A new episode begins - amir syakir zufayri & nurin izzah zufayri's

I guess it's still not too late to wish everyone Selamat Tahun Baru. A new year, a new beginning. Been rather occupied so far, with Syakir beginning school, etc, etc.

Amir Syakir starts school this year. This photo of him was taken on Hari Suaikenal, the week before school starts (ada org kata Syakir makin gelap.

Well, sebab asyik gi swimming la tu masa cuti hari tu).

The school made some slight changes to the school uniform this year, which includes black shoes, instead of white. Thank goodness for that!

Masa Hari Suaikenal tu pun, baru a few hours kat sekolah, baju dah comot. Berpeluh2 and bau masam! Fuhhh...

Anyway, first two weeks ni masih lagi Minggu Transisi (MT). Tengok buku2 yg diberi utk MT ni, lebih kurang mcm buku tadika la. Budak2 pun bosan je, kena tulis ABC, page by page. Hehe...
Later this week baru dpt buku teks. We'll see how it goes.

Syakir has also started his piano lesson. Mula2 dia beriya2 sgt nak belajar violin. Dari tahun 2007 lagi (pengaruh Little Einsteins). But when we brought him to the music school, they didn't have a small enough violin to fit his size. Furthermore, they required him to start learning the piano/keyboard dulu, which he didn't want. So tangguh la dulu...

A few mths back, we decided to try at another music school. Thankfully they were more flexible in the sense they allowed a child to learn the violin without learning the keyboard/piano first, as long as the child has an interest. They even gave a free trial lesson. However, during the trial lesson, Syakir seemed bored. Cikgu dia pun tak berapa reti nak interact dgn budak2 kecik kan. First lesson tu bukannya boleh terus main violin. Kena belajar pegang violin betul2 dulu. Practise cara pegang bow and violin dgn betul. Syakir pun bosan la. Penat pegang, katanya.

So, we gave him an alternative. A piano lesson. Cikgu piano ni pompuan. Much better la cara dia interact dgn Syakir. Siap dpt sticker pelbagai. Dipendekkan cerita, Syakir seems to like his piano lessons (half an hour je weekly) so far (baru dua kali). Dah ada homework... itu Ummi serah kat Ayah la ye, nak tolong Syakir. Ummi buta music. Tak reti.. tak pernah belajar muzik.
