[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]HI mummy OnABudget,

My son's handwriting used to be so atrocious. I told him NO EXAMINER is going to figure out what he wrote and it will just be a BIG CROSS marked.
I crushed the work he did...bcos I want him to know that his work will be treated like that.

SAME and he told me mummy u know how many trees u are killing i answered him but indirectly you are the one killing them not me. :evil: :evil:

He told me the same thing...I told him don't change the topic...'you are killing me too' !!!
I told him I crushed so many pieces of paper for his time-table.
Even if he can write a good compo but with that atrocious handwriting, it's as good as ZERO. The examiners have so many scripts to mark...they are not marking potential doctors' work but students. So, write neatly.[/quote]Ya they are all so good at changing topic like today my boy been *busy* chasing the baby around i ask him whats your job he told me student then i ask him so whats your job scope he answered to study hard, so i ask him why u chasing the baby he said but my part time is baby sitter. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Hi mummy OnABudget,

Did our kids attend same camp? Why do they say the same things?
I have told my son many times, he has to STUDY, WORK HARD and BE RESPONSIBLE. When I told him school starts next week, he grumbled that it's too soon :mad: Why does school start 2nd Jan ? Why not 3rd Jan? :rant:

I am in no better situation too. My girl is in p5 too.



She barely passed her HCL and now still waiting for more bombs to drop onto us.

I wish I can close both eyes on her results.

Don't worry. My girl failed her HCL in P5, she got 30 marks only... :sad: She took PSLE this year and she got merit! I was very surprised. Tell your girl to pull up her socks and not to be discouraged. :rahrah:

My nightmare started since P5 last year…one bomb after another. Never recovered from it and before we realized, it is P6…the biggest and most tiring marathon.


PSLE is the big picture…do not let CA/SA results frighten you. Can start to work on English and Chinese this holiday since they are languages. It’s going to take several months leading towards September…don’t push the kids too much in the beginning or they will get burnt out.

yea thank the lord for the wake up call has come last night he realized that he did not receive any bursary this year because he was asking why the letter has not come and when told we guess is cause he did not make it this year he went quiet.


He wrote a letter to me and dh promising that he will wake up his funny ideas and start to work harder as he does want to maintain his own perfect yearly bursary record, all i told hubby is now we shall sit back and see how he is going to work harder but of cause being me i cannot just sit back and do nothing i will monitor and push him when needed to be.

My son still had weird ideas when he wrote Chinese compo…overly imaginative. Tutor told him to be realistic b4 he went off track.

This whole year, my wonderful tutors and myself have been keeping him rooted. I held a ‘supervisory role’…making sure he is not drained…giving him extra TLC when he is down.

PSLE is a day earlier in 2013…starting from Sep 26. With CNY in Feb next year instead of Jan, do expect a little rush as time is tight. Plan a timetable. If taking holiday program for March and June, confirm ASAP.

[janet88]

Have to confirm so as to have peace of mind. I confirmed all holiday programs for March, June and Sep in Jan. Usually holiday programs are for existing in-house students, and seats are limited.

Anyway, MANY boys write atrociously, so mummies, :please: don't work the blood pressure up.
