Ridzwan 1st Birthday!

About 2 weeks before his birthday, I decided not to have a fanfare for his 1st Birthday. It was a hard decision. Parents usually would go hippo happy to do their child’s 1st birthday. After much consideration and experience from Rahmat’s 1st birthday, I think Ridzwan will not remember or know what’s happening. So I settled for mini celebration with both side of parents on 2 separate days.

Hi. I'm Ridzwan Yusri!

School

Warning: late entry due to mummy's busy schedule :(

Different environment, new teachers, new friends, new learning concept and approach, I think its too much for a 4yr old to accept.

I was anxious and worried the night before. Checked and re-checked his bag couple of times, making sure I've packed all. I hope he'll like this school, friends and teachers. Learning from the mistake we made with the previous childcare, I want to ensure and help him adapt well.

The day started early. Woke him at 630am and got ready. Left home and took the 740 train.
(Rahmat's mood: excited and chatty. But half thru d journey, he got tired and just sat down, quiet. )
Reached the place, showed him around and explained that this will be his new school, teachers and friends.
(Mummy's mood: worried but optimistic.)


Hang around in the class while allowing Rahmat to warm up. Soon enough he is playing with his new friends. Seeing that he is ok so far, I asked "mummy go work ok sayang. Later mummy come and fetch you home." Kissed him and left.

Outside the class, I peep through while trying to hide away, he seems ok. I hope.

Smile!

“No one size fits all”

A lecturer shared on how there is no such thing as template replies. Each reply to a letter should never be the same although they are asking the same question. I believe it applies to marriage too. Each married couple goes through or handles their marriage differently. 1 same scenario/situation can be handled or assessed differently. Goldern rule for newlyweds: Compromise. Not an expert just sharing.

I’m into my 7th year anniversary in June 2009. I won’t lie. Journey has not been smooth but it’s worth it. All the heartache, the shouting, the sadness & many more but it’s all worth it. I learn from it. Well, I try and still trying. I’m not perfect.


btw, i wonder the 7year itch is real?
