弟弟's Kindy Graduation Concert 2013

It's the second time 弟弟 is graduating from kindy :P and this time at a different kindy compared to the previous years. It's only because he'd completed the Flip-TEC program and still have another year to go before Year 1, that we got him into this Smart program (which not smart at all from our experience).

Since they charge parents RM90 per person for those going as they supply buffet lunch, only 爸爸 is going. It's at G Hotel. Good thing we didn't all go, as the performance looks pretty boring to me compared to the efforts by his previous kindy.

Here is his first dance, it's an old Chinese song from the 90's. He's just sitting around and waving his arms. I really couldn't believe the teachers had forced him and his classmates to go 30 minutes early everyday for the past 2 months just to train them to sit around and wave arms.


The next one he had a part in is the graduation ceremony. He got a consolation prize for English storytelling and the graduation trophy (seems like prizes were distributed to all the kids). He told us the ambition is selected by teacher (he said he told teacher he wanted to be engineer but teacher say cannot use that, what!!!), they seem to not give the kids a chance to be themselves.


Last dance called "Sayang". Again more sitting around and waving. Some walking around the stage towards the end. 弟弟 didn't even swing much to the music at the latter part, even though some of his classmates did.

As for his kindy progress, seems like he is doing well. Throughout the year, there were stories in 3 languages that he had to present in class, BM pantun, English story and Mandarin story (I only video'ed the BM pantun as he is not willing to repeat the stories for us after he presented). We don't know if teacher does revision with them or how the tests/assessments were conducted. Again they were not given the books back to revise before exam. Anyway, this center tried to be advance to teach 6 years old the Year 1 syllabus for Maths and Science in Mandarin. However their teacher is not trained properly and she keep misleading the kids with wrong answers, even for test. How do we know? They took the questions directly from the workbook that 姐姐 used in school and she spotted the wrong answer right away :P I just pray they did not muddle up my boy's brains in the one year he spent here :(

Love To Life school concert 2012

Final year at kindy for 弟弟! He is graduating from kindy this year. He was very excited as they had been practising their dances for ~3 months. He's excited about his dances, he's excited about his costume with sparkling stuff, he's excited to be in a concert, he's excited to be getting a bear-bear, and it's one of the bigger milestones to be graduating :)

He is the 4th boy from the left

We were late getting out of the house as 爸爸 was late back with fast food dinner for us. 姐姐 has ballet class at the same time, and heard this year's concert is for 2 branches together so it's going to be longer than last time. As it's the final chance to get some photos we have to snap some before returning the graduation robe, just like 姐姐's time. We purposely wore the same clothes for the fun of it :D

Since I have to wait for 姐姐's ballet class to finish, we were nearly late. Somehow the emcee was also late due to traffic jam :P thus we were just in time for the opening. 爸爸 missed the group photo taken with teacher Kogi, he said he just stepped out and didn't realize they have photography session :(

Smiling for 爸爸 :)

All the 6 years olds queue for their turn to take the scroll and teddy from Teacher Queenie, our beloved school principal. 弟弟 being playful and on energetic high was tugging the bear away from 姐姐 before his teacher called him to join the others backstage, as the graduating class will present the first dance.

The opening dance "Tarian Ritma Muhibbah" presented by the graduating class. Colourful costumes, fancy dance and co-ordination. It surprises me that 弟弟 can even do self-adjustment after their movement from one side of the stage to the other. Sometimes he looks towards us and smiled his playful smile of his.

Being in the graduating class, he got more chance for performance on stage. Last year at 5 years old class, he was just in one dance.

The second song he is performing is Zumba Waka-waka. This is one where it's funny like he was at the wrong place at the start and he sendiri made adjustment someway after the song started. When they are supposed to hold hands and jump together, his friend on the left side shook off his hands and jump out by himself. Hahaha.. :)

From concert photo CD

The last song he performed is Mandarin song "浪迹天涯". Music with very distinctive, strong beat. The children must have practised many many times until they can get into action automatically when the specific music is on as they paused for a while and started in the middle of the song. The other actions were done by the girls at the side.

Some random shots

He said Yang Yang asked him to take off his shirt on stage. He even showed peace sign to us :( 

Boys move to the center

His friend Bryan has such funny expression here :P

Couldn't see him at all at finale since he's big boy and in the highest class, means he is right at the back :)

The concert ends around 10pm, wow glad this is his last year :D

Fliptec at Q Celebration of Learning 2012

This will be 弟弟's final year at his kindy. So the last Celebration of Learning mini concert for him. He was so excited to have a concert. He requested to have his hair styled spiky with gel :) No wonder, all his good friends in class all having spiky hair today, hahaha.

Most of the boys with spiky hair

Partner with his good friend Bryan

Finale also stand next to Bryan

They sing Bubbly song for boys and Mandarin song 洗澡歌. The 6 years olds are the ones performing first. Last year, when he was in 5 years old class, his class performed last. As usual this year parents are all over the place trying to get their children's video and photos so it's very crowded. 姐姐 didn't want to have a photo and it's still very crowded in the hall for refreshment session, so no more photos :)

Just last week, they had Parent Teachers' Day and 弟弟 was given good feedback by his class teacher. Only his Mandarin teacher feedback that sometimes he was chatting to friend in class. Hm, have to enforce discipline to restrict chatting during lessons otherwise it will become a problem when going to primary school.

弟弟's 2011 concert - Season Of Harvest

弟弟 is excited at having his concert. We brought back his costume 2 days ago and nearly lost his sash, but found it at the car park. He told us he is in Indian dance. LOL we found on the day it's a traditional Kadazan dance. Anyway from the look of the costume we have no idea what it is about. Met neighbour at the lift and she had mistaken him for 姐姐 and was so surprised she cut off her hair until so short. I had to tell her it's our boy, maybe it's because of the makeup :D

Somewhere at Shang Wu. Nice garden feature.

During finale

Finish concert, queue to wait for parents' pickup backstage. We sent 姐姐 to bring him out this year, so we goyang kaki while waiting for him. Thank you, 姐姐!

He said it's very hot backstage and he's sweating like mad.

We only manage a few photos as parents really go crazy this year and blocked the stage. Even though we were super early and got front row seats, it's not any help when it comes to taking photos or videos. Those heads/big bods just got in the way. But we're proud of him as he manage to squeeze out and let us take a few clearer shots/vids of him whenever he saw 爸爸 nearby.

Celebration of Learning 2011

This year only 弟弟 attend Celebration of Learning. 姐姐 is in the audience. Many parents stand up to take video/photo of their children performing, so 姐姐 have to stand up too as she cannot see.


弟弟 queing up for his performance. His class is the last one :P There are three 5 year old class. 弟弟 sing "My Friend", recite rhyme "I Choose To Be Good" and Mandarin Song "白云".

After performance, the children hv some snacks. Sigh... they eat a lot of junk food like crackers, mamee, mimi... :P Luckily there are some kuih and jelly to fill up their stomach

Teddies waiting to be given to the 6-year-old grads

Shang Wu hall doesn't have air-con, see my boy sweating and the 苦样子，didn't even smile for the camera.

The children in 姐姐's class. She came back to tell us, just leave the hair loose. But it's not so manageble with her wavy hair.

Group graduate photo... too small to see her in the middle

弟弟 trying to grab the bear, he is always trying to annoy 姐姐

This year we didn't buy the photos from school as need to get the whole CD. Most photos didn't have 姐姐 and 弟弟 in front thus another reason we didn't buy the CD.I found these somewhere :)

You Are My Sunshine

She's at the back.

Finally borrowed the photo CD from a friend :P
