Girlet's Graduation was a big event, with about 250 kids graduating from K2. I didn't get many pictures of her, since there were so many parents and kids around and so many restricted areas to control the crowd. So I was too far away to get clear photos of her receiving her 'diploma' and her trophy. Yup! She went to the stage twice, the second to receive a trophy for good attendance. Good thing as she wouldn't have gotten it for academic excellence. The top students probably scored 100% for all subjects.
The kindergarten is part of an Chinese education group celebrating its Centennial (100 years) anniversary. The kindy itself is 93 years old. Hence, the graduation ceremony was filled with speeches and patriotic songs. There were many secondary school girls helping out at the event, and it was clear the they and the teachers are very proud of the school. A 6 year old girl gave a long and eloquent speech, which impressed many parents as she is better than an adult. Girlet enjoyed the graduation so much that she asked if she's having another one next year. But she didn't seem to understand any of the speeches, just sense the overall excitement in the atmosphere. Well, she has the next 6 years to learn the language.
Edit : Finally got around to figuring out how to upload videos. This is Girlet's Graduation Ceremony.
Also uploaded a more interesting video on Girlet's Piano mini-concert here.

"got tired just typing that" Haha.... that tickles !!
graduation is always so kelam kabut, isn't it? I didn't get much pic of Kimberly on her kindy graduation either.
BTW, which kindy had girlet gone to, if you don't mind, since now she is no longer studying there (cos of safety issues). I don't know there are many kindies with a history of 93 years' teaching.
Hi, allthingspurple. Girlet went to Kuen Cheng Kindergarten. It was set up after the primary school, and is older than the secondary school. I didn't know that either.
So it has been settled that girlet is attending primary school at Kuen Cheng as well?
Well your girlet certainly dont have the Kuen Cheng girls school haircut yet!
Previously long hair not allowed! The sister of one of my uncles (by marriage) was headmistress of Kuen Cheng Girls School leh!
Emily : Not sure but I thought those who learn ballet are exempted. She does need a haircut though.
Emily, u r right about the hair style, cos I was 1 of the victim, I was Kuen Cheng girl too! ;p
Kel: you remember a headmistress by surname LIM?
Sharon: oh, okay - ballet dancers need to make bun hoh?
Kuen Cheng girls school? So my boy cannot consider lor.
Family first : The kindergarten and primary school are co-ed. Only the secondary school is a girls school, though there was a proposal to turn it into co-ed too. It was in the news last year when the alumni opposed the proposal. Don't know what happened after. Anyway, like girlet, you can always send your boy to kindy & primary and switch over to malay medium in secondary.
ei...cannot see the video geh..
Sorry Emily, during my time, the headmistress's last name is Cai.
Fyi, Sharon and Family first, the secondary school has accepted boys starting this year.
Congrats to your girl!
I still have to wait for a few years to experience that... hehehe
