Shukri's First Day in Primary School

Shukri officially started school on Wednesday, 3rd Jan 2007 at Bukit Timah Primary School (Class 1 Peace). Nenek, Auntie Aisha & parents were very excited on that Big Day. Auntie Aisha even took 1 day leave to wait for him in school!! We ie Mummy & Auntie even followed him in his school bus all the way to school..Ha ha..

Unfortunately the big day ended in tears cos Shukri was very scared of "Show & Tell" which their form teacher, Ms Amy Quek, asked them to prepare. He was VERY afraid that the rest will laughed at him etc. Eventually, we decided to bring Sadiq's photo & prepare two lines for him to say (after much consoling & encouragement).

But Shukri did not volunteer the next day..he pretended that he did not bring. So Gulam emailed the teacher to inform her that he was prepared. Guess what? The teacher called on him to do "Show & Tell" on Friday..ha ha..the wonders of email..We heard from Ms Quek that he did very well & has been appointed as a co-leader in Group 3.

P/S: I was very proud of Sadiq too. He did not voice any objections when we suggested that Shukri tell his class that his little brother is a naughty boy. He even offered Shukri his sunny side up egg during dinner. So sweet...
