      son's room is like a hurricane just swept past :rant:

      he promised he will clear up after exams are over...but it's embarrassing for ME.
      took the vacuum cleaner and 3 plastic bags. stacked all his sec 1 books in one pile and sec 2 books in another for him to decide whether to keep or to donate. too tired to tidy daughter's room but feeling is shiok.

        My son's room could be even worst. Two study tables piled up high with don't know what books. Some even lying on the chairs. I just close his room door and make sure he cleans up by himself after the exams.

          Nobody can beat me - my whole house is in a mess. Busy packing and throwing away stuff as I will be shifting on Oct 7. Wish me good luck!

            porky,

            moving house is a good feeling.

            pacetone,
            I wanted so much to leave the clearing till next Friday…but my eyes are very sore and it’s very embarrassing when tutor walks into the room…他不要脸,我可要。

              Coincidentally, i did some packing and filing too this morning. Only at it for 30 mins and end up with runny nose and irritated throat, have to take antihistamine.

                I have to start tidying up before the painting starts on 30 oct.
                it's going to be a mad rush if I clear only after daughter finishes her exams, because that will be the same day the painting starts.
                will get hubby to take leave on those few days...my nose is very sensitive to dust.

                  The weather has been bad. I have been getting rashes on my cheeks :sad:

                  How is your DD? Hope she is coping well in school after dropping Chinese.

                    Hi TA,

                    after dropping MT, there is more time to revise the weak subjects.
                    just day by day, not daring to expect.

                        low expectations mean that anything she does well is a bonus.
