Weeks Flown By

Woah, I didn't realise that I haven't updated this blog for over a month now! How time really slips us by when our days are packed with so many things to do!

During this time, there has been, of course, the SA1 school exams which spread over a good (ahem!) 4 weeks starting from 15 April 2008 and ending only on 9 May 2008. (How I miss my primary school days when exams never lasted anything more than 4 consecutive days, all in the same week....)

And there were also those other stuff in-between the exam weeks which had to be coordinated: my own medical appointment on 21 April, Auction (work) on 22 April, the boys' dental appointment at NUH on 23 April, R's trip to Nagoya from 24 April to 26 April, Mother's 10-day China trip from 19 April, WY's various school-driven activities + remedial lessons + supplementary lessons, all of which required him to stay-back in school on some afternoons, making a new passport for WY (we had had to squeeze in 3 trips to ICA in-between Saturday's CL lessons for this!), WY's UNSW Science Competition on 29 April, rescheduled piano lessons etc etc.....

In short, there were so many things to provide for and so many logistic arrangements to make, I think we probably put some entertainer superstar's Managers to shame. Really, it was quite amazing, no joke!

Fortunately, on some of those days where I couldn't take leave, CP was able to either reach home before 6pm to help WY in his revision or take the entire afternoon off to tutor WY. These were after Mother had come back from her China trip, so Mother was around to cook lunch for both CP and WY on those afternoons.

In the evening of the last day of exams, we brought WY to have his Typhoid vaccination. Then the following Monday evening, his Flu jab. All in readiness for the Xi'an (China) trip scheduled for 23 May to 30 May.
