the past few months came and went slowly but quickly. The harder bits slower and the happier times quicker.
In Oct - we were totally like just doing the PSLE. Since preparation was done in earlier part of the year.
Once the results is announced in late Nov - We've visited Taiwan for the first time and loving it. Not bad a place to do spa, shop, eat - affordable too. The kids had their fair share of fun.
On the results - Nathan made his grandparents and us very proud. He scored 264 with merit for higher chinese for his PSLE.
Since we had made the choice to DSA to Hwa Chong, we did not deviate from the choice and went ahead without much thoughts to appeal to Raffles. But when we did our registration for his Japanese (3rd Language) course at Ghim Moh, we learnt that HCI boys does their French and Jap at Ghim Moh and RI goes to Bishan. No point transferring since the flock differ. Oh well - it's gonna be a long thursday for him for 4 years.
KK and I did the annual standard chartered run. His first time and my second. My timing is better this year - woot!
Nathan tried to SYCO but did not get it, the kids there who were auditioning were really talented and good.
Natasha was not selected for the GEP but she is still in the level's top 2 classes.
Christmas was fabulous. We had a walk from Hort park to Hendersons wave. Breakfast at Telok Blangah rise and short cut back to car. afternoon break then mini get together at my place from his family. We had guesstures (like charade), MRT stations (like calling each other's names) for all the oldies and the young ones.
A short carolling time. then games and makan till 11pm.
We also did some garang thing - we chiong up and down Malacca on 27th and 28th. but it was fun for a night out at Malacca, eating peranakan food, navigating with virtually no help, the kids shopping for their own stuff.
So it's New Year's eve tomorrow. What is my 2010 outlook???
