It's a Fly Day

I did say I will blog once a week, so it's time for another of my ramblings. This week, I have had the 'luxury' to have proper lunch in the company of my dearest colleagues since my hubby can send my son to school (meaning I don't have to rush out during lunch to send my son to school, something I have been doing since he started attending chinese classes offered by his school, outside of his normal time table!). Yesterday, we had Nasi Kandar from Nilai, packed by some of my colleagues who took the trouble to drive there and back. Many thanks to them and the food was indeed good. And many thanks for the good recommendation too, you know who you are.

Today, we went to the club house and this is also one place that serves great food. I had prawn fried rice since it's Friday (no meat day).

But they serve many other delicous food like this great chicken sandwich on homemade bread. Already I am feeling the kilos adding on as I speak about food, I better drop that and talk about something else...

Now on a whole different topic, I was reading this article about Malaysian Schools on the Nut Graph and it made me doubtful again about our choice for school for our sons. Gosh, will they blame us, in 20 years time? You see we (or largely me) decided to place our sons in national schools instead the increasingly popular chinese vernacular schools. I had many reasons, all valid, which I shall not elaborate here. But articles like these are making me real scared.

Why should we have so many types of schools anyway? And the Education systems and the constant policy changes sucks big time. Can they do anything right? Education is so essential in bringing up the next generation to become even more successful then the current one but are we moving in reverse gear or something? My kids are not some lab mice for you to test your policies on! Racial polarsations is so obvoius that they have create NS to try to make amends? But what can a lone parent do? We could home school them but that's like way drastic. Private school, you say? I have 3 kids, not one, cannot afford la...

Meanwhile, I am sorry la son, you have to go through all these but I know you are enjoying the very little homework life you are having as a Year 1 national school kid, compared to the other friends in the Chinese schools. I can only pray that whatever decisions we made for you will not deprive you of a bright future. Mummy loves you...
