Poly-Pac bags & Pallas shoes

School is back! *cringes*

I can see the rather fair expressions on my little siblings' faces. Not so excited, not so happy and not so sad either. In between, I think.

Watching them getting ready for school pretty much reminded me of how was it like when I was little. I can see that my siblings get new school bags, new pencil cases (although my last sister kept referring to it as 'pencil box' when it is anything but), new shoes...almost everything new. They even got to choose the style they liked, and how these things worked etc. and I will later ramble about my own schooling experience.

Hummit (not my last sister's real name): *looking rather concern*
Ibu! You forgot to buy me a new pencil box!
(and of course, she doesn't speak English this good yet. I am merely translating.)

Me:
Eh, what happened to the old one?

Hummit:
It has holes already! I will have to carry it with me for my Islamic Studies class.

Me:
What is the problem if it has holes? You can cover the inner part with a plastic bag. Holes will be patched.

Hummit:
No, I don't want. I'm don't want to be humiliated by doing so.

Me: *jaws dropped*
Amboi.

Apart from that, my mother and I went on and on about other things like cleanliness, neatness, homework etc. But I was honest to my little siblings, telling them I was a lazy ass when in comes to homework. MWAHAHAHA. But still, I wasn't stupid. Just plain lazy. The teachers didn't like me much either because of my couldn't-care-less face, I suppose; when the truth is I was totally a very blur kiddo.

Anyway, I hope my dear little siblings (Hummit, LaiLai, Aebot & Kajim) will have a great year and do their best.
