The childcare centre is located right in Momi’s office building. That means Momi, Dadi and I could go out together in the morning and go home together again in the evening.
Momi decided to enroll me since I am getting quite a handful at home and Nai Nai needs a break after taking care of me for almost 2 years. It would be a great opportunity for me to make friends in school, learn to socialize and share things and to pick up some knowledge (esp language wise as I am still baby-talking… paiseh… paiseh…)
Dadi, Momi and Nai Nai accompanied me to check out the centre last Friday morning. It was cold and wet but it did not dampen my spirits and excitement. In fact, Momi reminded me about the orientation visit on Thur night before I slept and I was so excited that I woke up as early as 4am plus before Momi coaxed me back to bed again. Haha!!! When I next woke up at 8am, I opened my eyes, grinned at Momi and said “RT!!! Xue Xiao!!!” (meaning “MRT and School!!!”). Yah!!! I was that excited.
When we reached the school, Auntie Susan showed us the facilities around. I love my classroom with those short short tables and chairs for little kids like me. I not shy one because I made myself at home and started helping myself to the things in the room. I protested when the adults told me to go out of the classroom to check out the play area. Ultimately, Dadi gotta pluck me off the ground and wrestle with me to get me to the play area.
The play area was paradise!!! Lots of toys, balls, slides and Chinese New Year ornaments hanging down from the ceiling!!! Yeah!!! The red lion dancing overhead certainly caught my eyes. Soon, I was mingling with all the Gor-Gors and 1 Jie-Jie to play in the ball pool and masak masak in the kitchenette.
Towards the end of the ½ hour free play session, I also chipped in to help the Gor-Gors and Jie-Jie clear up the place and put away the toys when the teachers told us time to clear up. As we need to go back to the classroom quietly and not disturb the other classes, the teachers told us to crawl on our hands and knees and be as quiet as a mouse!!! So funny!!! I quickly went down on my hands and knees and started crawling with the other kids cos I wanted to join them in class. But… before I could even get passed the gate, Dadi plucked me up again and declared that orientation visit had come to an end!!! Shots!!! What a disappointment!!!
Anyway, Dadi and Nai Nai had no objections to my enrolment and they did not find any fault with the centre. Thus, Momi proceeded to enroll me after the orientation tour!!! Yeah!!! I would be starting on 1 Feb 2007 with 2 other new kids in the 2005 toddlers’ class. I heard one of the kid is a local and the other is a Japanese!!! On top of that, Nicolas Gor-Gor and Lucas Gor-Gor are also in the 2004 Toddlers Class and we can play with each other everyday!!! Yipee!!!
U folks stayed tuned for my adventures in school, ok? Cheerios!!!!
U folks can tell from my smiley face that I am very pleased with my new school lah.
