2015 Week 33 Update

Another short work week for me as I worked from home the last two days of the work week. BB & GG started their PSLE exams with the English and Mother Tongue Orals and I stayed at home to give them moral support.

This week is my work trip, for which I leave later today. I am a bit apprehensive as this week is their Prelims. S will be taking half day through the week to sit with them and work on their subjects. Got two back to back ones, but I’ll be around for the last paper for the Prelims. Then I guess there’ll be a Parent Teacher Session before the school breaks for the September holidays.

Nothing much happened last week….Gosh I lead such a boring life….Hopefully this week will give me more fodder to write next week 🙂

PSLE Week 33 Update

The week ended with the PSLE Orals! Now that we have started, the pressure seems to be about 10% off. We’re down with 2 with 6 more to go…

Next week will be Prelims for the children and then a month of intense prep. The Composition and Listening Comprehension will sneak in between this before the final countdown in October!

BB was sick on Thursday morning with a high raging fever. I doused him with Panadol before sending him to school, and felt so bad in the process! There was nothing we could do at this point, but later in the day, I took him to the doctor, who, understanding the severity of the situation, gave us stronger doses of medicine. Luckily that worked and he was fine on Friday!

Both BB & GG seem to have done ok with both orals. I don’t want them to dwell on these exams, but look forward to next week for the Prelims. Unfortunately I won’t be around next week, so the onus is now on S….

2015 Week 32 Update

A short work week, but was quite hectic, with all the prep for my work trip next week..

I met two ex-colleagues last week and we spent a lot of time gossiping about people we know. I had planned to be there for just an hour, but it stretched to more than 2 hours. We had so much fun, that we are planning another meet soon, after the PSLE exams though…

I’ve had this dream twice now – both times it shows BB in the dream school I have written about before. I really don’t know what this means – perhaps it’s my subconscious telling me to let go of that dream!

According to astrology, a golden period in my life which comes once in twelve years is starting soon. My wish is that, if this is a golden period, then hopefully the universe will send me a warm glow where my children do well in their exams and my job situation also improves…

2015 Week 31 Update

A very short work week which meant I had a lot of time with the kids. We had Friday till Monday off and other than a run on Friday morning to stock up on groceries at Little India, I did not leave the house at all!

But with tuitions scheduled everyday early in the morning, it did mean I didn’t get to sleep in, but that was compensated by afternoon naps – such an indulgence these days…

Also did a lot of television watching as all the channels in both Starhub and Singtel were free for the Jubilee Weekend.

Oh, I have put this down – since a lot of attractions were free during the weekend, the crowds were to be seen to believed. On Friday, someone I knew decided to visit the Arts Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands since it was free (as a perspective, it costs between $30-$40 per person otherwise), she reached there around 10:30 – 11 am and the waiting time to enter the museum was 5 hours!! Then yesterday, the folks who run the cable car into Sentosa decided to have the run between Vivo City and Sentosa free and I read on Facebook that around 4 pm, the waiting time to get into the cable car was 10 hours!!! This is so unbelievable…..I am so glad we stayed at home and chilled..

Meeting a friend later today after work. She was an ex-colleague turned friend, so am anticipating a good gossip session….

PSLE Week 31 Update

This was a very short week for the kids in school. Because of the Jubilee Weekend, Friday was a holiday and Thursday was the National Day Observance ceremony which meant they were dismissed at 10 am. On Wednesday, the school had a National Day musical in evening. The whole school with the exception of the P6s were involved in the musical. So BB, GG and the rest of the cohort were in school for a few hours doing some mass clinics for the PSLE!

Speaking of which the PSLE Orals is in just about 2 weeks time and I am now seriously scared! I am going to work from home the two days to give them moral support!

This week will also be a short one with the school having their English Prelims Papers 1 & 3 (Composition and Listening Comprehension), then next week PSLE Orals!!’

Wish us luck please!!!!
