Homework Drama

I came a bit early last evening around 9 pm.

The day before, I came back after 10 pm and got mad because the basket of clothes remained unfold and then there was the case of still missing neck tie - if you fold the clothes, chances are you might find the tie.. The final straw when it was already 10:45 pm - beyond the bed time - he was still playing on the phone with Along.

So, last evening I came back while everyone was having congregatory Isyak prayer - sejuk hati...

Once they were done, I asked him about homework.
Him: Oh, there is Maths!
Ok, you start first & umi will check later....while I got going with kitchen stuff.

After much reminder, he sat down to it only when I sat at the table. I have to ask about the textbook - which topic to refer to. So, painstakingly we gone through that few questions - a, b,c, d, & f - on +, -, *, / with negative and positive numbers. Oh mind you - he can use calculator now - coz the teacher said so!

Once we were done, I asked him again...and he said no other homework. Then, I change my question, umi never ever get to see BM or BI homework. There was that Science once.... are you sure? Did your teacher never give you any homework nowadays? Umi need to check from time to time...

Him: Oh, there is Science!

Earlier you said only Maths..hmmm... if I didn't said I am going to check ...what is going to happen?

Him: I didn't say no other homework, I say Maths just now...ayah, umi is the one who twist words..

I was gobsmacked! He is trying to blame me instead for his wrongdoing...

So, the routine continue with pushing for the textbook being brought around, bickering about how to do things...for Science we learn about latitude and longitude. Latitude is divided into North (U) and South (S) by Khatulistiwa (Equator) line. Longitude is determined into East (T) or West (B) by the Greenwich Meridien line.

Oh by the way, about 2 weeks ago I had to impromptuly gave tuition on ADDITIONAL MATHS for F4! Yes, Add Maths - the same subject which I always failed duing F4 & F5 and screwed up my options to pursue a Medical degree! I managed to get C6 for SPM....
