Gabby has left the previous CC for good and started her 1st day @ Kinderland on 1st July 2009.

We had prepared Gabby weeks ahead that she be transferring to another CC by doing the following:
1. Brought her to the new CC to play on Saturday for the past weeks.
2. Whenever we pass by NTUC, we would tell her that her new school is located on the 3rd floor.
3. Told her that she be going to a new environment, meeting new friends and teachers.

The day has come. Our Princess Hon is ready for school. As a tradition, my mum would give her a red packet on the 1st day of school as signify for good start in the new environment.

Her new uniform, t-shirt with shorts (exercise attire) for the morning. After shower, she would be changed into her long sleve with track pants.

Getting ready for school

On the way to Kinderland

We stayed for an hour and left just before the lesson starts @ 9ish. We carried her and told her that we be going away for awhile (a white lie) and will be back later to bring her home. Gabby cried, of course, at the very natural state. We almost didn’t make it for the lift, cause of Gabby’s separation anxiety.

By about 1ish, the chinese teacher called me and told me that Gabby has stopped crying shortly after we left, not even a sob after that (I told you she is a smart girl, she wouldn’t waste her tears for nothing). She also told me that Gabby has been quite attentive during lesson and has no problem with the teachers and classmates. Even the vice-principal was surprise that she can adapt to the new environment fast. I told the teacher that it could be due to the preparation as mentioned above and this is the 2nd CC for her. Anyway, as her name say, Gabrielle, which means GOD is her strength (Hebrew). In whatever things she does, GOD’s strength and wisdom would always be with her. Amen.

We were very pleased that she is doing fine and continue our date with a peace of mind. :P We were there @ abt 4:30 to bring her home and Missy Gab was having her tea. So we waited till abt 4:45 and our darling Princess was done and was happy to see us. The assistance teacher told us that she needed to change Gabby to her ‘home’ clothes and diaper before she left for the day. (Think it’s the tradition of Kinderland practice but I could be wrong.) Also was told to bring a bottle of lotion so that they can apply some on her after the shower.

So far The Hons experience with Kinderland is quite good but it’s too early to tell. Let’s hope things stayed the way it is.
