Pagi pagi

This morning, Hatice woke me up. She said....

*Anne okul zamanı geldi mı?*
(Anne,is it time for school?)

I looked at my watch and saw the time was 6.10am. I told her to go back to bed. But she didnt. She went to the toilet and stayed there for quite some time...singing to her heart's content. When it was 7.30am, i woke up n told her to be prepared for school. I went to the living room and did some ironing while waiting for her. She was indeed taking her time to be readyd...singing and singing...

Then, I heard her chatting with baddin. I guess baddin had woken up to say *bye bye* to his sister..as he always do...

It was then, the bell of the apartment rang. I asked who it was. The answer was...

*çocuklar gelmiyor mu?*
(arent the children coming)

my answer was ..*geliyorlar...bir saniye* (they r coming..please wait a second) while i pressed the red button to allow entry to the apartment door..

I looked at my watch. It was 7.55am!!! I had read my watch wrongly.. one hour early wrong..!! ouch!


I opened the door and saw a panicked sleepy face özlem asking whether the school service had come. I confirmed and in the speed of light, she woke keremcan up and got him ready within 5 minutes. The school service hostess was in front of our door at that time. She was waiting for both of the kids. Haticce quickly tied her hair herself, wore her shoes and went to the school bus hostess' side. While waiting for keremcan to be ready, that sweet hostess lady was saying how sweet n how well behaved hatice in the school bus...etc...etc... it is obvious that she is fond of my daughter...and i know it for a fact that my daughter is indeed in love with this sweet young lady :0)

That is the good thing about hatice n keremcan's school service. If the needs arise..like today, they both were late, the hostess lady would come up till our front door to pick the kids up... on days when keremcan was not around, she would send hatice right till our front home door as well....if keremcan doesnt go to school on a day, i can request (thru the apartment speaker) for the hostess to come n pick hatice up from our front door (hatice is not allowed to go on the lift on her own)...

The kids r protected... There r some school buse service that i encountered that let the kids cross the street on their own. The service hostess doesnt bring the kids to the apartment door... If (Allah forbid)...someone decides to kidnap the kid, one can easily do so in between the kid walking out of the us service till the apartment door...I shudder to think that ...


The conclusion is.. both kids went to school without breakfast heheh..i suppose keremcan will buy something from the canteen during his break ..n hatice..well.. they do give mid morning snack in the mornings...

Just imagine.. next year... baddin will join the school bus... and the year after that, the twins will too.. there will be 5 zaim kids all in the same bus service... they will definitely dominate the bus service in the next 2 years!


Thank You for hopping by...Hope to see u again the next time..

I have a story to share. There was one time we were in an intensive self-development / survival training in Endau-Rompin. The instructors were so strict. It demanded mental, physical and what not, just like para-military thing.
That particular night, we slept as early as 8 pm since we had the opportunity. I thought I still had not enough sleep when our time keeper woke us up. I was so sleepy, and tired. He woke us up telling it was already 5am, right on the dot the time we supposed to wake up. We had all prepared, get ready for actions.

You know what? The time keeper looked at the watch upside down. It was only 11:30 pm. We slept only for slightly more than 3 hours. hehehe... Back to sleep after giving the time keeper a blow.

Simah dear,

Hahahhaha.... lawak laa u nie. :D I think this thing is common among moms.

Anyway, just read your prev entries. Busy laa. SOmetimes I face similar situation, not among the British. Usually from foreigners la. Because the colour of our skin, we are implied to be 'second class' (they usually work as domestic helper).

Tapi takpelaa kan. Rupa mcm kuli tapi gaji mcm boss. :P

Take care dear!

Best nye ada bus service. Kat sini ada but certain area saja. and kalau ada pun you have to go to pick-up point. ..not door-to-door.

Kat sini anak you lahir je dah register sekolah...to guarantee placement. Tu yang anak I sekolah jauh dari rumah...tu pun nasib baik still ada placement lagi.

Hi Simah, I guess you broke the record for dressing them up, huh?
Only yesterday I saw my neighbour running to his daughter's school a block away, he had forgotten to fetch his 5 year old home for lunch. He was late 20 minutes.
He sure had a long lecture from you know who later. Ha ha.
Have a great day, Simah. UL.
