Finally, our darling girl is attending K1 this year, how time flies(just found out that all her new 'bigger' shoes are getting to be just nice now and I've to dig for thinner socks in order for her to wear her new pair of shoes to sch tmrw)...
She had been looking forward to returning to school(oh why not, it's been 4 mths afterall, incl the nov/dec sch hols) and for the past couple of days, she's been waking up early that I 'warned' her not to do that on her 1st day of school, least she'd be too tired to enjoy it, :). And whenever I mentioned 'today' to her, she'd tell me "mommy, don't tell me, it's supposed to be a surprise for me on Monday", hahaha.
Last night, being excited I supposed, she couldn't fall asleep despite being quite tired already. That however, helped in a way, 'cos she didn't wake up til 9:32am this morning and when she heard me in the toilet, she got up, said to me outside the toilet door "mommy, I woke up already, 'cos I looked at the clock and it's 9:32am". Why she said that? - it's becos I've told her not to wake up before 9:30am, hahaha.
She tried to contain her excitement whilst at home getting ready and today, being the 1st day, I've anticipated 'car jam' at the compound and had asked hubby to take us there. The moment I brought her to the hall, she quickly asked to have her wondeeeeerful trolley bag and sat immediately down beside Vanessa to share with her what she's brought along. However, Vanessa didn't respond(like she did when we went back just before we joined the CC) and luckily I did not really detect any sadness from my girl's expression which means she's still ok, not hurt and is willing to 'wait', :).
In the classroom, whilst the host teacher, Mrs Ong(same as last year-they usually try to let the existing host teacher to take them onto the next level as familarity helps the children to concentrate on learning better) and the new(not new as in new with the school) Chinese language teacher tried to settle them down, I looked on, outside the classroom. Mrs Ong caught sight of me and waved and then, after a little 'discussion' with Renee, she came out to seek my opinion on which table to place Renee at - 'cos the one Renee wanted('cos her fav Van's at that table! lolz) is in the direction of the air-con blower and would be too cold for Renee. I of 'cos chose the one which Mrs Ong had intended for her and Renee pouted for a second at the decision, hahaha.
As hubby didn't go out early and I wasn't feeling quite well, he said he'd pick her up from school but as I felt better after a nap, I went along with him. Wanted to lunch out but as I've already prepared Renee's lunch, he went for his and I cooked my share back home. Renee took a long time to finish her lunch and she said that she's still quite full from the 4 bowls of fried mee tai mak she took at school, hahaha. The bowls are small but I'm very happy that she still likes the food this school prepares(which she actually took a couple of weeks to get to used in the beginning as well).
When she 1st saw me at the school door, she had quickly told me Mrs Ong's instruction that I'd have to write her name/class # on the Teacher Parent Communication Book(she must hv been afraid of forgetting the instruction, lolz.). On the way home, she recalled her 1st day excitedly and I felt so glad that her 'old feelings' are back. I really hope there would not be any more changes in this area for her liao...
Hubby suggested again that I should take the A6 instead, to send/fetch Renee to/from school as I don't travel alot and the mileage would not add on to the car as much as he might if he were the one to drive it to work, but I'm super afraid of its acceleration and also my fear of scratching it deter me from taking it on, so he's left with no choice but to take it, heeee. Haiz, the most I don't drive lor, what's the big deal - I could do with the weight loss from taking the train/walk anyway, :D.
