International school

Came home...no one was here. AzD and Aiman are still in Wollongong. So took some time to update my blog. Aiman is currently at Mama Azreen's house. He must be having fun coz there are kids the same age as him.
Was planning to send Aiman to a new babysitter today but had to cancel it. It'll be his first time with the new babysitter. I cant just leave him there like that. Kang demam terkejut lak budak tu kena tinggal with someone he has never seen before. Probably on Friday or maybe Saturday, will be the trial day for Aiman. Will drop him off, stay with him for a little while then off I go. And it wont be a whole day thingy, just a few hrs the most.
So Aiman had been to various international schools (that's what my abah called...hehehe). When he was just abt 4 mths ++, we sent him to his very first bbsitter; Jasmin (from Bangladesh). I dropped him in the morning then off to school. Then picked him up in the evening. The first day we sent him, Aiman cried and cried. Sedih kena tinggal kot (ala mama dia pun srooot srroott gak). When we picked him up that day, he didnt want to look at our face when we called his name (kecik2 dah merajuk..ciiit).
After a while we stopped sending Aiman to Jasmin. Then starting from last year till now, whenever Azd goes to wollongong, he'll bring aiman along and drop him off at kak azreen's house. Biasa la first day uhuk uhuk. After a while he got use to it and now I think he has fun staying over there. Good for him!! At least he mingles with other kids as well.
At the same time, we tried to find another babysitter closer to home so that we could send him there if Azd decided to stay at home to do his work. We managed to find one (from an ad in Lakemba). This time it was a Palestinian couple. We sent Aiman there like 2x/week. Since there weren't any kids (except for every thursdays), Aiman was all alone. Kesian anak mama.
I wasn't full heartedly happy everytime Aiman was there, I dunno why. So alas, we stopped sending Aiman to sekolah tok arab (as my abah called it).
Then last week, we met a new babywitter, Nunu (from Indonesia, which part of Indo I forgot). She was introduced to us by Tante Eli. She just came to Australia about a year ago with her hubby and their 2 yr old daughter. Had a little chat with Nunu.... which in the end I got a minor headache trying to communicate with her. Hahahaha... Masing2 tak berapa nak paham. For example she asked me, "Aiman masih diberi asi nggak?".. I was like huh...ape ke bendanya asi nih??? nasi ke??
"asi? apa itu asi? saya nggak ngerti nunu," I asked her, trying my best to immitate her indo dialect. hahahaha.... kelakar giler!!
i think she was trying to explain it to me sampai ketat2 muka dia... nasib baik tante was there and she said "oh asi..... itu Air Susu Ibu"
Hahahaha....ceh ingatkan makanan special apa..rupanya susu ibu dong!! pusing bangat!
There were some other stuffs that Nunu and I had trouble understanding each others word, which I find was quite funny but I cant think of any right now. hehehe.
So there you are.... international schools for Aiman.. starting with IBS (International Bangla School), to Malay, Arabic and latest Indonesian school. ngeh3x.
Hopefully everything will be OK with this new bbsitter, insya allah!!!!
