Depressing news: all 4 schools need to ballot for children stay within 1km.

I will let this topic cool for a while, simmers in, then decide what to do with it.

The shortest entry ever, but I really have no much to say.

Ok, maybe just add a bit color since I am still not sleepy after finishing design the flyer for a charity event that our RC is organising.

On the way back, Han Jin popped up another Chinese idiom learnt from school: 为非作歹(to commit all sorts of crimes). Then he asked me what is the meaning. I replyed 'I don't know' in the hope that he would suggest the answer.

'How come you don't know? 你是中国人neh?'

Daddy asked: '妈妈是中国人，你呢？'
HJ: I'm Singaporean. 
Me: 你也是中国人。
He smiled sheepily into Daddy's chest.

Thanks to the school's education. My son now thinks that he is Singaporean, though by nationality he is. But I indeed want him to be proud of his origin and rich culture comes with it.

孩子的身份认知有点混乱，特别是在这个华人社会。我希望他们能以有中国的根源而谦虚地自豪，并且继承传统文化。
