Apai goes to school-Part 1

Pheww how fast time flies…my son will be five next year and in just a couople of days he’ll be entering school. Gulp…I’m so nervous…hehehe dunno why.
Ok..eventually i wanted to send him to Villamaria Kindergarten which is located very near to my mom’s house. Considering:
1. Bibik can send him in the morning should Mr Darcy and I have meetings in the morning;
2. Bibik can pick up after school since it’s just walking distance from nenek’s house..so i don’t have to rush from office to pick him up.
3. It’s a turun temurun school….Nong-nong(stands for mama long but since apai cannot pronounce it properly when he was 1+…it became Nong-nong), uncle Joe, aunty yayang, maksu and aqid (beloved cousin bro) went to Villamaria…eerr except for me…i went to a french then indian kindy at Hanoi). So since it’s a turun temurun school…it’s like a must for Apai to enrol himslef to this kindergarten.
But…me, myself and I have another option which is Smart Reader but its located further than my mom’s house ( not a walking distance obviously)but in the vicinity of D-heights. I wanted to send him there because:
1. I was one of the evaluaters for an award and i evaluated Smart Reader…I find it very interesting because they create their own module,workbooks and etc;
2.I read testimonials on kids who were sent there can read an write well;
3.Oh well..overall i was just impressed with the whole concept..hey..as a mother of course i want the best for my kids.
I received so many feedbacks from my family..well of course majority wanted Apai to go to Villamaria.So after sessions of discussions with mr. Darcy…I decided to ….ok…lah follow lah the turun temurun thing.
So on one of the weekends, i made the announcement.
To to my surprise,
" i think Smart Reader is ok..you can try and send him there..for a change", Ayah said
"hmm..ok i’ll think about it again", i said .
Right..i didn’t take much time to decide….Smart Reader….here comes Apai….hehehe I’m so excited about it.
But many people were frustrated with my decicion…heheh even my bro-in law..said
" i couldn’t believe it she’s not sending Apai to Villamaria..its like a family school".
Yikes..sorry bro…made up my mind..just for a change..hehehe…hey when come to think of it…betul what..I’m the only one who didn’t go too villamaria..so…shouldn’t it be a turun temurun too?
Ok…so i decided to take Apai to see both schools before i register.
First stop…Smart Reader Strawberry Hills.
When i brought Apai there..they were doing some renovation works..so…the condition is a bit not condisive with dusts all over.I was really dissapointed with Apai’s comments.
" eee YUCK!!! I don’t like this place, I don’t want to go to school"
Second stop..Villamaria Kindergarten
And his comment was…
" I like this school Mama…so much fun!!!"
It took me…another week to really decide which school he goes to…and the decicion is final..and Apai is going to SMART READER.
Last week me and sis went to buy school stationaries…huhuhu..it used to be for myself now its for my son…errrkkk..so old now.
Anyways..i’m counting days to the first day of school..i dunno wat to expect..but i hope everything is going to be ok..and I’m so happy that my application for leave on the first week of jan has been approved! Hurraahh!!!
