Hari Kecemerlangan Pelajar

amir had his prize giving / speech / concert day on saturday. ever since we got the letter informing the parents that the school was organising a concert, we've been asking amir if he's singing (his answer was "haa...") or if he's dancing (his answer was "haa...").

come the day, we were so excited and so curious. we were quite impressed with the school. they put up 2 canopies for the parents, a small stage for the perfomances, the teachers even wore matching baju kurungs with name tags (so we finally knew who cikgu sally, cikgu ummu that amir's been mentioning were).

amir's performance was the first. being the youngest, i guess, the teachers were afraid they would start acting up as the day progressed. amir was getting a prize for being no 2 in his class in the recent mid-year exam. the headmistress, who seem very motherly, informed the parents that the year-end convocation would be held in a cooler, bigger hall in november. i might not be able to make it, darn it.

amir and 5 of his classmates stepped on stage at around 9am. hakim cried seeing his mother so there were 5 left, amir was right in the middle, he was the tallest. he seemed calm but a bit shocked seeing the crowd. then he saw us and had a big smile on his face. as usual after that, he started introducing (from the stage) his friends to us and us to his friends.

the the song started. everyone clapped and laughed seeing 5 very cute kids, all dressed in blue overalls and caps, singing and dancing to "twinkle, twinkle little star". unfortunately hubby was too busy with the video camera and amir's mummy was too busy crying seeing her little baby on stage, that we forgotten to take pictures. maybe hubby can get some from his colleagues. then we were entertained by children from different age groups with singing, dancing, some acting, nasyid and recital of sajak, poetry and surah, hadis & ayat al-quran. we were very impressed with the children and the effort the teachers had put into making this a great morning.
