We survived 4 days of HBL, and today is also the start of PSLE. 💪

This time round, I never set up any schedule for the girls mainly because I wasn't very ready and since it's only 10 days 说长不长，说短不短. I have so much things not settle yet so I decided to let nature take its course. 🛶 船到桥头自然直。

Day time was pretty manageable, because the girls are busy with online work and homework. I prepare their snacks earlier which I shared on my IGS, or u can swipe left to see.

I started this in May which I shared on my blog (link in bio). Starting, they do not know how to control and finish the snacks before the "school" ends. Too bad no replenish. 😝
After awhile they get a hang of it and don't bother me about snacks, hungry etc.

They only keep calling me for IT stuff (no sound, no screen, change backgrounc) which is getting on my nerves especially when I'm trying to listen to my lecturer talking. 👹

It's not easy for us parents, it's also not easy for the kids.. although it seems like they are enjoying.. but occasionally they miss their friends, the social life they have and their emotions let out channel is greatly affected. Plus the uncertainty for those who are preparing for exam.

Sometimes not having a schedule, letting ourselves to relax awhile, it's good for our mental health.

Not sure how long this "one step forward, 2 steps back" restrictions will last.. 😅 it's good to rethink by changing our mindset so we can handle this pandemic better.

All the best to those who have kids doing PSLE! And may we all stay positive and love. 🥰

With the spread of coronavirus slowing, Taipei announced Monday that COVID-19 restrictions on indoor dining at restaurants will be eased, with people no longer having to be seated apart and divided by plastic partitions when eating with friends or family.

疫情初期，新加坡採取了積極的 「清零」 策略，但在 6 月，意識到 COVID 有可能永遠不會消失，政府宣佈將轉向與病毒共存，用疫苗控制疫情爆發。隨著限制放寬，每日本土病例激增突破一千大關，新加坡能否找到與病毒共存的方式？

In this world premiere of the new [Lukas in Taiwan - 外國人介紹台灣 PODCAST] S1E1, to celebrate that Taiwan now has stepped down from Level 3 to Level 2 restrictions, the YouTubers @Prozzie & @馮韋元 - 法國台客 help me figure out how the Covid restrictions and quarantine has looked like in their own countries. We of course also go way off topic and talk about if Prozzie ever will have kids, or order anything from Amazon....
