Decision on playschool umar

Umar will turn 3yo by may next year. First let me recap few schools that i have survey near to my house area. (Damansara uptowon, ttdi):-

1) Lets Hop - monthly fees is RM400. I luv their teaching method and they only take 6-7 students for 3yo. THE ONLY thg lacking is it is in shop lot area at level 3. And the parking area there....is simply stressfull.

2) Brainy Bunch - too many students! 1 teacher for 10 students in a very small room. Simply NO! But the fees are cheap. RM290.

3) Qdees - i luv this school because they have gym day and swimming class once in a week. I always prefer kids to play more at their 2-3yo age. Simply because they are developing their motor skills right now. Their uniforms are cute too. Sadly they started teach islamic program at 4yo and above. For 3yo no islamic program. Other than that their fees are expensive. Monthly rm290 like that but have to pay extra (the extra is alot like RM600 for every quarter) for certain thg every quater month. Gahh. For 3yo kids i think not worth it but 4yo and above is ok. They teach mandarin too! I think this will be perfect school for umar when he reach 4yo. But not next year. Pembaziran sbb umar baru 3yo tahun depan. Too expensive for his playschool at umar's age.

4) Little Calliph - i read alot of good reviews about this school at other branch but not at TTDI. Everythg so kesian. It's at the corner house, their swing is broken, rumput so panjang, students ramai, and lot more i dun want to mention here. Sorry i just have to tell the truth here. The management really have to do somethg for the school. Kesian budak2 plz.

5) CIC - i would consider this as the best among the others. Fees pon ok. RM300 je monthly. Students tak ramai. Cikgu2 nampak passionate nak ajar budak2, ada playground dlm sekolah. Cuma bila masuk dalam so-so je tak berapa bersih. I mean a bit berdebu. Tapi ok la sbb aircond manjang. Other thgs are ok kot. Program dia pon nampak ok. Cuma i tak rasa diorg speaking 24hours with children. Pon tak kisah sgt. Sbb umar ni ok je ckp bm or english. Umar mmg ckp manglish haha mcm blog aku. Aku tak la fussy sgt bab tu. Sbb sebagai parents pon kita kena memainkan peranan kita mendidik anak. No school is perfect for your lil ones. As long persekitaran nampak ok, harga ikot budget n cikgu ok, dah memadai.

The only school yang aku tak sempat survey is Smart readers kat bandar utama. Sbb nye we already made decision to homeschool umar for this year only. Aku da study sikit2 pasal homeschool tidak la susah mana, cuma kesabaran kena setinggi gunung haha. Tapi aku da ckp ngn husband kena invest sket kat kawasan belajar umar. Seperti rak buku, meja n kerusi umar. Every month insyaallah kitorg akan put aside budget utk beli buku2 umar yang sesuai. DIY stuffs utk aktiviti homeschool dia nti aku buat.

Kenapa at the end kitorg decide utk homeschool? (Tahun ni je tau)

1) sbb kalau hantar g playschool, umar kena tido seawal kol 8 or 9 malam and bangun kol 6.30 pagi? Bila la bonding session umar and daddy dia gitu kalau alip pon tetiap malam balik kol 8 and 8.30? Bonding session anak and ayah penting dan mengatasi segalanya. So for the time being rasanya biarla umar belajar kat rumah dulu setahun ni.

2) semua school pon aku rasa mahal je lebih tapi kurang pada aktiviti bermain. Pendapat aku je la. Ada 1 tu kat mutiara damansara and kat ttdi, tapi dah full house. N soooo expensive. RM500 monthly. Wahhh tu aku tanye harga kat tepon je la. Malas nak g sbb tau tak mampu. 

3) umar tak diaper free lagi. Hehe insyaallah bila badan aku da kuat amik shaklee nti, boleh la aku start train umar diaper free kie.

4) aku nak start ajar umar makan sendiri sepenohnya and without ipad. Makan kena ngadap ipad. Grr tp kalau kat luar takya sbb byk distraction. Anak aku mmg terbalik.

Gitu la. Wish me luck to homeschool umar and insyaallah i will share the activities soon here supaya jadi rujukan kita sesama parents. Jadual aku pon akan berubah gila2 but that's ok utk kebaikan bersama.

Getting old

I hardly sleep if umar fall asleep first.

And easily sleep when struggling put him to sleep.

Haha no wonder petang2 kalau umar bukan main payah nak tido, aku yg tetido dulu.

Macam ada magic pon ye. 

Td petang almost settle kan 50% problem aku.

Hehe another 50% knr tunggu esok.

First time ye nak dekat setahun buat on9 business ni, problem gini happen. Serentak plak tu.

Mana la aku tak cuak pening pala.

Yang penting barang customer sampai kat masing2. Soal rugi sikit takpe aku sanggup tanggung.

Since this is the first time i encounter this problem, i will be extra careful next time.

Since it's consider a bad day, i had myself a toffee nut latte which was not bad at all.

Try la. Sempena christmas je dia ada kot.

Lama da tak beli starbuck.

Last minum 3 bulan lepas share ngn husband.

Thgs are too expensive nowadays. With gst and all.

Cant afford premium coffee anymore.

I dunno if anyone in kl still depends on 1 income without doing on9 business/any side income jobs, you guys mmg hebat.

Anyway, kebetulan umar ter nap awal, so dia bangun dlm pukul 2pm, just the right time to go out and settle thgs.

Aku jarang sgt dah kuar sendiri masa pregnant ni.

Dengan musim hujan, dengan pregnant, lagipon setiap hari knr tunggu posmen anto barang and kutip barang, haha. By the time posmen kutip barang je, dah nak dekat waktu nap umar.

So kebetulan sgt harini takde barang utk dipos sbb smlm nye dah pos byk plus kebetulan lagi umar ternap awal. Wuhuuu just nice.

Dahla sekarang hujan pagi dan petang, bila nak sidai kain kann.

So being a supermom agaga i bring along baju utk keringkan kat dobi. Lalala

Tq la the self service machine. Rajin tak rajin je nak keluar rumah.

Alang2 kena g pos opis, marila keringkan baju sekali.

Mula2 bgtau umar nak g pos ofis je.

Pastu bukan main gembira si umar bila dia nampak ikea the curve semua tu.

Asik menjerit escalator.

Tapi budak ni memang senang bawak keluar sbb dia behave je dengar cakap.

Cukai pon mintak ball 50sen hahaha.

I luv u la umar.

So i tapau ayam penyet, starbuck and settle pos barang customer.

Selalu aku pakai easy parcel je servis kutip barang dari rumah. Tp sbb arini urgent barang tertukar kan, tak sedap ati aku nk tunggu sehari lagi. So g la pos manual.

Sampai rumah, suap umar makan kenyang termasuk la aku sekali yg kelaparan.

Now masuk malam je aku cramp kaki, and sakit belakang.

Aku da masuk minggu ke 20 of trimester 2.

Walaupon dah amik vitamin yg doc kasi, still sakit. Nak dekat 2 minggu cmni!

Aku baru beli shaklee ni haa for pregnancy. Da tak tahan sakit sangat.

Husband pon nyampah agaknye dengar seminggu aku bebel sakit.

Dapat gaji teros dia kata hah g la beli.

Will share the progress after consume nanti.

Lusa la kot baru smpai.

Dulu aku masa pantang pon amik shaklee, tapi lepas abes, aku stop.

Sbb kunun da kuat da badan haha.

Now umur pon da 31 lagila nak handle umar everyday, sbb tula sakit nye lain macam.

Dulu masa aku pregnant umar, time tu dok opis je.

Takde la masak sgt balik rumah.

So aku bear with the pain je la kot.

Now aku kena handle umar plus masak everyday, mana la badan tak sakit sini sana kan.

Okla sian korg knr dgr aku bebel.

Goodnite~

Dugaan

Minggu lepas n minggu ni adalah minggu yang sangat sangat menguji kesabaran.

I had a problem with poslaju.

Tapi bukan dorg yg salah 100%.

Ada salah dari supplier, ada yang salah dari pos laju, and semalam salah dari aku!

Rasa nak nangis n takmo buat on9 business.

Rugi tak la banyak mana.

Bawah RM100 la bila campur semua but still... Pfft

Yg salah supplier tu, sbb dorg salah ship ke aku. So tu dorg nak refund balik.

Yg salah pos laju, dorg hilangkan item aku.

Yg tu take agessss utk drg selesaikan.

Yg salah aku plak tersalah pos kat customer.

Kebetulan semalam ada 3 parcel.

Padahal selama ni rilek je handle more than 5 parcels in a day.

Tak pernah tersalah send. Smlm first time tersalah send.

Sighh apalahhhh naseb.

Okla nak g settle semua problem.
