school

school started on 2nd feb for all of them. by all accounts, it has been a plain sailing and a fun experience for all of them.

mingwei and shiqi are in year 6 and 4 respectively. orchard grove primary is 200m away from where we live, so they have the luxury of time. gone are the days of waking up at 6am to catch the school bus to school. here, school starts 9am and ends at 3.30pm. gone also are heavy bags, abundant homework and grumpy faces. they have each been to school camps in the last 2 weeks are they enjoyed them immensely. next week, they will have a 2 week easter break.

i remained their only nemesis in the area of study/homework as i have been stocking up all the assessment books i bought from popular bookstore whenever i am back in singapore. when i am there for good from may 09, i will start cranking up the homework volume. their 6 months honeymoon ends there and then. yes, i am a sadist as far as schoolwork is concerned.

shimun attends parkmore kindergarden 3 times a week. her school hours are shorter, about 3 hours and things also move at a leisurely pace for her.
