussle to fit Hari raya prep. and to submit assignment at the same time. Imagine one due on the eve and one due on the first day. Giler right. No choice but to submit one and ask for extension for the other. Then struggle to finish in between the jalan hari raya. Then also busy with the Deepa Raya concert which actually sucks. The music was too soft so all come in wrong. Music and step cannot co-ordinate. Messy and made fools of us. Well it shd be a joyous occassion and in the process of all these you get to know better ple who work with u. And undeniably there are characters that pissed u off and unknowingly u could have also pissed of certain ple.That's why the phrase:we are only human.I want to say that to those who pissed me off, I forgive you cos this is hari raya and to those whom I have pissed I do seek forgiveness.
So finally school is over cos O level is about to start. Tho we still need to go back for endless meetings and to clear work.I hope that my students are busy studying hard. I know it will be difficult to study in the midst of a festive occassion but you just have to put your mind to it and be disciplined enough to focus on your Os.
My sister from KL is here for Hari Raya so as per normal the division of house host. I will always host the children while the adults will be at Punggol. Imagine two corners of the world. Nak pegi jalan raya must wait for one another. Janji pergi rumah org lepas magrib sampai lepas isyak. Bagus kan. Plus my other sister the one in Punggol this year trend dia is to get lost in the journey. Imagine from Punggol to Jurong also sesat.BIG TIME BLUR. This is what ple say janji melayu. Aniwaes, these 6 big children at my house asyik lapar aje. Fasting month's weight loss is now slowly diminishing as we continuously eat as we go visiting. So sad. I got more Hari Raya visiting to go.
So we watch the show REMPIT. Malaysia production. This is the first M'sian production that I've seen which shows the culture of mat mat motor and their promiscious society. Children who watch this need to be able to realise that di sisi agama this is not correct and shd not be an accepted way of life. I think M'sian production getting very bold. I thought that this show is NC16 but they said that it U meaning UMUM all can see. And I also watch HEART sad ending but a bit draggy but we found out that the actress Nirina Zubir the one who always play basketball in the show is actually the niece of one of the teachers. Small world.
So I forsee a busy schedule ahead as the school year is coming to an end. No holiday yet. And need to study for coming exams.This is my real concern.
So much things happening...
Firstly... My eldest turned 17. But its been such a hectic period that we simply didn't have the time to celebrate. Our normal family b'day celeb. wld be a simple dinner out just us. Haven't been able to do that. Time have been not on our side. My husband has been so very busy at work.We had very little opportunity to even see him. He wld only be back from work late .. maybe abt midnight... or even as early as 3 am. Just in time to wake me up to eat sahur. Well my son was also not around on his b'day. He has trainings...but the funny thing happen on that day. I wwent out with the girls to buy some food for breaking fast. Khairi left for soccer training. When we drove into the carpark, we saw the in-laws car at the carpark. My girls got a shock of their lives. OH NO...suddenly coming from Nadia. Nenek is here. That looks like her car. These girls are so terrible.
True enough... they were waiting at the corridor.Nobody home wt. So cannot come in. When we ask why didn't call first.... hehe..haha.. wtever reasons lah...
I don't really like ple to come unannounced. Especially I know the conditions of my house. Very messy. I need time to actually clear things when ple want to come. So imagine ple come unannounced. Of course messy lah. The best was the girls room.. kena comment giler.. BILIK ANAK DARA... tak cukup... must be BILIK ANAK DARA PEMALAS.. hehehhe. That coming from her.. sounds slightly awkward. I no comment. My girls shocked that this nenek actually commented. Aniwaes, they came cos its Khairi's b'day. then the boy not home. Funny right.
We've been fasting for 14 days. As per normal, very tired.Really lack of sleep. There was a day when I woke up at 4 am to prepare for sahur. I heat up the frying pan and while waiting, I lie down for a while. And you know what happens when you lie down for a while esp when you are so tired. I dozed off. Jus when I shake myself up and saw smoke in the kitchen. Panic but luckily not as bad as last year. Last year the kitchen ceiling was already blackened but I actually forgot that I did that last year. Then, the other day, while driving home from school, I just find it hard to keep my eyes open. A second of shut eyes and you find your car going towards the curb.I've been sleeping late, very late like abt 2 am. Then wake up at abt. 4 am. Sleep again at abt 5am to wake up at 6 again to go to school. I think I've been living life dangerously this fasting month.
My poor husband has been busy at work too. He came back only at 6am. Didn't buka with us that was expected, but did not even get to sahur with us. He finally came home at abt 6am this mornig only to shower and go again before 7am.Then tomorrow he is working again. What a life. As May Tan always say...Its a dog's life.He usually does the washing of the car. And with the haze, the car really dirty. So no choice. Car Wash.I hope next week to be better.
I will be giving my class Mock exams. Just hope that they study.
Why do teachers always worry more than students when its their exams.
I worry abt my students. I worry abt my children also for their exams. Like this how not to have white hair. Thank God for my tudong.
I have not even done anything for Hari Raya. My curtain that is supposd to be sent to laundry has been left in one corner of the house for weeks.And I'm supposed to use it for Hari Raya. Sigh.....
Work don't say lah. Piling. I have also hit deadline that I pretend that I forgot. But I simply have no time to do.
Next week will try to be more on task.
And I finally changed to a new phone.
Its not what I initially wanted but I think will do. Aniwae, the kids always say that my phone is simply to answer call, SMS and hear radio. Good enough. My new phone have all that.
