Cocky

My eldest just became very cocky. I pity her mom (that's me!) and dad. Because now it's gonna be doubly hard to make her study.

Well, she has Chinese tuition every Friday. I overruled her dad and herself of course because I don't want to get heart palpitation every time there's an exam for her Chinese subject.

Here's what happened.

Thursday night, I told her to tell her Chinese tutor that she has an exam next week. She didn't inform her tutor. Grrrrr. And, we didn't study during the weekend. What will I teach her????

Anyway, Tuesday came, she got her result. She got 20/20 and she had the gall to call me and be smug about it. She even said "I didn't study yet I got a perfect score!" OMG!

That was not the end of it. I've been asking about her Math result because I was a bit nervous about it. Again, we didn't study. Haha. Because she was so sleepy so the exercises I made for her just became scratch papers.

I thought (yes, I did think about this) that she was hiding the result from me for fear of my *cough* anger *cough*. So, I asked the mom of one of her classmates and she told me that they have not gotten the results too. Anyways, again, I received a call around 4pm from my dear daughter. "Mom, I got 20/20 on my Math. Do you remember that I just slept and didn't study?" Huh! Ang yabang talaga! Gusto ko sana sabihin na "anak, term 1 pa lang, madali pa..." But of course, ayoko naman sirain tuwa nya at parati na lang sya nasesermonan. Yes, Kiasu mom! and dad na rin!

We're just happy with her accomplishments. I know that she's a bit (?) not happy with our nagging. But, as I always tell her, I just want to cultivate good study habits to her. I hope that when she grows older, she'd appreciate this.

I think this mom is cocky as well about her daughter's accomplishments that she has to blog about it. Huh! Hehehe...

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
