Of being Star Student of the Year

While helping her with her Chinese homework one day, she told me her Chinese teacher praised her for speaking good Mandarin. Then she said,
Yiu Yiu: Mummy, this year I don’t want to get “Best Handwriting” again.
Mummy (teasing her): Get the “Star Student” lar.
Yiu Yiu: I cannot get the “Star Student” one.
Mummy (puzzled): Why?
Yiu Yiu (smiling cheekily): Because I’m too talkative.
Mummy was ROTFL. Not that mummy doesn’t know, girl!
