Meimei's Pri 1 ballet exam

This was her after the trial. She seemed pretty composed during the trial, which we were allowed to watch and that only comes once a year, so we had better enjoy that!

As the exam was drawing near, we, the moms or dads (which are rare to spot hanging around waiting for the girls) were the most ker-nian. There were extra classes and extra hours to further prep the girls for their exam day and on the last day of practice, we were made to wait for about 2 hours! Some were saying they hadn't have their dinner yet, some ranting oh boy, their bedtime would surely be midnight, what with the journey and the homework all not completed yet.

As for me, I really am thinking of persuading her to quit the ballet class and just focus on the rhythmic gymnastics. She is all teary-eyed and so sad-looking whenever I bring this up and would plead with me to let her stay on to the next grade. Grr... I can't be continuing like this, chauffeuring her around like a mad duck all the time, can I? And furthermore, the fees are so sky high, what with the extra add-ons like costumes, socks, shoes, this and that. This hobby is SO EXPENSIVE!

Girls are high maintenance!
