I told my little angel that I will not be fetching her from school today, as I want her to be familiar with the route, to and from school. She was a bit skeptical at first, but agreed to this arrangement. Little did she know that I was just testing her, so when the school ended, I was there, of course hiding from her.After waiting for almost 10 minutes, I saw my little angel putting on her jacket, and confidently walking out of the school, I followed her from a distance and I could see that she was hesitant but has no choice except to carry on.
However, as she was about to cross to the station, she turned round and caught the sight of me, the smile on her face was indescribable, her arms quickly extended for a hug, and her lips jutting out for a quick kiss. Ahhhhhhhhhh…………………. Only a mother could feel what I am feeling. The conversation follows:
LA: Mama, you said you are not coming
Mama: I just want to see if you know the way or not, how’s school, do you like it?
LA: No, I don’t like it, it is difficult?
Mama: Why? You have no one to escort you is it?
LA: No, I have so many friends who were so willing to be my escorts, but I don’t like having to change and look for classes
Mama: I see, but I told you already, this is the system here, so how now, I don’t want you to be unhappy, do you want to go back to Beaconhouse?
LA: NO
From here the conversations become more interesting accompanied with laughter, and the exchange of opinions.
LA: Ma, you know the girls when they change for games, they just take off their clothes in front of the rest of the girls in the changing room.
Mama: Really? So what did you do?
LA: I pretend not to look (and she laughed)
Mama: It’s ok, you will have to change like that also, because the WC and the shower room is not for changing, if you decide to use these places, then you will be holding the rest of the gang from using the WC and shower for the right purpose
LA: But, how Ma, I cannot
Mama: Try la slowly, you don’t want to be the odd one out right?
Today, her second day in school, she forgot her mobile, as usual I will not be at peace if I don’t send the phone to her, so I did just that, and I cannot wait to know how she changed into her sports attire today as PE is on the time table.
Mama, wondering and smiling

Kesian dia kena jalan alone. Hope she will soon find friends who live along the way.
Amal, the first steps are always the hardest, eventually it will become as easy as pie.
Then you'll look back and wonder what was the big deal in the first place.
Study hard ok.
ada macam gossip girl tak nana? hehehe mesti best kan. ala pasal change depan orang lain tu biasa la.
cannot shy shy already. just remember that they don't mind abt others k.
so nana pun takyah nak kisah pasal diaorang.
