2019 Week 13 Weekly Update

This was another meh week for me. For the past few weeks I have been slightly despondent and unproductive with many of my to-do lists being pushed to the next week for the third week running.

It’s the end of the first quarter of 2019 and spring is in the air in many countries.

I have mixed feelings about this year. On one hand I want the year to end, so I can finally go on a holiday and then I think that the end of the year means the O level exams and then I think again.

Have a wonderful and productive April. It’s April Fools Day today, have you made a fool of anyone yet?

Ending this post with a quote attributed to Mark Twain:

“April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.”

2019 Secondary 4 Week 13 Update

School started and in the beginning of the week, I went to GG’s school for a breakfast session with her principal and school leaders.

It was a light hearted session and GG’s form teacher had only good things to say about her. Though he doesn’t teach her any subject, he has heard about her from her other subject Teachers.

Otherwise the week was the usual one. Pace has slightly increased because schools are trying to finish the syllabus by the end of this term so they have plenty of time for revision.

GG is also gearing up for the Singapore Youth Festival, after which she steps down from her CCA, both in terms of leadership as well as actual CCA.

Hope your Sunday is as good as mine promises to be!

2019 Week 11 Update

Every week these days, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to write this blog post.

It’s a very fine line I am treading between revealing too much and sharing with you all on what is happening with my life.

This week was the usual meh week! I had a couple of events to go to while wearing my freelance hat and those were pretty interesting. This month has a couple more on the cards so this month should be fairly interesting.

After the emotional talk with BB earlier this week, he seems to have turned a corner, but it’s still early days now. I do keep on giving him pep talks so he is not tempted to waste time on his phone and laptop.

GG has been falling sick quite often these days, it’s almost once a month and I am now getting worried about her. I do know it’s the stress of school work plus the competiton they are preparing for which will happen next month that is causing all this sickness.

That’s all from me for this week. Have a wonderful and productive week folks!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 11 Update

This was an emotional week for me. Early in the week, I was so frustated with BB and his inability to do his school work, especially given that this is a crucial year for him, I decided to have a very emotional heart-to-heart talk with him.

I reached out online and found some answers which I used as ammunition to speak with BB. I told him bluntly how his life will turn out to be if he continues in the same vein and shared statistics with him on what kind of income levels he can expect. There was a bit of crying and the offshoot of this session was that he has decided to work hard so he can get into the course of his choice.

This week is the school term break. While BB does not have to go back to school, GG’s school is asking them to come back almost daily, whether for make-up lessons or for CCA practice. She was moaning the other day that holidays is just a misnomer in her case.

Happy Sunday folks and have a wonderful weekend!

2019 Week 10 Weekly Update

This week was a very productive week for me. For the first time this year, I managed to tick off all the items on my ‘To Do’ list and I feel so satisfied.

It was a very hectic week for me, both in terms of work as well as parenting. I have been kept busy this week, which was really good and one that I enjoyed doing. I think I like being busy to being free.

I actually live a very boring life and times like this, wonder what the point of this post is. Even though I have copious notes on what I did this week, I don’t want to be too specific because, since I blog anonymously, I don’t want to reveal too much about myself and show my face to the world. This is something all anon bloggers face I guess. We need to tread a very fine line between revealing information and revealing too much which shows the world and people whom you interact on a daily basis realise it’s them you are talking about on the pages of your blog.

Have a wonderful week folks and hope this week is just as productive as my last week!
