2018 Week 18 Update

I think I went through this week in a haze. I can’t really think of anything that really happened this week and we’re on to a new week already.

The days these days just seem to move as slow as molasses, but at the same time, by the time the weekend comes by, I feel like I have accomplished nothing.

The whole week was busy with chasing the children, especially BB to study and not spend time on his phone all the time.

Exams finish this week and I have something lined up for the weekend (I will write more after it’s done, if ever) and Sunday is also Mother’s Day in our part of the world.

Have a wonderful week everyone…

It’s exams week in our home so not much to update except exam related stuff.

Both are almost at the 50% of exams as of today and they have another four days of exams to go which end later in the week. The week will end with a holiday for both for marking so we’ll start to know the results when school starts again on 14 May.

As for exams, with the exception of a couple of subjects, both GG & BB say they have done reasonably well. As usual, BB has made some careless mistakes (I am still waiting for an exam where he manages to complete an exam without these mistakes). I’ll know for sure when the papers come back after being corrected.

Hope you’ve had a good weekend so far!

2018 Week 17 Update

Yesterday morning, almost as soon as we woke up, we got news that S’ uncle who was hospitalised passed away in the hospital. This uncle had been sick for a while now and this latest attack of pneumonia and heart failure made him so weak and unresponsive that his body gave up the fight! It was chaotic, to say the least, and I am super exhausted with everything!

For a long time now, I had been suffering from a bout of a very localised eczema and it was so bad that I was literally spamming cream every 30 minutes to get some relief. I had been prescribed some steroid cream a couple of months back but didn’t want to continue to take them for long. Last week, my primary care physician whom I see for my diabetes management asked me to see another doctor in the same practice who is also a qualified dermatologist and who finally gave me some creams and antihistamines which made a huge difference to my condition. I can finally see the end of the tunnel…

Tomorrow is a public holiday here in Singapore on account of Labour Day and I for one, am looking forward to sleeping in. Today is also the last day of April and this marks two years of unemployment!

Another week has gone by and we’re at the last week of April.

I have been in a bit of a funk this week and it’s taken me almost the whole week to come out of it. But I am fine now, hopefully, this feeling of wellness lasts longer this time around.

Othe than planning our June holidays, I’ve done nothing much this week. We’re planning a driving holiday to Malaysia.

Have a wonderful week folks!

Tis the season for mid-year exams, la…la…la

GG’s school starts their mid-year exams at the end of this week and BB’s school starts next week. Both their exams end on the same day and they have a longish weekend for paper marking and then it will be results time!

I have been behind BB a lot these days because he has become very lax with regard to his school work. As I write this post, both are busy doing timed papers. I really hope he does enough to do decently in his exams. I’ve given him multiple pep talks and am so frustrated that all my talks seem to go in from one year and get out from the other year without spending time in his brain.

GG, on the other hand, is more focused on her work. She knows what subjects she is weak in and spends more time on those.

Ok, got to go and check on them. Hope you have been having a fantastic Sunday so far!
