The End Of A Chapter
The book is My Life. The Chapter is “Primary School Kids”.
Nah.. I’m just joking! There’s no book in the pipeline. It’s just that yesterday was the last day of Aina’s primary school. Since Aina is the youngest, yesterday too was the last day of me having any child in primary school. How fast they grow!! In fact, from next year onwards, only Mae and Aina will be in secondary school. Bok, will you be working soon? I hope so.
It was a pleasant closure of the “chapter” when yesterday Aina got her UPSR (end of primary school public exam) results and she scored all As (5 As). A week earlier Aina scored “Mumtaz” for her PSRA exam (this one is for the Islamic stream/subjects). Mumtaz is “high distinction”, with her getting As for all the 6 subjects. Kudos to Aina! I think that she did very well, despite missing so many days of classes, and even missing one of her PSRA’s trial exams (yeah, they had 2 or 3 rounds) when she had to follow us in our crazy trips.
I know primary school results are not that important, but they certainly add some “colour” to the kids’ memories of their primary school days.
Suddenly I feel so old. All my kids are grown up. I’d better end this blog with the last “complete” family photo, taken in Oct 2006:
To my new readers,
Standing from left: Nafis (no.4), DH, Ayi (no.3), Mae(no.5)
Seated from left: Aina(no.6), Bok (no.2), me, Nuni (no.1)
we’ll have to wait for quite a while another “complete” family photo because Ayi is still in Canada

Aina did very well indeed! Convey my congratulations to her. Though I started late when it comes to having a family and have half as many kids as yours, I too was glad when last of my kids was in primary scholl. Now all three are in secondary school, F2, F3 and F5.

Yushida,
you have a long way to go, hahaha! Evil laugh tu… Tadika pun belum lagi..
Talking about tadika, almost all of my kids had the same story. They spoke Kelantanese, and at the end of the day the teacher would ask me “Kak, anak kak cakap Kelantan ya?”, my reply would be “ya, tapi kenapa?”, then the teacher would say, bila saya offer dia air/biskut/pencil/etc dia jawab “Tok ser…” LOL!
Ezza, alhamdulilla,h setakat ni ok lah semuanya… Tp masih jauh lagi perjalanan.. Bok? Dia praktikal kat Penang, dan jarang2 bacq my blog
.
Nury, eh, that’s right, your kids finished the primary school phase before mine!
Ayi, my MC tu mmg magical, sb kadang2 ada “power”, dan kadang2 takde power, so please take good care of it!! Tak payah balik for family photo, kita “photoshop” je, or maybe use “Picasa”. K Nuni shd be good in it.
