2017 Week 22 Update

The week started off on a very good note for me. It’s something I don’t want to share as yet, but once things get finalised, I will definitely share it here! Suffice to say, I have been quite happy this week.

We also finalised our holiday later this week. We’re going to one of our neighbours, to a place, I honestly never saw myself going for a  holiday. So more posts on the holiday to look forward to.

The last week also seemed to go quite fast and in what seemed like the blink of an eye we’re almost halfway through 2017!

I’m really looking forward to this break, so more next week when I check in!

Have a wonderful week people!

Secondary 2 Week 22 Update

This was week one of the June school holidays, but both BB & GG had to go to school, though mostly on different days.

BB had a space camp and his Math Olympiad test. The space camp which was a one day camp at the Science Centre was not something he really enjoyed since it focused mainly on the robotics part of space travel. He is not a big fan of robotics, preferring the actual aviation related topics to that, so he did not come home impressed. He has another space camp this week, this one a two-day camp where I am guessing they will also focus on the aviation part of space travel. They are also going to have a NASA engineer to come and talk to the students, so I do know that this is something BB is looking forward to!

The Maths Olympiad test was ok, according to BB. Some of the questions were very easy and some were difficult that he could not even attempt. The other days, he just spent at home, playing on his phone and the laptop, though I did make him do some of his holiday homework and revise some concepts.

GG had English Oral exams on one day. She spent more time travelling to school and back than she did in school that day! This was because her roll number in class is one and this meant that she was out of the exam in 15 minutes! She also had choir practice for three days. Their choir is putting together a villain-themed song and dance routine to a k-pop song. The choir has become an all-girl choir now that the two boys who were there graduated. On the last day, she came home with a crepe bandage on her leg because of the excessive dancing!

This was week one, there are still three more weeks to go and I wonder how this holiday will pan out! Have a wonderful Sunday…..

2017 Week 19 Update

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and hope all you mums had a great time with your loved ones!

We took S’ mum and aunt out for a nice family dinner last night and it was an enjoyable evening spent chatting and spending time with family.

GG hand-made a very sweet Mothers Day card for me and was also the first one to wish me yesterday. BB, on the other hand, completely forgot about the day and only wished me after being prompted!

Other than that, the week was a usual ho-hum week, with nothing much happening. The children were at home a few days and as it is usual when they are at home, I hardly got anything done. School starts again on their regular schedule today for the next two weeks before they break for their mid-year holidays.

Have an awesome week folks!

2017 Week 18 Update

In what seems like forever, I didn’t update this space on time. Well, there’s not much to share this week that perhaps I didn’t feel the need to do this weekly update!

I had quite a few weird dreams this week, some which didn’t make any sense at all to me, one in which I dreamt of a lady I know who recently passed away (I was not thinking of her at all in the days preceding the dream, which is what makes it quite weird).

Anyway, this is a new week and may this week be better than the previous week! Enjoy your Monday (no blues I hope)…..

2017 Week 17 Update

This week marked one year of me being unemployed! I was quite down this week without really knowing why and when I realised the date, I realised the reason for my depression! I don’t know whether to carry on with this or just give in and do something else!

Over the weekend, we went to my sister-in-law’s son’s first birthday. On the morning, I messaged her to wish the little boy and also asked if she needed any help in setting up her home and decorating. She replied she had not brought anything to decorate! So anyway, it was a good time talking to some people we don’t see often, but she had not invited many people, less than 20, including family!

I don’t want to be so negative here in this space, so unless I am gainfully employed, I have decided not to write about this anymore. My life is fairly boring, being at home and every day follows the same pattern. I can go days without even heading out of the door!

I’m going to stop this sob-fest right now. Today is the first of May, so may this month bring you happiness and joy!
