Anya : K2 Graduation and Concert

30 October 20102 Comments

The first time I knew about how kindergartens in Singapore hold a rather elaborate graduation concerts was back in 2004, when I was engaged to plan, choreograph and produce a K2 graduation concert that involved its nursery, K1 and K2 students.

Anya went along to my meetings with school officials and rehearsals at the time, and she was only a few months old.

And just two nights ago, I was one of the audience watching this ‘no-longer-a-baby Anya’ standing on the stage, receiving her K2 graduation certificate, singing and performing together with her fellow K2 students.

She was also selected to represent all K2 afternoon classes in presenting the ‘thank you gift’ to the Board of Director (ie. the lady in the photo above who gave out the certificates).

And as I watched her, I thought to myself, all these years go by SO very quickly.

And she’ll be in Primary One, in less than two months.

Still can’t quite get it in my head, at times.

I feel excited for her, and at the same time, I feel a little … sad, for I know all this means she’s growing up and becoming more independent, which means we’ll be seeing less and less of her as she spends more and more time at school next year.

Definitely something that we need to get used to very soon.

[A note to Anya]

We all love you and we’re proud of everything that you strived for all these growing up years.

The journey ahead is still long and although it will be full of ups and downs, do remember what we’ve always shared with you … give your very best in everything that you do, and most importantly, walk every step of the way with God as your Lord. We will be there to teach and support you, but you must learn to let God be your ultimate Guide. He will give you help and sufficient strength to go through everything that you face in life ahead.

Love you.

    awww, even i feel like tearing as i read your post. sometimes i look at my daughter and wondered how time can ever fly by so fast and how can she grow up so quickly without me realising it? and i m glad i m there most of the time, as much as i can, to see her thru these years 🙂

    Hi,

    Can understand how you feel. I, too, think that time flies too quickly. In fact, so fast that it seems like yesterday when i give birth. I believe i will cry buckets when my girl “graduate” from K2 next year.
