She Did Us Proud

My granddaughter has done us proud.

Last week, she attended an interschool science camp and together with two of her classmates, emerged as overall champs in their category.

Here is a picture of her with her trophy and certificate after we got home.

This evening her piano teacher came with good news for her and her brother Stephen. Both of them have passed their grade V in pianoforte.

I hadn't realised that both of them were sitting for grade V examination until we took them to the venue to sit for the exam. Children being children, they did not spend much time practising on the piano, preferring to chat with their friends on Facebook or watching their favorite manga DVDs. Considering the scant attention they paid to their music pieces, it is good that they passed.

These two grandchildren really light up our lives.Their voices bring life to an otherwise still and quiet house. the silence broken only by the occasional barking of the dogs and the chirping of the birds in the garden when both of them are away at school.
