Chasing the Blues…

Everyone Monday is PE day for Anthea and she is allowed to wear either her PE Attire or House attire. Basically her Monday time table is quite relax and according to the school, they would like to chase away the child’s Monday Blues…haha. For the day schedule, they have PE, Music and Art lessons; it is supposed to be an Aesthetic day too.

This morning she woke up at 6am and was looking forward to school. She had her breakfast – ham & cheese sandwich with a boiled egg and a cup of chocolate milk. I told her she needed to eat a healthy breakfast as she will be exercising during the morning and she needed more energy.

In the morning she will have her PE Lessons which comprised of following activities according to her PE Teacher – Mrs. Lee.

- Swimming
- Wushu
- Basketball
- Badminton
- Skipping

Adrian is still on leave for today and he went over to school to take a peek at her during recess. Anthea had requested to buy her own food, so I didn’t prepare any bento snack for her.

At recess time, she bought noodle and a drink for her snack. In the afternoon, when I fetched her from school, she was all blushed from the morning exercises. We went home for shower and lunch. Anthea took her afternoon nap.

In the evening, she had her tuition class and I was surprised to see more children joining the class. I guessed now that school started, parents are starting their children for the extra lessons. I am glad that we had a head start in December.

This morning Adrian saw an advertisement on the Straits Times about SAFRA Spouse membership. He said he can sign me up as a member at the special rate of $1 a year. I told him it’s can’t be that cheap, there must be some kind of hidden cost. He went to Toa Payoh Safra to check out the promotion and true to the ad, I was signed up for 6 years membership at $6. Now I can use the facilities at the Club houses.

At the same time, I am signing up for the Energy One GYM membership at the special rate. Now I can still do my gym routine as and when time permits.
