This Monday morning I was in Batu Pahat. So I went to my brother Ah Yu's house. Then we brought his son to the "rally" venue--Dao Ming Kindergarten. It was about 10 minutes' walking distance. Holding Yuri's small hand, I remembered those days I went to kindergarten opposite my house when I was 5 years old.
At 8am, there were not many "participants".
Yuri's bag looked as big as his body. I did not help him to carry it so I had no idea how heavy it was. I was more impressed by another boy who arrived with a trolley bag.
Yuri is in one of the two classes for the four-year-old children. The assistant teacher was already there to welcome him.
I asked for permission to visit the classroom and take pictures. There were crafts everywhere on the walls
and on the floor. The theme was sea. It had never come to my mind that disposable dishes could be turned into crabs or turtles. What creative ideas!
Yuri who loves being in the pool surely enjoys the presence of these sea animals who will not bite or sting him.
There was even a friendly fish calling him by his name in English.
He came out from the classroom to go to the playground. It was much smaller than the one in the park. Nevertheless, he had fun. If his two cousins were around to play together, he might laugh more.
Next, he ran to another place and kept moving around.
Finally, I managed to ask him to sit still next to me at a wooden table for a few minutes. Although he was quite new to the kindergarten, his charisma soon drew two lovely girls to join him.
It was a pity that they were not his cup of tea. He already had someone else who had been showing care to him.
Unfortunately, when Ah Yu and I were leaving, that girl who usually arrived early still did not turn up. So I missed to see the sweetheart who is my nephew's latest motivation to go to kindergarten.
