Primary 4 End of Year Exams

Tomorrow, Tuesday, marks the last paper, Science. 

Last week was English on Thursday, Math on Friday, Chinese yesterday, Science tomorrow. 

We have done so many past Year papers. But I felt that we could have done the revision slightly earlier. 

I have tried my best and spent all my time coaching his English, Chinese & Science. I took leave last Wednesday and today to do final revision with him. 

I really hope he can do well. He is a very smart boy but very careless in his work. 

He told me today's Chinese Paper was a easy one. I hope he can really score a good banding. He mentioned Math paper was also easy but English was a little hard. 

When we are doing past Year English papers, I can see that he have already improved alot on his grammar and vocabulary. 

And for Chinese, his 词语陪搭 always gets full marks after alot of revision. He can tell me the answer as easy as abc. I am very happy that he is improving in Chinese. 

Now, for Science, I told him to try his best to get as many marks for the multiple choice. 

I know he has already given his full efforts. I hope his efforts pay off. 

He told me, his Math teacher praised him infront of the entire class saying that he is very focused now in class and everyone should learnt from him. Wow. Impressive. 

Although I ever dream that he can be a prefect, but now I think it's okay. Because getting good results is better. There is some characteristics that you need to have to become a prefect. You will need to be able to speak up. This is something I think he does not have. It is born with it, either you dare or you don't dare. For me, I don't dare to speak up too, so I think it's within the genes. 

All the best for your last paper, kor! 

Disappointment

Today, i do not know how to teach my children. Very disappointed and felt that I failed my duty as a mother. 

At Harbourfront, I saw his sister sneakily in a shop. Then I happen to see a pen with missing figurines inside. I do not wish that what I suspect is true. I had a feeling she took something from the shop because she saw me behind and her reaction changed and told her papa that she wanted to leave already. Usually, we are the ones who told them time to go. 

I tell myself maybe the figurines are already missing and I shouldn't doubt her. I struggled my emotions and thinking's while still spending time in the mall. 

After I came back home, I told papa to check her pockets if there is any small figurines cuz I suspect she took it from the shop. We couldn't find anything. I was relieved that what I suspect is wrong and I should not have think that she took the things. 

Then I asked kor to go wash the diamonds we brought home from the claw machine shop. He did not pour everything out from the bag but taking 1 by 1 out. I felt something is wrong. I took over the bag and poured out everything. Saw the small figurines. Asked him what are these? From where. He said is mei stuffs. I asked me, she say she took it from the shop. I broke down. 

After much explanation, it was her 2nd time. Both being kor telling her to take it if she likes it. Very disappointed. We explained the consequences. I made sure they understand the severity of theft. 

I am still feeling disappointed. Why did they do that knowing it is a wrong thing to do. 

We have always been buying these for them if they like it and if it is within our means. Why are they still having these thoughts? 

Papa told them to throw the stolen stuffs away. It was their 2nd time, by the way. 

While I tell them I trust them, but in my heart, I am still doubting if they will do the same mistake again. 

They went to bed crying silently. I do not know if they are genuinely realising their mistake or because we were tearing while trying to explain how disappointed we were. 

I hope this will not break the trust I have for them. 

I hope they will not do that ever again. 

We are not rich, but whatever we can afford, we will buy it for them. In fact, I felt that they were very blessed in this family already.
