The other princess in my life

This is happy Michelle - as usual. The world is a friendly place where everyone is her friend. She loves and equates school to the number of pals she can make there. Her form teacher, Mr Tom Flannagan likes her plenty. Calls her the little scholar becos she has no problem absolutely with her math (she finds them too slow), science (her favourite becos they always have experiments), arts (up her alley exactly) and PE (brings out the best in her fun self). The only hiccup she expriences is chinese. She complains that the chinese teacher speaks funny. I think she means the heavy beijing accent. She says the teacher keeps curling her tongue. She begs me to let her go to the slower class which is doing the S'pore Pr 3 syllabus. Her argument was that she can't catch up with them since they are already almost half way through by the time she is on board. Of course you know where I keep her.
Michelle declared that she is the 2nd most popular girl in class after her best friend, Michelle Jong. She says everyone wants to be in the group. She has been lobbying for her friends to come over to play after school. So far no success. I guess its becos the school finished almost at 4 everyday and it is dark by that time (winter) and the traffic is terrific.
