Juz Us,
your in laws must be cantonese!
Preschool is not compulsory but they're talking to amend it more for those who need financial assistance, families from lower income backgrounds, families who have to work shifts so no time to send children to school.
Jelly,

mint,
homeschooling for preschool is good too. i'm using kindergarten as an avenue for social development (bad and good), going to send her for chinese speech and drama (coz for the love of God, her mama and papa no speaka chinois much) although i did almost translate a whole piece of MOE press statement from chinese to english for my paper, something on change in delivery of chinese curriculum in preschools and kindergartens. half way, had to scan the article and send to my mom for help. hahaha..
you know i'm very keen on playgroups between us, don't mind opening up my place when i get it and travelling to other mommies homes either. I suppose it's ony fair that we'ld all help each other to clean up.
dimple,
enjoy your lunchie munchies~
