PSLE Week 15 Update

BB and GG finished their Hindi SA1 exams and they said it was only ok! Now I am scared – when they say it’s ok, it usually ends up in them failing the exam! God!! They really need to get their act together – it’s just slightly over 5 months to THE EXAMS!!!

Another job for this week is to register BB for the NUS DSA. I’ve done most of the registration process, but need to fll up the last part about BB’s Maths, Science and English marks from P4 onwards. I need to ask his form teacher for this on Monday.

Otherwise the week passed by uneventfully, the school SA1 exams will start from the end of the month with the Orals first, so we need to get GG & BB on speed there.

2015 Week 14 Update

This week just zipped by, and before I knew it, the weekend was here!

Job front, things are the same, though it was a busy week at work which helped zip the week away!

I had a sty in my right eye, which was painful and which made me visit the doctor on Thursday. But as soon as I had good sleep over the weekend, it started disappearing, making me wonder if this was because of lack of sleep.

You people must have guessed by now, I lead a very boring life. I am an introvert and proud to be one.

A colleague mentioned I never did anything for myself – go out for dinners, party etc. and only live for my children. At that point, I just smiled and left the place, but it got me thinking. Yes, my children are the core in my life, but I do things for myself – it’s just that the definition of what I like to do and what others like to do may be different. To me, a good book and better conversation ranks much above a party where you make small talk and then forget it 10 minutes later. Writing and thinking of posts and working on it gives me more satisfaction then pubbing! That’s the difference between me and others I guess….

This sums me up perfectly 🙂

PSLE Week 14 Update

Another week down and we are slowly inching towards the SA exams. GG & BB have their Hindi SA written exams next week and the other subjects will be in the end of the month.

We went to the Open House by NUS High School yesterday, and though we didn’t have much time to see the school (because of the Hindi classes), we managed to catch the principal’s talk and I am sold! I really like this school, and though BB is not thinking of this as his first choice, he also seems to want to give this a shot!

The admission process starts with applying for DSA, followed by the selection tests, selection camp leading to an offer letter. There is also a Phase 2 which will happen after the PSLE results are out. Fees for Singapore citizens is $300 per month, for SPR it is $450 and so on with $20  supplementary fees for all per month.

I really hope BB gets through one of his school choices….

2015 Week 13 Update

I realise one thing – most of my weekly updates are mostly about work. I do have a life beyond that, you know, in case anyone is interested.

I am, as a person, who overthinks things and then stresses over it A LOT! I keep thinking of situations that could occur and then think of ways in which I will work through them, all in my head…

This week was a short one, with the week zipping by, with the exception of Thursday, which I think was because of the anticipation of the long weekend!

My helper has decided to unfurl her wings and on Saturday afternoon, went with some friends to a temple of her faith in JB (Malaysia). She stayed over at her friend’s place since they came back quite late and then went from there for her Sunday off.

Naah, it’s not this bad. I actually like most of the stuff I do, even love it. But there are other things I dislike, perhaps even close to hate! My Monday morning face is nowhere like this guys!

Have a great week

PSLE Week 13 Update

IMG_3685This weekend, GG & BB got their PSLE exam booklets. This is a booklet which has the instructions to students taking their PSLE exams this year. In addition, since they are not taking the usual MT (Chinese, Malay, Tamil), they got an additional note for their Hindi exams. Now the exams is very, very real to us 😦

The booklet has things on exam rules and regulations, format, use of dictionaries and scientific calculators. There is also information on what to you if you are unable to take the exam in your own school (basically if you are hospitalised or suffering from some infectious diseases) and the results dates (yikes!) plus the time table (double yikes)
