So morning till 1pm, I will do household chores, cook lunch, tutor DD and prepare her for school. Then I start work from 1pm to 5pm at home. AFter that will cook dinner, bring the kids back, make them eat, shower, homework blah blah.

Hi autumn82,

Tell your DD 加油!!! :rahrah: Last paper already. :ugogirl:

Good luck to everyone too. :celebrate:

Ya, she also very hardworking.

Last nite she threw up her dinner. Then this morn down with high fever. So this morn, I quickly brought her to the doc. Doc gave her 2 days MC, but she insisted she was feeling alright, except throat pain. Other than that is fine, so she missed her CCA but went for school.

She wants to go school to finish her test.. Tsk tsk. So I told her if after test or feeling unwell, give me a call. So far, no news from her yet.. Hope she's feeling better.

i agree, we (women) should pamper ourselves well too, now i understand why there are so many school holiday, it may not mean for kids but for us (parents) to take a break too.

My gal's bdae is at end of Nov, so to celebrate with her classmates, we usually celebrate advance like the last day of sch.

End of Nov not sch holiday meh???!!! :? My DD1's b'day oso end Nov leh.

cantbearit2, last day of the sch academic year will be on 18 Nov. If your DD really wants to celebrate, you can celebrate earlier for her. Alternatively, you can have a party at home for a few of her closer classmates. Don't forget to invite all of us here, ya...keke. (No shame hor, :oops: )[/quote]Then we prob won't b celebrating for her liao. Prob juz distribute goodie bags in advance. hee.... When she's older & we hold party, will definitely invite all of u. Then we can have a KSP party as well. :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:

[cantbearit2]

jesyeo:

WooHoo...test over!!! Can rest and relax now!


I have a joke to share. Yesterday morning..ard 6+am, we were all sleeping soundly and suddenly hear my DD1 scream. And guess what, she said DD2 bite her toes!!! but DD2 is sleeping! So how is that possible? After some thought, I concluded that my DD1 must have somehow places her toes at DD2's mouth and DD2 thought that I am giving her milk bottle, so she just bite it. hahahaah..coz every morning, I will just give her milk to make her wake up.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
This really lightens my day. This kind of confusion happen to me during my sec sch days too.

We had camp at sch and all the girls were sleeping side by side. One of my classmates had accidentally set the alarm clock in the middle of the nite. We were all sound asleep when the alarm clock went off. Thinking I was sleeping in my own bed, I picked up the alarm clock (wif eyes still closed) and say in a v frustrating tone:\"hello? hello?\" and finally slam down the phone (the alarm clock). All my classmates woke up frustrated wif the alarm clock but ended up laughing their heart out. the next morn, I became the joke of the day. I was the only one who did not know abt the story till they relate it to me. :oops:
