Parent’s Day

10 May 2008No Comment

Today we went to our very first Parent’s Day celebration at Anya’s school!

It was sort of an exciting-yet-weird kind of feeling for me. I mean it was like, wow I am attending my daughter’s PARENT’S Day event! And I’ll be the one watching (and videotaping!) her sing together with other four-year-olds on stage.

[you see, somehow I just feel it’s not REALLY that long ago when I was the one performing on stage with my secondary school friends!]

Anyway. When it was Anya’s group’s turn to perform, parents of the other kids rushed towards the front with their cameras and videocams. AND from where I was sitting (or standing!), I can’t spot my own kid!

Wilson managed to get to the front and take a few photos, but from where I sat, I could only see Anya for a few seconds, from the big projector! (the camera panned across the kids’ faces throughout their performance)

So there I was, standing, lifting my right arm, trying to keep it still while videotaping ‘the stage’, WHILE at the same time checking on Vai, who’s started standing on the bench and leaning towards the people sitting behind!

And in the end, I didn’t get to properly hear nor watch the performance! (let alone be ‘touched’ by the sweet words of the songs *sigh*).

The nursery kids sang 4 short songs – in English and Mandarin – and they’re about loving your parents and God, and enjoying the time spent with your family. Awww.

Oh well.

Still, it was a nice family event at her school today. There were food stalls and games stations for the kids too.

I do hope though that many years from today, Anya can still remember this day, the day when her Mom, Dad and little brother went together to her event, because we know it’s important for her, and because we want to be there for her.

And even if she forgets, she can always browse through my blog archives and read about her early years! *smile*
