Integer:

Yes, study leave.

has any one's DC starting study leave from 2nd Oct? my DD1 tells me something like after the 10th for her....so effectively she gets only 4 days' study leave ...

thanks champion!

checking in....
this morning while she's sitting for science, I was feeling so weird...
like suddenly she has grown up, going to move on to the next phase, and I have to let go..... :sad:

i don't have any kid taking psle this year...but i have a daughter taking psle and son taking o levels in 2016...don't know how to stretch myself even though the older one should be :xedfingers: more mature by then. the stress level will not end even when she goes to secondary school because she is academically weaker. but in Singapore, no matter how weak, die die have to finish another 4-5 years in secondary school before she can find a niche and passion in life.

firstly thank you for always being to supportive to the psle forum this year!

don't worry so much about 2016 ok? I am going through the same this year, it will all sail through, trust me. Don't really have to do much for O level except for moral support, do ensure your DS is consistent and does his work daily. Monitor his well being and give them freedom and space.

Jia you!

Anyone has booked day tours from scenic hitherland tours before? Do we need to book online in advance, any possibility of the tours fully booked if we book about 2 days in advance? I am thinking of booking the day tours once we reach Gold Coast as this tour agency is very near to our hotel. We are going in nov 14.


Thanks a lot!

I called in advance coz not all tours are daily and booking over the phone is easy. I told them I'll pay cash on day of tour.

VooVoo,
any tour you would recommend?

The crazy days will be over...and you wi. be able to breathe easier when it is all over. All of a sudden, you will find yourself so free that you can't believe it. In the meantime, monitor your kids and make sure they don't get burnt out. Drink more water...avoid deep fried food and try not to eat out.

All the best...next year this time, you will tell yourself, 'I have been through this craziness.'

what do u reckon are signs of burn out? if the results from the practce papers (not the top school ones) get worse and worse, is this a sign?
