So much in January 2017

2017 is a meaningful year. 

It is a year of beginning.

It's a year of change.

It's a year of transformation.

Sara Hana is now 7 years old by year. She's now in Standard 1. Time flies.Yup I noticed. My little princess is growing up and now she's a primary school student.

So the first two weeks at school went smoothly. Alhamdulillah. It was beyond our expectation. Sara, she didn't cry a bit. She was all smiles. The school organized a two weeks transition for newly enrolled students; to get the students familiarized with school environment, to get used to the dedicated assembly area for each groups, to get to know with their classmates and teachers, to 'teach' them how to buy foods at the canteen, etc etc. So being such a "worry and anxious" parents, we were there for the whole first week. We were there when she had her first assembly before she off to classroom, and during her recess too. Of course we have to be there. We want to witness our first child's first experience's of every new phase in her life (and our first experience too-as parents). And on top of that, we want to make her feel secure and confident with our presence. We were just monitoring her from afar. Just to make sure everything is okay for her, and alhamdulillah she can handle things on her own. Oh c'mon. That's what every parents do right! Haha.

Now that we are involved, I totally agree with having transition weeks. At least they have an ample time to adapt to the school environment which is totally new to them. And also, knowing that going to primary school may somehow might gives some 'nerve' to the children, so I believe they have to be taken care of very well, that we parents have to serve them with extra love and extra attention so that they will not feel demotivated or down. Ye la why not first or 2nd day jengah2 tengok ok ke tak dia kat canteen, makan ke tak, kot sesat ke kan. Hehe. So during first two weeks tu tak boleh la marah2 dia, layan je apa dia nak albeit it makes you furious. Hahah. Swallow it and you'll be fine.

Ok.
So Sara is going to two school. Morning she goes to sekolah Kafa until around 11. And the she's home for lunch and shower and a little rest and off to primary school aroun 12:35 and back at around 6:40 and reach home around 7. Tu pun termasuk singgah kedai beli crackers or singgah beli uncle bob. The routine will go round and round until she's in standard 3. Lepas tu standard 4 primary school pagi pulak. And then the story will still continue but it differs.

And then after 1 week, Sara came home telling us she has friends named this and that. And stuff she did at school with her friends, etc etc. Now that she has friends in class, they eat together, and they walk together, it gives us a HUGEEEEEE relieve. But then, knowing her..Sara ni rileks je kalau tgk dia makan bekal dia sorang2 she'll still chill. Bila kita tanya Sara tadi makan duduk dengan siapa. She said "Sara dok dgn kawan Sara la.Tapi Sara tak tau nama dia. Dia bukan class Sara". or sometimes she will answer "Sara duduk meja boys. Tapi ada kawan sara la class sama." and "Tadi Sara beli air laici dengan kawan Sara. Senang je beli. 1 ringgit je" Hahaha. Okay. So chill and brave! That's my girl. Thumbs up. :)

So that's more or less about it. Apparently I have a lot to tell but so little time. I will write more this year. More about Sara, Adib, and us. InshaAllah.

So I ended with pictures of Sara during the first week at school.
