FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL

Sasha and Lok Lok, getting ready for school this morning..

Today marks the first day of school for Malaysian children. My godson, Adrian, had his orientation one day earlier yesterday. Mom had been fussing over the two monsters, Sasha and Lok Lok to get ready. My boss, Sugar, was on leave today to take her son, Sam to school.

Everyone will definitely remember their first day in school. Over lunch at home yesterday, my family and I had a hilarious time reminiscing our first day in school.

Mother said, I was the bravest one. When she took me to kindergarten on the first day, I told her to go home after I had settled in class, saying I would be alright. (Even if I was placed in a class where everyone was older than me by a year, due to late registration – I didn’t know that I was the youngest in class!).

My cry baby sister, cried the entire week. My brother, having my nomadic cousin brother with him, enjoyed his first day in school. While waiting for my mother to fetch them from school, he played football with his new found friends. My nomadic cousin brother, being the meeker one, walked about anxiously on the pathway and cried because mom was late.

Well, good luck to pre-schoolers. Today is the first day where ¼ of their life be succumbed to years of education since the colonial days. That is life sentence to me.

Sasha and Lok Lok did surprisingly well in school. My sister, who curi curi took time off work to see them in the nursery, was shocked to see that both of them were actually well behaved… probably not for long..

Sasha needs to get rid of the pacifier. Sigh. That’s the susah part.
