2016 Week 24 Weekly Update

A boring kind of a weekand a very hectic weekend was what this week was all about. 

We got back from Yogya on Monday and somehow the rest of the week just sped by without me not accomplishing anything and being super unproductive. 

On Saturday since S was at home, I decided to get some errands out of the way, which included buying BB his Hindi School uniform, which he had outgrown and also doing some other shopping which had been pending for a while now. BB now wears size 42 which is the size that S, a fully grown adult wears. His show size is larger than S’ also. He still had a few more years of growing up to do and I suspect he will be quite tall. As he stands now, he is a tad taller than me and slightly shorter than S. 

I also made a booboo this weekend. For some reason I thought Fathers Day was yesterday (June 12) and we planned to have a dinner at a nice place then. I also got S a car camera that he had been eyeing for a while as a Fathers Day present from the kids. Then just before we left for the dinner, I realised that Fathers Day is actually next Sunday!! Anyway since we had made reservations, we went for the dinner and had an early celebration….

We’re almost halfway done with the school holidays and except for our trip to Jogya, I’ve not really done much with the children. 

They’re around 80% done with holiday homework and this weekend we brought some more assessment books to work on. I need to work out a timetable with them for the rest of the holidays. 

I’m also planning some activities this week, including museums, so lets see how we do those!

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads who read this blog and to the others, do not forget to wish your own dad…

I am posting this almost 10 hours behind schedule!

We’re back in Singapore now, though still so very tired. Yogya was great, loads to see and do, especially if you are a history and culture buff like me. I’ll do more detailed posts later in the week once I sort out the photos and get my post ideas sorted out.

The beginning of the week saw both BB & GG in school so I was pretty much alone planning for the trip, which, I felt had the most slipshod planning I have done…

I am also having some health issues, which I don’t want to share here, suffice to say they are of the female variety, but since this weekly post is a sort of a diary for me, I want to put this down for posterity’s sake…

Have a great week folks!!

Its the start of the school holidays and we’re in Yogyakarta as I write this. 
Both BB and GG had to go back to school earlier this week, GG for choir practice and BB for a space camp at the Singapore Science Centre. The highlight of the camp at the Science Centre was using their super powerful telescope to see the sky and stars. Unfortunately, the day they were to see this, the sky was cloudy and they didn’t see the stars. BB also had his Math Olympiad test this week and he said it was a very tough one. I am hoping he makes it to the school team (if they have one) as this will help in his DSA application if he plans do so next year (for Sec 3) as well as in junior college and/or polytechnic. 

They do have holiday homework and we need to start working on that as soon as we are back. I am also thinking of using the school holidays to tutor them in humanities, subjects which I am fairly strong in. This should help them in the next semester. This trip was also good in terms of both history and geography, both subjects which they are studying and will continue to study next year. 
I am also planning some holiday activities locally, so the idea is to spend more time with them – the whole idea of me taking a break from work!

2016 Week 22 Update

This week I officially complete one month of being a SAHM and jobless! In the last week or so, I did not even apply for jobs. I have started to get depressed about this, sometimes thinking that I will not get another job ever. I need to get out of this funk soon. Need to get my act together as soon as I am back from my holiday later this week.

We’re going to Yogyakarta, Indonesia for a 4 day trip later in the week. Yogya or Jogya as it is fondly called by the locals has two UNESCO world heritage sites close by – Borobudur and the Prambanan temple complex and I am eager to explore them and take load of photos!

We also went for Baby’s one month party yesterday and had a blast playing with him. My sister-in-law emulated the local chinese custom where they celebrate a baby’s full moon (1 month) and get everyone to see the baby at the same time!

Gotta prepare for our holidays and source for places to eat and shop! I’ll spam pictures of the place soon and also do a few posts on what all we did so anyone who is interested in this place will have some points to start with….

Have a great week folks!
