2019 Week 14 Update

This week was the kind of week I like, one where I managed to tick off my to do list and have time for myself too in the process.

I had a cousin’s husband over for dinner one night over the weekend. He was in Singapore for a work trip and this weekend was the only day all schedules synced up. Actually I was meeting him for the first time in almost five years, the second time after he married my cousin.

It was a fun evening, where we chatted and got to know each other well. I just wish my family lived closer so we can meet more often, rather than just every few years!

This week will also be an interesting one, but why I will tell you next week. I am also planning to spend more time with myself on some self-care, so I am excited about this.

Have a wonderful week folks!

School continues and soon it will be time for the mid-year exams at the end of this month. BB’s school has already released the timetable for the exams, but GG’s school still needs to release the timetable.

Otherwise, school is going on as per normal. CCA’s should step down sometime after next week. GG has her Singapore Youth Festival competition also next week, which means more CCA practice time for her. She has been pretty exhausted these days due to long CCA hours.

They also had their Hindi mid year exam over the weekend, and all I hope for them is that they pass the exam. One more exam and then it’s the O level exam, after which both don’t want to do this subject anymore.

That’s all from the children in school this week. Have a wonderful Sunday!

This was another meh week for me. For the past few weeks I have been slightly despondent and unproductive with many of my to-do lists being pushed to the next week for the third week running.

It’s the end of the first quarter of 2019 and spring is in the air in many countries.

I have mixed feelings about this year. On one hand I want the year to end, so I can finally go on a holiday and then I think that the end of the year means the O level exams and then I think again.

Have a wonderful and productive April. It’s April Fools Day today, have you made a fool of anyone yet?

Ending this post with a quote attributed to Mark Twain:

“April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.”

School started and in the beginning of the week, I went to GG’s school for a breakfast session with her principal and school leaders.

It was a light hearted session and GG’s form teacher had only good things to say about her. Though he doesn’t teach her any subject, he has heard about her from her other subject Teachers.

Otherwise the week was the usual one. Pace has slightly increased because schools are trying to finish the syllabus by the end of this term so they have plenty of time for revision.

GG is also gearing up for the Singapore Youth Festival, after which she steps down from her CCA, both in terms of leadership as well as actual CCA.

Hope your Sunday is as good as mine promises to be!

This was the term break week so nothing much happened.

I didn’t have any work commitments this week so pretty much spent all my time at home.

We were planning a trip to Johor Bahru this week and because of GG’s school commitments, we could not find anytime to go together as a family. So S and I decided to go in just to do some grocery and other shopping. We left home around 9 am and except for a bit of a jam at the customs in the Singapore side, the trip across the causeway was quite smooth. We hit a bottleneck at the Malaysian customs. We were unfortunate to be in the one lane which only had one customs Bay with an officer who was super slow! We spent almost an hour in that lane getting frustrated with other vehicles just zipping past us on either side.

The return trip was uneventful as we had decided to leave from JB around 3 pm. We cleared Malaysian customs easily and drove across the causeway with a bit of a wait on the Singapore side.

It was a good trip and we managed to purchase all that we had on our list plus more!

This week will be a slightly more hectic week because I actually put some of my items which I had to do last week to this week. Wish me a productive time!

Have a wonderful and productive week!
