Who's taking UPSR this year??

Let the pictures tell the story

The pictures were taken by abah..abah was actually watching tv at Adib's side while he busy reading his Bacalah Anakku..After a while the sounds subsided and he had actually dozed off. Adib is suprisingly quite disciplined in his homeworks and learning as a whole.

Certain nights , he will recite after angah to improve his readings...and most of the time they will end the session with a fight because Angah has his certain way of teaching whereby he always wants adib to say the aphabet first before saying the word...like "A" then only comes the "Abu". But Adib who love to tease Angah..(every chance that he has), straight away go for "Abu". And the shouting starts...Angah will give up the teaching and Adib shouting for him to continue but still not wanting to follow the teacher's technique....and the cycle continues....until mummy comes into the scene...............

Aunty Darling's engagement

Love is in the air...and we have another engagement and this round it belongs to Aunty Darling...

Aunty's In engagement-part 2

Upon arrival at Tok Ana's place, Along , Angah and Adib were so excited seeing a big camp at the backyard. Then Tok Ana and Aunty In told us that Tok Hashim actually just bought the camp recently for cucu cucu from Pahang.....It is a good idea having the camp, at least no kid messing around in the house....

Along ...raja mainAdib..the storyteller...sometimes he worries me...
Angah...voice of the nite and also the next morning with Ketahuan...with the ever tembam girl -aunty Farahin or Pa-in
The boys with Aiman @ chikadeess....note Along's eye???That is one of his specialties......doing one very very very lazy eye....

Aunty In's engagement

Aunty In is now engaged...the kenduri was held on her 26th birthday on March 8th. Actually this is very unexpected...tak hujan tak ribut out of sudden we were told and invited to the kenduri bertunang...by Kak In herself and of course Tok Ana...it was a small family gathering but sangat meriah..

A must-have in a johorean engagement or wedding ceremony...karaoke..actually i was like "what" karaoke for kenduri bertunang...but we ended up conquering the mics...earlier session were mummy and abah...and penutup were these 2 boys...

as for the food, we have it "rewang" i.e. cooked together...plenty plenty of food..nasi jagung, laksa johor,rojak, all sort of "kuih"..and Tok Ana must-have drinks..air mata kucing...which adib kept on calling "air kucing"

Chumad who was obviously acting....

uncle wan who can never resist to strike a pose....

Finally, Aunty In....who can be proclaimed as Beyonce no more Ning Baizura....but she said it is more BeonCit...Happy Engagement Aunty In.............

One whole day at SKIM

This morning I was invited to SKIM to attend a taklimat for "Project Jejak Gemilang UPSR 2009". Afi is one of the 25 students selected for this programme sponsored by Yayasan Pahang. Mummy has to confessed that initially i was a bit skeptical about the selection as the top boy in Afi's class 6 wira is not selected...and the fact that Abang is very very "rajin" doing his homework just complete the puzzle. However, Afi has explained that this programme is only for anak pahang either you or your father or mother has to be borned in Pahang. During recess, I managed to meet the top boy and he told me that he's from Trengganu....opps...

So during this talk, we were explained why these 25 students are being chosen and what is the aim.....The whole purpose of this programme is not only getting 5As but they are aiming for quality As....i am scared to death hearing that...and i was hit further with some statistics about the 2008 UPSR achievement in Kuantan.....in 2008, there were 6832 students sat for upsr and ONLY 983 students got 5As and that only contitutes 14.39%..in other word there were approximately 85% not getting one.....and for the whole of Pahang only about 3000 students got 5As in 2008.....wow......and all this while I was thinking that everyone seem to be getting 5As and I was always curious about the standard of this exam comparing with my time.....wow...now I realise that this is serious business......and i am amazed with the kind of dedication the teachers are showing.....remarkable.....so basically along, you have everything on the table and you have only one choice that is to study and go for that 5As........

And as I always gertak Along, one day mummy will spend a day sitting in his classroom...and I did today.....a new student in 6 wira who has never seen mummy before told Afi that there is "pegawai pemantau" ...and those who know me...just smiling and keep on giving me salam as they passed by me....very respectful children ......

That's Along ....doing some volunteer work leading the class reading some science stuff...well this is one the things that he likes to do, the teacher told me........

Angah's worries

After maghrib, as Angah was lying on my bed..he complained that he had difficulty doing rukuk because of backpain. So I massaged his back then he started telling me that he 's having the pain for the past 2 days. Then I remember that he made a fuss yesterday or so, about he was not able to run as fast as he used to do. He told me that he chased a standard 2 boy recently and he failed to catch the boy as he felt some pain in the chess. I asked him why there is a need to chase at all, cant you just write down his name or something. He commented that it is necessary to catch the boy there and then as that poor fellow did too many mistakes (one is getting into an empty pond???)...poor kid...but he able to escape ...he..he..he..

Angah also expressing his worries if this pain he's feeling will last until April...why April????

Then he explained that in April, the school will organize their yearly sport event....Now I understand why it bothers him so much .....For the past 2 years, he's been holding the title as a top runner for his year....and angah being angah is always anxious to keep his record.....

Actually he is down for a flu....

Along jatuh basikal

Last tuesday Along felt off from bicycle while cycling to buy some karipaps for Adib ( as he told me). There are a lot of scratches on his legs and his right hip was a bit swollen. That night Adib lectured Along for quite a bit...tellling him not to play with the bicycle or he may fall down again. I later rub some ointments to the legs andAlong was screaming even before i touched his skin. Adib was there , one hand on his face- to cover his eyes and another showing me how to apply the ointment.

Adib was actually scolding me asking me to apply the ointment slowly, then i told him that i have not even applied anything yet...hearing that he was like took a deep breath and make his usual lazy eyes looking at me....
