Few days ago Laetitia brought home a birthday party invitation card from Jewel Ng, her classmate of Malaysian-Korean origin. And since it was conveniently going to be held at a McDonalds just around our corner, and ofcourse "who are we to prohibit her from attending the 'function' " , 'cos parents also eat for free :p (yummy, Ronald McDonalds has not forgotten to take care of the adults' stomachs too!!). So off we went....
Our girl was initially not all too pleased that she had to cough up money from her own piggy bank to buy a gift for her classmate. We explained to her that since that it is her classmate's birthday/party she had to give/buy Jewel something. Finally, she succumbed to our reasoning and settled on a whiteboard marker and a notebook costing less than RM5........lol, u should have seen her facial expression when she had to part with her own money (like someone stole something precious of her). Nearly half of her class showed up, girls outnumbering boys 2-1, Ronald McDonald didn't make an appearance......booohooo........but amazing thing was that nearly all the parents just dropped their kids of and they went 'shopping' themselves...lol...free babysitting service :)
All in all, it was quite a fun birthday party (Jess and me finally got to meet some of the 'school mums'.....). We found out from those 'mums' that our girl has quite an independent streak of her own, buying her own lunch (especially nasi lemak, a local delicacy consisting of rice, half hardboiled egg, dried fish, nuts, a slice of cucumber and ofcourse sambal) from the canteen, making sure that her food gets finished first (as opposed to the other kids who just play and forget to take their food during recess time) before she ventures out to play ......that's our girl
