Ensuite: Calibrated Childhood #01
In life, there are endless possibilities and many roads to take, and the choice is always us to make. Yet one thing��s for sure: you cannot choose your parents, like it or just suck thumb lor.
Tumblr media
You see, some people take their parents for granted, they had the perfect childhood, born in wholesome families, like the ones you see on the screen. But life can never be perfect, sin creeps in, expectations set. And this was very true for Aden Lim, who had his whole childhood planned out for him, and his mother the conductress who could possibly orchestrated the series of depressing events...
To be fair, they always say mother knows best, and like any other typical asian tiger mum in the pre-millennial decade, children were like trophies to them. Behind a 状元 (zhuang-yuan) lies a 孟母.
zhuangyuan (simplified Chinese: 状元; traditional Chinese: 狀元; pinyin: zhuàngyuan), variously translated into English as principal graduate, primus, or optimus,[1] was the title given to the scholar who achieved the highest score on highest level of the Chinese imperial examinations.[2]
Mother of Mencius' (some acclaimed Chinese philospher cf Confucius )(Chinese: 孟母; pinyin: Mèng Mǔ) 
Let’s get back to the story. Anyways, you must know Aden Lim, in comparison to most 90′s SG kids, he probably had so many things to absorb around him, so many ‘opportunities’ paved for him. What a privilege, you must say, with privilege comes sacrifice - cannings, high expectations, supervised tutelage from the matron of the house. His dear sister, Julie Lim, only 20 months younger, probably had it slightly better, at least she did not bear the burden of the matron’s expectations.

1° episode n’est pas fini, soyez-vous patient dans votre affliction,  Adieu pour maintenant.
Cordialement,  Deschiamo
