On the eve of a public holiday, suddenly korkor blurted out to me excitedly that on their FB class discussion, there's gonna be a gathering at a bistro among their classmates the next day! What a shocker I was!
I mean, what, 12yo kids, gathering at a high class bistro?? Who's going to pay for the bill? How are they gonna separate out the bill if they are going dutch? Why do they need a gathering when they are still seeing each other in school anyway?? Isn't that sound all fishy and ridiculous??
I posted on FB on my qualms, and apparently, some thinks that it's not a big deal la, youngsters these days lead this kind of life bla bla bla...(can you tell I was rolling my eyes when I read those?)
He kept begging me to let him go, I asked him to ask his dad, his dad told him to ask me! Guess both of us did not know what to say to him! And hubs also felt like a shocking freak like I did!
The next day, we had breakfast then at 11.30, I suggested to take him over and look see look see first.
When we got there, holy cow, lo and behold, a rich classmate's parents booked a whole segment of the place for them with a buffet spread for their little daughter's who is already out from the school, in an international school right now for them. It's so called the class' farewell party, and I saw their class teacher with a retired assistant principal too. They even hired a professional photographer to capture these memorable moments! Really awestruck! The things that rich families do for their kids! Isn't that bewildering? I was speechless.
Well, we left the kids to have some fun with their friends and I scooted off to walk around somewhere else with KT for awhile. They had a great time and thank you to those parents for their generosity.
