It's A Prince!!

Yup. The VVIP mentioned in my Mish-Mash Post is a Prince.

Which Prince??

Well, S1 came home on Monday and told me that he got a clue from his friend, and the VVIP's initials are PW. And after reading last week's school newsletter which indicated that dignataries such as Margaret Thatcher, Prince Edward and Princess Diana had indeed graced their school previously, I went ahead to guess...

Could it be Prince of Wales? or better...Prince William??

Turns out that the VVIP is Prince Andrew aka. Duke of York.

Anyway, yesterday was Parents-Teacher Conference Day and I did go to school to meet the boys' teachers. As we were approaching the school, we had to detour through some really really small roads. The roads were soooo narrow that I had to take some pictures.

Narrow Road to School. I was soooo tempted to touch the wall!!
The reason that we were detoured was that they HAD to HURRY up to finish off repairing the main road to school. Can't exactly let the Duke of York go on the VERY VERY BUMPY ROAD, right? You won't believe how bumpy the road to school is. It is really quite ridiculous. Imagine OSIM iGallop!!!!

This road to school has been in repairs since 3- 4 weeks ago. If in KL, one night already "kau-tim". Here?? So inefficient. But they did get it smoothen out for today lah...

As boys have Chinese class at 4.30 pm, and due to the Duke's visit, the dismissal time was delayed till 3.30 pm. In order to make it for Chinese class, I had to come to school to pick the boys up (if they were to follow the bus, sure will miss Chinese).

Cars and parents were not allowed into the school until after the Duke has left.

Didn't managed to take his pic...but waved at him lah.

Once we were allowed in, I cepat-cepat dashed in to collect the boys...

Here is S1 with the Union Jack....
