life according to andria - embracing the Big C

My son , Amin came home from school last friday evening looking very upset. He looked like he was about to cry as he pushed his bike. True enough, the second I asked him how was school, he shed a tear. He was beaten up by three form 2 boys. I was shocked.... Beaten up? On his 8th day of school? What surprised me more was that the boy who started the whole thing, kicked him from behind when he was on his way to perform his 'Asar prayer. He was surprised, so he turned & kicked the boy back. The boy then punched his face & when he wanted to punch the boy back, the other form 1 boys stopped Amin from doing so & adviced him to inform the teacher. He then went to look for a teacher & little did he know that the bully followed him with two of his buddies and punch his neck & head from the back. Again Amin was hit & the boys fled. Amin didn't even know the boys. He had never seen or met the boys before that Friday. He told his form teacher but she didn't do ...

Salam. I think it's not too late for me to wish everyone 'happy new year!'. It's already approaching to the third week of January. My youngest daughter, aina, is in standard 1 this year. She was very excited when i took her to her orientation day on the 31st of dec '11. It was me who was a bit emotional. I felt, and still feeling it now, that my daughter is growing up too fast. Not just aina, the other three too. My second son Amin, is already in form 1. On his first day of school i almost shed a tear.... He's all grown up. He's now a young man who is almost as tall as me and he has pimples too... My third son, Safwan is now in std 4 but we still call him 'adik'. He's a bit more sensitive now. I guess it's part of growing up, but he's still chubby and still has his babyface, and he's still manja to a certain extent. My eldest, Amirah, is now in form 2 & she's more cautious of her appearance. She can fit my shoes now. A young l...

Poems by group D (afiq, asyraf, nasarudin) Things People Do Why are some people cruel and rude? So mean and crude They walk all over others And why? I ask Why have they grown so heartless? Why are they bitter and cold? What reason do they have to do that? It is because they've never been told? Maybe someone should tell them That no one truly likes their action Why do some people act As if they've so much better that others? They are no different than anyone else Not a bit different at all God made them with some mold He saw the same love within everyone one of them He made each and every person with equality So when will they realize what they're doing? That their life has gone all wrong? That instead of living a good, nice life They're off by miles long Maybe someday they'll see That they are no better than you or me Now & Then Now… we are happy But then… can we still be happy? Now… we may be rich of money But then… can the money give us happiness? Now… we enjo...

Poems by group C (aisyah, syairah & suhailah) T hings People Do I wake up in the morning I brush my teeth I take a shower I wear clothes I ride the bus Pit pit pit Rapid card I go to class Study study study Back to college Eat eat eat Sleep sleep sleep Now & Then When I was young It's seem the light was wonderful Miracle, beautiful and magical My mom teach me It's like this It's like that I got know I got your love Now I know how to be sensible Logical, responsible and practical And I know when you show me A road that I can be Intellectual, cynical and fluctual Then When you were leaving me alone Leaving me to live half alive Deep took so long just to feel alright Remember how to put back The light in my eyes I really miss The first time you teach me Cause you will never let me go astray Mom Even now and then I will always put you Deep in my heart and soul Forever Lot's love to you Mom
