Me Time!

[sharonkhoo]

I’m in a slacking mode now. Just got a project done which has been taking up a lot of time and energy for the past couple of months - and poorly paid too! I still have a some stuff to complete for my volunteer work which I need to get done soon as my husband and I go on vacation next week. I also need to get out my warmer clothing and get the house stocked up for the kids.


We also started planning our Dec vacation a couple of days ago, and as always, I get to do the research and the main "busy" work - tickets, itinerary, accommodation etc. My husband gives opinions, the family pow-wows a bit, then I do the work and submit what I have found out for "approval"! Seems silly to be planning this before we’ve even left for the May-Jun vacation, but we found that a lot of accommodation has been booked up already (in NZ). No choice but to travel during the peak period as we have to wait for NTU vacation and after the A levels.

Your dd learns to take charge of her learning which is excellent
Keep it up

looks like she is a late bloomer. it's completely ok with me. i want her to do take things slow and easy. enjoy school.

we talked while having lunch today. i explained to her that NA is a more comfortable pace for her. it's OK to stay in NA..don't have to worry about 面子.

It is absolutely ok to remain in NA if your dd is comfortable with the learning pace
If she is in Express but suffers, what is the purpose?

Precisely. That's what I think so too.
No point going to express, suffer the fast pace and lose confidence. Right now, she is doing ok for English, math, borderline passing for history and geography. Have to work on her science tis holiday.
Some of her former classmates from p6 are ignoring her...so I advised her to forget about them as friends should not look down on others. I think that's the reason why she wants to go to express stream.

We also started planning our Dec vacation a couple of days ago, and as always, I get to do the research and the main \"busy\" work - tickets, itinerary, accommodation etc. My husband gives opinions, the family pow-wows a bit, then I do the work and submit what I have found out for \"approval\"!

I took a brief look at freelance projects to fill up my excess time and the rates do seem poor! I decided to put my energy elsewhere for now. I do enjoy doing \"homely\" stuff in between busy periods and you are totally right to book ahead of peak periods! The good (and popular) places go fast and sometimes you get a discount for early booking.

Have a great vacation next week!
