I was smiling all the way while buying stuff at tesco just now.
Soon, the school will start, I could see that from the number of parents along with their kids buying school supply.
A girl was trying to fish her mom to buy her a box of cute pencils and that made me smile. I used to want those things, you know the pencil box yang boleh tekan-tekan keluar compartment tu? Getah pemadam warna warni bentuk strawberry dan buah yang berbau wangi? That sort of things.
I was never invited to join the buying school session staff by my parents, not only until darjah 4 ke 5 macam tu. Usually my mum will buy everything for us.
And of course, no such things as pensel bunga-bunga nor getah pemadam gambar strawberry. It was all boring steadler pencils, rubber and such. Boring ok.
And then awas kalau hilang, emak will do inspection almost every night to check ada lagi ke dah hilang stationaries yang dia beli, kalau hilang, siappp!
Because of that, I am a bit terencat when I see cute stationaries.
When I was in maldives, I met swirly’s colleague who also love stationaries. We would go to this one stationary shop and look around ooh and ahhh, macam sakai.
And I also saw a boy merajuk tak dapat kasut yang dia nak.
Ah zaman silam.
Tapi ada bagusnya mak aku buat macam tu, she taught us that you cannot get everything. Masa kecik aku selalu tak paham kenapa mak aku strict sangat banyak benda tak boleh. I never even had any barbie doll and such, only books.
Benci ok tengok budak-budak main barbie dolls, lepas exam week.
Masa sekolah asrama, we always wrote to each other, mak akan hantar balik surat yang aku hantar sambil mark dengan pen merah – grammar mistakes.
Lepas tu siap belikan aku buku grammar.
Tapiiiiiiiii ternyata dia gagal sebab sampai sekarang grammar aku tunggang langgang. Hmm mungkin mak patut belikan aku buku spelling jugak.
Mak belajar taklah tinggi but she did try her best to give us the best education.
I know she is frustrated with me, ada master tapi jual kek but she played along because she just want me to be happy.
Walaupun aku selalu cakap,aku tak nak jadi macam emak [kuat menaga, bla..bla..] tapi kalau menjadi seorang EMAK, aku memang nak jadi macam emak.
