Coping with Circuit Breaker and Home-based Learning

Today is the 8th day of the Circuit Breaker and 4th day of Home-based Learning (HBL). I have worked from home for more than 2 weeks. The good news is that we are all alive and no visible injury reported so far. I can't say the same about 内伤 though. Lol.

The HBL is definitely proceeding much smoothly as compared to last week. I guess the kids had gotten into the churn.The school has also come out with timetable and plenty of homework (hardcopy and SLS) for the kids. While I don't see much online teaching going on, there are definitely enough to keep the kids occupied during the school hours.

The kids have timetable in place to ensure that there is no clash of laptop usage. Thankfully, Daddy Lim's work laptop was sent to him last weekend in prep of lockdown and we now have a "spare" laptop in case of clashing schedules. So far so good but the parents have to jump in as IT support on several occasions.

I am glad that Daddy Lim is on MC and could jump in to help with the kids. More importantly, he reduced infection risks; there are so much infections going on with foreign workers now and I am sure many of them work in the shipyards.

While the kids are on gadget for much more time than I desired, I am too tired to control. Fortunately, they are disciplined enough to do reading and revision time as per their "after school" schedule.

Our 1st Circuit Breaker weekend was boring. The kids were constantly asking me what we would be doing the next day and my reply is always "nothing". Seriously. Fortunately for the new TV and PS4 investment, we alternate between gaming and Netflix and had already caught quite a few movies. We even completed the puzzle. Power siah.

We baked cookies too and I suspect that there will be more and more baking in the coming weekends. Haha.

The only opportunities to leave the house would be the morning exercise and the NTUC grocery shopping. With the gym and swimming close and no group cycling, I had been alternating HIIT workout and jogging. The kids joined me for 1 morning and called it quits. Lol. Ya, I know, it is not the most exciting exercises to indulge in.

I am secretly enjoying the almost everyday grocery shopping at NTUC. JP is not exactly a dead town but most of the people are like me, secretly happy heading to NTUC.

The kids had started asking to tag to NTUC. I know, it is a tough period and we are all growing mould.

Fighting! Let's hope that the Circuit Breaker will not be extended. Sob. Meanwhile, let's also control our eating. It is so easy to feel hungry and it didnt help that my fridge is very well stocked. Sob.
