My Little Perfectionist

Doing homework with Amir is not easy I tell you. Like always, the teacher's message commands more respect that the mom's teachings.

This time Amir was doing his Bahasa Melayu homework and some writing. So his work was to write the sentence that the teacher wrote on top of the page and to practice his physical writing skills, he needed to copy the sentences on top over and over again. And guess how long it took to write 6 sentences like "Datuk duduk di dapur"? It was 1 1/2 hour!!

Why?

He insisted that all the alphabets must be parallel to the top (his teacher's sample). As his writing was so big, of course everything went out of proportion. And he would nag and nag that his teacher will make him stand on the chair for not doing it correctly and nicely. Then he would erase the entire sentence and wrote it all over again. Then he would get confused once the alphabets went out of range... trying to look for the 'D' of "duduk" when it has gone under "dapur" of the previous line due to his big writing. I tried to convince him that as long as the writing is readable and straight, he shouldn't be worried. But then, who was I to say that?

"Mama ni..teacher cakap betul la..., Mama mana tau Mama bukan teacher!"

Adoi!


Because of that, Mama had to have some retail therapy.

So Mama went out and buy some stuff for my last weekend project, which I spent the entire Saturday afternoon cucuk mencucuk..

And hasilnya...






















At least my living hall corner got a new look :-)
