Saturday and report book
Today, we went to SATA at Ang Mo Kio for a yearly routine check. And it's quite amazing that within this small premise, they contain alot of customers! I did urine sample, blood sample and X-ray. The results will take around 2 weeks. It was a National Day package, hence they charge $65 for each person. Eve managed to find this deal and so we just took it.
We fasted from last night 12am to 10am and we headed to the Ang Mo Kio Market and they have a stall that sells great bean curd with jelly and nuts! I didn't manage to take a good picture! However, I will definitely patronize on it!
It is nearing end of September and within less than 100 days, we will reach 2013! I have to make full use of October, November and December now! Spending time with my children and family is really fulfilling! And I enjoy cooking meals for them.
Report Book
----------------
Eve managed to dig out her secondary school report book and it's quite nostalgic to read through the pages and to recall, we are so ALWAYS anxious to see what our school form teacher will comment about us. To think about it, we really studied alot of subjects and the number of topics covered are alot too. There came a question:"Are they useful?"
Alot of times, we merely just memorize without actually understanding what we have learnt. And I feel that we should have more practical and more interesting lessons as students.
And now, many of the things that we are doing are not even school related at all. Eg parenting, cooking, making money, helping people, giving back to society, socializing, ettiquette and sex education.These should be included in lessons plan to make it more wholesome. Don't you think so? I can still remember that we have CIVICS and MORAL book, a thin book which I got punished for not bringing. It talked about is stealing; smoking correct? It's good but they should have more context.
Academic results are not so important when you progress later in stage. We should build more emphasis on character and personal skills. Probably the rest of the skills should be taught by parents, but it was not told. Anyway, overall parents should teach our children. It's our responsibility.
