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!

This was a super eventful week for us.

BB went for one aptitude test for his first choice of EAE and an interview for his last choice. He was not even called for an aptitude test for his second choice which was in the same poly as that of his first choice, just a different school. A friend who had the reverse choices (BB’s first was his second and his first was BB’s second) didn’t get called for the course which BB got called for the aptitude test. We suspect the poly just called for one course per applicant. I wish we knew this before applying as this means we lost one choice, which we could have applied to a different poly. His first choice school also have called him for an interview next week and I have all my fingers and toes crossed. His interview for his last choice was also good according to him, though its a course in which he does not have much exposure or knowledge in.

On to GG now. She had her first interview at a junior college she applied for direct admission under her CCA. She went for the interview at the begining of the week and during the audition, she said her voice cracked at one point. But she is ok if she does not make it to the next round as this crack at the direct admission was only to prove she can make it.

She also got interview calls for both the courses she applied to at one poly. These are to two disparate courses and she got the interview calls after clearing an online aptitude and personality test. Her first choice of course has also called her for an aptitude test which will happen next week.

On Thursday, while running in school during the PE lesson, she tripped and fell down on the concrete and gravel floor. She bruised her right knee quite badly and it even started to bleed and her other knee had some superficial bruises. Her right palm was also bruised. She was given first aid in school and her PE teacher also called me to appraised me about the situation. I did not think too much and when she came home, she said her knee was still paining and bleeding and she could not close her palm. So I took her to the GP who after checking her told me to take her to the hospital A&E since it may be something more serious. We went to the nearest hospital, but they told us to go one a little further away since they dont have a children’s specialist on duty and if we waited, the doctor on duty will send us to the other hospital.

So off we went and after getting checked by a doctor and having her x-ray taken, we came to know that she has a small hairline fracture on the right wrist. She was bandaged and braced and sent home and now we have to go next week to see them again for a review and hopefully it means that she does not have to wear a cast anymore. I am hoping for good news when we see the specialist next week.

That was our pretty eventful week. Have a wonderful Sunday people!
