It has been a very distressing week, for reasons I shall not discuss here. But by Thursday, I felt better, and by Friday, I felt fine and ready to dive right into the festive mood of Jolie's graduation party.
Well, it wasn't exactly her graduation. She enrolled one year earlier then her classmates, so she would be doing another year in the playgroup while almost all of her classmates would be graduating.
I think Jo would be quite confused in the new school term as to where her best friends have gone.
MIL and SIL were there too, SIL took leave to come see Jolie perform!
It took a long while before they started. Everybody had to wait for students who were late. Hmph! So inconsiderate to make the whole school of children, parents and grandparents waiting! Anyway, there's two sessions in the playgroup. This was Jolie's group.
There were many performances, this is one of the shorter ones.
I wasn't bias, but Jolie's group was way better during the performance. The first group probably got stage fright and just stood there while only one or two sang and danced. Jolie's group sang and danced and recite poems with so much enthusiasm! It wasn't award winning performance, but it was loud, lively, joyous and carefree, it really puts a smile on the adult's face.
So after the song and dance, everybody rushed out to pig out on food prepared by the family members of the students. Look at the spread! Everybody was bringing stuff like cakes and bee hoon and fish ball. I thought it would be good for the kids to have something nutritious, so I made watermelon and honeydew balls. The honeydew was so small, it outnumbered the watermelon by too much! So I hollowed out the half watermelon and used it as a bowl to put the rest of the watermelon balls.
Everybody was like "wah, so cute! so much effort just to make the balls!". But seriously, I think I did the least work there. It was so quick and simple as compared to fried bee hoon! Heehee...
Because my dish was "disposable", I didn't even had to wait for everybody to finish before leaving. We're going Hong Kong early next morning, and I haven't finish packing yet, so we bade farewell and went home. Happy Graduation!
