Izzat the 'Jabulani Boy'

My Izzat is a very cheeky boy. But I love him to bit :)

For the past 2 years, Izzat had been bugging me to buy him a Jabulani ball. I don't even know what Jabulani meant! :P But I know the ball is quite expensive. Anyway, I told him that if he really want that ball, he has to get top 10 in the exam... hehe. He was like "kalau macam ni, sampai bila-bila pun izzat tak dapat!"... yeap, he is so negative! :P He said "Izzat tak akan boleh punya dapat top 10".... adoi aii.... usaha pun belum lagi, dah negative... so upsetting :(

Anyway, now that he is in year 4, I thought it would be tough for him... so every Saturday, when his sister went to kelas tambahan UPSR at school, I would try to sit down with him and do some revision... esp on the Science subject which I thought is a bit difficult now that he is in tahap 2.

The Mid Term exam was out this week and I was surprised to learn that Izzat actually did a good job in that exam!! He scored 5As and even get 98 in his science subject (2nd highest in class!) Not only that.. for the FIRST TIME ever.... he got no 8 - which is TOP 10 in the whole standard 4! :) Woww.... I am so proud of you, my boy!!! You said 'Izzat tak akan boleh punya'.... but YOU DID IT!!!! :) I told you so boy.... you can do it!!! *hugs!*

So sepanjang minggu ni, he kept bugging me... Everyday I would hear the word of 'JABULANI' :P

"Mama janji nak belikan Izzat bola Jabulani kalau dapat top 10!!".

"Sabtu ni kita pergi beli bola Jabulani ya, Ma?"

"Hedzry kata bola Jabulani ni murah kat bangunan sebelah SOGO tu! Kalau kat tempat lain mahal sikit!"

"Izzat nak bola Jabulani yang ada lambang 'REAL MADRID'"....

"Kawan2 Izzat semua ada bola Jabulani, Ma... Amir Hafizudin pun ada!"


Oh boy... I cannot tahan anymore... so last Saturday, since Izzaty's kelas tambahan was canceled, we decided to go to 'bangunan sebelah SOGO' which is Pertama Complex lah :P

And Izzat tersangatlah rambang mata bila masuk one of the sport shops... :D And he chose this ball...

Ohhh.... ini lah bola "JABULANI"... baru mama tau! :P

When Izzaty saw his brother with that ball, she said "Zaty nak bola Molten!!!". Oh boy... lagi sorang!!!! She had been requesting for me to buy a bola tampar ball ever since she was selected to represent her school for the volleyball team. Her team got 3rd place peringkat daerah... not bad lah eh :) And since she also got 5As and finally managed to top her class again in the mid term exam after dropping in the previous 2 exams... mama cannot say 'no' to her request kan? huhu...

The molten ball...

Ayah ended up paying RM100 for these 2 balls - that is AFTER discount okay! Kalau real price lagi mahal le kononnya! :P Huhuhu... tak pe lah Ayah... janji the kids happy! We should reward them as they did quite good in the exam, kan? :) But kids... make sure lepas ni belajar rajin2 lagi okay!! :)

Malam tadi... someone slept with his Jabulani ball :P
