      Because his strong subjects are either easier this year or less stringent marking, so the subject that's going to affect him most would be Chinese. And he didn't study hard for it. He gets complacent easily. After the first two papers, he started to lax and suay suay next paper was his weakest subject.

      Though I can't verify that marking was indeed less stringent for science but no smoke without fire so I think better to step down expectations.
      Aiyo.. Yesterday I just asked you to chill right? How come today you are heated up again.. *passing you a huge iceberg*

      Just relax and wait for the outcome..

          DS's weakest subject is Chinese. And he said he didn't do well in compo 😓 so I am preparing myself to accept a low t-score.

                DS doesn't want hold hand with me in public but if we need part ways he'd still give me a quick kiss.


                wow, you still have a kiss...mine is like a 'touch me not'.


                My elder boy would not 'shun' my hand-holding when he was young but my current P4 son is more 'sensitive'. He prefers to cross road without me holding his hand to act he is 'BIG', and I let him be with my eyes opened while on the road (he will be taking public transport next year and so also good to let me observe how he crosses roads).

                Now my elder son is 19. When I cross the road with him, he will hold my hand to escort me across the road.

                When we go shopping, he will hold my hand as if we 'park-tall'. (have a funny 'sour' feeling coz his hand is really so huge when held over mine.)

                I told him I am very pleased with the way he is taking care of me, and he replied he will hold my hand as far as he can before he holds the hand of a girl (he yet to have a girlfriend coz so busy with his sports and work).

                I gave him a smile (but in my heart I really 心花怒放. (but the way he treating me is like as if I am an 'old lady' and so this part ermmm...) Anyway, if he wants to lead, I can always be a follower.

                However, he will only hold my hand and never his dad's hand (men don't get it! heeheehee...).

                Another short account on hand-holding.

                I brought my elder niece (about 25) to China.

                China traffic is really 车水马龙 kind where the only rule on the road is No Rules.

                I held her hand to cross the road.

                She turned to look at me and said, 'I cannot remember when was the last time my mum held my hand.'

                It was a very random unexpected reaction from her (her relationship with her mum has not been good since young coz my sis is ultra strict).

                I told her, 'I think it's time for you to hold your mum's hand instead.'

                Hand-holding seems such a small matter but there's a lot of 感情 inside this small thing. This 感情 needs to build from young.

                What I want to share here is to train (indirectly) your kids to be able to hold your hand (on own accord) as early as possible and this can only be done if you can let go of their hand first...

                PS:
                Usually daughters no problem. My 21 years old daughter holds my hand in the most natural way whenever we go out together.

                  But cheem...how to train?... We used to hold hands everywhere till this year, be it driving, outing etc.. Now he's shy about it. Let me find a chance to cross road with him tomorrow and see what happens 😛
