Though our holiday only starts at the end of next week, we are already in holiday mode!

S left for India for his Sabarimala pilgrimage over the weekend and the children and I are making the most of this week before we too fly off.

We visited the Singapore Bicentennial Experience, which was a super show! If you are reading this based out of Singapore, please do go and visit it. This multimedia sensory experience brings you back in time to witness key moments in Singapore’s transformation from as far back as 1299. As I understand, tickets are still available for December and the experience at Fort Canning Park is scheduled to close on 31 December. I’ll try and do a more detailed post on this later.

We also went shopping and it was a great day to spend with the children. I want to do one-on-one dates with them in the new year.

Last week I also wrapped up my work commitments and I am a real free bird this week which I want to use to finish packing, clearing the house and also work a bit on my blog.

Have a wonderful week folks and see you on the other side next week!

The O levels are finally over! The exams ended this week, GG’s exams ended earlier than BB’s exams. Both children are rejoicing over the end of the exams, preparations which started over two years ago. But at the same time, they are at a loss at what to do with the all the time in their hands now.

According to them, they have done reasonably well and if all goes well, they will get the scores they are expecting. I just hope it’s not lower than expected, but marks moderation works in their favour and they actually do better than expected.

As in previous years, this will be the last post under this series. Now that their school life is over, I may or not post more under this series and will talk about BB & GG’s updates under the general weekly update.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

This was such a hectic week that I am hurting all over.

I had an event which was supposed to end around 8:30 pm and at 10 pm there were still some guests in the room refusing to leave. We managed to get them to leave and then left the place.

The O levels are winding down and we are all getting into holiday mode. S leaves for his pilgrimage at the end of the week so we are also packing for his trip this week.

This week will be a more chill week and then it’s party time!

Have a wonderful week folks!!

For the past two years the O levels is all that the children have heard, both from school and home. Now we’re down to the last exams and finally the journey is coming to an end.

The exams this week were a mixed bag for both of them, but we are trying not to dwell on exams which are over and prefer to focus on the ones that need to be studied for.

After the exams, both GG & BB will start preparing for their farewell prom which they have been anticipating. It’s a chance to let down their hair and have some fun before we fly off for our holiday.

Happy Sunday folks!

There’s not much to update this week. We have been quite busy with the O level exams and since last week was what the students called ‘Hell Week’, my whole focus was in the children and the exams.

The past few weeks have been quite busy, what with exams and then work which is also peaking this week and next before I can take a breather before our holidays.

There was and is a continuing some family drama happening in S’ family involving two brothers, one of whom, I think, has such a huge ego!

Anyway, have a great week and we are counting down to the last two week of the exams.
