Children’s Day is a time to celebrate for sure! One can easily find tons of essay on Children’s Day, Children’s Day poems, Children’s Day quotes, and Mommies blogging about Children’s Day activities all over the internet.

I am a play play play Mommy, definitely not in line with what the school thinks for sure. So, as much as I wanted my boy to enjoy this Children’s Day, he is buried under tons of worksheets from school because of the long weekend school break.

Anyhow, right after school yesterday, I brought my boys down to the ‘dead babysitter‘ and let them had a roaring hour of fun.

Today is a school holiday, so the kids celebrated Children’s Day yesterday in school.

Children’s Day in Binbin’s school is celebrated with an hour of games, snacks and presents unwrapping, no pencil and paper stuff at all.

As for Keatkeat’s school, I would say it was rather special. After hearing the speech on Children’s Day by the school principal, Keatkeat’s school started to go crazy with the ‘what’s my ambition’ competition.  Everyone was allowed to wear or rather to dress up based on their ambition. Keatkeat told me that some children wore like a businessman, chief, artist, ballerina, football player, fireman and the list goes on.

Knowing that with this competition on Children’s Day, the teacher will NEVER confiscate the children’s mobile phone, so Keatkeat’s classmate who dressed up like a businessman, brought his REAL mobile phone, REAL laptop, wore shirt and tie plus jacket; and even a pair of sunglasses to school. *giggle* The effort paid off! The child came in 3rd in the competition. Whoo-hoo!

I wonder how is Children’s Day celebrated internationally, probably very much like Teacher’s Day I guess; or maybe not. International Children’s Day probably have lots more poppers, party hats, gifts, masks, balloons, etc; just like what my 2nd SIL bought for the 6 children in the family last week.

Children’s Day mini-celebration started last Sunday at my in-law’s house and another bigger celebration tomorrow. *wink*

Here’s wishing all children

Happy Children’s Day!

I finally get a chance to witness it myself!

First mention was 2 months ago…

Keatkeat: “Mommy, N. keeps coming to me and do the muack muack thing.”

Me: “What muack muack thing?”

Keatkeat: “She wants to kiss me!”

Me: “Oh, really?! So did you kiss her back?” *laugh*

Keatkeat: “Of cos NOT! I run away! But she keeps doing it!”

Me: “So do you like her?”

Keatkeat: “of cos NOT!”

Second mention was about 3 weeks ago….

Keatkeat: “Mommy, N. keeps asking me to be her boyfriend.”

Me: “So what did you say?”

Keatkeat: “Of cos NO! She is crazy! She keeps standing beside me. Where I go, she goes. Luckily didn’t follow me to the toilet.”

Me: *huge laugh* …. “So what do you intend to do?”

Keatkeat: “Ignore her!”

Me: *giggle*

Today! I finally witnessed it myself!

I brought Keatkeat to school after fetching Binbin from school. We were ‘melting’ under the hot sun after the 10mins walk. Finally we reached the school gate and was warmly welcomed by N. who was about 30 feet ahead, “Zac! Come quick! Walk Faster.” she shouted.

Keatkeat started to behave weird-ly! He spread his arms like wings of an airplane and started to ‘fly’ around me as if looking for refuge. *Huge Laugh*

Guess what happened next?!

N. ran towards us and stretched out her hand as if wanting to hold Keatkeat. *Eyes Widened* But the ‘airplane’ turned on the turbo and flew passed her, leaving the rejected ‘birdie’ chasing behind calling “Zac! Wait for me!”….. *laugh*

Then it was the moment of truth!

The birdie finally caught up and with slight panting she asked, “Zac, are you my boyfriend?!”

The pilot needed full concentration to fly the airplane and thus ignored the emergency call. *laugh*

N.: “ZAC!!! Tell me! Can you be my boyfriend?!”

*Huge Laugh*

The pilot turned around to wave goodbye to his Mommy before he sped off to look for a safe landing…… and little ‘birdie’ was still chasing behind the airplane….calling, “Zac! Wait for me!….”

*Huge Laugh*
