Hah ! earl wins. Well lucky for him then. He made the right move ousting Yau Man cos if Yau got into the finals, Earl would not have won. I still find what dreamz did detestable & deceitful. As for cassandra...haha...hopeless case. No one paid her any heed in the reunion. Forgettable. Dreamz is in his own world...dunno what he is saying. You fucked up & lied means you fucked up & lied. Dun beat around the bush.
The book...is DONE !! It was an awesome read. Sometimes I had to re-read conversations becos of the manner in which it was written; the same way it was spoken in those days.
Hubby out meeting fishing kakis & then off to fishing pond with dyran. I was contemplating going shopping but the thought of the crowd during GSS seems intimidating.
Godson went for a minor op to remove his extra thumb. The op was sooner than expected cos the surgeon had an available slot. He is doing fine. His mummy sent me a pic in his walker, topless like tarzan sucking other hand while operated hand was bandaged. It is good that he gets the op at this age as he will recover faster & I suppose there will be less pain.
Yesterday took half day leave, went to ryan's school to pick up report book & meet with teachers. He did good in his math, eng & science, scoring above average & doing A's for these. He did not get a U grade for Chinese !!!! Which is a good improvement. So form teacher didn't say much about other subjects, just about chinese & how to target for better when PSLE comes. Bought form teacher & chinese teacher Canelle cakes which I hope they enjoyed. Canelle does awesome cakes. Can't give teachers gifts as they have to declare but perishables are ok so I decided on the cakes & also knowing that they would be busy, may not have time to eat lunch.
Having dinner with godson & his parents tonite. Looking forward to seeing him.
Ahhhhh poor sarah down in the dumps from her blog but she is ok now. Just left for church. Yesterday GPP bought her a bought her a pair of orange pants from M & S lol...what a bright colour but pretty though.
We haven't been stressing her as parents, at least I don't think we have, becos she is sensible & responsible. We trust that she will not get into any messy situations. But we do nag her on keeping up with her studies, spending less time on the comp so that she can sleep early & rest, keeping her room neat... But I dun think its excessive nagging. Most times we allow her out so long as she tells us where & she gets back by curfew. We like that she spends time with church friends, some of whom are alot older & would look out for her. Its sad though that she doesn't get along much with her classmates. Even sadder that normal classes are seen as less capable.
Recently, a mother wrote in ST forum about the elitism attitude of some students in a convent school. She didn't say which & well, it is quite apparent where sarah is at. Though she qualified for express, she decided with our support, to head for normal. Unfortunately the school pays more attention to the express girls. Doesn't this breed elitism ? The normal classes are just left to be & the subjects combination doesn't leave them much room to excel in what they may want to choose to do. For example, sarah would have loved to to Lit but it is not offered for normal classes. Instead forced to do Principle of Accounts. WTF ? I wrote 3 times to the principal...twice on email & one hand-delivered letter to appeal to allow sarah to do Lit. Guess what I got ? ZERO reponse ! This is NOT the convent school that I remember & now I know why must of my ex-classmates chose other schools for their girls. I am totally disillussioned.
Some normal class students may have a bo-chap attitude but there are those who do wish to do well. Ignoring all of them then reduces their chances of doing well. Shouldn't normal classes be given even more attention to be nurtured & encouraged ? But I am delusional. The educational landscape claims equality & nurturing based on capability. I really don't think so. It seeks only to cultivate & develop the cream of the crop. Nevermind those who are in normal or even technical, let them grope & wing it on their own. Screw up then too bad lor. Who ask them to be in normal or technical. Well helloooo...DUH how the hell did the different castes system of education system come about ? Immaculate misconception.
Lament for the day : I think I shall write the principal again...
