the last time I was this burnt out was the year when son took his PSLE…I couldn’t face any books after he was done.

I feel like time really flies.. time been flying for so many years for me.. I really hope it can slow down a little! One finishes Sec1 and another has started having 'real (P3)exam'

This year 2020 will be over soon. Nothing much achieved except the whole world battling with coronavirus.

Once term ends, take a few weeks to really relax. You can ramp up a couple of weeks before school starts again. It's a long haul, so you need to plan for breaks at intervals.

Yes, time flies. My girls are now 23 (nearly 24) and 21! When I first joined KSP, my girls were 13 and 11! But seeing them grow is very rewarding, and I'm looking forward to the end of their educational journeys - at least the part that I am still responsible for (paying fees). If they choose to study any more in future, it's not my reponsibility! By July next year, both will have graduated, though in the current job climate, not sure when they will eventually get jobs. Luckily we are not waiting for them to earn money to support us.

I think we have learned that we cannot count on constantly \"onward and upward\", and we have seen that our Singapore government is both quick-thinking and practical, with a heart for the masses. I have gained much more respect for our government this year as they have grappled with life-and-death issues rather than just trying to make everyone richer, and the way they have explained hard policies in a way that encourages people to cooperate and comply (with fines for the recalcitrant). If nothing else, I think we have learned not to take social interaction, freedom to move around, freedom to congregate, physical school classrooms, etc. for granted.

My niece and friend’s son who are both fresh grads without work experience managed to find some short term contract jobs with reasonable pay recently. (6-9 months contract)
There’s some incentive for companies to hire Singaporeans, hopefully help will continue to be rendered for the locals if it is still necessary in the future.

Yes, the government is doing a lot to encourage this. I'm not too worried, really. For my older girl, I think she will find it harder to get a job, and I'm preparing her mentally that she should consider some additional training while job-hunting, or look for a traineeship of some kind. For my younger one, I think she should find a job relatively easily given her background and ability. She is managing her own job search - one of the places she is interested in already started online applications, even though graduation is months away.

we went to vivo city last night. had dinner and did some retail therapy. IT SURE FELT GOOD


bought a horgen bedsheet for CNY...but not a red one :rotflmao:
it sure felt good to indulge myself, free from the kids and hubby.

I can't remember exactly when I joined KSP...but it has to be at least 10 years ago. back then, I was still contemplating which primary school to register my daughter. my girl turns 16 in November and son is 20. in 3 months time, son would be 21. how fast time flies.
