♥ MY BLOGGIE(:

Today I saw a very typical Singaporean. Very kiasu one.
You see, we were doing stretching exercises during ballet lesson when this super kiasu mother entered the studio with her daughter who looks like a primary school kid. LOL.
In actual fact, she's already in sec 1. =.=
We all thought that they were going to sit in to observe the lesson BUT it turned out that the little girl was joining our class!
She was standing right in front of me during the lesson.
And she didnt seem to know and couldnt even execute the Grade FOUR excercises.
Excuse me?! This is a Grade SIX class leh. And we have already completed the first year, taking exam nxt year le wors.
Because of her, we have to do the basics agn & agn, so that she could follow up.
As a result, we were all panting like mad dogs and sweating like....pigs(?). LOL.
For some of the excercises, cher asked her to stand aside and watch coz it's too tough for her.
When the class ended, we overheard the convo between cher and the girl's mum.
And that was when we realised that it's her mum's prob.
She wanted her daughter to join a higher grade class and cher was trying to convince her that she should be joining the Grade four class instead, to stabilize her basic foundation.
The girl doesnt even understand the basic Grade four terms lor.

Okay, the convo went like this:
MUM: How's my girl doing?
CHER: Erm, actually she's ok but she needs to polish up her basics.
MUM: Oh, so she can join the class?
CHER: *Sarcastically* I suggest she join the Grade fours as they will be taking their exams this week and I will start to teach Grade five after that. It will then be much easier for her to follow up. If she joins Grade six, which takes 2 years to complete, she will not be able to follow up coz the class will be taking their exams next year and I have no time to re-teach her the basics. We are rushing to complete the syllabus. And Grade five is very different and more difficult than Grade four. If you miss Grade five, it will be very difficult to cope with Grade six.

---(at this point, cher was quite frustrated.)

MUM: Aiya, like that join Grade six also can right?
CHER: Can... but i think she will not be able to cope. I suggest she join the Grade fours.
MUM: Aiya.........

---Aiyo, i dont want to listen liao. Where got pple so kiasu de? The most i think the girl only completed Grade three lor, based on her performance. Haiz...
