what a piggish world it is//*

Monday, March 14, 2005 * (19) time really flies...

Wow, Term 1 is over...

The students are supposed to enjoy their one week's break - catch their breath after Term 1 CAs OR do some self-reflection OR revise the subjects they're weak in OR just simply slack and bum around (without spending too much $$ of course)! But for many, they'll be just as busy or maybe even busier with their never-ending school-related activities!

Just look at my kids... Jon was already in school by 7.20am this morning for his Legion camp while Ben had to meet fellow councillers after mass to discuss their programme for Orientation 2. Poor Emily, she was supposed to have fun with Melissa at Orchard today. Instead, she had to be at Yio Chu Kang by noon for an ARC exco meeting as they are in the midst of intense preparations for the 3-day FRS competition this week.

And poor poor me... I thought that with the start of the school holidays, I could sleep in late today, attend evening mass, followed by dinner out! Hmmph, I had to wake up early to send Jon to school. As Ben and Emily had meetings today, the family attended the 8.15am mass, after which Emily went for catechism class. After I dropped Ben off at PS, it was back home for breakfast. All too soon, it was time to pick Emily from her catechism class. Then we swung home to pick up her ARC stuff as well as Brenda. After dropping the girls off at Yio Chu Kang, I decided to drop by SJI to pass Jon his shoe bag which he had left behind in the car. As I had predicted, the Legion people were taking their lunch, so it was a quick and easy drop.

It was 12.20pm when I reached home. I took a 5-min nap as I had a terrible headache from all the driving. The maid was 'off', so I cooked a simple lunch aka instant noodles for hubby and myself. I didn't want to eat out anymore as I was so tired of getting in and out of the car by then! Ahhhh... I checked my mail after lunch, surfed a bit and decided to update my blog!! But I've got to go off now - got to prepare dinner cos the maid will not be back until 6pm. And I thought today was going to be a lazy Sunday for me!!

But however busy you are during this short break, do take time to read this and may it help you become a better person...
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Choose your words, for they become actions.
Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they will become your character.
Develop your character, for it will become your destiny.
