Tution or not tuition

Couples of days ago, KnK aka Khairil and Kiran on their famous Pagi Di Era made a topic of whether or not it is best to send your kid for tuition on this long school holidays.

Very interesting subject and responded very well from the listener. I do not want to make comment on others opinion as I focused on child development of my own kids.

Last night I send my Kid for tuition. It cost me RM 240.00 for this one month. I am sure its worth the money.

The reason are as follows:

1. My kid was a prefect and often time prefect always got out of the class 5 minutes earlier then the rest. The problem is teacher usually gave exercise at the last minute they teach the kids in class. Therefore he missed a lot of exercises and information on subject been taught in class.
2. Tough my kids still maintain A's in his core subject, his position has dropped from number 5 to 10. I can say that I didn't have ample time to teach him during Ramadhan. We both go for Taraweh. I wish this is not the reason my my kid has dropped places. I am prone to believe that he has missed a lot of his time during schooling.
3. This would probably the main reason why he has dropped places in class. He plays when studying and when at home he always poking his nose to the computer monitor's. He likes to play SIM City. Many times we scolded him. Well..............kid will always be kid........Ayahnya pun sama suka main Championship Manager
4. I do not know about others. Many says we shall give our kids a break. Its true but with the competition is high, his dream is at stake if he cannot cope with the tense situation. I hope giving him time to study more will open his eyes that this world does not wait you to understand a lot of thing. Give him the knowledge so that he prepares to face the world. Let him know that.
5. Every endeavor will comes with rewards. Have you heard a phrase from Napolean Hill - Effort only releases its reward after a person refuses to quit. This is the phrase I want to sink to my kid minds. If he study more, never quit, the result shows and you'll be rewarded and you never know what rewards await you that time.

So I reckon, it will be benificial if I send my kid for tuition. At least he understand that we are serious about education. We live in the knowledge-base era where people explore the world and universe with intelligence.

Open House......Patut ker tak Patut Buat

Beberapa hari yg lepas memang aku kenyang. Kenyang makan dirumah 2`3 orang dan sampai aku tak pegi rumah org lain la pasal dah tak larat. Satunya macam ular sawa, dah kenyang memang la nak tidur, keduanya anak aku pun sket sket nak meragam. Tapi time ni la aku tengok dia makan banyak sungguh.

Jiran2 aku sampaikan usik duduk depan rumah tapi macam setahun tak jumpa. Mana tidaknya, kalau tak program dengan keluarga, aku keluar ke rumah kawan2 *** atau kawan aku ataupun ke kawan2 blogger baru. Memang la tak sempat nak borak2 dengan dia orang.

Aku seperti tahun2 yg lepas memang kerap kali menjamu org semasa syawal. Memang niat aku nak menjamu org makan. Untung2 murah rezeki aku. Ada juga yg aku kenal membuat jamuan semata2 nak menunjuk. Konon konon duit dia masih banyak lagi walaupun dah perabis banyak masa sebelum raya. Ada memang siap mengaku 'aku kalau buat makan2 kat rumah aku tuh maksudnya adalah yang aku dah ubah suai kat rumah aku. Kau ni macam tak paham pulak'.... Paham, bukan tak paham...... aku, kalau dia buat macamana atau apa2 pun aku memang cuba cari masa nak jumpa dia. Bukan pasal nak tengok kehebatan rumah dia tapi lebih nak senyum kosong dengan dia. AKu panggil dia Papa Jarum.....Internet bergerak di Bangi... kekekeke..... nasib badan ko lo F*****.

Ada juga yang bila sampai kat rumah.... Hey **** dan ***, kau kalau masuk rumah aku dah tak payah bersila dah, aku dah beli baik punya couch, settee bla bla bla....... Pergh Tapi suka hati ko la. Memang ko dah banyak duit.........suka hati ko nak buat apa.

Aku memang suka jamu org makan. Kalau org kata aku saja nak nunjuk, tak boleh kot kata begitu. Sebabnya masa aku menyewa lagi aku memang buat open house. Malah bila aku beli rumah murah aku juga ada buat open house........kalau aku nak menunjuk, takkan bila ada ada rumah besar, baru sekarang nak menunjukkan.......aku tak perlukan rumah besar kalau aku nak buat open house. Aku tahu ramai org seikhlas aku bila menjamu org. Spt semalam aku kerumah jiran aku, *** tak dapat ikut pasal anak aku meragam, jadi isteri tuan rumah pun tanya kpd aku knp *** tak datang, Dah lama dia tak berborak dgn *** melainkan kalau ada kenduri besar di lorong rumah aku. Jadi memang aku nampak ia seakan perjumpaan sosial yg pada masa2 tertentu dan bersebab kita boleh berborak dengan Jiran2.

Cuma tahun ini, tahun ini tak tahu samada nak buat atau tak. Sebabnya:

1. Setiap hujung minggu satu hari dapat 3~4 jemputan Open house......Aku nak jalan2 kerumah depa. Nak borak2 dengan depa.
2. Jiran2 aku sendiri pun sibuk dok buat open house. Last2 nanti kalau aku buat Open House, aku dok tunggu depa, depa dok tunggu aku, tak ke haru begitu nanti.
3. Pembantu rumah aku tak ada, sekarang nih pun tercungap cungap settle kan daily chores, ni kan pulak nak buat open house. Sedara mara kata takkan susah pasal abg aku buat catering. Catering senang, nak mengemas tuh yang buat aku nak MC seminggu tuh.
4. Aku rasa la kan, kenapa nak tunggu open house baru nak datang rumah. Datang la bila2 aku tetap jemput masuk rumah. Org pakistan yg jual karpet masuk kedlm rumah tanpa dijemput pun aku tak halau depa, inikan pula sedara mara dan kawan yg aku kenal. Tepon awal adala benda sedap yg boleh dihidangkan. Kalau muncul tiba2 pun aku tetap jamu. Special delivery dari Restoran Pak Ngah ada.....tak perlu risau.

Tapi la kan.......meriah open house tak sama kalau datang sikit2. Ni yang buat aku dalam dilema. Open House...... Patut ker tak Patut Buat
