At the recommendation of Wei's chess teacher, we enrolled Wei in a national chess tournament, at Cititel Midvalley. As Wei is a year-end child, he could still participate in the Under 10 category. J took Wei to Cititel at 9am and left him there with the chess teacher and picked him up at 5pm.
There were 136 participants including kids from Singapore and Iran. Wei was seeded somewhere above the halfway mark. Even though it was nothing to shout about, I am still a very proud mom.
For lunch we gave Wei RM20, hoping that the chess teacher would take the kids to lunch. It turned out that he was too busy helping out at the tournament, and 4 boys went to lunch together at McDonald's, with one of the boys leading the way. That boy was CH; his mom and aunt went to Gardens for shopping and they didn't show up in time for lunch. So CH had no money. So he led the way to McDonald's, ordered 2 lunch sets for Wei and himself, and Wei paid for lunch ;-)
