Yaya 1st day @ school

On the first day of school, 5th of January 2009, yaya woke up at 6.30 am. The excitement of going to school made the job of waking up yaya more easier than what I have anticipated. I prepared scrambled eggs and toast for her breakfast, and pack a bun for her snack. I couldn't accompanied her to school that day, as I need to settle some things at home. So only babah was there at school with her. As atang doesn't like to carry a digital camera around, I kept reminding babah, during that wee hour, to have yaya pictures taken using his hphone. "Mama nak tengok hari pertama yaya kat sekolah", I said to atang.

On the first day, yaya was wearing pinafore. Soon after arriving at yaya's school, I received a text message from atang, saying yaya was the only one wearing pinafore. Everyone else was wearing baju kurung. Alahai kesiannya. So, that first day of school, is the last day yaya wore pinafore.

Babah accompanied yaya until recess. Then he went home, leaving yaya under the care of her temporary class teacher.


When she came home that day, she was not happy. She said, she doesn't like the school for it was not fun. I told her, this is the starting day. Everything has not settle. Wait until the session starts, then you will know how fun it is.

And soon, yaya forgets what a boring day she had that day.
