Ian got an award!!!

Some wks ago we received this letter for Ian to attend an award giving ceremony and were pretty surprised as we thot the award giving was already over and we never attended 1 by our GRC and Ian din like going such shaking hands ceremony hahaha and was very reluctant to go since it was a wkday nite (its past their usual zz time) but mama bugged him to go since it was a rare chance. Saw almost the whole neighbourhood there and not joking coz it was all sorts of school uniforms there as they were asked to wear sch uniform there and there we saw a number of Ian's kindy friends. We were seated at tables with numbers so we could go up with the flow to take pic with our MP - Indranee and had crafts for kids and food so we could eat at the allocated tables. But its past our dinner time and couldn't wait to take pic and go home haha saw our immediate neighbor too and like us abit puzzled how they got into this ceremony too tho Indranee did say its good grades hhmm and telling the kids to have good grades with skills too (hinting to parents too huh)

 Had photo booths ard to take pic and print on the spot and liked the tiong bahru background

 And here is a pic with Indranee after a handshake and she was telling Joann next time ur turn hhaa a lot of siblings went together to collect the awards too

 Here we are seated in front of the stage and made ian take a pic with his new cert tho very unwilling again hhaha

 Here is Ian's kindy friend, Javier and coincidentally we were seated at the same table and saw a few of his current classmates too

This is the original shot the guy took with our hp camera and with photo shop they added the background...the boy went home richer than before hhahaa tho its only popular voucher but he is grinning ear to ear already...good work, son and continue to work hard coz it was totally unexpected that he got this Education Merit Award

Going home on his own after school

Just a random pic of the boy who has been going home on his own only when he stays back in school...1st started when he had his SA oral exam and it is hard to tell his oral timing and he used to use public phone to call mama to pick him but realized it takes time for mama to walk and he then told mama he is ready to walk home for such days and it has been good coz told him to take a safer and longer way and to look out for traffic. So he has been walking home on days he stays back for math Olympiad, creative writing, his recent Nafa test and guess more to come with his stay backs and its a bit grown up feeling as he could walk home and chat with his friend till tb plaza and its a short way home and he feels happy abt it and was teasing him next yr he could walk home with mei2 since we do spot a lot of siblings walking home together but just wonder with mei2 whether they will wander off for some ice cream breaks as the mei2 is the sweet tooth gal haha
