Judith's First Week in School

Judith started Primary 1 this year whereas Joe is in Primary 3. I tagged along on the first day of school to give the kids a head-start. I was as excited and nervous as Judith was. Joe, was his normal self 'buat tak tahu aje'.


Time : After 7am; before 7.15am






After the queue to class has ended, anxious parents like these and of course myself, stood outside the class to annoy the much annoyed class teacher.


Judith, happily found her desk by the window.


The kids sat for a moment to get themselves used to the surroundings while the parents 'PAY-UP'

After the forms are filled, the fees paid, the teacher taught her students how to greet her in return and they learned the NegaraKu immediately. Lol! Then, the kids proudly introduced themselves.

Judith said,

"Nama saya Judith Ann Yong Qi. Saya 6 tahun. Kamu boleh panggil saya Judy."

On the 2nd and 3rd day of school, it was Hubby's turn to bring the kids to school. He's there to make sure Judith knows where to sit during recess, where to go after recess and where to wait after school. The DOs' and DON'Ts' @ school.

That's Joe at the back grinning cheekily.

So far, the kids are taking school well. So was Javier happily going to school on Wednesday without screaming and kicking. My kids are growing up so fast and it scares me because they aren't my little babies anymore.

Judith's Sports Day

A day after the funeral, we had to picked ourselves up for Judith's Sports Day which was held at UNITEN Putrajaya. We were so worried that the funeral was going to be held on the same day as her sports day but lucky her! We woke up at 6.30am as we had to reached there by 8am. The event only started at 9.30am thanks to the late-comers. We were kinda in a daze and still exhausted both physically and mentally from the previous day. My sis came along too to support Judith. Dad even brought mom's video camera this time to record the moments!

Q-dees Sports Day are held annually and normally a few centres would participate together to cut on cost and as the saying goes.. 'the more the merrier'. It's great to share but it isn't great when we have to wait for them and them then them. 5 centres competed this year and I hate to say it but I dislike the way the board of Q-dees managed it. Year after after where kids are supposed to have fun, they have to fight for the silly Number 1 title. Kids are so young, they should be having fun instead of having the pressure to win. I spoke to one of Judith's teachers and she also agreed that it shouldn't be an event of competition but somehow an experience and engaging in fun-time. Well, thank God this would be the last sports day I'll attend unless they stick to fun rules. The way I look at it, the teachers; the adults are much more eager to win than the kids.

On the way...................

Followed by Q-dees and FlipTech songs

Sri Raam was given the big job to recite the Q-dees' Sports Day oath

Joe tagged along too as long there's drinks and food to accompany him

When the waiting has taken its toll

The POM-POM dance...

Judith is holding the hoop with the words "WE"

Teachers preparing the sports' events

Evil woman... blocking our view. So inconsiderate we almost had a gurl fight

Javier fell asleep while waiting... the irony of waiting must have gotten him

Judith in action!!!!

After the sweat, we brought the kids to level up at Sushi King, Leisure Mall.

Judith cam-whoring with the mobile cam.. at least she does it better than ME!

THE END
we went home and slept till 6pm.. or at least only both hubby and I slept.. cuz the kids took the opportunity to sleep in the car during the journey home.

Joe's Big Day

Today, we attended "Hari Anugerah Cemerlang" at Joe's school. He's receiving an award for being No. 2 in class for the previous year. Why are kids getting last year's recognition? I don't know why but I guess because due to the school's last minute management.

the itinery:

spot Joe's name:

Anyway, Joe was truly excited. Can't wait for his big day. Can't wait to be called up to the stage to receive his award and certificate.

segak betul.....

A lot of parents came and the hall was pretty congested. There were not enough chairs but thankfully we arrived a wee bit earlier and also it was only 2 of us. Some came with carload!

words to remind all of us:

So... the ceremony started with the headmistress' speech, Pn. Saminyah which was okay as her 'anak-anak' (that's what she calls SKTS students) was very diciplined; listening to every word she said.

Then... came the head of PIBG. Whoa the fish market audio started and suddenly kids were chatting away. Older ones were playing UNO at the back and parents were yapping away. WOW!

After the boring speech which mostly contained about him and what he does, students put on a malay dance.

Then, the prize giving ceremony started. Receivers were asked to line up by the pillars. It started from children with special needs to Year 1, etc.

Oooo.. below is one of Joe's girlfriend, Yong Sum Ee:

5 minutes later, it was Joe's turn to brighten up the stage; which he DID!
(pssst~ he actually tripped at the stairs before going up the stage; luckily, he managed to gain his composure and zoomed up the stage to the amazement of the crowd.. it happened so fast that no one had the chance to 'OH' about it)

Lastly, a closed up picture of Joe with his award and certificate on his big day!


(p/s: We brought the camera but forgot bout its life but Dad saved the morning. He F4-ed and delivered the battery to us. If weren't for your help, we won't have these pictures. Thanks!)
