PSLE oral exams started today.
Last night, Little TX came to me and said “Mommy, we need to ensure that TY is in a iron crisp uniform tomorrow. Since my school uniform are new, what about taking out my name tag and sewing her name tag onto my uniform?”. That was exactly what I had intended to do if TY doesn’t have a good enough uniform.
TX examined all of TY’s uniform and found one that is presentable. However, she transferred one of her school belt to TY’s pinafore. Then she took out the iron and ironing board because she wanted to iron the school uniform again. She said that she wanted to do it as a form of encouragement to her elder sister and she wanted her elder sister to feel proud of herself, that everything has been done for her. There is also nothing for her to be worried about so that she can be at her most relaxed state. She simply wants her elder sis to feel good. Wow!
TY had her Chinese Oral this morning. TX insisted of going along. We waited for nearly 4 hours before TY came out. In the midst of waiting, I started to get worried. Worried that TY would get tongue-tied during the session, as she always does when she speaks Mandarin. I was worried that she would break down since she was taking such a long time. TX consoled me and analyzed TY’s character to me. I must say that TX does understand TY well.
Tonight, TY couldn’t get to sleep. When I came out of the shower, TX was preparing essential oil in the burner for TY so as to help TY to fall asleep.
And I forgot to add something. TX had been washing TY’s water bottle and she sets the alarm clock every night. She just wants to make sure that TY is well-equipped for her PSLE oral exam.
TX may be easily irritable and may often snap at TY. But she definitely loves her sister. Without fail, she will go along for TY’s English Oral exam tomorrow and wait till she is out of the exam hall.
Sisterly love.
