End of PSLE

Oh yes, we are so done. Hoho. 

We had a normal weekend doing usual weekend stuff. I didn't feel as anxious as pre-PSLE since the weekend. I thought maybe I have gotten used to the heat or maybe I just don't care anymore. 

Zaky has his CL papers on Monday. We didn't do much revision, relying on Teacher S and her Sunday morning 恶补. We did try to look through some P6 词语 on Sunday and decided that we are done. Hoho.

Has Zaky improved in his CL? I think he did. I am impressed with the Chinese Oral stuff that he had memorised, like 父母是我们的启蒙老师. Who is 启蒙? While I still roll eyes at his composition, he has now managed to use some very chim 词语 and 成语, like 数落, 倒抽一口凉气 and 送人玫瑰,手留香. Chim right? Just the other day, he told me "Mummy, I am 佩服". Wah, I never expect this kind of Chinese vocabs to come out of his daily spoken Chinese lor. We saw these Chinese words on a van's rear window and am glad that he can read them, while Daddy Lim cannot. Hahahaha. 

Does it mean that he would do well for Chinese? I don't know. He has unfortunately not mastered how to transfer the hard work that he has put in for Chinese into tangible results. But we have tried our best. 

Yday he had his last Science paper. It is his favourite subject but he is even more excited at the prospect of completing PSLE. He bounced out of bed and was all smiles. He said that P1 was tough and tricky but P2 very manageable. He doesn't care anymore. PSLE is so done. 

Zaky had his plans rolled out for after PSLE. He is talking about lunch with classmates after school on Thursday, playdate with the boys during the marking week, USS with his friends, prawning... he got to sleep in this morning as it is the HCL paper but woke up at 8am to play game with his friend. 

The exam baton has been passed on to Nana, who started her EOY exam yday. Today, she is taking History and Art and got a ride to school bcos Daddy Lim didn't have to send Zaky. 赚到. Looking at her art pieces, I don't have much hope actually. Hahaha.
Now is the time to start thinking. SST or not? Aiyo!
