Ang Swee Chai Quotes

Mother Made Sure Her Little Kids Were Subjected To A Strict Routine. We Were Given A Timetable Which Covered Our Every Waking Moment, Copies Of Which Were Posted By Our Bedside, In The Sitting Room And In The Kitchen. Story Hour Meant That Mother Would Read Us Novels And Short Stories By Guy De Maupassant, Oscar Wilde And Edmondo De Amicis. Soon We Graduated To Tolstoy, Gogol And Turgenev. She Read Them To Us In Chinese And I Never Realised Until Much Later That The Writers Wrote Them In Different European Languages. Comics Were Absolutely Forbidden And So Were Enid Blyton Adventures And Pop Music ... Lee Cyn And I Soon Went To A Primary School Nearby ... After Mother's Rigorous Timetable, School Became Fun And Easy-going.
