At Home This Weekend?

Justin brought back the books for the first semester, and we were informed that he’s going to sit for exams next week. O.o My first thought was he’s going to fail his Thai language.
I’m sorry ya boy? When you’re reading this next time, it’s not that mommy don’t have the confidence in you as I know that you do well for counting and English for your age, but then you have only learned Thai for 3 months, so it’s going to be tougher. Anyway, I don’t mind about his score, and I don’t think he knows much about exams.

Revising his Thai, and I know nothing about the Thai consonants. I better dig out hubby’s CD later.
I guess we will stay in this weekend as hubby’s out for golfing today, and we don’t have any particular plan tomorrow. We might revise Thai with Justin, if he’s willing to. He sat for his first exam a few months ago, before leaving for Bangkok. Hubby and I were away in Bangkok, so my mom revised with him. She said he didn’t really want to revise mostly, but he did well in the test. At that time, I thought he would get “red mark” for his Chinese, but he didn’t. LOL! So, I guess we just have to trust our kids and let them learn at their own pace. If they do well, we “celebrate” and praise them. If not, just encourage and see if they are willing to get more help in their work. Some times, I do wonder if I should let them have Thai tuition, but I guess it’s not really necessary.
Hubby still plans to send them to international school after a year or 2. So, they will go back to English as the main medium and Thai will be an extra subject. As long as they can read and write Thai, even if just a little, it’s more than enough.
But as for Chinese, we will work on that next time. They enjoy reading (I mean we read and they look at pictures) those Chinese books we bought on our previous trip back, so I will get more next time when we go back.
BTW, some of you might be worrying about the safety in Bangkok, but seriously, it’s just the politic which is very chaotic, but most of our lives are not affected. It’s similar to the condition in Malaysia, like itu 916 mau berlaku tapi belum and Bodohwi masih berkuasa tapi Anwar mau “rampas” kuasa bla bla bla. But life is still normal there right?
Anyway, maybe we will just go shopping, as usual. I need to check out a humidifier and some baking stuffs. Some of the cookie cutters from NST arrived, so I better make good use of them.

it’s really no joke to learn a foreign language from scratch so it’s normal if justin don’t do well. since it’s not a very impt language, able to read & write are already good enuf…..
