'Kenangan Abadi'


FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Hanna bersiap ke sekolah dengan Abang Haziq

A new chapter of life experience for Hanna Syakira binti Mohd Hanif and the rest of newly registered students for Year One, and they are the first to adapt with the new syllabus (PBS), again......

Hanna was very excited and hopefully she will and be able to cope with her new episode of life. This afternoon she experienced it differently from the other siblings, without papa around...


.Many parents were present to witness their children.



Ibubapa yang terlalu 'excited'
Before going to bed the boys did their homework and Bahasa Melayu is used for Mathematics and Science.  I instructed Syakira to coach Haziq at home instead of paying to the tuition centre. Apparently, she found it difficult to teach Haziq Mathematics in Bahasa since she did it in English before. 

 I have just helped Hakim to do his Maths homework (Year 4) on the topic Whole Number. Hakim was confused to understand the term "Nilai Digit" and "Nilai Tempat" instead of 'Digit Value' and 'Place Value' which he was thought and familiar with for the past 3 years in Tahap 1 (Year 1, 2 and 3). All of a sudden it is changed to Bahasa in Tahap 2 (Year 4,5 and 6).

The system leads to confusion and students need to adapt with the change in the middle of their learning process which I personally think its unfair. It is probably fine to those who can afford to send for extra tuition classes but not everyone can afford to do so for every child, just like me.

 "Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam, biarlah sampai ke pangkal lengan". It is wiser to continue with what has been exposed and taught so until the end (Tahap 1 & Tahap 2) instead of changing it in the middle of the learning process as though they are migrating to somewhere else.

I really hope the new change will somehow results a positive outcome especially for Year 1 students and to continue until they complete both Tahap 1 & 2 in Bahasa Melayu without the need to change to other language (back to English or Mandarin, etc..) again, again and again.....


Anyway, I guess Hanna has been missing arwah for the past few days when I heard her talking and mentioning about arwah. She will never miss  reciting Surah Al Ikhlas everytime passing by Tanah Perkuburan Bukit Badak. Yesterday after coming home from Restoran Hakim, Shah Alam with Uncle Ai, Aunt Lely and her cousins, she approached me and said, "mama tadi masa lalu dekat kubur papa, hanna baca dekat papa"....She always remind us of arwah although it has been almost six months.Al fatihah......

"Semoga Hanna dan kakak2 serta abang2 berjaya dunia dan akhirat dan tidak lupa mendoakan arwah untuk selama-lamanya".

ORIENTATION DAY

It was around 8.30am when Myra called reminding me about the orientation day.  Thank you so much.  Hanna was a bit late but alhamdulillah she managed  to join the others sitting for the placement test. All the best.

On the way to school she said to herself "papa hanna pergi sekolah ya".That was a true reminder to me that she misses arwah a lot......

Never say goodbye

LIFE OF PI just ended. An outing with all five of them today 12/12/2012. A story with full of emotions. believes and challenges to survive.  The last conversation touched my heart (it was something like this), " I cried because I was left without any say or goodbye........and  it broke my heart....." .
I felt the same way that very day (11/07/2012, 2.30pm), now and forever....

Life Management

Upon the demise of arwah last July, there have been many obstacles and issues that I have  faced and in fact still a lot to settle. For whatever reasons life has to continue and resposibalities as mama and papa go on. It was like solving a set of complicated jigsaw puzzle with no clue at all. From day to day, I patch them back accordingly although the procedures were quite detailed and very time consuming. Its  about time to share with everyone.

When arwah Hanif left, I was a housewife, quitted my full time job in 2010. The first thing in my mind was how to survive and raise my five children. It was a scary and confusing feeling. I felt unsecured. Sufficient fund was the main issue and to get back to work was quite challenging. I then thought it has to be a starting point and a check list was prepared.

SOCSO office was my first visit. As a private sector employee it is very important to inquire and refer depending on case to case basis for example the total contributions made and the amount entitled for. The SOCSO website is always availabe for reference.


Alhamdulillah as for arwah's case, it was a favourable feedback.

When it was informed by SOCSO regarding the entitlement,  it was a relief to me and family. Nevertheless the officer claimed there are still many single mothers who are not aware about SOCSO. I hope my blog will at least create awareness to single mothers like me on the benefits and rights we should deserve.

Hope tocontiue in the next post.....

It was a double celebration and all of us gathered at the Island BBQ steamboat yesterday evening.

A very Happy Birthday to Mak/Nenek/Mak Unggal/Tok Unggal Saoma on her 78th Birthday. We wish you all the happiness in the world and may Allah bless you with iman, taqwa and good health.

It was also the 24th (I hope I'm right) Wedding Anniversary for Akak/Buji and Acik. Wishing you both moments of joy and happiness with dreams and memories that cherish your life, always......I am happy for both of you. As for me, I never thought my 18th.Wedding Anniversary last March (31/3/2012) was the last one.....

Everyone enjoyed the Island BBQ Steamboat buffet. A very convenient and nice place for family gathering. Located in Kg.Melayu Subang. The price is reasonable, RM22 for adult and RM10 for kids. Kids below 5 years eat for free. One of the places visited by 'Jalan-jalan Cari Makan TV3' as well. Further info. can be obtained from the webside below.
