i was kinda smart.. my school had so many students that they had to split us into 2 sessions.. so there were 2 sessions for those in standard 1 to 3, and one class had about 40 students (i think).
why am i talking about this? i don't know.. i read Mizzy's blog and it dawned to me. I always achieved the top three in school up till standard 6.. I was number 1 among the whole batch of students when I was standard 2, standard 3 and maybe another one but i can't recall. For the rest, it was always the top 3 in class if not the among whole batch of God-knows how many students... on top of that I was always best in something.. sometimes it was English sometimes Malay and others (maybe not sports though).
However, my parents rarely attended my prize-giving ceremony nor did they ever celebrated my achievements.. Looking at Mizzy and Deli celebrating their children, i could not help but feeling a bit envious.
Yup, it's been so long but you can never forget. It was always a simple 'Good, you've done well' or sometimes nothing at all because it was always expected of me to be the best. And I was always sick when I was younger, so to have gotten good grades really surprised a lot of people.
I pray that when both of us become parents, we shall always remember to appreciate the efforts of our lil kiddies. The littlest celebrations do mean a lot to the young ones.. it should not necessarily involve money. Just being with them can make them feel like their on top of the World!

Yana,
you guys will be good parents. In fact every parent is good in his/her own way.
Then again, even great parents make mistakes. We can only hope and pray that we can make less of them and not repeat that of our parents.
