Color blind? and prezzie

==========================

I recall when Nael was around 4 plus when we first have our maid joined our household, it was in 2007 (Nov). His eyes were big and mortified when he first saw our maid. My maid was actually had tough life back in Indonesia where she worked in her sawah bendang dan kerja ladang (we were told) so basically she was overly tanned, boleh dikatakan "gelap". From then on, he always say "Ummi white, papa white, Aidan white, Bibik brown" Each time I hear this I will "shesshhhhh" , "No!!" , " Tak baik cakap gitu ". But I never really stress on that seeing that he is just a kid and maybe fascinated on describing objects with colors.


Then, one day his conversation went like this :-

Nael : Bibik...lepas twelve apa?

Bibik : eight? (with her limited english)

Nael : Noooooo..wrong...Itulaa bibik nie tak tau sebab Bibik brown.

urrgghhh!! *horror*

Initially, we treat it as humour but then until last Friday.....


Moi : Tengah makan and suap Aidan

Nael : poo poo in the toilet and summoned me to clean him

Bibik offered to wash but Nael very adamant that his Ummi yang buat. I was so annoyed and ask Bibik to just do it..Then when they were done, Nael still crying in the room and Bibik told me this

Nael kata " Nael tak nak Bibik wash, nanti bontot Nael BROWN!!"

ROTFL!!!! but then I realised, he was very serious about it. I played along and asked him to show me, he even tunjuk his bare bontot!! What is it with my maid being brown?? *&)(&(^^&^*%$


====================================================

List of things that Nael wanted to give me for my birthday :

1) Donut

2) CD song song

3) Small bottle Not big bottle like in Mak Ngah's room (I think it's perfume)

4) Ultraman

Suffice to say, I received none of the above except for Birthday song and 3 kisses, left cheek, lips and right cheek.

Bolehlah tuuu, I'm touched!

His Big Day

Written on 9th Jan 2008

On the 3rd January 2008, I took half day off just to be with my lovey dovey grown up boy, Nael for his 1st day of school. Not big school though. Remember an incident last year, June 2007 where he was punched by his classmate (too bad I can't refer to my archive). After that gory mory incident, we took him out from K@fa and as expected Nael was very delighted with the idea of not going to school anymore. Basically we were very upset with the principal in how she handled the case plus other things as well which I should not dwell much about them, needless to say, my respect was pulled to a lower scale. In last 6 mths, Nael was confined at home, he was very traumatized esp when you mention about school. Need I say more, he hated school *shudder*. In December, we made up our mind to register him at C3C kindy which is nearby to my mother in law's house, paid everything and we even brought him tour the school. Can you imagine, when were at the school's doorstep, Nael was very shaky and asked to be carried? That show how much he was terrified with 'school'.

So, last week, moi and my other half escorted him to the school, with his oversized uniform, dia buat muka monyok. I had talked to his teacher and briefly explained Nael's character and she assured me everything will be A OK *legaaa*. We stood outside the classroom and from time to time we peeked in, guess what we saw? Nael gave a thumb up HAHAHA....The whole class had an orientation ie: computer room kat mana, toilet mana, sinki mana, swimming pool mana, they had a break with snack and my shy boy even ate 4 biskut lemak!! and rounds of orange juice :P By 10:30am we were at home and this boy of mine can't stop talking about his new school. Yay!! *ummi very the lega*

On 7th Jan, again we sent him to the kindy just to ensure he's comfortable enough with his new environment. Macam tak percaya jer, Nael followed the teacher's instruction well and today he even called my mobile and menceceh how clever he is to be able to write numbers from 1 to 10 hehehe.... Oh yess...he even told me "ka cau (Kah Chau) cried, kesian diaaaa..." amboiiii!!

I just hope and pray that he will enjoy more of his time with his new friends at this new kindy and put all the ugly scenes and unhappy state behind.
