Got distinction on 2nd erhu exam. Out of stylistic requirements perhaps, the examiner's remarks on the score sheet were all of a critical nature. That bothered mum extremely, so interrogated me over phone today about why did I pause, where did I pause, why was the handling of the music slightly unnatural, and which part was that, and a bunch of I-told-you-to's and why-didn't-you's. I tried to remind her that since I got distinction, there must have been something non-disastrous about my playing that the examiner didn't note down in writing. Of course that didn't work; mum emphasized that I must practise extra hard from now on.
The SAB toured our lab this afternoon. And one of the members turned out to be the professor from Cornell under whom I took a class on intro to bioprocess engineering. I remember well the wobbly way he walks. He shook my hand and said "Nice to see you again" but probably didn't remember who I am.

Congratulations on your performance in your erhu exam. Every Mom some how wants to be possessive and its just the way of showing it, some times too much for the children to bear. But we have got no way, but to accept it and go on.
dun be too sensitive ba.
I guess she is behaving some what like a singaporean parent.
For a singaporean parent, when the kid get 95 marks.
The parent will not praise the kid.
In fact, the parent will ask "where did u lose your five marks??"
