Appa and me, at the Malacca ZOO!

School's just great!

Hello Bumi Matha,

I'm enjoying school....and Amma said I've become a big boy now because I'm going to school rather happily. We play,and sing songs, and sometimes we have to study.

It's actually pretty easy, we have to go to school on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday...and then there is holiday! And Appa has promised to take me to Jusco  on Sunday to play basketball and car racing. Thambi will come too, but he just gets to play on the carousel....maybe sometimes on the musical cars. You know, the baby games.

I have to go to sleep at 9pm every night to make sure I can wake up at 7 am. So good nite, all. See you soon.

My 2nd day of school

I told Amma that she shouldn't hold my hand because Appa said only girls hold hands. And I told Amma not to come into the school with me. I also told her that I know how Mina Patti looks with the mole on her chin, and I will come back with her.

I panicked a little when Teacher Indira took me from the car, but I managed a strong "Good Morning" and went in with her. After a while I realised Amma was not coming in with me and I panicked further, but Teacher Indira carried me and I was consoled. I know Patti will come fetch me at the end of the day.

So today, Amma packed me some nuggets and asked me to share them with Jackson. I also want to play on the monkey bars....

Sakkti Velan goes to kindergarten

Dear Bumi Matha,

I'm 3 years and 5 months old today, and have officially become 1m in height. Amma called me the Metre Boy this morning.

I also went to school today=), to Tadika Merpati which is situated very close to my house in Puchong Jaya.

I had a red and white checked uniform, a Ben10 bag, a teddy water bottle and a Ben10 tupperware. Amma also bought me a new pair of black shoes which are fast becoming my favourite pair of shoes. For the first day in school, Amma packed me two sausages and some french fries.

My class teacher's name is Teacher Indira, and I happen to know that the other boy in class is called Jackson. He does not speak yet, because Amma says maybe he does not know how to speak English, but we managed to play some jigsaw puzzle and kari-masak together. After that we did some colouring.

Amma sat with me the whole day because I wouldn't let her go. But Amma has told me that tomorrow, she'll have to leave me at the door because Teacher Indira said parents are not allowed to come in anymore.

Well.......I suppose I will be alright just so long as Amma waits outside for me.

Okay, will update everyone on my school stories soon. Can't wait to go and paly with the monkey bars. Have to go to bed now. I need to sleep by 9pm every night to make sure I can wake up in the mornings and not sleep through my class.

Did I mention that in the assembly, they sang the "Ibu...Ibu....."song? Eshvarhen and I just love to hear that song play on television.

Right on, nitey nights everyone.
