Yes, our darling is 4 today!
She had been sooo excited about distributing the favors to her friends that she woke up early today despite having gone to bed late last night at 11pm! In fact, she had been counting down to this day and I've never seen her being sooo accurate to the 'what day is today' question, for the past few days!
Most of her friends were already in the classroom when we arrived with the packed goodies and the moment her friends sang the Happy Birthday song, she was scratching, scratching and scratching her head, hahaha. So much for the excitement and ended up being shy lolz...
The kids were all sooo excited too when they saw the lunch boxes but the teachers had their way to calm them down and in seconds, they were all sitting down quietly to wait for their 'gift' patiently, :D.
Oh oh, when Renee was passing the bag of pencils for her friends to pick/choose, Mrs Ong, the English teacher asked where I've gotten them from. Told her that I've bought them during my previous trip to Shanghai and that I've seen them being sold locally now. Then she asked "the lunch boxes too?" to which I replied that they're bought locally and that the goodies are being packed into them separately. Zhou laoshi, being diplomatic, commented that I had made an big effort which I assured her that it wasn't too much of a trouble, :D. I guess I knew where Mrs Ong's 2nd question was coming from and I was actually quite pleased to learn that the teacher took a concern to the items distributed to the kids especially when she heard that the pencils are from China(what with the food scam in China).
With no actual celebration held, we managed to keep disruption to the class routine to the least and thereafter, I went to Hougang Mall to get some stuffs and met up with Eileen for a dessert/chat.
Although we had parted early, it's still too late for me to go back to cook Renee's lunch. So, I bought a cup of corn and headed back to her school. Being so early, I decided to wait at the admin office and the VP chatted with me(just when I had thought she was growing 'unapproachable', hahaha. She told me that she's noticed Renee and commented about her, :). I was rather surprised that she remembered which child's mine, :D).
PX came today and I was sooo busy fixing, altering the curtains that Renee had to have her dinner real late and it was past 8pm by the time we've both finished our meal when she began her practice. She did quite well today(I've decided to stick to the more fun way in coaching her than using the stern/scolding method - also to help me maintain my sanity! hahaha) and it being her birthday, I gave her 2 heartshaped candies(1 for the usual 5 stars accumulation), :D.
It's a good thing I've remembered to get a pc of cake for PX as she'd really kept her promise to Renee and came with a present today!
There are still quite a bit of area needed packing/cleaning which I'll have to follow up the next few days as my fingers are now sore and cracked(from the sewing, washing).
Right now, as I'm typing this post, this cheeky girl came to me(yes, not asleep yet, haiz) and said : "mommy, Vanessa has a makeup set, she put inside her bag. When she see Ms Quek, she pass it to her and Ms Quek put the earrings for her" and grinned at me. I asked her what's that grin's about and she said "because I want you to buy that for me" *grin*, hahahahaha.
