      U're welcome.....
      Unless there is last minute changes, ( which we are not aware of), but i doubt so lah....
      Juz puzzled, why the admin couldnt confirm with the caller the date. :roll: :scratchhead:

      maybe he / she realized that the caller is one of the kiasuparents so better kiasi a bit ... say don't know or not sure better... :rotflmao:

      Dunno leh, I called end Mar, admin told me usually last Sat of Term 2 but not firm yet and asked me to call back later. I called last Wed, same answer! That's why so frustrating. Ought to \"shoot\" the lady who picked up my cal! :nunchuk:

            Ok, son brought home all the SA papers today...what's done is done. So now, all the work he has to do will be timed. I put a red tomato design timer on his table...loud enough to scare day lights out of him when it buzzes.

            Speed and accuracy... 😓

              :hi5: i also bought a timer last year to time my DD. This year she automatic takes out and time herself but usually she sets about 10-15mins earlier to remind herself to use the balance time to check through the paper.

              Your tomato design timer sounds cool ... where you bought yours ? Mine is a simple one i bought from daiso

                DD got back all her SA1 results. All show improvement except for maths and the T-score is still far far away from her dream school…


                So I will let do more maths now, to re-gain her confidence in maths. She hates maths!

                Jia you all mummies!

                  My boy did fairly well. I think he needs to work hard during the June hols; no more computer games.

                    DS is so slow in getting anything done. It can really get on your nerves.


                    In terms of hours, he clocks tons of it but there is no quality in it. He doesn’t put in 100% effort so the hours are often wasted doing everything extremely slowly and talking whenever he gets a chance to. I’ve told him many times, encourage him, used timer, motivation treats, scream at him etc. Nothing seems to work.

                    If going to his desk without urging and sitting there with books in front of him is a good boy, then he is. But if sitting at the desk the whole time without getting anything much done is a bad boy, then he also is one.

                    I tried very hard to contain myself this time, but today I just couldn’t keep it down any more. My bottle cap popped! Maybe exploded. Maybe this doesn’t sound like what a mommy should do but years and days of nagging, nagging and nagging… I really can’t take it anymore.

                    I really can’t understand DS. He puts in loads of effort but it’s not good efficient effort. Basically he thinks that by sitting at his desk the whole day long, that’s hardworking. I hope this is a wake-up call for him. If he still chooses to be in lalaland… … …this will be a very sad journey for him at the end of it all.

                    I need a miracle!

                      Daiso. Actually I used it in the kitchen but realized it's more practical for him :evil: I don't like those digital ones.
