学着放手

Last Friday, secondary one students taking 3rd language are supposed to report to language Centre.  It wasn’t clear on the letter as to what was to do done, as in if it’s just registration, or buy books, or if there's orientation.  I read online forum that they are to buy books, and that the books are very expensive.  Anyway, due to stock-take at office, I decided to let Lynn go by herself.

I told her to send me updates when making her way there (in case she get lost), so she sent me a photo when she got there.  Then she WhatsApp me a lot, when she was filling in the registration form.  Soon after, she went home. 

That night, I found out from her that she bought a stack of books (I thought only one textbook).  They costed $155 in all!  She paid with her new ATM card. 

I'm very happy that she handled this by herself.  I hope she enjoys the new found freedom and responsibilities.  I'm learning (very well) to let go. 
 

Diary

Oh no, I am one year behind on my blog..  Bhutan was Oct last yr, and I left the posts hanging at Day 3..

I should revive my blog, review the security settings.  This morning while having breakfast, WK said that we had not been to Malacca for CNY for a few years already. I searched my blog and proved him wrong (we were there 2017).  I read the entry with a smile on my face, and doing that reminded me that I must update my "online diary”. 

Some random photos before I plan for catchup, hah!

Sweetie attended a Ginger bread decoration class at the CC last Monday.  The ginger bread biscuits were pre-baked already; the kids merely decorated them with icing, mash-mellows, M&Ms and other stuff.

Sweetie also attended a 2 days (5hrs per day) art class - "2D landscape design".   She enjoyed this class thoroughly. She was taught how to draw and colour on canvas with acrylic paint.  I am very happy with both the process and the result.  So glad that she enjoyed, she learned, and she's satisfied with her work.
