Woke up early kinda a new thing for me. I mean, soo early. Not the kinda so-early. This is sooooo early. Macam kembali ke zaman dulu-dulu. Zaman duk-tunggu-air-kat-pili-belakang-bilik-bawah-tangki-air blok senior. Biasa la tu. Air tak ada. Back in Jasin, air, most of the time, ada je. Tapi bangun pagi sangat-sangat sebab nak avoid shower tu bertangkung. Nanti dah ramai org mandi, penuh melimpah-ruah macam musim banjir dalam shower tu.

Bangun awal one thing. Pergi mandi pagi-pagi buta tak buka lampu and heater is another thing. Tapi cool je tahan air. Dah terbiasa kot.

Few minutes (few laa sangat), the two boys bangun. The father and the baby. Obviously the kecik bangun sebab mommy dah tak ada kat sebelah. I bangun mandi, the kecik heret tin biskut. Asking for help from the daddy.

: Adddddyyyy.. Addyy...

Nak tak nak, kena lah bangun. My sayang said dah banyak makan biskut pagi-pagi buta. Standard la tu. The little ones memang bangun tidur heret tin biskut. Nak tidur, heret the big book. The bigger book, the better. Pesen pelik memang macam tu.

Dah siap mandi semua, my sayang tanya (as expected),

: Awal mandi?

: Nak pergi sekolah.

He..
Actually, I do. Not me exactly. Ni kategori school budak-budak yg kena bangun pagi-pagi utk mandi and minum milo cicah roti Gardenia. Sambil mak bebel-bebel kenapa tak makan tepi-tepi roti. And abah kept saying, pakai la bedak banyak sikit. I know. I'm Cik Tam. Hu..

Zaman bangun pagi and all tu macam dah berkurang. Even masa kelas dekat U pun bukannya bangun as early as bloody 4am utk take shower. If ada meeting ada 9am pun, 8.30 hit shower pun still boleh. Maybe sebab dulu mak bising or the Cik Esah suruh bangun awal mandi. Tapi pelikkan. Masa am the only one kat rumah except mak and abah, nak pergi sekolah, kena paksa suruh bangun awal. Masa duduk ramai-ramai kat hostel, pandai pula bangun awal sendiri, hit shower.

Rasanya dah berbuih duk cakap nak hantar budak kecik tu pergi school. That day, after makan-makan session, pergi la melawat kawasan antara school yg available. Tengok dekat luar je. Cuti haa, nak jenguk apa sekolah. Makcik kantin pun tak ada. First impression,

: Oh. Buruknya sekolah ni. Macam old school je.

My sayang

: Dalam tu cantik la.

Hahaa.. Mengata sekolah orang lain buruk. Tak sedar dulu Gerik and Jasin tu macam mana. TM tu lagi la. Kerusi meja semua yg lama.

Tapi sekolah tu memang dekat with our place. Senang nak menghantar and the mother boleh berfoya-foya ke mall. Eh. Silap. Boleh pergi gim. Like our friends. Lepas hantar anak, the mother pergi gim. Few hours there, pergi school ambil anak. Anak belum masuk primary, boleh la duk gim 2-3 jam. Cuba dah masuk primary. Pagi sampai petang la duk mengadap instructor tu.

Been thinking. Should I or not? Memang la the classes for the kecik only few hours. Tapi bila fikir yg, the kecik's not even 3 years old yet, macam serba-salah pula. Dulu, I masuk tadika pun 6 years old. Bayangkan, 6 tahun dengan penuh manja with mak abah sebab adik-beradik semua dah sekolah. Then later, the Cik Esah and Pok Mat masuk boarding. Kadang-kadang kesian dekat budak kecik tu. So small, yet kena pergi school. Tapi as far as am concern, budak tu memang suka pergi sekolah. Especially when the classmates, 90% girls. Memang. Dasar menggatal tu wujud wayyy before khatan.

If we're sendiing the kecik to the early school, is it good for him? One of my cousins daughter, umur 4 tahun, speaking in English tu tak payah cakap la, dah sah-sah cair macam duduk US haa, tapi she can speak in France. Very well pula tu. Eh, takpe, nanti, the kecik, I suruh dia belajar Arab sekali.

Tu yang pasal school. Belum pasal sessi membuli mommy and daddy. Now, tiba-tiba takut kucing. Macam mana tu? Tak ke haru biru I nak dukung budak 15kg tu everytime nampak kucing?

And

Toilet training aka pampers-less

Boleh percaya muka macam ni, now, REFUSED to wear pampers? Boleh?
