Exam and school holiday again...

For the past 2 weeks I've been busy again preparing for my kids' exam which has started today. Exam week comes, kepala pun pening....mana taknyer...my dear "Little Miss Play All the Time" ...sapa lagi if not Sofea. Dia buat hal lagi la..U know, study is not in her kamus. "Play" is really her middle name...main, main, main... nothing else...she doesn't have to eat. Play only and she'll survive...a typical 2nd child syndrome she is....ketegak, keras kepala, kuat mengamuk....entahlah seriously I don't know what to do with her.....

Kalau ader darah tinggi la...dah lama I masuk hospital...ish...budak bertuah!!!

There was one day she asked me to send her to the club as her friends were waiting for her at the pool, so I told her,
"Once U finished your Maths exercise, U may go"
(I gave her a few pages of latihan to do earlier)
Then she said,
"Ok Mama"

Know what? right after she said Ok, she continued playing with Adib. As if nothing was said earlier...

Okay, lets forget about d exam...

Yeah!!!School holiday is back! Eh eh.. sapa yang sekolah nih? Mama ke anak2? Why am I excited? well I have many reasons to be excited..

Firstly, I get to plan our school holiday programs for the family & kids.
As usual for the family, its either we go back Penang (in-law's) or checking in into hotel of my choice...err..or should I say the kids' choice...And for this impending school holiday...there's a very likely chance that we get to do both ...clap..clap..clap..

I don't mind going back to Penang though...plenty of activities for the kids ie beach, beach & beach ha..ha..ha.. and not forgetting window shopping at Gurney Plaza ..I really meant 'window' ok and looking for pirated Dvds...oppss!!

As for the hotel, our 'all time favourite' Avillion PD got the highest votes. So we'll be off to PD on Friday 17th August ( nih mesti case dah tak sabar nak bercuti) right after d Friday pray. We'll be back home on Monday 20th, then followed by a kenduri at my Mom's on Wed then maybe on Fri balik Penang...

In between PD & Penang, I tot of taking d kids to the State Library...pity the kids, ever since tak kerja nih, stocking books means we have to wait for the Time or MPH warehouse sale ajer...which happen once or twice a year...our stocking means buying up to berpuluh-puluh buku....so I really can't afford to do it so often anymore....Now everything must get Abah's permission...as stocking means spending over 1/2 a grand $$$$ or so...Seriously, this is another thing that I never regretted doing besides shopping for good quality shoes...

Secondly, I can forget about the my kids' homeworks, exams or anything that's remind me of school...my chauffeuring work, tuition (ponteng sekejap) and cooking. I can just sit back and enjoy hotel foods and outside foods as well...Fyi, cooking can turn into war between me n d kids. All 3 are very d fussy and hard to please!

Thirdly, I get to spend time with Abah....our very d busy Abah...away from his work n golfing...yeah....boleh relax!!!
