It's amazing how a child of 4 to 5 years can out-wit a Mother of Four!
Ying Chun was diligently doing her Bahasa homework and showing me the answers to her Penjodoh Bilangan [i.e. compound nouns in bahasa]. I was well-impressed with how much she has improved and absorbed in the last four months since joining the new kindie. Without any guidance from me, she managed to answer all the questions correctly. Praising her efforts, i said "Wow, so clever, ah?!"
Her immediate response: "Of course, lah! All go inside my brain oledi wat!"
I was left speechless....
Even Swee Rong's Mandarin has improved tremendously, both the oral and the written. She can recognise between 30-50 characters without any difficulty.
Being the well-known "banana" that i am, i am too embarrassed to say much more...other than i will never go short of interpreters!
