Nicole is in Standard One and her first day began with a torrential shower that lasted most of the afternoon. I knew traffic was going to be bad and sure enough it was bad. I had to park a kilometer away and we both trudged to school in the rain (wearing our rain jackets of course). A lady with a couple of kids on board stopped her car and offered us a lift but I politely declined as I was sure walking was the best option. Yes there are still kind souls on Earth!
Due to the Malaysian school system this is something we cannot avoid as there is a massive number of vehicles due to the fact the outgoing 'morning session' meets the incoming 'afternoon session'. It will ease after the next two days as parents and children adjust and soon it becomes routine.

Nic and classmate Reyna at break time!
I guess it is the sign of the times that we live in a world that is no longer secure. We have to ferry our kids to school or hire a responsible transporter to do it. As a kid I was transported to school by a 'privateer' for the first week. I started taking the stage bus to school from week two onwards. It was a safer world back then.
