School Refusal

It started 2 weeks ago when Aqeel refuse to go to school. I thought maybe he was sleepy because that day he woke up as early as 5.00am. So I let him stay at home. The second day, still refuse to go to school and since my dad is not feeling well, they did not force him to school as well.

But on the third day the same thing happen, I start to wonder what is happening. I start googling how to handle kids that refuse to go to school or is it an early symptom of anything. Yes..I FREAK OUT. 

So many results came out, and most of it require us to get advice from paed if the refusal prolong for more than 1 week. So I waited...

The next day, my dad force him to school and he cried there. The teacher advice my dad to just let him stay in the school and they will try to comfort him. A few minutes after that, he stop cried but still refuse to enter his class. Being a PANIC mother, I bugging the teachers a few times a day, everyday..

I even asked him why he refuse, because for me he was not like this before. Last year we sent him, he never show refusal till this extend. Same school, same teacher, and even same classmate (his cousins). So I start to think that maybe he saw something in the classroom or whatsoever because u know little kids can see what adult cannot see.

So I start to think of every possible reason and until know I just dont know why. But he improve a lot this week. He still cried when dad send him but once seeing the teacher he stop. He even enter the class as usual.

Hopefully by nextweek he will be 100% ok since it is bugging me everyday try to think any possibilities of his refusal.

Thank you to the teachers for helping me getting through this. They make it easy for me by giving extra attention and try to comfort on him. Hopefully it works.

Langkawi Break

So beside of my busy life at work (it only busy during audit time), I still manage to apply for a leave. It is a last minute plan together with my parent. 

We start the journey at 4am for KL to Kuala Kedah and manage to get there by 10am. Little that we expect everyone is also going there since it is a long public holidays. So we only manage to grab for a ferry tickets at 1.30pm..

It is a long waiting with the three uneasy kids screaming, crying and running here and there..I really pity my husband having to carry all 5 bags with him since the jetty is out of trolley. Luckily, when we arrive, there are a lots of trolley available so we take 2 for convenience. 

We stayed at Farisya Homestay. For whoever travelling to Langkawi with the whole bunch of family, I would recommend you to contact this guy, Faizal.

It is soo spacious with air conditioning all over the house. The house is also very clean and he even provide with extra mattress and pillow. 4 bedrooms available with 3 bathroom.

At night, we went to this recommended seafood restaurant name Bamboo Beach.

Husband ordered Ikan Siakap Tiga Rasa, Sayur Kailan, Sotong Tepung, Tomyam Seafood and Ketam Black Pepper with Watermelon Juice all for RM159.

I find it really cheap if you compared it against Melaka's famous seafood place.

No pictures captured since we were all horribly hungry and all we could think of after food is sleep.

Just a lesson for everyone, do not go to Langkawi during public holidays. You may go there during school holidays but not public holiday..it is horrible and worsen with lots of people and all you could think of is just return back to your home. We do not even go to cable car or underwater world since the queue is mad. I think we will only get to the counter after 2 hours of queuing. So we say No to sightseeing and straight to shopping.
 
We bought 1 full box of chocolates and stop there when rethink that we might have to carry all the way from ferry to the terminal. If we do not think of that I guess husband would ended up buying 2-3 big boxes instead.

Since it is short notice holiday, we only manage to book the homestay for 2 nights. All hotel and most homestays were fully booked.

Now, I have to plan my future trip to Phuket. Hoping it's gonna be a relaxing one.

Happy New Year!!

I know it is already late to wish everyone Happy New Year..but better late than never right...lately I have been occupied with mountain of works with deadline lining up and entertaining auditors..I went back late on 31 December and even have to work on New Year. I just found that the fireworks really annoy me since I could not celebrate or stay up just to celebrate it.

I work on both days on the first weekend. Yes I know it is soo not cool...But my life is much better here rather that during my auditor time..I just dont know how I survive those days...

Wishing you all greater year ahead and hopefully it is better than last year. For me it is already a good beginning...praying that it will be much more better through out the year..
