Day out with Felicia (last day of exams)


Dear All

Today's the last day of 2 long weeks of exams. Yes, even in primary school nowadays, exams last that long! Started with the compos, orals, etc. Then the main papers this week. Made the poor girl skip choir practices and guitar lessons for exam preparations. P5 is such a BIG jump from P4 and she's feeling the heat! You see, our school had a change of principal, so I guess she's trying to push the students to achieve very high standards! But they are only 10 year olds! Where have their childhood gone?

Anyway, since the che che will be ending her own LONG 2 weeks exams tomorrow, and going out with her friends, I told Feli I'll bring her out for a treat. I feel she's still too young to go out with her friends still, nor go hang out at friends' house!

We went to eat at her choice of eatery (Aijinsen) and her choice of movie (it's between Water for Elephant or Beastly, but Beastly won).

Today is opening day for Beastly with the preview opening over. Here's a snapshot of today's advert for the show:
Feli loved the show immensely. It's follows quite closely to the classic fairytale of Beauty and the Beast, but in a modern day setting. Good morales are taught which is a great way to share with your younger ones. There's some passionate scenes though, so you may not want to bring kindergarten kids to this. A nice show to watch especially if you can get your tickets at a discount. School kids pay $6 whilst adult $8. With passion card @ Shaw cinemas, its $6.50 per ticket. I think it's this discounted rate during weekdays but am not sure :)

Tiffy says her friend recommends Thor...must be good as her friend wants to see it AGAIN! (It happens to be the movie watched by the WP during the day before polling day too...I guess it must have something to do with the "mighty" hammer and superhero theme! Haha!!).

Anyway, holidays are coming. I shall again look out for fun (read as "cheap") activities for the kids and try to share them with you.

Love
Theresa
