Another Lazy week...

Ok, I've passed another lazy week. This week sis officially started her maternity leave since her office is moving and they are forced to clear a week's leave for the shutdown. In that way, she need not waste her 1 week leave and can start to prepare for Ashlynne's arrival. By preparing, we really meant to wait for Ashlynne's arrival, since there's nothing much we can do except wait for her to be ready to come out of her warm and fuzzy "home" right? Anyway, there hadn't been any signs that she's coming out any sooner, so instead of getting all stressed up and second guessing when baby Ashlynne will arrive, sis finally decided that she would go in and induce instead. So tomorrow at this time, she'll be in hospital for induce and baby Ashlynne will probably arrive Monday morning. We are all very excited that the final moment has finally arrived, and by Monday we can see what baby Ashlynne looks like LOL

It's another week to Hao's CA2. His progress in school hasn't been comparable to the earlier half of the year, and that's quite worrying to me. I've been getting him to revise his work for a week now and this week will be some intensive revision for his CA2 in a week's time. It's scary how much stress kids (and parents too!) are under even at Pri 1. I wonder we are too gan cheong ourselves or that the kids are catching on so much faster that the school cirriculum has to be so intensive now. I don't recall having to memorise the multiplication table when I was in Pri 1! A little part of me wished that my kids can learn in an environment that wasn't so emphasized on the importance of grades but more on personal development and their individual competency....
