This year my younger son Adib started his afternoon session ( the school's firstime) that changed my normal routine into a very kelam kabut one...after many years of having only single session, with the growing populations , the school has no choice but to have it in 2 sessions...
Last year when my eldest Izzat started his afternoon session, it was quite a smooth transition...except a few hinch here n there...while both my younger ones are in morning session.
However, this year with Adib n Izzat both in afternoon leaving Sofiah alone in the morning ...my routines have changed dramatically...now I have to limit myself from attending religous classes that are held at a nearby surau to once a week compared to atleast 2-3 times..reason, I got to make sure that Adib does his homeworks, help him and being there to answer all sort of soalan cepumas from him... then almost every morning, I got to go cycling with him a few rounds in the area...reason being, in the evening, by the time he came back from school, it'll betoo late...he said "I have to exercise...I dun wanna grow fat!" what??? he must be watching The Biggest Losser alot...whatever...
Then by 11.40am the most, I have to start my journey to a nearby town to send Izzat in which ; return journey would normally takes around 30-40mins....yg nih sorang lagi budak bertuah....instead of just entering a secondary school just next door from his old primary, he wanted to study far instead...reason being ..Izzat said "I don't want to have the old friends since I was std 1 to std 6. I wanna have new friends" whatever... And then, I have to rush pulak sending Adib to school as according to him, school asked them to be in the Dewan Terbuka by 12.30am... btw, due to all these too, I can't go to the gym anymore...
Then after sending Adib, I'll have another 1/2 an hour or so before heading back to school to pick Sofiah..or on Wed n Thurs , I'll just wait infront of the school as Sofiah finishes at 12.50pm on those days... as usual, I have to monitor her homeworks at 3pm-5pm everyday before we're off for another few rounds of cycling....( this one I insisted coz firstly, I cannot go to the gym anymore. Secondly, during cycling with Adib ..I don't sweat at all...he cycles so slow ...)
Besides all these, my kids have piano lessons every Wed..Izzat at 10am, Adib 10.30am and Sofiah at 2.30pm....Then Izzat n Sofiah both have swimming every Tues, Fri n Sun 7.30pm to 9pm...and Adib too at 6pm o Sun..
Lucky me coz all my kids don't go tuition except Sofiah for English only on Mon 3.30pm to 5pm... so, when do I get to relax???...at nite time I guess after all of them went to bed...thank God, they normally doze off by 9.30pm the most...and if my eyes permit...I'll watch my fav shows on Astro...channels 701, 702,703,707,711 712 n 733 till I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
