A Token Of Appreciation

Brought JS to her school for the last time today. Despite all my negative comments and opinions and complaints on the school system and syllabus and the teacher professionalism, I still think it’s proper to wrap up her schooling in nice manner.

So off we got these little gift for each teachers and I wanted JS to personally give it to her teachers and say thank you. (I’m certainly not against any of them individually…though a bad school choice of mine, I can only blame the management for the lousy syllabus and not proper training and quality control on the teachers in their method of teaching and running the school, but as an individual  in general, these teachers are still a caring lots)

But when we arrived at school…only we realize the Deepavali Raya break has started today…haha…big head prawn mummy. The holiday will be from today till 29/10.

Ok..we will have to do this on the 30/10 then…

Touched

Last night after got back home from music lesson, my big and small bosses requested for supper. So off I went to steam bun for the small bosses and cook instant noodle for the big boss…

While wanted to bring out the instant noodle to serve my big boss, I accidentally knocked at one of the rack and the hot boiling soup scalded my left hand…ouch..damn pain (lucky the kids were no where around me)

Of course after the incident, I was in a very foul mood (was already a little unhappy on the way back about some comments hub made in the car)  and grumpy… blaming the super small kitchen, the narrow exit from kitchen to dinning area, complaining about no build-in in this house (good thing we will be getting our own much spacious house in 2 years time, just signed S&P last week..yeah!!), blaming the safety gate at the kitchen entrance and grumbled grumbled grumbled..but never admit own clumsiness ..hiaks…

After the kids had their supper, I was changing them into their pj. JS said “what happened? Why you look so sad” , I just said “pain”, still very moody. And she suddenly gave me a paper and said “mummy, I gave you a paper” (at first glance what I saw was just a small piece of blank paper )  Then I turned over the paper and saw a big heart shape that she has drawn. She said “I draw this heart for you”. I was so touched by her loving gesture that I weeped like a “soh poh” and hugged her so tight for so long. At that instant, the pain seems to have vanished. It may not be her best drawing, just a quick scribble, but I was all so emotional with just a simple drawing like that. I cried not because of the pain, but I was deeply touched. It certainly cleared off all the blues in me. In that instance, I felt there’s still someone standing by me despite all my imperfectness (again about big boss’s comments)

She was extremely sensitive last night too, instead of her usual pampered and demanding and fierce bossy tone, she talked in a very adult like tone.

“Mummy, no need to cook anymore la, we just eat at the restaurant”

“Mummy, I help you clean up the place”

“Mummy, I help you hold…”

“Mummy, let me blow for you, still pain or not”

Even WH also came to me , put his hand on my shoulder and said “Urve (love) Mummy”
