ystd i was teaching a 3 year old violin. she's not a singaporean, but more of a westerner i guess. she has brown skin and thick curly black hair. her mom always sit by the side when i am teaching her. she resembles her mom.
anw, she wasn't a kid who is easy to teach. she has very short attention span.(tat's normal for a 3 year old i guess)
she was not holding the bow(the stick u used to play the violin) properly ystd as usual,and her mom suddenly threw a random statement:
"Rina, you are not holding the bow correctly. Where's your thumb supposed to be? Your thumb must be a good little thumb. Mommy has already told you tat you must be clever and strong to play the violin. Look at teacher, although she is slim but she is strong!
(aww.. Hahaa.. i'm strong?)
continuation of the dialogue: Teacher is very healthy, she doesn't eat junk food. Tat's why she is so slim, right teacher?" she asked.
Me: hmmm..y-yea..*smile (like real, i ate a lot of junk food! but i just can't gain weight no matter how i tried! anw i haf to lie to her mom as i can see tat her mom jus wan to educate her child not to eat junk food)
Her mom: No sweets too right? Teacher?
Me: (looking at the child,Rina) Yea, no sweets!

Haha the whole conversation is so funny la, so ironic..anw i like the mom alot! I think she is a great mom who cares alot abt her child, and she goes a far way out to educate her child. She makes sure Rina greets me and thank me after the lesson, and even ask her to hug me goodbye!
Its so cute and heartwarming! She's only up to my thigh length though..
Being a teacher is quite rewarding i guess..:)
