2017 Week 24 Update

Posted on June 19, 2017 by memoriesandsuch

This week has been quite eventful for me. I’ve been hinting about this for a while, but I started a new job last Monday. It’s different from what I’ve done before and I am still in the learning process. The people here seem nice and I am hoping I can be here for a long time.

Coming back from the holiday, GG fell sick and passed the virus to me on Sunday afternoon. So I was sick the first day of work. I could not take time off since it was my first week there, so I was popping medicines at night and going to work in the morning. I’m much better now and actually have passed the virus along to S, who is now sick!

My hiring manager has been very busy this week with deadlines so I will be meeting them only sometime next week to discuss what I need to do first.

This was pretty much my week. Hopefully, I will be happy here and have many stories to share! Have a wonderful week folks!

Secondary 2 Week 24 Update

Posted on June 18, 2017 by memoriesandsuch

The holidays are still on and there is just a week more before school starts. They get an extra day If holidays this year because the Monday school is supposed to start is the compensation holiday for Hari Raya Puasa or the festival following the period of Ramadan.

Both BB and GG have been at home this week and have been finishing up their school holiday homework. I’ve also been nagging them to get up on speed on the topics they’ve covered so far, but haven’t yet understood.

GG went to a friend’s home on Friday to complete a group assignment. She was supposed to go there on Sunday, but fell sick after our holiday. This Friend is a boy and I was quite concerned that it will be just them in his house to do the project work. So while I was ok for her to go on Sunday since his parents would be at home, I was a bit hesitant in allowing her to go on a weekday. But when her Friend said his grandparents would be home, I was able to rest more easily. As it happened, not only his grandparents, but his mum was also home that day.

People reading this may wonder why I am so paranoid, but this Friend was an unknown quantity and though I’ve met him once, I don’t really know him. On the other hand, if it were friends of the opposite sex (for either of my children) whom I’ve known for a while (like childhood and primary school friends), I would be less hesitant to let them be alone with them.

2017 Week 23 Update

Posted on June 12, 2017 by memoriesandsuch

We had been on a holiday to an Indonesian island over the past few days and it was such a chill holiday. We had no agenda and didn’t do any sightseeing, which was a new thing for me. I’ll do a proper blog post with more details, especially from the perspective of someone who is vegetarian.

We had a relaxing 2.5 days and came home to a sick helper. Actually, she fell sick the day before we left for our holiday, so that evening, I took her to the doctor and loaded her up with medicines before we left. The fever broke a day later, but she was still weak when we came back. So immediately, I had to start working when I reached home, doing the housework and cooking for the next couple of days. As I write this, she is in the clear, but still feels weak because she is not eating anything except some juice and fruits.

I am starting something new now, more details to follow when things are more clear.

Have a great week folks!

BB had another science camp this week and this was the only thing that happened this week as we were away for a holiday most of the week.

BB had a great time in the camp, much more than the one he went to last week. They did some cold survival techniques for which they went to snow city. Then did some satellite stuff, including how to download images from a satellite. He loved the cold survival techniques and the satellite stuff they did with the NASA engineer.

I am so glad that he gets to do such things, and we don’t have to pay a single penny because the costs are absorbed by the school and the government.

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!
