Boy's WA messages

As the kids grown, they rarely want to text me. But on rare occasion when the boy's was in super good mood because of school exam results, he does text me.

Year4 Final exam result. In year 4, they have their finals earlier in Aug, after which the gap sem will be started.

Of all the subjects, I am most worried of HCL. Really glad that he can 70s. 

He rarely studies for any of the subjs, either play with his musical stuff, hp or sleep.  Always boost that his method is study smart and can deliver.

Sometimes I cannot stop my nagging and highlights this is never the method to study, especially not for chinese, but I also learnt that they don't listen.

That's how I focus on cooking and baking, making things they like to eat instead of watching, and keep track of their revisions.

facial laser

Ever since the kids stop doing tuition at learning lab, I had so much extra $ for my own self. 

And I started spending the $ on facial lasers.  This little maintenance on myself cost $150 a mth while their tuition & enrichments cost during primary times easily $1.5k

From simple laser, to pico and finally today its the ultimate, co2 laser.

I looked just sunburnt & total swollen.
