SINGAPORE - In his daughter's work ethic, David Chua had seen the signs.
He had seen kids at a badminton class cut short their 45-minute cool-down and saunter off after 10 minutes but Grace, a primary school pupil then, would keep going till the finish. He had seen her finish two practice sessions some days and still keep training.
