Hubby and I had just dropped our three musketeers at their school this morning. I was nervous like crazy. The father couldn't sleep the whole night. He said he was nervous too... I guess every parents are. I am worried because the children are going to a new school. New school means new environment, new set of friends, new set of teachers. Am not so much worried about Little Rose. She's smart and very independent. I am, or rather, we are more concerned about her brothers, Asyraff and Aimar. After what we have witnessed this morning when we dropped them off, I am even more worried than ever...
Whe we arrived at the school this morning, it was quite chaotic! We didn't know who among them were the teachers. Children were running around the place, some were screaming, some were crying, a few others were playing. We didn't want to just 'dump' the children like that and leave?! They wouldn't know who's who! Initially we decided to just leave them... I thought "Minta2 they won't cry lah, please.."
Suddenly I felt a tug on my pants and saw Rose was hugging my leg. She was about to cry. I picked her up, thought of handing her over to the teachers, but who??? Angin betol! After coaxing her down, I asked from one of the ladies (which I main tembak jek, wasn't sure if she was a teacher or not, and luckily I was right!) for a masking tape and a marker. She asked me what for. Told them I needed to tag my children so that they know who's who! Nasib baek laa I didn't raise my voice. Geramm dah nih..
While waiting for the items I've asked for, my eye caught something on the shirt of one of the children. Ehh?? They have prepared a tag! But where are they?? None of the teachers bother to inform the parents where the tags were. Like they were so so confident that they were gonna get it right! Righttt... Punya ramai budak, larat ker?? I went around the room and found the tags being arranged according to colours. Saw Rose's in purple, and the boys' tags in pink. PINK???!! (I could only shake my head quietly.. What the...)
Anyway, so I called them, tagged them, said my goodbyes, and slowly made my move. A teacher came up to me and asked, "You were looking for a masking tape just now?" Ish ish... Berzaman nunggu baru sekarang nak tanya kaa?? I told her I don't need it any more because I have already found the tags. She nodded and left.
I felt like banging my head on the wall.
Slowly and quietly, I left the room. Almost tip-toeing jugak... Asyraff suddenly appeared behind me. Ushered him back to play with the other children. Continued my journey to the door. Outside, a makcik with her maid were standing. "First time pisah dengan budak2 ke?" makcik asked. "No," I answered. "Cuma pasal ni skolah baru, tu jer".
In the car, I told hubby about what happened inside. Both of us were sighing... We just hope that things will be alright...
Anyway, here's the pic of them before entering the school this morning.. Adorable.. :)
