Yes, school has re-open starting Monday (05.01.2009) and as at today, this will be the 2nd day of school for Josh. Josh was so happy when his teacher told us that no class on that day (Monday) due to registration for the new students.

Josh was so happy that he didn’t even realize his parents face was sad.  Of course sad lah, we pay almost RM400 for his books, fees, etc etc.  1 kid = RM400, twins= RM800++, pengsan lah!! and we thought that was expensive until I called my brother who has a son same age as Josh. My brother paid RM600+++!!! Gosh!!! Double pengsan.

This make me think how do people with lower income survive especially with 4 to 5 children going to school. Yes, going to Government school cheaper but still, there is an amount of money to pay. Now I understand, it is not easy to become a parent. How about you parents out there? Any advice to this newly parent?

I told hubby earlier that we won’t spend more than RM200 on Josh school fees not knowing that it can be so expensive. I was soooooo wrong!! Sigh…there goes my kitchen faucets. It has to waitlah, sigh!
