Today is Kakak’s first day of school. Both hubby and I, we were both excited (but, on the other hand, it's ME who is way too excited until my hubby said that he loves watching me more heheh.. over, ok?) and mostly glad because she finally got a place in Sekolah Kebangsaan Putrajaya Presint 8 (2).
The thing is, we just got the offer letter yesterday so just imagine, a day before school starts with no preparation, thus you can expect the panic attacks!! Heheh..
You may wonder why at the last minute? Well, as you readers know Kakak is a special kid and so, they have to undergo an interview before taking Kakak in. During the interview, the teachers informed that there would be no problem with Kakak as according to them she is not that bad so, they told us that we should just wait for a letter for her school placement.
We waited and waited for days, weeks and exactly a month later but nothing reached our post box :(. Hubby decided to give them a call and then, the answer that we got was the letter is only going to be out a week before the session starts and he highlighted that they might not take Kakak due to Kakak is still on her diapers.
At one point, I was so worried. I mean, if she is not accepted to the government school so where else do I send my kids to? She is going to be 7 this year and I surely want her to be following the education prepared by the government.
Every single day nearing the first day of school, hubby and I went up and down, to see the officer in charge, pestering him for the letter. Finally, yesterday we got it.
And, yesterday night after work, we did the school stuff shopping for Kakak, her uniforms, her shoes, her bag, her water bottle and food container, socks and not forgetting, the ‘kapur kasut’. Hahaha…
It’s like a war between me and Kakak. She was so ‘kind’ to give me a really hard time to get her school shoes. She screams her lungs out, she wailed, she shouts, she pulls my tudung, she kicks and hit me but after all that, I am satisfied because I finally managed to get her a pair. Hahah.. Really lega, ok?
And you know what, not only that I was busy preparing for her but I was like thinking of what I should wear to send her today. Hahaha.. and I chose to wear ‘baju kurung’ just so that I can look more motherly and have that very decent looking factor. Kelakar, ok? Anak nak sekolah, mak pulak yang sibuk carik baju nak pakai apa… ;).
And, at last, the day has come. Kakak was a good girl in the morning. Thank god! She woke up although with hesitation and a bit of a tantrum, after taking her bath and all, she was ok and set to go!
Below are few pictures of her the night before and the morning, wearing the newly school uniform:

I can see that Kakak was happy to go to school after staying at home for so long. However, since it’s a new school she has yet to feel comfortable. She is still adapting herself.
This is a picture of her sitting quietly in the class. I was so sad to see her sitting by herself watching her friends but I guess, she is still afraid and maybe shy. Probably have to give her some time. She’s a brave girl. She’s my daughter and so, she will survive ;).
And at 12pm today, her first day of school ended. I can sense that she was tad quiet. But, after awhile I guess, she wants to express her feelings because I think, she was all alone and she had no friends and it’s her first day of being around strangers and so, she started to cry all the way home. As usual, the normal kicking, hitting and pulling took place.
I just hope that all these would end. I just hope that it’s just going to be the first few weeks. I seriously do not know how else to handle her. And plus, when Dedek is joining her on Monday, I just cannot imagine how do I tolerate with both of them in the car kicking, hitting and pulling me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the physical attacks. It’s more heartbreaking not knowing what to do and how to control my own anger and resentment. Crying my self out does not help although it release my tension every now and then.
Next Monday I’ll be seeing a psychologist on that matter. I hope that helps!! Even if not much but a bit as well, will do ;).
All I can do is hope and I will never stop hoping!

Selamat Bersekolah Alya!
After a few days, I think she will be adapting herself to school already, inshaAllah. I have observed that kids are moulded into what are expected of them. Keep the positive attitude, I am sure she will do well :)
