It's Friday, 17 April 2009...
This is the day when the 1st term semester brings to a close.
It is also the Parents/Teachers Day at beilou's kindie.
So no class for beilou today cos it's meant for us parents meeting up with the class teacher to review of what beilou has done in his class and how he progresses through out the 1st semester.
Reaches there on time, 8.30am...with red & teary eyes mainly caused by the stupid lenses and waited for my turn to meet with beilou's class teacher, Teacher Jacinta
When the moment comes, I was kinda excited or maybe worried of what Teacher Cinta might say about beilou. Here's what actually went on...

When the moment comes, I was kinda excited or maybe worried of what Teacher Cinta might say about beilou. Here's what actually went on...
TC: Hi, Mrs. Choong...
Me: Good morning, Teacher Cinta...
TC: Khai Yang...I have no problem with him-lah and I can say
he is one of my best student here. (showing me a book with
beilou's progresses...saw some A's & B's in there)
Me (with teary eyes): Really ah?...hahaha...I'm happy.
TC: Yes...he was not so good at the beginning cos he doesn't listen to anybody.
TC: He only wants to have things his way...ignoring my words...
so there was a time that I scolded him & made him sit aside.
TC: He cried & screamed "I don't want, I don't want"
Me: Isit ar? hahaha (eyes still teary)
TC: Yah...I told him if he cries then he won't be going home that day...
only then he stopped...the crying & screaming...and from that day on,
he listens to every word I say to him. He will sit down quietly & starts to learn.
He regconizes all the words I teach him using the flashcards.
Me: Aiyoh...terrible lah him...
TC: Yah...you see, I had to be hard on them, sometimes, but I don't hit them lah.
Me: It's okay...you should cos sometimes they can be so badly behaved.
It is good also cos at least he's afraid of you but he still wants to come to school.
I tried scaring him saying that I will tell Teacher Cinta this & that whenever
he's naughty or not doing his homework.
But he still want to come to school.
TC (patting my arms): That means he likes it here lah (giggles)
Me: Yes, yes.
So who does he mix around with the most?
TC: I try to mix them around with everybody. Before, the chinese kids sits
in one table...then they kept chit-chatting...in mandarin.
So, time from time I switches their sits so that everybody will have
a chance to meet with each other.
Me: That's good!
TC: I even scolded them once when I heard them speaking mandarin,
I said, "no mandarin in my class!"
Me: Hahaha...what I want to say now is that, I'm happy to have you
as his teacher. Cos I want him to speak & learn more in English.
TC: (proudly accepted my compliment & patted my arms, again)
But another things is...he is always going to the toilet...
I wonder what he's doing there cos he really goes quite a few times, everyday...
Maybe he doesn't want to sit in the class for too long or what but
one day I have to go check him out at the toilet.
Me: Really ar? I think maybe he's trying to adapt himself to
Me: Good morning, Teacher Cinta...

Me: Really ar? I think maybe he's trying to adapt himself to
his non-diaper days lah.
Actually he only started not wearing a diaper on the 1st day here.
Before, he was still on diaper. So maybe he's scared & worried that
he might wet himself. That's why, maybe.
TC: I see...Oklah then...we've got no other choices lah...
Me: (knodded) Ok, thank you, Teacher Cinta...see you.

But before I leave, Teacher Cinta asked,
"you are not feeling well ar? why you look sick?"
Arggh, I hated my eyes...
know why? Cos I kept wiping them with hankie...
I told her that my eyes got infections before that's why they are always so teary.
Ahhhh...
There he is...successfully strived or I should say 'sailed' rather than 'strived' (sounds scary)
all his way through 1st term of kindie this year...
am glad & proud...although it only just got started...
I brought home a whole load of his 'masterpieces' created by beilou during classes from Teacher Cinta
there were art & crafts, exercise books in English, BM, Mandarin & Maths.
He can even sings the tune of "The Blue Danube"
"fei po cai dan che...deng deng, deng deng"
hahaha...another funny version of mine...
and a few songs of Friends & Grandparents
which I make him sing every night before going to sleep...
"Good friends, true friends,
Together we play and share,
Good friends, true friends,
Together we love and care"
&
"I love you Grandma,
Grandma is close to my heart~
"I love your Grandpa,
Grandpa is close to my heart~"
Ahahaha! Hope I got this one right...
Wait til you hear him sings ;)
