P1 Picnic

The long awaited P1 Picnic is finally here. All, or most of the parents, have been very excited about this P1 picnic. The list of items that parents will be bringing for this picnic has been growing day by day. I wonder if we can really finish all the food that we will be getting at the picnic.

I went for my fencing class as usual and then followed by my Learning Point. When Gor Gor and I were done with our class, Daddy fetched us back to MGS. Mommy was kinda late as there was supposed to be a briefing at 2.30pm and then followed by the picnic at 4pm. Anyway, we got there at around 3.30pm and Mommy headed for the briefing while I was ushered to play games with the rest of the girls. Daddy then sent Gor Gor for his NAFA class at 4pm.

It was a rather hot day so I didn't enjoy myself playing games and singing songs out in the open. As expected, there was so much food that we didn't even bring out the chocolate which Mommy bought at Giant before picking us up from class earlier. 

The whole event ended around 6pm and Daddy came back to get us before we went back to prepare dinner. 

K2 Concert

The day is finally here. One of the main reasons why I am placed in Pat's Schoolhouse. And it is because of this K2 concert which is so amazing that some parents, mine included, will try so hard to put their children in this child care. 

Unlike Gor Gor's concert which was held in Jubilee Hall at Raffles Hotel, our K2 concert is unfortunately held at ACJC auditorium because Jubilee Hall is currently under renovation. It is not as grand as Jubilee Hall and the holding area was also very small. As usual, they place the photos outside the auditorium so that parents can place their orders. Daddy was perspiring so much cos he had a jacket on and he decided he will order during intermission. 

We started with the chinese performance in which i played a palace maid. All i did was to stand around in the background holding some banner. At one point, the five of us palace maids started dancing with our fans. It was beautiful I think.

The english performance was the highlight and we played out Charlie and Chocolate Factory. I played the main role of Mr Wonka and Mummy and Daddy said i nailed it. I looked so comfortable on stage and was filled with confidence as I read out my lines so clearly and my actions were so precise. Daddy and Mummy were beaming with pride as they looked at me from where they were seated.

After the performance, we decided to head to the roti prata store at Evans Road where we had Milo Dinosaur and roti prata. It was a fulfilling night as all the preparation for the concert paid off. 

Final Rehearsal

We prepare for the Year End Concert with the final rehearsal today at ACJC Auditorium. We were all very excited and nervous at the same time. Another 3 days and it will be the performance. How exciting!!

I am the Palace Maid for the chinese performance and Willie Wonker for the english performance. Will have more pictures after this Friday night! Stay tuned!

Dental Checkup

We found out that there is a more affordable option for our dental checkups and that is with the Polyclinics! Mummy made appointments for both Gor Gor and me to see the dentist to clean and also to fill any cavities. Daddy dropped us all off at the Toa Payoh Polyclinic at Lorong 8 today before heading to work. 

Turned out it wasn't that bad an experience and I even got to wear a pair of Mickey Mouse glasses to protect my eyes during the clean up. Plus I got to stand next to Gor Gor to see how his set of teeth were cleaned and his cavities filled up. Mummy was telling Daddy that maybe she and Daddy should also go there for their annual dental checkup and save some money. 

K2 Confidence Camp

This is a special day for us at Pat's Schoolhouse as we prepared for our K2 Confidence Camp. This is the camp I have been looking forward to as it will be my first time away from home with non family members. Staying over at Ah Mah's or Nai Nai's house is not considered.

We were suppose to report to school at 2.30pm today. As Mummy and Daddy has to be at work, we had no choice but to activate Aunty Jessica and she got to our place at 8am. She was then suppose to bring me to school at 2.30pm. I was lamenting that since Daddy has shifted and his office is now nearer home, why can't he come get me and send me to school. In the end, Daddy really did come back for me, I think not because his office is near, but rather because he wanted to send me and make sure I will be ok. 

We had a terrific time in school and we even had a real camp fire at the playground. We sang songs and played games and I had a wonderful time. 

The next day, Mummy and Daddy came to get me at 9.30am and I was sad to leave. I had lots of fun though and wish I could do this again.

To Master, To Grow, To Serve

Yes! MGS here I come!

Balloting under Phase 2B <1km was scheduled for today. 32 applicants vying for 31 spaces in MGS. We got to MGS this morning around 9.15am for the balloting which starts at 9.30am. The atmosphere was very tensed as the parents sat very seriously in the classroom, waiting for the balloting to start. Instructions and the whole process was read out carefully at 9.30am sharp in case there are any disputes later. 

We were assigned the number 8 which under normal circumstances will be a good sign. However, we had prayed very hard for this and was not gonna rely on some lucky number to get us to MGS. We were nonetheless happy that the number was on our side. 

We were fortunate that our number was called halfway through the process and a heavy sigh of relief was felt between Mummy and Daddy. Daddy later said that he somehow felt that his job is now complete as our moves had all been worth it. We felt bad for that one family who was not successful in getting their daughter into MGS. Not sure if they are gonna try under Phase 2C but we reckon it won't be a walk in the park under Phase 2C either. 

We are all thankful that our space in MGS is now secured. Even Nai Nai couldn't sleep last night as she was worried I might not get a space here and about what we would have to do next. I am looking forward to life in MGS as I have many friends there already, even WeiEn is there and she will probably show me around. 

Racial Harmony Day

We celebrated Racial Harmony Day today in school. The children were encouraged to wear a different costume to school to celebrate the different race within our school. I don on a baju kurung which was given to me by Aunty Sharon which belonged to Jie Jie Sophy. A baju kurung is a traditional Malay costume which loosely translate as "enclosed dress". 

Besides putting on a different traditional costume, we were also asked to bring something for our snacks and I was tasked with bringing soya bean drink which Daddy happened to know how to make. He spent about an hour last night making the drink which was very delicious. We finished it all in class.
