it feels like jan just started school last week and yet, there’s just three weeks left to the first term! the slow pace at the beginning gathered speed phenomenally over the last few weeks. the list of words for their weekly spelling tests are getting more challenging, and this week’s now include words such as frightened, favourite, and February. to think it wasn’t so long ago that he learned to read phonetically! they also now conjugating simple sentences, and solving one-step math problems with addition and subtraction. so far, jan’s coping well, enjoying maths even, but often needs to be nudged to do homework (well, would be strange if he didn’t). the one area he needs help, though, is with chinese. ack! i think we need to really find a tutor, fast!

with a one-week holiday looming, i’m scouring the web for short weekend getaways. while there are many possibilities, i personally don’t want to travel far with mia in tow. she’s starting to get mobile now, and a long travel time would just be a pain. we’ve done desaru over chinese new year and the it was fab arriving at the hotel within an hour or so of leaving singapore. so where to this time? abangan.
