working hard

one of my di sent me a message at 11.30pm. I didn't expect him to reply me when I replied his message at 1.30 am. he was still studying and trying to finish his work. No wonder his hardwork paid off. full marks for test. how much he has matured. he would show off to me in sec 2 when he barely pass a test, and would wax lyrical about every single time he studied. now that he is mugging till the wee hours, he brush it off as nothing. when his teacher told me how hard working he is, he brush it off as nothing. he didn't even tell me he got full marks - and said that he was just lucky when i congratulated him. :D

another di also. never fail to work till 12+ am everyday, and still insist on having tuition even though he had a long week and reded eyes. and almost perfect score for his test too! 

i really wish they get an o'level result that is better that what they targeted for. they deserve it.

strangely, i'm find it hard to verbalise it to them - how they have made me more proud of them. not just because of their results, but how much they have grown and changed. luckily i could put it in words via sms. if not i'll become the stereotypical asian dad again.
