asian mums more kiasu on academic performance, it happens all over the world. ang mo mums more kiasu on sport and leisure activities. i recently watched a tv programme, it was about mums sending their daughters to do baby dancing competition, they train 4 hours a day, have to put on over extreme glamorous (in fact awkward looking) adult-like dance suit, and have to travel to all places to join the competition (from Ireland to Scotland to England). Ang mo are just like asian but their interest are on sport, appearance, singing, talents and sport, they wish their kids to be famous, look good and earn big bucks, we asian are more academic and career minded, we expect our children to be lawyer, doctor, engineer, business man, etc.
