Dec is the time to hope to get a free diary. Nowadays, giving diaries away is not popular anymore. Maybe I hv to start learning how to make one.

Is your diary for journaling? There are undated ones which you can buy, or my girls just use ordinary notebooks. If it's for appointments etc, I finally caved in and switched to using my phone calendar!

[MrsKiasu]

I had the info on my phone calendar wiped off after update…not sure if due to the linked to accts as I have more than 1. So sad then as I have many info kept on my calendars. I m not a tech savvy person…now kept on postponing updates. Think I will be start jotting down some info on some calendar note book.

MKS, your problem easily settled with \"treats\" leh. :evil: ask your DD to plan what needed to cover for the weeks till Dec, also ask her to incorporate what she wants to do for relaxation. If she plan big what she needed to do for study, she will have to plan big for her \"play\" as well. She needs to take ownership. Maybe it is one of the motivation. Every week, there will be a mini diagnostic test to see whether what she had revised is already deep set in her thoughts lor. You try lah.


For my side, I nagged at them to read more Chinese Story books and we watch 1 Chinese movie in alternate days. DS1 is giving tuition to some P5 coming to P6 kids in Maths. DS2 kaypoh comes along to learn lor. They did Maths and then play catching with the boys, soccer and fly kites. Yeah they are \"busy\" in their own ways.

thank you lc for yr suggestions!

your ds1 giving tuition after psle or before psle? He is such a good boy. After I read yr this post, I told dd, let her admire la she is so quick to say I can also give tuition but only to meimei

Psst. If you want to loose weight, the most important thing is to watch what you eat. I was walking from 10K - 15k steps a day for 2 months without any decrease in weight. Then i stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks and I lost 6 kg. So its what you eat (or don't eat). Right now at 69kg which is still rather high...

Mind over matter.

Was feeling hunger pangs last night. Then somehow crave for smooth porridge. DH said will drive out get some for supper. I said no lah since we’re all comfy getting ready for bedtime. Just turn off the light & the mind just adjusted to it till morning. Maybe got my porridge fill in my dreams. Mind over matter.
