Easy, but I'm worried for my results.. The last exam is tomorrow and I got to put a lot of effort in it. Not going to give marks back to the SEAB! :mad:
It's like you're battling bosses in a game:
English: 60 HP
Maths: 70 HP
MT: 80 HP
Science: 100 HP
Or maybe I've played too much games during PSLE? :scratchhead:

Hi Sspitfire,

Don't worry so much. Please sleep early today so you will have a clear mind tomorrow.

Tomorrow when you read the OE question, try to do these steps:
Step 1: Identify what topic they are testing you e.g. is it magnets, energy, forces, plant reproduction, plan respiratory, etc.
Step 2: Recall the keywords related to the topic e.g. unlike poles attract, like poles repel, etc.
Step 3: Choose the applicable keywords and construct your sentence(s).

All the best for tomorrow! :rahrah:

Thanks although the paper has ended, I found the paper quite difficult, there's one MCQ question which I think have 3 answers.. Really worried for my results.. If fail, no pet parrot for me..

Seems like difficulty of math replaced by a more challenging science?[/quote]Maybe more parents will complain about Sci pp this yr and it will be easier next yr? : )

I need to show your post to my kids. They were asking for gadgets which I can't afford. I think yours is so much more interesting.

Packing dc's books n materials. Can form a height of 1m, I think. Disregarding the outcome of psle, we should give them a pat at the back. Such tough life for a 12 yo.

aren't u the one who bou the 1m tall books n materials? :rotflmao:
:siam: first
In the midst of packing up, will measure n hv a competition, ok

Err..m, ok, I confess. 1/3 was purchased by me cos dc didn't go for any enrichment class. Didn't know school also very ON so all add up to that height. No dc3 to 'inherit' so can discard or pass them on.
OK, compete height lor. 谁怕谁？ :nunchuk:

Hehe, I would suggest them to research on the parrots before purchasing one if they're interested

Dd came home, got changed, then sat on the sofa just ‘发呆’ & do nothing for a good 10 minutes, looking relaxed. I realize to hv time to ‘发呆’ & do nothing is a luxury to Singapore kids. Lol…

Saw DS put those papers he’d done in plastics bags. Asked him why didn’t throw. He said he wants to slash up (in ‘revenge’) the papers and make into recycled paper.


Hmm, not bad an idea. Some remembrance!
