This is the start of a week to two weeks of stress for the children.
BB’s exams started and he is done with a couple of subjects but the bulk is still to be done, which will happen next week. GG’s exams also started, but after two days of exams, she will have regular school for three days and then this will be followed by the remainder of exams.
The children also got their Hindi exam results (which they had taken on their birthday). The results were predictable – GG passed while BB failed, miserably!
In about an hour my parents land in Singapore and the children are really looking forward to spending time with their grandparents once the exams are over.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
