I did badly, didn't I? ):
Even my pass was a VERY borderline pass.
Please, don't let me fail my English.
As for Science, I don't have much hope in it already.
I don't wish for more.

Quoted from my sister's blog.

"My mum always remind us that me and sis are lucky children, because not many other children have a family life as us. We have family days every week, although it's lesser now cos I have other commitments :(

When I was in primary and secondary school, many of my classmates do not celebrate birthdays with their family. However, I was fortunate enough to ALWAYS be able to celebrate it with a cake and my family without fail since I was one year old. Like I said earlier in this entry, we always receive gifts from each other during birthdays.

I feel that I have a above average knitted family relationship. We don't say verbal "i love yous" nor hug each other unless when playing, but I did remember kissing my parents good night all the time when I was younger. Left cheek, right cheek, sometimes forehead. Haha. It was until puberty stage when we decided it was slightly inappropriate to kiss or hold the hands of a father. Or maybe I became shy. Lol. My sis is still all cuddly towards my father though.

We try to go on overseas trips at least once a year (I know how hard daddy saved up for these trips!), go shopping together, have dinners together (I know of families who eat separately on their own tables), and sometimes go for recreational activities by going to animal farms, swimming (more like splashing around in the water), and beach for flying kites, cycling, etc.

I pledge to spend more time with my family this year, by trying not to attend events during family days, and going home for dinner more. Although this also means I have to wash dishes (which I really don't like doing).


I'm writing all this because I found out about the
NATIONAL FAMILY CELEBRATIONS 2010 (NFC 2010)

Organised by the National Family Council, National Family Celebrations is an annual event which celebrates and reinforces the importance of families and family life. This year, Singaporeans are encouraged to make a personal commitment to their families by being a part of the Singapore Family Pledge Movement.

To provide opportunities for Singaporeans to follow through on the pledges to their families, there are a myriad of activities under the NFC 2010 calendar – which will interest the young, the old, and everyone in between! NFC 2010 will be held from 25 May to 26 June 2010, and this year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Celebrations. For more information on NFC 2010, visit http://www.nfc.sg"

"A strong sense of commitment is the foundation for a strong and functional family. We encourage everyone to make a personal commitment to their family, be it establishing family traditions, giving appreciation to family members, showing affection or spending time together. Make your pledge now! "

Therefore....
I'm suppose to make my pledge as well.
Over here. (:

I pledge to spend more time with my family this year by joining them in the same room at night where we were all using our computers. (Usually, I'm at the study room, while the rest of the family are inside the air-con room.)
