Wah! A load of wishes:)

Yesterday marked the official last day of Brendan’s school years in his Primary School.  In total 6 years. Does that also mark the end of days of childhood and innocence?

Oh! Our boy was feeling depressed and reluctant.  First time, he and his friends are old enough to understand the sorrow of farewell:(    

 It brought me back to 20 over years ago. That uncertainty for future in secondary school, that crossroad junction feeling as a soon-to-be teen, that sadness to leave old classmates, teachers and the growing up years behind. It’s understandable why my sentimental boy was and is still in tears…..

<Constantly, reminding myself to be that understanding mum who will walk through this difficult stage with my boy with understanding and optimism.>

Thanks to FB! Brendan and his friends can still be in contact:) I got him an autograph anyway for his classmates to leave words that are worth more than what money can buy in future. My autograph is still with me after more than two decades and I know how much it means which the technology of social media like FB can never replace. 
(By the way, I am wondering do our P6 kids still practise autograph -leaving a message anymore in these modern days?)

Deep in my heart, I know he must have had many wonderful memories of his school, teachers and friends. Really BIG  THANKS to all those friends and teachers who have left such enjoyable and impressionable memories in his childhood journey.

Thank you. Here’s a local chinese song dedicated to my boy and his schoolmates on this memorable day - it left me in tears again, bringing back much memories of older friends:(

We gave Brendan a target to score better than his mid year’s grades. So, he did his very best.

Although I thought I would never quit my job to devote my time educating my kids, I did it anyway eventually. So, with 1-to-1 guidance, he puts in his very very very best *haha*. Or was I giving him pressure by watching him day and night *hahaha*.

We didn’t push him to be number 1 but Brendan made it again - achieving first in class for academic performance for Primary 6 school preliminary exams. As it has been competitive in his class and we were also busy multi-tasking with interviews and tests for DSA, frankly it was a very pleasant surprise:)

As we saw him walk confidently onto the stage during the school’s graduation ceremony to receive his prize, we feel so proud of him. Haha! He has overtaken papa and mommy in the number of prize achievements.

<”Son, you are my role model. Not because we want you to be number 1 but because you are self-motivated and always persevere to do your very best in everything you embark on. All the best for your PSLE results. Whatever it is, as long as you have done your best:)”>
