Party Time in School

As usual we dropped you in school in the morning. Then as it was still rather early, we went off to have breakfast first before heading to the cake shop to pick up your birthday cake. And again, like on Saturday, it was raining again!!! We waited in the car for a while before mummy made a mad dash into the shop to pick up your cake.

After picking up your cake, we remembered that daddy's flash did not have batteries. So we made a quick stop to buy the batteries then headed back to school. We arrived at around 10am (Mr Tan had asked us to be there by 10.10am, in time for break time). I headed to Mrs Sebastian's office who brought us up to your classroom area. This was out first time going into the classroom area for the 5 and 6 year old. And when we reached your classroom, the first thing we saw was your excited face. Your smile was from ear to ear!!

You quickly gave us a hug and it seems that the children in your class already knew that we were coming with cake! They were also excited. You were all instructed to go wash hands which you all did and came back to class immediately. Mr Tan had even written "Happy Birthday, Evan Ban" on the white board.

When all the children were back at their seats, the cake was brought out and everyone was excited. For the school party you had asked for a Transformers design on the cake. When the candle was lighted, everyone started to sing you the birthday song.

After that Mrs Sebastian helped to cut up the cake into small pieces while Mr Tan distributed plates and spoons to the children who were allowed to eat cake (which was everyone except for one little girl). Everyone was so excited to see the cake, some of you even dig in before saying your prayers. Mrs Sebastian reminded you all and you all said the prayers (which was in a sing-song style).

Most of your friends had second and even third helping of the cake. We left after that. We did not distribute the party pack as Mr Tan said your friends would all get too excited to pay attention in class if they got the party pack. So we left the packs with him and headed home.

I hope you enjoyed the party. You even got a present from your classmate Jing Ee. By the time I reached home after work you had already opened the present and played it. It was a cute board game which Jing Ee's mummy had bought from US.
