away from home..

When my hubs was attached to his ex co. years ago, I was so used to be left alone, tend to my kids and do things on my own whenever he went overseas. but since he joined the car maker co., couple of years ago, he rarely been away from the family and that makes me and the clan happy. but there are times when he needs to travel but it's only within the country, so, not too bad. and this morning he left for Kota Kinabalu for 3 days. Naik belon, bah!! see you on saturday, dear!!

it's been almost 8 months since my eldest left home to be where she is now, in a boarding school. some people might not agree with the idea of getting their child enrolled in boarding schools at a very tender age. but me and hubs certainly have thought about this way earlier. we love our kids and want the best for them, both in providing them good education for dunia and akhirat. jadi insan yg mulia disisi Allah terutamanya and disisi masyarakat Insyaallah. but it doesn't mean that all the kids are the same. we, as parents just need to mould them, give them freedom to choose their own way..but of course with substantial guidance so that they won't stray..as for my eldest, she wanted to be in a good school..nevermind if it's a bit far from home. She thought she's ready and she was excited to be in a new environment.  

I didn't shed tears when i bid farewell to her but deep in my heart, I was crying...was thinking whether my move was the right one! but i kept telling myself that maybe she needed some time to adjust...she'll be just fine. weeks gone, series of phone calls, tonnes of text messages came in. Her emotions was like a roller coaster. One minute she's telling us she's fine, and she cried the next!  RM flown away like angry birds, and boarding schools nowadays don't come cheap, mind you! so, we gave her time. I told her to make friends right away so that she won't feel alienated. 

Long story become short, she's happier now. She loves the best of her both worlds. Loads of stories or girl talk stuff awaits me whenever we meet and she longs for her school friends whenever she's home! boarding school is actually fun and full of bitter sweet memories, so I heard! that's what my hubs told me whenever we talk about his alma mater. He said that's the best memory he has so far. I've never been away from home, not till UITM but I was 17/18 at that time. Well, I hope my eldest girl (we call her kakak at home) will succeed in whatever she does, Insyaallah she'll be doing fine there. Me and the rest of the clan will definitely support her. Infinity.

till now then, toodles!!!
