Two weeks ago, I finally broke the news.
While driving my boys to school.
I : Remember our discussion about UK Relocation?
Eb/YB : Yes.
I : Mum & I have decided we're to relocate back to UK.
How do you boys feel?
EB : Kind of Sad.
I : Why?
EB : We just settled in our new school.
We're not in war times, why do we've to move?
I : Because of a Better Future.
Better Opportunity for our Family Business.
And more importantly,
Better Opportunity for you two, my boys.
EB : When will we be leaving?
I : At the end of this term.
EB : Oh, that's O.K. then.
I thought I'd to leave the school now.
I : What about you, how do you feel?
YB : I feel Sad - but only a little bit.
I also feel very Excited.
I : Excited?
YB : Yes. Because I've never been there before.
There could be Surprises.
I : Surprises? Pleasant or Nasty?
YB : I think it should be mainly Pleasant Surprises.
I : Boys, let me remind you two this,
Look beyond today - in 3-5 year time,
Hopefully, you'll understand why I'm doing this today.

Deal
Planning a trip to HK.
Rang a few travel agents.
Thought got the best deal with Cathay Pacific.
Then, found the Real best flight deal on net.
A saving of $1,700 with a different airline.
But had to persuade our boys 1st.
I : We could save $1,700 if we change airlines.
YB : Wah! That's a lot!
EB : But, Dad won't give them all to us.
I : Singapore Airline is an Excellent airline.
Won many awards for Customer Services.
Its airport is voted the Best.
YB : But, we always fly Cathay Pacific.
It's Safer, got Instant Noodles, and.....
I like its computer games!
I : What about if I offer each of you.....
A Cash Incentive of A$200?
That could buy you a lot of toys in HK!
Boys having a discussion.
Mum came in.
Not happy about my Offer.
Told the boys the Deal was off.
Mum : We're to fly with Singapore Airline.
A$200 is too much. HK$100 for each.
+ a Buffet Lunch at a HK Hotel.
This is Final.

Boy/Girl Friend
About 6 weeks ago, I'd a chat with my boys.
While driving them to schools.
I asked my Younger Boy 1st.
I : Why do think people need a boy/girl friend?
YB : They don't. Boy can play with boys.
Girl can play with girls.
I : Just assuming one has to have a boy/girl friend.
When do you think they'd have one?
YB : When they're Sensible.
("Wah, that's a Great Answer!" so I thought.
One should be Mature enough 1st)
I : Sensible?
YB : Yes, Sensible - if they know how to deal with money.
I : Why?
YB : Because going out needs & spend money.
I : What about you?
What do you think?
EB : Well, they've to be Mature enough.
I : Mature enough? What do you mean?
EB : Only do the Right Things.
Don't do the Wrong Things.
I : What do you mean?
EB : You know what I mean...
I : I don't know (Can't stop laughing!)
EB : Yes, you know!!

Courage
Found something new with my Elder Boy.
Had to have a chat with him.
I : Who decided the seating in your classroom?
EB : We could chose to sit with anyone we like.
I : So, there could be 2 or 3 or even 4 sit together?
EB : Yes.
I : So, why do you sit Alone?
Is it by Choice or Circumstance?
EB : I decided myself.
I : Why? Do you not want to sit with others?
EB : No, I prefer sitting Alone.
Because I can see better.
(His seat is now right at the centre of classroom)
EB : And also I can Learn Better.
I : What do you mean?
EB : Because others tend to talk when sitting together.
I : That's True. I'm Proud of you - you're Brave.
Because some may NOT have the Courage to do it.
Even though they want to!
I : Proud also because you know what your Duty is.
You're to Learn at school.
EB : Yes, I can talk & play with them at breaks.
I : Do you NOT worry you may single out yourself?
And becoming a Target of Bullying?
EB : No. I'm NOT worried.
They all know that I've friends, I'm Confident.
And I just want to Concentrate during lessons.
(A few days later, A Top student at his school,
Also moved away from a group & sat Alone)
