Year 1

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Actually, it’s Orientation Week for Year 1 Students of 2008.

It’s Miss D’s First experience in the new environment. And the First time she put on the all too familiar blue and white pinafore that represents Primary School. Needless to say, when I saw her in her full gear, my heart was warm and a speck of tear formed at the edge of my eye. :-p

Day One was pleasant. Dan had no problem reporting for class despite all instructions being in Chinese. There was one short uncomfortable moment when one little boy cried after his mom left him, but his cries toned down when Teacher took him to sit nearer to her desk and next to a little girl. Poor guy cried again the next day. Otherwise, all was well in class and remained that way for the rest of the week. :-)

Here’s Mommy’s Big School Girl…

Here she is putting her stationery on the desk.

Good thing was, this is Yvonne from another class in Miss D’s Kindie. Ada juga lah kawan yang kenal… :-)

This is her class partner, lunch buddy and ‘bodyguard’ Timothy. He made it his business to follow Miss D everywhere. ;-) )

So this was week 1.

School in REAL-LIFE begins come January 2008!

Of Concerts & Graduation

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

It was a Full Day Saturday, 27 October 2007!

Started with the Daycare’s Annual Concert featuring the Children of the Daycare at 9am. Spunky was enthusiastically doing her thing during her performance, even her Teacher commented likewise! We figure she must like the audience a lot. :-P

Miss D & Miss MelĀ  along with their other after-school-care friends put on a show too. It was titled the Rasa Sayang.

This year we won a Lucky Draw Hamper! ;-) Banyaklah snacks untuk Cool Daddy tengok bola! :-P

It was mid-day by the time we got home, and after a short nap, off we went to send Miss Mel to her classmate’s Birthday Party. In the meantime, we got Miss D ready for the event that was to be her highlight of the day, Graduation!

Here she is with fellow little Graduates doing the Toothbrush Song.

And here she is receiving her Reader Award. There was a warm feeling in my heart seeing her pick this award up. She is a keen reader and I guess I was just so proud of her. ;-)

And here she is receiving her Kindergarten Diploma.

Here’s the Graduates ‘Gelang Sipaku Gelang’ Finale. I was at the Rehearsal of this performance the day before, and I realised that this would be the last days of ‘babyhood’ and will be the start of ’school-in-the-real-world-hood’. I teared up as the Little Graduates gave the curtain call. :-p (Oops.. there’s proud Daddy catching it all on video right up there!)

This little boy waited a lonnng time to get a photo with Miss D. We learned later that its her classmate and fellow Toothbrush Song performer, Sherman. Entahlah kenapa dia mau sangat begambar sama si Miss D. ;-p

Here’s everyone who came…

What an eventful day!

But one full of wonderful memories… ;-) )
