Title entry ini bukannya dipengaruhi sesiapa dan juga bukannya birthday Renjuna around the corner, tapi if you start to apply for an annual leave on the first weekday in January just to register your kid at school, then tiba-tiba sentimen ‘ketuaan’ tu datang..  ”Waahhh… my kid’s now a grown-up man” and then you start to face a new phase in your life. Yeah that’s me in ‘January blues’.

So, in the first week memang kelam kabut sikit (banyak actually).. the reason was semua anak-anak ( yang bersekolah dan yang tak bersekolah) perlu bangun awal dan semua perlu diangkat masuk ke dalam kereta.. hasil mutlaknya… semua dah menunjukkan ragam yang tak elok dipagi hari.. But lucky me since they’ve been trained earlier at Kiddy, then semua boleh adapt well dengan suasana baru persekolahan. Jadi tak de lah mak bapak  kena tunggu kat sekolah macam some of the kids.

OVERALL DAMAGED untuk semua persiapan dan perbelanjaan beli buku dan peralatan sekolah = around RM 600 for two kids. Tapi after two weeks you can feel that it’s worthy after you heard that they can spell or membaca jawi or reading Iqraq fluently. As of today, Dina almost complete Iqraq 2 and also Buku 2; Bacalah Anakku. Ikhwan still at ‘Ja’ for iqraq and learning vowel sound for Bacalah Anakku.

But what made me so impressed ialah kalau masa kita sekolah dulu, surely kita darjah 2 or 3 barulah kita boleh mengenal seperti yang diorang tahu hari ni … cuba bayangkan kalau pelajaran Iqraq tu perlu baca petikan mengikut harakat yang betul.. i bet you yang budak-budak sekarang dah maju dan maybe my kids are in Generation Z if you can say it.

And then the next step is to register Dina ( 6th actually) at Kelas Fardhu Ain where she can learn all compulsory knowledge for muslimah.. the class is on sunday, monday, thursday, friday and saturday in the afternoon. So at 6 years old, Dina has to learn double or triple of what yang kita belajar dulu. When i checked her notebook, the first thing yang ustazah ajar is MENGUCAP dua kalimah syahadaah.. Terus terfikir yang kita ibubapa sebenarnya alpa atau lupa atau nyanyuk kerna itulah first thing yang perlu kita ajar anak-anak kita dan bukannya Tom and Jerry Kid atau Ben 10 atau Ayat-Ayat Cinta… poor me

But that’s not the end because after that we have to register Dina also at Kelas Mengaji Al-Quran kat Masjid.. So everyday, my ayang after pick them up at school then terus balik rumah for a quick lunch and terus mandi untuk ke masjid hantar diorang mengaji Al-Quran dekat Tok Iman selepas kariah selesai sembahyang zohor.

After all this and as we approaching February, I can’t imagine if my kids are in Standard 5 or 6 whereby surely kitorang panik 8 kali ganda lagi because of extra co curiculum actvities at school and Kelas Tuisyen at night.

HOWEVER the first and foremost, many or zillions thanks to my Ayang for not taking nine to five job just to take care all of our kid.. i can’t imagine others yang parent both working and let the BIBIK become Project Manager of our kids development….
