My week with grandparents and children...

Assalamualaikum & Good Day Everyone (^_^)

It's been awhile since i wrote here in this blog of mine. Without the aid of internet and most of all a computer it's a no wonder why i can't update my blog. My siblings always used the computer and yeah, i've pretty much did not get a chance to update my blog.

As usual, the view from where i stand is dull. Only last week it's a good one. Mother bought me and my family to the hotel to see the fireworks and decorated boats in conjunction for the Hari Malaysia previously held here in Sarawak. I did not get to go to the waterfront though due to the rain that night but no worries, there's live broadcast on the TV. I can see the boats from my hotel window. The boats are beautifully decorated plus i think they did a great job for this year's Hari Malaysia celebration.

Aside from that, I've been unemployed for the past nearly 6 month. (Sigh).... Well, it's not easy to find a job. I've been looking through here and there plus sign up for various positions in various job seeking website. So far, no reply and no luck... I told myself that i cannot give up now. there's still 3 more months before the start of a 2014. If that does not work, I'll continue my studies. that was the plan. I send my resume here and there but it seems that there's no vacancy yet. No worries, I'll get by...

All in all, i hope all things go well for me and my family. Grandmother is not feeling well and her maid goes back to her hometown that week. To add to my loneliness, mother and father is away and they're still in Kuala Lumpur.  They will be attending my little sister's graduation performance which will be held in Seremban. Oh, forgot, the other week ago, my little sister had just finished her SPM production. She and all her friends were great during the play. I'll upload the pictures soon. I can't upload them yet because it was stored inside another computer that my sister used. She's still in campus by the way.  I'll upload them later. =)

So practically, with no driving license, i'm stuck here at my grandparents home. But, it's okay. When her maid was away, i became the temporary maid and help with all the heavy chores and daily works that needs to be done everyday. Not only that, My house was also in need of a look out and cleaning. I have to take care of both houses (my own home as well as my grandparents). Although the work was tiring but i think it was a good training. Besides, I'm used to the cooking and cleaning, and babysitting thing. Plus, among all the grandchildren of the house, i think i spend more time with my grandparents more then their own did as well as the other grandchildren.

Truth be told, this week made me feel i'm practically a married person. Hoho, Scary lah! (>_<) With kids and toddlers running, playing, making huge messes that got my voice in nearly high mode plus, to give me more headache they're all male. (sigh) All four of them are tough to handle. Who said it was easy handling four sons anyway? sometimes they can make me go completely nuts like i want to pull my hair but But still i enjoyed their fun filling company in every way and i also learned a lot from them. The best part about them is they're very much interested with history. Kids these days don't often love history but wow, this one does. I'm very surprised with that when the eldest one flipping through the pages of history books of a form 3 students (belonged to my little brother). He came to me and ask a lot, i mean a lot of question regarding history. A challenge i gladly answer to him in the form of a story.

In his eyes, i can see that he began to understand things and that is crucial. If a child ask you questions, never be afraid to answer. This is because their brains are learning. We need to encourage them to explore their surroundings in order for them to gain knowledge. No children is ever stupid. They are bright and talented in their own way. Some parents are just ignorant of their children's well being and education. Remember, we are once a children too and the feeling that they have in them, we once had it too. That is why education at home plays very, very important role. It is important for not only parents, but every single man and woman in this good earth must equip themselves with knowledge and experience on family matters. If you have kids of your own one day, with the knowledge and experience you have things will go smooth. Believe me as I've been through one.

One of the few things i learn is being a parent is never an easy task, especially for the children of this generation. It's a real job. Children are innocent and they are every parents greatest asset. They're always curious with their surroundings and tend to follow what people do. Teach them the good way, seriously, they'll make you the proudest person in the world.. but more importantly, teach them with great patience, love and care..

I'll continue my job hunting. If all goes well, i might get hired. In Shaa Allah. Well, i'd better be going. I got some work to do. Don't worry, I'll write soon. Till then dear readers..=) Moga Allah merahmati anda selalu (^_^)

Wasalamualaikum wbt
