This is a post I made in the old blog on Thursday, 04 January 2007 at 09:46 PM.

Quite an eventful week this has been. Eric is starting his Kindergarten 2 in Stella Maris, which is conveniently nearby my workplace at Tanjung Aru Plaza. Poor guy — this is the third time that he has to change school in the span of barely two years. When I was stationed in Labuan mid-2005, Eric had to move out with me from Sunshine Pre-School Penampang to St Anne’s Kindergarten. Then, when I moved back to KK early last year, he had to move again, this time to Sunshine Kindergarten. I could let him stay at that same kindergarten this year, if not for the fact that:

1. The school fee at Sunshine is twice as expensive as Stella Maris,
2. It’s more convenient for me to pick him up at Stella Maris (2 mins drive), instead of at Sunshine (half an hour’s drive), and
3. I can bring Eric to hang out in my office during the rest of the day and not spend on daycare fees

Yesterday was uniform-picking and book-buying day, while today and tomorrow are orientation days. I get to see Eric in action with his classmates while getting to know the school grounds (teacher’s voice: “Sini ofis Sister… ini playground kita… sini toilet… siapa mau pigi toilet?”). Joel tagged along with me throughout the whole ordeal (I’ll only be sending Joel to daycare after I’m back to work). I’m so proud of my big boy — he was such a gentle”boy”… very polite to his friends, and a little shy, but very obedient. *Sigh*… wish he’d be like that when he’s at home.

One surprise that we got today was a phone call from Milimewa Supermarket telling me that I won first prize in their Christmas lucky draw — a hamper worth RM80! A week’s worth of junk food! Hooray! So right after school, we stopped by the supermarket to pick up our prize. and mama and kids got their snapshots taken, dagnabit! If I’d known they’d do that, I’d dress up more properly Hopefully I’d still get a chance to win the grand prize — a Perodua Kenari. Wouldn’t that be super.
