      Happy Deepavali. Enjoy your holiday.

      Nice sunny morning after a rainy afternoon yesterday, not too hot yet. Good time to go pottering around your garden if you are into gardening. But keep your seedlings or newly potted plants in the shade cos might rain again in the afternoon.

      I am staring at my jungle thinking whether I should do some weeding and pruning.
      Good exercise !

      Y’day heavy rain. Last night was raining whole night over my side. Don’t feel like doing much with the ground so wet. Harvested some Japanese watercress for frying with eggs. Trimmed those capsicum leaves fr their base & started seeing fruits. No idea why my cape gooseberries keep dropping before it turns ripe.

      I do crouch for my seedlings to protect them when they’re young. There’ll be a trough where I hv very well draining soil before I transfer them when they’re stronger.

      Baking day for me. Starting on my Caramel Chiffon Cake. Going to get bananas to add to the cake for a diff try out.

        DS just finished his CL tuition. I wanted to order Grab food but no delivery riders available/all busy so the restaurants cannot take delivery orders. Wow PH is super peak hor. Ended up cooking whatever’s at home, simple dinner.


        Tutor very happy that DS implemented everything we revised for Oral and Zuowen. I’m also happy that the MCQ qns went very well. Seems that he is a contextual learner. As long as there are contextual clues, he can make a good guess as to the best answer out of the given choices.

        However, I cannot figure out why, although every component improved, still stuck in the same AL band…maybe it takes a lot more to climb out of this wide band.

          How you track the band? From his P5 finals? Results so quickly out already?!

            Maybe because it is getting tougher as they progress…so in a way still an improvement in maintaining?

                  Ask tutor set aside time each tuition to work on 作文 & 口试. Might help him pull up scores.

                      Need advice from medical personnel, pls.
                      A colleague’s dad passed away and left with lots of high blood pressure, heart, prostate etc medicine (unexpired).
                      Where can he donate or really just dump all?
                      Thank you.

                        I dont remember signing on CL paper..but her Math is rather bad. I went thru correction with her after that and because we were all sitting on sofa no calculator and pen..still can mentally come out with ans.. so can imaginehow difficult the qns can be.

                        She has done more than 10 past yr papers on Math and zero on others but Math is the worst performing :faint:

                        Your side, P5 no drop I think is very good already right..
