September 11, 2010 – Damoen Saduak Floating Market, Bangkok, Thailand

Did your teacher in elementary asked you to have your parents sign your failed quizzes? Before I asked my parents, I should make an excuse first: “None of my classmate got it passed. The quiz was really difficult.”

But Mame only told me: “You don’t have to be like your classmates. If they all failed, you still have to have a passing grade.”

So, I guess, I have always live by that principle, “…but different”.
