Impressive!! Scoring and Maintaining A* for English for the entire academic year 2017

I truly have to more prompt with my congratulatory posts!

"Life Stuff" and "Adulting" have gotten in the way of other matters... 

Congratulations to FJXX once again!
You have done so very well in English for the whole academic year of 2017!

Everyone is beyond pleased and I, for sure, am doing the 'happy dance'!

*oh yeah* *snaps fingers* *oh yeah*

Double Standards - Children Vs Grandchildren

Dearest Son spilled the ice cubes all over the kitchen floor because he yanked the ice tray too forcefully and the whole ice tray dropped. 

I did what most mothers would given the circumstances.
First, I took photographic evidence of the 'crime'.
Second, I sent pictures of said 'crime' to the family chat to whine and grumble.
Third, I cleared up the mess (but of course). 

My Dear Mother replied, "What a clever grandson! Oh, look at what he did! How adorable! He's so clever! He can open the fridge and take the ice tray by himself!" 

I mean... MUM?!?!  

Double Standards. Sheesh. 

If I had spilled the ice cubes all over, I would have gotten a severe tongue lashing.

Another occasion...

My Dear Daughter wanted to get her ears pierced.

My Dear Mother gushed, "Granddaughter, come, Grandma will get you diamond earrings." 

Double Standards. Sheesh again.

Hello?!?! Yoo Hoo! I'm still here!! *waves* How about me????!!!???

I got gold plated earrings for my first pair.
*sighs*
(Not even gold. Gold PLATED)

SHYE's Fabulous SA2 (2017) Scores! 96% For Primary 4 English! (14/14 34/36 13/14)

Immensely pleased with SHYE's excellent results for SA2 (2017)! :) :) :)

The pictures speak for themselves.

He scored FULL MARKS for Booklet A - 14/14!

He scored close to full marks for Booklet B - 34/36!

The overall score for his English Paper 2 was 48/50 (which is 96%)!

I believe that he told me that he was top in class for English Language!

I trust that he will continue to do well this year -- Primary 5 (2018).

6/7 38/42 41/45 IB Score for Year-End Examination 2017

Here's another happy news to share! :)

I received this text last year on Tuesday, 24 October 2017, after TWJH's Year-End IB Examination. 

He did 'Romeo and Juliet' for Year 4. Of course, there were other things that we covered as well but the main text was 'Romeo and Juliet'. 

He scored mainly 6s and 7s (out of 7). The lowest grade was for Chinese. If I recall correctly, he scored 5 out of 7 for Chinese. He scored 6/7 for English which is excellent! :) I'm sure he can get that 7 out of 7 for English if he works just that bit harder! 

I'm so proud of TWJH!! I've seen him grow up and I feel as much pride as his mother because he has done so well! :)

86% For Primary 5 English Language, SA2 (2017)

I have to be more prompt with my congratulatory posts! :)

Here's another (belated) announcement to make!

Last year, CXH performed very well for her Primary 5 Year-End Examination (SA2, 2017). I was and still am tremendously proud of her efforts! Bravo and Kudos! 

She has been with me since Primary 2 and I am overjoyed that because I have built a strong foundation for her with reference to English Language, she is doing well for Primary 6 English this year (2018).

*claps* *beams* *thumbs up* 

I look forward to her acing the PSLE! :)

Reminiscing the good ol'days in Hwa Chong Junior College HCJC

Prom Night Photograph. Hwa Chong Junior College, Year WXYZ.

Hwa Chong JC is now HCI, am I right?

Happy, Blessed 2018 everyone! :) Sincere Best Wishes and Much Love to all.
I was digging around and clearing this and that and sorting this and that when I chanced upon an old photograph taken during Prom Night way back (not disclosing when... haha).

Memories... brings back memories...

I do miss those good old days without much care in the world. Oh man, studying for the A levels was extremely stressful and all that but those good old days of hanging around the same old classmates and the routine of school and such... makes me go kind of teary.

Miss them when you don't have them, I guess? 

It's a different season of life for me and many of my peers now - chasing after the kids, worrying about homework and grades, attending PTM, rushing the kids off to school, picking them up, preparing their meals, zooming off for work... 

It's a different kind of stress and a different kind of life this season... 

Carpe Diem, everyone! :)

Celebrate Every Day!

ps: I wonder if I can still fit into That Dress. I still have it somewhere, by the way! :)
