Sports day

Today I attended Hannah’s sports day. I was so proud of her. She’s so different after we left her with her teachers. I was observing her and she became so obedient and this good girl that follows every instruction the teacher gives. It’s not that she is not a good girl when she’s at home but she became overly obedient and this totally different girl. Okay back to the sport’s day. As usual she was fast in making her currypuff.I was puzzled too when she first mentioned it. Yeah I did asked the question about what has curry puffs got to do withsports. Well it was a race on who can make currypuffs the fastest and they made it into a group thing. It was interesting and fun seeing her taking the dough and kneeding it and shaping it into a currypuff. Now I can get her to help me make some soon. After the race, she got her medal and then all the children were rallied into a big hall for their MacD burgers and drinks. H went after them to get Hannah. I waited outside and after about 5minutes, H didn’t turn up, I went after them. I saw H waiting with a group of parents infront of a door at the end of the hall. I stopped halfway when I saw a glass window attached to the hall. I stopped and peered inside and I saw Hannah. She was holding her burger and drink trying to find a place to sit. She finally settled beside Amanda(Mental note to myself: Amanda’s mom’s name is Zarina).Then I saw her peeling the wrapper of the burger and she peeked inside. Then I saw her stopped and rewrapped the burger again. At that point of time, I felt like crying right there and then infront of that couple of hundred people and make a fool of myself. I realized that they gave her McChicken and she doesn’t take any burger with even a shadow of vegetables. Her favourite is and I quote “ bread, fish, bread”. Figure it out yourself. It makes my heart breaks when I realized that she wont have anything to eat because they assumed that every kid enjoys chicken burger with everything in it.Hannah doesn’t but she didn’t make a sound, she folded the burger, she didn’t throw it away or anything. She just rewrapped the burger and sat on the chair and drank her juice. I was so caught up with my thoughts and fighting really hard not to cry that I had both my palms pressed against the window. I stared at her for the longest seconds after that and she looked up and saw me. Her face lit up and she quickly went to find her teacher and pointed at me. I almost ran to the door because I know she expects me to be there to meet her. I went then and the teacher said “ Is Hannah’s mummy out there?” I said’Yes!” and she came to me smiling. We took her to a kopitiam for breakfast and she had nasi lemak. That was where I met another one of her friends- Adam(Another mental note to myself- Adam’s mummy is Eliza or was it Shaliza). It’s hard to be a mummy when you have to remember so many things from work and now all these other mummy’s names and Hannah’s friends. But one thing for sure, I love this mummy thing and I love Hannah.
