Worst news to bring ref the dreaded P1 registration

Yi Xuan’s mummy will not be reading this blog; she’s not an internet addict.

But gradually unnoticeably, over the last 3 years, despite the differences in educational background, career proficiency etc, our families had gotten to know each other pretty well, as we shared similar parenting beliefs and styles.

Yi Xuan had also been a true friend to Chelsea, and by that, Mummy Eliz meant respect, no intentional hurtful words etc.

In the current hectic city life, many kids, especially those who did not enjoy a secure attached relationship to a pivotal parenting figure, probably due to their undeniable feeling of insecurity, tend to like hurting others verbally in order to gain some sense of supremacy.

If the above paragraph makes no sense to you, it’s some weird kind of logic that is in force and in most instances, the kid might not be even aware of it.

So, when Mummy Eliz had to help Yi Xuan’s Mummy attend the Phase 2B balloting, and to bring the dreaded news to her, it’s with a heavy heart.

Come next year, despite best efforts, Yi Xuan would not be attending the same Primary School as Chelsea, that’s really bad news. Probably it’s for some reasons that we cannot comprehend yet, but it’s a bitter pill to swallow.
