Don't know if DS is the one who slacked after prelims or I am the one. Feel like got no more juice left to push. Maybe I am burnt out!

Haha, Chen's advise can apply to you
Have a foodie fun break for 3 days .
Actually that is what we did for DD. During Sep hols , 3 days getaway at Sentosa to just chill out. Both DD and DS fondly remember that break even now.
Only I was paranoid :frustrated: . Watched like a hawk over what she ate , avoided crowds and every ride we went I was on my toes to protect DD from accidents...even repeatedly warned DD, that if she were to fall , NOT to use her right hand to break the fall.
Refused to let DD fly the MegaZip too much to DD's disappointment.
It was well worth it for her.
Not so sure about me though! -
I dunno about you ladies but I am reminded of the last month of my pregnancyโฆ WILL THIS THING JUST HURRY UP AND COME OUT!! I am so tired!!
-
DS also look xianzzzzz. I also getting lazy, but gotta keep reminding myself to set good example (still got DD watching us closely, this gal is lazy like the mommy so cannot let her catch me too relax :rotflmao: )
Was at west mall & saw a ukulele + teach yourself book with 2 disc @$69......looks interesting & bought one set.
Hope can cheer DS up

- Gasp! You sniffed! Are you falling sick?!
- Don't eat too much cake, sugar reduces body immunity.
- Drink this herbal tea, it will keep stress away.
- Don't go out in the rain, your father will get the car and bring it here.
- Stop digging your nose, flus get transmitted that way. No nose digging until after PSLE.
- That person sneezed. Don't walk into his cloud of sneeze.
- I just sneezed. I can't put you to bed till I feel better.
- Let's take the escalator, not the lift. Too many germs float about in the confined space of the lift.
The worst was when I said to my son...
- That man does not look healthy.
Even my husband gave me a strange look. -
Looks like we are in the same boat. Feeling lazy and wait to give birth like what Chen mentioned. Haha
-
And when on the escalator: don't touch the handrails!! :nunchuk:
:rotflmao: same dialogue!! -
Peony:
OMGosh... I COMPLETELY forgot about those dirty handrails on the escalator! Ngiahahahaha! I learn from you. This weekend, I know what to say on the escalator. :rubhands: :rubhands: :rubhands:And when on the escalator: don't touch the handrails!! :nunchuk:

Hey babe, this PSLE thing is exactly like 9 months of pregnancy. It's sep now and the endurance test is killing me. I think the last 2 weeks before sep 27 will feel like 38th week of labour.
10 months of preparation...
:frustrated:
Seeing kids so stretched is heartache but no choice...it will get tougher as time goes on.
When we go out for dinner, the first thing I want kids to do when we return home is to take a warm shower...use life buoy. Drink more juices. Dont touch escalator or trolley. -
Chenonceau:
NO PE.

Sleep if tired.
Stay out of the sun...no outdoor activities.
When you see someone sneezing/coughing, avoid.
Take vitamin C everyday. -
DS had 2 bouts of serious illness during his prelims. Both times had very high fever. Had to take 2 rounds of antibiotics. 1st round was flu and then 2nd round no other symptoms except very high fever, doctor suspected might be meningitis so took 2nd bout of antibiotics before flare up. All this when DS was barely sick for a day for the last 2 years. Just shows how much stress the body can take. Thankfully, DS has recovered very well.
In way, Iโm glad it happened now than later.
