2018 Secondary 3 Week 19 Update

Exams are done and dusted for BB & GG and from tomorrow they will start getting their results.

They also had a long weekend since both schools had marking days on Friday and they went to see the new Avengers movie with their primary school friends.

I also went to an OBS-MOE open house over the weekend to check out what BB will be doing at his OBS camp later in the year. It was a great experience, though I was put on observer status because of my medical condition. I’ll do a more detailed post, especially from a parents point of view later in the week.

Today is Mothers Day and so here’s wishing all Mums who read this post a very Happy Mothers Day. What has your children planned for the day?

2018 Week 18 Update

I think I went through this week in a haze. I can’t really think of anything that really happened this week and we’re on to a new week already.

The days these days just seem to move as slow as molasses, but at the same time, by the time the weekend comes by, I feel like I have accomplished nothing.

The whole week was busy with chasing the children, especially BB to study and not spend time on his phone all the time.

Exams finish this week and I have something lined up for the weekend (I will write more after it’s done, if ever) and Sunday is also Mother’s Day in our part of the world.

Have a wonderful week everyone…

2018 Secondary 3 Week 18 Update

It’s exams week in our home so not much to update except exam related stuff.

Both are almost at the 50% of exams as of today and they have another four days of exams to go which end later in the week. The week will end with a holiday for both for marking so we’ll start to know the results when school starts again on 14 May.

As for exams, with the exception of a couple of subjects, both GG & BB say they have done reasonably well. As usual, BB has made some careless mistakes (I am still waiting for an exam where he manages to complete an exam without these mistakes). I’ll know for sure when the papers come back after being corrected.

Hope you’ve had a good weekend so far!

2018 Week 17 Update

Yesterday morning, almost as soon as we woke up, we got news that S’ uncle who was hospitalised passed away in the hospital. This uncle had been sick for a while now and this latest attack of pneumonia and heart failure made him so weak and unresponsive that his body gave up the fight! It was chaotic, to say the least, and I am super exhausted with everything!

For a long time now, I had been suffering from a bout of a very localised eczema and it was so bad that I was literally spamming cream every 30 minutes to get some relief. I had been prescribed some steroid cream a couple of months back but didn’t want to continue to take them for long. Last week, my primary care physician whom I see for my diabetes management asked me to see another doctor in the same practice who is also a qualified dermatologist and who finally gave me some creams and antihistamines which made a huge difference to my condition. I can finally see the end of the tunnel…

Tomorrow is a public holiday here in Singapore on account of Labour Day and I for one, am looking forward to sleeping in. Today is also the last day of April and this marks two years of unemployment!

2018 Secondary 3 Week 17 Update

Exams started on Friday for GG and will start from tomorrow 

GG also fell sick the day before her exams started because she sat next to two classmates who had a cold. I really need to start working on her immune system, probably a project for next month.

As for BB, he is still not taking things seriously. What I’ve done now is tell him target marks I want from him for his core Maths and Science subjects. The number of marks he gets less than that will be the number of pages of an assessment book he has to do daily once the marks come in. Lets see how he reacts to this. He is smart, but lazy, so I do know he can achieve what I ask him to do!

Ok, back to my work as a mum. Have a happy Sunday people!
