Some encouraging results

This week, Kiki could play the violin to the tune of "Twinkle, twinkle, little star", albeit still brash and calls for lots of polishing, we are very delighted there's a breakthrough after many fortnights of tears.
The resistance she had stemmed from the inability to play the verses in sequence and it took a lot of encouragement in order to press on. Because I'm having a break from school the past two weeks, I made a point to practise with her for 10 minutes a night, and this is how it finally bore fruits.

Today, I received another encouraging news, I've scored a distinction for one of my essays! (82 marks)
Well, this module is one of the easiest one, I suppose.... nevertheless, I am very glad that my hard work paid off. Here's my lecturer's comments:-

Feedback:General Comments

An essay which is to a very high academic standard - excellent engagement with theory and an good level of academic rigour. Good writing style. There are one or two small gaps - such as motivation could have been developed further.

It's curious why you termed Branson as Dr. Jekyll and O'Leary as Mr. Hyde as this is labelling them unjustly and pigeon-holes them as if one is good and the other bad.

Excellent work, however - well done!.

  1. Congratulations. Bravo. A1 is playing the piano but to his own tune while singing. Over here, kids start learning music at around 5. I wonder if I have the motivation to teach him piano. And great job to the essay. Easy subject you thought but it is amazing how you can juggle work, family life and studies in stressful Singapore. Kudos.
