It’s a new week and I have tons to do this week!

August is closing out fast and we’re reaching the last few months of the year.

Over the weekend, I also booked our tickets to our long awaited trip to India at the end of the year. I am so excited about the trip, which will involve a side trip down south. We are going deep into the interiors and so will be taking some train trips also. My last train trip was a few years back, but that was a short trip, so this will be memorable, especially for the children.

We’re knee deep into preparations for the O levels, and stress levels at home are pretty high! My eye infection also seems to have made a comeback, but I need to wait till October to see my doctor as part of the review.

That’s all from me today, have a wonderful week folks!

We are slightly over two months to the O levels and the stress is getting real! The children had their O level Englih Oral exams earlier in the week and GG was really stressing over it. She thinks she messed up a bit, which happens when she stresses over exams and BB also said, he fumbled a bit in the reading part. Both ended up with the same topic for the spoken interaction part, which was about the environment.

BB’s prelims start from next week and I am more stressed than him. For GG, her prelims start at the end of the month and she even has the September holidays in between. But I don’t like her prelim timetable as I feel it does not give them much time after the prelims to work towards the actual exams which start in the third week of October.

But before the exams, they will have their graduation ceremonies in school, for which I will go to. I have already committed to attending BB’s school ceremony, but have still not gotten the notification from GG’s school.

The EAE results will also come out this week and that’s another source of stress for us. I really am hoping that both BB & GG get offers in a course of their choice, but if that doesn’t happen, they just have to work hard and get the scores the courses demand.

Ah well, please pray for us, both for the EAE offers and the O levels. Have a wonderful Sunday!

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!

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!

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!
