2017 Week 1 Update

The first week of 2017 came and went so quickly, I hardly realised it…

Like millions of others across the world, I also made some resolutions, but unlike previous years, these are more lifestyle oriented rather than my usual lose weight etc. I’ve decided to keep a detailed diary this year but will not be doing this on any media. What I am doing so far is typing my day as I go on a word document, so hopefully I will look back at my year and see how it went.

I am also trying to meditate on a daily basis, just five to ten minutes daily and also try to finish my stash of face masks by using one daily. I also decided to delete all the games on my phone except for a couple of word games. I don’t want to waste my time in 2017 playing unneeded games.

I also started getting involved in BB & GG’s school PSG more this year. I become involved in the exco committee in both schools and started helping out more this year.

On the job front, things are at status quo, I’ve not been offered any position yet, but I have a couple of interviews scheduled for this week, both at the same location and at a place I have been trying to get into for the past 10 years. Let’s see if 2017 brings me luck…

Have a great week folks!!

2017 Secondary 2 Week 1 Update

School started on 3rd January for children across Singapore. GG was super excited to start school, while BB was ambivalent about it. This year is a difficult year for them as this year they have to choose their subjects they want to specialise in for their O levels. So getting good marks, especially if you want to choose popular subjects is a must.

GG’s school timing has extended by almost an hour most days while BB’s remains the same. Secondary schools in Singapore end around 12:30 – 12:45 pm on Fridays to allow the Muslim teachers and students to go for their Friday prayers. If they have any activity on Friday, it will usually start around 2:30 – 3 pm. This allows the Muslims to go for prayers and also eat lunch.

School work has started for both and so have homework too. I’ve told BB that he should not be scolded by his teachers for anything this year and also do well in school. GG is already mature for her age, it’s just BB I need to focus on this year to make sure he does well enough to get the subjects of his choice for next year. I know he will be completely miserable if he does not get Science as he is set on becoming an aeronautical engineer.
