Coping with HBL – Timetables and Schedules

Coping with HBL – Timetables and Schedules

HBL here we come!! 💪🏼 The kiddos used their last HBL schedules as a reference and did up their new timetables for this round. It’s much easier this time as they’ve done it before.

Time management is a life skill. Kind of liking this home schooling thingy as I can add on more extra stuff. 😈😈

We’ve done our 1h swimming this morning. Slightly behind schedule but we will catch up! I noticed that the kiddos added a lot of buffer in the planning. There are lots of food breaks. 🤔 And SOMEONE certainly doesn’t take 30 mins for piano practice. More like 5 mins. 😓

Looking very serious with HBL

Gaming is Serious Business

Gaming is Serious Business

This is serious business. He spent 15 minutes (with some inputs from his sister) writing down all the various tower names from Toy defenders (a game in roblox). If only he’s this serious about his schoolwork… 😓 (he emphasised that he’s “more important” under the credits section).

I can only remember a handful of these names. (Yeah. Lao niang has to play this game with him as a chaperone.) My brain just goes into screensaver mode whenever I see these names.

Ming Ming’s Friendship Band

Ming Ming’s Friendship Band

Looking very smug with his friendship band

小小宝贝 : Mommy Mommy! See what Sherry made for me??
姐姐 :Maybe she likes you??
小小宝贝 :Of course! Or else, why would she make the friendship band for me?!
Someone is very confident siah… 😅

小小宝贝’s First ePTM

小小宝贝’s First ePTM

The first ePTM (parent teacher meeting) ever since he started primary school. We didn’t have one last year due to covid.

“I can’t believe it! 弟弟‘s teachers said he’s such a well behaved boy in class, very quiet (huh!!!) not a social butterfly (huh!!), very focused and attentive blah blah blah. His Chinese teacher even said he’s the most responsible 小组长 and can be entrusted with everything. When I told them he made friends with the boy standing behind him while queueing for chicken rice, they were totally surprised!”

姐姐-“Erm Mummy, did you remember to write his name as your nick when you joined the zoom meeting?”

“Hmm… I forgot. I used my own name.” “Maybe they thought you were another student’s Mummy and they were not referring to him. 🤷🏻‍♀️”
“Good point there!! There were talking about his classmate and not him!”

弟弟-“I’m a very good boy in school ok!!! 😡”

“Then why are you so naughty at home? I’m going to send your home videos to your teachers so that they can see your true colours!!”
“Nooo….!!!! 😭” #evilmom #siginna #devilathomeangelinschool

That’s his art homework (surrealism – incorporate a vegetable or fruit into drawing). A cucumber boat.

Guess What I’ve Made?

Guess What I’ve Made?

He can play with almost ANYTHING under the sun. Leave him alone with a rubberband and he would find 101 ways to entertain himself with it. Yes, that includes shooting me with it and getting it confiscated.

He dug out some of his old toys. And built all sorts of things with them… watch, cup, box, car etc.

Before you scroll down to see the answer, what do you think he’s built??

I sent the picture to his father…

Me: check this out! Guess what he’s made!

Hub: hmmm…. Chun Li??

Me: 😑 no lah.

Hub: Princess Leia??

Me: 🤦🏻‍♀️ NO! Why are you guessing all the female characters??

Hub: cinnamon rolls…

Me: sigh… they are headphones.

Hub: then why aren’t they at his ears??

Me: eh… not enough building blocks…

Ming Ming’s Diary – I Don’t Want to Go to School

Ming Ming’s Diary – I Don’t Want to Go to School

Super moody today…. 😩

Even the yummiest cookie tastes like 💩 without girls. What’s the meaning of life??

Wha..aaattt?! I’m overreacting?? Ok ok. Since I’m in a monk’s class, I’ll meditate to cool down. 🧘🏻‍♂️

Orhmm orhmm… where are the girls… orhmm orhmm… where girls… orhmm orhmm….

I haven’t been posting because I’ve been so so so depressed. Sigh….. 😞

Why?

Look at this 👇🏼

Depressing right??

What do you mean what’s wrong???

Look carefully (don’t blink!) 👇🏼

See the Problemo???

Nooo..?!

All the Mei meis are MISSING!!!

See!!! All boys in the class!!! Oh my Mei meis are gone! Oh Laura! Oh Taylor!!

Before the school holidays, my class was full of babes who milled around me for my attention and now…

Only boys!! I’m in an all boys class!! I’m in depression!! It’s what they call a monk’s class!!

Mama!! I want to change class! Or I’m going on STRIKE! No more going to school for me!!

Mama do you hear me???

Na ah! I’m not going to change my mind.

No school for me until you bring the girls back.

Meanwhile I’m going to homeschool myself. *reads my car car book*

And so… I went to school, to my monk’s class because Mama said the school fee has been paid and I must go to school, with or without girls in class.

Tough luck!

“Are you going to school to learn or to see girls?!” She asked.

I wanted to say “beo girls, of course!” But she looked so….

That I thought I’d better keep my big mouth shut….

Hey wait!! Who do we have here??? Looks like there’s a bit of rainbow 🌈 after the rain 🌧.

A Mei Mei! Someone up there must have heard my prayers.

Hey babe! My name’s Ming Ming. What’s yours? Can we be friends?

Awww owl, are you fine? Can I keep you for a pet?? *pats the owl lovingly.* what? Ok ok. Mustn’t get distracted. F.O.C.U.S.

Eating together at snack time.

Nom nom nom. Say, how do you find this class? Cool, right?? Will you stay? I can protect you. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I can even give you my biscuit 🍪! Nah!

Huh? What do you mean? I’m coming on too strongly? Scare her away? Ok ok. Chill chill!

It wouldn’t do if she leaves the class and I’m back to facing 7 monks. 😱 Kill me pulease!

Gosh! There are owls lying everywhere. I just rescued one from the floor.

Ming Ming’s Diary – I Spy with My Little Eyes

“Ting ting!” My babe antennae is up!

I spy,

I spy with my little eyes,

A cute babe

Up ahead!

Hmmm… doesn’t quite rhyme. I’ll work harder on my prose.

Check out her innocent unassuming look. 😍

Awww… so sweet with the black clip on her hair.

Come to think of it, her face looks kind of familiar… *ponder* where have I seen her before??

Hmmm…. do I have a twin sister?

DAMNIT! WHO put that black clip on my hair?!?!

Now all the girls are going to think that I’m a damn SISSY!!!!!

RAWR!!!!

My Dream…..

My Dream…..

NONONONO!!!

Mama!! You’ve got it wrong! I didn’t dream of Mei Meis! I dreamt of food!! Almond milk and bananas!!

Don’t you know that the way to a Man’s heart is through food. *gives you the evil eye*

Sigh…. *face palm*

I had a wonderful dream last night! 🥰

I dreamt… that I was lying in a banana raft (a raft made of bananas??) floating down a river of almond milk.

I was in paradise! Sigh! My 2 favourite food! When I was hungry, I nibbled on my raft. When I was thirsty, I drank from the river. Sigh…. BLISS…!

HEHEHEHE

Can’t help laughing when I recall my dream.

Overhead Mama talking Papa, “Wonder what beautiful dream he had last night. He kept laughing his HEHEHE!”

“It’s a pity I didn’t manage to take a photo of him!”

“Maybe he was dreaming of being surrounded by beautiful girls. So he giggled to himself??”

😤 What do adults know?!

Ming Ming’s Diary – It’s Just Another Morning

Hmmm… What should I do this morning?? 🤔

Ok. I can think better when I’m sitting down.

Shaking legs…. even better. I find that shaking legs makes my brain work better. Just like my toys. You have to turn the little knobs to make them move.

Hang on! I just had a revelation!

Does that make ME a TOY?!?! 😱
