1 more week to go!

As I am writing my entry here, I wonder whether there are readers out there religiously reading to my posts recently; except uan-kun who has faithfully been tagging me as an acknowledgement (thanks uan!) Perhaps it was due to my hiatus that made some readers go away *giggles*.

Alhamdulillah, my mid-term battles were over with the end of my last paper yesterday. However, I've informed dear ustaz (as the coordinator of the programme) to differ my final papers in late March. I feel the urge to actually try to take the papers but I'm not that confident I'll be able to do that during the confinement period as I am still a virgin in motherhood.

Doc approved the leave to be taken on my EDD. Moreover, I will feel bored at home if I were to take a few days leave. Lucky that EDD falls on Monday so I'll have my weekend break as it is also my BIRK break. Yesterday might be the last day of my studies life at this moment.

On a happier note, I received an unexpected home-made card from my P5 pupils. Actually, they were the ones that I have been challenged emotionally every time I enter the door. These challenging kids, if you know what I mean, are usually the ones that'll shower you with unexpected gifts. Despite their behavioural problems and idiosyncrasies, they may actually be the ones that surprise you with all the wonderful things. I will show you the card, albeit simple in my next entry insyaAllah.

The finishing touches...

I have confirmed the date of my leave. Doc said that i need not take any leave a few days before. I'm fine with it cos I didn't want to waste any leave. Moreover, before my actual day are the weekends. So I have a week more to handover stuffs to my relief provided that she'll able to come next week plus other admin stuffs to settle with the pupils as well. ON the hindsight, I was suppose to conduct the workshop yesterday. At the very last minute, they changed it to staff meeting instead of department, so again, I had to postpone the workshop. This is what they say, we plan but God decides. So, next week is the last chance for me to share something because this initiative involves few levels. I can't rely totally on the others because they have their own tasks. Next week, I hope, I hope...

On the contrary, I received the new stroller last Monday from my cousin! So kind of her to present me with the gift which me and hubb had chosen. Thank you K Erlis! Mak also likes the stroller and its functions. No, it's not quinny, heh too expensive to ask them although they wanted to sponsor any brands.

Yeap, I've packed. But don't think I'll be in labour anytime next week. Huhuh. I'll just let this cute lil one hibernate in my nest for awhile.

Oh-oh-oh

At the last stage of battlefield...

This is the current week of rushing hour where I try my best to settle all the paperwork that I can bear. Trying my best too, to bear the lil one here and there. Keep changing positions in class by sitting at one point, and walking the next.

One more mid-term Part 2 to go this weekend and I hope I'm able to meet that day. But those revisions could only be done @ home, on which I'd end up sleeping on the bed and read halfway.

But I'm feeling so syukur, that I succeeded in completing all the 6 days of fasting I missed during Ramadhan. I wanted to complete them before the lil one comes out. Yesterday was my last! Alhamdulillaah.

At the moment, I really drag waking up because I can't sleep peacefully these days. I would always wake up in the wee hours to change sides. Poor hubb would always be awakened by his 'oh-super-extra-load' wife. So sorry hubb!

I thank you some of you who smsed me and asked about my condition and progress. Alhamdulillah I am doing okay so far. The fact that I am not going to take any leave even a few days before means that I just have to persevere although obviously it doesn't get any easier and I admit I am getting lazier to go to work, because I really have to practise 'Fasbrun Jamil' (patience). The kids really play with your emotions and I really pity my lil one having to endure that part. But luckily I am able to balance these emotions once I return home.

Lil one may just pop anytime now! Hehe... do pray for me my dear readers!

Brains and brawns

I spent yesterday night and most of today to complete my 2nd review article. I was torn in the beginning between two but decided to just choose one which is, not that I would say easier, but more to the safer side. The muscles in my brain have sure worked hard almost to the extent of cracking it. I'm not that confident of this piece I've analysed because along the way, the burning sensations of the upper part of my stomach hinders the flow of ideas and thoughts.

This is the best I could do because I have other obligations to complete before I take a break. My brain is just tired of thinking critically as my body is already tired with the weight I'm carrying. But, all this is of course, a sweet experience. I'm trying to organise things before the time comes and I still have another 2 mid-terms to revise this coming week and the next. However, it is unpredictable nowadays that the pain comes and go, and I am feeling more tired these days. To settle it all at work, since January, I've been staying in school till the pakcik switches off the staffroom's light as a signal for us to get out, heh

As the time comes nearer, I am really counting the days. But before all this starts, I just need to carry out some responsibilities given to me at work and make it a reality. Then will only there be a sign of relief.
