Ready for School

All my kids are ready to brave the new academic year of 2009.

Siti Aishah will be in P2 Unity in GreenRidge Pri. She still thinks that her form teacher will still be Ms Sahara...I need to explain to her over & over again that form teachers will be different as students move to a different level... Aishah love Ms Sahara so much you see. When Aishah went thru this patch of low self esteem after failing her Math mid year exam,...Ms Sahara was the one to pull her out. Writing diaries just for her, taking a personal effort to help Aishah. No wonder Aishah feels so close to her.

Her new books are all done up since mid Dec, plastic wrap..all the works.

Nuraina will be in Sec 4B West Spring Sec School. Even before the school open..band practises are in full swing for the upcoming Band Concert to be held in one of the Polytechnics in June 2009. They are practising the 'Pirates of the Carribean' theme song among others. They sounded so COOL....

Sulaiman will be in Sec 3 in St Joseph's Institution. Last night he tried on his school uniform....long pants....put on the belt. Doesn't look nice as the waistline is a bit loose...extra material look flimsy under the belt...I need to alter a bit.

2009 will be a very important year for Aina as she will be seating for her 'O' levels and a challenging year for Sulaiman as he is taking 9 subject combinations after the streaming exercise recently. He is taking Full Literature, Full Chem, Full Physics, A & E Maths, Higher Malay, English, Combine Humanities (Geography). He knows he needs to focus well in 2009.

As a parent, I am ready too. Ready to have more peace of mind once the school re-opens...the holidays seem to be too noisy at home....what with the kids arguing over computer time and attention. I am depleted of all energy and effort... I should get more personal time once they are off to school.
