We came back to Penang in mid of July 2012. And I register you to Phor Tay kindergarten and you said you want to start straight away. I'm happy that you are excited to start your lesson here. It's so much different from the lesson in Shanghai. They write a lot and over here you need to do spelling in English, Malay and Chinese. I'm afraid that you can't catch up so I get a tutor for you.
The tutor teach you only two things. One is Chinese and another one is Malay. I told your tutor that you never write or learn in Malay before but for Chinese you might recognize some character but you never learn to write before. So she load you with lots of writing and that you are writing almost for one hour to two hours to finish your homework.
Around last week of September your school teacher told me that the one whole week you need to go to school and don't miss school. You came back on Monday and told me you are having exam at school. And form what I understand from your amah that the school will notice parents if there is exam, but I did not receive any notice at all. So I was thinking to myself that this time you will sure flunk from that exam.
Then early October you were preparing for your graduation. Last week when I pick you up your teacher told me that you got a trophy for 4th place and I was like huh????? Than your teacher said "Oh she got 4th place in her exam". I was like ah?????
And on the way I drive you back I was beaming with pride and I'm so happy because you just start kindy here for 2 months and you don't even know Malay and writing in Chinese and Malay.
I AM PROUD OF YOU JWOYI!
