Back to school – Part Two (Being a Banana)
One the day of orientation, hubby drop us at the school main gate cos he have to park a little further. Being a first timer in the school, I was lost in direction. Luck thing they have some signboard around guiding parents. Since this is a chinese school, even their signboard is in chinese. Me being a banana almost throw that signboard into the nearest dustbin. I have to stop a passerby to read them for me. So embarrassing.
Found Princess classroom. We were ask to filled up lots of forms. Thanks God all the forms is in Bahasa. The dental checkup, the immunization card and insurance form. The insurance is optional so I told the teacher I’m not interested.
(The below conversation is in Mandarin)
“You just sign the form and write the word “you-don’t-want”
I wrote the “t” and was about to write “tidak mau” and the teacher say just write a simple word – ä¸è¦. This time I know kena embarrased again. So I told the teacher – 我ä¸ä¼šå†™ä¸æ–‡ (I can’t write chinese). And she also very paiseh and took over the forms.
Good thing hubby came and I ask him to stick around just incase the teacher need me to write more chinese. wakaakaaa….

I don’t know how to write my girl’s name in Chinese. I was so paiseh when the teacher asked me to write my girl’s name in Chinese. Luckily Pappy was around to write. *aiyo shame shame*. Heehee, I’m learning, I’m learning.
The Queen says: *shake hand* The problem is, I can’t remember the strokes. I think I need gingko liao. Lucky thing, Daughter has been trained by her kindie teacher.Â

What is Bahasa? 0.0
I’d be totally lost. God bless your princess in the new school.
The Queen says:Â That is Malay languageÂ
