      Ha ha limlim, thanks for sharing. So cute.


      Always had a feeling that beneath the pokey digs in his posts, vk is a softy at heart šŸ˜‚
      AB, you mean vk is durian? Hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Mao Shan Wang or D24? šŸ¦†

      Limlim,
      Did I read correctly? AB said you're so cute for sharing the photos. :siam:

        Thought porcupines are :scratchhead: spikey like durians...how come the person can hold the animals without gloves? But those pics posted are really cute.


        It's impossible for some kids not to have no tuition...just met this lady whose daughter in p3 has tuition for all 4 subjects...she works late till 7+ to have dinner and pick her kids before going home. No way she has time to coach daughter and rush home from mum's place at 9 to get younger 2 to bed.

              I can sympathies with this type of situation - Yes, as a FTWM, I also fighting for time in the late evenings with the children. Less so asking them to do revision, I have to divide the time to random check homework, sign parents' consent form (seem to have a lot from my DDs' school :scratchhead: ) and some bonding time with my 3-year old toddler.

              I have outsourced Sci & Maths to Tuition Centre for P4 DD1 -- she likes the teaching methods and the materials so I kinda of \"go with the flow\" šŸ˜‚ She is doing \"Ok\" in class so will see how it goes before :moneyflies: :moneyflies: for...more tuition??: :faint:

              P1 DD2 is the happy-go-lucky type šŸ˜‰ No tuition, No enrichment - the only 2 non-academic activties she has are the weekday Piano lesson at home and the weekend swimming lesson :imdrowning:

              Am pretty comfortable with the current arrangement (hopefully that can sustain šŸ˜† ) as mummy here is too tired & lazy (maybe this the real reason :siam: ) to do much coaching nowadays.

                  VK turns into a porcupine once in a while. I suppose he clicked the \"submit\" button too fast... He usually meant well but can be very pointed sometimes... šŸ¦† ok ok, I am a fan of his posts :siam:
