7th August ~ Little Tree House @ Hougang's NDP celebration

This year will be Ryan's last NDP celebration in LTH while it's Reanne's first!

Both kids contributed mini fruit tarts to the school pot luck and parents were invited to join in the celebration.

Reached the school @ 945am and waited for awhile before the school open its door to the parents. When I step in, the kids were excited and of course, some of the younger ones are crying for their parents when they set their eyes at them.

Reanne was not exceptional.. haha.. She saw me, I waved back and went to the back and seated on the floor with Ryan and his friends. This girl saw me and I smiled at her and without me knowing she walk to the back and join me sitting together with me, her bro and his friends! Ok, call her sticky glue!

The programme started by singing some songs for Singapore... The kids holding their art work swaying to the rhythem and had games, story telling. The younger ones are getting cranky and when the programme wrap up with singing the national anthem and pledge.. It's FOOD time. The toddlers had their priority first followed by the older kids.

Ryan and his friends join me and Reanne in eating together. Nice food but didn't get to enjoy much.. hahhaa..

Time to part.. the toddlers are screaming their lungs out for their parents.. same goes to Reanne.. and I was the last to leave cos Reanne was so clingly...

Managed to con her off when she goes for her big business... and the holiday starts today!!!!

6th August 2013 With Lucky Number 111

It's the result day for P1 2014 Phase 2C. I have been keeping track of the updates of the P1 registration faithfully via MOE website and the Kiasu Parents Forum too. Call me Kiasu... who doesn't get the anxiety stress hoping their kids will get into the primary school?

The ballot starts @ 9am. After sending the kids to the childcare, both of us drove back to HPS. Parked the car at the nearby multi storey carpark and walk there.

Upon the reaching, the principal of the school started her speech and presenting each number on the projector with reading out the names.

Hougang Primary School: Phase 2C vacancies: 70
No of Applicants residing within 1km: 114 (2 sets are twins)

Both HC and I were listening carefully for the numbers that was called out. Our numbers were eventually called out. We were the last 15 to be called out.. and yes we were officially in. To be very honest, I wasn't very sure when Ryan's name was called as the dumb father has interrupted me by kicking my legs! Missed that moments of surprise! hahahha.. After everything, we went to the white board and verified it one more time and managed to speak to both the principal and vice principal! Looking forward to receive the letter from the school and the P1 orientation.

My baby boy is going to P1 soon! Hope he will be able to cross all the hurdles and obstacles and excel in his studies!

Ryan's P1 Journery Starts on 30 July

Time flies and Ryan will enter P1 in year 2014.

30th July 2013

Last Tue was the first day of the registration for Phase 2C. Both HC and I went down to the school at 10am. The Q flow was good.. not very crowded but I supposed most of the parents were pretty kiasu cos my Q number was already 108. Due to the MOE's computer congestion, the staff told me and a couple of parents to come back in the afternoon for the registration. (Luckily I took the whole day off).

HC sent me home after that and I did some housework then proceed on to Hougang Mall to drop cheque and have my lunch. In fact wanted to eat Aijisen Ramen but didn't know it had closed it doors and make way for Starbucks.

Took a bus back to home and drop some bags and decided to walk to Hougang Primary School. The walk from home to school was about 8 mins according to my pace. Reached school at 215pm and a lot of parents are already there waiting plus those new parents waiting for registration. Settled everything within half an hour before I left the school and went home for a short nap and a haircut later before picking up the kids from the childcare centre.
