No more games for the boys.

The roads must be jam packed this morning, with the start of the new school term. I, once again, hogged the road at 7 am, like all the other parents do, guai-guai joined the queue to the school, sending the boys off. I was so afraid the alarm wouldn't ring that I automatically woke up 10 mins before it was set to ring. Which was rather amazing, since I slept late the night before, and every mornings for the past 1.5 weeks, I had been waking up at 8+, sometimes 9+, lazing around in bed till 10+. That's the beauty of school holidays, I feel so much more rejuvenated.

The boys didn't make much fuss, korkor said something about fearful of a new class teacher (whom he hasn't met yet!) he and his classmates will be getting today. I think I'm bringing up a sissy here, scared of such trivial things geh? Ish!

They say in unison that they are already missing the holidays. Poor chaps. Are the holidays really that fun? All the time at home only wor? Although, they really had a blast this time playing computer games, Wii games, Ipod/Iphone Angry Birds..for almost the whole freaking day everyday!

Initially, I wanted them to read more books, do some "exercises", not physical ones, but school related ones, but after the first dew days on their holiday homework, they wouldn't want to do anything else related to school anymore! Well, I'm at some fault too, being lazy and ..... lazy.... and .... still lazy (duh! I couldn't think of other reasons)...I just let them do what they want to do!

They are happy! But I am drown with guilt! However, I consoled myself that at the very least, they had a good school holidays at home, and it wouldn't really hurt that much to scrap all memories of schoolwork for the time being. I mean, will they get any less successful when they grow up just because they spent a non-productive week of playing games only? Will they become office boys instead of doctors just because this mom of theirs is not bothered?! *trembling and biting nails*

Well, ok, so this term, I would be more hardworking than ever for them! (listen first!).

I just hope the class teachers warm them up a bit first before drilling them on "listen-write", spelling, ejaan, and oh dear! the second LINUS test that didi MUST pass this time... really freaky, I wonder if he even remembers 50% of those Malay words he learnt before.
