After SPM and then what.........???

Nazmi will be sitting for his SPM  this year, but we are already WORRIED. TENSED. Will he able to make 'it'? To blend into the system in Malaysia. Nazmi never had secondary schooling here, but will have to sit for a very nerve wrecking exam soon. Personally, I don't like this system, but I cannot complain....I/He just have/has to fit in. Nazmi attends tuition from Monday to Saturday. In April, it's going to be Monday to Sunday. We have private tutors giving him personal tuition, or we have to travel a distance for his classes. He has to take Form 4 and Form 5 BM both at the same time, fearing that he might not PASS BM after all.

He has not registered for his SPM with the school YET, but the 'kiasu' me already pencil in his SPM schedule in my diary.


At this moment, we are helping Zul's niece to  look at her options to further study with her exam results. While browsing the UPU and other websites I am alarmed at how 'they' measure abilities, and one's readiness to seek an academic choice. You need a pass in Add Maths or Physics to enter admissions into 'certain' courses that do not require knowledge in both subjects. 


Well, we are giving Nazmi 100% freedom to choose what he wants to do, with a little guidance from us.

I wish for....

Every time I get home from work, I can feel the tense all over my body. How I wish I can just find a masseur to rid of the tense. I'm a lazy hunter. I hate driving to get to the nearest spa, which is in UDA area. For me, it's a long long road to get there. Anga used to give me FREE foot massages, but with his tuition and homework and extra co-curricular activities, it would be cruel of me to ask him to foot massage me. If my darling husband is reading this, why can't you rub my sore back once in a while eh?
