He was on his own .” She added that since Zavier was a young boy, “I deliberately did not get involved with his schoolwork as I wanted him to be responsible for everything he does”. “It is not my job to make sure his homework is done.”“Frantically making sure that he has enough good pens to use during exam, I found out that he only two,” she said, reminding herself to get more pens for her only child on Thursday.

“I used to laugh at parents who were so anxious about PSLE. Sigh… now, I understand,” she said, before adding: “Think I will be worse when he goes army.”
