2019 Week 31 Updates

A fairly short week with the National Day at the end of the week meant that things were a little easy this week.

I spent the weekend thinking each day was the next day because it’s not often we get a long weekend all the way from Friday to Monday off. I spent the weekend without any alarms and it was so nice to wake up when I wanted to and not when the alarm asked me to.

This week also starts with a public holiday for Hari Raya Haji or Bakri Eid as it’s called in South Asia.

I was quite good at clearing my to-do list last week and am hoping to replicate the same this week too.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 31 Update

This was a short school week and so will next week be because of the long National Day and Hari Raya Haji weekend.

BB had sports day one of the days and then add to the national day observance ceremony in school, plus science practicals in school, it meant not much done in terms of actual school work. It was pretty much the same in GG’s school this week.

We are enjoying a rare long weekend and we’ve been a sloth the last few days. Tomorrow is the last day of the holiday and Tuesday is back to our usual routines. We’re down to around 70 days till the O level exams so stress levels are increasing.

Have a fab Sunday folks and to those who celebrate it, Eid Mubarak!

2019 Week 30 Update

Another week and the end of another month!

Life plods along and life is at status quo. There’s really nothing much to post here.

Over the weekend, both GG and I came down with a bad cold and cough and this meant that I was not in a mood to complete my tasks for the weekend which means it has been postponed to this week.

This week also ends with a long weekend, book-ended by two public holidays for Singapore’s National Day and the Hari Raya Haji festival. But for us, this weekend is going to be all about studies since the O level exams will be around 70 days then.

Prelim season is also upon us and my nagging mode is on full volume.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 30 Update

August is here and prelims season has started!

BB & GG has their Mother Tongue prelims on Saturday and BB’s Science practical prelims are next week.

Over the weekend, along with other members of BB’s school parent support group, we hand made Lego keychains to give all teachers, admin and support staff for Teacher’s Day which will be celebrated on the first Friday of September. This PSG always makes handmade items to give the Teachers and this year was no different. It’s the last year for me as part of a parent support group as I don’t know if tertiary institutions have one.

We’re down to 78 days to the start of the O level written papers and I have installed a countdown app which tells so each day.

I am really looking forward to the end of the exams. But before that we will know the results of their EAE interviews later this month, another date I am anxiously looking forward to and dreading to at the same time. I really hope and pray that they both get admitted into the course of their choice.

Anyway, that was all for this week. Hope to get more positive news soon!! Have a wonderful Sunday.

2019 Week 29 Update

Another usual week for me. I was slightly productive, but not as much as I would have liked it to be.

I do have pending tasks from last week which I am going to hunker down and finish it otherwise I will continously be behind!

I also accompanied GG to one of her interviews this week and spent the time waiting for her in catching up on the shows I had missed. I also had to accompany her to the hospital to review what we thought was a hairline fracture on her wrist. The review was a success because the senior doctors ruled out the fracture and said it was just a sprain and the line the initial doctor looking at her said was a hairline fracture was her bones still growing.

I am now researching for our India trip at the end of the year. We will be visiting a major metro in the south to visit my maternal grandmother as well as to visit S’ clan temple plus other temples in the vicninity. GG, BB & me are history buffs and some of the temple architecture is simply amazing which we are looking forward to seeing.

That’s all for this week. We’re almost at the end of July also which makes our O level exams looming frighteningly and that’s the big stress in the household which will only end in mid-November!

Have a fantastic week folks!
