My first day of school

Orientation days for me and my mom were over. Yesterday was my first real day at school, from 8:30AM to 12:30PM. Here are the photos Mommie managed to take of me (some I had to remind her to take, mind you! ;-D).

Mommie said she promised AbbuMamma to take my photo in full uniform. She thought she wouldn't have the chance later, so she tried to capture one in the lift when we were heading to the car that morning. It was quite dark still, not really a good photo. I, on the other hand, thought she wanted to take my photo pressing the lift button! So I posed it that way. Hehehe... :-D

I reminded Mommie to take my photo before entering the car that morning. As you can see, it was still quite dark outside. Sorry about the milk bottle, I refused to let it go even after Mommie asked for it from me. That's my armed rifle you know ;-) Hehehe... But not to worr, Mommie made sure that I didn't bring it to school. I left my bottle at the nursery, and I drank a bottle of milk before going to school to ensure that my tummy would be a bit filled before snack time at 10AM plus.

Mommie took a day off, and after she dropped me at school, she's kind of "lost", not knowing what to do. So she hanged out at the nearest McDonald's for a breakfast, and tried hard to concentrate on reading her final year students' thesis draft. Poor, Mommie... she couldn't concentrate much and ended up marking just a bit and went off to home to grab some 1 hour nap. I was very cranky the midnight before that Mommie ended up making me sleep on her to calm me down. Hhmm...

The bell rang at 12:30PM, and Mommie was armed with her phone camera at the door. I didn't notice that Mommie already spied on me through the classroom window, seeing me packing my bag ready to leave. When I saw her at the door, I was kind of shy... that's why I was biting my nail there in the picture. In front of me (in the picture) is my classmate, I think his name is Ashraf...

Mommie kept on telling me on how to properly pull my new trolleybag, but I wanted to drag it this way! So, don't tell me what to do, OK? :-p Mommie said it's noisy to drag the bag that way on the road, and I replied, "Tak bising pun! Haaa..."

We had to dine outside because the stove gas suddenly gave way when Mommie was cooking. So we had a simple dinner near our house, when suddenly Mommie felt like driving around. Hhmm... She brought me around to see the big elephants at Sunway Pyramid, and to our surprise, the whole place was lit up with lights and colours of fish, flamingo, and all the beautiful decorations, ready for Chinese New Year! Wow wee!!

My teacher told Mommie these about me:
"She's very independent. Only when her classmates started crying, she panicked a bit, and started asking where's Mommie. After we told her that Mommie is at work in office, she's OK. She never cries. She's doing very well, but she doesn't make any sound. She doesn't speak out at all, and that will take some time. She eats very slowly, and it's quite common for a 4-year-old here."

End of today's story from my side. Hear from me again!

First Day at Kiddie

Today is Fasha's first official day at Kiddie. Mommie had to be there too. It was only for 2 hours, from 8:30AM to 10:30AM.

Here are some photos from her first day. She's very shy and clingy, and she 'escaped' from her classroom and teachers in search of her Mommie about 5 to 7 times. Sigh!

Last-minute shopping for Fasha's Iqra' books, on Sunday evening, after food-hunting at Taman Tun pasar malam. Schedule for her Iqra' (Qur'an reading for beginners) is from Monday to Thursday, after lunch at her current nursery. Good thing Mommie remembered there's a book shop in Taman Tun Dr Ismail where we can get all the text books and Islamic books!
Fasha could play well with the new matching puzzle game. She's the second pupil to arrive, and was led stratight to the Pre 1 classroom at the back. Notice the bring light at the back? That's where the windows are, for parents to peek in to monitor their kids in the room. No matter how much I told her that I would be there, and how much I've waved from the window, she couldn't see me. Instead she escaped the room and came out looking for me, saying, "Dah habis main!" Surprise, surprise... "What? Dah habis? Cannot be! You were just there for less than 10 minutes!" Huu huu...

One toy is not enough, the teacher brought out a basket full of mixed puzzles for the boys, and she chose to join that because it's a different kind of toy. Talk about being bored... Hhmm...

Tour time after the introduction session and we arrived at the library and reading area on the upper floor. The principal herself read a fairy tale story to the pupils. Fasha was supposed to sit on the carpet alongwith her classmates, but she dragged me to sit down with her and she sat on my lap! Huh! The next thing I knew, she said, "Nak cucu!" and behaved like she wanted to have her nap there and then! Aiyyooo...!!
Innocently looked back at the camera knowing Mommie was ready to capture the photo during the book-reading session.
Next for the tour - the outdoor... Fasha was quite eager to see the swimming pool and the playground (who doesn't, duh). Everybody (except parents, of course) got a chance to go on the slide for one or two rounds before breakfast. Oh, about breakfast... she could manage to eat on her own without me in the same room, but the moment she 'escaped' and looked for me, I noticed that she's the only one messy among all - the Milo stain was all over her new uniform! Aaarrrrggghhhh!! Don't tell me I have to do hand-wash every day from now...?? Oh dear!! (Sorry, just an over-acting drama in my head. Hehe...)

After breakfast, it's colouring time. She did ask for colouring since the last 1 hour, and now she got it. She coloured the monkey in pink, the grass in green, the fence in purple, the stool in brown and the paint in blue... and some boxes at the bottom of the page in light green. Oh, she did extra job of drawing 2 'hantu's with many eyes (looked more like fat worm with many eyes instead of millipede or ghost) at the back of the page.
So far so good. See how it goes on Thursday and Friday, when the real classes start.
Already exhausted now... sigh!
