The Last Day of Pre-Nursery

Suuuper Sleepy! Had wanted to have an early night but ended up sleeping late last night, haiz...

After picking Eileen up from kovan market, I rushed home and another 'lucky' day, so I managed to get the papers for daddy again, :)

Good thing daddy's golf game's in the afternoon, and I got him to help me to cut/prepare the shaped, buttered sandwiches with cheese. Due to time constraint, we only managed to make 30 of them in heart/flower/bear shapes. Zhou laoshi commented : "oh, hao piao liang!" when I passed her the aluminium tray, heee.

Watching the children in the class party was simply heartwarming and soothing :).

The party food AND Q-ing up to go to the toilet for hands washing

More of mommy's shaped cheese sandwiches and Library Time for Renee!, hahaha

The children were asked to come forward to the buffet spread(provided by parents) one by one and those who can't wait after a while, started going to the table themselves hahaha. Renee was the 2nd or 3rd kid being called and needless to say, she asked for her mommy's sandwiches and before I left, I saw her went back for more. Our sandwiches appeared on some other kids' plates too, and that sure was a happy sight! lolz.

Went with Janice, Jerome's mommy to a nearby Mac for a quick bite and latte, during which we shared notes on the portfolio. Then, with Janice's itchy backside again hahaha, we went to check out 1 nearby PCF kindergarten. Oh man, I'm not sure how much better the newer establishments are/will be, but this one was messy, cramp and though the principal had said that she declined air=conditioned for the want of ventilation, I sure didn't see the desired result... Not when the Nursery, K1 and K2 are all in the same room!(and we're there when no children were there). It's sooo much like a small childcare establishment. The menu's a miserable 5day layout and it's repeated throughout the whole year!(I only remembered the 1st one on list, Monday, is - Sponge cake and dun recall any real 'full meal' kinda food indicated) and their 'kitchen' is also near to the 'class sections'. I guess it's really you get what you pay for kinda society we're living in, so much for government's subsidy...

Janice, whom holds a diploma in early childhood learning had asked the principal some questions and from one of them, we learned that her teachers mostly held diplomas by KLC, which is by Kinderland! This is the first time I realised that Kinderland actually has a training school for teachers!!!
