Just received more information on my course.
A schedule for the 11 days workshop has been sent to me. That will be from 27/11/06 till 9/12/06 with a practical exam at the end of the workshop. The workshop will start from 9.30am till 5.30pm (wah, such long hours) including Saturday.
What’s worst is that I need to do the LAN (Lembaga Akreditasi Negara) subjects. Which I’m not too happy about, but have no choice, it I don’t do it, I won’t get my diploma. Sucks… have to do it in BM (HATE! HATE! HATE! that) Not only that I need to pay extra RM400 for just 2 subjects (Moral Studies and Pengajian Malaysia) and I also need to attend classes for this 2 blardy subjects during the 11 days workshop. So I would have to spent a Sunday (9am-1pm) doing Pengajian Malaysia, and another 7 days I need to stay back as late as 10pm just to do the STUPID subjects after the workshop. HELL!
I don’t really see the need of these subjects. Blardy! I did it in my SPM already lah, why still need to do it when it does not help AT ALL. Waste of TIME, Waste of MONEY. Moral cannot be teached through studies one lah, blardy, some more we are already matured adults, who needs Moral Studies. Even when you sign up for a course with Open University, you need to do LAN subjects. I really don’t see how it serve the purpose. SPM cert, matriculation cert and a Uni cert not good enough meh?? Why when come to furthering studies for own interest, we are FORCED to do these unnecessary subjects again??? That’s one BIG turned off, discouraging people like me to further studies. If I wanted to do something in BM, I would have really study real hard to get into Public University years ago, but I opted a private college where ENGLISH is used. HATE IT! Being FORCE to do something I have no interest in. (Sounds a little unpatriotic, but I really hate the language! That’s also why I cursed when I received my income tax form!) I hate these 2 subjects and I hate that I have to do in BM.
With that I will have to leave the kids for a total of 13 full long days. Cannot imagine that. Will stay with parents in Puchong. Luckily is school holiday, mum and maid can look after the kids, but still I have never left WH behind before. I have been a SAHM since his birth and JS has gotten use to me being around. Worry, worry.. heart thumping. Even leaving them half a day at home, my heart already flown to them, constantly thinking of them. Now 13 full long days, will they be good? Will they throw tantrum? Will they cry looking for me? Will they miss me? Argh…so many worries. And I’m going to miss celebrating JS’s 4th birthday big. Thought want to celebrate with her schoolmates but seems like we going to miss it, moreover my exam is on the 9th Dec. I wonder has there been any SAHM that has to leave their kids behind temporary, how did they cope? Any suggestion?

I pity u-lah Elaine, 13 long days and poor JS & WH too. The positive side of it is at least you have a couple of months to prepare them for it.
All the best to u for doing something for yourself! Unfortunately, cannot share with you, no such experience wor

All of us have to sacrifice a little for my/our future since I’ve wanted to do it so much. THINK BIG, THINK BIG!

Yes, it’s tough. Very tough to leave them behind

Knew how you feel. Left JS for about 4 days when she was 8 months old and then 10 days when she was 1. Hubby and me went travelling, but I didn’t enjoy. Missing her dearly even then I was not a SAHM yet. We have decided no more traveling without the kids coz I will miss them very much.
Thinking from the bright side, maybe I can fully wean WH from my breast during the 13 days away?? (secretly hopping!)
