vive la rentrée des classes!
A note from school's website:
Rentrée scolaire 2010-2011... C'est parti !
Et voila c'est reparti pour une nouvelle année scolaire pour le LFS.
Les 255 nouvelles familles ont pu découvrir, le mardi 31 août lors de la réunion d'accueil, une nouvelle école et obtenir toutes les informations nécessaires pour la rentrée autour des stands d'informations qui leurs étaient proposés.
Pour l'ensemble des élèves de l'école primaire ce fut la découverte de nouveaux locaux. Nous nous retrouvons cette année sur un même campus suite aux 2 années de travaux qui ont permis à notre bel établissement de s'agrandir pour accueillir dans les meilleures conditions les 1780 élèves et 200 personnels qui faisaient leur rentrée le jeudi 2 septembre. Les effectifs du LFS en ce jeudi 2 septembre :
- à la Maternelle :360
- à l'élémentaire : 755
- au collège : 430 - au lycée : 235
Today is the first day at school, the first duty for me too. Many unprepared things and actions from all service. Foods in the canteen were not ready yet when the 1st group came in, the kids needed to wait for their foods causing delay, so they didn't get the ice cream for dessert because they simply didn't have enough time when the 2nd group came in.
During recess, I had to take two kids had to school nurse because they fell down, nothing serious but I thought I better put them in the right place and in the right hands.
School finished, I saw a sea of children and parents who pick them up from school, children who took a school bus must lined up according to the bus number they've been given through email from the bus company. They went into their buses and when the buses moved, I looked for my own children and took them home together.
What I feel, when I saw my little girl patiently waiting for me in her class with her teacher, I felt guilty but she looked happy once she saw me and her big sis came to pick her up. I know all we need is just getting used to new routines, and I really hope everything will be fine and in order for next couple of days ...

Finally ..
Yep, finally I finalized and signed my part-time contract as a "surveillante" today, and the Letter of Consent (LOC) yesterday. Got my temporary badge and be ready for duty.Actually I started last week on the 26th August. Only came down to office and got to know colleagues, they showed me and other surveillante the school and the new building. Where we're going to monitor each day. Yesterday we came in the afternoon to help the primary administration office preparing files for today's teacher's meeting.
Today all school staff and teacher gathered for a brief breakfast together served by school's cafeteria, but as I was fasting I just sit and talked with fellow surveillante. The "assemblee generale" started on 9 AM, presentation new "provisseur" and all new staff, me included. 10 AM all gathered to have a photo shot and that was it. We can go home. I fetched the kids at my friend's house and we went home.
Funny thing is, I saw in my contract it mentioned -- Disciplinarian, meaning we need to watch and discipline the primary children during their time out of classroom, which I imagine will be quite a challenge :-)
Last night before bed husband said, "now, finally you get back to work after so many years" .. I was so exhausted last night and replied "hm hm .." then I didn't remember anything else :-)) I know that he's happy and his point of view has changed now that our children are growing up.. I feel that with times, we finally could understand each other's life goals and dreams .. I might just need a little more patience and a gentle move on getting back to work little by little ... just like one teacher said to me today (she's Nadia's kindergarten assistant teacher last year) .. "it doesn't matter if you started as a part-timer, this school is keep on moving and people may come and go and I'm sure you'll get more opportunities, eventually .." I smiled and nodded, yes eventually ... but what if we have to move before I can taste that opportunities? .. well, the story keep repeating it self, every time ..

for the teachers
I decided to make (very simple) bags for my kids' teachers. They're actually made from tea towel I bought at IKEA, I really love the colors and motives so I kinda hacked and used them as fabric material instead.
I didn't put any lining inside so the bag came out more like a foldable roomy shopping bag. I didn't put any embroidery or embellishments either since I couldn't find any that suit both

hal yang menyenangkan dari memiliki sarang baru adalah… dekor! saya sangat tergila-gila warna putih. jadi dari awal saya udah bilang sama suamigila [...]

Happy Teacher’s Day!
Teacher's Day in Spore is on September 1, where it's school holiday and the celebrations usually conducted the day before, which means tomorrow and I still haven't made any appreciation gift for my kids' teachers.
I did made some Teacher's Day reversible bags and pouches, but those are customized orders. I even forgot to take a picture of the pouches before I sent them to their owners.

God, you know what's in my heart, what i'm feeling now. please take good care of it, let it smile knowing that someone out there is thinking of it ...
