PreSchool (& Summer is here)

Z supposed to start pre-school in September. Mairead dah arranged SNA (Pembantu khas untuk Z ketika dalam kelas) and Giraffe has been informed. He will go for half week preschool for 2 years. Pre school kat Giraffe jugak. Habis sekolah, masuk balik toddler room. That's the plan.

But everybody forgot that he was born in August 2010! So umur Z baru 3 tahun 3 minggu on 1st Sept!

To be eligible for free preschool scheme, a child must be aged between 3yrs 2 months and 4 years something. Mama tak tahu pulak kena umo 3 thn 2 bulan!! Mama ingatkan 3 tahun on the dot. Baru semalam mama baca betul2, terus call Mairead. Mairead pun terus menggelabah. Call sana sini nak tanya if anything we can make to be exempted from the conditions. Unfortunately no.

So we (mama & Mairead) decided to go ahead with the preschool since SNA pun dah ada kan.. Cuma kena bayar sendiri la. Problem is I dont know if the school will accept Z now. I am not sure how much different we have to pay and paling tension, mama baru jer berangan nak cuti tanpa gaji lagi. Kalau dah kena bayo preschool tu satu hal la, masalahnya mama tak tahu lah sekolah Z nak terima ke tak kalau mama nak hantar Z preschool saje - no daycare. Rugi la diorang kot sebab daycare yang make profit. Pre school shouldnt be that costly walaupun private sebab 3 jam jer sehari. And in Z case 2/3 hari jer seminggu. Giraffe Z nih ada 1 kelas jer untuk preschool, mesti diorang nak utamakan kids yang stay full time kat situ. Kalau under Govt scheme, nak tak nak diorang kena juga ambik Z. Now?..

Plan asal nak register jer Z for preschool dulu. Kalau mama nak ambik career break pun, maybe nov/dec baru boleh start kot. once Z place dah secure, kita blah la yer.. (chewah, confident jer mama nak cuti tanpa gaji ni.. papa tengah pening kepala x habis2 lagi.. hahahahah). Tapi what if the school tak nak terima Z sebab he is not under government scheme? Payah. Abistu SNA tu nak buat apa? takkan la nak tunggu Z kat toddler class sekarang..Kalau mama benti keje, memang tak mampu ler nak bayar toddler class, kena ambik paling kurang 2 full days per week, thats 600 euro (they dont accept half day) costly plus apa mama nak buat kat rumah kalau Z seharian di sekolah.. Kena carik sekolah lain la pulak yang accept preschool only. Ada jer, mostly montessory la untuk kids before 3 yrs. x de la mahal pun.. cuma masalah nak biasakan Z dengan new environment jer la pulak..sayang la nak tinggalkan Giraffe sebab Z dah biasa kat situ.. hmmm..

Anyway, summer has kick in. Actully we got 1 week of sunshine early June, then cuaca kembali kepada asal - sejuk dan mandom. But this weekend cuaca kembali menyinar :D Hopefully it will stay this way for few more days.. I really miss the sunshine..

Actually, I really miss Malaysia.. Nak balikkkk Malaysia!!! Nak bercuti.. am so stress and not really in the mood of doing any work at the moment.. Monday blues jer kot.. sigh.. sedih tengok Z tercebik2 kat sekolah pagi tadi. Classmate dia sorang nama Pooja (Indian girl), suka nk buli Z. Mama dah perasan lama dah. tatau ler sebab dia nak get my attention ke apa, sebab tiap kali mama hantar Z, mesti dia nk datang manja2 dengan mama (Mama ada rupa mak dia kot). Tapi yang tak tahan tu, mesti nak tepuk2 kepala Z la, tujal2 hidung Z la. Tadi dia g curah pasir kat badan Z. Tension jer Z, terus cebik2. Budak2, tak kan la mama nak ambik hati sangat kan.. tapi kalau dah tiap2 hari.. grrr!

(Jalan2 sekitar rumah jer.. papa was oncall on Sunday)
