Farewell & Welcome

Finally, this is the day that all of us been waiting for...Nikki's Graduation Concert. We woke up unusually early today, we are extremely excited for the concert today. Mummy help Nikki to put on some light make-up and dressed up for the concert.

The concert went on very well except for some minor technical glitches. Nikki said that she almost wanted to cry when she received her certificate from Father Henry Siew, because that means she and her classmates will be leaving the school soon.

We sang three meaningful songs for our finale, they are:

1) Give Thanks (Mummy's favourite)
2) We've a small voice
3) 手牵手


After the concert, we proceeded to the reception to mingle and meet up with all the teachers, parents and friends. Mummy and Daddy had prepared little bouquets of flowers for our teachers and principal. Her form teacher, Mrs Singh complimented that Nikki was her model role student and she even wondered how and what Daddy and mummy did to be able to guide her so well! They were so flattered though a bit embarrassed to hear such compliments. Our Principal, Mrs Leong was so touched when she received and read the card that Nikki made specially for her.

Here's what she wrote on the card:

Ah Zhen Yiyi joined us for lunch and she treated us to Swensons for celebration. For Welcome, after lunch, we rush to Nikki's new school to purchase her uniforms. Daddy was surprised to learnt that even the socks and shoe laces needs to be purchased from the school because it's specially printed with the school's name and initials.

Back home, just before dinner, Daddy was sorting out and downloading the pictures and videos taken this morning. Nikki suddenly starting throwing tantrums and even lost her appetite for dinner. Tears started to roll down her cheeks at the dinner table, she's starting to miss her friends and teachers. Even her favourite chocolate brownies wouldn't be able to cheer her up.

Before she sleeps, she hugged Daddy and Mummy telling them that she's glad that they are our Daddy and Mummy! That's even sweeter than the chocolate brownies!
