Registration day @RCMP

 (Wahiduzzaman filling in the registration form  with his father assisting...(Sofiyah being cheeky!)

 (Wahid seriously arranging his registration forms as instructed)

 (Hubby had to carry Sofiyah's handbag which she had left in the car.... (naughty Sofiyah, sporting daddy...)

 (Wahid coming down the stairs from the first floor which was out of bounds to all parents)

(me waiting along the corridor....with my NOKIA)

We left Kajang on Friday 13th July for Ipoh and stayed the night at Heritage Hotel, Ipoh.  The next morning, after breakfast,  we left for RCMP (Royal College of Medicine Perak) which is in Greentown Ipoh. 

It was registration day for freshies at the college.  Wahid will be pursuing Diploma in Radiology.  It will take him three years to complete the course.  Among his siblings, Wahid is the only one who will be far away from home..(oh ummi...only three hours drive lah...he said).  But then, all my other children when they were studying for their diplomas, they were all closer to home.  Easy for me to visit them and for them to return home every weekend.  

Of course, Kak Long and Kak ngah left for Australia when they were studying for their degrees.  That was different, because they are 'fully' matured then... But Wahid....he's only eighteen.... (well...maybe it was because I was very close to him....)

Anyway, after registration, we all drove to his hostel, twelve kilometres away.... So, Wahid will have to take the bus provided from the hostel to the campus and vice versa everyday.  The hostel provided was okay, he got a room shared with his skater friend from Ampang (Mansur).  Mansur is pursuing a Diploma in Physiotherapy.  Another friend from Kajang also, is pursuing Diploma in Pharmacy, but he is in another room shared with three other boys.

And so....with a heavy heart, I bade farewell to Wahid, after hugging and kissing his cheeks.  Of course, tears flowed too...my tears lah... (boys dont cry what.....).  Orientation week started Sunday until Friday. He will be going to Pangkor Island with the rest of the freshies wednesday until friday.  Lucky him, can go to Pangkor, I have never been there before.....

Wahid dear, never miss your solat, remember abah and me in your doas, read the Holy Quran everyday, even if just a sentence, and please study hard for your future.  We love you so much.
