After School Snippets
Possibly the happiest time of my days are the daily moments that I see my little one after school descend the big school bus. She is always so happy and excited and I can tell that she’s had a fabulous day at school. Always!!! The most magical part for me is when she starts blabbering about her day as I find it so amusing, fascinating and super hilarious.
Today’s story was about drinking water. She asked me, “Mama, do you know how I can finish my water everyday? We always have a water race at break time. I will ask them to race and we will all finish our water and I am always first!”
She is always very diligent with messages from the teachers and she would inform me what’s in her Homework Journal if there is a letter for me or if I have to pay for something. And then she goes, “Thank God Maths was my first lesson today because I don’t like Miss C. She is very strict and I just want to get Maths out of the way first thing in the morning.”
Then she asked me for the hundredth time when Uncle Ben was coming to KL. Was it 3 days or was it 4 days time? And when was I going to Japan? Was it 3 days or was it 4 days? And who was going to cook for them whilst I was away? Who was going to shower her? Bloody hell, she is old enough to shower herself! She then asked if their dog was coming…..because that was what she was really looking forward to. Hahahahaha.
She proceeded to tell me that she and her friends discussed their holidays today and that she had told everyone that I was off to Japan this week. Oh my. Did they need to know? I then asked if she had told them that she was going Sydney and Japan too? Negative but another friend had a Dad who was traveling to Singapore. These kids, they are so cute. My days just brighten up immensely listening to T2’s stories and her ideas and opinions on life and people.
After coming home, she wanted to make some bread so I allowed her to knead some dough AFTER she had washed her hands thoroughly. She refused to have her shower first and I was too tired to argue so went along to do my work instead whilst she beat the dough to death.
15 minutes later though, she had brought me a dough heart. It was a much nicer heart than shown in the picture below but that just melted my heart because she made the heart so perfectly and brought it to me to say that it was made for me because she loved me and then it sort of went out of shape before I could snap a picture!
After her shower, we went to pick T1 up. Unfortunately, they both dismiss at different times this year – a whole 2 hours apart. I find it so tiring driving out then back and then out again and then back again. I really wish I just had a driver but it is hard finding one who is willing to just do the school runs.
During our drive back, T2 told me that one of her friends had a very small car just like Kong-Kong and it had a boot in the front instead of the back. Her friend sits at the back seat and there is only one door, which is when T1 butted in to say that it was a Porsche. Hang on? Kong-Kong doesn’t have a Porsche??? “Yeah Mom, Kong-Kong has a Volkswagen which also has a boot in the front and an engine at the back. So she thinks it’s cool just like Kong-Kong’s car but it is actually a Porsche,” T1 explains.
Gosh. My girl knows what a Porsche is. What the hell.
Meeting T1 after school is my next happy time as I listen to another level of stories from a more mature young kid. Secondary student yo!!! T1 will talk about her subjects and her teachers and what happened at school that was interesting. She is such a sensible girl. When we got home, T1 got her turn to knead the bread and into the oven it went.
An English dinner it was last evening.
