I was pleasantly informed by the piano school that Coco managed a Merit for her Grade One piano, although like all mothers, I had hoped that she could clinch a Distinction.
The conversation went like this:
Receptionist,"你的女儿考得很好嘞！" (Your daughter did very well for her piano exam!)
Me," ... ... (Is it a Distinction?)"
Receptionist,"她考到Merit." (She got a Merit.)
Me," ... ... (Huh ... like that is 'very well' ah?)"
But I have to give Coco the credit for indeed doing very well for her first piano exam, considering the limited time she had - she started learning her exam pieces way too late, compared to most people who had the luxury of spending just about a year to learn them.
Well done, Coco!

A firm believer of 'you don't have to be rude to put across your message', I love, and welcome, all comments. Do remember to leave your name behind though, it feels kinda weird to start a reply with 'Hi Anonymous'. With that, thanks for stepping into my attic and sharing my thoughts.
