My footie-mad-everything-Arsenal Boy

Ayum got number 9 in school, and he was hoping that he'd get a present on Hari Anugerah Kecemerlangan. Not as good as last year's no 4, but definitely much better than last term's no 17!

Mana taknya, a few days b4 his exam, I did a lot of exercises with him. He had problems with Science, and, true enough, he only got a B- 70 marks for it. have to work harder with him there. Alhamdulillah, he finally managed to grasp the concepts of pecahan & peratus... pening ajar dia! So, the rest, he got 80 for Maths, 84 for English, 80 for Pemahaman, 75 for Penulisan.

However, today, he's so elated to go to school - he's wearing an Arsenal (which I refer to as Ar-sengal these days) jersey to school - with his name and (kebetulan!) no 9 emblazoned at the back. He had it sent to a PKNS sports store which set him back (and us) RM25. Went with his Acu last Sunday, before knowing his result. He sure's gonna get some ribbing from his friends today at school.

Anyway, this is his last few months of savoring football, for starting next year, there's gonna be a strict ban on his TV viewing. He's such a passionate follower, he knows all the players in EPL, I sometimes wonder how he has the knack to know them all, but finds it difficult to study! Gosh, I'm looking ahead to trying times of finding ways to control his footie-addiction next year. Hope I'd be able to keep a level head when dealing with him!

* Update - Ayum gets his wish - he will get to go onstage next Thursday for getting no 9
overall.
