This is life...

Going Back To School
Yay! The school break is over. I am sad and happy at the same time. Sad because of the amount of money spend on the children. And happy that they are finally out of the house doing something useful. Shukur alhamdulillah, I have four children going to school this year. The fourth goes to school for the first time, although he is already a pro when it comes to schooling after spending three years in pre-school. Did the gomen said they are going to reduce the school fees this year? I feel it was the same as last year. Anyway, it is still cheaper than last year because this year we don't have to buy books. And I am fortunate enough to be able to pay for everything with little extra luxuries for the kids like nice pencil cases and bags and all the necessary gadgets kids must have in school. However, I do feel for parents who can't even afford to pay the school fees.

My eldest have to wake up at 5:30 am because he needs to catch a bus at 6:00 am. He is already in form two and his school is about 15 KM away. The bus does not stop right in front of our house. You see, we live in a kampung and the big bus needs to cross the small bridge to get to our house. But, the bridge is too small to accommodate the big bus. So my son has to cycle to the big road and leave his bicycle at a nice Pakcik's house near the bus stop. Most of the boys in the area leave their bicycles there for the day before they catch the bus to school. The girls have their parents send them across the river.


The other three kids are still in primary school and sekolah agama. Everything went smooth for everybody this morning except for my number three who always have problem getting up in the morning. He literally sleepwalking to school last year. He is in strd two this year. I thought he would improve this year but I was wrong. I practically had to drag him, rotan his butt few times but he still refused to wear the uniform. In the end, just like last year, I had to dress him up. Immediately after putting the shoes he went back to sleep on the sofa until his van came. His younger brother was boasting to him that at least he took a bath and dress by himself.


I have been doing this for the last eight years, and I have to do this for another 15 years. That is when my youngest going to turn seventeen. My god! I just realize it now that in twenty years I shall be 55. Imagine a 55 year old me driving around sending kids to school. After that, I probably have another five years of sending them to university. By the time all the kids have left home, I shall be 60 years old. Itu pun kalau umur panjang.

The Apekgate

The apek said he had to resign because Malaysians demand it from him. Because of our "holier than thou" attitude. We demand you to resign not because of our "holier than thou" attitude. We demand it because leaders need to be RESPECTABLE. You cannot kill someone and said I am sorry. My family have forgiven me. And continue with your life as if nothing happen. Even husbands who commit adultery and get caught should not expect that by saying sorry, things are going back to normal again! You made a mistake and things change. How people think of you have changed. I could have said, "yeah I forgive you but next time, don't get caught lah ha". But, how I perceived you as a leader has changed. My confidence is no longer with you. Everytime I see your face, I will say that this is the guy who had sex in the hotel room. I will wonder if he still doing it with his girlfriend and where. I have no longer have respect for this guy and that is why he should resign.

And did he say that the mistake he made was to stay in the same room everytime he went to the hotel. Bloody hell. He still didn't get it. Didn't he realize that the mistake was to commit the sin in the first place.

Apek, go to hell.
