starting school

And so Hana is starting her journey into School life very soon
She has been registered to start at Hanis Montessori this upcoming year.
Not that she has not gone for any school yet as she has been attending parent and child classes at the Growing UP Gifted just like her sisters before. The difference thouqh is that she is attending the mandarin class with both of us trying to catch up and understand what Lao Zhi (hmmm... did I get that right?) is asking us to do! 

It is kind of ironic that as much as she has learnt a little mandarin (like the words all little kids love - piku or buttocks.... to think of it what is it with kids and buttocks or other language variations of it?), she somehow does not speak Malay though the bibik tries hard to speak to her in the language.

Well not so much she does not speak it at all but the words are spoken with an English twang to it! To the chagrin of the grandparents!

Nenek: ini ikan (pointing to fish)

Hana: no not eecan, this is fish!
