Sunday Ramblings
It's a great weekend, so far! Don't you all agree? Yeah, despite the rain for almost the whole day yesterday. Great weather today, not so hot and no rain!
Raimie had a school outing yesterday and off we went to school in the early morning despite it being a Saturday. He got to visit a "kerepek" factory, a nata de coco factory and then, getting all wet and muddy trying to catch a fish (or fishes).
While Son was away, Mommy and Daddy went to Lake Garden for a run. We were late to join the MPIB My First Run Clinic (we attended it twice, so far) but said hello to Jamie when we bumped into him at the playground. He talked about "choosing your running shoes" on Saturday but we gave it a miss because we were late (and too slow to catch up with the others) and I decided to complete a 10K run around the lake and tackling the inclines of the Deer Park 3 times. Zaini chose to forgo the Deer Park inclines and just ran around the lake instead.
Collected Zaini's Putrajaya Night Marathon race kit in the afternoon (I got mine couriered) and went to Bukit Bintang afterwards. I dunno. I think I'll enjoy doing a 42K way more than walking around Bukit Bintang. Two hours there and I was absolutely pooped!
Sunday started early. Woke up at 5.00am but stayed in bed until 6.00am! Ahahah... Made it to Putrajaya at 7.00am. Not too late for a 2 hours' run today. ^^
Started the run with Zaini as he followed my slow-poke pace (3K at 22 minutes slow!) but we parted company after that, as he only wanted to do a 10K and I needed to do a 15K run. Met a number of friendly runners today. ^^
Got back home, shower & laundry time. Brunch. Blog-hopping. Facebooking. Raimie's school uniforms all ironed, thank goodness. All the dishes washed. Now, this:

Cramming time! Raimie will sit for his year-end exam next week. Must catch-up and do a bit of last minute studying. When Son is studying, Mommy needs to study too as she needs to explain the questions that Son got wrong. Can't just tell him he has a wrong answer without explaining why it is wrong, can we? Oh! My poor brain! Am explaining (arguing, more like) those fractions question that he got confused and answered wrongly as I'm typing this.
Nice! Nice! Mother and son bonding! If only all parents like that - often too busy with work and other things, even social activities. No time for their kids. So sad.
ReplyDeleteNo lah Arthur Oppa. Sometimes not so nice because occasionally there'll be shouting involved. kekeke
DeleteI'm not busy mah... No life so can take care of my ONLY son. Have to understand also, some parents have busy life. ;p
Good luck with your studies and your exam, Raimie! ^^ Todai awaits. :)
ReplyDeleteFractions? Ugh. All I know about fractions is that a fraction of a chocolate is never a good idea, and that you should eat the whole chocolate.
Did Zaini enjoy his run? When's the next one?
At the rate he's going, he's definitely not Todai material. Can't even do a decent, neatly written study note. hehe...
DeleteI agree. You should always eat chocolates that way. It'll just be messy otherwise. Haha
Zaini? I think so? We'll be doing our half next week. On Saturday night! ^^
Let's see whether he'll enter more after that. :)
Good luck to your son! You are good mummy and teacher. I have my dad to thank for teaching me Bahasa Malaysia when I was in Std. 2. The foundation pushed me to do well while my other siblings always almost failed their BM.
DeleteI never had my parents helping me with my studies. ;p
DeleteYour Dad terer in BM? How come you ddin't help your siblings with their BM ah? tsk tsk ;)
Good luck.. if your son do well can watch pirate movie.. kakakaka opps .. itu kena umur 18 tahun ke atas .. kakakak
Deletepiak your head! xD
DeleteMy daughter finished her Moral and Bahasa Cina paper yesterday.
DeleteThen the next papers start on 29th, argh, after Hari Raya Haji. I don't know why the arrangement is that way~ but I hate it!
good job..helping out with your son's school work.
ReplyDeleteIf we don't, who else would?
DeleteParents have to take up the role... I have to, no tuition teacher to rely on after school hours.
Deletelooks like a great weekend this Mak Rempit has.. no wonder she has been missing from the HHBC whatsapp over the weekend..
ReplyDeleteson joining the school's 2D1N trip, sure take the opportunity to starfish kaw kaw for these two days i am pretty sure!! hahahaha~~
Deleteactually i am interested to see those kerepek and nata de coco making lah.. did raimie manage to snap some photo from his trip?? share share lah~~
DeleteWhere got starfish session? We were also out, jalan2 around KL. Went for a run, collect race kit lagi, then went around looking for that "cannot-find-size" Puma tights for me all around KL lagi...
DeleteSon didn't bother taking photos. Never bother to buy any kerepek for Mommy and Daddy too! LOL
Minah, itu schedule all siang hari one, night time can become starfish~~
DeleteWhoops! Like that ke? Muahaha
Deletehow was my weekend?? hmmm, i think i have been catching up with a lot of TVB drama series that i have missed, hahahaha!! but then time is still limited, way behind still~~
ReplyDeleteso you were also catching up with some mathematics there?? hahahaha, eih, i thot your brain already rusty, you so used to using the software in office to do all your calculations with just a click of button!!
Deleteare you sure it's Raimie who has answered wrongly, or it's you yourself?? hahahaha, better get Zaini to double-check~~ :D
DeleteIt's work the other way. Zaini will check and mark the workbooks but any explanation is done by me.
DeleteAnyway, why you say ask Zaini to double-check? Because men is smarter than women? ;)
How come all of us had a very hectic weekend?? I was patching all the cracks in my longkang and porch. I also tanam Pokok bunga, pandan, serai and etc like a makcik.
ReplyDeleteWah! Now I know where to find frest pandan and serai!! Just drop by TM's place.
DeleteWhat you use for baja ah? Not your pee, I hope? kekeke
wah annay you tanam so many things?
Deletewhy not tanam those betik, papaya, durian? next time I can go to your house to have fruit feast..
Yayaya... TM, you should. Coconut tree got plant or not? ;)
DeleteCan I ask for mango and jambu air from annay? Kakakaka~ if the baja is not enough, go get from SP :p
DeleteI am very hopeless in teaching any kids school lessons and I hate it. My wife loves it. Anay faints.
ReplyDeleteMe too. My parents once wanted me to work at temporary teacher while waiting for SPM results (I was told by the people at Kem. Pendidikan that I can be a subsitute secondary English teacher with my results. Imagine a 17 y.o. teaching 13 y.o! o.O) but in the end, I refused. I do not like teaching!
DeleteI'm too darn impatient and I absolutely abhor spoiled kids. How? ;)

DeleteTakpe, kita enjoy PNM na... ^^
nowadays .. all parents have to teach son on their school work..
ReplyDeletelast time I only depend on my tuition teacher..
and my mum is very concern and get me a good tuition teacher..
Now parents see over schoolwork (which is good) and send kids to endless tuition. o.O
DeleteNowadays, we cannot just rely on tuition and teachers, parents have to really get involved in kids' study.
ReplyDeleteWe should though. They are our kids and furthermore, nowadays parents are better educated and better equipped to teach our children. Right? :)
DeleteAt my house, my husband is responsible on the academy side, i am incharged of singing, story telling and other talent competition. When comes to exam time, my husband will guide one, and I guide one.
ReplyDeleteThat's good. Dua-dua also involved. :)
DeleteSo envy, my hubb leaves everything to me :( When things go wrong, I blame him, hmpf!
DeleteThis weekend it was like very hectic for me. No time to breath at all. rushing here and there. sigh.
ReplyDeleteFuiyo....good mommy leh...helping Raime with his homework
DeleteI guess this week is exam week everywhere la...even the kiddie asked us to pick up j early this week coz exam week
Deletei hate ironing....2 more yrs will have to start ironing school uniform everyday....sigh
DeleteKucing has four feet.... can afford to rush! wakaka
DeleteBukan homework... study. Raimie doesn't go to tutition classes... yet. xD
Hahaha... have fun ironing all the uniforms in 2 years' time! LOL
I'm glad you had such a fun weekend! But I do feel ignorant. "kerepek" and nata de coco ... what are these? Seems like I ought to be another one doing a spot of studying :)
ReplyDeleteKerepek = chips.
DeleteNata de coco = chewy jelly-like stuff made from coconut water. Fermented coconut water. Think konnyaku. :)
