warded at Pantai

Well, after a lapse of almost 4 years, I had the "luxury" of being hospitalized again... for food poisoning! Anyway, it was more for the high blood pressure that kept going up by the minute after I 'reported' at the emergency unit of Pantai... well, I was discharged after 2 nights of sleeping soundly (the doc gave me sleeping pills), and felt refreshed afterwards...

My kids' school days.. so far

It's already mid-Feb, and Aisyah & Qaiyum are already settled in their new surroundings... abang is now the class monitor, and just last week, he mentioned that he might be appointed a prefect, if his monthly test turns out fine.

As for Aisyah, she is now in 1Gemilang 2 (1G2), and has repeatedly told us that she enjoys school. In the first week, she brought along some food from home. However, after realising that she can buy stuff on her own, she began enjoying it and no longer wants to bring food, as she prefers buying things at the canteen. However, in the second week, she did not realise that RM0.30 means 30sen, she thot it was 30ringgit. So she didn't buy any drink cos she only has Rm2. So cute! Lucky that she takes along her tumbler of drinks!

Two weeks ago, we discovered that she has this penchant for "shopping" at the school's bookstore. So far, she has purchased 2 blocks of plasticine, a pen, and a ruler. The dad did tell her not to buy unnecessary stuff after she bought the 2nd box of plasticine. But her reason was that it was for her baby sis. Well. fair enuff. However, the dad blew his top when she was caught lying last week. When asked what she did with her xtra 1 ringgit, she said that she used it to buy a cup of Milo, which cost RM1. Somehow, our darling little spy discovered a new ruler in her sis' bag, and when asked further, she admitted to using the money to buy the ruler.

Hm, I hope this episode will make her learn not to lie... and my wish is that she would learn to be truthful and be brave in facing any consequences of her actions...
