Buat saja donggggggggg

Another school matter....

After we had done the screening test at Social and Health Department in Groß Gerau town council, I thought all the processes with the school´s registration were completed - at least for now. And even there are more procedures to do, I was thinking maybe they would come out in next year, maybe after we leave Germany. Maybe sometime in May onwards since the new school session begins in August.

Apparently it is NOT.

Last week we received letter from the school, inviting us - the parents and the registered child to attend a meeting with the school administration. Thought of ignoring the letter and the meeting but we were afraid of receiving legal letter from the court. Last time when we ignored the previous letter, subsequently we received a warning letter. So we don´t have much choice but to attend this matter properly.

I told kak liza about this. Last time when we did the registration and check-up, she was vacationing in Malaysia. She also did not agree with the fact that we had to do all the procedures for school enrollment though we had informed the school about our situation. Now that she is back, she is more than willing to go with me to the school and explained the whole situation to the school. Maybe because I made explanation to the school in English/bad Deutsch, they didn´t seem to understand.

My appointment supposed to be at 12pm but we went at 9.30 am. Kak Liza said it didn´t matter because we must explain that any further processes with school enrollment is not necessary, therefore the meeting at 12pm should be cancelled. When we arrived at the secretariat office, there were some parents and kids waiting. So probably they had to attend the same meeting I had to attend.

So kak liza met the secretary (the one I dealt with before ) and explained our situation. The secretary said she understands our situation but as she said before - No excuses! As long as we are registered living here in Raunheim, under the district of Groß Gerau and under Hesse state (rules & regulations in every state in Germany may differ from one to another), we are obliged to comply to the regulations of the state! When kak liza argued further, she said she would check with the school´s director. And after a while, she came back to us and said we still had to attend the meeting at 12pm. So any complains and inquiries will be discussed in the meeting.

So we just had to comply lorrr....

At 12pm, we came back to school taking the twins with us. At first, I had the impression that all parents and kids were to gather in a room/hall then there will be some kind of speech/talk by the school admin. But I was wrong. When we arrived at the secretariat office, a lady was waiting for us and introduced herself ( I don´t even remember her name!).

She told us to follow her to a room and said she would carry out an interview with one twin at a time in the room and the rest of us were to wait outside the room. Wow, it seemed to me it´s like an interview to get into boarding school/university or something! She asked the twins who would like to go in first and Nabilah volunteered! Then another lady also went into the room.

Nabilah was in the room was about 15-20 minutes. I took the opportunity looking around and was amazed with the school. The school looks so clean and beautiful. And while waiting, we saw a teacher holding a shopping basket with a group of her students going towards Tegut - the supermarket located right in front the school. Kak Liza said it´s part of the lessons - learn how to shop things! It appears that children not only taught in academic aspect but also learn how to live a life. Interesting eh?

Then Nabilah came out and Nabihah was invited in. We asked Nabilah what did they ask her but Nabilah with her complicated behaviour, just refused to tell, kept saying she just didn´t remember! Nyampah.....

Nabihah came out after 20 minutes and so excited telling us her experience in the room with the two ladies. And because kakak was telling, then only Nabilah wanted to tell her stories too. But I couldn´t hear more as Kak Liza and I was called to get into the room.

At first the ladies talked in Deutsch to us and Kak liza helped translating some of the parts I couldn´t understand. Somehow kak liza explained to me English, then the two ladies said if I can speak English, then we could have the conversation in English. Of course I loved it! I can discuss better.

Then we talked a lot of things. I told them my whole situation - about we are going back to our country for good in March, next year. They seemed refuse to believe it - keep saying what if we still have to stay back, or will have to come back. I know why they were saying these - because majority of foreigners coming to Germany stay here for long time, most choose to migrate for good. So they have the impression we are the same. The fact that my husband is a student, gave them idea that my husband probably will be looking for a job in Germany. Which happens a lot. And they kept saying that I should learn Deutsch too and find a job for myself. I have to explain that my husband already has a job in Malaysia and he´s now studying under Malaysia´s government sponsorship. So the probability of us staying here is so small.

They said they understand (but I can sense they just wouldn´t take it). However, they still want us to cooperate with the school enrollment processes and one of them, they want the twins to attend Deutsch course. They said the twins speak quite good Deutsch - enough for communication but since Deutsch is not their first language, it´s the best to enroll them into Deutsch course so their Deutsch would be better. And the class is free, I don´t have to worry about money. Hmmm...if it has to be paid, I would just say "hai, hai -bye-bye" la! And they asked if I would like to learn too because they can fit us into mother-kids Deutsch class. Well, since I have to send them to this class, it would be better if I learn too. So I said why not?

They said they will inform us about the Deutsch course and our meeting ended there.

Anyway, I´m glad I came to this meeting eventhough at first I was very much reluctant to do it. It´s a new experience - being exposed to the German education system. It´s quite impressive to see how committed these people are to ensure better education for every child they deal with. Imagine they interview each child and parent! According to Nabihah, when she was in the room, they just asked her to draw, play LEGO, and just talking. And they are so friendly and kind, Nabilah said she liked them very much!

Now I feel how it would be nice if the twins have the opportunity to attend this school, even for a short while. Because they may have the learning experience that might be different in Malaysia. I hope they would enjoy school in Malaysia later on.

Ole-ole dr Mekah

Jiran atas kami, satu keluarga Turki. Si suami dan isteri baru pulang dr Mekah selepas menunaikan haji. Sebelum bertolak hari tu, diorg sempat dtg berjumpa kami dan bgtau diorg nak ke Mekah menunaikan haji dan minta kami doakan semoga semuanya baik2 shj utk diorg. Terharunya rasanya bila si isteri bersalam dan memeluk erat sy...inilah nikmatnya Islam menganggap semua umatnya bersaudara.

Keluarga ini mmg baik. Anak2 yg seramai 5 org itu juga baik2 dan sopan2 belaka. Dah la hensem2, cantik2 dan pandai2. The first three skrg semua sedang menuntut di universiti in engineering, medical dan pharmacy. Pada mata kasar sy, diorg ni satu keluarga yg alim. Yang perempuan semuanya bertudung dan selalu dgr org mengaji dr rumah diorg ditingkat atas. Kalau terserempak, mesti senyum dan bertanya kabar. Tapi masalahnya kekangan bahasa, menjadikan sy awkward nak berbual lama2 dgn diorg.

Tengahari tadi, si ayah dtg menghantar sedikit buah tangan dr Mekah. Hmmm...tak sangka walaupun duduk di bumi Deutschland pon kami merasa ole-ole org baru balik haji. Alhamdulilah! Ada kopiah, sejadah, tasbih, minyak atar, henna, buah kurma dan air zam-zam. Terharu kami sbb ingat juga diorg nak bg kami buah tangan.

Ole-ole dr Mekah

segelas air zam-zam dan sedikit kurma

Terima kasih Encik Tetik dan isteri. Semoga Allah s.w.t memberkati anda berdua. Doa2kan kami pulak akan sampai ke Tanah Suci Mekah menunaikan haji suatu hari nanti.

Salju

Salji dah mula turun sejak semalam...agak lebat tapi tak la sampai menutup seluruh permukaan bumi. Sebab suhu baru -1C. So snow cepat cair. Tapi pemandangan cukup indah di mata. Let´s see the photos:

Winter Datang Lagi

Kat luar sana dah sejuk mcm ais. Pokok2 semua dah togel, menandakan autumn dah berakhir dan masanya utk winter. Esok dijangka snow akan turun and I dread the negative temperature!

Hidup dlm negara 4 musim ini, winter adalah musim yg paling sy kurang gemari. Walaupun ini dah winter ke-3 since di bumi Deutschland ini, still I am struggling with mood swing dan mcm2 kind of depression bila tibanya winter. Sedih tak tentu pasal la, malas semakin menjadi2..nak mandi pon boleh depressed! Sejuk terasa sampai ke tulang....kalau boleh tak mo keluar rumah langsung!

Which is normal rupanya for some people to have depression during winter.

And from the news, katanya winter kali ni akan lebih buruk dr winter tahun lepas.

Oh my....

Anyway, i'll be positive going thru this winter. Since this is our last winter in Germany, I guess I'll try to enjoy the snow as much as possible. Si kembar dah tak sabar2 tunggu snow. Every morning diorg bangun, sure jengah ke luar nak tgk snow dah turun ke belum.

Let's see esok snow turun ke tidak....

Laternefest

Khamis lepas, kindrgarten si twins buat laternefest (lantern festival). Rasanya mcm sama dgn pesta tanglung masyarakat Cina. Laternefest ni pada asasnya sempena mengingati kebaikan seorg askar di zaman Roman yg sanggup meredah kegelapan malam dgn membawa lantern demi membantu org2 susah.

Lantern yg digunakan adalah hasil tangan ibu-bapa dan anak2. Dua minggu sebelum tu, ibu-bapa dijemput dtg ke kindy utk sama2 buat lantern. Sy yg agak kureng dlm crafting, agak kalut juga mulanya nak pegi sbb takut nanti lantern x jadi. Tapi sebenarnya sgt senang sbb lantern tu tinggal nak assemble aje dan decorate bagi cantik.

Ramai sungguh yg dtg. Bukan setakat parents dan kanak2 kindergarten saja, nampaknya mcm seluruh family pon dtg! In our case, Kak Liza, Cik Dee dan Awie sama2 dtg join the twins utk laternefest parade. Patut Liza and Liya pon join sekali tapi sbb Liya tido, maka x dpt la Liza join. Yg kelakar, tunggu parade nak mula punya lama, tapi parade berjln x xampai 300m. Dari kindergarten sampai ke rumah org2 tua yg mmg x jauh dr situ. Tapi mujur la x jauh pon sbb dlm dekat2 tu, mcm2 aksi boleh jadi. Lilin lantern terpadam la, ada yg lantern terjatuh la, ada yg menangis2 cari mak ayah la...kot2 jalan jauh lagi, x tau la apa yg jadi. Pulak tu cuaca pon x berapa bagus, sgt berangin dan ada tanda2 hujan mcm nak turun.

With Achik, Cik Dee & Abg Awie

With Luna & Leni

Ramainya!

Kelam kabut cikgu dia try to control the parade....

Dirumah org2 tua, kanak2 kindergarten ni menghiburkan org2 tua yg ada kat situ dgn menyanyikan lagu2. Org2 tua kat sini mmg kesian, hidup diorg mmg sunyi sbb byk masa dihabiskan kat rumah org2 tua saja especially yg dah x sihat dan duduk on wheelchair. So nampak la yg diorg happy sbb tgk kanak2 ni semua. Siap ada org tua tu dok usap2 kepala budak2.

at rumah org2 tua...

Tapi rumah org2 tua kat sini sgt cantik dan selesa. Ala2 hotel gitu. So dr segi penjagaan, mmg tip-top la cuma diorg sunyi la sbb rata2 xde anak & cucu2 dan kalau yg ada pon, jarang sgt la dpt berjumpa dgn ahli keluarga. Kesian kan?

Mudah2an nasib kita bila tua nanti x kesunyian mcm diorg.

Lepas nyanyi2 tu, habis lah sudah laternefest. By the time, hujan dah lebat. Mujur la rumah kami x jauh, x sampai 5 minit dah sampai rumah!

Was ist los??????????

Pagi tadi, sy berjalan menuju ke kedai daging sambil menarik troli brg sy tu.

Sy berjalan di laluan biasa yg sy gunakan - laluan menuju bahnhof. Bukan jalan sunyi, bukan juga jalan yg sibuk.

Dihadapan sy, ada sekumpulan lelaki berjalan. Dari gaya dan percakapan , sy tau mereka ausländer tapi bukan Turki atau Morocco (they have darker look) dan semenjak dua menjak ni sy mmg selalu nampak lelaki2 asing dlm kumpulan besar berkumpul di area rumah sy ini - situasinya mengingatkan sy org2 Bangladesh atau Indonesia bila berkumpul. Bukan nak racist - siapa la sy nak racist bila sy sendiri pon org asing di negara org tapi sorry to say - suasananya sama bila kita nampak Bangla or Indon berkumpul beramai2.

I walked as fast as possible trying to overtake these people sbb diorg jln pon lambat2 sambil gelak2. And the same time I heard someone walking behind me. Tiba2 terasa troli kena tarik! My first thought - aku nak kena rompak ke? I spun around and saw this guy pulling my trolley, grinning at me and said "wie gehts?" (apa khabar?)

Seriously menakutkan!

I was speechless, rasa marah sgt tapi x terkeluar satu perkataan pon. Dia ingat dia bergurau ke apa? Seeing my angry face agaknya, baru la dia ckp "Entschuldigung" (sorry) sambil tersengih2 pastu join the group of men kat depan tu.

After that, though still shocking dgn kejadian tu, I walked as fast as possible passing them and hoping they were not going in the same direction I was going. Dan nasib baik diorg hanya nak ke bahnhof!

Although kejadian tu berlaku dlm tempoh beberapa saat saja, for the first time living in Germany, I feel not safe walking alone!

Inception - Between Dreams and Reality

source from HERE

I just watched Inception - a highly intellectual and complex movie I would say but very entertaining and challenges your thinking. No wonder lots of people recommending this movie. Leonardo di Caprio again is a great actor - just like what he was in "Catch Me if You Can" and "Blood Diamond". Cik HB said he just can´t forget image of Leonardo as Jack in "Titanic". Muka jiwang sgt katanya....hahaha. Well, that was like 12 years ago, he was in his early 20´s i guess...now he´s much better than that.

Ok, i´m not going to talk about Leonardo - hot looking people is no longer a priority for me when I choose a movie. It´s more the story line and the acting skills that matter!

Inception is a story about a group of people stealing information from people´s sub-conscious mind (sleeping/sedated) through dreams. I´m not going to go into details of this movie, you can always read about the movie from Wiki.

I just want to make a review based on my own perspective. The way I understand the movie. It was really difficult to understand the whole situation at the beginning of this movie and you have to really concentrate in order to understand. And some more with the scientific vocabularies and what not, I made cik HB downloaded the English subtitles so I can follow the story much better (well, I´m not a native English speaker, some US/British accents may sound alien to me!) . The word like espionage is a new vocab I learned from this movie.

The main character - Dominic Cobb is the one who led the operation but he had a dark secret that haunted him and affected his job - the memory of his dead wife, Mal . Towards the end of the movie, Dom confronted the memory of his wife and revealed why the wife is dead. It appeared that they once had been trapped in a dream which made them in a state of limbo they lived for so long, and they only escaped the dream by planning their death. Mal, spending so much time in dreams (she and Dom were experts in sub-conscious field), can´t differentiate life between real and dreams that one day she decided to commit suicide because she thought her real life is a dream.

Cik HB said this movie is unreal. That you be in someone´s dream and you actually create the dreams and some more with three-layer dreams and you actually can die in real world when you die in your dream (when you are on sedative). Well, it´s not impossible. There are a lot of studies, researches made to understand human complexities -physical and mental. And knowledge is so wide, only Allah s.w.t knows everything. So yes, anything is possible.

Like I said to cik HB last night, after watching

"do you think people who lived 100 years ago might have thought that it´s possible to communicate with people who lived thousands km away with audio and video visual on real time?"

And you know the answer!

Science is magnificent but we know what is more magnificent.... Do research and study all the science aspects but it´s all to remind us what is more powerful above all - ALLAH. sw.t - the ONE who creates everything - the things we know and don´t!

So if you are looking for some mind-pondering movies, watch this movie. It´s kind of heavy and the ending is tricky because they let you think whether Dom has came back to reality or still dreaming but I find it so entertaining.

Moga Bahagia

We missed another family wedding :(

This time around, wedding adik lelaki sy, Haerie yg dah selamat menikah dgn pasangan pilihan hatinya, Nurul Jumaat lepas. Walaupun happy tgk akhirnya selamat gak adikku nan satu ni kawen (sbb dah bertahun2 kami sekeluarga dok sound dia suh kawen cepat sbb dah lama sgt dok couple ngan awek dia tu), terasa sedih aje tgk gambar2 sekitar perkahwinan dia kat FB...melihat ahli keluarga semuanya ada disitu, kecuali kami sekeluarga (huhuhu...rasa nak nangis nih!)

Thanks to adik sy, Shima yg tolong upload gambar2 perkahwinan Haerie kat FB. Pengantin ropanya dah berangkat ke Sabah berhoneymoon. Patut senyap sunyi FB dia! Kalau x dia dok rajin update status!

To Haerie - selamat bergelar suami...berat tanggungjawab suami ni, jgn dok enjoy sana sini lagi mcm masa bujang. Kena didik isteri sebaik mungkin dan kena ingat tanggungjawab sebagai suami. Jangan juga lupa kat Mak Abah walaupun anda tu dah berkahwin.

To Nurul - selamat dtg ke dlm keluarga Ramli secara rasmi :). Moga kita semua saling sayang- menyayangi dan hormat-menghormati antara satu sama lain. Tak sabar akak nak jumpa kamu as my adik ipar walaupun dah kenal kamu since 6 thn lepas :). Moga kamu menjadi isteri yg solehah dan berjaya membentuk keluarga yg bahagia.

Gambar2 sekitar majlis:

sengih kemain lagi ko Haerie...

Gambar keluarga

My adik beradik perempuan dan anak2 sedara...rindu nak bergossip2 ngan diorg!

Nape Mak jln depan tinggal Abah sorang2 kat belakang tu?

Jalan la sama2 cam pengantin...hehehe

Autumn in My Heart

I love autumn!

It´s so beautiful looking at the surroundings now. Everywhere looks yellow and red with the falling leaves all around.

Something that I´m going to miss when I leave Germany later....

Die Einschuluntersuchung

Amacam? Terbelit tak lidah ngan word Deutsch kat atas tu?

Google Translate defines the word as enrollment examination. Bahasa german ni hebat tang mencantumkan dua tiga perkataan menjadi satu perkataan. Contoh yg lain : Kindervorsorgeuntersuchung = children precautionary screening. So kalau anda nak kena buat karangan 100 patah perkataan dlm Deutsch, byk benda anda boleh tulis sebenarnya sbb boleh cantum2 2,3 malah 4 patah perkataan jadi satu perkataan aje!

Menarik????

Hehehe...ok, bukan pasal bahasa german sy nak citer tapi nak share experience sy pegi buat Einschuluntersuchung utk sikembar semalam.

Einschuluntersuchung ini adalah pemeriksaan utk kelayakan masuk ke sekolah rendah (Grundschule) yg sy ceritakan kat entry lepas. Dijalankan oleh jabatan kesihatan dan masyarakat daerah (sama mcm jabatan kebajikan masyarat Malaysia la kot). Sy ngan cik HB risau jugak mulanya kalau kami x dapat nak berkomunikasi dgn staff kat situ sbb selalunya kami ada Kak Liza yg selalunya ikut bersama bila kami ada urusan rasmi mcm ni dan dia selalu jadi tukang jurucakap. Dan sejak kami buat urusan visa dr awal dulu, kami mmg dah expect pihak2 mcm ni takkan layan kalau kita nak ckp English dgn diorg. Tapi skrg dah 2 thn kami kat sini, boleh la ckp & faham deutsch sikit2 so kalau kita x cuba, how to survive kan?

Kami berurusan dgn satu minah ni, muka x berapa friendly and tak byk ckp. Ok jugak tu, kang kalau dia tanya byk2 soalan pon, kitorg jugak melopong! Kami bagi all related documents dan tunggu dia buat apa2 arrangements yg patut.

Then, kami dibawa masuk satu bilik ini dan dia start buat test ngan Nabihah dulu. Test2 itu:

PART 1

1. Dia tunjuk 4 pensel warna - hijau, biru, kuning dan merah. The kid being asked to tell the colours.

-Nabihah agak slow sikit sbb dia mcm x confident. Bila tiba tang Nabilah, amboi makcik tu..kemain lagi lagu sebut....maklum la dah tgk kakak dia buat dulu!

2. Ujian buta warna - kid being asked to show which one round shape dlm satu kad yg ada byk polar warna dan ada shape2 yg lain (ada byk kad!).

- Both lulus dgn cemerlang! Ok, now I know diorg x buta warna :)

3. Another card with 4 pictures in dotted line. Kid to tell what is the pictures.

- Ok, lulus juga sbb senang

4. Another card with polar warna dan ada gambar objects didalamnya. Kid to tell what are the objects.

- Ok, lulus

5. One shining silver card is shown. Tak tau apa jenis card ni but if look carefully, you can see the objects shapes on it. So the kid is to show the objects and name them.

- Nabihah can see all - bintang, bulan, gajah dan kereta.

- Nabilah nampak kereta as anjing....hahaha

* actually i tried peep into it too, but can´t see anything...lagi teruk!!!!

6. Ujian penglihatan - sama mcm kita buat kat kedai cermin mata. The kid to look into the eye test equipment tu and tell whether the object E is up, down, left or right. Lama juga test ni dibuatnya. Tiga kali rest in between!

- kesimpulan: Dua2 masih ada good eyesight...mudah2an tak perlu cermin mata sampai ke besar....jgn jadi mcm mak dia, rabun jauh kronik.....huhuhu. Kena control jgn tgk TV dekat sgt and ngadap laptop lama2 dan kena byk mkn karot ye anak2!

7. Ujian pendengaran - earphone on kid´s ears then bila ada bunyi ´beep´ON, the kid to press the connected button immediately.

- Agak bermasalah mulanya buat test ni ngan Nabihah sbb dia confuse bila dia patut tekan button tu. Dia pi tekan all the time! Kena buat byk kali baru dia faham.

- Nabilah being the 2nd doing the test, siap ckp "ich weiß" even before staff tu abis explain. Ok, dia mmg tahu sbb dia buat seperti yg disuruh.

- kesimpulan: there is no hearing problem

Then kami keluar dr bilik tu and kemudian ke bilik lain tapi still dgn staff yg sama

PART 2:

1. Ukur berat & tinggi

2. Disuruh melompat ke kiri kanan dgn kedua2 belah kaki

- oh, favourite si kembar. Mesti la lulus dgn cemerlang.

3. Lukis semula objek2 yg ditunjuk dlm sekeping kertas

- melukis semula pon mmg favourite.

4. Ulang perkataan yg disebut oleh staff tersebut. Ok, yg ini sy pon x tau apa kah bahasa yg digunakan. Antara yg sy ingat:

SANGA SUKA

MAMI MACA

lebih kurang camtu la...ada lebih kurang 10 ayat camtu kot dia sebut. Sikembar ada yg sebut sama, ada yg diorg sebut tah hapa2...i guess itu suku kata utk test sebutan kanak2.

5. Then dia baca ayat - agak panjang, dan budak disuruh ulang. Sy dgr pon sy rasa tak boleh nak ulang ayat penuh. Tang ini sy rasa mmg memerlukan penguasaan bahasa Deutsch yg baik utk dpt buat test ini dgn cemerlang. And sy sendiri x tau level penguasaan Deutsch sikembar sbb kat rumah diorg x cakap deutsch. Tapi sy pasti tahap Deutsch diorg rendah aje, sbb diorg x attend Deutsch course (sy ada ditanya samada anak2 attend Deutsch course ke tak)....x byk vocab yg diorg tau, ckp pon grammar tunggang terbalik kot. Ada beberapa ayat dibaca, sy rasa ada few words aje yg sikembar mampu ulang dgn betul. Takpe la anak2ku....sbb kamu pon nak balik Malaysia dah x lama lagi.

6. Staff tu sebut word dlm pronunciation yg salah dan budak diminta betulkan sebutannya. Cth: SCHO-OLADE (betul: SCHOKOLADE) , KRO-ODILE (betul: KROKODILE), SPAG-ETI (betul: SPAGHETTI) dan ada few lagi yg sy sendiri pon tak tau bunyi betulnya macamana...kikiki. Again vocab in Deutsch kena tau banyak la part ni. So kembar byk yg tak boleh jawab part ini.

Then keluar bilik tu, masuk bilik lain pulak. And jumpa staff lain. Suka staff ini sbb dia sgt warm dan suka senyum. Yg first tu muka masam dan mcm tensen (rasa mcm dia x suka ausländer (org asing) aje...). Then dia interview kami about few things, kami dtg dr mana, berapa lama di Deutschland dan pasal Deutsch course. Kemudian dia buat few tests ngan si kembar.

PART 3

1. Budak disuruh kira 1-10 in Deutsch.

-ok, lulus

2. Dia buka booklet dan suruh compare gambar2. Show similar object/patterns. Byk pages, about 1o kot.

Then dgn kami dia ckp few things lagi - bila sy tak boleh nak faham sgt sy bgtau sy cuma boleh ckp Deutsch sikit2 aje dan boleh kah dia ckp English. Oh, dia kata dia x boleh ckp English. Dari cara dia ckp dia mcm nak nasihatkan kami supaya hantar anak2 ke Deutsch course and so forth dan kami pon kena belajar Deutsch dgn baik, sy terpaksa la explain yg kami kat sini utk tempoh yg pendek aje dan bulan Mac tahun depan akan balik ke Malaysia for good. So kembar mmg takkan masuk sekolah kat sini (sy explained dlm English)

Dan dia kata " you should have told the school before they make you come here" - eh, boleh pulak ckp english!!!

Now you tell me that! Sy kata sy dah bgtau tapi sy disuruh dtg jugak. So maybe sekretari tu x paham or malas nak kisah, janji dlm rekod dia semua settle. Ntah...sy pon malas nak question coz it will make things complicated.

Dia pon kata, dia faham because of the strict regulation, somehow we just have to follow.

And one thing that I understand the reasons behind all these - waktu sy attend Deutsch course dulu, cikgu sy penah ckp since terlalu ramai äuslander di daerah sy duduk skrg ni (org turki & morocco paling ramai sekali, dan diorg mampu hidup tanpa integrasi dgn bangsa lain sbb komuniti diorg besar) ianya menimbulkan masalah kepada pihak kerajaan. Anak2 äuslander dikatakan bermasalah disekolah sbb tak mampu menguasai Deutsch dgn baik, maka diorg jadi x minat belajar (maafkan sy kalau fakta ini x betul, sy hanya kutip here and there dari cerita org2 yg dah lama duduk sini). Ada parents äuslander pulak, since x pandai ckp Deutsch, x ambil tahu hal anak2 disekolah.

Tapi tak semua la mcm tu...jiran Turki atas rumah sy ni, anak2 dia cemerlang belaka. Yg sulung, lelaki belajar engineering kat TU Darmstadt, sama uni ngan cik HB, the second one, perempuan - belajar medic di university Frankfurt dan the third one, juga perempuan, belajar pharmacy juga di Frankfurt.

Maybe ada la kot statistik dan kajian yg menunjukkan adanya masalah integrasi dan bahasa dikalangan äuslander yg menyebabkan wujudnya regulations yg makin lama makin ketat.

Anyway, the examination ended sampai disitu. Kami x tau pon apakah penilaian yg diberikan kepada si kembar sbb ianya adalah confidential dan akan diberikan kepada pihak sekolah utk further action. Sy rasa kalau kami terpaksa stay disini lebih lama dan anak2 attend sekolah sini, sure Deutsch course is mandatory for us.

Actually bagus examination ni. Ianya x la menjurus kepada akademik sgt tapi lebih kepada pembangunan fizikal dan mental kanak2. Like bila buat eye test, ear test - kita tau lebih awal kalau2 anak kita mmg ada masalah eyesight or hearing.

Kat Malaysia pon dgr cerita skrg ada exam before masuk Darjah Satu kan? Tapi exam yg macamana ye?
