Graduating terrors!

Young terrors!!!!!

The previous Sunday, my family and I attended our beloved nephew's graduation day celebrations. Though it had been awfully tight lately due to work constraints and bible studies and so on, but we wouldn't want to miss our nephew's graduation no matter what! Rain, shine, thunderstorm, hail stones or whatever, they are not going to stop us from seeing our nephew graduate from his tadika-lar....

However, when we are told that they would performing during the graduation ceremony of Tadika Oasis Harmoni, we wouldn't miss it for the world. Though we could not imagine that he has all grown up, we knew that this day would come and he would be looking out for new challenges ahead next year.

Yup! Darlie tootpaste does the trick...always!

As we only got in on Saturday night, we could only play with Ryan & Ashley for a while before they were off to bed as they had a full day ahead the following morning. I was exhausted as earlier in the day, I had sent SLing to her professional course in Masjid Tanah, studied for bible class exams, took the exams before fleeing down to meet up the two young buddies of mine. Despite the tiredness and all that, it was good to see these two tiny tots! Always a delight with their rich, quick and humorous quip, they can be quite pleasurable to play with. Always are heartwarmers and smile easy children, you can only enjoy yourself with them and allow them to have a good time with you.

The intro performance

Early Sunday, morning, they were awake early and soon, they were waking us up to get ready for their concert. As usual, we "whacked' our breakfast nicely at One Top Curry House in Seremban town - a combo of rawa thosai, roti canai, capati and putu mayam. We were quite stuffed by the time we reached the graduation hall. Then it was the performances by the 3 year olds, 4 year olds, 5 year olds and 6 year olds! What an episode of fun. I've never had so much to laugh and to marvel at especially these young ones! They were so cute and adorable! As I sat at my chair, taking pictures, laughing and enjoying myself, I realised how nervous their parents were and how excited they were watching their children's performances. yup, these children were awfully cute and adorable and it is no wonder the support they get  were truly tremendous. They were.........innocent, delightful and direct.They say the darnest thing ever and they don't give a two hoots of what they say! So innocent and so true indeed.

Ashley with her percussion friends

There was one performance whereby one of the bee boys cried from the opening number right up to the end number of their performances and it was really funny indeed. I laughed my head off looking at that poor staged-fright boy but who was I kidding, the poor boy was just 3 years old-lar.....So, I laughed less harder but laughed anyway! Poor parents must be embarrassed by it all but to me, it took real courage to come out to the stage and do his performance eventhough it was crying only , though!

As I looked back at the performances of my nephew and niece, I must say, they are like "kayu" lar but at least, they tried their best to do their dances, expressive singing and tried their hands at musical instruments plus traditional dances. I think, the most important of all, they themselves enjoyed their performances. I just pitied their teachers who could have worked so hard and tirelessly to make this graduation day performances to be as good as they can be. It's all good though.

Proud , proud day indeed!

Then it was the beaming and stage limelight time - Presentation of the graduating scroll. Wah! Such a grandeur experience-lar.....You could see the beaming and pridefully happy parents seeing their children receiving the graduating scroll from the tadika Principal. What I liked was that they asked each child to say something to their parents and I guess, I must say that Ryan outshone the rest of his graduating class members with his own rendition of thanks to Jade & Wei & grandma that day! Miraculously, grandma seemed to grow a few inches taller that day, I think! I could have sworn that she did indeed grew a bit taller that day!

To me, OMG! Ryan had graduated from his class of tiny terrors! He's a big boy now! Anyway, application forms for his hand of marriage in late years of his life will be distributed in 2014 with a non-returnable processing fee of RM 1,888.88 ( feeling lucky- mah! ) from his Ah John and Ku Mah! BTW, first come , first serve basis only! No cutting queue , no recommendation fees allowed and no under-table processing fees allowed though ang pows of goodwill are always welcomed! Applicants will be dealt with strictest confidentiality! How about that! Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa.................

Yup! Graduated in style indeed!
