It's been 3 weeks(n slightly more) since we've 1st moved in here and we've finally cleared the walkway of all the boxes, just before the start of the LNY! :)
As usual, we all gathered at my mom's on the 1st day of the LNY but for our family, we 1st have to make a stop at my BIL's to pay our respects to my late FIL. Then it's makan, mahjong and chit-chatting time for all thereafter. The 2nd day started off with more mahjong and cards games at my eldest sis, Ellen's and the 3rd, at my brother, CH's. Surprisingly, the gatherings this year all ended pretty early - 9pm+(maybe becos there aren't any 2nd rounds going on this year due to us being further away from them now...SK & Hougang r much much nearer...), :D.
Now that the first week 'craze' of the LNY visitations are over, I'm to begin my search for a preshool for Renee. Although we find that she learns much better via the enrichment courses way but I'm losing the energy to bring her around and after speaking with some gfs, I feel that it is also perhaps better to get her used to at least some hours in a school again, to get her prepared for the long hours at primary school next year - poor kids these days...
I've tried contacting some of the preschools around this area but it's sooo hard to find a suitable one as well(I had thought that it was difficult to find a good one at SK then) and most of them are montessori based, haiz... I guess I'd have to widen my search beyond this region and go to the Novena/Newton area - afterall, I'm more prepared to let her go on the school bus now that she's much older. Again, she's asked for a childcare facility(mainly 'cos cc has more time to play) but I'd rather that she goes to a preschool setup and with enrichment classes available on some days for the extended hours, to get her used to longer hours schooling. If anyone of you know of any good Kindergartens with good curriculum and teachers around our area and/or Novena/Newton region, do let me know ya! :)
