We went for our Bintan trip despite the prelims and CA2 looming around the corner. Like previous exams, I am always preparing way in advance and then totally relax one week just before the exams.
This time, we managed to organise this for my side of extended family though there is not much - mum, bro, sis n family and ours. All 10 of us including kids. We sure had a great time sharing stuff and relaxing at the pool, the beach for a while, watch the sun rise and our very own BBQ ... hopefully we will have another such trips again in future.


Bintan 21st to 23rd Aug

Nathan thought he did quite ok for his chinese oral on 19th Aug. What he had "aimed" and gone through before came up so he is confident.
The second day for his English oral (20th Aug), he felt totally bummed out on the conversation dept. He was asked to describe a good act he came across. His mind was totally blank on good act.
He laments how he's not see a real good act for a long time! He was quite affected by it but it's time we taught him how to move on after feeling disappointed with self.

Natasha is consistently prepared for the CA2, except Math, she seem to have alot to catch and I can't really put my finger on where she don't get it. Anyhow, she always surprise me with her results - pleasantly, let's hope she does it again.
