The everyday problems of life.

Thanks for the comments nin. Looking forward to our next outing especially so kalau nkau yg belanje hahahaaa. As for your suggestion to download photos..nantile..aku try buat today punye le terkial-kial. Reason being I am not good at this blogging thing. I mean not yet and the fact that the net is so slow.

The day goes by as usual. Nothing much happened at the office.(oh my god my grammar is so rusty..mind the grammar pls!!!!). Apa nak citer today yea? Pasal keje? Hmmm lately ni, i have had enough of the treatment that I am getting from my boss. I have done so much new things, enhancing my reports bla..bla... and yet masa appraisal he actually said that I am not going to be promoted because I am not meticulous and that i made a lot of mistakes.

Yess i admit I am the kind of person who doesnt care much about 0.01 cents adj and i made mistakes but as far as i know these mistakes doesnt give much impact to the reports that i prepared not does it delay the submission of those reports. Come on laaaa....i am a doer...dont expect me to become a perfect checker at the same time. Further more I have a senior exec who will check my work and another assistnt accountant to review (they even sign on those reports okay). So aren't these two suppose to share the blame as well?. Tapi disebabkan yg satu ni kuat membodek boss and the other one is Cha-Ya-Nun-alif...so the big boss just close one eye. When comes to human management my boss really sucks! Okayle enough of this. Benda ni sebenarnye common. You get it everywhere in any office, tapi bila kena btg idung sendiri memang sakit hati.

So now, I am updating my resume. Have sent a few yesterday and hopefully after bonus I ada rezeki kat tempat lain. I know that out there, there will be other problems but at least I have an option. Deep down as a muslim, i believe my rezeki di tangan Allah. I have done what I should do so if that promotion is not mine, then I should redha. But then again as human, aku still rasa bengang giler with my boss.

Nin...dont you feel lucky you dont have to go thru this? I am signing off now. Ngantuk dah. Assalamualaikum to me and to whoever is reading.

Starting point

It is my besfren Nin who encourages me to start a blog. Trust me I am not an internet savvy. So you can say that I am totally ketinggalan zaman. So nin if u r reading this thank you. Unlike you who has all the leisure time to godek-godek the computer, i am really deprived of that luxury. It so happen that tonite cam terasa lak nak pen down something (both mu hubby and children dah tido so takde gangguan). So here goes.....

My son Adam is 7 years old. Just started schooling this year both sekolah kebangsaan and sekolah agama. On top of that he also attends a Kumon english class. For those yg tak tau, is an english tuition with a very interesting approach. When i came back today from work he suddenly told me that he wants to quit the class. I was baffled because he likes it so much all this while. He started going to the class since he was 6. When i asked him why, he explained that he is afraid of the next exercise level, and that he is afraid of making mistakes. I further discovered that my son actually feels inferior to his cousin who happens to be in the same class with him, even from kindy days. Yes, the cousin always get the better results compared to my son.

What i am trying to say here is, my god, my son is only 7 and he already feels the pressure. I convince him that he is smart boy and that i will not be angry if he makes mistake as long as he learn fm them and don't repeat them. I spoke to his tuition teacher and she said that Adam is doing well. Yes he made mistakes but they are minimal. I never forced adam to attend this tuition class. He used to enjoy it because the approach is different from what is being thought in school. INfact i think he has improved so much in his english.

How do u tell a 7 year old that it is alright to have 1 or 2 mistakes, that he should just enjoy his school days or tuition class, that he should not feel inferior if others did better than him, that he is smart in his on way.

Adam asked me " knp adam tak boleh berhenti mama?" . I really dont know how to answer him. I am torn in between, not wanting him to give up every time there is an obstacle ahead and at the same time i do not want to force him into going to this class and not enjoying it like he used to.

I hope he has a good sleep tonite and maybe tomorrow when he wakes up he will find that determination to continue the class and enjoy it.
