2015 Week 26 Update

Posted on July 6, 2015 by memoriesandsuch

Another week has gone by!

I have quite a busy week starting today and so my complaint of being bored will not work this week. I also have a “conversation” with my boss later today about my role here and what I can and should do for better opportunities in the company. Guess this conversation will decide for me whether to stay or to start looking for newer opportunities. I like this place and about 60% of my job, which is why taking that step to go out is a bit hard!

On another note, I’ve been having a bit of problem with my right shoulder and arm for a while now. I’ve been putting medicated plasters and muscle relaxants on it, especially at night, but since Saturday evening, the pain is quite bad. After googling the symptoms, I have now decided that I should mention it to my doctor when I see her next week for my routine checkup because one of the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke is pain in the arms….

Also, good news for Singapore during it’s 50th birthday. The Singapore Botanical Gardens has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The news came yesterday and it’s nice to have a UNESCO site in your backyard. More about this one of these days….

PSLE Week 26 Update

Posted on July 5, 2015 by memoriesandsuch

Less than three months to the big week!

GG & BB brought home the school schedule for this term and this is the big term for them – they will have their prelims, PSLE orals during the next 11 weeks and once they are done with the term 3 holidays, then’s the listening comprehension and the actual PSLE written exams.

Also in this term will be the DSA results, or rather those who are chosen to go to the next round, will know by the end of this month. I’ve been praying hard that BB makes it to the next round for the school his heart is set in and GG gets her audition letter….

Wish them all the best and please pray to the higher divine you believe in that they do well in their first national exams get what they wish for!

2015 Week 25 Update

Posted on June 29, 2015 by memoriesandsuch

A very boring week, of which the only good thing I can say about it was it finally got over! Have you had times when time seems to be frozen and it moves like slush? Well that was exactly my week. For some reason, I didn’t have much to do and when I am bored, time moves slowly!

I’ve decided to start a personal 21 Day Challenge. My challenge is not to eat between meals. So far, this week has been good, I am quite proud of myself over the weekend also…Why 21 Days? That’s because it’s said you need 21 days to change anything or to make it a habit. So this is one of the first steps to a more healthier me I suppose. I am on Day 5 today, so still got another 2 weeks plus to get through. I’ll do a proper post once I am done. But I am putting it here so that I become liable to myself (trying to trick my brain I guess)

When I finish this, I am going to start a new one. You can also challenge yourself to change one habit of yours by doing your version of the 21 Day Challenge. I’d love to hear your updates in the comments..

PSLE Week 25 Update

Posted on June 28, 2015 by memoriesandsuch

We’ve reached a milestone on our PSLE quest! It’s less than 100 days to the big week!

BB gave the last of his entrance tests yesterday – this is for his second choice school. Actually he is not too keen on this school, it’s me who is making him do the test as a back-up. This school test is supposed to be much tougher, some people in the groups I frequent say there will even be secondary 1 syllabus questions – well I don’t know how he will fare, it’s all going to be left to fate! BB did say the Maths component was very difficult and he could do just a handful of the problems with confidence, but the Science component was a lot easier, with most of the questions Chemistry based and which he was confident about. They were also told not to discuss the questions with anyone, so I didn’t really ask him anything else.

School starts tomorrow and there’s no easing them back into routine – they start the full schedule right from day 1. I guess because this is the only 12 odd weeks they have before their exams and they still have to get the Prelims in….

Well here’s to a good term for BB & GG – this is the term where we will have the Prelims and the PSLE Orals (I got goosebumps while typing the previous line, that’s how stressed I am about this exam monster!)

2015 Week 24 Update

Posted on June 22, 2015 by memoriesandsuch

My big news last week was the interview with my boss for the role I was interested in. Although, according to him, I was one of the more impressive interviewees, I highly doubt I will get the job as I don’t have the right number of years of experience. I’ll probably need a couple of months to get to speed, while he needs someone to jump right in and fight fires! But we did start a conversation going on my ambitions and I am determined to take this conversation further when he is back in office next!

Other than that, the highlight of the week was the Minion movie! It was so cute and I think I enjoyed it more than BB & GG! We also went for a Father’s Day dinner with S and his mum and aunt and that ended the week for us…

Now let’s see what the new week brings!
