Orientation for didi and me.

What a busy last week of the year. We had to go for orientation for 2 days as didi donned on his brand new sparkling uniform for Pri 1 while in the afternoon, we were away from our home entertaining guests till 11+ at nights for 2 consecutive days. It was truly enjoyable and exhaustive.

Orientation in the mornings turned out to be a long 3 hours lectures by different heads of dept in the school for the first day, and filling out form after form, waiting, passing the bucks, and more waiting then off we go on the second day. It's rather funny to make some observations around too. Obviously some are newbies while some are already used to the drill. Nevertheless, I too pop my head in whichever discussions there were to see if there's anything I do not know of. Guess it's just the same old thing - food catering for the kids, transportation for them...

I feel happy to see 2 kids from didi's kindy there too. One of them recognized me immediately, but she's in another class. The other one is also in the same class with didi. I sure hope they can be able to look out for one another. Meanwhile, I made friends and exchange numbers with the boy's parents, and talk to one or two among the parents waiting outside the classroom.

The class teacher seems to be rather a fierce teacher, already admonishing didi on the first day when we were there to pick him up. Didi was wildly charging around like a wild bull with another "member" and his shirt was hanging out loosely, just like he always love. Oh no.. I shook my head and just walked away ... breathe in, breathe out..

So when it reached our turn as we all queued up to take our offsprings away, the teacher made didi stand in front of her. She told him to tuck in his shirt nicely and she won't let him go home if it's not done to her satisfaction. Didi looked kinda scared of her and I wonder if he was going to cry! But he hang on there, while she continued telling him that he's not allowed to run around while she was busy handling the parents yadda yadda yadda...

Boy! It sure didn't look good... orientation day only leh.. not even the first day of school yet! Can he behave in the days to come? Oh please, I praying harder now..

Meanwhile, on the second day, he turned out to be a sweet little lamb, sitting quietly on his table, and at least, I didn't hear of any complaints from the teacher. Still want to ask meh? lalalum sign out and take him home lor... happy that everything kaotim by 10+.

We are going to have a bbq at CK's home to welcome the new year together. The kids sure gonna love seeing each other again and have some fun. I think I will too. Happy New year lor.
