So, we finally received our children's assessment result and alhamdulillah they have passed the test. So now, time to register. We went to school to get the registration form and seek the necessary information that we need to know with regards to the school, our children's needs, school requirements, etc.
There are a few part of the form which as usual the Letter of Undertaking, parents and children's particulars, medical report, school bus (do not have to fill this up if the children is going to school by private transport i.e by parents etc.)
After all the information are ready, we then submitted the forms together with medical reports. I will share below the registration forms and what not for references. Will also share the medical procedures taken for school entry undergone by my children.
Lot's of Love,

Since we get our Iqama late in April 2015 and schools no longer accept new students during their final exam weeks, my children will not be able to join school not until September this year. Planned to send both Faiq and baby to prep school while waiting for the school's new intake in September 2015.
Called Smart Zone pre-school for admission. Prepared both Faiq and baby for their so called first day at school. Just to get them used to schooling system as well as communicating with peers. But the kindy do not accept children more than 5 years of age. So I can only register Fatini into the kindergarten. This is her very first day going to school by bus. Faiq on the other hand had to stay at home with me while waiting for new school term.

Before going to Dhahran Mall, went to have our lunch at Nusantara Indonesian Restaurant in Dammam. We went out at around 2pm and thus we reached dammam city before the Asr Prayer. Despite the day was Friday which is a public holiday in Saudi, the city road seemed clear and not jammed as yet. (maybe people will most probably go out after Maghrib or Asr).
It is quite easy to go to the restaurant as it is quite straight forward. There are a variety of Indonesian food stated in the menu BUTTTTT the ones that we want are not available. We wanted to sample the Ayam penyet and ayam bakar menu which was said to be the hit of this restaurant. Since the menu are not available, we have to settle with tomyum (i can go to jubail thai restaurant for this), fried mee, rendang and fish.
Not a very good first impression for us tho and my husband do not want to go to that restaurant again. Pricing wise - it was OK. standard saudian food price.
GPS point of the restaurant
Have to park a bit far as the parking lots nearby the restaurant are all full.
At the entrance of the restaurant
large mirrors. great for selfies..but the sun is too glaring
Menu at the restaurant. We wanted to try Ayam penyet and ayam bakar which was recommended by husband's friend. But the menu is out of stock and not available. Blerghhhhhhhh
The interior of the restaurant
Got some by the beach paintings on the wall
Mommy is already bored waiting too long for the food to arrive
We waited for quite a while. The service is too slow.
The fried mee is quite OK
Ordered tom yum which is quite disappointing
Ergh they only have this indonesian soy sauce.
