Baru tadika la...


I didn't know how hard it was to enter kindergarten (don't think my mom had had a hard time enrolling me at tadika kemas...), until my little one is entering in this September '10. Starting with school tour for parents on the 1st quarter of the year before applying the school (most of the schools make it compulsory for the tour - kalo tak tak leh apply)... then isi the lengthy application form dari yg basic info kepada soklan2 yg memerlukan aku berfikir yg membuatkan aku terkebil2 nak menjawabnya seperti:
  • Describe the 3 most important aspects that needed in kindergarten...
  • Why do you thing this school is suitable for your child... panjang la pulak ruang jawapan tuh... nk suh buat karangan ke ape?!
  • Describe the character and personality of your child...
  • Describe the uniqueness / special talent / ability of your child - be specific!.. oh... has yet to be discovered!
  • Apart from monetary donation, as a parent, how are you going to contribute for the betterment of the school?...nk suh hakak jadi helper mom lagi kah??
Berejam gak la pikir bila aku isi borang secara ad-hoc right after the school tour, tak anticipate langsung soalan2 mcm ni.... seb baik apply 2 skolah je...

Alhamdulillah... Hanna dapat offer Ella Baker School last week... banyak "gagak" skolah ni. Well, I'm not racist... but they are generally associated with 'rough manner'... hhmm... dah more than 300 years kena paksa jadi hamba abdi... mana tak kasar?!.. but I don't mind sbb skolah ni dekat, and lagi pun sementara je... Oh!! nak kena balik Malaya... balik Melaya... balik Malaya...

So for admission, hakak kena la pegi ke skolah itu membawa segala documentation (offer letter, passport, proof of residency - utility bill, surat from building mgmt, immunization card... etc...) dan mengisi admission form yang... huhuuh... lagi la panjang berjela... forms for school, for NY Dept of Education, release and disclaimer form, emergency form, health/ medical declaration form, ethnicity survey form, health report form kena bagi doctor dia lak fill up and send back to the school... aduii... mcm nak masuk MRSM la pulak!!!.. anak aku baru nak masuk tadika laaaaa!!!...

Next week ade interview and induction for her... adoi aiii!!.. mak pulak yg nebes..

And balik Malaya thn depan masuk tadika lagi... kena ulang lagi ke procedures ni semua???!!!... arrrgghhh... mak pinsan!!!!



bye-bye Pre-School!...

Susah yer nak masuk tadika, mcm nak apply keje bunyinyer, ada interview segala. Cute! Dah besar dah Hanna. Malaysia procedurenyer simple skit...fees jer mengalahkan hantar uni.

haah fees mahal giler tp kualiti tak seberapa sgt. i wish kat msia ni detail camtu la, to show that they really care about the kids.

lyn / sina - dpt public school... x payah bayar :) kalau private... siap la at minimum $1600 per month (RM5600 sebulan?? gulpp!!)...
Alhamdulillah, hanna sihat walafiat... just imagine anak yg ade asthma or allergic or having other medical condition... panjang berjela form nak kena isi termasuk senarai ubat2an etc. And yes, they really care about the children and take highly precaution about them sampai sapa yg nak hantar / amik anak ke sekolah pun nak kena declare (only authorized person yg ditulis dlm form tu je bleh amik budak dr skolah).

tu la kelebihan education system in developed countries.. kita nak pegi ke arah tu, tapi duit byk channel to other things .. bangunan lah, tu lah, ini lah.. education x seberapa..

kalau nk yg bagus, kena byr lebih and kuar poket sendiri.. tapi tu pun blom tentu quality.. *sigh*

Lama sgt ke haku x dtg sini ? dh pakai 'baju' baru dh blog ngko ek..suke my fav color n sgt neat gitu

M'cabar sungguh nak masuk tadika ye. Syabas inspektor syahab..b'jaya gak Hanna skolah walopon sikijap. Balik Melaya sedia $$$ je klu nk yg bagus tp kdg2 sama jek. Tiap2 tahun minta isi borang sama. anak aku Std4, so 4x la aku isi biodata murid. Klu address & gaji logikla tukar. Yg tahun lps dh shred agaknya (ayat marah ni)
