Muahaha! Love ur dh's sense of humour, Harlequin. Wait ... he's joking only rite? Or are you that lethal ...

Not yet use the golf clubs.... :evil: save the best for last, they call it the parting shot.

On a serious note, when I rant to him I am usually not angered by him but by someone/something else... not til he dozed off, that is.

When I am angry with him, I will scold our dog :boogie: .... keep scolding the dog til DH says sorry... muahaha!

DH is a mild and even tempered guy, the cheerful and easy going type, that kind that we called Mr Yes.... so, I turn to the dog lor

I know this travelling thingy can be disruptive. My friend does regional sales for an MNC. He travels all over Asia every month, has access to VIP lounges in airports, eats expensive food, stays in good hotels but said he misses home all the time.

Mabbe outside nobody laughs at his silly jokes? :scratchhead:

It's different (outside and home). Only those who travel often would understand. Like my hubby, becos work takes him all over the world so often, he said he never really need to \"go on a holiday\". To him, nothing describes how he feels about home than kit chan's song \"home\".

:thankyou: for all the sharing and the laughs. I love KSP :grphug:

Thanks for being there for me, when I was down, being ostracized or criticized.


Few days ago, I just had an emotional outburst.
情感爆发…hahaha.

U just watched the Taiwan idol drama on channel u?

I see a lot of my younger boy in you, Janet. A perfectionist.

Just as I hope he would ease a little, I wish all the best to you in finding peace n balance.

I just watched my latest idol...simply charming and oozing appeal.

I am a perfectionist...that is probably the reason why I get anxiety problems. Even hanging the wet laundry requires more time doing so, bcos I like to see clothes hung nicely...if I want to do something, I want to do it well...if not, I rather not.

This craziness causes unnecessary stress...sad to say, daughter has inherited that perfection trait.

Nah, it isn't craziness. Just our personality. Over the years I hv mellowed down. I believe u can do it too. Jia you.

My daughter is lacking in her foundation since she started P1...she is weak academically and it has been stressful coaching her...we wanted to home-school her for 6 months, to ramp her up as she is stressed out among her peers. But principal felt it is not a good idea to deprive her of a holistic education. So we will meet up again to discuss how best to help her.

Daughter is not lacking in her IQ and EQ...in fact her EQ is amazing.
So, I can only hope her principal, teachers, tutors as well as hubby/myself can help her...but we have not set high expectations...which I never did.

Academic is indeed an aspect that is causing many parents undue stress. My next door neighbours send their dd to an international pre-school. She is due for P1 next year. Understand from the father that they hv decided not to put her back into Sg mainstream, but to continue in the international school. I dunno how this is possible. The little girl is smart looking and speaks with an American accent.

\"My daughter is lacking in her foundation since she started P1...she is weak academically\" - r u referring to all subjects?

Home schooling is effective if we r able to provide a match in teaching method to her learning style on a one to one basis.

I always hv this regret - putting my younger boy in another pre-school when the one my elder boy attended moved to Shenton Way and also not insisting on lower pri enrichment classes for my younger one. His P1 FT who taught EL n MA was more involved in her leadership duties than teaching the class. The P3 FT was worse. I only hv time to stablise EL and MA. CL is in bad shape. Sci is outsourced.

Luckily his P6 teachers are responsible and hv good track records, so I could ease off on myself by trusting the sch teachers. Else, I do not know how I am going to survive this year.

Another 3 months to go and it will be a new chapter/challenge next year :nailbite:
