We are in August now, where did the months go! Less than half the year to end 2015 and two months more to the PSLE!

The usual week which was enlivened by the NDP preview we went to on Saturday! This was our first NDP and the atmosphere was terrific. We got tickets for the Floating platform, and not at the Padang where all the action was, but the fireworks here was simply amazing!

If this was the case one week before the celebrations, I am sure the energy and atmosphere next week will be electric!! And the fireworks, they were amazing! I heard that what was shown at the preview was only a part of what will be shown next week, so if you are in Singapore next Sunday, do watch the NDP show. I’m planning another post on the NDP show later in the week and have more pics in my camera which I need to download, so more later…

But I was so tired after coming home and was even feeling it yesterday. A heartfelt salute to all the performers, presenters, motivators, ushers and volunteers who have been doing this every Saturday right from July….

Work-wise, I spoke to my boss about not going for the Delhi trip later in the month and he asked me to reconsider as the meeting is basically my baby and I have been planning and working on it for almost 3 months now, from logistics to agenda. So I will talk to S and the brats once more and take a decision soon!

The next two weeks are short ones (we get Friday to Monday off) as part of the Jubilee Weekend celebrations and I am really looking forward to the long and relaxing weekend…

Another week has gone by and we’re started our PSLE Prelims. The children had their language orals last week with the Mother Tongue written exams this weekend. The written exams are about a month away and the actual PSLE Orals will be before their Prelims written exams….

Like I posted yesterday, GG has an audition this week at the only school she applied for, so that’s a piece of good news for us.

As for work, I am going to have a talk with Big B on Friday. This is to sort out which days I will be working from home during exam days as well as tell him I am not going for a planned work trip to India next month as this is during Prelims. I am not sure how this is going to pan out as this trip is something I am/was looking forward to, but BB & GG are not too keen on me going. Let’s see what happens!

And on to another week – two more weeks and we come to the SG50 long weekend. Singapore celebrates it’s 50th birthday this year and we collected our funpacks also this morning. I am planning a post on SG50 soon, so look out for it.

Ok, have to get to work now, long week ahead as I need to do prep for the work trip I am not going (sobs)…

Have a great week folks…..

The last week was a short one because of the public holiday for the end of the fasting month!

But the weekend was far from the idyllic one that I envisioned. We didn’t get the magical email which would push BB to the next round at his dream school, which put a damper into everyone’s lives. I was shattered – for some reason I had already envisioned him in the school and now to realise that he’s not going to make it, somehow put me into a complete funk. I was depressed the whole day and at night, went to BB’s room to talk to him and completely lost it! I started crying – something I am not proud of – but if this makes any difference to BB’s mindset for the exams, I’ll take what I can get.

We go into the Prelims orals this week with both languages happening one after the other.

So here’s a nice quote to brighten up your day and another one for the week ahead! Ok, Monday, lets roll!!
