Primary School registration update

Was up at 6.30am... Prepared the documents and boys.. All ready for our 1st Primary One registration. We left home at 7.45am. It took us about 10mins to reach Innova Pri Sch.. Nice weather to walk and wasn't that far.. We reached at 8am. OMGzzz..

We're considered late.. When we reached there, the school hall was already packed with parents and children. Our queue number == 37.

Registration was kinda fast, it took about 45mins, from photocopying of documents, filling up forms and submitting the forms. By the time we're ready to leave the hall.. There's a long long long queue of parents who just came to register.. hehe..

Vacancies for 2011 pri 1 classes Only 145!! Last night, hubby suggested we could go at 10am+, since registration starts from 8am-11.30am. But I went MOE's homepage to check on details for registration. We came across a page that all primary schs in Woodlands with number of vacancies were listed to let parents find out. We're shocked that Innova was 4th least vacancies among the 10+ pri sch. haha.. hubby immediately changed his mind, "Tomorrow go at 8am!"

Hope Kieron can get a place in Innova without balloting.. Our house is within 1km from school. If applicants do not exceed listed vacancies, we r given the first priority. Hope we can get confirmation within these 3 days, by post. keke...

Another cute thing...

hehe.. There're about 14counters, with teachers and admin staffs behind each to pass out forms for parents to fill up and checking other details.. While waiting in queue, I saw this teacher soooo familiar that I couldn't help glancing at him several times.. Then my mind came across this thought, "OH YA! He's my secondary school classmate!!" I told Kieron about it and couldn't stop laughing.. Just soooo cute that once we're classmates, now he may become my boy's teacher.. But I just couldn't remember his name. However I could remember how nice he used to be in class.. I'm the treasurer in class, and he never delayed payment like other boys did. He's from Pakistan, a nice and soft guy, though sometimes he did play jokes on me, my nickname "Serai - lemon grass".

After we left the school hall, I just dragged my boys and dashed to the teacher's board at first floor. Hahaha.. There he is, Ahmad Tamizi. Confirmed guaranteed, my classmate.. Don't know if he still remember me.. We didn't have the chance to meet for 12years.. Wow.. That's really long... keke..

Primary school registration

2nd August - BIG BIG DAY

It's gonna be Kieron's primary school registration date. Our choice of school, Innova Primary School. Just few streets away from our place, so walking to school can be a good choice.

"Which primary school did you choose?"
"When are you going to register?"
"I'm worried my child can't get in the school we choose!"
"My 2nd child received his registration form, his elder brother is already in the primary school."
Blah blah blah..

Above topics are most heard between parents of the K2 kids these days.. Some kids are already registered, earlier phase are for kids who have siblings studying in the primary sch, or parents who are volunteers. Kids like Kieron, first time registering will start on 2nd August.



Our dear Kieron be in Phase 2C. Registration on 2nd August, annoucement of result 13th August.

Innova Primary school is the newest primary school amongst all in Woodlands. I like their uniforms, creative cutting and colour, something different from usual ones. I heard good reviews about the school. Don't have to be a branded school, smartest school, as long it helps Kieron grows well, behaves well. I believe these do help in his education path.

A&W

I remembered during my school days. This had been on top of my fav fastfood restaurant. There used to be one at Woodlands old interchange. I would go with a couple of my best pals like Shelyn n Sonia for breakfast, as well as doin revision. Those were days. After they stopped their biz in Spore,missed their curly fries so much. Finally I got e chance to grab it at batam.

Hubby n i

Taken on our weekend getaway trip to batam. Went Nagoya hill mall for dinner n shopped for 4hrs,not much buyin but alot for window shopping. Surrounded by numerous Singaporeans n Malaysians, felt secured n familiar. Only difference, price. Stayed at 2stars hotel.
Went to their local famous huge disco Pacific. Wow,S$7 entry, huge place,loud music. But drinks not cheap. More expensive than u can get in double o. I was fully awake n hubby got a little high, music not our preference, more to 摇头族, so went back early to watch WC.
Before time to return to spore,went back Nagoya mall for lunch n another round of quick shop.bought some necessities, abt 1/3 of spore pricing.
We planned to go again, this time gonna be a group trip. Took many videos while on ferry back spore, double Ks were so excited.

Went many places after office trip.

Oh my god,Kayden fell in love with e little girl,kept walkin up to her to shake hand n even threw tantrum when we gonna walk away. Jz so cute to have a 2yr old boy bein so chee hong. Opps. Haha

Museum trip = Not a nice one for the kids

As many know, there's story about Singapore History Museum. A "female" was trapped in there even after many many years... At first, Kieron and Kayden were really excited about the trip. There're videos, displays, photos of the past. As we moved inner part of the gallery, the kids felt really uneasy. I am too.. Just that I didn't say out, thinking it may be my own tiredness after having "parties" for couple of days.

They told me a couple of times, "Mummy, I'm scared, can we go home?" I didn't notice at first, not remembering the "story". So I told them, it could be the dim lights that made them scared. After assuring them a couple of times, they just got more uneasy. I started to feel uneasy as well. "Daddy, shall we go home?" My turn to ask hubby about it. As we're almost finishing our trail in the gallery, we decided to skip some of the sections. Out of the gallery, we felt so much better.

At night, Kieron said something that startled me. Before we slept, on the bed, Kieron popped out a sentence, "Mummy, do you know why I want to go home when we are at the museum?" I said no. "Because I'm afraid of ghost". Kinda shocked to what he said, cos I don't remember seeing any displays that could be link with "that". So I told him, "you are thinking too much, everything is fine, let's go to bed".

After he slept, I told my brother what happened. He reminded me of the tale. Okay, I linked it now. Kids are always more sensitive than adults. I think they did "sense" something that made them uneasy.. Maybe no more history trails for them anymore.

Kieron created that char with the items on the wall. Cute!

Deviants

I really like this pic alot. & had it as my desktop wallpaper. Didn't ask them to have any specific expression. Just saying, "Look at mummy, I want to take photo". There they posed. Such wonderful picture. For a moment, while looking at the picture, they're sheeps covered with wolf clothings. hahaha..

6th birthday - a BIG PARTY

Many may be asking Y a big big party when Kieron's 6?

hmmz.. Ever think about what does friends stand for? Maybe preschooler still doesn't know the real meaning of friend? Nah. They know it..
Kieron cherishes his friends so much that he wants to stay in K2 even if it's time for Primary school, cos he doesn't want to lose any of them. Isn't it sweet to hear that? So I decided to let him have a big one with his friends, before they get separated to different primary schools. After being friends for 3 years since nursery, they grew up together, from innocent, "don't know how" toddlers into close buddies friends who took care of each other.

Kieron's Sport Event

A big big big winner of the day.. 3 Gold medals, 1 silver medal and 1 consolation prize. My boy did a great job for the games. At first, I was still afraid he may freak out as there're many people around, not just 20 students watching during their normal training hours. It turned out to be a fake fright, he's steady and fast. Just a couple games, luck wasn't there, but as you could see, the kids made their best effort in completing the games.

After every run, I would go up to him, give him a big pat on his shoulder and said "good job, my boy" He enjoyed his games, just that he started to be hungry by the 5th game, asking me when would it b the time to eat. hehe.. The weather was good in the early morning, sunny. But halfway through the event, clouds gathered, drizzling started. Teachers gotta stopped the game before last group finished their students' run. Had a 20mins break before smiling sun reappeared. The kids continued their games and all looked sooooo shagged, panting and sweating..

Gave my boy a big big hug and brought him for lunch. He finished his plate of chicken rice, back home and his snacks. He's really used up all his energy.
