What's Overwhelming - After sending Adam to Real Kids, Aidee and I rushed to SRK Taman Sri Tebrau to register our son for next year's Primary School Session. It struck me for a moment then that my son, Adam, will now be experiencing a whole new world of schooling once he steps foot onto a 'real' school. Fortunately enough for him, he has had some kindergarten exposure prior to the 'new era'... And how time really flies, as we looked back in retrospect at all the things that we've gone through as a young family trying to find a firm footing on the grounds, and struggling to work our way up on the steps of a successful life. I realized that in our continuous attempts to reach a certain plateau, we should always strive to persevere and never think of giving up. True enough, challenges will fall on our ways, probably giving much hindrances to our on-going effort. But that should not deter us from moving on with our lives... And one fine day, Adam will have to learn all that by himself... it's the cycle of life... :-)
What's Sickening - The processes and the procedures (i.e. the bureaucratic Red Tapes) we had to go through to get the School Registration fully complied. My wife had already called the school earlier and was notified of a few things to be prepared prior to Registration. Come the day, more things were needed e.g. wrong value of Stamps were informed, Pay Slips were required, and Employer's Stamp and Endorsements were needed before we could submit the Main Forms. Why didn't the school inform us all earlier when we called them up? Why wait until the very last moment to highlight to us all? Why all the unpleasant 'unnecessaries' and 'stupidities' appear to be coming from people who have been working with the Government Sector for ages? How the heck can Government Departments improve themselves if they continue to do such silly things after all this while? The Prime Minister and the Ministers can only do so much... what about the rest down the hierarchy? Sleeping? Too happy and contented?
What's 'Happiness' To My Soul - The boss was down with fever, and suspeted of being infected with the Dengue Fever. No feeling of empathy whatsoever, just a deliberate and delightful display of wicked contentment... :-)
What's Good - Johor Land called us up for a meeting, after a long silence. Hopefully, we could work something out for the year 2010.
What's In Store - For the month of March, apart from my Big Day at the end of the month, we will be looking forward to our Trip to Hanoi and settling some things with regards to hiring of a New Maid to replace Bibik Sumi. And March is also the month where all the Big Expenses will start to pile in - car repairs, car insurance renewal, holidays, new maid hire, Adam's Piano lessons... sigh!!!
