Baby English Class

I've been looking for informal baby classes for Rafiqh since quite some time. I even asked few of my friends but they suggested me to bring Rafiqh to public library and let him plays or having fun there. The problem is my baby doesn't want to read books, kalau baca pun for less than 30minutes, furthermore there is so many kids over there, most probably he's gonna disturb them, he loves to play rather than to sit and read, huh!

Actually I dah lama preferred kalau Rafiqh pergi youchien(=kindergarden), but myLove kata kasihan cause he is too young! Youchien ni nak kata lebih kurang macam nursery laa kot kat Malaysia, but the system is 180 degree different! Sorry laa kalau apa yang I kata ni tak betul, bear in your mind that we are talking about pusat penjagaan bayi/kanak2 under age 4, from my observation most of baby nurseries in Malaysia their services are just jaga bagi makan, bersihkan najis baby, mandikan, tidurkan dan pastikan baby selamat bila bermain. They don't have proper activities for babies' brain development, they don't teach the babies to be independent, they don't train the babies to be disciplined and many more. Memang tak dinafikan ada je nursery yang complete package macam yang I sebut tadi tapi the cost walla habis gaji maa... Kat sini lain laa kan, standard semua nurseries lebih kurang je, memang tak adil laa kalau banding2 dengan Malaysia, kat sini nursery dah tak macam nursery, siap boleh panggil gakkou(=school). Penjaga2 tu ada sijil khas untuk jaga budak2. That's why I sangat teruja nak hantar my baby... Tapi tu lah, selain sebab myLove tak bagi lagi, I dengar tak semua budak senang2 boleh masuk kindergarden tu, ada pra-syarat tertentu, contoh kalau si ibu tak bekerja anak tak boleh nak masuk, lagipun bukan boleh hantar ikut suka hati je, kadang2 siap kena queue tunggu giliran cause ramai sangat nak register, betul atau tak tu I tak tahu. I plan balik dari Malaysia nanti baru nak pi tanya kat pejabat daerah, really hope Rafiqh akan dapat tempat by april next year... Okey, enough about that. Muqaddimah panjang berjela :-p

Apparently, last week my friend called me and asked if I would like to let Rafiqh joins the baby english class. It's a great oppurtunity, of course I want! So pagi tadi kami pun pergi laa... This class is for baby under age 2. They organized it once in fortnight, means twice a month. Sayangnya diorang start lambat, dah bulan jun baru nak mula, so Rafiqh cuma sempat join 2kali je laa... But then lepas balik sini boleh sambung, insyaAllah...

I think this class is a good foundation for Rafiqh before we expose him to the real-kindergarden environment. Somehow slowly he will learn to be apart from me, cause all this while 24hours berkepit dengan maknya saja. As of today, he seemed to enjoy the class so much, dengar suara dia bergelak ketawa lebih dari budak2 lain. As usual, bila dah jumpa kawan2 he will ignore me, ralit dengan dunia dia. Though it was his nap time, he remained to keep himself active and busy exploring the place... Good enough for the starting...

Balik je rumah terus tertidur, penat sangat agaknya berlari dan main...
