JS Master Piece

Well, it's 11:43am now on 6 July 2011. I suddenly have the urge to put up these master piece of my boy. The photos are actually taken from a corner of our toilet. The puzzle at the top was done by my boy at a very young age, probably 5 years old. He was a big fan of puzzle back then. The bottom picture was painted by him just last week at his age now, 14 years old. I like that picture very much, it reminds me of my two adorable darlings and I think the color scheme is fantastic. So I bought it and got my boy to paint it. He did well, worth putting this up, my boy sure has patience and fine qualities.

Yesterday, it was parent-teacher day at Wesley. When we reached the school hall, JS was already there looking out for us. Wow, he looked good; neat, tidy and smart too. He had a nice hair cut just last Sunday. So TH and I met up with his class teacher, Cik Norita, a Malay that looks fair like a Chinese. She is young, polite and a little shy. She briefed us about JS performance and that he has made some improvement and is one of the outstanding students in the class. I made a request to her that if possible, let him be seated with someone who speaks English in order to help him improve his spoken English. He has been speaking Mandarin with his friends at school and even Cik Norita acknowledged so. Anyway TH and I were both impressed and felt proud of him. Even one of his classmate we met at the corridor, an Indian girl commented that our boy is very smart in class. Ha, it's kind of weird that he's smart but can be so silly at times. Gee, maybe he has my genes, I begin to wonder I was kind of silly too back then and I somehow see myself in him. I remember mom used to tell almost everyone how silly I was when I went to school on exam day with just 1 pencil. Frightening but quite real, hmm.... anyway, he's simple and happy , just like me:)

Last Sunday, my boy hurt my feeling for the very first time. CC bought an ipod and had trouble opening the I-tune account, so he called JS for help. We were having dinner at Hong Kee with in laws when my boy received his call and wanted to text him his account password. I told him to let me know what it is about before texting him the password but to my dismay, he argued with me and insisted that he should send it right away. There and then, he sent it despite my disapproval. Ah Seah and Irene were taken aback too over his disobedience. He has been a very obedient boy of mine all the while and I was truly dissappointed. Though I compliment him for sharing but he must do it discreetly, depending on what kind of things, passwords??? Anyway, this is the first time he is not listening to me and I hope it will be the last too. Perhaps I should just leave him alone and not meddle with his things as he is growing up and he should have his own ideas and thinking. Probably it is only when he does wrong, he learns. Hmm, I wish I can have better control and give him space. Anyway no matter what wrong done, I will always be there for him...............
