For more than a month now, Renee hasn't had any violin lesson since her grading exam and I hadn't been able to contact her teacher (whom was supposedly to be back from her honeymoon yesterday) today - 'invalid number' indicated, huh?...
During the week whilst we were at my FIL's wake, I still managed to communicate with her via sms-es and she had informed me that although Renee had not got a Distinction as they've expected, she's graded Merit, :).
The week after, since Renee's had the fall and as her wedding's very near, I told her that we might just as well resume the lessons upon her return. She then suggested Tuesday, which is today, but when I reminded her that our lessons are always on Wednesdays, she didn't reply... However, before her suggestion, she'd told me that Renee's got a score of 126(without any further explanation) but when I offered to go pick the certification from her, she said that she'd only be back home late literally every night and offered to pass it to us instead, via our letterbox - which, didn't happen, haiz...
After trying to contact her(phoned even her home, sms-ed) in vain but needing to find out what's happening, I was left with no choice but to contact Ms Tan(the piano accompaniment), to check if Ms Mok has contacted/arranged with her any lessons this week. Sadly, Ms Tan replied that she's only in contact with her during exam period but she asked after Renee. I briefly informed her of Renee's fall + her results and she was sooo nice to help us understand better - here's part of her message : "Merit is the second best level. But she is very very close to a distinction.........". Boy, aren't we supposed to be getting such explanation from her teacher? All the while, I've been wondering what does the score represent? If only I could have got hold of the cert earlier, then we might have known(or even guessed) how her score stands against the total, haiz('cos Ms Mok did mention before, that there will be remarks on the result slip/certifcation).
Anyway, I hope the teacher would at least call me tomorrow about her lesson(s) 'cos now I really wish to get hold of the cert ASAP!
