Aisyah Goes to School ...For Real

Year 2009, or at least the first quarter of the year, proved to be a rather challenging time for Aisyah and her Mama and Abah. Their solid as a rock, easy as a pie routine for the last four whole years was gone like the wind with Aisyah's commencement of Kindergarten. Plus both her Abah and Mama switched jobs/work places too. It was a morning mad rush at home and at work.

Initially, Aisyah took to her new school like fish to water - for the first two weeks only that is. After that, the water dam broke down and she wailed and threw tantrums. Her Mama could not believe her daughter was a "school refusal problem". Then just as suddenly as the water dam broke, it got all fixed again. Yep. Suddenly. "Just like that." And Aisyah was cured. Now, she loves school and her friends and misses her friends when her Mama decided not to send her to school due to her, erm, whale-like condition.

This is Aisyah, all excited on her very first day of school.



After fetching her from school, Aisyah and her Mama would take the bus down back home. Every day, her Mama has to buy for her "something" to eat. This day, it was a bun.



Chinese New Year celebrations were cute. Her Mama bought for her a pink cheongsam and she posed with her friend.



Her Mama is pleased with Aisyah's school. It is small and intimate and all the children know one another well regardless of race or age. In fact, Aisyah's favourite is a little girl from the toddler class. Now, if only Aisyah will learn how to read quickly!
