While waiting at the gate, listening to other Si-Lai like me chit-chatting.

One said, “Before school opens, I brought my girl to shopping center to practise using public phone. I taught her how to put in coins and make a call. In the school canteen, there are a few public phones. So just in case of any emergency, I told my girl to use the public phone to call me.”

“Ya, I told my son the same thing. He said, ‘why don’t you give me a handphone to school?’.” another Si-Lai added + roll-eyed.

Cool ! Lesson learnt: Ya, it’s good to train the girls to be resourceful when come to emergency.

Will do that this weekend.
