Today is Ezel first day at kindergarten back in Slim River. I purposely taken one (1) day leave to accompany her to kindergarten. I really do not want to miss her first day of school even this is not so official school yet like elementary school.
Ezel is very excited since yesterday as she knows she is going to school. I guess she been longing for it for the past year as she is always alone at home. She been longing to have some companions to play and talk with.

She wakes up early and full of energy. She obeys every instructions we give her. After brushing her teeth, I dress her up on her kindergarten uniform and tie her 'mickey mouse' hair style. We go for breakfast first at the main road food center. Then, we head to the kindergarten which is nearby.
As it is first day of school, parents and children are everywhere. I go into the school with Ezel and there are few tables that look like registration counters. I approaches one (1) of the counters and sit down. The teacher asks for Ezel age and I inform her that she is four (4) years old. Upon hearing Ezel age, she asks me to go to another counter.
At this counter, the teacher again asks for her age and then asks me to sit down. After confirming her age, she informs me on the school fees and other payable fees which total up about RM150++. After getting the receipt and the insurance form, the teacher informs that she can go back now as today is only for registration.
When I tell Ezel that we need to go home, she is quite disappointing and so am I as we assume that there will be school today. Well, a least let the students sit down in their respective class and familiar with the environment but not in this kindergarten. Ezel starts to cry when I tell her to leave and by the time she is in the car, she has cry out aloud.
Ken is a bit angry as he also assume the same that Ezel will play for one (1) or two (2) hours here. Furthermore, her beloved daughter is crying which makes him more angry. In the end, we go back to his parents house and complaint while Ezel still crying. Then, we bring Ezel to Ken grandma house so that she can play with the baby that her third grand auntie take care.
