2019 Week 30 Update

Another week and the end of another month!

Life plods along and life is at status quo. There’s really nothing much to post here.

Over the weekend, both GG and I came down with a bad cold and cough and this meant that I was not in a mood to complete my tasks for the weekend which means it has been postponed to this week.

This week also ends with a long weekend, book-ended by two public holidays for Singapore’s National Day and the Hari Raya Haji festival. But for us, this weekend is going to be all about studies since the O level exams will be around 70 days then.

Prelim season is also upon us and my nagging mode is on full volume.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 30 Update

August is here and prelims season has started!

BB & GG has their Mother Tongue prelims on Saturday and BB’s Science practical prelims are next week.

Over the weekend, along with other members of BB’s school parent support group, we hand made Lego keychains to give all teachers, admin and support staff for Teacher’s Day which will be celebrated on the first Friday of September. This PSG always makes handmade items to give the Teachers and this year was no different. It’s the last year for me as part of a parent support group as I don’t know if tertiary institutions have one.

We’re down to 78 days to the start of the O level written papers and I have installed a countdown app which tells so each day.

I am really looking forward to the end of the exams. But before that we will know the results of their EAE interviews later this month, another date I am anxiously looking forward to and dreading to at the same time. I really hope and pray that they both get admitted into the course of their choice.

Anyway, that was all for this week. Hope to get more positive news soon!! Have a wonderful Sunday.

2019 Week 29 Update

Another usual week for me. I was slightly productive, but not as much as I would have liked it to be.

I do have pending tasks from last week which I am going to hunker down and finish it otherwise I will continously be behind!

I also accompanied GG to one of her interviews this week and spent the time waiting for her in catching up on the shows I had missed. I also had to accompany her to the hospital to review what we thought was a hairline fracture on her wrist. The review was a success because the senior doctors ruled out the fracture and said it was just a sprain and the line the initial doctor looking at her said was a hairline fracture was her bones still growing.

I am now researching for our India trip at the end of the year. We will be visiting a major metro in the south to visit my maternal grandmother as well as to visit S’ clan temple plus other temples in the vicninity. GG, BB & me are history buffs and some of the temple architecture is simply amazing which we are looking forward to seeing.

That’s all for this week. We’re almost at the end of July also which makes our O level exams looming frighteningly and that’s the big stress in the household which will only end in mid-November!

Have a fantastic week folks!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 29 Update

Both BB & GG had an EAE interview this week and GG rounded the week with an aptitude test for her first choice course. This ended all of BB’s interviews while GG still has one more to go.

We also went to the hospital to review GG’s fractured wrist. After removing the cast and reviewing her x-rays by two senior doctors, they conculded that there was no fracture in the first place, but the line the attending doctor at the A&E saw was actually her bones still growing. So that was a huge relief for us, especially since her science teacher mentioned about this saying that if the cast was to be there for a while, they would need to write in to the ministry of education to get her extra time during the O level exams.

Speaking of which, we are now at a countdown to the exams. Prelims start soon and the main exams are less than three months away. If GG & BB don’t get into their course of choice, then they have no choice but to do well in their exams and then make it to the course they want to get into.

Stress levels are going through the roof as we get closer to the exams. I for one can’t wait for the last exam to come soon!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

2019 Week 28 Update

This was quite an eventful week as I updated yesterday.

After a night spent at the hospital, the next day we went to an awards function where S got a excellence award. He was the only person from his organisation to win it this year and it was a proud moment when he was featured as one of the big winners of the evening.

Next week seems to be another hectic week, what with taking GG to an interview and also for her review with an orthopedic doctor. I also have an event with the organisation I work part-time plus I have my to-do list to work on!

That was all last week, let’s hope this week is kind to me. Have a wonderful week people!
