First week at work

What do I gather after one week of teaching in a secondary school? Teenagers today have anger management problems, they can be really cute and adorable at times (usually outside class where I will appreciate more their jokes), they are very creative ( in every sense of the word) and one major difference with teenagers of my time - even at sec 1, they are not shy to talk about sex and anything related to it.
What do my students think of me - well, they think I'm a pushover. And that I got married too young. Yeah, I have no idea what he meant so I just let it slip. Anyway, doing practicum or contract does not give you the slightest idea what being a teacher is really like. Well, not to me anyway.
So how are my kids coping? Pretty well, I'll say. Because I make it a point to be back home as early as possible - while I can.
Oh and remember when I said that we might be doing an event again in Feb. Well, we might not be because of certain circumstances that we can't avoid. But I do hope and I believe we'll make it up with something... I can't think of any right now but we will :)

My new year resolution will definitely be to blog regularly. haha. Last 2 weeks was really exciting for us although I didn't take the time to blog about it. IBG was involved in the orange event called the wedding, shopping... and I can't remember what it is.. a little too long. I think someone must have given them same kind of feedback because the next event will be titled: Kawin Kawin Makan makan. I can't say how anymore appropriate is that title to suit the malay society. Is that what we are all about? A little demeaning it feels. But maybe it's the time of the month and I'm just a little sensitive. Whatever the title might be, insyaAllah, IBG will be part of it again. Why? Because despite its lacklustre title, Orange held a great event the last time and I believe that they will score again. They were tip top in terms of organisation and service - whether to people who came by to make the event happening or to us who participate in the event. They were helpful in meeting our demands and if they can't, we can see that they tried. (Lattefah, if you're reading this, we hope you give us cheaper next time too.. hehe)
Anyway, school's starting tomorrow. Big day for all of us. I'm excited. That's why i got myself new heels. haha... My first heels after Batrisyia.
Back to IBG updates and progresses... We have taken the opportunity to launch our own Trisyia Blankets. Made from mink fabric, it is designed to keep baby warm and all cuddly. It is machine washable and there are variety of striking colours and designs that you can match to your strollers. It is also packed nicely so it's a simply elegant gift item. It is selling at $59.90. I'm afraid what is left of the designs from the expo event is not much. But more is coming soon, so keep a lookout.
I have one or 2 customer who raise concern that the mink fabric is too hot for our weather. The reason why I brought in mink is because of the nature of the material that is really soft and cuddly for babies. The warmth and it's slight weight will give the baby a feeling of being hugged or cuddled.
Air conditioners are widely used in our households today. Moreover, for most of us, we have babies sleeping in the same room as us. While we can enjoy the cool aircon, babies prefer slight warmth.
But of course I don't encourage these blankets to be used when the weather is scorching hot.
I guess I can see great use of blankets. Whether with stroller, with car seat or at home, I rely on blankets. When travelling especially, the blankets is saviour for emergency situation like needing a head support when there isn't any diaper changing stations.
