天不怕，地不怕，只怕他爸爸！

I started sending En en to Berries (Bai Li Guo), as I heard that they are very good. It is a Chinese Enrichment Centre for all levels , starting from N1. They can be quite expensive, but I think my kids will learn a lot there. I attended one lesson (not willingly) with Ryan. It was his first trial lesson there, I thought I could leave him alone. I think too highly of him..haha. He did not want to go in and held on to me tightly. So in the end, I had to go in with him, and had no chance to sneak out. Oh yes, I did, towards the end when they go to another room for story telling, I slowed down and let them go in first. He was very much settled, so I left him alone.

Yesterday was not his first lesson, but he cried loudly in the room. I think it was because it was a different time slot, so the classroom and teachers were not the same. He was prepared to go into his 'old' classroom ! I forgot to pre-empt him that it will be a different classroom and different teacher. Ops!  Hopefully the next lesson, he will perform better. I have not registered him yet. I thought I want to monitor him a few more times before I really pay the full term's course fees. So for now, I pay trial lesson, each time he attends. But I cannot do that for long. I need to make up my mind by next Thursday as it will be his 3rd trial lesson.

Mummy thought this boy 天不怕，地不怕，只怕他爸爸！How would I expect him to cry in a new class, new teachers and new classmates!

Last week, when I went to fetch him, he actually took the initiative to say bye bye to his last year's form teacher who is also the centre supervisor. I thought it was unusual. This teacher was always complaining about his behaviour last year. He was really mischievous last year. This year, he was better, but being a BOY, of course, he still misbehaves at times. When he does that, and it is serious, the supervisor will still inform us. So she was not really one of his favourite teachers. Therefore I was surprised that he said bye bye to her! Usually, he will be so eager to run off once he puts on his shoes.

It was then that Jasmine, the supervisor told me what happened at the earlier part of the day. The teachers brought them outdoor for lantern walk and the kids were instructed to wash their hands and legs immediately when they go back to the centre. But, being him, Ryan went to touch the toys and forgot to wash himself. So his favourite teacher, teacher Sabrina, reprimanded him and told the supervisor about it.

That's not the end of the story.. he hilarious part is... he actually went to the supervisor (Jasmine, whom he knows will tell papa about him being naughty in school) and asks her " Today, you work until 7 ?"

I tried very hard not to laugh when teacher Jasmine was telling me this. I cannot imagine he actually thought of that ! Everyday, only 1 or 2 teachers will be on duty to stay till 7pm. If Jasmine is on duty that day, it means that she will have a chance to see Papa and will definitely tell him what happened. So he was worried about that and had the cheek to go to Jasmine to ask if she works till 7pm that day.

Ryan Lee ah Ryan Lee... that's why mummy always think that you  天不怕，地不怕，只怕你爸爸！
