Have a roaring good year

It is a tad late coming from me, but Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

Not all visitings are bad, there were quite some amazing people I did meet, though there were some I sure do not hope to meet again.

The start has been lots of visiting which I seldom do (but the little one has to get some actions, doesn’t she?), lots of gatherings (to pass time with the minor gamblings, or just obligatory catch ups with relatives from overseas), and a through-the-night L4D2ing that saw us finally conquering one map of advanced after killing tens of thousands of zombies, and restarting more than 20 times (for 5 stages in total) in 7 hours.

It was nothing short of spectacular in our views, but I am sure you beg to differ. But when we walked out into the breaking day, the sense of pride was beaming through us. Imagine 7 hours of efforts go unrewarded, it would be like getting the highs from all the humping but not achieving the orgasm.

Then, time to pick up the pace again, and plenty of stuff are on the to-do-list.

Lotsa planning needed to be done.

And there is only so much time left. Time to ROAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!

So, there are couple of schools to check out and to meet the school masters. I am not sure how much is it going to devastate my bank account, and it seems like a pretty scary step to take.

Any tips from mothers out there?

And of course, the extra-curriculum classes (no, I am not a believer of drowning my child in those excessive classes, but there are some I think are quite enjoyable and crucial for her.. especially when she is this active) that are useful?

I am looking for classes that help to grow, and get them involved, and appreciate their strengths, and nothing of the competitive shite that other parents are so into that will stress Minibean out.

But sorry baby, it is not a choice for you to not take up swimming, it is an essential skill and don’t worry, I am not expecting you to be the next Joscelin Yeo or Ian Thorpe.

Decisions, decisions.
