GCE O Level

Ah Ben is going to sit for his O level exams next month. Triple science, 2 maths, 1 humanities and 2 languages. 1 language - chinese, already cleared on first take.... C6 and he is already so happi pom pipi. KNS, these ACS boys all cannot make it for chinese one. The Chinese teacher told those who passed with C6 not to bother to try again.

Ok for prelims, Ah Ben hit 9 pts for best 6 subjects (L1 R5). 4 A1, 1 A2 and 1 B3. Not bad... actualli come to think of it, already quite good lah. If Ah Ben continue like this for O level exams, I also very happi pom pipi.

So wat is the good supportive mom doing for him now?

The good mom is actualli not so good most of the time. Becoz have to go out and work for a living so nvr have time to realli cook proper meals for Ah Ben. As a result, Ah Ben is realli very skinny. In fact, underweight. So in order for Ah Ben to have more brain power and more carbo so that he can tahan the challenging O level exams, mommy is cooking meals for him everyday. Now mommy practise time management. Juggle career and mommy-homemaker duties at the same time. Aiyah dun realli wan to care abt work for the next 1.5 months. Just make sure Ah Ben does well for O level. In fact, there is a subsidized holiday retreat to Phuket organised by mommy's company, but mommy has turned it down so that mommy can stay by ah ben's side whilst he does his O level exams. As it turns out, yes ah ben does not want mommy to go for that retreat becoz he needs mommy's moral support (in person) and rah rah cheerleading. Never underestimate the importance of mothers' presence at the most crucial milestones in their children's lives. Maybe I should have been a psychologist.....

Anywayz the good mommy is going to bed now. Tomorrow another long day to juggle work and home duties.
