First day of primary school for Ken..

All ready at home.. so eager..

look at my still half asleep face..

With EM at school foyer..

Ken's form teacher..

Can you spot Ken?

In the canteen..

After food, Ken proceed to gargle his mouth..

Am so proud of Ken today.. we parents get to see the kids go to the canteen to buy food and eat.. I saw Ken just walked to the canteen table, placed his water bottle.. and then, proceed to buy food.. the buddy with him is from P2.. i see the buddy followed behind Ken and didn't really help Ken.. but Ken proceed to buy food himself and eat.. And, he also drink from his water bottle while eating.. i've reminded him not to buy drinks from school.. ahh.. with his new uniform and all.. he's so smart and cool.. well, a real milestone for him.. a new beginning.. let's hope his high spirit will remain throughout his education life and future..

First day of school for Ken tomorrow..

Can't believe how fast time flies that tomorrow, Ken will attend Primary 1 in Singapore.. seems like yesterday that i was struggling with him as my first born baby.. and now, he's all ready for Primary 1.. oh, I'm so NOT ready.. how am I able to supervise his work? His school is morning session. He is encouraged to be in school by 7:15am for silent reading. Their assembly will be at 7:25am.. that means, we have to leave our house before 7:00am.. and Ken has to wake up at 6:00am.. Those of you who know me well enough will wonder.. how will I wake up?!?!.. i'm such a sleeping beauty.. only my mom can wake me up that early!..

To be able to wake up early also means that Ken needs to sleep by 9:00pm.. For the past months, I reached home earliest at 8pm.. looks like i have to adjust.. my work performance will definitely affected.. already, for ken's first day in school, I'm taking 3 days leave to accompany him, whereas, my colleague from my team with her child starting P1 as well, only taking HALF day leave.. go figure.. *sigh*.. this is a dilemma for working moms, i guess..

Below, 6 and a half years ago, we welcome Ken to the world.. arggh.. time really goes by in a blink of an eye..

Just before ken sleep, he said he wanted to draw a picture of us..

Also, sidetrack, we balik-ed kampung during december and i bot a pair of school shoes from Bata.. Look what they included.. a timetable!.. EM said he never seen before.. meaning, Bata shops in singapore don't give out these i guess.. ahh.. this make me miss school very much..

Ken's Kindergarten Graduation Photo

As it is raining with thunder and lightning, we try not to on any PC.. hence,

1. i snap the grad photo using my Samsung Omnia II..
2. send the photo via Bluetooth to EM's Nokia E51 Non Camera handphone.. cos his mobile phone cannot take picture..
3. upload to http://pages.google.com via his mobile surfing plan
4. access to the above using our notebook via Singtel Broadband on Mobile (BBOM)
5. download to our notebook
6. upload to photobucket.com (biow's account)
7. and post here.. :)

so, we managed to do everything wirelessly.. and why oh why i didn't plug a wire straight to my Samsung Omnia II in the first place??!?!.. my brain think too complicatedly, that's why.. or rather, i'm lazy to walk to the living room to pull out the wire.. as oppose to doing all the above within the comfort of the bedroom.. :D.. macam our house very big like that.. i'm just plain lazy to walk la.. can bo?!? also, quality of photo not so good.. some glare as the photo was inside a clear plastic bag which i'm even too lazy to remove.. :P

drawing smiley alphabets..

Ken wanted to give Yu Jia, his classmate, his drawing of Little Miss Trouble.. asked me to spell her name.. so I wrote on the paper on the Ikea easel.. the following day, i saw this.. really smiley madness these days for ken.. not that i'm complaining.. very cute, i find.. heh

Primary School Admission Day for Ken

So, we filled in some forms.. "Pupil Data Form", "Dental form", "GIRO form to deduct school fees", etc.. probably we don't write with pen much.. so kayu (stiff) our writing.. and i filled up two items wrongly.. "what language regularly spoken at home"..i blacked out 1 language only, ie English.. EM gave me an earful.. i doubt my kids speak Mandarin regularly leh.. REGULARLY u know.. heck.. i don't understand that word.. we probably speak 5% mandarin with ken.. consider regular meh?.. anyway, too bad, it's ink.. i can't erase.. heh

then we proceed to tryout unifom to buy.. we bot 3 sets of uniforms, 2 sets of exercise attires (polo t, shorts).. i wonder why i buy so many? i have a maid AND a dryer at home!!.. i used to own only 2 sets of unifom and 1 set of PE attire for my ENTIRE primary school.. it helps i din't grow much AND my mom folded inches of extra cloth in the hem of my skirt.. so, she let some go as i grew.. doesn't matter that my uniform have different tone around the hem.. what matters is to make my uniform last.. and here we are, "spoiling" my kid.. damages on uniform $71

nametags.. sold in 4 pieces or 8 pieces.. we used to have one the pin type.. now is iron on cloth!.. 8pcs for $8!!

exercise books and misc come next.. collected from the bookstore.. $43.90

textbooks i purchased from popular as it's cheaper!!.. $82.78

Total spent = $71 + $8 + $43.90 + $82.78 = $205.68.. and this not yet calculate the school shoes and school socks..

my parents used to drag until dec.. until cannot drag anymore before giving us money to buy books.. and here we are, more than 2mths before school starts and we are ready!!.. gosh..

And finally photo!! ken was so bored waiting for us.. see his bored face?.. and the sales aunty was so impatient that i did not attempt to take a better picture.. the lighting all wrong.. ah well.. and i wore over his clothes.. so the beige part was not part of the uniform la.. heh..
