I recently ran into some problems with my Thermomix, whom I affectionately call my German boyfriend. I even gave him a name. Those on my Facebook will know that I adore Magnus. I constantly rave about how sexy and how much better he has made my life. He has brought my cooking to new heightsContinue reading “Thermomix Saga”

Making it work
Yesterday, our PM announced that our CCB will be evolved to KNNBCCB and extended to 1 Jun. Our Minister of Education decided FHBL is not going to work long term, so he declared school holidays from May 4 to June 1. All the kids go back to school on June 2, barring no more covidiotsContinue reading “Making it work”
When Life Gives you Lemons
Tell the Big Guy up there, \”Thank you for all your lemons and the people you sent to help me make lemonade, but that\’s enough for now. Enough lemons liao. I\’m about to puke from too many lemons. Amen.\” Updates on HQO A wonderful God-sent friend of mine escalated my dad\’s HQO situation to MSFContinue reading “When Life Gives you Lemons”
When the Man takes charge & Home Quarantine Order
Today I went to work. I got up at 6.40am and was out of the house by 7am. Heh. So damn enthusiastic about leaving the house. So I cleaned up my work station a little, did my mountains of marking. What does a PE teacher have to mark? You ask. Health Education Books (6 classesContinue reading “When the Man takes charge & Home Quarantine Order”
Post-Apocalypse Trial – All fail
The cabin fever is getting to me. In fact, not just me, all of us at home. Kid1 and 3 are usually very quiet, in fact Kid3 is largely non-verbal. They have started snapping and yelling at the rest of the siblings. My parents are snapping at the kids. Everyone is snapping at each other.Continue reading “Post-Apocalypse Trial – All fail”
Coronacation Day 2
Love is patient, love is kind. It becomes a mythical concept, when you try to work from home, and coviducate your kids at the same time. 1 Coronthians 13: 4-5 I had an easier time today. Not because the kids had gotten into the routine, but because I decided to take it easy on myself.Continue reading “Coronacation Day 2”
CCB FHBL Day 1
I know why the local Homeschoolers were aghast at how the term \”homeschooling\” had been used loosely by parents who were coaching their kids at home. Full Home Based Learning (FHBL) is NOTHING like the local Homeschooling scene. I would like to take this opportunity to debunk some myths. Myth #1 – Teachers do notContinue reading “CCB FHBL Day 1”
Removing sources of anxiety (T-1day)
Today, all the non-essential companies put their businesses on hold until May 4. It\’s also the last day before school closes for the CB. CCB starts tomorrow, Singapore. Remember to stay at home, stay 1m away from everyone and wash your hands frequently. The Ministry of Education came up with the Soaper 5 to encourageContinue reading “Removing sources of anxiety (T-1day)”
No toots given (T-2days)
My anxiety level is increasing as we approach CB Day. Sometimes I wonder why the G wants to use the “circuit breaker” instead of lockdown. I mean, where’s the circuit? What circuit? Circuit, by definition, a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place. “I ran a circuit ofContinue reading “No toots given (T-2days)”
Starting all over again (T-3days)
Today, I decided to start blogging again. I stopped for almost a decade, I think. Partially because I didn\’t know how to handle the publicity it was getting, and mostly because people were sharing photos of my kids as those “ASD examples” without my permission. I wasn’t ready for that. There\’s this strange thing aboutContinue reading “Starting all over again (T-3days)”
