Trials and butterflies


Girl starts her PMR trials today... and mama woke up with her stomach lining almost perforated with the dancing butterflies. IB, mama's bf, said to "chill, it's out of your control" and mama said that that's percisely why I'm stressed.. Gotta remind myself that the kids are growing up now and there are more things that I can't do for them... like sit for their exams! [although with the current syllabus, not sure if it's a good thing for them if I did sit for their exams :-) ]
Abang's UPSR trials also start tommorrow. More butterflies.
The thing is, when mama had her trials, I was away in boarding school. We didn't have our maks worrying about us in the flesh (although I'm sure they were worried about us anyways) When we sat for our exams, we had our friends for support. Even if you didn't feel like studying, you did anyway, coz you could see TT, the best student of the batch, study. When others are walking around with their buku Delta, you whip yours out too.
But precious Girl studies alone in her room. The door is more often than not, closed and her mama wonders if she's really studying or reading that mangga for the umpteenth time. Truth of the matter is, mama has to have faith. We've given her all the tools she needs (books, tuition, and mentors) and the rest is up to her. InsyaAllah, all will be fine.
And at the end of the day, mama knows that Girl has come a long way. From the trials that she faced in her early years, to where she is today, her mama is very proud of her. And thanks Allah always for the precious 4

4theprecious4,
Hey, found your blog, happy blogging.
I know the feeling when your kids sit for exam, and it gets worse when the results were coming out. UPSR hari tu pun dah nervous gila, inikan pula PMR and later SPM.

Good luck to Girl and Abang.
