      She did attend eventually. Not very enjoyable for her but still an experience nevertheless. Doubt she would want to go again though :rotflmao:
      If she would not want to go thru it again in sec sch....think u MUST get an excused letter under medical condition/s....
      Sec schs will not be so lenient compared to pri schs....( at least fr my experience)
      Bet u'll get unwanted calls fr many of the teachers ( FT, HODs).... šŸ˜‰

      Anyway, it will be graded under CCA .....

        Out since morning with my friend at Vivo. We managed to catch 2 movies back to back RIPD and The Internship. Movies nice!

        Had lunch at the wine company along sentosa Broadway and dinner at Poulet. Food not fantastic though.

        Had lunch at manhattan fish market last week...I tell you, the grilled fish is yummy...cooked to perfection. 1 for 1 promotion till 31/8. Only weekdays.

        did u go poulet cos jamie's italian is still too long wait? seems like lots of them are doing that. those turned away at jamie's italian will go poulet. I m included. šŸ˜†

            Oh....i wont enjoy or want such \" ME Time\" as i missed my gal terribly during that few days....
            Becos there was literally no news from them....and couldnt contact them...( unless emergency which have to go thru few channels)
            They are NOT allowed to bring their mobile phones....

            My dd1 missed me more than I missed her. She cried in her sleeping bag while thinking of me. So endearing :love:

            Me, on the other hand, feel that 2 nights passed quickly with dd2 at home. Hence dd1 is home before I begin to miss her. I know I very ę²”č‰Æåæƒ :siam:

            Yes.....my gal missed me terribly too....
            as she not only could not see me, couldnt even hear my ( our) voices....
            So when she was back home....
            first thing threw down all her baggages..... rushed forward to hug me....so endearing.... :please:[/quote]i tink my DD will do that too. cry in the sleeping bag. and my DW might do that too. but it should be good for them to be exposed to such \"wilderness\". let them know what is life without \"HOME\".

              Wait 6 more years for your ME time :evil:
              Or maybe 4 will do. Heard single session from 2016 so when both your kids in primary school likely will have more time to yourself
              when they in school i m at work. so Me time should still be the same....wake up at 4am... :faint:
              Nebbermind:
              Was doing this kinda work for a few years...worse than NS coz :

              1) NS only standby once a year at most
              2) NS Response time 4 hrs for key personnel or 8 for most others (any change in recent yrs?) whereas maintenance svc call can be 1 hr!!
              so u were working near YCK/Bedok mrt for some time?

                  Had some dealings with them but never worked for them coz in different industry.

                  BTW, was it not another big IT company at the Bedok site previously?

                      I have to be hard to let son attend the camp...because he has to go for NS...but mummy here has double standard. When my daughter has camp, I will get heartache. On the night when there was camp fire, I could see he was homesick and I melted 😢 Asked hubby to cook up an excuse to bring him home...hubby said NO.

                        DD is in P4 now and she is talking about the P5 camp. She thinks it is exciting and fun. I think so too. So fun, whole day of activities with friends, making camp, cooking, eating, washing up and at night when lights out can still chit chat with friends, then scare themselves silly when someone needs to go pee.
