Back to School

Natasha & Alyiah on their sports day

Today both my misses started school. Kelam kabut jugak pagi tadi sediakan their uniform, snack & lunch boxes. But luckily Mr. Dear is around to help with the preparation, as usual, otherwise sure both misses will be late for school. Maklumlah hampir 2 1/2 months we all anak-beranak (except Mr. Dear coz he has to go to work) bangun after 8:00 am, so terlupalah sekejap nak adjust our wake-up time...The misses were so excited going to school that they both didn't want to eat their breakfast. Natasha is now in Year 3 (equivalent to Darjah 2 in Malaysia) and Alyiah is in Year 1 (kindergarten level in Malaysia) and not forgetting Aidan which is still waiting for confirmation letter from the "peuterspeelzaal" (dutch playschool) just a few rows behind our house on his admission to their school. Actually it is not compulsory for Aidan to go to school yet, but every morning he will cry and wants to follow both misses to school and since the peuterspeelzaal here in Netherland started taking children as young as 2 1/2 years, so we thought we might just send him in, besides it's just for 3 hours. In a way, it's a good preparation for him coz insyaallah if our application is accepted, in September next year (in Netherland, the school year starts from September until July), he will be starting school in the British School's Nursery joining both misses and at that time it will be from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. I wonder if he will survive that long hours without me by his side for he is soooooo attached to me. Well...1 year is quite a long time to go and you'll never know what will happen by then. Hopefully as he grows he will have more confidence and be more independence. But no matter what he'll be, to me, he will always be my baby....

Photos taken during their last day of school term Sept'07 to July'08

While both misses are back in school, Mommy is also busy scheduling her diary and trying to get back to her normal routine. And since it's Ramadhan, just like any other previous Ramadhan, my schedule in the mornings are pre-booked for the whole month with "appointments" with my dearest muslim friends. Other than that, hopefully everything will be back on schedule...

My brain is actually warming up and suddenly there's so much story mory to share with uols but somehow my eyes are not cooperating....But they are not to be blamed as they have not been trained to stay up open until late, note : it is now 11:54 pm. Well, what can I say. Will try to be back in again tomorrow and hopefully upload some photos for uols...

Till then, tatatititutu....
