My Baby's 6!!


Well, time flies whether you like it or not.....
This is 2008 and my baby's 6 years old already! He's having a good time with his friends from K2B and some neighbourhood friends. Next year, he'll be in Pri 1 at Catholic High and God help him!! I've heard of the hard work needed to be in that school and I can jolly well say, looking back, getting in was the easy part. Out of 36 vacancies, there were 63 registrations, so that makes his chance 50-50. His number was pulled out of the box on the 14th count and, voila, he's in! Now for the hard part, he has to work REALLY hard to stay in the school and to go to the secondary school.
So....how not to be a kiasu parent?! The fear that my son can't cope or keep up with his peers is really giving me nightmares. I feel the urgency to start him on tuition classes for Maths and Chinese right away. He's been attending classes at 'I Can Read' and hopefully, he'll be able to start reading on his own by year's end. Let's see how it goes......

As usual, I wish him all the best in life and may he grow up to be kind, considerate, gung-ho, smart person.
I love you Nicholas, no matter what.
