SUMMARY: WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT

 Before

I am SIX!

This year, I had a small celebration at home as it's the school holidays. Daddy was on business trip during my lunar birthday, so Amah cooked mee suah for me, and Mommy took us kai kai. We had my favourite froggy meal  and kok kok beh ride on the eve, and then a shopping trip on the actual lunar birthday.

I had a little hair-do from Amah on my 6th lunar birthday

On my amoh birthday, Daddy and Mommy took half day leave to celebrate with us. Daddy gave me the privilege to decide on our lunch venue. I was toying between "Snoopy" and the Spaghetti place   (coz Juin Juin wanted to eat spaghetti), but when we passed this steamboat place, I made my choice right away. This is also the same place that we went to celebrate after our graduation concert.

Pressie time! This is from 3rd Chik Chik

 Start playing with the pressie :)

Can you believe it, I got another 2 Barbie dolls for my birthday presents this year, one from 2nd Chik Chik and another one from Aunty SL! On top of that, there's this nice Cinderella shoes from Aunty HP. Wow, this is certainly a princess birthday!

Party Time!

Every year towards the year end, we'll be having a class party in school. This year, we helped Mommy prepared the Horlicks Doggies Cookies . We even had a trial run a week in advance because Mommy had never made this before.

Mei  Mei helped Mommy with the mixing while I helped her with the doggies shaping. See what's our end results this time? It turned out quite well compared to the trial run :)

Ta-da!

Cute cute doggies

We also brought vitagens along to quench down these doggies. And we had a great time partying in school, enjoying all the food and goodies that our friends and teachers brought. Now 2 more days to school holidays!

Graduated!

I couldn't believe that my girl has graduated! Wow, how time flies. It would be SY's first graduation, and we're so grateful that her kindy years have been so memorable and enriching for her.

Rehearsal Day (Oct 22nd) - behind the backdrop

The photos and videos that we took on rehearsal day while they were performing on stage were not very clear. And on the actual day, we were not allowed to take any photos or videos. Here are the professional photos which we bought from the school.

On the actual day itself, which was 29th Oct, we're in for a happy surprise to find SY's name under the most honourable award category. 

SY receiving her trophy

The top achievers for this year, 2 were from K2, while the other boy was from K1

I kind of regretted that we didn't take any photos of her in her graduation robe, as these were the only ones that we have, besides those from the professional shots taken in July.

SJ got an award too! 

 SJ performing in The Little Teapot Dance, can you spot her at the front row?

 SJ with her partner...

Facing the front now :)

There were so cute, the little dancers. I wish I can upload the video too, but I'll have to find time to crop the videos first. The teachers have indeed done a great job training them up.

They were specially selected by the principal and trained in her office

And here are some photos of the Indian Dance. It was a superb performance, they girls could really undulate. The teacher did a very excellent job! We could hardly identify our girl at first, since all of them look like in their costumes!
