My parents have noticed that I'm always attracted to musical instruments. At school, we get about 10 mins of play time before lesson starts and there will be all sorts of toys in the classroom but I will always head for the musical instruments section first so last week, we went piano shopping. But we didn't see anything that we liked and now Emak is considering renting a piano for me. Yes, there is such a thing as a piano rental service. You rent a piano from them for 6 months and after 6 months, you decide if you want to buy it or return it. If you buy it from them, they will deduct the rental costs that you had paid from the final cost of the piano but if you decide to return it to them for good, you don't get a single cent back. Sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? Especially if you're not sure how long your child will remain interested in that particular musical instrument.



I also enjoy playing with paint and getting my clothes messy and dirty.

And I love fishing for things from the treasure box. The treasure box is something that Lydia takes out in the middle of a lesson and everything in the box starts with the letter of the day. Each time the box is out, everyone will be so curious but this week, I was frustrated I didn't get a thing and guess what I did? Yeah, I CRIED!

Emak was a Chinese drama serial addict and a few years ago, she watched this drama serial where there was a character who was really kiasu. Even before her child was born, that character started shopping for a kindergarten for the child and immediately after the child was born, she registered the child in a school! Emak used to laugh about it and couldn't believe how kiasu some people could get.

BUT guess what just happened? The same person who thought that drama character was super kiasu has just registered her child at two schools 2 years before she is due for kindergarten! Hahaha!

Well, can't help it. Both schools have waiting lists with School A having a REALLY long waiting list. When my parents called School A for an application form, they were told that they should have applied last year! School C still has a few vacancies for classes starting in 2 years (see, my parents are NOT the only kiasu ones) so we quickly went to pay the fees to "chope" a place for me. Hahaha! Never in their whole lives did my parents think they would have to succumb to this.

We were brought around School C by the Principal earlier today and Ayah really likes the school. Unlike School A, where almost everyone comes from a particular country down under , School C has students from many nationalities. We were told that the school celebrates United Nations Day every year so that the students can learn more about each other's customs, traditions, language etc. That sounds really cool.

The best part about both schools is their curriculum. It's learning through play, play and more play. Isn't that what all kids do best?

Before we left the school Emak bought me a set of the school uniform, plus the hat, for me to wear at home. She thinks the skorts is cute. Looks like a skirt from the front and shorts from the back.
