Hari ni I was busy tolong Fid jaga PA system. Buat rehearsal bagai. It was so Fun. The kids were just so adorables. Seronok tengok diorang bersemangat buat persembahan. Bile kena puji je...masing masing lagi bersungguh menari. Tengahari I took a break sebab nak kena fetch Ej from school. I reached the school early.
At 12.00 noon masa budak semua dok keluar dari sekolah. I saw ada sorang budak berpakaian pengawas bawa hadiah. Salah satunya patung chicky from KFC. Yang hampernya pulak ada kertas bernombor 1. Tak lama lepas tu sorang lagi budak bawa hadiah hamper with kertas bernombor 2. Masa tu dalam hati dok berkata kata...ohh..misha tak menang la gamaknya. Mesti memek muka frust nanti dia tunjuk kat aku. Dok fikir kena beli ice cream to cheer her up. Usually it works...Ej and Ice cream are close buddy.
5 minutes later, Misha pun turun. Surprisingly tangan dia penuh dengan hadiah. Memek muka dia berseri seri full of satisfaction. She was walking with pride dengan senyum meleret sampai ke telinga. Jalan pun cepat macam ghairah nak tunjuk kat aku dengan Fid her latest achievement. Rupanya the winner yang I saw earlier untuk darjah 5 dan 6. EJ won for darjah 4 punya category. Alhamdulillah...I am proud of her.
Tengok la memek muka dia...tak leh blah kan. Happy sesangat.
It shows clearly in this photo kan.
Actually, I am proud with Fid jugak sebab always support EJ punya interest. Kalau ikut kepala angin aku, tak merasa la EJ nak tunjuk bakat dia masuk contest semua ni. One or two weeks before her exam, EJ balik from school mintak permission nak buat essay tajuk "My Best Buddy" sebab nak masuk contest. Pastu dia dengan excitednya cerita kawan dia menang last year and dapat banyak hadiah. Aku masa tu dengan bengangnya terus cakap. No...jangan nak ngada. Exam lagi seminggu patutnya guna time untuk ulangkaji...bukan 2ndary stuff macam ni sumer. Bla bla bla aku bebel. Masa tu jugak EJ setiap hari dok mention hari bakat, dia nak masuk menari semua. Tu yang aku bengang sebab revision apa pun tak buat sibuk dengan benda sampingan semua ni. Ej was so upset and monyok for few hours.
Being EJ, one of her perangai...she is quite persistant. Few hours lepas tu...she came to me and said. Kalau lepas dia dah siap study semua, boleh tak dia buat essay tu? I straight away cakap Yes. She even question why I said No earlier. Kena la aku explain bagai pasal tugas utama dia as a student kena belajar. bla bla bla. Masa aku dok bebel earlier...memang ada rasa menyesal sebenarnya sebab terus shut down dia punya enthusiasm. Her frustration masa tu memang terserlah. Tapi memang terpaksa. Kalau tak nanti she will carry away dengan perangai dok spend too much time dengan benda benda 2ndary sedang kan homework, revision semua dia dok cincai buat. Tu yang aku nak elakkan sebenarnya. It is so difficult to be a parent in this millenium era kan kan kan. LOL.
The next daynya, after school Fid took EJ to Jusco beli paper yang cantik and few accessories macam labuci, rama-rama, beads, colourful strings dan lain lain. Malam tu jugak lepas siap revision, EJ buat essay pasal "my best buddy" dia...anak kawan aku yang sama sama pergi Bali and Singapore tu. Her name is Sabrina. Ej cerita sikit description about Sabrina, their trip to Bali and Singapore pastu both of them suka makan KFC etc. Lepas dah siap dia tunjuk kat Fid her Idea untuk decorate paper essay dia. Lepas tu dia rewrite balik her essay kat kertas cantik tu and siapkan deco macam yang dia plan. Too bad...we did not snap any photo of the essay.
All her hard word has paid off. Congrats to EJ.
