Next Year change school

Sometimes hear people say just make you more vexed and confuse further. This person was telling me to transfer my girl to the other school. I like to also lor but than have to wait until next year than can put up so what is the point there. So, I just say "forget it!"

Lucky, I never think of transfer coz next year she will be changing school anyway what. Thanks to that person for not even telling me this information. Sigh .. I just came to realize that the current school my child is attending only up to Grade 5 so next level, she will be transferred to another school. Lucky I never put up for transfer for another school coz I would really look silly. So much for being helpful.

Lifestyle

Well, perhaps its SUMMER and no one ever comes out during this time coz the whether here is just too hot! 40 degree C and I have to get the temperature right if not it would look funny as to what I mean HOT.

Took a walk around this area. Quite a few houses here but seem there are only two way out of this area. People around these houses don't really say HI? Not that I have ever seen many of them come out to even say HI? Perhaps it is the hotness getting to them?

Ok .. our own people here... they all like dress to kill? I feel like as if there is a dress competition here? Mommies here like to like be in style and I am not. I am the type with T-shirt and a pants so what? Even I dress sexy, my husband not here to see and definitely I don't want to attract bo yark here! The bo yark here can be more extreme leh! I am lonely here for now coz my heart is closed and I don't want to get too close to our people here coz afraid of getting hurt and all those pressure and things they say to me might affect my head. I seem to get affected easily by comments and couldn't let go recently. Perhaps is that I am too free? Need to mediate to free this up.

Peaceful!

Ok .. my boy is going a normal school hours from today!

Peaceful for a few moments. I like dropping them off at school coz it means it is time to myself. No stress, no noise. My head is in peace to think.


Bad Hair Day!

I have never get a bad hair day ever since I know that hairstylist created this new rebond to hair. With all the minerals in the water down here, it is not doing good to my hair at all. Woke up today and my hair looks like a broom stick; frizzy. Can't put it down. Arghhhh.. need to find treatment shampoo for my hair. Guess dying my hair again is bad idea coz it is dry and frizzy already sure don't want it to get worst than already is.

Pissed with Tuition

Well, thought the tuition is really there to help my children. I also thought that the tuition teacher really care and nice but guess wrong. Ok.. my son making noise, sorry lor. She said " the other children coming in" can bring your son outside to settle him. I like ok.. then I started to get pissed off with this teacher... but let it go...

Later, she talk to me about my girl Chinese no good she cannot help her in a way coz she is behind. My girl Chinese no good. I like really pissed WHAT? We must be not paying you enough har so it is not your problem har! Even MOE teacher at school care more than you do leh! Never mind. What to do! She here to enjoy one not to teach one mah! She is here to make sure we follow the Chinese syllabus. Follow only hor not really care if we can catch up or not and that is why I am pissed! Then I told my hubby, then I can also do what! Follow mah, who don't know? A dog can follow. Pardon me for speech like that but people are so inconsiderate since I come here. She is not the only one the previous Admin jerk was also very self centered coz they never even tell us things we need to know like buy Chinese textbook for children, as we already know. See what I mean when I continue to write and comment how some Singaporeans are just plain self centered?

Elementary School Begin

Elementary School Begins here today at 7:55am. We set out at 7:30am. I like shocked so many cars were there. Even the police was on the watch for speed meters. It make me neverous. Nevertheless, I survived dropping her off!

When I pick her at school 2:15pm, again there were many cars line up behind me too. I like "what the hell!" I should have picked a house near this school. At least I can walk instead of driving. Now driving have become so stressful here.

So first day of school, she never did punch her number in for lunch coz she follow other people. So eventually I called the cafeteria to get them to deduct the money out for the account MyNutriKids coz we are not entitled for free meal. I can let it go but it isn't good to do that coz the free meals for meant for those who cannot afford it.

National Day Celebration @ Arizona

We celebrate Singapore National Day Celebration on 5 Aug 2011 at the airbase. It was a buffet dinner. Everybody was in Red and White and I am NOT! I am proud of being a Singaporean but just not to this extent.

The celebration was a bit boring as they had history lessons up. The lucky draw they have seemed to be have been fixed (jokingly) coz every number it comes out always starts with either a 9 or a 6 never something else like 1 or 4. So no luck there. The dinner buffet had Chicken Rice and Kailan. My reviews was that the rice is too soft. Can even make a rice ball. Kailan, so big that only a mouth like monster can eat it. No wonder they provide knives on table. The table we are sitting with is selfless people which don't care to say a simple "Hi". They take care of their "OWN"! So much for being Singaporean in other people's country. So fake until I want to get out of here! I was just glad it ended and I got over with it!

Lucky thing they didn't play that Lady Gaga song. So embarassing!



Open House @ Rancho Santa Fe Elementary

Today was a BUZI day!

1. Send my son to school.
2. Open house @ Rancho Santa Fe
3. Celebrate National Day here @ airbase

Went to open house early coz have to be back home by 5pm to go down to airbase to celebrate our Singapore National Day Dinner. Hubby told us to go early; the open house is at 4pm but we went at 3:30pm. So end up standing outside in the hot weather sweating and we are all dressed up. STUPID! They won't open the door to let us in and even won't put us in an air-con area. We all waited outside sweating until 4pm. Sigh ... its like that one lor.. they work like that one... ok.. never mind. We saw someone staring at the window so went over to see too. Lucky, we see what other doing then we found out my girl's teacher in which room.

4pm, the door open and everybody rush in to find the place. What the HELL! Give us map lah! No map.. walk until we found one board. I very hot and frastrated coz rushing for time and again my son gives me crab wanting to carry! Argggghhhh.. irritated! Run here and there and still can't find the room. Finally asked and then found residing near a gate at the far end corner. I second inside talking to the teacher. Her form teacher is Mrs Helter. Strict teacher with lots of detention. Perhaps a good discipline for my girl to remember her things. Ok.. have yet to see for the rest of the year outcome. She sends e-mail to parents to update them of the week status. This is the kind of dedicated teacher we need and keep them in mind during teacher day ;)

The cafeteria director was nice to show us how the cafeteria works for children to get their meals. Even the teacher would take an effort to direct us to the cafeteria and not just point at the directions itself only. Can Singapore have this type of service? We obsolutely lack this leh!

Pre-school for son

Ok.. I understand from word of mouth that my son is not to age with kindergarden even until he passed his birthday. He next registration for kindergarden only comes in Sep next year. So I was off by my plan to let him stay with me for 6 months until pass his birthday then put him into the kindergarden same school as his sister.




So kindergarden here is claimable from word of mouth again. Again, the stupid admin is good for nothing and another who comes here not to work but vacation. She not doing her job! How can people get away with their concious I really do not know! So we approach the admin and got the information. 2 Kindergarden allowed to register our children for Pre-school. Both are actually near the place where we are staying but I chose, St. Peter's Montessori School. Seen the place. Nap place not as big as Kinderland at Woodlands mart so I didn't put him there over afternoon. I need to do volunteer work and I am ok with it. Besides, I only have to do for them this year only and then next year will be no more. Teacher seems ok but hardly talk. This is Montessori so I guess its normal for them not to talk very much? Their smile eeeeerrr.. doesn't have much feeling in them. Really unlike Kinderland coz I like the friendliness there.

Ok tuition begins for both of my children. They seem to be alright with it! I also start to enjoy driving them up and down. Teacher seems nice and caring.
