Y2 to Y3

Today is my eldest child's last day of school. Come August 28th, she will be a Year 3 student. How fast the time flies.

We have been a Jakartaian since Dec 31st 2011. Those 6 months of schooling flew by just like a blink of an eye.

And reading Arissa's year end school report is truly overwhelming. Her progress and development in learning is no small feat considering that she will only turn 7 years old on this August 15th. She came only with her kindergarten/preschool knowledge. And if we were in Malaysia she is will be in standard one which is actually in year 1. But because of international education system here used at school, she was put in year 2.

I have my worries on her learning. Mostly because the high standard level of education at BIS. Arissa is a smart girl. Together with help from school and also help from home teaching, she is able to catch up with what is being taught in school.

But we still need to help her somemore during this holidays. It breaks my heart when i saw her crying telling me she couldnt answer some maths questions.

During the begining of school year , we managed to get some info on arissa's learning progress. It is based on that that her teacher gave me teaching aids and information on subjects that she is weak..

When i look back at this, now i know the reason for me being a SAHM. How lucky I am to be able to help my daughter in her studies.

So if you ask me how her year end report was, all i can say me and my husband are so proud of her achievement. Even her class teacher is proud of her too.

And she got two merits award to end her year two !!!!

Needle and thread

One thing that i dont like about here is that the lackness of specialty shop . Not for high end products. But more for simple basic stuff like needles and threads. If back in malaysia , we can just pop into any  sewing shops or handcraft shop or just the local groceries shops.

But here in jakarta that is a different story. After searching for needles and threads high and low , I found it at a shop that  not  only sells plastic products but also ribbons , paper bags n balloons.. And i found out about this shop after i asked my landlord cum my neighbour on it. Argh!

Same thing also when i wanted to buy Al Quran. I have yet to see a shop that only sell Al Quran and other religious reading material. All i know for now is that i will have to get it from a bookshop. Umph!

Mind you that I am staying in place that is almost like USJ or kinrara. Not many places here have that kind of environment. Thus, I am pretty upset with all the troubleness in finding a simple products.

Of course i am getting used to all of this!!!..

And the shop where i got my needles are located in a pasar or market here . Its half fresh market and dried market too. Thanks goodness its a new modern market and not like most old markets here in other parts of jakarta.
