GA and TWink

Visited the Genius Aulad at Bdr Puteri, Puchong. Alhamdulillah, the school is much2 more appealing to not just me, but Danish as well! Alhamdulillah.. i cannot express this enuff.. His fear for school has been making me very nervous. Saw him making himself at home the minute he stepped into the school was fantastic.

What i love from the school:
1) Everything is in English.. hmm.. this will be a setback when he starts real school, cos i myself expose him less of BM books. But he speaks BM just as well.
2) They teach Iqra' at school.. I don't have to look for Iqra' class.
3) They have lots of extra activities..
4) It's clean, it looks like real school (not in houses like C*IC, P*asti), air-conditioned, well decorated for kids' preference
* Of all that, i love #2 and #4 the most.

And Danish agrees to go to school next year there.. Hopefully this remains the same until January comes.

Then we came across Tweedle Wink, which is on the same row of shops. It's a Right Brain Enrichment programme. So we took a look and inquired everything we can about the programme. Its an hour weekly programme, and urrgghh.. i so love this one too. The setback has got to be the expensive fees.

Why i really want the right brain "teaching"?
Because, right brainer is supposed to have stronger long term memory than left brainer. I remember how i sufferred from exams when i was studying. My routine before any exams was to go through evrything once again, which inevitably caused me to breakdown once in a while. I'm hoping with right brain programme, my kids would have photographic memory and wouldn't have to struggle so much like their mama.

When i talk to my mom about right brain, she immediately talks about creativity. Right brain is not just about creativity, it's about having more sensitivity towards your surrounding. Right brain kids supposedly say "Television" immediately after you show them a card that writes "Television", rather than look at the word and spell each letter out and get them together and say "Television". That kind of thing.

Now, i'm torn whether i should send Danish or Yaya to the Tweedle Wink. If i send yaya, i'll be accompanying her for the sessions. 4 years above go on their own. The younger the kids the more they use their right brain, as they get older their left brain starts taking over. The balance is important. Besides i think at home, Yaya is always overshadowed. Reading a book, it's more about abang learning to read. Even if Yaya's reading with me, sometimes abang would come and blurted out the name of things i'm pointing at.
Because of the excitement the place gives (they love this one as well yesterday), and all the opinions i get so far from others in the web, i think i would end up sending both, it's so not fair if i just send one of them. I think i just want both of them to experience it on their own. It's so much fun, this place!
