Before you all start niao-ing me ....
here's a basic convo with my parents

"What? Only _ _? Do you know how lousy is that?"
"ya"
"Mathematics used to be your strongest subject, and you always seemed to be careless since Primary One, ok maybe not during PSLE"
"But PSLE I had the chance to check and double check and triple check. But in this mathematics test it is impossible... as by the time I finished I only had enough time to breathe and then it is up"
"I understand, but at least you can do better than _ _?"
"Ya, I can..."
"See, told you... your late night revision made you a gong and black out during the examination. No wonder careless. Next time NO more late nights for you!"

so ...
high expectations?
how ?
