Recently, I got a new task – send my niece to her kindergarten in the morning. Previously, it was my brother-in-law’s job. How did it become my task? Because my niece said so…she wanted me to send her and she promised that she wont cry in the classroom.
Maybe after a long holiday break, she is lazy to go to school…that’s why she cries loudly every time she reaches her classroom especially when my brother-in-law sends her there.
Maybe this is the new semester and she was arranged to sit at the back, separated from her friends. That’s why she feels lonely and reluctant to go to school. Yesterday, she asked me to drive slowly on the way to her school…my goodness, I will be late (indeed, I was late yesterday). She walked slowly to her classroom, with tears in her eyes. But today, she performed better, she started talking to the boy that sits beside her, before she put down her bag and chair. (she is very talkative actually ^o^ ). His name is Jeremiah, but she calls him “Zho No Miah” (in Foochow).
I tried to recall my kindergarten time, hardly can remember anything…still remember my teacher, but forgot my classmates ^o^ .
Nowadays, the education standard is much higher as compared to my time. Last time, I remembered we just study alphabets and some basic words during kindergarten time, more play than study. But the situation is different now – they have to learn the languages (Malay, English and Chinese), science, maths and moral. For example, the other day I saw my niece writing something like this: 不说谎，承认错误，并且改过。 I just wonder whether a 5-year-old kid can understand the meaning of the phrase…I just knew 天 地 人 水 火 土 when I was five. ^o^
