Back to Kindy

(Back row; Jing Li (tiny), Ryan, You Jun and Addison. Front; Nicholas and Nicole)

Nic was neither excited nor disappointed about going back to kindy this morning. Most of the kids were already in the music room for the usual Monday morning assembly. The children would spend about a half hour singing songs. Nic did not want to join her mates and chose instead to wait by the entrance. It was only as the kids were lining up to exit the hall for their classrooms that she tagged along. It took her about five seconds before she was playing with Addison and Ryan (the hyperactive boys).

A bit further down the corridor I noticed a familiar face. It was Aida! Nicole's buddy who we thought had moved to another kindy. I learned from her mother that she was struck by dengue and hence was absent for the past two months. Glad she is back and well. The poor girl was crying at the door. Guess she has been away too long. Oh well, she'll be back to her fun self soon.
