I think Alycia is getting a hang of her temporary job as a teacher to primary kids and pre-schoolers, though she still thinks that teaching is not her cup of tea. There’s this 7-year old boy who always fails his Ejaan, Spelling and Chinese spelling. Alycia has been in charge of teaching this boy (and…
Alycia received her very first salary today and she’s delighted! It’s a 4-figure amount and paid to her in cash. Though not a lot and considered below the minimum wage, it is still a lot to a 17-year old girl in her first temporary job right after SPM and without any experience. My sweet girl…
Alycia has finally told the owner of the international pre-school and daycare centre that she will resign and work until the end of April. Teaching is totally not for her. In addition to teaching regular pre-schoolers and primary school kids, she has to teach a 6-year old Autistic boy and even put him to sleep!…
I got an appointment for a briefing and tour of Sunway College and Sunway University last Friday. It’s our second visit to the university; the first was in December 2019 when we were there by invitation for a screening of the short films produced by undergraduates of the digital film production faculty. We were all…
Saturday, 27 March 2021 – The entire family consisting of hubby, our 3 girls, my youngest brother Roy and I went to the University of Wollongong @ Utropolis, Glenmarie for a short tour of the university and to have a briefing by the staff from the marketing department on the course that Alycia plans to…
Alycia’s sat for the last SPM paper (Economics) on Wednesday, 24 March 2021 after a month-long major exam. She and I can finally heave an euphoric sigh of relief that it’s all over after several postponements with almost the entire year away from school last year. I don’t even care how many As she will…
KL is still under a Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) with strict SOPs in place. Everything is still pretty much the same — shops are all opened, the horrendous KL traffic jam is back and people are dining in restaurants just like the way it used to during pre-Covid19 days. However, hubby’s catering business is…
Yesterday evening the MoE announced that the SPM Trials throughout the country will be cancelled. After being postponed several times, the government has finally decided to cancel the Trials as it it too risky for the students to go back to school in view of the wide spread Covid infection throughout the country. However, Alycia’s…
Alycia had a Zoom meeting with her teacher and classmates yesterday for the announcement on when the SPM Trials and actual SPM will be held. SPM Trials will be held in school next Wednesday for 10 days, after which the SPM exam will be held 2-3 weeks later, towards the end of Chinese New Year….
Alycia ordered some statement jewelry for herself from Taobao some time back and totally forgot about her order. When the parcel arrived yesterday, she had no frigging idea who the sender was until she opened the parcel. I can’t believe her choice of costume jewelry – the necklace and bracelet are chunky and totally attention…
So Cass is now officially a confirmed student at the high school of her choice. The school emailed Cass’ student ID to us two days ago. This number will be a bespoke number incorporated on the school badge which will be sewn on her uniform, which she will wear for the next 5-6 years. Cass…
Alycia will be sitting for the SPM Trials in less than two weeks. Her high school teachers are providing additional online classes on Saturdays and Sundays to complete the syllabus. Thus, the poor girl has not been able to join us for lunch for two consecutive Sundays.  And the littlest brat is at the stage…
When Alycia was about 10 years old, she told me that she doesn’t like dresses and will never wear a dress or skirt anymore. I really don’t know why both she and Cass suddenly hated to don on anything feminine when they reached their double digit birthdays. But both the girls started to wear dresses…
Alycia has been down with a stomach flu and absent from school for 3 days. Besides napping and doing a wee bit of revision, her eyes have been glued to her phone, watching K-dramas and K-pop videos. She’s supposed to eat clear porridge but this girl would ? at the sight of porridge. She wanted to eat…
When Alycia got home from a day’s outing with her friends yesterday, I was surprised to see her donning on a pair of bright yellow Adidas shorts the moment she stepped into the house. That’s now hers and I queried her. And there’s a story behind this super expensive pair of shorts, which I initially…
