Hi - I'm Back!!!

Salam all, Happy New Year all friends. My last entry was 24th Dec 08 and that was the day that i fell sick up till today. I was bedridden for three days till i got a jab on my backside and then my fever was up and down till early last week. After the fever, I lost my voice for a few days because of my dry cough ( sounded like a dog ). Now I'm left with the cough and a lot of catching up with work and also my blogging and facebook. And just as am totally recovering, it has been raining non stop in Kota Kinabalu for the past 2 days. Thus, I'm starting to cough again.

Last week was also the start of the school year for my kids. Deena is in Year 3 now and Dinie is in Year 4. Being in a new place, me and Azhar had to organise the school and transport. Dinie was a bit difficult last week with his crying and not wanting to go to school. (he wanted to go back to his old school in KL) Luckly, yesterday he was his old self again. As for Daniel (aged 4+), it's his first time to school. He was okay from day 1 and is always the first to get ready for school in the morning. I send Daniel to school in the morning but he returns home by bus. As for the Kakak and Abang, they take the bus both ways and to both schools (sekolah agama and national).

On top of the new school and mummy being sick, the maid had to leave - the excuse being, her mum in indonesia is not well. Promised to return on the 4th of Jan but never returned till today. I was without a maid for a week till i got the present one. So far so good (just 1 1/2 weeks).

About work, it is also the beginning of the semester and i am appointed as a course coordinator for English Level 4 (academic reading and writing). I have 32 lecturers and tutors working under me and I have 1,650 students. Being new in UMS, I need to learn the does and don'ts. I need to do a bit of preparation too cause it's not an easy paper to teach too.

Well... the week has just begun and I am starting to be a bit more relaxed and organised. Hopefully it remains that way till the year ends.
