Julia Gabriels

we are officially studying in JG

Why? Coz mummy flo is bored and BB [V] was driving me up the wall (then) Remember the previous post of her being whiny and all...

I made the decision on a wed and class was to start on thurs.. made few calls, got all information... then called daddy trev about it and we went to class the next day.. rash? I don't know.... Guess there has to be some reason things happened so fast?

So we love love love the lessons.. like always ;)

One of the main reason I think that steer me towards JG was the teachers... remember I attended the holiday program? I enjoy the culture there as everyone is happy, smiling, expressive and how they always hug the children in class. Which mother doesn't want their child to be taught affections in their life; I mean not by family members but by other people. I some how don't see her primary 1 teacher hugging her ...

Besides that... I like the track records of most teachers there; having teachers that work there for more than 10 years or so shows that human factor play an important role in the organization. The school must have a good culture to be able to retain teachers with a such passion.

A big decision of joining lessons was actually to bring back sanity to me.. get in touch with the "world" besides the usual group... I don't think I'm very kaisu to start class at such young age for now I realize if you are a Stay At Home Mom with nobody at home.. trust me you will find things to do manz...

1) go hi tea every week which I have tried and end up with a hefty credit card bill or spend great time with the child and still chalk up a hefty credit card bill ;p
2)stay at home, get upset with everything around me and deal with a handful child... repeat the same old DVD's and play the same toys...

like you can tell.. the issue is me!

SO I was in class yesterday and we mummies have great small talks together... and I was asked this

Mummy X: Where will you put Victoria in N1?

me: ermmm??? (in my head.. WTH is N1?.. oh F does she mean nursery one? oh F how old is N1? ) not sure yet.. what about you?

MM X: I will put Kayda in MGS barker road.

me: its around here issit it? why this choice?

MM X: oh its actually my niece who is in there, I went there to take a look and like the surroundings there....

me: icic, I'm actually quite clueless in this aspect... haven't gotten to do some readings yet

MM X: Haha I did my research oredi... LAST YEAR

me: Oh really.. tats very interesting, anything to share?

MM X: you mean the top ten?

me: (WTH lor, nursery oso have top ten?????) Heard about this St James with a long waiting list... and a lot of other schools that have them too (btw when my gf told me about this st james I was like st james the disco?? then she was wa lau flo!!!! kindergarten lar.. then I was like wtf how I koe right???? and she rattled a long list but i can only remb st james coz of the club ;p)

MM X: there are actually alot of them with waiting list... tell me what you are keen in then I can share....

Okie I don't have any smart questions to ask which is why I'm writing this entry coz I'm reading up!!!!

Harlow Mummy Flo! Wah babe, good decision there to put baby V to JG. I would have sent my baby there too if we were in SG. I have only positive tings to say about the centre. From the teachers to the admin staff. They are all warm people. It is no doubt lah the lessons are very expensive. But for those who can afford it, it is a really good investment for you child. Your child will grow up to be one confident speaker!
