PSLE results

22nd Nov - an important day for all 2007 PSLE students as this is the day results are released to them. Our familly has 2 girls, Yuvarani and Ashvini.

That morning after the morning job, I rush to bring my father to Clementi Polyclinic. Yuva sns me and tell me she is leaving with her father to the school at 11.00 to collect the results. What a surprise!

As for me, still waiting for our turn to see the doctor. Finally at 11.40 our turn comes. Afte the review and collect medication for him, it had by pass noon time. I tried calling the girl but she did not pick up the phone. So I tried her daddy. He told me her results was 207 with 2 As and 2 Cs and elegible for express course.

Then received a sms from my sister in law telling her daughter's results were 198 with the same 2 As and 2 Cs.

Back home, we were called to start off our discussion what schools to choose for the girls. It kicked off at around 3.00 pm. As Ashvini is elegible for both Normal Academic and Express. The girls would like to be in the same school, that made our selection for the schools tougher.
After much discussions, we each has a list of 6 schools and brought us to 7.00 in the evening.

Next day, there were changes in the choices with the seeking from our secondary school teacher staying next door. Ah pa went through the list and produce a fresh list - some deleted and a couple additions.

Tanks god the submission grace period is 7 days. If it drags on, guess there be more changes.
Currently our stand is Bukit Batok Secondary school although her score has a wide spread from the cut off. Her second choice is Hillgrove which she wanted to get in.

So let's hope she able to enrol into one of her likes.

A frustrating day

This morning brought father to Polyclinic to get his blood and urine tested.

Prior to the test, he needs to collect an overnight urine for 24 hours. Due to the 'new' doctor did not tell us previously about the collection, we need this extra trip today.

Things seemed to get screwed up and I started throwing my temper at the clinic.

After the tests, brought father to his usual hangout - Toa Payoh. He has a friend that owns a photo studio and he will leisurely spent his time there.

Sending him over there brings the time to 12.30. I then rushed home on the public bus. Concidently met Yuva on board the same bus when it arrived at her school.

Time seemed to be running short. Took a quick bath and lunch within the 30 minutes time. The girl comes to me saying run out of shampoo.
Once again the third time of the day, I blew my top. Why must they come to me when the stuff are run out. Do spare me some time to get these things as not everything are accesible within the compound and time.

Well, that is still not the end of today's story.
At the bus stop while waiting for bus, met my sister in law saying that the eldest sister-in-law is inviting us over to her place this sunday for a Deepavali meal.
I am not aware of it at all. Nobody is telling me about it.
Ghosh.... it upsets some of the plans that I have on that day.

Ai yo so many things at the same time on the same day!!!
The only solution - work and forget all these stuff.
Maybe shall finish off and go to bed early then.

Memories

Since the last post about the Taiwan trip, I had been busy at work and no time to write any entry.

I have not complete the selection of photos taken at Taiwan and sent for developing.

3 of us actually took 1,000 plus pictures and it is so difficult to make a selection from the batch.

Currently, there are about 300 over photos which had been chosen but might need to go for further filtering.

The initial choice to make a photobook was dropped as it became costly for so many photos. Besides, as a habit, me and my sisiter always like to put in the air tickets, any information brochers, room keys etc... into the album in which the photobook will not be able to do so.

Memories emerge each time we flip through the album.

My cousin, on the other hand, thinks that by keeping the digital photos on cd or stored in pc will be sufficient. Anytime that you wish to see the photos, just turn on the pc.

Well, maybe that is the different thinking gap between the 2 generations of 20 years apart.

But we still have a good time during the 8 days stay together.
