Tiring Out the Destructive Force Part 3
To keep them out of mischief, tire them out with one leg stand competition! I can feel my brain cells withering bit by bit every day from coming up with new ideas.

小强 and I
When I post serious things on my social media, nobody chaps me. When I post about bo Liao things (after scrolling through my posts, I realised that I’m quite bo Liao 😅), many people message me, some long lost friends.
Especially after my 小强post. This is how we rekindle friendships and bond over cockroaches. Thank you 小强!
Quite a few people messaged me after this…. This is one of them.

Ming Ming’s 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
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.
CB (Circuit Break) Life Woes!
And so Singapore started the CB (Circuit Break) (What were you thinking of? Certainly not a hokkien “slang” I hope…). CB is uniquely Singaporean – made famous by our PM Lee!
#1 CB horror story…..
Opened the vegetable door of the refrigerator… “OMG! This is the only thing we have left!!!” Until our next Redmart delivery (which I spent like 2 weeks to get a slot.)
“Don’t worry! Let me see what I can harvest from my yard!”
“Waaa! I have harvested something! We can have this for dinner!”
3 eager sets of eyes…
All went 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻🤦🏻 Guess I need to step up on my farming production…. very low productivity… 😅
Back to School…
My friend posted an article on Isaac Newton used the time closeted at home (during the Great Plague of London) to work on mathematical problems and had several breakthroughs. Here I am… not going out often because of the Covid19, studying the new method of heuristics and modelling or whatever fancy name for P5 maths. Haha, nowhere near the Newton standard though. Nevertheless, it is fun to learn new stuff.
Nowadays, we even discuss about maths questions in whatsapp chat groups. It was especially busy during PSLE prep time when we were busy helping friends work out answers to the challenging PSLE maths questions.
However, it would help a lot if the teachers set the questions properly and without ambiguity. Sometimes we kill a lot of brain cells to come to a conclusion that, the teacher must have set it wrongly. And lo and behold, we are usually right…
Tolong teachers! When you anyhow set questions hor, you kill a lot of parents’ brain cells (and their friends’) leh…
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…
Orange ? Famine!
Parent Teacher Meeting…
All the usual niceties about him being a good boy in school (the teachers wouldn’t believe that he’s a tyrant at home. ?)
Teacher : By the way, is it possible to tell him to use other colours besides orange for his work?
Me : Oh, orange is his favourite colour. (Yes… for the longest time ever, orange as his fav colour seems to be sticking. His other colour fetish before orange)
Teacher : Yes, yes, we know. He uses orange colour pencils for writing and orange crayons for colouring everything. The problem is, other children (his gang of boys of whom he’s the Lao da) see him doing it and they are all doing the same thing… ??♀️ so… we are running out of orange pencils and crayons in the centre…
Me : ok… let me speak to him.. he likes red too. That’s his 2nd favourite colour!
Teacher : we know… that’s the 2nd colour running out…
Ooops!
