met with the P and VP this morning...
and we were told that the gals could start school tmrw..!
a bit sudden and not prepared... but gals were game for it... especially rachelle... so excited to go to school...
i'm really proud of the gals... cos before we left singapore... i told them to keep their minds open to many new things... things that are different may not always be worse... or better... jus be open to try new things... gain new experiences... and this was so avidly displayed today...
after the meeting... we rushed off to get their sports wear... there is no school uniform... but there is uniform for sports wear... then we had to get this emergency bag... which actually acts as a helmet in times of emergency... then there was this little red cap they had to get... and they had to get 'inner shoes'... shoes that are to be worn only in the school building...
all these amounted to about SGD400... thank God the textbooks are provided... we dun even know how much school fees we are paying... and then there's an annual fee to be paid to join their Parent Teacher Association (PTA)...
then hubby has to open a local bank account... so that everything can be 'giro-ed'...
i've oso availed myself to the school... when they learnt that i was a primary school teacher... they were delighted... and suggested for me to be their guest teacher... details not available yet...
it's really a great experience for the gals and myself... a totally different culture... language... friends... i'm glad the gals are positive about this... =)
