Starting at a new school

After scounting around many schools in the East and much much deliberation, Mummy decided to enrol me in a church kindy. Her reasons being:

1) She wants Jesus to take centerstage in my life.

2) This is a Chinese school, where 80% of the curriculum is done in Mandarin. She believes this will be beneficial to me as we hardly speak Mandarin at home.

3) She was actually considering putting me in Kara's school, but after much thinking, she decided against it because she was afraid that i would "corrupt" Kara with my mischievous ways and cause her to lose focus in her work.

4) The fees here are way way cheaper than a Montessori school, like the one that ive been attending. If i were to study at this new school, Mummy will be able to use the excess money to sign me up for some nifty new enrichment classes. (My Kungfu class, remember ok Mummy?)

5) The school has a 40 year old history and is a very well established kindergarten. Mummy has met the teachers and principals and declared that they are v ery caring and will do their best for me. The classrooms are spacious, the surroundings clean and they have a huge playground and even PE lessons. (Sports is very important in our family)

6) And lastly, a very frivolous reason. Mummy thinks the uniform is really nice and i look very cute in it!

That's me in my smart new uniform

Dont you agree i look very cute?

okie one last mouthful of my breakfast before im off!

Mummy was very impressed with me cos i hardly cried even though i was in new surroundings. I gamely participated in everything, oblivious that she was hiding outside and peeking at me.


Listening to Ma Lao Shi's instructions

Singing and dancing

All in all, Mummy is very glad she has decided on this school and I am very happy here. All thanks be to God for steering her in this right direction!
