Sara Diri

A few days before the end of school, Afiq came back with a consent form to be a ‘Pengawas Pusat Sumber’. He had a week earlier told me with a sad voice that he was not nominated as a school prefect. Which I had replied with this:

‘ It’s oklah. Lagipun mama baru je beli new school uniform kan.’

I had only bought his new school uniform somewhere in the middle of the year. Five pairs of school uniform did cost quite a lot.

By signing the consent form it means a new school uniform complete with new sets of school shoes. Currently he has 5 new school uniform and 4 pairs of white school shoes. (He lost one of his school shoes which we finally found after buying him a new shoes). He needs 5 uniforms to avoid problems when I have to go outstation and has no time to wash his uniform on weekdays.

Before we finally sign the consent form we (hubby & I) decided to test him. Saja-saja…suka-suka…

So we asked him how much money do he has in his piggy bank then we told him that we thought if he really want to be a ‘Pengawas Pusat Sumber’ he might need to come up with the money to buy his new sets of school uniforms & black shoes. Which he took seriously.

He came up with these plan. He will ‘ambil upah’ mowing lawn at TS which is the kindy and Aunty Huda’s house and also Aunty Liza’s house (Sofea’s mummy) plus ours. He was somewhat happy with his plan until I told him how much will it cost to buy 5 pairs of new school uniform plus vest lagi tu.

After dinner mr had one to one conversation with him. Mr talked about the responsibilities which come with the post.

Mr: “ Abang serius nak jadi pengawas pusat sumber?”
Afiq: angguk kepala
Mr: “ Why abang nak jadi pengawas pusat sumber?”
Afiq:” Sebab abang nak tolong-tolong dekat school”

Mr pun cair and signed the form but not without reminding him about the school uniforms issue. Now that mr had signed the form Afiq must make sure he can come up with the money.
While hanging some clothes mr came to me and said:

Mr: “ Guess what is Afiq doing?”
Me: “Apa?”
Mr:” He is doing some budgeting.”
Me: “ La ye ke?”

I went up stairs and dropped by his room.

Me:”Apa abang buat?”
Afiq: “ Buat budget”
Me: “ So cukup ke?”
Afiq: “ Tak…... Aha, I think I know. I can give tuition to Sofea. Tuition sk and tkd.”
Me: “ That’s brilliant” sambil menahan gelak

I smsed Aunty Huda and she replied “Kesian, kecik-kecik dah kena sara diri”

We never thought it will come this far. But again it shows how serious he is on this matter. Btw, a few nights ago entah macamana we talk about ‘stress’ and I asked him “Abang pernah stress ke?” He angguk kepala and said “ Buat budget”.

Ha..ha..ha…We Love You So Much Abang!
