The story? She fell while running with a few friends in the playground - what more can I say? She came back that day with cuts on her face and knee. Gladly the teachers had cleaned the cuts and put a band aid on her knee.
Did I mentioned about the Burns Week? Among the activities are recitation of Burns' poems. Though Mia entered as well, she did not win for her category (but she's OK with that - she forgotten the two middle lines of Cat & Mous. However, Danish & Hakim are much luckier - they received the Certificate of Merit from the Robert Burns World Federation Limited.
Danish did not just won the Certificate but also chosen as the Pupil of the Week. He recited the Robert Burns poem entitled "Address To A Haggis". Hakim recited "A Dug A Dug"
This makes me wonder though. Perhaps, our schools back home should celebrate our own Sasterawan as well - how many of our younger generations today have read the writings of Usman Awang, Tongkat Waran, Khadijah Hashim and Arenawati to name a few? Maybe some efforts has to be taken to do these Sasterawan justice....
Happy belated birthday Mia. May all your wishes and dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteSian her face and knee calar balar. I guess kids will be kids kan, bruises and cuts tu perkara biasa for them, no matter where they are :-)
And congrats again to Hakim and a wow congrats to Danish for being chosen :-). You've got poets in the making!
Salam LG :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind wishes :-D Mia memang lasak & jarang duduk diam except when she's drawing or painting. Actually lutut tu rasanya tak pernah clear - almost every week ada cuts, paling tak pun scratch - lagi dahsyat pada abang2 dia!
And thank you again. I pun tak sangka dia orang menang - baru je dia orang start sekolah 18 Jan baru ni - cepat jugalah kiranya dia orang blend in. So, there sure will be no problem at all for your two beautiful, beautiful Misses (hugs,hugs)
Opps.. dah bangun dah dia orang - they say thank you very much to you :-D
Ala ala ... cian nyer Mia, tapi tetap comel. Mia birthday dekat dengan birthday my Kak Long, which is on 11 Feb, this thursday.
ReplyDeleteTahniah untuk Hakim dan Daniel ;)
Cut and bruises are part and parcel of our learning curve and a journey into an adulthood. Happy belated birthday to Mia.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation to your other kids, Hakim and Danish for their excellence achievement. Hope they can go further with their newly-found talent.
Salam MLMW :-D
ReplyDeleteDah badan lasak, macam mana la? Kalau balik dari park tu lutut seluar dengan glove mesti hitam - entah apa dia buat entah.
Happy birthday Kak Long - agak2 Mak dia bagi hadiah apa, ya? :-D
Thank you :-D
Salam DrSam :-D
ReplyDeleteYeap! Something like the more bruise, the more we explore, right? :-D Coming to think about it, she's not unlike me when I was her age - I will follow my elder brothers fishing, climbing trees, etc,... and I always came back with cuts (well, walking through a field of lalang is part of it) too.
Thank you. I am just hoping that it won't stop there. :-D
Salam to Zaida :-D
Salam Mom,
ReplyDeleteVery poor Mia, yet on her birthday. But not serious injured right? Take care Mom, make sure she always good. He..he...

Salam Zedmagel :-D
ReplyDeleteShe says muaaah back to Uncle Zed :-D Her face is getting better now. But there is an addition to the cuts on her knee - well, she's one active kid.
Danish and Hakim said Thank you :-D Danish will be having writing competition on Robert Burns poems next. Looks like I am the one having headache as I have to assist him through :-D
