9 months of intensive coaching...that was really PEAK...this is the first weekend after PSLE. I kept to my promise by letting son play to his heart's content. After 2 days, he was bored...the sudden release from tuition and books was too much. We went out almost everyday...even though daughter will be having SA2. I can't face any more books.

Well, lets paint the town red...we really need to recharge batteries.

In the meantime, I asked son to coach his sister :evil:

Eeeeerrrmmmm. Maybe he's bored cos din go out with friends?? DS has been going to friend's house after school since Wed. They play network games, kick soccer, badminton, nerf guns etc. He would come back damn happy & then feel guilty leaving me 'alone' & would treat me extra nice at night, offering to play board games, watch TV, lie down beside me etc. Until I gotta shoo him off to have some 'ME' time. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Wow, BeContended, your DS has so many programmes!!! & he's such a nice boy. Not all boys are so sensitive & considerate!!

Bought Guitar yday. DS said he want to take this opportunity to pick up some instrument. So will be signing him up for class. Maybe also to learn 3rd language... but he has yet to decide which to learn.

I actually wish DS will pick up some skills/interest next 2 months. But looking at how much fun he has, think hard liao. Programmes - sure a lot. But sadly, think may be traits of a typical lousy neighborhood school. The kids are generally less concerned with their results. Near PSLE time, DS actually was a little shocked & asked me why are his friends not going home to study but loitering at playground after school. He also commented on the repeat students still playing & not studying despite a second chance. :sad:

On off, they would have sports, gathering etc. I only allowed DS to join max once a week. 2 weeks b4 PSLE to stop all cos he was getting 'distracted'.

It is so different from DD's Sch. She transferred Sch & for 2 years already, but only attended 1 farewell party. Her classmates are always in all sorts of tuition/enrichment or studying. Gathering was near impossible & they basically dun play (i think play to them is chess/violin/piano/orchestra etc). DD whined a lot over this disparity with the bro, she's very envious & often asked if she can join her bro. :gloomy: I felt bad for her but choice made to transfer, gotta live with it. During Jun, she was overjoyed when one of her classmates asked her out for a movie, first time.

C'mon. Chill, ok. All that matters is that you have done your best. Don't say such ok? I was a student myself and definitely have gone through similar emotions as you are in. The results are yet to be announced. Do not be so hard on yourself. In fact, you should pat yourself on your back that you have worked so hard and come out standing tall that you have accomplished your first major examination in your academic life.

Your parents will understand. PM me if you want another pair of listening ears ok.

It's not how many As or A* you will get, my dear. This is not impt. You've done your best. You've not let your parents down! If you can't meet our goal now, you still have O & A level. There's still a long way to go. Don't feel upset, ok.

You have tried and you care - that is what is important. A and A* depend on how the whole cohort performs. So there is still hope.

In life there are somethings under our control and some beyond. Right now, your PSLE scores are beyond your control . So let go.

It's just the first milestone, many more will come and each another chance to prove yourself.

It's over. Period. Don't mull over what could have been. One can and should only look ahead. Past this mark, it'll be the O's and whatever to look to. PSLE will only a distant memory.

Do not despair. Most parents will not feel let down, especially when you've given your best effort. Its usually the effort that matter most.

Not sure how you managed to check your answers but always take it with a pinch of salt if you are not checking them with your teachers.

Chin up please, the result is not out and it may not turn out the way you feel right now.

I assure you that your parents will always love you for what you are, not your marks or scores. You have done your best. Do not despair and scare yourself silly by speculating what score you will get for PSLE. What's done is done, who knows you have done better than you realise. If not, bite the bullet and move on, there are many routes to success in life.

Enjoy these two months while you can. Stay happy and upbeat.
