Xuan got no 3 in his class and there is a prize giving ceremony at the school that allows us to attend and take photos of him. Unfortunately, we have planned our holiday ahead and we won’t make it. He probably is being deprived from going up the stage which I feel slightly guilty. But the father takes it easy! He had never gone up to the stage during his primary school days so that’s fine that we do not have to feel guilty or sorry or whatsoever. The most important thing is character building and the eagerness to learn (which I think I do not have this at all so I’m a salted fish except when it comes to travelling). I always hope my kids to take after their father’s attitude that he is always hungry for knowledge, not because for the career advancement but just because he is eager to learn. If they are going to be kiasu, they must be one that competing against themselves and trying to be better all times rather than competing against others because that’s just too tiring and it won’t make them happy.
On another note, Cheng went for a field trip in Semenyih and managed to answer a question among his peers and got a small aquarium back! He came home and asked for some small fish from nanny to put in the mini aquarium. While I thought he is still mischievous and ignorant, he is slowly picking up and quite a focused boy in things he does!
