Through my eyes

This place was so crowded. I really hate this place. I am just a small kid and I cannot see anything at this place. My mum and dad were busy talking to the people at the counters and collecting brochures.

After spending 4 hours here, finally they decided to buy a few vacation packages that include me. We will be going to Redang Island next year in late March. My mum and dad have never been to this island before. He said he is going diving when he is there. He told me diving is like what I saw in Nemo. He is going to dress up like the bad guy who caught Nemo but he promised me he is not going to catch Nemo.

Then, we are also going to Colmar Tropicale at Berjaya Hill nearby in November. My parents also have not been to this place. They told me there are Japanese Gardens, deer park, rabbit park and donkey rides. I hate donkeys!!!.

We are going back to Sunway Lagoon Theme Park again. This time we are going with Ashley and Jolyn. It will be in December during the school holidays.

By the time we arrived in the music class, most of the students and their parents have already taken their place and chose the electones. My parents and I chose the next available electone. Then, the music teacher came in and made an announcement. The school principal was not well and she could not come to evaluate us. This was really a bad news. How can I pass? Then, the music teacher told us that she would do the evaluation and pass us if we do well. This was the good news

I was the first to call upon to perform. I walked to the teacher’s electone and sat down. Calmly I opened the music book to the page for ‘The French-Fry Bandit’ and I started to play. As I play, I began to relax. Moreover, without realizing it, I completed the whole song. Everyone clapped for me. I was so happy and I went back to sit with my parents.

I waited for the rest of the students to perform before we start with group performance. We sang the song ‘Baby Twinkle’ and played various instruments for another song called ‘Indian Dance’ together. Everyone of us enjoyed ourselves.

At the end of the session, the music teacher told us that all of us passed the test. Then, she briefed us on the next session on Book 3.

After that, we had our party. I shared my jelly with all my friends and they shared their food with me.

After the party, my parents took me to MATTA Fair.

This morning, my mum reminded me that we will be making jelly tonight. I was so excited and I told my friends in Montessori school about it. After school, I phoned my mum to remind her to come back early so that we can make jelly together.

My mum came back from work earlier than usual. We had quick dinner and headed home. But, my mum made me practice my music before we can start to make jelly. So, I had to practice my music for the final time. This evening’s practice was not easy. My mum and dad made sure I do not make any mistakes. So, I had to repeat the same song again a few times until they are satisfied.

We started making jelly at 9PM. It was fun. I helped mum to pour the jelly crystals into the hot water and stirred until it dissolved. We did the same routine twice. First was for red strawberry and the other for blueberry. When it cooled down, my mum poured it into the plastic cups which she bought from Giant yesterday.

Then, it was bedtime again. No computer games tonight as my dad to me that it was late and I had to wake up early tomorrow for my Yamaha Junior Music class.

I simply cannot believe it!!! It happened again for the second time in two weeks. My Montessori teacher gave me English spelling test for words meant for September 12. This time, I got two out of five. I am not happy and my dad is upset.

Last week on August 29, she gave us English spelling test meant for Sept 5. After my dad clarified with her, it seemed to have resolved the problem.

Never mind, my dad will be seeing my Montessori teacher again tomorrow for explanation with better clarity.

I have always wanted to perform well in my Montessori school’s spelling tests be it English, Bahasa Malaysia or even Mandarin. Nevertheless, if my mum and dad do not properly understand the schedule, they cannot help me prepare for the tests.
 

I am so worried about my music test this weekend but excited about the party. My mum and dad are stressed about my practice. They kept remind me to practice every evening after dinner.

I kept pestering my mum to buy jelly crystals so that we can make the jelly for the party. She kept postponing it. She told me she will only buy it on Thursday and we will make the jelly on Friday evening. So, I have to wait another day before we can go the Giant to buy the jelly crystals.

My practice for the three songs is getting better. I made fewer mistakes. My mum is happy. I get to play computer games tonight.

These few days, I am so busy practicing music for my Yamaha Junior Music Book 2 test.  I chose to perform the music ‘The French-Fry Bandit’. I also have to practice a song called ‘Baby Twinkle’ for group performance and practice tambourine for another song called ‘Indian Dance’.  My mum will sit down together with me to help me when I am practicing.

My music teacher is also organizing a small party after the test. The previous week, I told my music teacher that I will bring jelly for the party. Earlier, I have helped mum made some jelly for us to eat at home. I will help my mum to make the jelly and bring it to the party.

Each evening, my mum and dad will remind me to practice these three songs. After the practice, my dad will let me play with his computers. He will let me choose any game I want to play.

I am not perfect yet. I still make mistakes here and there but I am improving. I am sure I will do well on that day and make my mum and dad proud of me.
