The Big ONE for Timothy...

From 2010, Bukit Timah Primary School became a single session school. This means that Timothy has to attend the morning session. I thought this can be quite a challenge as he needs to be up before the sun rises!

However, as Timothy was really looking forward to attending the "Big Boy" school, he does not have a problem waking up at 6.15am on the first day of school. He was so happy that i could hear him humming a song while taking his shower in the morning. But things changed the next day. When i woke him up for school in the morning, his comment was "What? today is also morning session?".. My reply "Timmy dear, it is going to be morning session for the next many years"... On the third day, which happens to be his birthday, his response was "i dont have to go to school. its my birthday today!".. my reply "Timmy, this is the BIG BOY school. Birthday still must go.".. On the fourth morning, his response was "I want to see Mdm Yazila and complain. I dont like morning session" (btw, Mdm Yazila is their Principal).. Timmy, Timmy...

But i must say that he has been doing a good job in getting ready in the morning.. (although they get up at 630 in the morning now instead of 615) He is definitely a better riser than Jeremy and even mummy!!

Timothy's form teacher is Mdm Idayu who happens to be Jeremy's P1 form teacher as well. Recently in the parent-meet-teacher session, Mdm Idayu was commenting how different the two brothers are.. Well, they are two extremes.. we know.. And the funny thing was Mdm Idayu actually commented about his "higher-pitch-than-usual" voice!! ha2

Timothy's best friend is Tze Hsien.. who is actually the younger brother of Jeremy's friend! As for school work, he has been pretty good as well. In Term 2, he has been appointed as Class Monitor and he is definitely very serious in doing a good job!

Looks like he is fitting in well... Well Done Timothy!

Below are some pictures captured on his first day in Bukit Timah Primary School:

All ready for school... and All smiles from Timothy... but i cannot say the same for Jeremy... well, he had experienced school for 2 years already... ha2


Buddy #1 - Fadhil.. One advantage of having a single session school is that you have someone from the upper primary to be your buddy. This is much better compared to having a Primary 2 pupil as your buddy! Fadhil was a very helpful and patient buddy... (Timmy still call out to him whenever he sees him during recess these days...)


Buddy #2 - Joshua.. This buddy was not as patient.. i could hear him hurrying Timothy to finish up his food!


Timmy washing his hands before he went off to buy his food... Guess what he came back with..



RICE.. at 9.30 in the morning! In fact, he was having this everyday in the first week. i asked him if it was that nice. He told me he had no choice cos Joshua brought him there all the time! Told him that he can buy from other stalls. So for now, his favourite is ROTI PRATA!!

Putting his wallet away before he continues with his food...


Enjoying his drink more than his plate of RICE..
