This year's Mother's Day is very different from Mother's Day last year. Last year I recall being very chillax, as there is no MYE due to Circuit Breaker for COVID, so last year I was treated like a Queen. Hubby and children prepared Korean cuisine for me. But this year, I was treated with the harsh reality of prepping them for exams amid the rise in community cases.
This year is the worst mid year exam prep ever. Mummy remembered the wrong dates, and children started revision really late as they were in denial that exams are nearing. I tried to start them on revision like 2 weekends ago, but my pleas and warning fell on deaf ears!
So lo and behold, Mey had to crash her revision of 第一颗到第八课within a single day. Ray had to crash course his revision for Chinese P5A, P5B, P6A 第一颗到第六课within the same day. I told them they just have to fully utilize their brain capacity and remember as much as they can. Science they also had to finish "memorizing" their notes within half a day. Really have to 听天由命了。I did tell Ray he has to continue his momentum all the way throughout, as Aug is Prelims. And this time we will continue to study throughout the Jun holidays. I will be taking some leave in Jun to prep, but of course I do not have the luxury to take block leave like some Mummies can. Hopefully, this time we will achieve what we set out to do, instead of nuaing... haha.
Children still did their best to make my Mother's Day a memorable one. Mey gave me a beautiful card she made.
She wanted to get me a present, but as we did not have time to go Daiso, I asked her to buy me a cup of TB coffee instead.
Ray had time to go Daiso with me and I picked up this for him to buy for me. He bought coffee for me as well.
Of course, when Mey realized Ray managed to buy something, she started becoming grumpy. So looks like I will have to bring her to Daiso soon.
Saw this from FB, we went through a lot to give birth to our children, so treat ourselves well, not just Mother's Day, but everyday!
