My ds get me to prepare home cooked lunch too n he asked that the lunch be put in a thermal container. It was really heartening to hear his praise for the lunch. Have to get up extra early to prepare but really worth it.
yes ... same feeling. and ds' friends usually surround him to see what \"good\" food he has and they start helping themselves to the food too. his lunch became the kids' envy. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: -

Alamak you all making me feel nostalgic la.
I recall when DDs were in their previous school, saying each time during recess, everyone will crowd around including the teachers, to see what is packed in their lunch box. Then, the crowd will go wuuuuuaaaahh in unison. When there is extra she will share with her good friends. They like to tease DD2, \"So good, no need to queue.\" DD2 will reply, \"Not only no need to queue, I also get to keep my pocket $ in my savings box.\" This girl is a saver. :love:
On days when their classes hold class parties, DDs said the ones they brought finished first. :please: They were so pleased.. of course.. so was I.
DDs have requested to bring muffins to school for teachers' day celebration. -
Jennifer:
if for this reason, her best friends will want to go same school as her, most probably she'd request more fancy cookings.

my ds will give small morsels to his friends to try, or they will exchange. my dd will request for me to cook double portions of popular foods. she has had some really good girls as friends since p3. she's gonna be crying her heart out after psle.
some of her classmates do get homecooked food, but according to my dd, not appetizing at all.

icy_mama, this is so pressurizing if the kids are comparing whether the food is yummy or not
Will your DS consider boys school for secondary so my DS can take up your generous offer although only 2 years later? :please:
Last night I tried to find out more from DS why he wants home cooked lunch. He said he envy his friends who get home-cooked lunch. The funny thing is the home-cooked lunch trend is only among the boys. It is not happening among the girls in his school :? -
I am quite frustrated, worried and perplexed with my DS prelims results
He did quite badly IMO, and if comparing to what the rest are sharing here.
It’s all between 60-68, and based on these, the est T-score is between 188 to 195.
He has been getting pte tuition for all subjects since last year, and I am devastated that his results did not get any better. I am also perplexed as I know the tutors have been conscientiously working with him on his weaker areas and I just cannot understand why he did not show any improvements at all.
I have limited time to do any revision with him, after he completes his school & tuition work. The little time I had to practise Math Paper 1 with him using other schools’ papers, he did better than in exams. Same goes to Paper 2 and Sci papers.
When I asked him what was the reasons that he seemed to do better at home than during exams, were he nervous etc, he said no… but there were alot of careless mistakes, unnecc answers, not thinking straight kinda answers in his papers.
How can I help him further? Am we too late?
