Easter Assessment

My boys had some holiday coking up. But it would not be before they complete their exams next week. Such a drag as most if their other friends had a week break last week. They had to align it out instead.

Come next Friday, they would be off for almost three weeks. And Anita planned to take them up north for a few days with her parents coming along. It had been a while since my Dad-in-law travelled. And he had not been in a good shape lately.

I would be at work unfortunately, followed by the Annual MSH conference taking place in Kota Kinabalu at the end of April. Don't think I would be able to join them for their trip.

Idlan needed some lovingSome respite ...So, the hits spend their weekend at the apartment, playing games in between revision. They still had to do their normal homework, which I thought was a bit silly. That's explained why Idlan had been grumpy last few days. He just had enough of homework and exams. And I could understand why. Too much emphasis was put into academic achievement why they boys couldn't develop socially.

I ended up convincing them that it was UK to kiss on some of their many homework and do a a hit of revision. Then, Thye would have a couple of weeks to enjoy themselves.

Revision Weekend

No outing this weekend since the boys were in the middle of their end-of-year exams. So, the home situation was rather tense, and my job was to ferry the food in.

Irfan wanted some Chinese and Idlan wanted some beef. Obliged. And still they were late to go to sleep last night. Getting them up for school this morning proved to be a challenge.

Will be on call today, so I won't be able to help out tonight. Best of luck boys ...

Bad Week

This couple of days had been rather hard for Anita. The school changed the assessment criteria and as a result, the students had to submit project by the end of next week and two-weeks notice. And between the two boys, there were 26 projects needing to be passed in.

And to make matters worst, those projects would form 30% of the final marks. All this was down to the recent - I meant a month ago - change in Principal. A new headmistress from Australia I think.

Determining to cause a stir, I thought she tried to make these sweeping changes to prove a point. As a result, the children - or in our case - the parents suffer. Both of our boys had taken ill with high temperature over the weekend. Irfan was back to school today, but Idlan was at home.

The whole situation had put our proposed Kota Bharu trip in jeopardy.

We have yet to make the final decision about the trip, but we would know by Friday where we would be celebrating the Raya next week.
