Their GD was an emotional day for me. Especially Jannah's GD. She was extremely excited about it, as not only were she performing with her class, she also had a solo show and tell session. So excited I was that I took the front seat at the concert. Kiasu much Mommy?! I was so proud of her. This from the girl who at one point didn't want to go to school. She's just grown so much.
She delivered her performance well. Didn't falter. Didn't get nervous. And to think that she is just 6! *sigh* I know I didn't have that kind of confidence at that age.
[pictures were copied back from ig as the phone died on me before I could backup on the PC. hence, no pictures of her performance. learnt my lesson, now everything goes to dropbox :) ]
If you've been following the blog, you know that I don't put much emphasize on her academically. I know her capabilities. Imagine my surprise when they announced her as the Best Improved Student. It was such a big moment for her. And I was so overwhelmed. I cried. Like really really cried. Haha.
That was a major turning point for her. She actually started to believe in herself more. To emphasize, I don't have to tell her to study. Or read a book. At all. She would on her own, get a book to read or pick out any one of her workbooks to revise. SubhanAllah..
See how proud she is with her trophy. :)
Kakak's GD was done well this year. The hall was big enough to accommodate all parents. And most importantly, ada aircond! Haha.
Look! Aliah actually took part! A major milestone for her too. She's turning out to be a pro at this kompang business. :)
But yeah, she's more comfortable in her part at the sidelines. You'd never get her to go up on stage to perform. Hehehe..
After all her hard work through out the year, it came as no suprise when she was nominated one of the three Most Outstanding Student of her Year. It is good to know that she received the acknowledgement that is due to her, after what happened last year. It's only fair they recognise the hard work these kids put in, regardless whether the top 3 came from the same class or not.
Even though it was expected of her, I have to say I was still very emotional. Nangis bagai jugak. Haha. Ah well, I could always blame it on my pregnancy hormones kan. :)
Dear Aliah and Jannah,
If Mommy does not tell you this often enough, do know that I am always so proud of the little ladies the both of you have become. I can only hope and pray that you will both continue to be successful in whatever you set out to do in your life. May you both grow up to be good caliphs and continue to make the family proud.
