Matthew is at Changi Campsite


Matthew went to the Changi Campsite for his Sec 1 Orientation. He was away for 4 days, 3 nights. The whole house was so quiet without Matt. I think we all missed him.

I attended Zhenghua's (Matt's school) Campfire to show my support for Matt. His class Sec 1-E3 performed a dance item. I thought it was quite good. Better than the other classes because one of his classmate, a Malay boy performed break dancing. He was really good.

GCE O Level Results

I received a surprise sms from Ms Chong, Amanda's form teacher. It said that Amanda had done very well in the O level exams; better than expected results. I was delighted and thrilled by the news. I am so proud of my girl. Despite the many challenges she had to overcome, especially after the 2nd cornea op, she had done pretty well in the exams. Amanda scored 2A1s in Eng Literature & Combined Humans, 2A2s in E Maths & Combine Science, and 2Bs in A Maths & English with a total raw score of 12 points. Net score was 11 points after deducting 1 point for CCA.

So what's next? She'll have to decide which JC to apply for that is within her points range.

SMS from father to son

I thought it was funny. SMS from father to son on the first day of school.

Dear son,

Today is your first day of school and a new year. Hope you can study hard and plan for your future. I have changed the password and don't try to break the code unless you are a rocket scientist. Wishing you the best in your studies. Papa.
