Holidays are almost over and luckily both have finished up their holiday homework too. Now they can spend the rest of the holiday revising school work.
GG has her mother tongue intensive lessons this week and then there’s the EAE portal which opens up this week too. I have all my fingers (and toes also) crossed that they both get their course of choice.
That’s all for our week, see you next week!
Another week and we are almost halfway through the year!
I think, after more than a year, I have finally made peace with freelancing. I have decided that this is probably what I want to do and have started the process of reaching out to people to get more clients.
My take is that given that I hate the politics that happens in most offices, working for myself takes me away from that environment is a definite plus. Also the fact that there’s commute to work and the need not to wiork with people I may not get along with. I can also blast music or videos as I work and work on something else concurrently without being judged negatively.
I also went for my next eye review earlier in the week and though my eyes look all right, the right eye is still not 100% allright. The left eye is, according to the doctor, quite pristine. I am down from six eye drops to four eye drops, which is really a huge relief to me. I have the next review after a month and my hope at that review is that both my eyes are ‘pristine’
It was Fathers Day yesterday and so we decided to take S to the newly opened Jewel at Changi. It was a fun trip in the midst of studying and we really enjoyed it a lot. I will post pictures of the place soon.
Have a wonderful week folks!
Week 2 of the school holidays has just ended and we are at the halfway mark for the holidays.
The children had a couple of combined studies with their friends and they did say that they managed to do a fair bit of revision. I have told them, if studying with their friends is good to to studying well, then I don’t mind them doing them even a couple of times a week, at least till school reopens.
There’s really nothing much to add to the children’s schedule this week. They are busy completing their holiday homework and also trying to catch up on revision.
Have a lovely Sunday!
I felt that this week just flew by, without really doing much.
My eyes are really much better and the redness is all but gone. I don’t even have any more bluriness in my eyes and the sensitivity to light is also gone. I have another appointment with the doctor later today, which I hope is the last one.
Something happened to me earlier this week which sort of reinforced my belief that humanity is still alive. I had an event in the middle of the week and then had to go to the hospital pharmacy to pick up a medicine that was out of stock when I last went there. Since I had some heavy things in my hand, I decided to take a taxi. After getting down and queueing up to get the medicine, I realised to my horror, that I didn’t have my phone with me. I was sure I didn’t drop it while walking from where I got off to the pharmacy and quickly went to the information counter to see if there was a phone I could use. There was none there, but the nice lady there offered to call the taxi company (I had taken a receipt which was a good thing as we could identify the driver). Between the lady and the taxi company, they were able to get in touch with the driver who offered to drive back to the hospital with the phone as long as I paid the fare. I agreed immediately and used the same driver to get home too. The time between when we called the taxi company and they confirmed that the phone was still in the car was pure torture! I was wondering how I will manage without a phone and what shall I tell everyone at home. We spend so much time on our phones, it’s only when we lose it, we realise how important it is for us.
Next week should be another boring week with me trying to be on top of things on the home and work front.
Have a wonderful week folks!
This week saw the start of the school holidays here in Singapore, but for BB & GG, it was school as usual. Both had to go back to school for some intensive lessons so that the teachers can complete the syllabus.
The children also had a combined study session with BB’s besties. Since BB and his besties are pure science students, they were able to help GG with some of the issues she had in science which was a win-win situation for all.
This week also both have schools on different days and after this week, they can finally start their holidays. But this holiday (and all until mid November) are only reclassified as study breaks so it’s back to hitting the books for them. They also need to work on their EAE statements for the courses they are interested in.
That’s all for the week, have a wonderful Sunday!
