Today, Hui Xian’s brother, Jia Ming came all the way from Kluang to teach us how to make a water rocket. He’s a sociable boy with tons of science knowledge in his skull. They are very fun (and very noisy) to be with. I can only imagine how their home operates…
At about 2pm, we brought him to lunch and then headed off to buy the materials needed to make the water rocket. In the course of the project, I still can’t believe that we made 4 trips to get the things that we forgot to buy! OMG!!!
Nonetheless, I had the chance to play with the drill, participate in the making of the rocket, enjoy the team chemistry during the assembly, listen to firsthand experiences of their school days and get wet. They led me into their world of science. I had always dreamt what would happen if I chose the science stream instead of the commerce stream. Today, they gave me a glimpse of that dream. I am very thankful that Jia Ming came. These two siblings truly are a joy to be with. I hope that he enjoyed this trip as much as I enjoyed his company. I’m sure that these two will make great teachers and wish Jia Ming all the best in his future studies.
